what is courtesy??

My father always tells me " As humans we should carry minimum courtesies". In my childhood i could not understand what he meant by that statement. I got the following mail few days ago, after reading that I felt that what was told in that is the perfect manifestation of "HUMAN COURTESY" please find the story below. At the end of the story if your eyes shed tears, dont scold me. Feel glad, Coz its only a symbol that you still carry a human heart!!! Many around doesnt have one!!! At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.

me @trekking!!!

its a long time since i'm thinking to go for a trek. because of all the crap happened over the last one year or so i never gave a thought to my bliss dimension of life. whatever happened is all due to the way i'm built so i cannot escape. now comin to the trek, the trek was to antargange which is 60km from bangalore and was organised by bangalore mountaineering club. As usual i went to the trek alone by knowing which people went almost mad but i said to them "Lion hunts alone sorry now treks alone :) :)" it was actually more of crawling and jumping than walking.

I felt glad for them, because my mom dont want me to do it even though i'm 25. most of th

Happy birthday Ramu!

today, its 1st April. popularly known as All Fools day!! its only a wild coincidence that some one like Ramu born on this day. There will be many people in our lives who will help us if we ask them but there will be only a few who will help us before we asking them, and they are called as "FRIENDS".

I just wrote some memories of mine in my telugublog . I wish to write much more but space is always a limit. once again, many ha
