A lot happened in life

I am writing this after many years with refreshed thoughts. Meanwhile lot many things happened in life. Life is full of surprises, I am also no exception to that saying. Marriage brought me complete shift in my life style. Now I have a lovely wife and two wonderful kids. I own a sweet home too at Hyderabad. Just settling down after experianced  radical changes. 

I happened to tilt my interest towards ancient Indian history from contemporary. Started reading few books. Impressed with the work done by author Sanjeev sanyal. It is giving me immense pleasure to know glorious days of our ancient past.

I can't miss mentioning community where I live. I am living in very good and vibrant community. It is giving a feeling of village culture "living together ", true purpose of community.

Having said that its been a mixed experience since I wrote my last blog.  Lost few valuables got few valuables.

"Life is full of surprises "

Proud feeling of an Indian

For past few days I am thinking deeper into idea of a nation and driving positive change in the society. I am trying to understand above said concepts. In this process I heard few good speeches by Mr. Jaya prakash narayan& Guru Sadguru from Isha foundation. I am inspired by these two. These two are in the process of awakening society about idea of nation& driving positive change in different ways.

It is thrilled to know that undivided civilization is there for 5000 years in India and second country to have such a heritage after china.  Though Mesopotamia has 10000 years history, they don't have continued history.

I feel proud to be part of culture which showed the world how we can get Independence without violence. After that INDIA integrated 562 princely states without violence to form a nation. Only violence happened for Hyderabad state and 5 people died. this is remarkable achievement and never happened in the world. The astonishing fact is the India never invaded on any country in past 10000 years.

India has a wise and great culture which can accommodate new religions and casts and so happened many times in the history. Perhaps India is the only place where we can see many religions, languages, geographical diversity coexists. This makes me proud to be an Indian.

I must touch upon Indian democracy. It is very difficult to provide freedom to citizen in terms of speech, way of living in a such a diversified environment. Indian constitution provided all these to all citizens and we have a real freedom in our country.  We have given voting rights to all citizens above 18 including illiterates by recognizing real democracy. We are pioneers in this area. Later many countries followed it. Of course there are few glitches as well in form of modern politics. I am sure Indian can pass this phase and move towards good politics.

I must acknowledge the fact that we are still developing nation even after 60 years of Independence. I feel this is because of political system not because of potential. we have so many natural resources& huge human resources to become a developed nation. Don't forget the fact that we were the richest country in the world before 17th century. Our economy is 3% of global GDP same as in 1947. All development measure parameters like healthcare, education, per capital income have to improve a lot. Many analysts in the world are predicting that INDIA is going to be top three economies in the world and beat USA by 2040. This will happens when we do right things for next 20 years. There is lot more to do to outperform our peers and become developed nation. 

So I urge everyone to part of change and put pressure on our political system in a democratic way. Democracy should win ultimately. With this positive note & hope I am concluding this post.

My birthday

Hello All,

I am writing this blog with exhausted energy. Yes, you listened right. My energy is exhausted, because of day long celebrations. As I told you in my last post, I celebrated today well. I went to Araku, Borra caves with my close friends. This is one of those days, which I will remember for many years. This is first time that I am celebrating my birth day, in fact in grand way.

Experience in Borra caves was quite exciting. we roamed all over the place and captured as many scenes as possible. Our Venki gave few innovative ideas and shot few different theme photographs.

Scenes around road while we traveling were amazing. we teased each other cracked jokes and shared useful information too.

Guys, really my energy is exhausted. I need to stop here and go to the bed.

Good night!!!

My bangalore trip and Dewali wishes

Hello All,

I wish you and your family Happy Dewali.

Let me start with my Bangalore trip. I visited Bangalore for first time, for that matter this is my second trip outside AP. Last time I went all the way to Allahabad to attend ARMY SSC second round selections and spend couple of days there. But those two days were in ARMY campus. I couldn't get a chance to see city. But I could manage to see TRIVENI SANGAMAM. It was a nice experience though I failed to clear that 5 days selection process. This time I went to meet my close friends& my brother in Bangalore. I spend good time there.

Kodali received me at Electronic city bus stop and took me to Satyam office there. He was playing cricket with his colleagues. I joined with them and played a match. Later we roamed office campus. It is similar to Hyderabad Bahudurpally office after that Tasty breakfast, lunch at KFC. We Visited Kempfort. It is really impressive. God SIVA’s 65.5 feet statue impressed me a lot. It is lively and awesome. We spend there about an hour. I can’t forget the lunch, we had in Kavitha’ house.

I impressed by Bangalore people self discipline in following traffic rules. I like their politeness and behavior. But for autowala, it is not different from Hyderabad. I would like to visit this city again, next time I want to extend my trip to Mysore as well.
Now I am in Dewali festival mood. I took leave for tomorrow, so I have four days to spend at home. I am very much eager to leave to my village. Hope you are also in same mood. Dewali is a festival which brings colors with it. I bet all children love this festival.
I like this festival for couple of reasons. One reason is that this festival is symbol of victory. Another one is kids will get in to action which is good to see and feel happy. One more reason is I too feel like kid. Don’t you?

November is my birth month. I don’t have the habit of celebrating birthday as a function. I used to go to temple in the morning that’s it. But since I join Satyam, my colleagues are arranging cake and celebrating as function. This time I want to celebrate it in a different and memorable way. Let me see how it goes this time !
May the festival of lights be the portent of joy and prosperity. As the holy occasion of Diwali is here and the atmosphere is filled with the spirit of mirth and love, I hope this festival of beauty brings your way, bright sparkles of contentment, that stay with you through the days ahead.

Let us celebrate this festival as eco friendly.

CHEERS TO ALL FRIENDS !!!

Hello friends!!! I wish a happy friendship week. This time it left me some good memories to cherish. I had good conversations with my close ones. Praveen, my 10th classmate called me after 10 years. I didn’t have interest or belief in celebrating such days till few days back. My perception was different. Why we need such days to celebrate, while we are chatting very frequently and have a good relationship. But later I realized the fact that small things can make a big difference and cause lot of happiness to our dear ones. These days are giving an opportunity to us to let people know how much we care for them and most importantly making them happy.
I am writing few inspiring lines about friendship that I read yesterday in book.


"స్నేహితుడంటే...... నవ మాసాలు మోయని తల్లి. రక్తం పంచని తండ్రి. వాట అడగని తోబుట్టువు.
బెత్తం పట్టుకొని గురువు.చుట్టరికం లేని బందువు.అక్షరాలకు అతీతమైన పుస్తకం. ఇంకా ఇంకా ... స్నేహం గురించి చెప్పటానికి ఎన్ని ఉపమానాలు అయినా తక్కువే. ఆ అనుబందం అన్ని బందాలకన్న బెత్తెడు ఎక్కువే."

I think above lines are very good description for friendship. Isn't it?

Many studies found that friendship is a good medicine for many diseases like High blood pressure, mental pressures, sleepless nights etc.,. If you are in situations like bad economic conditions or lost relatives then the role of a friend is invaluable.

In my view the person with millions of rupees is not rich, but person with very good friends is rich. So let us enjoy with friendship.

CHEERS TO ALL FRIENDS !!! ...More

Woman's day special

"Hats OFF" to one of the finest human race available on this earth i.e., women. She is the architect for the society, because mother has great role in transforming a child to man. Let me take this opportunity to write few lines about her on international woman's day.  

 I read few lines yesterday in Eenadu weekly book. those lines touched my heart, so I am presenting those here. I am writing as they are in the book in telugu to keep the intensity.

"అమ్మా! నీ కడుపుకు భోజనం కావలి. నీ శరీరానికి వ్యాయామం కావాలి. నీ కంటికి నిద్ర కావాలి. నీ గుండెకు శ్వాశ కావాలి. నీ మెదడుకు విశ్రాంతి కావాలి. ఇవన్ని అత్యవసరం. నిజమే, కొన్ని సార్లు మూడే రొట్టెలు ఉంటాయి. నీతో కలిపి నలుగురు ఉంటారు.అలాంటి అప్పుడు ' ఆకలి లేదు అనొద్దు ప్లీజ్! ఉన్న రొట్టేన్లె నాలుగు బాగాలు చెయ్. దీనివల్ల నలుగురి కడుపు నిందకపోవచ్చు.కానీ, నలుగురి ఆకలి తీరుతుంది. నీక్కోడా రేపటి బాధ్యతలకు సరిపోయే సత్తువ సమకూరుతుంది.

ఒక్కమాట. నీలా ఆకలికి ప్రేమలు తెలియవు. చెంబేడు నీళ్ళు తాగి కడుపునిన్దిపోయిందని సర్డుకుపోవటం తెలియదు. ఆకలి నీలోని శక్తిని తినేస్తుంది. మెల్ల మెల్లగా నిన్నే మింగేస్తుంది.అప్పుడు నువ్వుండవు. నీ పిల్లలకు చందమామలాంటి గుండ్రటి రోట్టేముక్కలుండవు".

"నువ్వు కుటుంబమే ప్రపంచం అనుకొనే గృహినివి కావచు. ప్రపంచాన్నే గెలవాలనుకొనే కెరీర్ మహిళవు కావచు.ఎవరైతేనేం. అమ్మగానో, కార్పోరేట్ నారిగానో నీకంటూ కొన్ని లక్ష్యాలు ఉంటాయి. 

పిల్లలు, చదువులు, పెళ్ళిళ్ళు,....

ప్రమోషన్లు, వ్యాపారాలు, అంతర్జాతీయ గుర్తింపులు....

ఏం సాధించాలన్న నువ్వు ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండాలి. ఆర్ధరైటిస్ తో ఇబ్బందిపడుతూ కార్పోరేట్ నిచ్చెన ఎక్కలేవు.ఏమినీయతో బాధపడుతూ బర్తకి సేవలు చెయ్యలేవు. ఏ రాకాశి క్యాన్సర్ తోనో పోరాడుతూ నీ పిల్లల ఎదుగుదల సంపూర్ణంగా చూడలేవు.నీ కోసం, నీ లక్ష్యాల కోసం అయినా ఆరోగ్యంగా జీవించు. ఆరోగ్యాన్ని ప్రేమించు"

I am thankful to my mother, who gave me birth.without her, I wouldn't be here on this planet. I know thanks is not a sufficient word to show my gratitude but I left with no words in my dictionary of words.

My special thanks to my lady friends and all other women, who are instrumental in shaping of my personality.  

Yours,

Anil 

Mixed emotions!!!

Hello everybody! Hope every body doing good. I took little bit of time to write this post, because of tight schedules. This time I was busy with my personal engagements, not with professional things. who doesn't love to be busy with personal commitments? 

I love January, because it brings biggest festival  "SANKRANTHI". I love sankranthi for many reasons.It brings full energy and colors to our villages. People who left villages for jobs, Business etc., will come to village for this festival. So it is giving us the opportunity to meet everybody. 

This January gave me double dose of happiness. Obviously one reason was festival season, another one was one of my close friends got married. we went there one day in advance with our B.Tech gang. We enjoyed a lot. Loads of fun, masti was there. "Wish you happy married life Venki".

February also important month for me. I started my professional carrier in this month only. So every year I am celebrating my service anniversary in this month. This year Feb left me with mixed feelings.I took my hiked salary. But my father got transferred from Ongole.we have spent 10 years in Ongole. So it is mixed reaction for me.It is very heartening, when I think of leaving my friends. other side I am feeling happy, because we are moving to our native village.

I am signing off with these mixed reactions.

Yours,

Anil
