I was getting bored in home without goin out for more than 4 months..n 1 day i got a call 4m mah school frns- vatsa,vineeth n vinay 4 a trip !!..After a bit of hesitation i agreed

We had planned for last weekend of Oct 2010..Even-though all buses were full, Vineeth had booked seats in KSRTC bus but it was a nightmare sitting in last row seats ..It was not Vineeth’s fault as we had decided for the trip @ the last moment.

DAY 1

We reached Kollur @ 8.30 am n took a bus to Nittur which is around 20kms from there.We reached @ 9.45am..Rajendra came there n we ordered tents for rent and started our trekk @ 10 am.

We had chosen the difficult route among the 3- HIDLUMANE FALLS route as we had thought of getting fresh in the falls..We walked thru the roads,forests,again roads for a long time n reached the HIDLUMANE FALLS @ 12.30..Vineeth had left us back n had reached sooner..me, vatsa n vinay had reached there after scolding vineeth hell no of times !!

Do look after for the leeches around.Luckily we din find many.Salt is a gud remedy for leeches..

We had a gud bath in there n started our REAL trekk @ 2 pm..I say u really need a loads n loads of stamina 2 trekk in dis route as its very steeper n difficult..

Again Vineeth was leading us n went off invisible soon …Vatsa n me struggled a lot 2 climb but reached the PWD Guest House @ 6 wit the motivation of Vinay! (Vinay was motivated by a Davangere team!!)

Sunset point is around an hour from PWD..There is place called SARVAGNA PEETA n its said that it is the place where SRI SHANKARACHARYA meditated..but for our bad luck we cud’n go there as our energy was fully down..Vineeth went half the way n came back.

Vinay challenged us n tried for campfire but it went in vain as the place was too windy…Arabian Sea is visible from dis place..We enjoyed the scenery til 8.30 pm n slept in our tents. Forgot 2 mention-we were dazzled by a beauty b4 we went 2 bed !

DAY 2

We got up @ 6 am, clicked sum pics n left @ 7.30 am..Vatsa was too tired n was opting to hire the jeep but we all convinced him saying we ll reach down in half an hour n came to Karkatte gate @ 10.45 am..!!..We got into a Hosnagara Bus @ 11.30 n reached there by 1.15 pm..

Vinay called up his very gud frn-SUHAS there n he took us 2 a lodge where we had a bath n a very gud spicy food..We left Hosanagara @ 4.15 n came to Bengaluru via Sagara the next day @ 5 in the mornin !

An advice to people who r intending to go- Plz save the nature,dun pollute it with plastics, cigarettes, liquors, etc..

Ah man !..i got my cell back!!..

Dis was the 1st word uttered 4m my mouth wen i got it back !

Thinkin, why im sayin dis?..

It was a normal day til i got into the same old class of mine!! ..Sumthin special was waitin 4 me,but i cud’n smell it !!

It was 8.45..I was sittin in 1 of the borin classes n dat too in 1st bench !! ..was feelin very sleepy So started chattin wit mah gud old frn who was sittin nxt 2 me..within few mins lecturer caught me..He adopted the same,old,school rule,made me get up 4m thr n changed mah place… Sitting in the new place i started searchin 4 mah cell…Whrz it?..It was not thr, had left in the other place!! ..Now i had nobody 2 chat with,nor i had a cel 2 play wit it !!

I cud not resist anymore..so asked mah frnz 2 pass mah cell 2 me…It was caught by the lecturer wen it was on the way !!

Wat can i say now?…He started screwing me…belted me black n blue …After the class i followed him,i xplained him dat i was not using it n frnz were jus passing 2 me…

Sir…sir..plz sir..sry sir..plz give it back sir…i was not using it..n wil never use it in class…plz sir ( same old dailogues which all say wen they get caught !! )

He told me 2 meet in short break..but wen i met him,he had a diff story..He told,he knew i was not using the cell but he had already given it princi…!!(bloody hell)… At the same tym, mah cell was vibrating in his pocket ! ..but he refused 2 give it n told me 2 cum back @ 1.30..& at 1.30,mahurat was postponed to 2.30

I went back @ 2.30..he had a new reason now !! – princi is busy in some meeting, so u ll get back cell tommorow…. !!

I knew he was lying as the princi not in the coll itself n morever mah cell was with him only !!

Having no other choice,i came back home…actually i was feelin free !!!…no disturbance of those msgs,calls…in the nite, i slept an hour b4 !!..

But sumthin struck in mah mind - wat if sir use mah cell?…chk the inbox?…!!

Next day

I was bit afraid of the fine i should pay 2 him !!

I attended the classes til the short break n went 2 him @ 10.30..

Wat a shock!! ..b4 i opend my mouth, he gave it back !! God bless him

I cud’n express mah joy thr !!

Ah man !..i got cell my back !!

FYI- Dis was not the 1st time,i was caught using cell in the 1st year too

Thr was bit of stampede…but everythin was clear wen v occupied the chairs..but nobody had enuf patience 2 sit n wait..!!!

Raghu practised thr 4 a while n left the place… The most memorable moment came @ 8 p.m..he came up,b4 startin the song HEY BHAGWAN,he said “It’s all about asking God to give us a second chance.”..The song was too gud n we needed 2nd tym….his interaction btw us was superb…he made al the lectuerers,parents,vip’s stand up n dance 2 his songs !!

His songs continued wit bit of his history in between…Raghu went on to sing songs like the popular Ninna Poojege Bande Maadeshwara, Mysore Se Aayi Woh, Bhagawan Mujko Sunn, Noodu Noodiya and Amber Ke Dil Mein,ee thanavu ninnadhe…n a new song 4m the next album

eno idhe eno idhe ee preethi li eno idhe !!!

LOVE

Hearing the word “LOVE”,most of them gets excited !! ….Some say LOVE is the best thing in the world n some say its the worst thing in the world But i’m in a dilemma coz of the zero experience !!

One of mah favorite quotes about LOVE is

“WOUNDED KNEES ARE BETTER THAN BROKEN HEARTS ” !!

Think about it once again.When we were kids,we were eager to grow up to avoid wounded knees.But by now,we ll be in an opinion that WOUNDED KNEES ARE BETTER THAN BROKEN HEARTS,why is it so?

LOVE is jus like a mirror.If u laugh @ it,it laughs @ u..If u cry @ it,it cries @ u..

If u LOVE someone,then neva loose a grip on them,coz u neva know the one u let 2 go might be the 1 u hav waited all ur life !!

All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart,
And for us to be together, to never be apart.

No one else in the world can even compare,
You’re perfect and so is this love that we share.

We have so much more than I ever thought we would,
I love you more than I ever thought I could.

I promise to give you all I have to give,
I’ll do anything for you as long as I live.

In your eyes I see our present, our future and past,
By the way you look at me I know we will last.

I hope that one day you’ll come to realize,
How perfect you are when seen through my eyes.

Many say that frnship is the 1st step to LOVE,but every frnship cannot be converted into LOVE n dis is the main reason for many broken frnships

Many feel that thr frnship wit thr opp sex (or sumtyms the same !! )is LOVE n they spoil thr frnship

Acc to my survey!, more than 50% of the frnships are broken coz of these misunderstandings !

Why do people FALL IN LOVE?..

Why do they forget other frns ,thr close frns,wen they are in LOVE?

Is LOVE greater than FRNSHIP?

Why people who FALL IN LOVE be in thr own world?

Why do parents go against thr sons/daughters LOVE?…

Why do they feel that arrange marriage is better than LOVE marriage?

Is LOVE a crime?

Who can answer these questions?…any1 plz?

Before getting committed,all say frnship is life.They eat,walk,go out,play with frns.But after gettin commited,y do they 4get frns?…y is it?..can any1 justify?

Why cant we LOVE our frns as frns only?..Is it necessary to be commited?..Is it the only life we can live?..

If i continue writin more,i can write a book!! ..Hence me ending the topic with a small suggestion.

PALZ,IF U FALL IN LOVE PLZ DON’T 4GET UR FRNS,FAMILY,etc…

coz

” LOVE SHOULD BE A PART OF LIFE,NOT THE HEART OF LIFE !! “

Hello guys,now its time to have a serious talk !!…n hope u take this topic seroius

below are the gr8 words,but not by me for a change!! ..its by our Dr.A.P.J ABDUL KALAM

just check out ..

• Why is the media here so negative?

• Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?

We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories,but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

• We are the first in milk production.

• We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.

• We are the second largest producer of wheat.

• We are the second largest producer of rice.

I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments,deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.

• In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE?

• Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.

Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance?

“India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation”.

Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.

• YOU say that our government is inefficient.

• YOU say that our laws are too old.

• YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.

• YOU say that the phones don’t work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.

• YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

• YOU say, say and say. WAHT DO ‘YOU’ DO ABOUT IT?
  

Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name – ‘YOURS’. Give him a face – ‘YOURS’. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best.

In Singapore you don’t throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity…In Singapore you don’t say anything.

DO YOU? YOU wouldn’t dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.

YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, ’see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.

YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, ‘Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so’s
son. Take your two bucks and get lost.

YOU wouldn’t chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand .

Why don’t YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ?

Why don’t YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ???

We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?.

In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan .

Will the Indian citizen do that here?’ He’s right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.

We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to doeverything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative.

We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.

We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.

When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? ‘It’s the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons’ rights to a dowry.’

• So who’s going to change the system?

• What does a system consist of?

Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us
actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.

“Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to
be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system.Our conscience is mortgaged to money.”

Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a
great deal of introspection and pricks one’s conscience too…. I am
echoing J. F. Kennedy’s words to his fellow Americans to relate to
Indians…..

‘ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA
WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY’

wheneva i hear about TERRORISM,i feel lik i should hav joined NSG-National Security Gaurd.It would hav been a gr8 job being a NSG commando.I can feel the happiness building up in me by killing those devils in the human masks !!! :O
