tragedy of my mobile :(

I am a mobile lover. Because of my passion in having different mobiles, I changed four mobiles in my four years of B.E. While purchasing mobiles, generally I go for slim despite sturdy ones at the same time I cannot afford huge money on them too. Recently, I have bought a new Nokia 5220 Xpress Music (and yeah, its my 5th mobile for 8K) from a Hotspot Mobile store in Bangalore. Due to my long chattings and late night calls, its speaker has got spoiled in less than a week period :( :(... So, I could not bear this anymore, my mobile sickness disturbed me.I thought that it is of no use spending days worrying for a tiny stupid speaker and then somehow I fetched the address of Nokia Care center, went there and from then onwards, it's working completely.., pretty cool.

For next two weeks, the routine thing happened....I began using it badly speaking too many hours but, on an Awesome day, we went to a trip, there I dropped and left in water for 1-2 hrs approximately :P. This was my mistake, I was totally in high spirits that day which made me to forget to put it in my bag and instead I had taken with me into water. Later, I found it has lost the display and I gave it in an extraordinary service center :P. They took good care of it :P, they also stole mike from the mobile, they cheated and returned me. (innocent me :(...) I could not realise their bloody intelligence, I never had a thought that people commit such thefts, people are fraud, they steal and sell such things and so I did not look back, and I also gave 650 bucks to that fellow and instead I was very happy with their work at that moment. The next minute when I went back to my home, I sensed that again it's mike is not working...Ahh, god!!!its pathetic........I ran to that service center, and when I asked him what had happened to my mobile..??,

He simply said..."we are not at all responsible for the manufacturing stuff, we just did chemical wash and that's it...!! one more thing: in future you may face many more problems like....Ringer can get damaged, key pad can get disabled and so on..." I was helpless and showed my anger on him by scolding..."Are you crazy??Enough, take this mobile, take all parts from this..., this is a customer service center and If you are unable to satisfy the customers.., what's the need, why are you here??don't call it service center any more...". After going back from there, he sent a message to me as if I am crying, as if he is not responsible for any thing and as if he is my boy friend..."Sorry Miss.., don't cry.., ur mobile is good and you are fortunate enough...as it's display has not yet damaged, Enjoy it using headset."

Thus, I decided that it is better to give it in company's care center where I got its speakers back, I went there asking to change the mike of the set. I became a daily customer to that shop. After checking it, the guy told me that it at least takes twenty days to get repaired as they have to send it to Nokia headquarters. I actually had no ample time to wait as I was shifted to Pune, and so, I left it like that and I am still managing and enjoying it using my head set. The only tragedy is it is not even a month, its pretty new mobile, still it has been suffering from many problems. I pray God to save my Mobile's life and in soon I could see it in a sound position.

Bubye Bangalore!!

B-Best
B-Bench
B-Bangalore
B-Bye!!



I love everything about this city Bangalore except the traffic, and I am sure that 90% of software employees prefer Bangalore as a best place to work for and talking about City- It would have been better if it is named as Mall City instead of Garden city. I love all the malls, Ccd's, McDonald's, KFCs, and what not?? Now, I have to leave this place, as I have been shifted to Pune. Though I stayed here for only 35 days and putting aside a few bitter experiences, I cannot afford to forget this place which had left me many sweet memories and it's the time to take farewell from all my wingies and loved ones :( :(

I love you and I miss you Bangalore!!!

height of stupidity!!

I don't know how to define stupidity and what it means exactly, but it's one of my mightiest possession I can say. You cannot dare to imagine, just because of this stupid characteristic, some guys have skipped their hearts, a few have fallen in love with me :P, a few had a great impression on me :P and of course one or two detest me as well. I want to share this incident that happened recently and with this, I hope you will love to be stupid and stupids like me will be proud of foolishness :P(just kidding). Before starting I would like to give a little introduction about my job. I am working in a MNC which has certain rules and regulations, which throws people and which also seeks for a reason to fire people.

1. Left my Id card: I had to have my hair cut as I don't like to have big hair. So I decided and went to a saloon which is nearby to my home and because of power cut there, I left my id card over there, went back to home and chatted with roommates happily.

2. Applying for new id: And the next day, I realized that I forgot it somewhere, so I told security people that I have lost it, thinking that they will allow me inside. In the mean while I thought that I will loose it one day and it's better to always have a copy with me. Coming back to security, instead of allowing me, they made me to wait almost 3 hrs and asked me to take permissions from RM(reporting manager), unit HR, LM(Location Manager). Adding to that, I had enough scoldings from some stupids in my office and anyways I finally had to apply for a new i-card...

3. Got my old card back: this is a real mystery, I somehow got my old card with the help of my loving friend "Sri" and so, I thought I would cancel my request as they will deduct few bucks from my salary for new card. My innocence and smartness imposed me to go to one of the managers for asking him to cancel my request. There, he advised me to take new card because they had cut all access to my old card and he also asked me to return that old card. There, I begged and argued that I cannot return the old card and asked him simply what will happen if it is with me anyways it's not having any access now. He called his senior who warned me badly to keep only one card with me and have taken back my old card and issued some stupid temporary pass. :( :(

4. New card: I also got a mail from ID card help desk asking me to submit scanned copies of my latest photo and signature in order to get new card as early as possible. I was vexed with all these waste formalities and somehow ended up submitting whatever they asked successfully. After a couple of days, I got my new i-card back.

huh....it's not yet over.., the tragedy of this story is I have lost Rs.200/- for new id card (actually my salary for this month is -200 :( :( ..., that's an other story), I also have to give my old card (I am sentimental towards my first i-card :P) and yeah.., I was noticed by a new idiot, who scolds and comments me badly everyday for no reason. I know people like me are still not getting adopted to these hell rules in companies and are been under many small small or big big hurdles. But I suggest you all to enjoy each and every situation, as we all are least worried about the professional lives. :) :) Live life to the max, no compromises!!!

so, isn't it the height of stupidity?? :P :P

waterfalls!!!an Awesome day!!

After all these monotonous working days, last weekend, me, Sridevi, Srikar, Shalini and Anji planned for a one day trip to Shivasamudram (its a worth visiting place for all the nature lovers). This was 125kms away from Bangalore and as far as I know, it is the second largest waterfalls in India and sixteenth largest waterfalls in the world. Though I was badly reluctant to get up early in the morning, Sri imposed me to take bath and get ready by 20 minutes and yeah, all this was a pretty planned trip as we started at sharp 7.15 A.M from BTM and thus we are just proud of our punctuality. We booked a Cab from our home and within an hour we reached Maddur where we had delicious breakfast in a Karnataka style restaurant. And after that, we started playing games, listening as well as singing to songs, commenting on each other and had a great fun. Then, we reached Shivasamudram at around 11.30 A.M.

Actually there are two waterfalls by which Shivasamudram is segmented into left and right.., the first and left one is "Gaganchukki" . This was just stupendous. The sound, the view, the water made us serenely quiet. We spend some time by taking snaps and gossipping on. And then, there is a cascading waterfalls, the right one named "Barachukki". I guess this is the apt season as their flow is pretty enormous and roaring. By seeing these amazing falls, all of us were thrilled and ran near to them, had a trip through a small boat that in turn tempted us to go and have a dip in it. We just broke the rules and cautions over there and completely drenched in the clean water with "Who cares" attitude :). The only tragedy caused by the lovely falls here is all of our mobiles stopped working as we forgot to put them aside and have taken them into water along with us, we had taken our mobiles with us. And a few applauds to Anji as he saved the lives of 2,3 fellows. There we started going back in the afternoon at 2.30 P.M. We were badly hungry and vexed.

On the way back to Bangalore, as we had ample time, we also decided to go to TALAKAD, a town surrounds with many interesting legends, I don't know much about its history but I came to know that it is famous for five Shiva temples and sand dunes from Shalini, as this naughty girl kept on slandering about the greatness of this place :P. We visited all the five temples, and here, Anji and Shalini were pretty interested in knowing about all the mysteries behind this place and so they took the help of a guide who speaks only in Kannada(he does not know either Telugu, Hindi or English) :P. They tried hardly in understanding his language even though both of them don't know Kannada, at the same time, Srikar was on phone, trying badly to explain his girl friend the beauty of these places, Sridevi was behind Anji and Shalini jotting a few points about the history as if there was a seminar :P, and yeah, I was busy in eating coconut and asking the guide some doubts in Kannada :P. We also had a small shopping and That's it. Then, it was 7.00 P.M, we started back to Bangalore with no more halts except at Mc.Donald's to have our dinner and reached home at 11.30 P.M.

It was the one and only trip in Bangalore which we are proud of for making it the most memorable and cherishable with our default enthu and thrill. And I suggest people in Bangalore to go and enjoy this sceneric natural beauty!!!

B'lore paani poori!!

Among all food items, foodies like me are fond of junk food. I don't know whether its hygienic or not, I consider it as the ultimate food. When ever I am feeling low or depressed, in order to get rid of that state, I just enjoy eating chaats or any other junk food. To top the list would always be Pani puri or golgappas or tikkias, .. however you call it, the ultimate street food I believe. When I recall my bitsian days, we used to have a jaunt to Noothan by bicycles which was quite a few metres away from my hostel, we would spend that evening by eating golgappas, aloo tikka, and we used to have a great masthi over there. And when I recall my days at STC,hyd...this might sound insane but almost on every weekend or of course on some alternate weekdays we used to go out to Anand theatre (exactly in front of that theatre, there is a pani puri wala), in Begumpet for having golgappas.I love eating there and now, yeah I miss it.

Though Bangalore is famous for its own food items like Idly, Dosa, Vada, rotti etc., I am fortunate enough to see a lot many pani puri wala's in the city. But I had golgappas rarely in bangalore why because here, these people mix onions in the chaat masala and thus, I don't feel like tasting it.Yesterday when I went for giving my cell in Nokia care, he said that he would take some time to get it repaired and asked me to come back. So, we thought of wandering for couple of minutes, we found Bake magic near ICICI bank and went in, there pani puri looked really yummie, I could not control myself and (yeah why should I, anyways) tempted badly and had there..I loved it. And finally now I got a place to have pani puri again, so I again continue my old style of having it everyday. :) :) Eat and Enjoy!!!!

Few Acknowledgements:

I would like to thank Sridevi for accompanying me to Bake magic yesterday and spending her precious time in having pani puri. I am grateful to the person who gave me pani puri in a clean and green plate. And finally I love myself for finding a paradise of panipuri (Bake magic).

What's Wrong??

Every day while leaving office, we (I & Sridevi) have to catch either a bus or a cab to our home which is located near BTM reliance fresh. As our office is in electronic city and its been an extremely busy zone, there are mostly heavy vehicles carrying spare parts & materials, a 20-seated bus jam packed with some 200 people in it, there are no zebra crossings or signals which makes it all the more horrible to walk to reach forth.

One fine day, as usual, we somehow managed to cross the road and we stood waiting for the stupid 600 BUS. There, we must have looked like tiny specks in front of those huge good carriers and vehicles., a Cab stopped right before us. I was wondering if he had a change of mind and was going to turn or do something else. I looked up the vehicle to see the driver's face through the glass window. He was waiting there and gesturing me to walk on. I stood for an instant, puzzled, then with a grateful smile on my face (thinking that he will say “No”) and asked him “Bhaiyya, BTM??” To my surprise, he welcomed us into his cab, he did not let any others inside, he did not halt it even a single time also, he played cool and lovely songs from Gangster as well…, and yeah, at that time, I got a call from my boy friend….the conversation was….

Cherry: Madhu, are you busy???

Me: nothing, I just got into Cab and I am on the way to my home..

Cherry: Are you crazy??Don’t go by cabs in the evening times, you never know…what happens and you are new to this city "Bangalore"…so, going by cabs especially for girls...it not safe and secure!!!any how…I suppose…, you are half intelligent.., you would have a company of few more guys with you…

Me: I just shut my mouth and I didn’t speak a word….I am sorry yaar…I am alone..sorry again, we are alone!!

Cherry: Oopz….Who are “we”??

Me: please don’t make me scared….here “We= myself and Sri”

Cherry: (oh..this girl is stupid again, every time here and then, she will come up with a new hurdle).Okay, don’t you worry…Did you see the Cab num or something???
Me: I cannot ask him to stop and it looks awkward if I get down and go for jotting his cab number. :P

Cherry: hmm enough of sarcasm…don’t be scared and don’t be stupid any more…Take care dear….will catch you in couple of minutes.
[She is my girl…, at least she is good at escaping... :P ]

Me: haha,,.It’s just 5:45 PM…..nothing will happen… (God, help us…we both are lovely and poor :P :P).bubye…
(Forget about cherry, I am not talking about him..)

Then... why is there so much of mistrust or uncertainty among people. Everyone on the world is a stranger to one another. It looks like, it is not safer to trust a stranger than someone we have known over a considerable period of time. I am pathetic when it comes to judging people.., I somehow end up thinking that all are good and nice. Then, why do they create situations which threats a relationship?! We are social beings and there will be communication at certain levels. So, What’s wrong in having “Trust” on others???

Here, we reached BTM in around some 40 minutes. Thank god, he safely dropped us and adding to it, he refused taking money when I was trying to give him 50 bucks. We both were shocked and stood placid for few minutes and concluded that “The easier it is: to live in this world, though I am not sure what happiness or sadness..give all your love and affection to people and surely, they would not forget it..,”. In much simpler terms: “If you are nice to people.., definitely they will be nice and they treat you well in return…!!”. We smiled, thanked and said him “We love you, Bhaiyya!!” and thus we left.

Monday Morning ..!!

After a hectic scheduled and pretty busy weekend, here comes the beautiful day, MONDAY. Why does it have to be Monday again? Wasn’t it just Monday the other day or something???

I don't know why but I hate Monday from my childhood. Of course, People I know have complained // have been complaining the same thing - but MY Papa always says: Welcome a Monday morning with smile and pleasure. :P

My first words after getting up are "Monday should not be a working day Sri…What say??!!". Then her response was: "Maddy!!You told the same thing on Friday morning also :) :)". On the way to my office....When I was sitting in the cab and looking at the routine things, I was really surprised to hear some strange words from backies(people sitting back to me!!).."It’s the time of week again. This week should be a perfect. Well let’s follow some tips for the week” and you know there was a list that goes like...plan the week, listen to the past, aware of the news and blah!!

There, I started reacting at each tip. Think positive being an optimist.. :) :)

1. Plan your week: I guess planning the week may add excitement to the moodyMonday morning. And yeah, it triggers all the days in a week to “Busy” status.

2. Listen to the past: Actually I am not much into this, so I don’t have any idea about this tip.

3. Aware of the news: May be this tip is followed by many but I never do. That's another irrelevant thing.

I don’t want to follow any sort of this crap but I just want to create for myself a mindset about Mondays. Hope, next time I will come up with a wonderful medicine for a mighty Monday.
