What Destiny has in store for me???

Hi to myself and all... Its been a long gap since I pen down my last post.. Actually, there was nothing much or interested happened in life to put on words. Then you can ask me what made me to write today? that's a good question. It started like this... as usual today (Saturday, so people used to spend their wages on clubs and restaurants) was pretty busy going at Domino's till half nine, then there was a slog... Deyan (Manager) started sending people home... Me and Waheeda (new friend of mine) were busy discussing about in store people. As the conversation goes long, another good friend of mine Dr. Mahesh has also joined hands with us. You may wonder what doctor is doing at Domino's or am I misspelt him as doctor. Certainly, the word doctor made me to write today. When I introduce Mahesh to Waheeda, who is new to our store, I addressed him as doctor, as he is. Then we started talking about our destiny. There hits my mind.. What's my destiny will be? or what it has in store for me? So, I thought of writing about my own unknown destiny here. It remains as an undefined mystery yet. After having a good high class education at alien land, struggling to pick up one good, professional job and thinking of a terrible surgery back home few months ago.. my natal chart seriously looks horrible for me for almost an year till now.. I am afraid that all the planets are going in Brownian Motion as stated by Robert Brown (a Scottish Botanist) ages back. What is the purpose of my life? Why am I here? There is no answer for me to these questions. I always used to say PASS to these sort of issues, when ever it hit my mind millions times before and eat my mind like an anxiety disorder. But now, its a high time for me to take some necessary action to put all my planets together aligned at one place and make a proper movement. Things will always seem to be so complicated when it happens and we may feel nervous or in dilemma to take good decision while it is happening or going through.. but later, the same thing was seem to be so simple after it has happened, whether the end product will be an innovative creation or may be a most disastrous crap. Like that I don't really know what decision am I going to take for my life's progress right at the moment. Hopefully I should not regret for what I am doing now, keeping my fingers crossed for an unopened chapter of my life. As I was scribbling this at twelve in the midnight, my mom was calling from India (it was half five in the morning... as they are in the other pole of the earth, the sun used to come out so early to wake up the people from their bed, which never comes on time here at so called ENGLAND and people here used to take much pride to describe this as British Weather) to say that, an important star (which is responsible for job & good health) on my birth chart is migrating from one place to other, so that he can do some favour for me to put every thing straight and makes me more focussed on my profession. After hearing this, how could one be there by not believing in his own natus or destiny? Wish and hope that, my natus will have loads of good in store for me and for all my friends either :):):)

Kitty Trip to Oxford!!!

Almost after a year and a half, Kitson had been back to Oxford. It was a wonderful day fun filled not only with him, but also with another friend of mine, my UG college mate Dhanvanth. Kitson and Dhanvanth had brought one more friend of them, Swathi. She is very cute, short and photoholic.. She is like men in disguise. Has all the traits of a typical girl but projects everything in a guy's manner. It was the first time I met her day before yesterday. At first we had a generic type of greets and regards shared among us (with little hesitance) and we had a nice lunch prepared by (Of course) me. Later, as the time goes the little barrier between us has gone without notice. We were like good old friends as Kitty and Dhanu. Its very odd for me to get attached to any acquittance in a short span of time. It happened with very few before. She is also one of such kind. Here I must mention that she has a very immense talent of describing a story. She is a good narrator and she is in damn wrong study course. If Mr. Mani Ratnam's fate is good, then he will surely pick her up as his assistant. I think this is fairly enough to please her. Any reward for this post can be generously shared by Dhanu & Kitty. I, with my consent knowledge giving them my share of gratitude for getting me introduced to her. First our plan was to visit the nearby Blenheim Palace, since we were running short of time, we cancelled and were roaming on the streets of Oxford. Then we thought of punting. Starting by 6 pm, along the bank of river Thames, we four of us had hired a peddling boat, in which Dhanvanth was a Captain who has the steering power on his left hand and an useless (sorry, nothing to offend any one here in person with intention) sight seeing creature on his right. Actually, its not like she didn't put any effort to move the boat, unfortunately she can't reach the peddle of the boat. If it was a luxury cruise with movable seat, then I am damn sure that she alone enough to peddle it for the whole enjoyable evening. Anyway, as the Britain's weather was very graceful on us and the Sun that never goes behind the clouds to take rest, we had a great photo shoot and made few clashes with our fellow boat mates. Meanwhile, Swathi was obsessed on admiring a professional roarer and Dhanu has discovered a new age Tarzan, who was roaring a boat for his lady love. After an hour, our punt returned safe to the place where it was taken without any damage. Next spot was Oxford castle, where we spent some lovely time chatting, pulling Swathi's leg, got punished and totally exhausted for a day. Now its a time for dinner, looking for almost all the Indian eat outs in Oxford and finally entered into Kebab Kid. Had a relishing supper where Kitty was forgiven for all his pranks he played on that day. Returned to home by half eleven, since Dhanvanth was very tired and sleepy, they planned to stay here overnight and start by early morning next day. After deciding to stay back, we were cherishing our old memories and become a gossip mongers till early morning three O'clock. They started by seven after few hours of sleep, only because she had an interview for part time by afternoon. On the whole it was a lovely day, spent nicely and remembered deeply forever!!!

Simply a Great Day!!!!

Today I've been blessed with the Balaji's Divya Dharshanam & the great music legend, Thiru. Bala Murali Krishna's concert @ Birmingham. I must thank my friend & professor Dr. ANANYA, for this surprise visit and also I owe my kind gratitude to Mr. SRIDHAR & Mrs. LATHA SRIDHAR, for taking us to this divine place. One more person I must mention here is Ms. BHUVANA, who has spent her birthday gracefully on this providential occasion. The following are the summary of today's visit. We have started from Oxford by half four in the evening and reached Birmingham temple in two hours. It was an one hour concert, started by 7 pm. Although, he had sung "Oru Naal Podhuma, naan paada oru naal podhuma" (Shall one day is enough for me to sing...) in Tamil on his early days, unfortunately, today he was restricted to only one hour for just two songs to sing. However, all the invites were blessed to hear at least two of his own compositions tonight. Though, the concert was merely a greek & latin for me (because he sang in Telugu, his mother tongue), still I enjoyed to my fullest. Thats why, I agree when people say music doesn't have any language barrier. I admired the music knowledge and passion of Mr & Mrs Sridhar. The time we spent together may be less, but we shared many things. Many things we have discussed today were from psychology to cinema and from carnatic music to ancient civilization & their construction. I think it was a pretty informative talk and issues rather than a normal chatter. After dinner at McD, we again started from there by half nine and reached Oxford by eleven 'o clock without any unexpected delay in the motor way. Then we dropped Bhuvana, just opposite to her house and the rest of my fellow mates have come all the way to barton from headington to drop me at my door step. That makes a complete as well as a perfect evening for me, certainly for others too, I believe. Today, I really felt I've gone to a different world. Once again I thank all of my fellow mates for making this day, a very wonderful and memorable day for me forever!!! And I hope we will make another trip as like today in the near future :)

Weather Changes!!!

I have been woken up today by the cold breeze of lovely mother nature. All of the sudden, again the weather changes. Rain starts from today. There has been a prediction that this week would have the power rain storms and gloomy weather. Again the UK back to its form with its own cold, chill climate. That must be depressing, because every day ends by four or half past three in the early evening. Hereafter, it will take an extra couple of minutes to get ready for going out. We need to change to all knit wears and woolen fabrics. All the shops at city centre would have an end clearance sale for this summer. The entire scenario will change as the weather changes. But irrespective of the changes that goes on, life has to move. Thats makes the life more interesting. Meeting new people, new goal, new perspective towards life etc.. Things seem to be wrong today will change into right tomorrow, I used to wonder often its because of the mind or the time which is the cause for the difference. There is nothing in the life called good & bad, do & don't or right or wrong exists!!! If it favours our need then its called gud & right, otherwise its bad &wrong. But I could also say that unless your action, words or even thought which doesn't bother your fellow mate, then what ever you do is right. I ultimately believe in this point and some times keep arguing myself by thinking about this issue. Why the human life is so complicated? Or is it the life or the mind which is the origin of this sort of complications. I never got a right answer to this question till now which might have hit my mind more than few hundred times only after coming to UK. I also used to wonder, is it the mental maturity to think like that or an atmospheric condition, an external influence (the depressing weather...) which makes my mind to think about this unwanted issues.. At the end of the day, I realized that the human mind always tend to think like this if it is wandering lonely!!!

Most hottest day of this year 2010...

Today is predicted to be the most hottest day of this year 2010 at Oxford i.e. 30 Degrees. Its so hot, wandering in the summer would be a worst idea. I never felt that Oxford can be this hotter ever! Apart from this, every day starts even by four in the morning and the sun sets only by half ten in the night. To my goodness, its better to stay in Trichy rather than being here. At least there the people are blessed with fan, AC etc... Ironically, here all but one with the heaters.. grrr! No way to escape from the hot waves spitting element so called "SUN". Indian tropical weather is much better than this, because where in India, it used to sweat and the body potential to withstand the heat can be replenished by drinking energy liquids. Where as here, there is no sweat come out of your body and the hot rays were more fierce to make you dry as much as it can. The sun screen lotions, coolers and half dress are the driving elements used by public to move on. With out these, one cannot expect to go out of the house. But it all will last only till July, then again the winter starts. Back to warmer, heater, Jerkin and Jackets...

Cambridge Trip!!!

In a next few days, I went to Cambridge along with Merrila, Saranya and Sathish. It was a one day trip and all went well, expect the unexpected road delay. Usually, it take three and a quarter hours to reach Cambridge from Oxford. But on that day, for heaven sake, it took double the hours, almost six hours to reach there. It was fun on the coach, Merrila was the one who used the lavatory to the most. But I should not blame the driver, because he tried many short routes to reach fast, still he was stuck up some where in the middle of the Traffic. For that he apologized to all, which I really appreciate. Later the noon, we have reached Cambridge, but was expected to be there in the morning. After lunch at a small kebab shop, went to tourist info to have a better insight of Cambridge whereabouts. Then decided to visit all the museum (actually, free entry thatsy!!!) instead of taking a city sightseeing bus which is 13 pounds for each person. Among the three museum visited, I enjoyed the zoological museum the most, though visiting museum is actually not my cup of coffee! Then decided for punting, but we were once again stuck with the disappointment, because there was no self pedalling boat available. Its again 16 pound each for a punt and we have to carry a men to row. Its very expensive. To be more economical, spent some time on the river side, had nice break for long continuous walk and fresh air to breath, took some more pics and started to next place. After that we were tired to walk any longer, but for the sake of exploring went into the city centre shopping mall and clicked few pics, where taking photos are prohibited. In the middle of the photo session, Sathish was interrupted by a security and told not to take pics over here. Then we said sorry for the ignorance and left the mall silently. It was around 5 pm, so exhausted by walking around the city, went to Mc Donald's for a drink break to refill our hard thirsty and started to Oxford by half six and reached here exactly by quarter past ten. Now the day ends with a perfect journey and cherishing memories to preserve for ever!!!

Meet and Greet!!!

Last week full of greetings and regards from my Oxford friends! Almost I have updated every one that I am back... My graduate friend Saranya, came to pick me up from the airport. From Heathrow to Oxford, she was narrating all the events and exciting moments which I missed while I was away. Reached my home sweet home. Later, the day took some rest and started to sort out the piled up works. Next few days were gone to meet those buddies who were waiting for my arrival. Met my work place colleagues and university friends, had good time. Still few are missing, have to link up with them. Many of my friends have relocated and conveyed their regards over mobile and FB. I am very glad to see all my friends again and it was fun moving with them. End of the week, I have been to most historic place of Oxford, the Ashmolean Museum with Merrila, Prajitha & one more friend of Meri. Later that night, me, my house mates and my Land lady & her son had gone for the buffet dinner at First Floor Restaurant in Cowley. There was Indian, Thai and Chinese cuisines were served with sweet desert. We had a wonderful time together after my return. I personally had a warm welcome back from all my friends here at Oxford. Thats how my whole first week at Oxford had gone!!! Next comes is the Cambridge trip!
