"

we might have had few friends in school,

  by the time we come to college,

    they become child-hood friends...

we might have had lot of friends in college,

  by the time we finish college,

    they all become golden friends...

but we get lot more friends,

  as we start working in company,

    as tenure in a company is temporary so are they...

but as we go around the world,

  we still have few friends left,

    whom we call as very-close friends...

and they grow older just as us,

  their priority changes just as ours,

    they get busy with their personal life just like us...

and why the focus just on friends,

  why not the respectable relatives,

    most importantly our parents and family...

our relatives are always there to make occasions special,

  they are there when we want them and also when we don't,

   i think otherwise for our day to day life...

our life is nothing without our parents and family now,

  but our journey is little longer,

    as they have arrived here long before us...

by the way whats this all about,

  nothing too complicate or intricate,

    'just someone to talk with at later part of our life'...

by no means its so simple,

  neither it can be taken for granted,

    nor it can be ignored...

now we're too busy,

  too many things happening to us,

    too little we get time to think about that...

now we have all those persons,

  whoever we like to talk with,

    whenever and wherever we need to...

when all these running-around slows down,

  just walking alone in the roadside,

    makes us feel like your life is hell...

when no one is around to talk then,

  its scary to even think of that,

    a situation worse than nightmare...

we cant get adjusted so easily to new person then,

  just to avoid that situation then,

    'get married now'.

Belated Friendship Day Wishes to All... Thanks for all your wishes too... just was out-of-station... but, i spent this year Friendship Day with two of my most dearest friends of all time. Also, it would be unfair, if i dont mention and thank "201" (probably, i wuld call u with this number, than first alphabet), so, thank you very much and have fun always 201.

Also found a little quote/poem/message... i believe every sentence, every word in this is absolutely true. Enjoy It. Experience It. Be It.

A friend is someone who…

Is concerned with everything you do.
Is concerned with everything you think.
Calls upon during good time.
Calls upon during bad time.
Understands whatever you think.
Understands whatever you do.
Tells you the truth about yourself.
Knows what you are going through all time.
Refuses to listen the gossip about you.
Supports you all the time.
Does not compete with you.
Genuinely happy for you when things go well.

i don't really want a thermometer
for i can feel the freezing chill
right till my stomach

i don't really want a rain-gauge
for i can quench my thirst
with the dews in my mustache

i don't really want an anemometer
for my two tear drops
never reached my chin

What I really wanted is
for the first ever time
her hand to hold mine.....

The latest buzz word which i hear often these days is "busy". its either "i'm busy" or "i thought you're busy".

First, when will you say that you're busy? or how can you identify whether we're busy or not? My answer for that is plain and simple, when you haven't spoken with your friend for 'long time' (and the time-period for that 'long time' varies based on person to person). The reason for me to use 'friend', than any other relationship, is just because, you've the total freedom with friends, its neither a 'duty', which is the case with parents and relatives, nor 'mandatory', which is the case with your other-half or lover. you have the entire control over, when to talk to your friends, and also whom to talk, in that big list of friends. And all these absolutely out of your own personal INTEREST.

Well, just for a moment (tho i was observing about this one, for over some time, say about two months exactly ;) ), lets think of "how busy i'm?". In 24 hours, just remove 8 hours for sleep (and the time spent with your other-half), then 8 hours of work (this should be re-considered, but still lets have this 8hrs include chatting and moving along with other friends at work place.. but these days, this also includes lot of time of talking to your other-half or lover). So, remaining is a solid 8 hours, in which remove 4 hours for food and travel (roaming around or the time spent just for going one place to other). Then, 2 hours for 'duty' or 'mandatory' calls. After all these, we have 2 long hours daily, which is completely within our control, on how to spend that time. It may be for playing, reading, watching tv, etc, etc. But still, considering 2 hours daily, which accumulates to 14 hours a week (considering weekends also has a similar schedule, wherein instead of work, you spend in some other way, just as engaged as you're in work, so that you're not able to talk to your friend). Just wondering, in these 14 hours, cant we call our friend atleast once?? atleast say hi, hru, etc, etc??? ya ya. agreed to the fact that, you have pretty looong list of friends. but, i'm sure that, not all people are in the same level. We'll definitely have priorities for one over the other. So, cant we call atleast to them?? i think, WE CAN.

Finally, let me try to decode on, what makes us really 'busy' that we dont get time to call friends? (i hope you have read the mandatory above para, and hope you understood that we're really not busy) My answer to this question would be, just simply, because of lack of 'interest'. "Lack of Interest"!!!!!!! if you're wondering what that has to do with this, let me explain it little briefly. if you say someone as friend, there is something (or some quality) in them, which made you to be a friend with them. And also, you may have become friend accidently (not only love comes accidently, friendship too), but having an interest in talking to them, have kept that Friendship alive. So, Once that Interest gets affected, and it gets degraded, or if you have totally lost that interest, then You'll never ever get free time to call your 'friend', and you'll always be a busy bee to your friend. But, how does that 'interest' gets degraded or lost? I'll attribute this degradation to Two main things:

First and Foremost one is, "EXPECTATION"s. This is one big thing, and is the major cause for this degradation. We expect our friend to behave/react in someway, and our expectations are not met. degradation does not start immediately. once the disappointments gets accumulated, it slowly eats away all our interest in talking to the Friend. Also, there is another scenario, wherein, we expect our Friend to call us, and in the same way, our Friend wants us to initiate the conversation (basically, the so-called EGO, hidden shadow in each one of us). Ultimately, this tug-off-war continues, for ever and ever and ever. And one more thing is that, we expect or rather, we think that other person is busy and your friend thinks you're busy. here too there's a deadlock. i don't think your friend will ever get disturbed by your Hi. so, never wait for the other person, just go ahead and say Hi. (for all of you, a BIG 'Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii')

Second one is, our Friend's "ACTION"s. This is when, the other person does something, when we have no expectations, but that action somehow makes us feel little bad/sad. The one common thing which we can find in most of the person is, Talk with Friend ONLY when we need a favor from him/her. And when you realize that, the person you think as a Friend, talks to you only when she/he needs something to be done by you, it really makes a huge crater in that "Interest". you wont feel like talking to that person, with the same interest which you had previously before realizing that fact. And also, when you realize that the other person talks to you, just for the sake of talking, which otherwise will make a not-so-good name for him/her, not with any interest in talking. Though these actions from the other person reduces your interest in talking to him/her, in both the cases, its you who have to decide the next course of actions. There is this one other kind, called "Indirect Action", wherein, we just conclude that the other person is not interested, indirectly. examples may be, like not picking calls, no replies for 'many' msgs, or prepared for not talking to you, etc, etc. all these indirectly means the same. tho this may be temporary, it still makes considerable impact in the interest factor.

Whatever the reasons are, the point i want to make here is, Its just that Interest, which keeps the conversation going on, which fuels and keeps Friendship alive. So, never let anything to affect that little interest. And once that interest is always there, You'll definitely feel that, "I'M NOT AT ALL BUSY"

however you spell it, it always sounds the same. and its all about the sound and sound only. its those sounds, when its pleasing to your sensors, it turns out to be music. to know how pleasant it is, you need to hear it, experience it. it really does more magic, than just pleasing you and just helping you to pass-on your high valued time. it takes your breath away from you. one big advantage of this is, it acts as a virtual companion to you. that too, especially, when you're affected by the most dangerous disease in the world, The Loneliness.

It makes you feel great, when you hear your favorite music, always. i literally forget that, it was me who selected what songs i need to have in my mobile playlist, just enjoy each and every song. And these days, i have become kind of addict to hear music (if you followed my blog, you know it already). and that too when i listen to my most favorite songs, i'm not realizing what i'm doing and where i'm. its makes me feel like i'm in a different world, my own dream world. its not just beautiful, its way more than that. its hard to describe.

Music is one consistent entity, in the way that, when you're sad, it makes you feel happy and when you're happy, it makes you more happy. when you finally stop that music, you feel refreshed, and re-born from that moment. And at times, it also helps you in improving your concentration on what you're doing, filtering-out all the external disturbances. i would suggest you to listen to music, when you're very much frustrated, more angry, feel even little sad. It gives you lot of positive energy. And will end this small crappy post, ,thanking all those musicians who comes out with those awesome music and those lyric writers for those amazing words.

Congrats to my Dearest Friend, Chandrasekar, who finally got his passport,
after long time struggle,
after all the confusions between the two state authorities,
after his application getting rejected for not once - but twice,
and even his tatkal application getting rejected because of his previous application didnt go through verification,
after several air travels between cbe and hyd,
after all those pain taking enquiries and contacting various offcials,
after all those frustrations on trying trying trying nd trying to get this thing done,
after letting go his opportunity for Onsite (dont worry, u'll get one soon).
his patience, attitude of not stepping back and good support from his parents, has made this thing done done.

Finally a big relief for all his efforts, and a big relief for all of us too, on hearing that , Finally He Got It...

If you're a techie, first thing that comes to mind is, coding/programming/call-it-whatever-you-want. But i'm not such an expert to talk about Garbage Collection in techie way. This is about the most talked issue, which affects our unique planet (atleast till a copy is found). Nothing other than Global Warming. Polluting our beautiful atmosphere. But the Garbage which i refer here is, CO2. Now you got it.

Why to pollute air and then purify it? why not prevention, better than cure always? Yes it is. But how far thats possible in our present lifestyle. Yeh, there are ways, use Fossil Fuels, use Hybrid Vehicles, etc etc. But as per the current scenario, its very tough to even be ready for such a drastic change. So, as of now, we dont have much options than looking for options for curing.

Here lets see some ways of Collecting the Garbage, which will make our life miserable, in very near future. Every damn vehicle or industry or home-appliances and most importantly billions and billions of people, add more & more amount of CO2 to the atmosphere. so, as the population increases, pollution of atmosphere with CO2 also increases. The first can't be stopped, so have to deal with the second only.

How to deal with collecting CO2? But first, What does collecting CO2 mean? The answer is simple, Just exract/remove CO2 from Air, dump it somewhere. Its easily said than done. we need to find a feasible, cost-effective & efficient way to extract. Its not at all a new Idea. Probably i'm some millionth person to think on way of extracting CO2 and stop accumulation of CO2 in air. Few of such experiments from Global Research Technologies, even using Rocks and lot more (you have the whole world wide web infront you)

What to do with the extracted/collected CO2? where to dump it? You remember "Pancha Bootham" (Five Primary Elements). Ofcourse you cannot consider Air, and we cant burn this thing down, which again has to be extracted. Left with three elements, which are potential options. Whatever the method of collection, it will end up in blocks & blocks of boxes of CO2. Bury those blocks in a Deep Hole underground, dump the blocks deep under the oceans (ocean beds) or rocket it out of our reach. Whatever it may be, we need to make sure that, we don't come across those garbage's again, at any point of existence of mankind. And again, this is not a new topic at all. I might be some thousandth person to think about it. And there are lot of successful experiments like torpedo'ing CO2 wastes deep under the oceans, has already been conducted and lot more planned to be executed.

So, if all topics are already under research, wondering whats that i'm trying convey in this post? Nothing but aiming to create Awareness, atleast among those very few who visits here. Whatever curing methods we discuss, we can still make pretty big difference in practising the ways of preventing that. We just have to think and execute it. Hopefully, we'll provide a better environment for our successors.

Its the wedding season!!!! and its also the high time for lot of my friends, looking to be part of another persons life, to make that person's life more better, than before. Or accept someone to be their life-partner, to make life more beautiful. And hence i could hear most people, almost all, with a list, a strange list, but a meaningful one, meaningful atleast from their view. In their view, its called as "conditions", but i call it as "wishlist", caz, its difficult to satisfy the conditions, conditions are strict in nature... whereas wishes, are good if they come true, i would not call that as flexible, but certainly not that strict as conditions... So, just thought , for a while, what would be my wishlist, ONLY if its MANDATORY to hav one.... Came up with...
