Last Monday Night I had to return to blr after enjoying the pooja holidays at home... I had booked a ticket in Asian Travels via TicketGoose.com... The start time was 9:45 PM... I went to their office at Gandhipuram by 9 30 PM... After lookin at my ticket, they said that the trip was canceled but however its ticketgoose problem that they allowed booking in it... Then I contacted Ticketgoose personnel... He said that the trip was canceled and they had tried to contact me for past 10 days, and my phone was switched off all the time... I felt tat its stupid to argue with them... Also I had only given them my blr number, which of course I was not using wen I was at home...
Then I made up my mind to travel anyways.. All the buses to blr were full... So I just jumped into a govt bus to Salem... Some useless movie was going on in tat bus, and it disturbed my sleep to a great extent.. As a matter of fact I had lot of disturbances - A baby in the near by seat was crying all the time, and no sufficient leg room, and after the movie was over, they were playin some age old songs in high volume, which was literally screwing my ears :(
I reached Salem by 1 45 AM and to my surprise, the bus stand was highly crowded and as and when the bus arrives, it gets filled in the sense that I had to hurry in jumping into the bus to get a seat... I tried in two buses in vain, and succeeded in the next attempt but managed to get a seat only in last row... Thoranai movie was played in this bus, but I had no mood to watch as I was very sleepy... Seated in the last row, I was bouncing all the time, and the chill air from the back door was highly an irritating one :(
I reached Hosur by 5 45 AM and immediately got into a bus to blr... Reached Silk board by 6 40 AM... Then I waited sometime in outer ring road to reach my place - Hebbal.. It took another one hour for me to reach home at 7 45 AM.... And because of this awful travel experience, I was sleepy for the entire day but managed to stay quite awake in office.... As I left office by 6 30, I started sleepin by 7 and got up by 7 today as I got a call from my home :)

Moral Science !!
Well, I was thinking for a long time as to what should I post next.... Suddenly I went back to my school days when I was studying standard nine... That was of course our adolescent age too :) And to add fuel to the fire, our Moral Science book had two interesting chapters - 'Sex and Marriage' and 'Boys and Girls'......
The first chapter discussed about the reasons for a marriage... Although I felt that it was too early to have a lesson on marriage, I can relate most of it now and also I feel I can relate much more based on other practical sources... There are many people for whom the ultimate aim is to lead a settled life... Even I was influenced by such feelings when I started my college life... But of late, the things have changed... I realize that I am younger than many of my colleagues who are themselves not married... It literally means, I have nearly five more years to concentrate on my career and try to enjoy the bachelor life as much as possible :)
The second chapter was indeed fun, and me studying in a boyz school, then realized the need for a co-education :) It discussed in detail about the frndship between a boy and a gal and how the same may turn into a love or some 'matter', and what will be the cause and result of all this - Don't say a baby ll be the result!! Those were really the days we attained maturity, and these lessons really shaped us, if not atleast it brought out some interesting topics for discussion in the class.... These lessons were taken by one our lady staffs, and I could realize tat it would've been very much embarrassing for her :) The point that I would like to add is that I missed many things as I studied in a boyz school, but at the same time, we had a lot of freedom in discussing things... Nevertheless, those void spaces were filled in college :)
Also, my essay on adolescence was greatly appreciated in one of the moral science tests... And now being an adult am proud tat I ve overcome those period with caution and now its really time to engage in some fresh professional activities and of course foresee and dream about future :)

Two Impressive Looong Msgs...
It will be quite rare to receive long text sms... I would like to post two such sms that I received in my college days that impressed me a lot...
1) "Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the voxpopuli, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose,so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V"
— V for Vendetta
2) Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
The first quote was sent to me by Raghu, and I really found it difficult to understand.. And even today its the same... May be some GRE aspirants can explain me :) I am yet to watch tat movie V for Vendetta....
The second quote on love is quite a sad one... People of my age(esp guys) who can call themselves experienced can actually feel this quote... This was sent to me by Sundar(The Renowned Lover) during my second year... But because I am experienced, I suggest not to hate love, instead try to hate that unworthy person whom u loved :) Love is immortal, in the sense that at any point of time there will be someone with whom u can show love or atleast u can find one soon :)... Have the hope tat Better options are alwayz available :) Don't ever hate LOVE :)

5S !!
This 5S helps to organize the workplace, and here in Philips, they insist on this... These words are Japanese... Remembering these five words can be difficult compared to following them :)

No Msgs :(
It is quite a sad thing and quite unusual that my incoming message count for a day is almost zero for quite a number of months... :) During my college days, I used to get on average some 30 to 40 msgs per day, and I ll be sending some 80 to 90 msgs :) Last December, when I chose a plan for my mobile in blr, I chose the student plan which has daily 100 free msgs and 1 rupee rental... But soon I realized that I don't need any free msgs now, because none sends a msg to me and I have nothing to forward as well :( A considerable set of my friends are in blr now.. Almost all of them had chosen a plan where msging is not free... :(....
The fact is tat people are more interested in cutting the std rates and none bothers about the local sms... Infact, messaging trend in the college no more exists when u start living a professional.... :) However, I ll change my plan in few months as the current student plan of mine is gonna expire in less than three months....
The days where we would be messaging non-stop, having the mobile under desk during class hours are passed away.... Ofcourse I remember my class ladies (Abinaya...) who'll keep on msging, having their mobile inside the purse on the desk :)
