Recently i come across an article in rediff posted by a Desi living in Texas which states how the lack of information made people having wrong opinion about India. I felt the same over here. What people think about India is much more frightening. Surprisingly, many people out there do not know much about our country -- something that became evident that how outside world think about India and lack of history and information made them unaware about what actual India is?
I felt very disappointed about how others think about India and why we aren’t spreading the culture, tradition and good things about our nation. We not only came here to earn but also came as ambassadors of the most sacred nation in this world. It’s our duty to present our country’s good aspects to all the fellow Human beings of this planet.
There are just too many stereotypes about Indian people and about India. They think that,
India is poor. All Indians are Hindu. Indian roads are bad. People live on streets. Many Indian villages don’t have electricity. People see the videos and channels telecast online which depicted that the lives of people in India who were uneducated and under-nourished. Why don’t the media telecast good things about our country rather than always stick to poor things and make money by selling the bad info about the nation. It’s like selling your own **********.
Is India poor and bad? And the answer for this is a firm "No”. Although one can see poor people living on the streets, this was definitely not the case for everyone in India. India is full of smart and competent people who can rival the smartest in America and other nations. Not everyone in India is poor. There are many people who are very rich. India also has an influential middle class population. Poverty is more evident in India because it has one of the largest populations in the world (over 1 billion); if India had a lower population then it would probably have less poverty.
And some parts of India experience power outages often, but electricity is not a rare commodity. Even though India has power outages the government is coming up with ideas to solve that problem. New power plants, nuclear power plants and lot of initiatives were taken and implemented well. "India has invested a lot of money into generating renewable power. It currently ranks as the 3rd largest wind energy producer and is advancing in other renewable resources,”
All should know that there are so many talented people in IT, medicine, science, technology which is almost equal to the population of big countries!
India gave ‘Zero ‘to the world. Indian civilization is one of the ancient and modern civilizations. India is the land of origin of medicine, technology. If you tell me, don’t live with your history, then I can say that present India has much more talent than the past. India is the fastest growing economy (In the GDP analysis). When you take elite club of nations in all aspects, India will be a default name in that list. You know everything but wearing a sunglass will make you unaware of the sunlight!
There is no part of land in this planet left over without the foot steps of an Indian.
I found a great optimism and zest for life in current India. They say India is a failure -- day and night. But how can a billion people are doing the wrong thing? India can do it; we just need have more faith in ourselves... Imagine if a billion people have even a tiny bit of more faith in the country and themselves.. Miracles needn't be only in fairy tales. India is the youngest country in the average age of human population and all this youth power explodes in coming decades to make the country as a supreme power in all aspects. This is the reality going to happen and not a day dream or expectation.
I see many of my friends came here to U.S are planning to settle down here itself and simply telling the vague reasons like more money, comfort living, high technology etc etc. Why don’t you guys earn well come back to India and make your country the way you want to be. This is not a senti dialogue or a philosophical note. Be practical and accept the fact that you are making a big big mistake!
And I have to mention that, some people over here knew good aspects about India too. I myself hear many of them say “I want to go to India because it’s exotic and amazing”. They love our culture, tradition. Our hospitality, our growth. People here are addicted to Indian cuisines. They wonder about the young aspirants of India and etc etc…
So you too now make a list of what are the things that make you love her? India...?
Next time someone asks about India, make sure that you give right info and make them understood their views of India were wrong and they should envy us that we came from a great nation. Your friends might have wrong views of India, so ask them what they know about India and quickly clear up their confusion.
I want to remind you all that India is the country which Rules the World in Future and the future is not so far. And I will be so happy to tell that i live in the generation where India rules the world.
I am spreading the word out for our beloved country and join hands with me guys!

How Mood Ring Works?
Recently I have bought a new Mood Ring (as I hv lost some nd my frnds took few when I was in India - its avail in Dollars & Pounds). I was about to write How it works? But someway missed out and as my laptop s idle for couple of hours, plnd 2 text it before the cooling fan start grunting grrrrrrrrr…
The stone in a mood ring is either a hollow glass shell filled with thermotropic liquid crystals, or a clear glass stone sitting on top of a thin sheet of liquid crystals these liquid crystal molecules are very sensitive; they change position, or twist, according to changes in temperature. This change in molecular structure affects the wavelengths of light that are absorbed or reflected by the liquid crystals, resulting in an apparent change in the color of the stone.
The inside of the ring conducts heat from your finger to the liquid crystals in the "stone." The color green, which signifies "average" on the mood ring color scale, is calibrated to the surface temperature of a typical person, approximately 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius). If your surface temperature varies far enough from the norm, then the liquid crystals in the stone alter enough to cause a change in the color reflected. And if you take a mood ring off, it will normally change to black unless the ambient temperature is very high.
Take a look at the Mood Ring colors listed below, and what "mood" they represent. The colors are listed according to the change in temperature they represent, with dark blue being the warmest and black the coolest.
· Dark blue: Happy, romantic or passionate – Day dreaming ah :-)
· Blue / Light Purple: Calm /relaxed, sharp, witty. - You are a cool guy. I like it buddy!!!
· Blue-green: Somewhat relaxed. You’re feeling good and not much will get you down today! You think this info is amusing !!!
· Green: Normal or average – A little on Edge? Little edgy is ok? If everyone is stepping on your Toes, put on shoes!
· Amber: A little nervous or anxious – Things will get better. Its time for Comfort food. Cookies, Chips, Ice Cream! In small portions. Who will know? Keep Cookies in Cupboard, Ice Cream in Freezer. Be Philosophical :-).
· Gray: Very nervous or anxious
· Black: Stressed, tense or feeling harried – Count to 10! Go for a walk! Have a glimpse of your office Crush! This mood will pass! Just stay from me until it does :-)
However, the amount of thermotropic liquid crystals in a mood ring was so small that it couldn't measure with any amount of accuracy what your real mood was. You'd have to be really, really angry to get the stone to reflect your true body temperature. And also due to fluctuations in the manufacturing of the rings by various companies the above colors are not considered universal. It is also worth noting that variations between different people's bodily temperatures and the environmental influences on the thermotrophic crystals may make mood rings somewhat unreliable.
In the end, they were just a neat fad, and a kitschy piece of jewelry that was fun to wear.
Truly groovy…

Is India ruling the Cricket World?
At present, everyone says yes!!! And I love to hear these words.
Cricket world is ruled by England & other countries over a long period of time. Asian countries were treated like underdogs and no favors have been done till now to improve the sport in this part of the world.
The rise of India, Pakistan and Srilanka happened inside and they stood up by themselves without any help from outside world.
Every time ICC treats the Asian countries in a bad manner and the players got punished without having clear evidence. But when it comes to other cricketing nations, players were allowed to do all sort of things other than playing cricket in right spirit (sledging, jellybean stories etc etc).
That’s overdose now and let we make them to taste their own medicine.The Recent Sydney incident is a height of arrogance.
We are the richest cricket board in the world and the ball won’t move without our bat. It’s time to dominate, its time to show we are Giant Dragons. Let BCCI won’t bother about others who complain it acting like a big brother. We heard a lot and its time to give back, with more interest rate :-).
As peter roebuck says, India must stop being defensive.
It has a mighty story to tell, a functioning democracy created from a chequered history, a nation built in a generation, temples and mosques sitting side by side in so many cities. Nor does its cricket history justify the comment made not long ago by a white opponent that "all Asian cricketers are f---ing cheats." Please can First World newspapers dust off all articles published between 1901 and 2001 deploring the manner in which Anglo-Saxon interests dominated the game?
Suddenly India is ruling the roost and the boys are worried about monopolies and cultural hegemony. It is a bit late for that.
You let the dragon to fire back. So feel the heat..! And I say tis is not enuf draggie …

A Good company to Pass Eternity ...
It was yet another Freezing morning in Hartford. I was on my way to office, vyth layered dress up - Thermal wear+ Formal wearing + Woollen sweater & Jerkin as a top layer ... :-)
I saw 2 extinguised cigarettes which are half buried on the trash sand on the street. It looks like 2 Human bodies buried next to each other in parallel. One day this will become true as a result of smoking. I was worried about those two souls.

Didnt they knew about the worth of life...
Didnt they knew abt the outcome of smokin...
What about their families? Their future ...
The cigar between the 2 fingers looks like fire of life , glowed with sacrifice. They were mercilessly quenched and leading to kinda suicide attempt ..!
Tat puff of smoke at the max will give some warmth on a snowy day to kill the winter / tension. There is a life beyond the winter. You have summer, autumn, spring to enjoy guys.
Dont you want to see colors of life?. Will they come out of illusion world !!!
Trying my level best 2 tell all my frnds abt tis & it wud be gr888 to see @least a single soul listen to these words...
And sometin to pen down in the form of poetic words ...

Yagnika Strikes - The Final Showdown
Final Episode:
Yagnika was there with him for the whole month till he got fully recovered.
Aryan recovered soon and they returned to his Kensington apartment.
Aryan: Hei Yag. Thanks a lot. So sweet of you that you came long way to see me and taken care well.
Yag: I was waiting for this time only. I just came here to make you happy on your birthday. Since I don’t want to get away like a thief without informing you and let you down at this critical point of time. That’s why came long way to make our departure a pleasant one.
~A: Are you serious.
Yag: Am damn serious. You know I already told that. Just to justify my friendship, I came to see you.
~A: You came a long way to see me Na. This shows the value of your Friendship. Don’t play with me dear.
Yag: I came for a short busienss trip for a KT here. I don’t want to play anymore. Best wishes for your future. Am leaving tomorrow. If you are interested, you can come to send off me.
~A: Hei cmon…Everything had gone well. Why you are doing like this now !
Yag: Enuf man. No more friendship. It’s time to Depart. And here is the last note for you. I have soemthign for you, open it tomorrow when I leave to airport. Hope you keep up this.
~A: Okeiii everything had gone. Let me do this too.
The next day, everyone came to airport for send off, but with a gloomy face.
Yag: Hei guys. Why you are all looking like a lost cat. Cheer up guys.
Deepak: how come yaar. We are very proud to tell others that you both are such a good friends. It’s disappointing a lot.
Yag: I can’t do anything for this. Life is a game of unexpected things.
Aryan: Guys forget about that.
The final announcement came for security check in.
Yag: Hei useless fellow. Open the cover now.
Aryan unwrapped it without showing any interest and the message was:
“April 1 is the day to make fool of Intelligent ones. But I can make you fool on any day”. We are always Best Friends forever. Will meet you soon in our Homeland. Take Care Dhandam
Happy Ending :-)
Epilogue:
April 3, 2018 … Later the life of Yagnika and Aryan is colorful one.
Yagnika got married and settled in Chennai with her hubby.
Aryan is still the same mischievous guy settled down in Bangalore with his wife. He got bored of the software job and joined as a Strategic Manager in Indus International School in Bangalore. Probably readers can meet them again as Guests in the upcoming stories.

Yagnika Strikes - Part 8 (Mitt Gayi Dhooriyaan )
Aryan lost the consciousness and slowly the pulse rate gone down and left his brain in dire stages.He was in the later stages of fits and his arms and legs paralyzed with blood started flowing across the street further.
Yeakssss. Yagnika got shocked about the bad dream she had and prayed god that nothing should happen to him. Is that the inner instinct warning her?She immediately called Aryan, ended up with the Voice message. She tried to call his friends to enquire but not reachable.
There in Minnesota, August 4, The Central Connecticut hospital…
The latenite patrol found Aryan on the Roadside and admitted in the hospital and informed his friends. Shankar rushed to see him unconscious in the bed where the group of doctors are discussing with each other.
Dr Pat: Are you Aryan’s friend?
shankar: Yah.This is Shankar here.
Dr Pat: Nothing serious. He just had blood clot in the skull and few fractures in leg. A minor operation will dissolve the blood clot. But he must be in monitoring atleast for 2 weeks.
Shankar: Tats fine doc. Shall we see him now.
Dr Pat: No dude. We are going to operate now. Probably you can see him tomorrow morning.
Shankar: TX doc.
The next day started with all sort of formalities. Aryan got up and saw all those band aids over his body like printer cartridges.
Shankar, Dinesh, Deepak, Sravanthi all stood there with the sarcastic smile.
Dinesh: Dude, what happened yesterday? Did you go behind any girl and stuck on the road.
~A: Hei common guys. Notin like tat.
Deepak: Else did you go for a Sky diving and fallen from the sky? Useless tell us the truth.
~A: Hei i was just on the way to Shankar’s home da.
Shankar: Tats fine buddy, but is my home is in the middle of the Road. What would you do if something happened serious? Just you got away with fractures.
~A: Okei chill out guys. And dinesh check out my pant da, I had a Gourmet Irish chocolate in that.
Dinesh: stop it man.
~A: Hei pls da. Just a bite.
Shankar: Btw. Whts your plan for Birthday man.
Deepak: Hei when is your Bday?
~A: It’s Aug 20. Forget about that da.
Shankar: Hei what happenned?. You will get lot of gifts.
~A: Give me the chocolate first man.
Dinesh: don’t change the topic. What happened to you? Do you feel that you won’t get discharged b4 that? Cool dude. For a change, we can celebrate this time in hospital. We will present you syringes, syrups, tablets. Might be we will steal the hi fi medical equipment and gift you.
~A: Okei…do whatever as you wish. Leave me.
Vikka: ok take rest, ciao later.Everyone started leaving the place…
~A: Shankar did I got any call.
Shankar: No man, mobile was crushed in the accident spot itself.
~A: Did any of my friends called you.
Shankar: You want to know whether Yagnika called you or not. Ask directly dude and havent received any call from her.
~A: not like that man. Actually we had some arguments yesterday and she just told me that she will never call me or see me anymore. So forget about that. That’s why I told you am not interested to celebrate this birthday.
Shankar: shall I call her da.
~A: No da. She never allows any mediator and I don’t want to tell her about this accident. She might feel guilty as because of her only this happened. So let the life go on its way.
Shankar: are you sure ?
~A: Yep. Aryan was recovering slowly. It was good time in hospital with all sort of fun with doctors and pantry guys.
August 13, 2 PM.
Shankar came with a parcel.
Aryan: Whats that dude? Any gift for me.
Shankar: Alaiyaadha. Of course it’s a gift from your sister Vidu.
Aryan: Unwrap and check out whats in that da.Before that shall we have a bet and the bet will be, if I won ‘you have to owe me 1 KG of candies’ else I will take you to the Nick Barron’s concert at Joe's Pub.
Shankar: You don’t know anything beyond candies. Ok fine.
Aryan: The gift will be a book. Since she knows my wish list and flavors.
Shankar: hmm lets see.. and it iss …you're right man.
Aryan: wow. Is it tinkle comicsssss…Sweet sister she is.
Shankar:Its not tinkle, it’s ”The greatness guide” from Robin Sharma.
Aryan: Oh ok. Anyways I heard that’s a nice book. Phone calls, meet ups and all happened on the eve of the birthday. Aryan’s inner mind woke up and asked “Will Yagnika call me atleast for the Birthday. Hope she will!!!”
It’s August 14, midnite 12 AM…
Suddenly lights had gone off. Flashy torches shoot up on walls.
There see Shankar, dino, Deepak, Alicia , the ward staff,
Dr pat.Dude…Many more Happy Returns of the day.And suddenly Candy rain started dizzling all thru his Bed.
Wowow..tx guys.
All sort of fun, birthday bumps happened well. His Dad, MUM, Sister, Niece, even the Pup barked him to wish.It was late nite and everyone was back to bed.
Aryan: Tx Shankar. You know one thing all these candies are Yagnika’s Favorite. She still shows her presence. I know though she wont call or meet me, she still wish me from there. I think so! I know she will come back one day.
Shankar: You had dream?
Aryan: Dream is not what you see in sleep , is the thing which does not let U sleep.
Am a guy and never cry, but still I feel the pain of losing my Best Friend!
Shankar: No philosophies. Forgot abt that. This is Ur day man. Have a blash.Ciao tmrw buddy. Gud nite.
Shankar turned back and moved to the front door. Auomatic door opened and he saw a known face standing outside.
Yagnika Strikes, back …
(It was Yagnika standing in front of the door, who came long way to US).
Mitt Gayi Dhooriyaan …
YAG: Hei donkey monkey password key. How come I forgot man. You will be my Best Friend forever. Friends are always friends and that too no one will forgot a Friend like you. Many more Happy Returns of the Day Dhandam.
and as per your wish, here is my first poem for you.
PS: Story concludes in next episode.

Shankar: You want to know whether Yagnika called you or not. Ask directly dude and havent received any call from her.
~A: not like that man. Actually we had some arguments yesterday and she just told me that she will never call me or see me anymore. So forget about that. That’s why I told you am not interested to celebrate this birthday.
Shankar: shall I call her da.
~A: No da. She never allows any mediator and I don’t want to tell her about this accident. She might feel guilty as because of her only this happened. So let the life go on its way.
Shankar: are you sure ?
~A: Yep. Aryan was recovering slowly. It was good time in hospital with all sort of fun with doctors and pantry guys.
August 13, 2 PM.
Shankar came with a parcel.
Aryan: Whats that dude? Any gift for me.
Shankar: Alaiyaadha. Of course it’s a gift from your sister Vidu.
Aryan: Unwrap and check out whats in that da.Before that shall we have a bet and the bet will be, if I won ‘you have to owe me 1 KG of candies’ else I will take you to the Nick Barron’s concert at Joe's Pub.
Shankar: You don’t know anything beyond candies. Ok fine.
Aryan: The gift will be a book. Since she knows my wish list and flavors.
Shankar: hmm lets see.. and it iss …you're right man.
Aryan: wow. Is it tinkle comicsssss…Sweet sister she is.
Shankar:Its not tinkle, it’s ”The greatness guide” from Robin Sharma.
Aryan: Oh ok. Anyways I heard that’s a nice book. Phone calls, meet ups and all happened on the eve of the birthday. Aryan’s inner mind woke up and asked “Will Yagnika call me atleast for the Birthday. Hope she will!!!”
It’s August 14, midnite 12 AM…
Suddenly lights had gone off. Flashy torches shoot up on walls.
There see Shankar, dino, Deepak, Alicia , the ward staff,
Dr pat.Dude…Many more Happy Returns of the day.And suddenly Candy rain started dizzling all thru his Bed.
Wowow..tx guys.
All sort of fun, birthday bumps happened well. His Dad, MUM, Sister, Niece, even the Pup barked him to wish.It was late nite and everyone was back to bed.
Aryan: Tx Shankar. You know one thing all these candies are Yagnika’s Favorite. She still shows her presence. I know though she wont call or meet me, she still wish me from there. I think so! I know she will come back one day.
Shankar: You had dream?
Aryan: Dream is not what you see in sleep , is the thing which does not let U sleep.
Am a guy and never cry, but still I feel the pain of losing my Best Friend!
Shankar: No philosophies. Forgot abt that. This is Ur day man. Have a blash.Ciao tmrw buddy. Gud nite.
Shankar turned back and moved to the front door. Auomatic door opened and he saw a known face standing outside.
Yagnika Strikes, back …
(It was Yagnika standing in front of the door, who came long way to US).
Mitt Gayi Dhooriyaan …
YAG: Hei donkey monkey password key. How come I forgot man. You will be my Best Friend forever. Friends are always friends and that too no one will forgot a Friend like you. Many more Happy Returns of the Day Dhandam.
and as per your wish, here is my first poem for you.

Yagnika Strikes: Part 7
Frozen Thoughts!!!
It was -15 degrees in Minnesota and Aryan is having a Sauvignon Blanc. Mobile giggles by Yagnika’s call.
~Y: Hei man. How are you ? Whats up thr?
~A: Notin specific yaar. It’s too cold and am just having SB.
~Y: Useless who asked you to have that. I told you no drinks, no candies.
~A: Hei whats this. Too much restriction. Then how will I overcome such chillness. Sometimes it goes to – 30 too.
~Y: Grab your winter wear and lie down on bed man.
~A: Halo. It’s quite impossible. BTW I just thought of having Pedigree :-)
~Y: What???!!! You Dumbo. Are you mad?
~A: Might be :-). U know I used 2 take a very little pinch of Pedigree when I feed my Pup and my pup used to have Dairy milk when I have it.
~Y: u r crazyyy fellow. It’s difficult to tell who human being is and who is dog.
~A: okei Kewl.
~Y: Ok tell me why no calls, no mails from you. You had forgotten me entirely na. I know you guys are always like this. More gals, More fun. That’s why you forgot me .
~A: Ok then why you showed Ego. If not me, you should have called me Na.
~Y: What the hell you are talking. I don’t have any ego. This shows that you are not interested to talk to me.
~A: You have your own set of friends. That’s why you hadn’t called me. See am the loser am. Since you are the only good and best friend for me and if you don’t talk to me I feel hurt. But you have many friends and you spend time with them. When you finally got bored and felt what to do, you call me.
~Y: You mean to say am jobless. You are not listening to me.
Meanwhile Aryan took the Jerkin and started walking on the Kensington Street to meet his frnd Shankar. It’s quite dark and zero visibility on the road.
~A: Yag. Common understand me. Did I told that you are not listening to me and avoiding me. Am going to see Vikram yaar. Catch you later na.
~Y: So you are going to disconnect the call, that’s why telling like that.
~A: Ok kewl . Sorry. I understand you very well. Sorry if I had done anytin wrong. You know onetin there are lot of candies avail here and it tempts me and I buy a lot. Still I take few candies from that bunch and keep it in my runner and throw it away to keep your promise atleast to some extent but you wont understand my love.
~Y: Enuf buddhu. Don’t make me fool. Am frustrated and cant tolerate with you.“ It is Better to Depart, instead of Staying Apart “
~A: If this is ur wish. Am there 2 fulfill it as ur Best Friend. Even tomorrow you will be my Best friend but I don’t know whether am your Best friend!
~Yag: Remember I won’t be there to see you when you come back to India. Good bye.
Aryan was very disappointed and struck on the road with his arms and legs freezed.
A truck was approached on the blind corner and the truck driver not able to see clearly where Aryan exactly standing on the road tried his level best to avoid.
It was -15 degrees in Minnesota and Aryan is having a Sauvignon Blanc. Mobile giggles by Yagnika’s call.
~Y: Hei man. How are you ? Whats up thr?

A truck was approached on the blind corner and the truck driver not able to see clearly where Aryan exactly standing on the road tried his level best to avoid.
He just saw the truck just before the collision.
It just hit him on the road and went off. He fell down with the Frozen Thoughts!!!
I don’t sleep much, but when I do, I do it very, very well. I’m a championship sleeper. And a world class dreamer. Is this the permanent sleep?

Both Aryan and Srav looked each other amusingly.
Aryan: Tats fine dad. Do let me know the proceedings. Missing mum badly.
Hei Srav forgot about tat. Let it drive on different road. we can discuss tis later. am very tired due to jetlag catch you later.
They just moved to their respective apartments planning to meet on next evng.
The following morning Aryan got an early start and started to the office. Usual KT session, Roles and Responsibilities were drawn out and tasks were assigned for the upcoming days.
Homesick attacked for a while and the typical feelings of india started...
Wish i can hold ur hand and walk along… like the walk to Candy shop
Wish i can hear those encouraging words… as u lift me up from low spirits
Wish i can take you out in our car… while i drive n u jus sit back (tensed )
Wish i can be unwrapped from this virtual connection… (for a change, internet sucks)
Wish i can taste the flavour of your fingers… when u feed me
Wish i can feel the warmth of your lap… when i rest on u
Wish i can see the joy in your eyes… when we meet again
Wish i can just be there… with u… at home…
Mummy, i miss you a lot...
Stressed. Dejected. Home sick. Badly wanting to see my parents…
Am counting down days to catch my flight back home… till then, lets hope things go well.. New year is comin up soon.. not yet got new candy flavors… no plans.. once i am done with my first level of onsite assignment on 26th evening.. things will fall in place… Anyways… am still the motivated and enthu kid around in the deserted minnesota in spite of all the commotion… am happy with myself in that sense… gaining inspiration from thy self! That's exactly wat keeps me goin thru such tuf times… Life suddenly seems to be pickin up pace… and i am enjoying the run.. Join along peps!!!!!!!
He called up home immediately and talked to his mum.
Meanwhile his Dad told "Hei i told about the girl na, actually She is from CTS, mistakenly told it as TCS. Will let you know rest of the details soon".
Oh My Goodness…Bankra bangayi mein .
Aryan called Yagnika immediately and updated about Srav and how Dad made him Bakra and rest.Aryan dont know that it was Yagnika who told aryan's Dad to play this game
Episode 9 – Dangerous Girl
You've gotta mail from Yagnika.
Aryan got excited by the pop up message and opened it carefully so that even the mail link won’t get hurt by the mouse click.
Useless fellow. why no mails, no calls. How dare u dumbo. you forgot me and roaming behind Sravanthi !!!
"….and remember? Not once have u tried to console me when I was low when you left me alone.
Are you taking food properly, stay away from the candies else you will lose all your teeth before turning 30.
You remember those golden days, we had fighting’s with each other and we went for Rational training at that time.
“On the first day in the Rational trng, our instructor made you naughty boy sit next to me.
It was the worst day of my life, or atleast i thought. We spoke little. Not even a part of our course material or a speck of eraser dust would be allowed to fall on the others desktop. And then, next day it happened.
You came to training room with a sling supporting your hand. I was instructed by the Instructor to help you take down notes and so, I reluctantly obliged.
That day, over lunch, I softly asked you, "How did u manage to get this fracture?"You smirked at me and said, "I thought this would be a cool excuse to make you take down notes for me!" The next moment, you found yourself holding the tooth in your palm and said, "Thath thooth haz bin shakin for a wik now. Dhanks for gettin itt off!" While one half insisted that you deserved it, the other half was shocked and guilty with the turnover of events. While i apologized to you, You winked at me and said, "Dangerous girl!" It was the first time you planned to come with all sort of guard's to office
I was angry with you for telling me as Dangerous girl and to change the topic you told me that , "OMG! Look at your cheeks!! So damn red! Were you preparing to act as a clown in the circus?" I glared back at you and you continued, "Now come on. Stop this. Else I am going to start on how your pony is beginning to curl behind your back. See I can even hang my Laptop in it!!" You pulled my pony and well anticipating my reaction, prepared for a dash. My cheeks turned red with anger. I had sprinted behind you along the corridors and down the staircase, until we finally reached the pantry and i could run no further. You stood jogging at a safe distance from me, laughing."
Back 2 Real world …
I loved the way you teased me those days, laughed at my ponytail, trying to cheer me up at those times. I guess this is all as much true today as it was that day. Those seemed like fleeting moments of eternal happiness. They came like a shooting star and vanished as quickly. How I wish time froze then. I miss you tons! Take care.
Good luck for your onsite assignment and keep in touch!
P.S. You better not reply in 2 lines like last time. Or else, when we meet during your vacation, you won't go back to Minnesota in the same shape. Like you always say, 'Dangerous girl!'"

Yagnika Strikes - Part 5 (Aankon mein Teri Ajab si Ajab si Adhayein hain)
Behind the Scenes:
Part 5 - Aankon mein Teri Ajab si Ajab si Adhayein hain:
Finally it was a pleasant departure...
Yagnika:
Nerathukku Sapdu
Vaarathukku moonu naalavathu Kuli
Andha socks a Thovachu podu
Nagam kadikatha
Saamiya vendikko
Enna parthu kathuko
Aryan: Sari sari manatha vangatha. Tata. Take Care dear.
Finally Lufthansa took off from Chennai and squeezed into the cloudy sky.This is the first birding experience for Aryan to US. The journey will be from Chennai to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Chicago, and then to the destination city.
The flight from Chennai to Frankfurt was, of course, quite long. But it wasn't unbearable. Aryan watched out the window as they climbed away from Chennai and flew out over the Sea. The water looked clear and peaceful. The land was mostly flat, but they also spotted some impressive cliffs. It was the first time to lay eagles eye on the sea. Aryan looked frantically out the window, but he couldn't see anything. A few minutes later, tried again. This time, he was lucky: there were a few holes in the clouds. Through these holes, he could see magnificent cliffs and coasts. Back to the flight, Aryan was waiting for the air Hostess to have some chocolates And also based on the fact that he heard Israeli women are very Cute. (Note: He discovered that not only are they cute, but they love to flirt as well.)He decided he could use a spot of tea and a bite of something sweet to eat.Once he settled down, mounted his Ear phones to listen to the songs in Ipod, there comes a voice beside him.
Hi, i am Sravanthi from TCS. You are from Cognizant. Am i right?
Aryan: Hei how come you know am frm CTS? Is there any label sticked on my forehead!
Sravanthi: cool. Just had a wild guess by seeing the Ipod (as Ipod is gifted to CTS employees and they always showcase in all places )
Aryan: Ofcourse i am.
Sh: Nice meeting you. May i know where you are going?
A: Do u expect me to say the place. If so, i am going to other part of the Earth where i had not been there till now (Aryan still now got away from the fact that she had guessed him from the Ipod and they showcasing it outside)
Sh: Hope you are not in good mood. Do you feel embarrassed of the way i identified you?
A: Not really, but the way you told us that we showcase it everywhere makes me irritated.
Sh: kewl. just kidded. Lets be friends. Shake Hands . Thoda sa smile pls cheer up…smile plzzzzzz….little more….arey…just a little more….
A: eeeeeeee.. enuf
Srav: hei cmon man. cool down. Whats up?
A: Hmmm…Close up!
Srav: grrr…nice joke.
A: did i tell it as joke?
Srav: ok forgot it. sorry sorry. chill out buddy.
A: ok fine. Then do onetin. give me whatever chocolates u take from air hostess.
Srav: Done.
Sravanti's mother had taught her quite a few things about men: She should be wary of those she did not know, polite to those she did, and tough as nails with those who were disrespectful or in any way threatening. But none of these rules seemed to apply in this situation.
She became Friend to Aryan soon bcoz of the quarrel.
Sh:so hws wrk going? whr u r going nw?
A:yah gr88 going. Tat too am in COE and having really innovative tasks. now going to Minnesota.

A:You know my Niece is so cute and naughty. Let me show you her snaps and clippings
Srav:Hei she is so cute. Do tell me when you call up your home next time. I will talk to her. Whats your Hobbies?
A: notin specific. Write poems, listen to songs, addicted to chocolates.
Flight landed on Frankfurt airport. It will be a waiting time of 4 hrs. They had to wait several hours for the next, So both Aryan and Shravanthi spent time on shopping, roaming inside airport.Some of the time, he stared at the planes taxiing by: 747s, A330s; KLM, Northwest, Air China…
Finally they reached Minnesota. Their bags were two of the first five off the carousel. Aryan was looking for a Phone booth.
Srav: Hei it seems like you want to convey the news that you reached safely na?. If so use my mobile.
A: Tx yaar. And you told you want to hear my Niece voice na. So keep it in speaker mode.He was trying to his Dad's mobile and soon the call was picked up.
A: hi Dad.i just reached my place. It was a nice trip.
Dad: Thats good. blah blah blah …….Hei i have a news for you.
Meanwhile Sravanthi asked Aryan to ask his niece to talk.
A: Anytin spcl Dad?
Dad: Ofcourse. We have seen a girl for you. Her name is Sravanthi working in TCS!!! (Both Aryan and Sravanthi heard this as it is in speaker Mode)
Aryan turned towards Sravanthi and looking her Eyes with a Smile…

My Wet Nosed Friend …
Dogs are Man's Best Friends…
That’s true in my life and its very difficult for me to live without pets. Since they are the real creatures who show true love and affection and we can rely on them forever.
Since the Death of my Pet dog Snoopy , me and my Niece are eager to adopt a new Pup, but my parents are not ready for this and they keep telling me "no more pets dear as we can’t able to see them die in front of us".
I accept it, but i miss snoopy and definitely want snoopy to come back in another form as a new Pup.
Henceforth the Googling began and finally i adopted a new Labrador Pup.
Holy shit…Welcome back Snoopy…
Now is a good time to start thinking of a name for the pup!
Choosing the perfect name for your puppy is an opportunity to demonstrate to the world just how creative and insightful you are. Dog names say a lot about your loved one and believe it or not a lot about you. Think about the last few dog names you heard. Did the dog names stand out, were they a good description, were they unique and easily distinguishable from other words and did they have meaning? These are all important considerations to think about when choosing perfect dog names.
Remember …
We will use our Wet Nosed Friend's name well over 30,000 times, so we have to choose wisely and always be sure it has a meaning.
My wish list is SIMBA, FURO, NEO and GOOGLE …
Once i sent SMS to all my friends for suggesting a name for our Guy, 70 % of the replies were "Prabhu". Mummyyyyyy…Am i???
Fun apart. Here are the few names i got it frm my friends.
Capsi, Mojo, Reno…
Rocky, Terry, Pogo, Phoenix …
Zack, Zee, Zooey, fonzi, Fiesta …
Pappu, Scooby, Roxy, Jumbo, Shelly, Dolly …
Okeiiii, the stage is urs …
Me and my Pup thank you for taking the time and effort to choose the perfect name :-)
That’s true in my life and its very difficult for me to live without pets. Since they are the real creatures who show true love and affection and we can rely on them forever.
Since the Death of my Pet dog Snoopy , me and my Niece are eager to adopt a new Pup, but my parents are not ready for this and they keep telling me "no more pets dear as we can’t able to see them die in front of us".
I accept it, but i miss snoopy and definitely want snoopy to come back in another form as a new Pup.
Henceforth the Googling began and finally i adopted a new Labrador Pup.
Holy shit…Welcome back Snoopy…

Yagnika Strikes - Part 4
Episode 7: The Departure:
“Need Expert Comments, Here we are…Center of Excellence”
Wordings engraved in Aryan’s T-shirt glowed on Yagnika’s face.
Yag - Hei this is too much man. What you do in CoE? Chumma you do all Hype!!!
Aryan – You are jealous. What will I do for that? That’s a huge thing and you won’t understand it too :-)
Yag - ok leave it. Why you are looking dull yaar?
Aryan – I have a bad news for you.
Yag – What, you still not getting any girl friend na. Am I right? Haha…First of all grow up man. Forgot about the kiddy stuff. Then you will get committed soon.
Aryan – If I have to lose everytin mere for a Girl friend, Sorry let me be single and happy.
Yag – ok tell me Whts the news you are supposed to share with me?
Aryan – Am going onsite to Minnesota.
Yag- That’s good news dear. You will experience a new environment. You need a change in the midst of hectic work.
Aryan – You will be missing your Best Friend dear.
Yag – yep. What to do for that? It’s your future and am happy for that.
Aryan – Ofcourse I need a change yaar. “The best time to look for the change is, when you feel really comfortable. Yes I mean it. If you are too comfortable and like to stay there forever, then you are in trouble. When no one questions you, there won’t be anyway to grow high in the Career. I was so comfortable that there was no one to question me. Ands that’s why came the change.” But i will be missing you.
Yag – Me too. But all the best. Ciao tmrw. Bye da
Little devil left the place. Aryan sat for a while and started thinking. Doesn’t she miss me and is she is hiding her feelings or really happy for me?
Late evening, Yagnika got the call.Yah da, tell me whats up.
~A – am leaving tomorrow by Lufthansa at 1:45, security check in will be around 11 PM. Do come to send off me please.
~Y – Will try da. Since I might have concal in evening, but will make up anyway.
~A – hei Yag, whts this. So you won’t come na. It seems that you are happy to depart me.
~Y- Useless you are my best Friend, I told you I will make up by anyway.
~A- Chumma don’t lie. You won’t have time to mail me, message me, no time to reply to my messages too, no time to meet me up too. When I ask about this, you simply tell that you are busy. Ofcourse you are busy and I understand your situation, but don’t you have 2 minutes to spare for me. So you mean am just like your another friend and not a Best Friend. Are you not feeling sad to leave me dear?
~Y –Stupid, What’s the problem vyth you? It’s your career and future dumbo.
~A – See you are scolding me too. You gals are always like this. Tx mam.
~Y – ok kewl. I will come there 2 send of you. Happy …don’t make me to hang you again on the mouse.
It was late evening; all the friends came to send of him. Thank god she came up finally.Talking to all my friends so happily and wished him for a great time ahead there. Aryan tried to look at her eyes, but she looks happy. Oops. Am feeling so sad to leave her, but not even a sign of dull mood from her side.
He was expecting her to say, “Please don’t go…….I promise u I will never fight with you, I will never trouble you again, I will always answer your calls and meet u up frequently”, “Is this the last time we will see each other? Won’t we ever meet again?” with a pool of water about to splash from her eyes…….
Yagnika - Dude, You lost somewhere? Packed everytin or not, did you bought the Tinkle and chocolates?
Aryan – Yah da. Packed everytin (He just sat on the couch where no one around and called her). Hmm tell me da.
Yag – Nothing. You take care. Do well.
The flight was ready for departure and its time for security check in.
Seeing Yag, Aryan told bye to all and turned towards the check in counter.
Everyone started leaving and there the moment came. Yagnika was looking down with a drop a Tear coming from her Eyes and trying to wipe it before anyone looks her. That single drop of tears showed how much love and affection she has on him and Aryan realized someone had laid lashes to make him to understand the real love.
Aryan came back and stood there like a statue in front of Yagnika and told her “Voila…I know you my Best Friend”.
It was Raining all thru the city outside. Both were laughing at each other and Yagnika started rhyming…
Rain Rain go away,
Come again another day.
Little Aryan wants to Fly;
Rain, rain, go to Minnesota,
Never show your face again!

Yagnika Strikes - Part 3
Episode 6
The D day ends with lot of surprises and excitement but without a single wish from the Best Friend.
The worst part of enjoying Happy moment or falling sick is , your friend is not there with you.
While walking back on the evening, Aryan just met Yagnika.
Yag - Who the Hell you are dumbo, where did you lost all the day?
~ A – hei cmon I was very busy for the whole day, come lets go yaar. My Friend is falling in sick, I have to meet him. Will drop you on the way.
Yag – no way, I have some wrk dude.
~ A- u have to see him da. He just pulls her and started the car
Yag – so whts special 2day dear.
~ A – notin spcfc yaar. Just gone like that.
Yag - Hei Aryan where are you going da? Where is your Friend’s home?just wait for a moment.
They soon reached a place where a huge independent villa covered with big compound wall, engraved as “Avanthika Gardens”.
Once they entered, small cute, cheerful puppies ran towards them and jumped on them.
Yagnika – wow, so cute da. Your friend has so many puppies in home. I like these pups a lot. They are so cute. See that white pup. Its so cuteeeeeeee.
Aryan – Yah . All these are Lab and golden retriever pups and you like it dear.
Yagnika – If your friend is not here, I will take all these puppies to my home.
Aryan – Hei Yag, all these Pups are …..for you and and …Many More Happy Returns of the Day sweeto !!!
Yagnika started crying and tears fall down. You remembered my Bday, then why you hadn’t wished me stupid. I was waiting for the whole day dumbo.You are still hanging on the mouse in my desk
Aryan – haha…My wish was there in each wish you received yaar.
Yag – how come? Don’t play.
Aryan – Don’t you feel my presence in each wish?
It was me who called your Mum to make sure that her wish shud be first one.
It was me who reminded your 5th Std schoolmate.
It was me who called up your neighbor aunt to wish you.
It was me who informed your busmate to wish you.
Your onsite friend purposely stressed the word “Best Friend” to make you to guess how she knows your day.
You remember the Green rose, it was me who told the florist to give you the flower and sell you the Shrubs in surprise cheaper cost. More than that it was me who sticked the “Cute Art where a guy count the stars”. Do you remember, who is having the Habit of counting the stars even now (Rmbr the Blog post 12486 and goes on. ..The count is now 12984 :-) ). I thought you feel your Best Friends presence in these entire things. How come you are not able to recognize it? Now I am disappointed.
Yag – Heiiii sorry sorry very sorry dear. How stupid I am? So sweet of you. Sorry baba.Hmm. Tel me what you want me to do now.
Aryan – Notin just give me 1 KG of chocolates
Yag – hei common better scold me pls.
Aryan – Ok thn better give me 2 KG of choices. That’s it.
