Thats it..She was typing something in the computer..I thought I had got my visa by then..But there was some technical prob wid the comp..waited for abt 2mins..Then came the word i was longing for--
UR VISA IS APPROVED SIR, U ll get it within a week...

My tips-
1)Be confident in whatever u say..Dont hesitate and take too much time while answering..U may say something wrong..but say it confidently.

2)Presence of mind- U know..their accent is little soft..n hence their voice turns out be low..Ask politley if u havnt heard properly..Dont care abt others speaking..just focus on urs..

3)There may be all rejects infront of u..But dont panic..u may be the 1st one to get..

A Memorable Train Journey!!

It was an awesome train journey on 15th march 2010.Thanks to Shiva, Siddu, Srinath, Mahitha and Harsha for making it so special. We started of by playing a game called "Black Magic"..loved playing it...its so nice when we all turn out to be childlike n play such games..:)

Then Harsha n Mahitha got down in Tirupati and I thought it wud be another boring train journey...but I was proved wrong..Shiva started of narrating his scripts he had written..his dream of becoming a director sometime..hope it comes true..his stories were creative and novel too..Then he talked abt his love life..yes,shiva is committed unlike rest of us..:(

This was all the minor part of it..Then we got engaged into some really gud discussions..which I think is a rarity among youngsters..Our talks turned philosophical...We had discussions on Indian Politics, Service, current affairs...Each one of us shared our experiences...we shared our ideas..how this country could be a better place to live in..And amazingly all our views in diff issues were the same..Its so gud to have disussions among like minded people..All of us were very keen on doing seva and helping out the poor...As everyone were interested in doing service to the society..I said..being a volunteer of "The Art of Living"..I wud know if thers any gud deed happening..and all of them were interesting in contributing their part..lucky to have frens like them..I think I should write another post on "SEVA"...my experience on it..and my experience being part of "The Art of Living" foundation...

Awesome 2some!!

Just when the telugu film industry is going nuts and the films going really baseless, these 2 movies arrived-Leader and Ye Maaya Chesave. The audience were fed up by the illogicality of the movies being produced. The top directors in tollywood failed continously in their attempts except for a few ones such as S.S Rajamouli, Shekar Kammula. People look for change,something different yet logical in the movies they are going to watch. I personally lost interest in telugu movies and decided that, I m gonna watch them only after getting a +ve review on them. Then these 2 awesome mind-blowing movies...


Leader is a master piece from Shekar.Its reflects the current state of Indian politics, how corrupt the system is. It shows how a young leader (not a politician) could rule the party and the state...n eliminate corruption after his corrupt father (prevsly as CM) dies. I personally felt that the story concept is excellent and could be worked out in real life too..I argue with my friend Karthik a pessimist who believes Indian politics is corrupt, it has to be like that and stays like that forever...He thinks he ll become CM one day..God save Andhra Pradesh!!..:P



Another movie that enthralled the audience was Ye Maaya Chesave. This one s simple love story b/w a telugu hindu boy and a malyalee christian girl. Gautham menon was in his directorial best...Its a wonderful heart-touching movie...after a long long time in telugu. Another add-on to this movie was A.R Rehman. The music was mesmerizing...rehman at his best as always..love u..:). And one girl that wooed the audience was Samantha(Jessie)...the female lead...She s simple,cute and sexy. I personally am crazy abt her. Her debut can be termed as one of the best debuts in tollywood. Even the voice did the magic for her. I watched the movie many times..and will watch it..it just cant be erased from mind that quickly..Hail Gautham,Rehman...and love u Samantha...:)

Go Chargers!!

Yes! I am an ardent fan of Deccan chargers.May be bcoz Hyderabad was where I was born and brought up.I simply cant support any other team when DC s playing..even sachin's team MI. To add to this,I ve even bought 3 Deccan Chargers T-Shirts till now.I must say Gilly with his excellent leadership qualities led DC to victory in IPL-2. Hope history repeats...and DC retains in IPL3.

Just Started!!

Hurray!! Just created my blog. Though I dont believe in stuff like auspicious days in starting off n all, I do believe that whenever I start anything new thats an auspicious moment for me.:)..
