Reading...

So to my next passion..reading...I inherited this I believe.My father used to read a lot and so ther was no shortage for books .He definitely encouraged me to read a lot.He wanted me to buy good books and read.So the initial encouragement was there.My mother is not that passionate about reading.But she and my achchamma(father's mother) used to say that they found it very difficult to make me sleep.I always had soome book during the night time .The passion was within me untill I went to college.

In college I changed from a person who had a small circle of frns to a class leader,an association secretary,quintessence(annual tech pgm in our college) convener...all in one...
The transformation was very drastic and I forgot and lost many of the good(perhaps bad also) qualities I had.Reading was just one of them....I have a lot to speak on my experiences abt being a leader.Tht I shall do later.Now I want to concentrate on my reading more...

Bangalore provided me with more time than I got at TVM.To be frank I also liked the work atmosphere and the people there more.So wat to do durin the free time?Ofcourse my cousin would take me to anywher I want.But I want to find some other means.He was workin in the same field as I am.So we often discussed a lot on tht.He gave me some books on graphics.And I started readin it..but he immediately understood tht i was not concentratin on it.One day durin one of our outings he took me to Landmark in The Forum in Bangalore,a very large book stall..He told me "go and pick a suitable book..dont worry abt the cost..i shall get u another book 4 u" ..So I got two books.....The one he chose was a superb one...I began to read tht with lots of interest...

And I brought back my good old habit to me...I used to read untill 12 pm/1 am...and i began to grasp a lot of things which i felt i missed while readin in th past...Now i am readin..even at tvm:)
Yesterday I slept at 3 am..Sleep is not an hindrance for me and has never been unless it is for readin academic stuffs.:) I am planning to continue like this...This habit has given me a lots of ideas abt frnship,relationship,various outlooks etc which I shld hve understood earlier..but better late than never..

Well I didnt read much b/w 7pm and 10 pm...tht was because another passion ...cricket..took those hours..........Abt tht in the next post:)

Acceleration..............

The word that captured my mind wen i reached Bnglre.I felt it when I was on the way to bglre on the flight.But I became crazy abt it wen i reached bglre and started drivin on the roads in bbglre.I was not tht passionate abt drivin and Bglre was not so popular for people who r
passionate for driving.but not my cousin.He had driven at 210 kmph in the outer ring road and i have experienced it and the high speed made me crazy abt drivin .

Corrolla was the car tht he owned and i never expected me to get a chance on tht superb car...
wen i got it i drove in the manner i used to do in kerala..and this did not satisfy my cousin resultin in me crossin the 150kmph for the first time in carrier.......
i never enjoyed drivin like this ........now i m mad abt drivin....drivin car.......
i felt the acceleration ........the mighty aceleration of corrolla which took me past the 150kmph within seconds........i was not able to believe it....Now i m very crazy abt drivin cars....my mother used to push me to drive wen i reach home.......now i used to push her to give a chance to drive.........the acceleration and speed had captured me........i don like to drive in traffic filled roads wer u hve to follow the rules and go slow.........
Within few weeks after tht we went for kartin...ther also i didnt want to stop drive but i stopped because of the big amount we hve to pay for drivin again.......
i got a chance everytime we wwent out and everytime we went i got crazier and crazier abt the speed.....
now if u ask me abt my passion i will say drivin along with readin........
the other pasion was within me for several years.......but it came out and bloomed under the
guidance of my cousin whom i owe a lot now....
tht in another postin.........

Bangalore.......haaaaaaai and aaaaahhh...........

Going to Bangalore never rouse my exctement as I regarded it as something usual for any person working in the IT field. So I left for Bangalore as I go for anyother journey on 26th April 2007.
Never evr I expected the things that wer supposed to happen to me in bglre.
I stayed along with my college friend for the first two weeks .During the first two weeks itself I saw almost all of my college mates in Bangalore.After that I went to stay with my cousin.This cousin was almost an unknown factor for me.The main reason was the age gap.He is older than me by about half my current age.I have met his wife only once. So you people can guess how strong how relationship was.
But everything was about to change and I never ever expected that much.The last period of my stay in Bangalore really turned out to be the most eventful period in my life physicaly,mentaly,technically and emotionaly.I experienced the heights of happiness and excitement and at the same time the bitter taste of sadness and mental pain.So let me take you through a small journey that will tell you about my bglre days and the changes that i feel i am undergoing as a result of that.
