Love for Blogging.

Blogging has become my passion off late. I do not really know why - or may be I can dwell more into that a little later to ponder why I like it. I am thinking like crazy for topics to blog. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that I like to do something different, as always, or it is because blogging has become a buzzword of a software engineer these days. Whatever may be the reason, but baseline - I like to blog !

It all started with Orkut. Orkut is an online portal for getting back in touch with our old friends or to keep in touch with some associates. We can look into the profiles of the individuals and add them as friends. One of my Juniors from college invited me to Orkut. I accepted his request and created my own profile on the portal. Initially I was not very much into this. I felt that this is for people who want to flirt online with girls or guys. But when I saw my own friends who are no way interested in online flirting and stuff like that, I felt this is something interesting. Usually, I get bored with these online flirting stuff. It looks very artificial for me. If you admire some one, or if you want to have a relationship with a person, just go ahead in person and propose. If he/she accepts, well and good, otherwise - anyway it was not going to work out, what is the point in flirting ;-) As you can see, I keep going away from the point that I try to say. Ok, I was mentioning about Orkut. I started liking orkut not only due to the profiles of my own friends, but also for many other features like "Scrap", "testimonial" and "Send a message" features. There are so many communities in Orkut apart from individuals. We can get subscribed to any of the communities. I got myself subscribed to IPV6, CCSP, CCNP etc. I also got subscribed to HCLTechnolgies, PESIT (my college) etc.

When I looked at the profiles of some of my friends - whose intellectual thinking I have always been admiring, I found one thing in common - many of those had a link to their blogs. I opened their blogs and read them. Some were pouring out the intelligent thoughts, some were simple day-to-day activities blog and some were leisure time writings. Some were just some links to the online interesting material. I liked these things very much and decided to log. But then, I was not sure what to blog. Whom to show those blogs to. May be I can have a seperate blog for my technical learnings, a separte blog for my personal diary kind of thing and another one for something to be shown to my frieds - something that I write in leisure time. I used to write some emails to Maverix about my childhood memories. I tried to get those emails from my outlook but in vain. I had lost all my emails sometime back. So I asked a friend to forward those to me so that I can blog them ;-)

Well, I need to start blogging now, so see you and bye.

When I was 5

RAMCHANDER'S AGE : 5 Years
CLASS : 1

During dinner...

DAD:"Ramu....Why did you abstain from eating Beetroot. You should eat it. It has Iron content in it and Iron is very important to the human body. You better eat it!! "

RAM :"If Iron is so important to body, I will eat small pieces of Iron only. I wont eat Beetroot".

Funny incident on Brigade

One funny incident on brigade road....
I had the habit of teasing girls on Bangalore roads.A different style of teasing while riding a bike and some different style while walking.While walking, if some girl is nearing me, I would justbend down in front of her...a jhalak, you see.She would scream, and take a step back suddenly.Then, I would pretend as if I am tying my shoe lace. Then she would think it is genuine case of 'lace tying'.
One day, as usual, I was going with my friends on Brigade Road.One girl came in her skirt. As usual, I bent down in front of her.She screamed but lo!!guess what happened this time ? ;-)There was no lace in my shoe that I wore on that day!! ha ha ha....

A song from Childhood memories

Was remembering this incident yesterday.....
When I was in UKG, I used to stay in Hyderabad.I used to feel a little uncomfortable when some one sings songs.Becuase, I never knew any song lyrics !!All my friends ( they were all my neighbors, Rajesh-10th class,Pappu - 8th, Sunny-9th and Lalli didi-don't know ) used to hum some songs when they get bored or when they find leisure time.I used to observe them and feel where do they get songs from. I never knew that there is something called as "Movie" and there will besongs in the movie. We did not have a TV at home.
On a Saturday afternoon, was happy as it was a half a day and need not sit in the all boring class room and listen to boring lessons.But then, did not know what to do , after all, I did not even know to sing a song !!
( A little about our house: It is not just an independent house. It had 8 housesin single compound wall, huge and huge place to play and lots of big trees and greenery.And all the friends/neighbors are only from these 7 houses!!).
Then and there, I decided that I will sing some song. Then, I went out the compoundwall, leaning myself to one side of gate pillar, decided to sing !!!Sing what ? Ok fine. Then I started singing.....
"Singing" went on for around 45 minutes. I was so happy that finally I sang a song.Some people on bicycle saw me singing. But I do not know them neither do theyknow me. So I ran to my granny, and told her that I sang a song.Then she asked me what song. Then I repeated the same song again for her.I repeated the song that time for her, and now, for you all....( Abriged version )
"shaaalaaa looooo kaaaa peeeeeeooooooooooolamchakaaaaaaa......." ;-)
