4 June Mr. Perfect, Me n My Devil

The name of my blog is also the name of one of my favourite movies " Darling ". The movie Darling, is a lovely family entertainer in which actor Prabhas and actress Kajal Agarwal are children of college friends. Prabhas is in love with Kajal and wants to express his feelings to her during her ten-day stay at the get together of the college friends which is happening after a long-time. The remaining story is about his attempts to impress Kajal. A beautiful romantic story with superb songs, comedy and few twists here n there and with a very good climax (unlike the routine long fight between hero and villian). I feel sad for not being able to watch that movie in theater though I watched it so many times in my laptop :P  and the songs were the only songs on my mobile for a very long time. I dunno if I am any way near to Prabhas (character of Prabhas in the movie), but Nandini (character of Kajal in the movie) sure has all the qualities of my dream girl. :P

Now coming to the title of today's entry . Prabhas and Kajal acted opposite each other again in a recent movie and the name is 'Mr. Perfect'. Audio is really good and I had lot of expectations from the movie. Actually I was waiting for the movie from sometime in March itself. Nice family entertainer which I got to watch with mom n dad in the theater. I wouldn't talk anything about the story or else you might feel it is just the same old thing (which is not exactly right). I would just say it is worth a watch on a nice day with your family and the movie is still in theaters.
Nenu Na Raakshasi (translates into 'Me n My Devil' in English) directed by Puri Jagannath (the 'Pokiri' Director) and acted by Rana Daggubati ('Leader'), Illeana D'Cruz ('Devdas', 'Pokiri' and so on) and others is another movie I watch last month (in theater). I didn't get a good talk about the movie but still I was fixed on watching it because of a couple of things like, the hero is a professional killer, he is in love with the heroine who says she is going to commit suicide, hero's dialogue with the heroine (translated to English) " Listen to me. Marry me. Live with me for say ten years. Even then if you want to die then tell me. I will kill you myself " :P  etc. The movie was actually even better than I had expected. It was again totally different from what we see regularly. Not much of fighting in the climax, twists in the plot (some were expectable some weren't), songs were also fine, comedy might seem a little vulgar though. Bottom line "You may not want to watch it a second time but you wouldn't regret watching once". Oh ya one thing... Strictly not for Children or Families. Go either with your friends or with your girl/boy friend :D . So before you start thinking I have become a movie review writer I will put a stop here and try to come up with something different in my next entry.
Hope you are having fun this Summer.

31 May Naruto and now Fairy Tail

I had mentioned last year in one of the very first posts in my blog that I watch a lot of anime and I like them even more when they have story. Till a month back I was only following Naruto on a regular basis. Usually the manga is released once in a week unless there is a weekly jump. I read Bleach from beginning till almost the end. May be another 10 or 20 manga would put me up to date. But then I don't get that feel "Bleach Manga might have got released I should go check out". There have been days when I had opened internet during Thursday lunchtime just to see if Naruto got manga had released and now that Naruto is aware that his friends are fighting to save his life he is heading towards the battle field along with Killer Bee. After somewhat dragged yet interesting descriptions of the war (it would be awesome when the episodes of the war come)  the story is getting more and more interesting slowly. I couldn't start One Piece so I don't know how good it is, so I wouldn't comment on it. However there is this other Anime I started watching recently which I find as exciting as Naruto. It started in 2006. Authored by Mashima Hiro there are 236 manga and around 80 episodes have been released.

The Kingdom of Fiore. A neutral country of 17 million people. It is a world of magic. Magic is bought and sold there everyday. It is an integral part of people's lives. And there are those who use magic as their occupation. Those people are referred to as wizards. The wizards belong to various guilds and perform jobs on commission. There are large number of guilds within the country. And in a certain city (Magnolia) there lies a certain guild. A guild from which various legends were once born or rather, will continue to be born long into the future...and its name is : FAIRY TAIL.
Lucy is a celestial wizard and wants to join Fairy Tail. She meets Natsu (and Happy, Natsu's cat which can talk and fly) who comes to her town in search of Igneel. Natsu Dragneel is the Fire Dragon Slayer, the so called Salamander of Fairy Tail. By the end of first episode Lucy joins the guild. The remaining story is all about the incredible guild, Fairy Tail. Right from the background music to perverted comedy to the lovely bond they have with the guild everything is simply superb. I couldn't stop myself from reading manga after I finished all the available episodes. In case of Naruto there were episode which I didn't bother to watch as I had read the story in manga, but in case of Fairy Tail I look forward to watch all the episodes whose story I have already read. Though it is the second one to add to the list somehow I have got attached to it more ( that might be because I have watched too many fillers in Naruto :P )
Natsu, the fun he has on a job, guts to never give up, will to protect the guild and his search for Igneel along with all the comedy that he does for not being able to handle transportation :P . Its just brilliant along with Happy, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Gildarts, Mirajane, Master and the list goes on.. If you like anime I would say it is worth watching; actually you would love it (provided you don't mind some perverted comedy :P ).

26 May After So long

It has been really long since I wrote an entry in the blog. Was busy sometimes and sometime that flow of thought wasn't there. Not that I have something special to say today but there are a lot of things to say. Now where do I start. I will try to mention things in the chronological order, that should be best. Last I wrote was on 7th April. Then there was this SOLVE project review during which me Supreeth ( now the IE Convenor ) and Shravan Gurukar (another Pro Macha) had so much fun. This review was on a simulation lab on mechanics of machines, and we created things in Adobe Flash using ActionScript3.0 Well it was sure a great experience though we were working at the last moment as usual :P . That was on second half of the week as far as I remember. I worked till Sunday afternoon and finally got back to my room from SOLVE lab to study for my end sem exams which were starting the next day. Exams went well and ya the review was a great success (it was more successful not because we did great but because others didn't do much :P ). Then I stayed back after exams for a few days to work both for SOLVE as well as for BAJA. oh ya I am now in BAJA team of my college and Vivek got into team FSAE (sad that I haven't been much useful to the team. Hopefully I will do better in the coming months).Taught a few things about ActionScripting and Flash to few juniors who (hopefully) will help us in creating simulations during summer. 
Then finally I came back home on May 7 afternoon and started on the same day to attend a housewarming function of relatives. Then came back home on Tuesday and on Sunday came here. I am right now near Bhadrachalam (in Andhra Pradesh) doing my Industrial Training at ITC Paper boards and Speciality Papers Division and will be here till June 15.  That's pretty much what happened till now. Then of course there are things that happened which I haven't mentioned, like FSAE car unveiling ( something really sad happened, I heard the car was stopped at customs department at Chennai airport and got delayed for the event don't know the full story yet) and then the union elections and the placement coordinators elections (which were to happen before, but supposedly got postponed because of union elections :P no comments ) and of course the major project groups for which I tried to bring M1 and M2, the two mech classes together for a meeting which ended up being flop because there was some reluctance in informing people. Now our Department has taken some decisions due to which looks like everyone is facing and going to face the music. Well mention of the meeting flop reminds me that there is this thing called SEARCH which I started. no comments please :P.. it will be embarrassing as it also is in a near to flop stage :P . But my 9.38 sgpa for this sem tells me I haven't lost it yet. It tells me I can still achieve if I want to and I try hard and then of course there is this one of my favourite lines from my Prof. "Find a reason to do it" . Coming up is the one Final Year of my B. Tech., my last one and only chance to do some things joyous, useful, fruitful and worth remembering for everyone at NITK and I look forward to make it the most happy and memorable of all years at NITK not just for me but for everyone.

7 April The Accident

I was on this main road of Surathkal, right before Sadanand Super Market. I had to cross the road and reach the bus stop. I was completely lost in thought. You see, like in the movies, not being able to listen to the loud horns of heavy vehicles.
"The last thing I remembered before everything went blank was the driver of the vehicle which went right behind me yelling something in kannada or may be tulu, I can't even recognise which is which. I was totally out. No clue of what is happening. I felt someone lifted me and then again put me down. No sense of vision or sound. I was feeling as light as a feather but then I realised that there was no part of my body which was responding to my brain. I only knew my heart is still beating because I know I was thinking which means my brain was still getting blood. Did I get hit? Was it a fatal blow? Will I not survive? Is this "The End"? I was almost sure that it was all over? I started thinking about what was going to happen after me?  The faint light in my thought was getting fainter. I wanted someone to inform my parents. I thought of my belongings back at the hostel, I wanted some one to send them back to my parents. Then I thought of my friends. They wouldn't have to hear any more lame jokes from me. The only remaining Orangutan (as what Vishwas calls me) would be dead and there species would be extinct. People won't be bugged with all kinds of "weird-for-them-yet-interesting-for-me" ideas which I had. NITK will be little peaceful, at least the Grey Block B Wing, with one loud fellow gone.
It was almost over. Even the last bit of light had gone and it was then that I heard something from my heart.  'Oy ... I am still beating .... I will stop only when you give up because then there will be no one who would need me. If you don't respond then I will understand that you have already given up and I would stop beating this bloody blood, half of which is going out anyway'. I started thinking again. There was a light again. This time brighter than the previous one though. I told myself, come one man what life have I lived, never achieved anything, never took up any great task and finished successfully, never gave back anything to my parents, what about the things I have always wanted to do, what about the great time I have always wanted to spend with friends, what about the "be a royal mech" feeling of mine, who the hell will give me my B Tech for my five and half semesters study that too when I am dead, shit !! I just realised, I haven't even had a candle light dinner under starry sky on full moon night near the beach with my girl friend (for which I have to find a girl first which itself would take few more years). What!!!!! I just have to go back, I just haven't lived any life man and the light got brighter and things seemed to be getting back to normal I could hear voices and was getting back vision too. . . . . . . . ."
Man those thoughts were weird :P . They kept driving me to think even more about how to come back to life when at the verge of death. I finally realised that my bus had come and I was getting late, I had to go back to mess for dinner. I wonder if one can really avoid death just by the will to live. May be I am just thinking too much. I should put a stop here. Until Next Time.. have fun, take care.

Cheers

P.S. I may not have put this one so well but just for clarification ... all that is in double quotes is what I was thinking when I was walking the other day on the main road of surathkal. I had crossed the road when a vehicle was coming and as soon as I crossed the thought came to my mind "what if I had stopped mid way" and there it all started. Thoughts in the quotes are true, just that there was no accident. :) Please give your review to haithisisaditya@gmail.com

6 April New Year Wishes

It always happens with me. I keep getting thoughts and I think I will put them in my blog however by the time I come and sit in front of my computer I lose the feel of the topic and I put it away for another day. Same happened even now. I had read a blog of a friend of mine who had written his true story and it was superb. There was a lot of gravity in it, kept pulling me into itself, making me want to read more and more. There is an intermission write now while he is preparing the remaining part and no doubt that will be equally good. I also thought for a moment that I should write something like that but then I really doubt if I can put it all in good enjoyable words unless I am in a really good mood to tell about my life so I leave it for a future day.

There was a blog of another friend who had written about his brainwaves and it had reminded me that I had also thought of writing about some of my brainwaves, like how I thought E=mc^2 , the famous Einstein's equation might actually be equally valid in psychology or may be it comes under philosophy. Yet again I left it for another day. I have wanted to write about what thoughts come to my mind when I see the political world surrounding me, about how good it feels when I am with my professor and friends working till after midnight hours to achieve something, about how motivated I feel with the words of my professor like 'I am not willing to die'. Day before yesterday that is on April 4 I had been to the temple as it was Ugadi (Telugu New Year). There is this place behind the temple from where you can get a wonderful view of the ocean. I always go and sit there for sometime. I had lots of thoughts which I thought could become a blog article and yet that day I couldn't type in my blog. May be from next time I will open my blog as soon as I get some thoughts which I feel like typing in the blog.

Whatever it is the first year of Telugu New Year was good. It is considered that the rest of the year will be similar to the first day of the new year and so everyone tries to make their day as good as possible. Thanks to the almighty I had a good day and I hope the year ahead will be happy to me and also to everyone else in this world :) . Wishing you all a happy new year

23 March “XL IS NOT D SIZE BT D TALENT IN DEM”

 I very good friend of mine wrote this article. She doesn't have a habit of blogging and so I thought why not get a good entry to my blog. The content below comes directly from my dear friend. I have just added few comments below.

Luks r very important in 2dayz world may it be in job or relationships even in friendship, alas friendship has lost its essence, if u r beautiful u r accepted in d group, (peer pressure). How beautiful, how slim you are is all that matters to the other person. The beautiful heart, the intelligent brain are all secondary, all that is in is your luks...

Years back Personality meant how you are, completely as person but today personality means how sexy and alluring figure you have. Is your status 36-24-36?? Even that is outdated, its the “SIZE ZERO” dat is in. With people and their changing mentality and attitude even largest clothing brands are hesitant in producing “XL” Sized clothes.

Ask urself, is a beautiful face, slim body is all that is enough for your survival and complete living.

Y doesn`t a pure heart or a talented brain impress you anymore? Y? Y?

Human race has never progressed coz of any beauty queen, it has always advanced on the talent of Madam Curie, courage of Rani Laxmi Bai, support of Sudha Murthy, love of mother Teresa and so on. Did the world not accept them? Doesn`t the world respect them?? Then y not the common gals, just coz they don`t fit in “S” sized tops or just coz their jeans waist size is 36??

World watch out these gals would someday show you that what brain can do, a beautiful face cannot. At every step if you bully them, somewhere their self esteem is lost and all they become is what you call them “A SACK OF FATS”!!...

Accept them, encourage them coz trust me they really make a better daughter, better friend, better girlfriend, better wife and d best mother...

DEDICATED TO ALL MA GORGEOUS DOLLS OOPS SOORRRRYYYYY CUTE TEDDIEZZZZZ!!!!

This article from this beautiful friend of mine, who is a girl (seems pretty obvious from the article itself), is in my opinion a must read for those parents who think daughter is burden. Some poor parents think that if their daughter is not good looking then they might have to give more dowry and all that. Such a mindset might even cause cases of infanticide or may be abandoning of girl child or harassment. It is high time such parents realise that a girl child is as good as a boy and she can also do wonders if she is given the same amount of care and attention. Also my advice to those who feel bad about their looks. Pure mind and heart are more important than external looks.Your deeds and words leave a better impression on this world than just your looks. So don't feel inferior about such inferior things.

P.S. The title of the blog entry is the same as the title of the quoted article and was given by the author herself. May be on a day in future I will introduce to you this friend of mine by writing an entry on her.

21 March Don't want to give any sad name

It has been more than a month since I wrote my blog. It is always the same thing. When I am not spending time on anything I don't recollect anything to write in the blog and when I seriously have lots of thoughts in my head I don't get the chance to type them down. This is just another weird time at which I am typing down my thoughts, with a power cut in my hostel and loads of pending academic as well as project works and of course classes to attend in the morning tomorrow.
Actually there is no special topic on which I am writing today. The last time I wrote was on Avatar the cartoon series. After that there was Incident 2011 at NITK during which there were some incidents which finally developed serious consequences. Then after that came mid-sem exams which were quite okay and then I went home due to a death in the family. My GATE results came and I got 6894 rank (nothing good for what I want).
The whole point of me writing my blog at this moment is to forget this loneliness which I am feeling right now. I probably have got addicted a lot to talking and so sitting in room alone is making me feel lonely even though I have enough work to keep me busy for a complete month. Probably this is just another one of my depression time slot and I just need to give it some time to set everything alright. I don't want to make this any sad entry and give it some sad name and hence the title and that is why I put a stop right here right now.
Have Fun
Take Care.

P.S. Will try to come up with something more interesting soon.
