I have come across some things while browsing and felt like writing a post putting them.

BOYS are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The girls don’t want to reach for the good ones because they’re afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground, that aren’t as good, but easy to get. So the apples at the top think that there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. That is why we just have to be a little patient find the right girl. The one who takes a chance to find the good, right apple, will come someday…

I think the above thing will be same for GIRLS too. So, what I would like to say is that “True love does not come by finding the perfect person but by understanding the person perfectly”.
Here, by love I mean with anyone/anything , your friends/parents/lover/things.

Here is one more thing that I came across:

This is a small story to set life’s priorities right…

A professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.

He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with an unanimous “yes.”

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

“The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

“The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.

“The sand is everything else–the small stuff.

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

“The same goes for life. “If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you and for those who care for you and finally you will end up losing them.

“Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.

Then one of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked.

“It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a cup of coffee with a friend (who is a golf ball !!).

One of my close friends said “dude !! don’t be too good to everyone , It will hurt you someday”. It might be true (it is !!). Does one think in a way that one being close/good etc, means that he is dumb (a strong NO!!). But one will be so not to make issues (quite simple) so complex because it doesn’t even make sense that every time when someone says something different , then the other one should raise words against him/her. I also find one more thing around , it will be fine for one to make fun of other in any way but when that other one makes fun of this “one” they immediately get annoyed. Why do that happen always ??, If the other person is your friend, don’t he/she have a right to make fun of you sometimes as you make fun of them. Is it that only you should make and the other one should stay calm. So, set aside your so called “ego” with your friends because of which a lot of communication gap arises.

Some issues come up when people talk whatever they think. One can talk anything with their close friends as they know about you and can understand you, but w.r.t. others at least, its very important that you think before you talk (not always!!) because you have no right to hurt the person in front of you with your words. The society is not bothered about how you will be, I mean the way you are (one might talk straight [frankly], some others conserved , some others too much freely etc… ) , its so sensible that when you are living in a society one should live accordingly and has no right to speak/do whatever one wants. Some think of it but they view it in a different way , like , when one is talking he/she thinks that they can be in whatever way they like , but when coming to the person in front of them , they expect them to talk/behave according to the surroundings (”them” to be more particular). The same thing applies for others but not for you!! , How funny it is to think so.

One thing that bothers me is “Does one think of a friend as just a means of time pass (if it is so the one will be in serious trouble someday)”. It also happens so that people just think of friends as possession (I mean for the things getting done or something else). Friends are the best means with whom you can hang out and ask them things you need but it is not the only purpose if you think so. Think of a situation everyone around you avoiding you because of your behaviour etc… Its so obvious that you feel bad and get hurt because you feel that “there should be at least one around me who talks to me irrespective of my behaviour!!” and then you will find a true friend who tells you the things. Its again up to you to think about them and realize. It is foolishness to step into the same track again.

Friends are important to choose and one should be careful enough before calling one your friend because some people can be smart enough that they act through out the time with you. Hence one should not be carried away with their outer nature. A good friend stabs you in front saying the mistakes you do. Some people even say “your character can be decided by looking at your friends” (of course I don’t comment on this [:)]).

This is about a happiest moment that I had experienced during the exams time and its because of my dearest friend’s arrival i.e. my dad. The moment when he first saw me I was on a bike. I picked him up near the gate and came to the hostel. In the meantime, my friends managed to make my room look better than it usually is because of the mess all over. Here comes “My father” , Samrat who happened to be the first to see him among the people out there, greets him with a “hello uncle !!! baagunnaraa ??”. Then “Kranthi” comes into the picture , well my father used to talk to him on phone but he never knew him by face , he always used to ask about his meeting with kranthi and I guess that that day has come. They both were talking to my dad. Meanwhile I had to go and wake up the people around (charan , girish , ambati etc..). No sooner he saw these guys he wished them “Good Morning” (They just woke up, it was 6:00 PM guys !!). Charan and Girish entered the room and started talking to my dad and asked him for a treat and it was then that he asked “am I disturbing you people in exams time??” , suddenly we all looked at each other faces and laughed loudly thinking that “these parents think that we study for the exams rigorously … poor people !!”. My dad is smart enough to guess it .Anyways he knows all these as he had gone through these days and also I tell him everything (everything !!).

The conversation was going on funnily and in the mean time I was introducing all of my friends in GHEB first floor to him. Here comes “Vijay Bharat” with a Nagarjuna “Hii !!” like the one in the Super movie !! , Thats a moment that you just can’t afford to miss. With Charan saying “aakalii !!” (thats what he generally does) we all went to the coffee shop. Then he asked about some of my other friends , Harshita , Namrata , Navatha etc.. , He met them before he left (he had been here around just for two hours hmmm !!).When he was talking to them , harshi started saying “Uncle I did that just to make fun of him and book him”, because of some funny things that happened on phone between her and my dad ,then he replied “I take them lightly !! don’t worry” (that was his regular style … but that happened to be a blast for her), After spending sometime with them the time for departure has come.

I wondered why was it that he had to leave so early.

I miss my home !!!.

His full name - Rahul Sharad Dravid. With a strong technique he has been the backbone for the Indian cricket team. Beginning with the reputation of being a defensive player who should be confined to test cricket, he was droppped from ODIs as he was slow in making runs. Of late , however , Rahul Dravid has defied early perceptions to become the mainstay of the Indian batting line-up in the ODIs as well as in Tests.His nick name “The Wall” has now become the tribute for his consistency. With his technical batting proficiency and stylish strokes he has been one of the main pillars of Indian batting.

Dravid’s amazing run was no triumph of substance over style,though , for he has plenty of both. A classical strokeplayer who plays every shot in the book. He often outscores teammates like Tendulkar in the course of partnerships with them, and while his pulling and cover-driving is especially breathtaking. He is one of the few Indians who average more at aw
ay mathces than at home.He is one among the only three batsmen to hit Test centuries in four consecutive innings.

He was involved in two of the largest partnerships in ODIs with Sourav Ganguly and with Sachin Tendulkar and the only batsman to have been involved in two ODI partnerships exceeding 300 runs.He has the record of the Highest score by a wicketkeeper in a world cup. He was named one of the Wisden cricketers (Wisden group a british media company and is the main publisher of cricket in U.K) for the 1999 World Cup with two hundreds and highest aggregate. He was awarded the innaugural Player of the year award and the Test player of the year by the ICC. He is the first captain to lead India to a Test match victory against South Africa on South African soil.
Hmmmm it goes on as I keep on saying on Dravid (I am a big fan of him :D)….. lets wish him and his teammates good success in England tour :)

PS0 : No cricticism on Dravid plzzz ……. of course you can boast him up :D.

PS1: Bhanu heres the post ….  :)

There’s something hiding !! (my love)
waiting for a moment expressing.
Is that you are searching for a reason to be loved
Its just that I don’t even try

One thing you can be sure of
I’ll never ask for more than your love
Its not that I love you because I need you
But I need you because I love you

don’t know what to say
how did I fall in love with you … (so hard !!)
I’ve tried so hard to hide it
But I guess it reveals , when you look into my eyes

When I look at you
I feel something rare
And there’s no one
I know that I can compare

You got something so real
You touched me so deep
You’re all I need , my love
what makes you so different ??

I’d go out of my mind
If you ever left my heart behind
I ought know that I owe my life to .. ….

$$$ … I confess he is my greatest friend in the cue. I and my dad have the greatest time pass by teasing each other :) . One day (early in the morning :( !!!! )he woke me up saying that there is something written about you in the paper , I was so excited about that … (about me wowwww ) and finally what he showed me is an article written in Hindu paper about insomnias , nocturnals ( I think you can understand why he showed me that :) as an IIITian ). I had a word to word with my dad on that time and I was so frustrated that he woke me up in the early morning (bcozz its the time i went to bed) .

He knows me inside out … let it be in studies or whatever, theres something that i should tell you frankly … I hate my bro Surya coming to studies (he studies a lot … keeps on working on books huuuuuu how great to be so) because I hardly open my books (my books seems to be untouched even after the year of the academics). The routine dialogue from my parents “your brother is just one year elder than you … how come that he studies and you not .. learn from him idiot ( ee bobby gadi routine kadha … bobby is my pet name :D)”.

An awesome cook !!!! :P On a fine day (my mom was not at home) we got an idea of cooking ourselves and become the great !!!!!! (again dad was cooking and me making fun of him :D).The way he was cooking seemed to be so confused and so had a lot of questions in my mind before going for it. But I swear his cook was awesome (in a +ve way).He is an impeccable banker and doesn’t care for no one in his duty (for which i was afraid of :(  ), he is my best advisor and encourages positive thinking. He is one among that i wish to talk all the day.

Now that this post seems to be endless as I keep on writing on him …..  dad you are my greatest gift in the world.

Google is now a brand name. Named after the mathematical word gogool (meaning ten raised to the power hundred or simply, hundred zeros after one), it has emerged as a leader in cyber life in almost no time. Here I would like to put forward somethig interesting about it and its culture.
Have you ever wondered how many members work in its headquarters at the Amphitheater Parkway? Not hundred, not five hundred. It’s lierally four thousand! And have you ever wondered how do they work in such a cumbersome atmosphere. Won’t you wonder if I say that the most influencial thing is the “Cafeteria” of Google which keeps them all together!!!
Yes, it is the “Cafeteria”. It is said to be a place which keeps the members ‘in’ the office, working for hours. This place contains many types of food for various cusines like Italian, Chinese, African, Indian(!), etc. and the menu itself is said to be mouth-watering. A review of those menu items indicates that the tastes of Google’s employees are as diverse as their national and ethnic backgrounds.

It includes scrumptious-sounding dishes such as Ahi Tuna & Avocado Poke, Eggplant Ratatouille, Pollo en Huerto, Seared Day Boat Scallops in Green Coconut Curry Sauce, Arugula with Dried Apricots, Sauteed Wild Mushrooms, Spinach Lentil Dal and Tropical Shrimp Bisque soups, Hazelnut Shortcakes with Plum Compote, Chocolate Coconut Cheesecake and Creamy Lemon Macadamia Nut Cookies. Not exactly your typical corporate cafeteria fare!

All these items are for “FREE”

The company is known for employing some of the best and the brightest people in the world and its menu offers no less of a global all-star lineup.
Providing good food in a corporate setting is not unusual. The executive dining room has been a fixture in many companies throughout this country for decades. What Google is doing is simply providing all its workers with the same top quality cuisine that other companies lavish on their top executives. If it’s good for the top brass why not do it for the rest of the company?

Other tips (to keep its employees ‘healthy’) offered include avoiding exposure to brain-cell killing lead (Google is a lead-free work environment), wiggling your toes frequently to activate nerves that stimulate the brain (sandals are de rigueur fashion at Google Labs), taking short naps to enhance the information processing capacity of the brain (Google Labs’ engineers can take cat naps whenever necessary as long as they “refrain from drooling on their keyboards”), exercising to increase blood flow to the brain (Google’s campus offers a weekly “Wetlands Walk” among other exercise opportunities) and sharing your big brain with the world (Google Labs allows staff to spend 20% of their time working on projects of their own).
