Doordarshan

Hmm Doordarshan, the name itself makes me feel the old times, the theme music, the screen, the Logo, the news and especially the telugu news reader Syamsundar.

I must say the song Mile Sur made me think of Doordarshan.

I grew up watching Doordarshan since my child hood till my Undergraduation. It was after the 1st year of my Btech we had cable in our house.

Those were the days we used to have a small Onida Television in our home and we did not had cable connection mainly because my sis and bro were in higher classes. We used to watch Doordarshan. I still remember the days we used to get excited on Fridays as they air

Chitralahari for 30 mins.  A movie on Saturday or Sunday I do not exactly remember. Hahha I laugh at it now looking at the privileges we have now. What a change we have made through generations. Every thing is just a click away from us. Hats Off to technology. Remembering Doordarshan made think to write a post on it. I will come with some more stuff on it.

Every Friday our entire family sits in front of TV for Chitralahari. My father eats Chapatis on Saturday and we used to feel like festival  on that day and watch the movie or serials that are broadcast. As my mom is a working women, we never had tiffin in our home, we used to eat curd rice in the morning and go to school. Even today my mom does not make Tiffin. That is why I think in my family neither me, my sis nor my brother gets excited for Dosa, Idli etc  or in fact for food. 

And Every Sunday when we were in chittoor we used to take head shower and it has become a ritual form my mom to cook Pulihora (Ready made mix) with lots of cashews in them and me, my sis and my bro we used to watch jungle book, shaktimaan, Mahabharat, Ramayan, Allauddin.

Here is the Theme Music of Doordarsham pardon me for poor quality, could not find much better one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdDx4oElM6I

Mile Sur Mera Tumhara

I Thank my friends who have encouraged me and gave some positive feed back for my blog.  As every body says encouragement is the food for success and to go ahead. I have been studying since morning and thought I should update my other blog tonight. I hope I will update that one too often.

Today morning as I was having my coffee I was just looking at the news and suddenly I realized something. I have read yesterday or day before yesterday in some movie sites that there is a sequel for Mile Sur Mera Tumhara as Phir… Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, OMG believe me I was excited to watch the video but to my sad it really was not up to the mark. It was not as I expected it to be. Of Course no one cares for my opinion here. I did not gave that IMPACT as the old one did. I liked the old song better.

If you like to watch the song, I have provided the link below, give it a click believe me its worth watching if not for song at least for the unity.

Friends Theme Song

So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but...
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)
Your still in bed at 10, and work began at 8
Burned you breakfast so far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees - and
No-one could ever know me
No-one could ever see me
Since your the only one who knows - what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even in my worst I'm best with you
It's like you're always stuck in 2nd gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year

A New Start

Just downloaded a new template and I could not wait how would it look. It looks awesome. Yesterday I took an oath that I will start a new Life, new thinking, every thing I wanted to do new. Leave my past and forget everything.

As part of my new resolution I changed the look of my blog. I thought when I look at my blog it should look bright, energetic, bubbly everything with a positive vibe. Of course, the color theme is same but I inculcated as much color I can into the blog changing colors. guess what the template I have downloaded is 'a new bright day'. I thought nothing could aptly fit the name of my blog.


Keep it up!

Be Hopeful and Be careful

Never in my dreams I thought I would go through the trauma I had been since last week. Do not know what to do or think, everything seemed hopeless to me. There was a certain point I thought THIS IS IT. I have to accept it and face the fact. I was grown up coming across this proverb very often when people comforting others when they are trouble, when they are upset and when they are drowned. I never imagined that it would come in handy to me. There will be sunrise after every sunset. It really happened to me. I was drawn from no hope to the belief that Yes everything is possible in this world and yes there is every chance of miracle that can happen to anyone at any time.

Do not take Life for granted, you have to do somethings to take care of your life. No body would come and take care of your life except you and Only YOU.

Smoking Is Injurious To Health

You buy a cigarette, even though you are aware that it is harmful to you and the people around you especially your family.

I have known my father as the healthiest person in my Family. He has no ailments. It is true that he would taking pills for the minutest pains like headache, Body pains. But he takes them even though the pains are bearable and would suffice with out a pill. It has become a habit in fact a ritual for him to live on pills. Where ever he goes he will carry a bag of pills as if it is his asset. You name a pill he has it with him. My sister, me and my mother used to make fun of this and make jokes as if he has become a doctor with out degree.

But jokes apart, seriously there are lot of people who love you, who care for you. We used to fight with my Father  to quit smoking. There has been lot of arguments on this issue but in vain. He used to justify saying nothing will happen to him. 

My father has bad eating habits. He eats lot of ghee, sweets, oil foods and an added advantage smoking. He can justify us with words but not his health. The truth has come yesterday that he has got heart attack early in the morning at 6.00 AM and was rushed hospital and sent to ICU. Now he is doing fine. The doctors revealed the main reason being smoking.

As I heard the news I was devastated, my mind became blank. I did not know what to do. I hated my inability and  inevitability to be with my parents when they are in need of their beloved ones. What an earth  can I do to be there with them. 

All I can say is Stop smoking/drinking/drugs. Cultivate or make it a habit you eat good and healthy food. Do not think because you are in your 20's or 30's nothing will happen now. But the habits that come along your way in your life now cannot be changed in the later stages of your life. The sooner you start the better your life would be. After all we are trying to be happy and make our family happy. This is not only to my family but my friends too.

Delightful Flight Delights

Yesterday I came back home from my university place Louisiana. I took a flight 11.25 in the morning. I aboard the flight and slept as soon as I got in to my seat. I had a stop in Memphis and I was really very hungry as I did not eat anything since morning hence I was thinking of having some food in the Memphis airport but I was not left with much time to aboard my next flight to Tampa. Hence I bought a coffee from Starbucks and I wanted have some snack especially something sweet. So I was looking at sconces and Morning buns but I am very sure that I would not be eating the whole sconce hence I dropped the idea of buying one. But luckily they had a sample of chocolate chip scone big enough to satisfy my craving to eat some thing sweet, hence I grabbed one and went to my gate for boarding the flight. Even though I had coffee I was very much hungry and hence I thought to buy some thing and eat in the flight. I ordered Flight delights which consists of Pita Bread, Hummus, Energy Bar, Almond, Dried Apricots and a miniature deck of playing cards. I was about to pay for my food with cash but the flight attendant told me that they will not accept cash but credit cards. I did not wanted to pay with my credit card and hence I told them I would just have water, but a lady sitting opposite to me offered that she would pay for my food using her credit card and pay her the cash instead. Thanks a lot. Off all the Flight Delights package I was very excited about miniature deck of playing cards, OMG they are so cute to look at. Finally my hunger was fed with something good.

I reached Tampa at 5.00 in the evening and my sis and BIL came to pick me up. We reached home around 8.00 in the evening and I slept early as I was tired.

Friends Forever!

Hmm I think the person who is reading this would be knowing whom I am intending to point at. Thanks a lot for all the help you did to me and the concern you have taken. I still remember the days we fought in the beginning of our friendship days.

He has been with me in my best and worst times. Even though I did not pick his calls a ton of times and gave genuine reasons why I  missed his call, he never believed( AM I RIGHT?!). we do not talk much may be 2 times in a month or two. But I believe when ever we talk we have that level of comfort. We had our part of big and small fights and arguments over food, studies and everything, but he guided me and gave mental support in tough times. I believe I was not that help to him but he was to me.

I thank you very much for every thing "DSP RAMACHANDRA", of course you are right it is you Ramakrishna Yalagandula. Hope our friend ship lasts forever.

A worst Trip Ever!

Yesterday was a really hectic day for me. I had plans of coming to go to my university place to complete my personal stuff. I had to catch flight early in the morning 5.30 AM. I was supposed to reach my destination 10.00 AM  but flight got delayed in Florida because the airplane wings frosted because of the cold weather. My flights constantly got delayed through the entire trip. My route is from Tampa to Atlanta and from atlanta to Louisiana. But because of the flight delay in Tampa I reached Atlanta late and  I was told there are not much flights from Atlanta to Louisiana. So I was re routed from Atlanta to Memphis and from Memphis to Louisiana. I finally reached Louisiana at 4.00 PM. I took a cab from airport to my apartment. I forgot my bag in the cab and again called the Cab service center and they told me that the cab driver has left my bag on the side walk infront of my apartment. Later I went down stairs and luckily mine was not lost. When every thing was done it was 7.00 PM in the night. I was totally tired as I was awake since 2 days without any sleep. 

After meeting my old room mates has some dinner and went to sleep.

Pulling Hair Obsession

Have you been into pulling your hair without your knowledge? or Are your hands tend to always touch your hair or do something with your hair? then you might be a victim of Pulling Hair Obsession.

I did not observe this behavior until I read the pulling hair obsession  posted by my brother in law chaitanya. When ever I am in stress or low, or feel tensed, I used to pull my hair especially the middle section of my hair. I had this since my childhood. I have observed the same with my mother. She used to touch her hair especially in the middle section of scalp and pull hair. When I was doing this I thought I got the habit looking my mother doing that. But I learned that I am doing that out of stress.

After I read the article I looked in the mirror to my shock I could clearly see a thumb size area was gone bald in the middle section of my hair. Since then I stopped pulling my hair. It took me more than 3 months to get back the hair that I lost because I used to pull the hair from the root. But I could not resist me touching the hair. I soon observed when I am in stress, pressure or disappointed I repeated the same behavior but without pulling it as I was aware this time. You can read about the article  Read The Post Here

Thanks to B-I-L for posting information about stress because of whom I realized I was a victim of it and helped me come out of it. Now When I am stressed I divert myself listening to songs, watching Television, reading a booking, chew gum.

Year 2009

I think it would be better for me to not rewind my experiences in year 2009. I never ever want to think about 2009 and I am happy it is all over.

Wish You Happy New Year 2010! --- Know Yourself Much Better This Time

Wish You A Very Happy New Year, I hope this year would be a hope for joy, success, happiness and everything. So many people try to make some resolutions every year to get rid of some bad thing in their lives and I really appreciate them, while others feel this a year with full of opportunities and hopes and I am one among them.

I am like every one who would like to know what is in store for their future a head. The first thing I did after clock hitting 12.00, the moment I entered 2010 was to go online search for 2010 horoscopes and read my zodiac sign even though I used to convince my heart every time that this does not come true.

I used to believe in god when I was a child, infact at that age I do not honestly know what god means and why do we pray for god. Later I never had to pray for god to ask for anything not that I did not had any bad times in my life but my ignorance that there is a supernatural power that can help us solve our problems. Some times we say Ignorance is bliss and this has come true for me because the tougher the time gets the more I believed in  myself, trusted my heart, followed my intentions and it really helped me to overcome situations where nobody can do anything about it. I learned in my life some times we are responsible for our lives and not others and if anything goes wrong blame us not others and not even god.

I was surrounded by people some of them  say to believe in god, some say not to believe in god and I am so confused what to follow for so many years. I came to a conclusion to follow my heart and mind, it some times say that there is god and sometimes there is no such thing and I blindly follow my heart.  I see some people including me who pray to god in some bad situations I do not feel wrong about it, I know at that time we feel helpless, we feel hopeless, we feel lonely, we feel powerless and I do believe it is a right thing to do believe in some power which no body till today knows exists or not, after all we are trying to get out of the situation by taking some help what if it is some super power or us the thing is we are trying to be happy. I feel it is okay to hang on to our selves or some super power to hope something good comes in our way and do something instead of getting depressed and do nothing.

I am not against nor in favor of god or an agnostic but I do not think about god. There are times when I am very low I listen to devotional songs, There are some times during festivals I play chants, but these all makes me feel I am at home( coz I was grown up listening to these songs since my childhood) and I am surrounded by my people who love me for what I am and if anything goes wrong they are there for support if at least not for help. May be if I were grown by listening to pop music, hip hop I might feel at home listening to them who knows.

Any way I believe this new year would help me and challenge me in different ways to see myself much more closer and love myself  more.
