KIAMS..final destiny

I told about all the places which has made me a person of which i stand today...
The final destination which God had for me is HARIHAR, where there is a management college called Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management(KIAMS).

I came here after getting qualified by giving XAT. I was intially very happy to get an admission here , as i wanted to move away from techy stuff. I entered this campus just like any gal with loads of ambition,dreams and hope(lill did i kno all these will be shattered soon).

KIAMS,where do i start to tell about this place.As i entered here, i was not satisfied with the hostel room allocated to me as it was 3 sharing .This was THE beginning of the endless problems which came up and is still there even today. This placehas something in it thats for sure(i guess it is jinxed) . I have never felt happy wholehearetdly here.( May be my problem,but then i have many of my classmates sharing the same prob).I enjoy , i have fun but at the end of the day i feel i m alone and helpless.

I am very happy with the course offerings...i m learning a lot..but then at what cost ..thats what i ask myself. I really cant find the answer .

Who am I and why I m doing this to myself?? The question remains and i hope that i find the answer before I leave this Coll.

Chennai at its best!!!!

Chennai!!!!!
I had imagined a lot of things about that place before going to join Polaris(my first company) which is headquartered there. When i went there my imagination was completely wrong i was in state of shock when i entered the city,the smell was intolerable gosh!!!(no offense meant to any chennaites,I love the city now for its own culture and values).

The city is completely lively with people moving around busily but still there is a life there,which i fail to notice in Mumbai or Delhi,u go at any time there are people in the station ,they are very helpfull and trust me guys it is one of the SAFEST CITY in India (i may tell).

The climate there sucks big time..its very humid and also very dry.

I learnt a lot there, I had never been out of bangalore , so it was very very difficult for me to adjust to a new place with new people speaking a diff language (though i knew lill tamil at that time,now i can understand completely).To be out of the cozy comforts of home was really not easy trust me!!! i had hurdles everywhere ..thankfully i could catch hold of some kannada speaking collegues in the company which was a blessing in disguise.

The best part was that, beach was just ten mins walk from my PG . It was one of the cleanest beaches in Chennai(Thiruvanmiyur beach). I used go there almost daily.
It was such a lovely scene to watch ,where parents come down with their children, fly kites,have bhel puri and chilli bajji with family ,the beach used to brim with life,so nice...it was amazing to watch small kids play with sand on the beach(it reminded me of how i used to play the same way).

I'll tell u people something,the best place to bring up ur kids is Chennai,it has still retained its traditional values yet modern in many ways which is required for the younger generation.Children are multi talented ,singing,dancing, skating ,swimming ..what not, they give equal importance to all and also education is superb there ,the kinds of schools and coll's they have is one of the best in India. The medical facilities are awesome there...many people come down to get best of the treatments there..the bus facilties are awesome...well the list goes on...all in all simply an awesome place to work and bring up ur children in the right way!!!!(so I feel,may be diff for diff people).

There are bad things about the city as well (which city doesnt have???) one is the awful drainage systems ,due to which there are floods in the city with just lill rain!!!(rain is also rare though) ,second is the auto walas, there is no meter and they demand huge amount for a very short distance(guys be carefull!!!)and then very obvious is the climate which sucks big time.

I have some lovely memories of this place with me to carry for my whole life,it was actually the turning point of my life where i learned to be self dependent,realised the importance of family(really one will def kno when there is nobody to give u a glass of water also if u are dying). I got my values built up of which i stand now proudly .I learnt to be myself, got to know more about me which i had thought i didnt have. I also learnt to cook!!! :) i used to cook my own food,wash my own clothes(in my whole life i hadnt done). Now come what may i can face life with confidence,act accordingly and be stable. Life teaches u many lessons on its journey just that we should keep our eyes wide open to see and implement them to ur own good use. I changed a lot to be very frank after all change was required more than anything!!! .I became more matured, learnt to deal with life my own way!!!! My mom always used to tell that change for becoming better is always good well thats what i did in the end and i m happy it and quite satisfied too.

Chennai , i used to curse that city day and night when i used to stay there, but after i left it to continue my studies, i reflected back upon my memories to find that actually i had learnt a lot and also carried my sweet memories of first earned salary.

Thats life........inspires u more and more when u live life to the fullest.:)

Mysore mathu

Thinking about Mysore i sense all my memories trying to flood into my brain like i would have a hemorrhage right then!!!!but, as it happens i have spent some of my best days of life there,here i go about my mysore mathu..

Mysore, what a great place with so lill traffic!!!:) really a brilliant place to spend one's childhood,I was one fortunate gal to spend some beautiful days there.It was my 2nd home...the city is so colorful,what with its famous Mysore Palace,Dussera Procession,KRS ,Brindavan gardens,Chamundi Hills,Rangantittu,Nanjangudu,Nimishamba Temple...well the list goes on.

Way back i used to spend all my summer vacations there..just playing with my cousins and hanging out everywhere.

Some Specialties of Mysore:
1.Mysore benne masala dosa
2.Grape candy!!! yummy (my mouth starts watering even thinking of it)
3.Bhel puri where they put oil to blend in the taste.
4.The whole street of Mari's.. wow!!! amazing food.especially Dry Gobi,Falooda

Well as evident from the above facts i hog a lot...

Me and my cousin sis used to roam in all the streets of mysore (by walking mind u!!!!!)Wow but still we used to enjoy a lot.To this date i go there and we go in search of pani puri's all over mysore.

We used to climb Chamundi Hills and go to see Goddess Chamundi, wow!!! such superb feeling, that too early in the morning when there is so much fog that u cant even make out who is walking next to u..and then when u climb up to the top u get such good buttermilk that it feels the flight worth it after all..so refreshing...so awesome.

I still remember the first time when i had seen Mysore Palace with lights on!!!what a breath taking view it was,seeing dussera procession live is something to boast about definitely.When millions of ppl are watching it on TV ,imagine seeing it live just within 2 m radius.It was just mind blowing, a memory that will be cherished(probably to grave).

One more thing till this date there is just one Pizza Hut,One Coffee Day and one Domino's in Mys but still it is a wonderful place to hang out,what with all the streets filled with thelawalas,awesome place,if u do get time then just visit this city once(though one visit isn't sufficient)and it will sweep u out clean to the heart..

There might be many people who cherish Mysore and may have an entirely diff opinion about it, but its their story to say it isn't it?I have traveled to that place in all possible means of transportation and to all the above mentioned places a numerous times, but every time i go i feels new and just mesmerized by its views

Umaahh Mysore,just love it for its own way!!!
This is my mysore mathu,u can always have urs!!!!!

My life....

Here i go ,was born on a Sunday,hence known to be lazy....but way back my life was so pretty ,it just consisted of what toys i get to play this weekend,when will i get a hold on a lolly pop,all the petty things were so great then ...didn't we have the urge to grow up and become like daddy or mummy ,but then thinking about it now i feel so good,there was nothing to worry about but still how i used to brood over things again n again..

The stories my mom narrated to me when i was young are still ringing in my ears..the lullaby which my mom used to sing..wow!!! good old days...Many nights i have dreamt about Alaudin and Cindrella.Legendry Mahabharatha and Ramayana were stories which inculcated in me some morals of which I stand now.

How my typical day would start by dad giving me a bath and dressing me with my uniform and my mom feeding me with breakfast by making me sit on the compound to wait for school van and then when it arrived it would result in me running towards it.I used cried daily tom go to school till i was in 3rd standard.Then after school i used to go to baby sitting where i was taken care of,following my mom coming and taking me back home....gone are those innocent wonderful days of life.

Now i have much more horrendous things to think about,i so much wish that i go back to my childhood and never grow old enough to make decisions in life...

Here i remember the lines of a great person,it goes like this
" Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age.
The child is grown;and puts away childish things.
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies"

Wow so good,so enlightening .....i wanna be a child again.

How i wish that time turns it back to me n I ride on it to land on the day i was born,even thinking about it makes me exciting..again i can live my life from scratch

I am sure everyone is now thinking of their childhood now....
thats childhood so no one ever forgets it..such a beautiful feeling..

Here i end my thoughts on becoming a child though there are many unsaid words propping up in my mind as I m typing

Starting.......

Well first of all i never believed in blogging.But here I m doing so ,this is because there are some feelings which needs an outlet.May be none of my frnds nor relatives would read this and i don want them to do so as well. I am not a very good writer but that doesnt stop me from writing,I always try to make it better everytime.My life has so many twists and turns in it(well may be everybody has them) but then mine is a bit peculiar(so I feel). Would pen down everything as and when i feel like.
Thats it for now..Will keep u posted..
