Incredible India

Here goes one of the best SMS, which actually conveys the truth of our incredible nation and we need to think about it...

"We live in nation,
where pizza reaches home faster then ambulance and police,
where you get car loans @ 5% but education loan @ 12 %,
rice 40 Rs. & mobile Sim card free!
Incredible India"

Trip to Kedar's Farmhouse


On the Christmas morning, time 9:00 AM my phone started beeping with the screen : “Sunil SD” Calling. There is another story of adding SD behind Sunil’s Name and will write about it in my other blog. Here goes the conversation
Me: Hey Sunil!!
Sunil : Get ready in 20 mins, we are going to the Kedar’s Farmhouse
Me: Now!!
Sunil: Yup get ready, I’ll be there!!
Me:Okay!!
Sunil came @ 9:45 AM and we started from my place by Sunil’s Pulsar bike to kedar’s home, from where we planned to move to the Farmhouse(located at 50 Kms from Hyderabad) by Kedar’s Car. We reached at kedar’s house at 10:30 AM, where Anish and Sumanth were already waiting for us. We all planned to start but Kedar’s car was not ready to start! We almost spent half an hour in starting kedar’s car but in vain and our dream of celebrating chirstmas @ farmhouse seemed to be sinking like Titanic in the sea.
In this situation, Sumanth like a savior, came up with an idea of going in his Maruti 800. And without wasting a moment, we all started.



We reached at Kedar’s farmhouse at 12:20 PM. Beside Kedar’s farmhouse, there is another farmhouse of Kedar’s Uncle where he had 'Emus'. So we all went there and took a few pics of Emu.

After Emu darshan, Kedar took us to the well. We all went into the well via staircase. Some of the junk fellows (don’t want to mention their name) smoked inside the well. Here goes few of the moments captured inside the well.

Sky Scenery!

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention about the two most wonderful creatures who welcomed us @ the entrance of the farmhouse. They were Rambo and Rashmi. You can spot them in the below pics, with Sunil, Sumanth and Kedar(L->R).

We all started playing cricket and also had lunch break for an hour. At 5:30 PM, we finished playing the game due to fading light. At the end of the game we awarded Sumanth, for scoring the highest runs!! Here is the Award Ceremony pic:

Sumanth- The Man of the Match!!

Finally our celebration came to an end and we started from the Farmhouse. But, we all really had a great fun and enjoyed a lot. This was one of the most memorable day of my life.

Hyderabadi Cops

Today is my second day in Hyderabad and I want to narrate one harsh incident that came my way. As a part of my joining formalities @ MNC, I went for medical tests @ Medinova Diagnostic Center, which is at Somajiguda.

At the morning 10:15, me and my buddy Hitesh started from the gayatri lodge,Ranigunj. As directed by the lodge boy, we boarded the bus 49M and reached punjagutta.

At punjagutta, we both had a “feel good factor”, as we had discovered a nice place to hangout on weekends in the new city: “Hyderabad Central Mall”. But the second thought that struck our mind was, “How to reach somajiguda?”.

We asked a few hawkers standing outside the mall, to guide us to somajiguda. But our discussion with each one of them came to an end with these couple of words from hawkers : “Hindi raadu”(We don’t know hindi). Finally we approached the traffic cops for help which sounded somewhat like this…

Me: Bhaiya yeh somajiguda kaise jaane ka?
Cop: Auto mein baitho aur begumpet airport jao..
Hitesh: kya?
Cop: Hindi nahi aata kya?
Me[with smile]: Sir hame somajiguda jaana hai to airport ke liye auto kyun?
Cop: Airport jao aur wahan se flight lo jo sidhi somajiguda jaati hai…

[Me and Hitesh started laughing and could make out that fellow was either drunk or not in the mood to answer. Then also we stood there for a while hoping that he will help us and I started the conversation]

Me: Sir, kaun sa bus jayega somajiguda
Cop [Angry]: kitni baar bolne ka ki plane se jaane ka….samaj mein nahi aata kya?

So, me and Hitesh came to conclusion that its just waste of time to be asking him at all. We finally boarded an auto and reached the destination…

So this incident really got me thinking,
"Because of few people, our motherland’s values and virtues are being tainted. ...... :( "
