I Am A Traveller Now.....
The results are out .I can now say that am a Computer science Engineer now.It was a very long journey of four years and all that i did was to travel ..travel and travel.....
I say travel so many times cause my college is 2 hrs ride away from home and i used to go daily and come back home .so it was a lot of traveling these 4 years .
But its all over now no more college .Yet the Traveling thing is not leaving me.It all started in the month of February when my college were still going on .I had to leave for Punjab on the day of Holi.It was a short trip but got extended due to my Grand moms untimely demise .I had to stay there in Punjab for around 20 days .
Traveling all of Punjab from one place to another meeting many relatives .Got back to college and finished the remaining work of Project and gave my exams .
Exams ended on 3rd and my parents Booked my tickets for a trip to Chirimiri (Place in Chatisgarh) for the 7th.Everything was set but God had different plans for me .
My friends had planned a trip to Goa.I couldn't miss this chance of a lifetime.So changed my schedule and went of to Goa on the 6th.It was a hell of a trip enjoyed it to the max.
Came back to Vizag on 13th totally tired and with no proper sleep .But had to leave the next day morning to Chirimiri and this time alone .Went there met up with my Cousins after a long time almost 6 years.enjoyed the time with them remembered our old meetings .Was kind of a reunion .And Chirimiri toh the best place on Earth .cause thats the place where i was Born.
Finally the trip ended on 20th when we had to catch our train for Bilaspur.There in the scorching heat i realised for the first time why people die in the summer of heat .as long as i was in the bus it was fine but when i stood in the sun just for a minute my whole skin started to burn .The sunlight was kind of piercing the skin .If i stood there for another 5 minutes was sure of getting Fainted .But it didnt happen.There we stayed at my moms old friends place till the evening then caught our train and reached home on 21st morning.
So through all this traveling the best part has been that i got to see all different parts of India.Totally different terrains and geographical topography. First Punjab with the lush green fields .Then Goa almost like Kerala the interiors and the beaches and Finally Chattisgarh the Hottest place i have ever been in was all barren and deserted .
Lets see what is in store for me next .I have to go to pune for sure then maybe to chennai and also a one or two day trip to Himachal for my cousins marriage .There is surely going to be a lot of traveling.
All this has made me a Traveller .

Last Day At College..............(What a RELIEF!!!!!)
Its been a looooooong time since i've posted anything.And as u can see the post before this was abt my first day at college this year ................................
After that day my life became so busy and fast that i didnt even get the time to sit and think over the happenings.I wont be able to recall all that i had been through in this period of my life.So now i start again ............................
Today as usual we boarded the train(EMU) for our college.Walked the distance from garvidi station to college in the scorching heat.It felt like the Hottest day i've ever experienced in my life.It was a 20 minute long walk.
We reached college canteen.Avnish ,Sarma and Me .The tension of revising the subject which we came to write was always on the back of my head.We took some drinks and as we drank them we were speaking of the how our lives were going to change after today.Sarma about his Swiss venture ,Avnish abt Wipro and Me abt Syntel.Thinking abt our future lifes was making us forget all tensions at the time.
Cause all these years that we spent in our college we only dreamt abt the life after college.Not even a single day did we think of our days in college.
Each and everyday that we went to college was like entering Hell.(Though we rarely went to college is another issue).Today was something different.We revised our subject and went to write the exam.
After coming out every other person was looking so lit up and happy like i had never seen them in their lives ever.It was all over everyone knew.Though they never spoke about it but i knew that each and everyone hated our college for what it had done to them but never got the guts to speak it out like we did .
Then started the maddening photo session as each fellow with their cameras started picking pics of each and everyone ......It went on and on and we got fed up and left everyone and caught an RTC bus to vizag.The temperatures today were really high and i had dehydrated completely.
But even then i couldnt believe that finally the day had come.Now a whole new era is going to start.So lets hope for the best .

First day at college ........
This last Friday was my first day at college this year.It was as usual but this time the things we went to do had some how executed out the way we thought .This was a bit astonishing cause in my college we can never expect things to go in our favor but this time it did.So hope that the remaining time left of my college life also goes by happily.
Making Of Blame Us.................Literally Blame Us......
So after the grueling and tiring day at sea i was back home sleeping happily.When my friend calls me in the morning at 10:00 AM and asks me a favor.
Venky(Artist) called to ask if i would be willing to give my home for some of the editing sessions for our upcoming movies.I was ok with it and asked why wasn't he doing it at Vinays Place as usual.HE told that Vinay had gone out of station thats why i being was bugged.I told him alright and asked him when he was coming.He said by 1:00 pm .so i got up got ready.
Even before Venky arrived Abhijeet(Bubby) arrived at my place .He told me that Venky was coming to edit a new movie they had been working on .I didnt know about the new video.I was told by Venky that Shekar(Shaky) was doin some video.But didnt know that Venky would be doing it with him.
So Venky also arrived at around 1:30.I inquired about Shaky he said that he was on his way .Until then i was briefed about the new video .And i was screened the video.I liked it but some scenes i didnt understand ...i mean i couldnt understand their need to be in the video.It was just like exaggerating the scenes.
What ever Venky said it was all Shaky's idea so i didn't comment anything. After Shaky also arrived with his friend Sricharan(Srichu) the musician.I understood at that moment that some new music will be created again like before .They brought with them all the speakers and amplifiers and guitar.We set the system according to the needs and the session started .
They started going thru each scene and composing different tunes for that scene.Venky had already edited the Video part of the video only audio part had to be edited.And when Shaky arrived he asked me to narrate for the video.At first i thought either Shaky didn't know me and my voice or he was out of his mind.But even Venky didn't say anything about this idea of me narrating so i also thought i should give it a try who knew if it could help.
So Venky and Srichu were preparing the audio and Shaky sat down to write the dialogues which i had to narrate.He finished it all in 10 minutes or even less.I then practised them with Shaky giving him an idea of how my voice would be .To my astonishment he was very pleased the way i spoke and said that it would exactly suite the video.I didnt know what to say so i also played along.
The whole evening we were mostly doing the music .By 7 pm it was done .So now my part came up .I had to narrate my lines.I started off and all the lines were recorded without taking any retakes or any kind of modulation.I never thought that it would be that simple.But some how i wasn't pleased with the work which i had produced but then everyone else were pleased so i didn't say anything.
After about 15 minutes all was done and now the grueling part of Venky started of editing all the audio parts at the right places in the video.Shaky had gone away to drop Srichu.
By the time he returned most of the editing part was done.just some final touches were to be given.The music part had come out really well but i still had some doubts with my voice work.I felt that i could have done better than that or the video might do well with some other persons voice but then......
At around 9:30 Bubby came again he saw the video and was all praises about the voice work and the music and all of it.He was very pleased with how everythig had shaped up.So i didnt want to think any more about my narration.
Every thing had to be uploaded and sent by 12:00 so we finished it by 11:30 and uploaded a low quality one before and sent it to the IIT guys.
Everyone left from my home at around 11:45 and i was still working on uploading the better quality version.After it was done i too switched off and went to slpeep. My work for the day was done ..............

With The Eastern Fleet ..........
I've been busy all these days doing various stuff.Couldn't get the time to write in my blog.Last week was a real roller coaster ride started off with the tour of the Indian Navy's Eastern Fleet Family Day.All the ship from the port go into the sea about 60 km.Its a kind of show of the various feats that the navy ships are trained to do.And It take s up almost 12 hours of your day in the ocean .
So i started off from my house at 6:45 in the chilly atmosphere.I wore a overcoat and a helmet to keep me protected for the next 20 minutes that i had to drive up to my friends place in Naval Park.It was damn cold i could feel it in my hands and fingers which were not covered really cold.But maybe it was also a bit less cooler than the other days cause it was Bhogi day And the whole atmosphere was smoky smoky .
I reached his place by 7:15.And waited outside the main entry gate.Avnish came and told that our other friends Mandeep and Nikhil had also arrived and asked me to contact them.In the meanwhile he went off to attend to Our HOD Mr David and his family whom he had invited for todays adventure.
By the time he arrived i met up with Mandeep and Nikhil .We moved from there to the main entry point to the port.Many people were waiting already some were going in .We parked our Vehicles and Avnish's dad arrived in his car and escorted us all with him to the Main ship in which we were going to send the rst of the day.It was Nirupak.His Dad were the in charge of all the ships which left and entered the port.
There we were assigned to a sailor named Debonath who looked after all the things which we would be requiring for that day.He gave Avnish a white paper and asked him to write the names of all those who were boarding the ship.
We boarded and were escorted to the place where already our HOD and his family were sitting.They were a bit surprised upon seeing us all.His son Joy was very naughty and cute boy.He got along well with us all.Most of the time he kept us engaged with him.We were told that the ship will start by 9:30 .so we had a lot of time cause it was still 8:00 .
We were roaming on the ship getting familiar with it.It was not new for me cause i had been on many ships before so nothing new.For my friends and HOD it was a complete new feeling.By the time it was 9:30 we started to get bored .Then we got the news that ours will be the last ship to leave by 9:50.
Finally our ship started and a tug boat helped it to get aligned into the correct direction.so everyone stood up and wee seeing how the tug crashed into our ship from one side to turn it .So we were in motion finally.every one started takin Pictures from there camera and Cell phones.
I forgot to mention that All this time we were cursing our friend Avnish for not bringing his camera which he said he would.It was throughout our journey we kicked him and abused him.So i had to take pics from my cell phone which doesnt give any nice quality Pictures but just to remember the trip it was enough.
So after 15 minutes we were in the blue ocean our ship was sailing at 7 knots/hr that was approximately 15km/hr .It wasn't swaying a lot but just a slight notion of it was there .The commentator was constantly filling us with the details of some interesting facts about the Navy and the ships .
We were following a ship and maintaining a distance of exactly 1 km between .And similarly in front of us were 20 other ships in one straight line heading towards the middle of the Bay Of Bengal maintaining a distance of 1 km between each one .
The wind was simply awesome .We climbed the highest point on the ship and as we saw the ship just heading for the Horizon splashing the wast amounts of water .It was such a beautiful sight .You should be there to experience it.Almost like the effect that must have seen In titanic when Jack and Rose extend their arms out.It was almost like that.We enjoyed every bit of it.
After sometime everyone was moved out of that area.and we went off t the Wardroom where all the Captains have their food and drinks and refreshments.It was empty except the steward who kept coming and going now and then.We took out Appy's for each and drank it sitting on the sofa.
Oh what a feeling .
The wardroom made us realize what sea sickness was.Cause when u r outside in the open u can see the ship oscilate with the outside surroundings but when u r inside in a packe droom only ur sense of balance intimates you about the oscillations of the ship.That creates a real awkward feeling in you.So thats how i experienced my first ever Sea Sickness .When ever we felt that it was becoming more .We came out in the open .
For breakfast we were given a Piece of bread and Bonda and 2 bananas .But we ordered for some,e extra cake and biscuits.So most of our time was spent just roaming in the ship taking some Pictures and attending to the needs of our HOD.
Finally in the afternoon when everyone got tired and the ship didnt stop to go i felt like taking a nap.But then realised as i was lost in thoughts that nap can be taken everywhere so was watching the sea and the place where our ship was being beaten with the ocean waves again and again and the white foam which it constantly produced after each splash .It was very Cool.
In the evening at the time of sunset again everyone gathered on the deck to take some final pictures of the Setting sun .We also joined in the crowd .
As we were entering the port again it was dark and only the lights of the ships around us and the port lights were visible which in itself was a breath taking view.
We were all out by 7:30 and i headed towards home after a short trip with my friend to a place which was closed .
The trip was really one of a kind can never forget such an experience in my life.It could have been much better if instead of our HOD some more of our friends had joined but then everything in this world is not in our hands whats in our hands should be made use of.................
