back after a long break!!!!

Finally i made it after a long break....sorry for absence all these days but what to do my schedule not permitting me to spare time for my loving blog :(.

November 14...its a day loved by children all over the country...after all its the b'day of one of the greatest people in India "Chacha nehru" (as called by all the beloved children of this wonderful country of ours...

There were much more events today other than Children's day....its Yash's birthday today and we had a nice party at "Yo-china" (place is cool the but the food actually sucks!!!!).....U will be wondering who Yash is...right??? well, yash (yashwanth) is one of my closest buddies around...he is a cool guy with an awsome attitude ofcrs!!!!!

The most important part of the day was...its "World usability day" today. We actually organized a conference which included speakers like Mr. Ajit Balakrishnan (Chairman and CEO of Rediff.com), Mr. Shankar Narayan (one of the most well known architechts in A.P., pioneer behind the cool projects like MMTS stations and Shilparamam in Hyderabad), Shekar kammula (one of the very few innovative movie makers!!!), Dr. Ajantha Sen (professor,IDC,IIT bombay), Mr.Srini Koppolu (Corporate VP and MD IDC Microsoft). It was an amazing experience for me talking to thos big shots and learning a lot from them.
The conference was basically included so as to bring in the awareness abount the usability of products and also its design which created a wave of enthusiasm in me to be a product designer in future (sounds really cool but a real tough journey ahead....). Overall the event was a huge success with lots of learning made out of the entire day....I wish many of my freinds could have made it to the place but none seem interested. I really think these folks missed a lot in terms of new experience about designs and stuff which we use in our day to day life.

There are many more things i would like to share with you but right now i need to rush...will catch u later with more news some time very soon.

Enjoy life!!!!

Back with Golconda news!!!!!

Its a boring Saturday morning here (boring in the sense....i am in office now working on the weekends too :-( !!!!

So...as promised to u all, its time for now to share our experiences at Golconda last week with u all!!!!
That was a saturday...Woke up very early in the morning at about 7(usually will sleep until 11am on weekends!!). Called up all the buddies and informed them to come soon...Me and vivek(poor souls) were waiting for the folks who will come to the fort with us from 9:30 and by the time all came(especially girls...ab makeup lagaane mein thoda time to lag hi jaata hai na!!!) it was 12 and finally the journey to golconda started.....Long drive of about an hr or so on bikes and cars and we were there, in front of the historic Golconda fort!!!

Finally after a long discussion, we hired a guide to explain us about the complete fort and he did so(hopefully he knew what he was telling!!!). That a fun filled day as most of us had turned up and were in a very exciting moods meeting each other after a long gap....

Everything was going fine and suddenly mu cell phone rings and i see that its a number from USA...i take the call and its Sujith(ours and only our Oors!!!!) on the other side of the phone, i didnt knew how to react (was happy but we all were badly missing the guys in US..).

There were very good locations out there with lots of photos taken and it was almost over when yashwanth (finally) joined us...Now it was time to have some food as we were really tired(i dont think so!!!)...
Finally decided to go to a nearby restro and had and ordered some hyderabadi biryani. That was the departing time for all of us (had a wonderful day together but donno when a similar day will return :-(...



Waiting for similar amazing days......

Signing off,
