Necessity - The mother of ...

It’s been a long time that I penned down my thoughts. There’s one incident that happened to occur to me this time when I was travelling by train to my home town which I thought can be blogged on :).

This was not the first time I was travelling alone by train, but it never fails to happen that my father doesn’t give me a minimum 15 mins of advice on do’s and dont’s while in train. In that long 15 mins of advice there would be 10% of do’s but 90% of it would be dont’s as he is very well aware of his daughter’s activities. From the time I boarded the train, I did not bother to know my compartment mates and talk to anyone of them and was happily getting bored sitting alone in my regular upper berth. It was around 9:30P.M when all the people in the bogie were done with their dinner and were almost asleep with all the lights switched off. .9:30 ???? ok forget it..It was that time I realized my bottle had run out of water and I was quite thirsty. The pantry service keeps loitering all around the train all the time, but when you need it…….. I then took out the schedule which I carry always while travelling, the only thing which makes me feel better as it says how close I m to my destination. There was 1 station which was just about to come and had a 1 min stop. Getting down from the train, buying a bottle from a shop and then coming back in 1 min. Would that become toooo adventurous ?? hundreds of thots started running into my mind and by the time I was out of them, the train already started moving out of that station. Okk..now what…next station was after another 1 hour which had a stop of 2 mins and then the next stop with 15 mins..wowow….thats great..but after 4 hours :(..made up my mind to get down at the 15 mins wala stop and get a bottle from there..it would be around 2A.M and had also set an alarm for it in case my thirst would have by any chance allowed me sleep...was trying hard to get sleep, but it is then I learnt when we r short of something, we yearn for it badly. Suddenly I realized my train’s speed had reduced and it was 11..that 2 mins wala station... without giving my brain much time to process any thots, I popped off from my seat and ran to the door . Not going much into the details of how I struggled to open it, I saw a shop not right infront my door, but nearby..seemed to be achievable.. I started running to the shop, asked for a bottle of water, gave him 20 bucks and he immediately gave the change. I did not bother to check how much he had returned and create a scene of Jab We Met. Remember kareena kapoor missing her train for a similar reason ???? I did not want to be the next kareena kapoor and replicate a dramatical movie scene ;)..ok coming back to reality, I took the bottle and jumped back to my train before it making me run for it and asking for help from people (who would be happily building their dreams).

While having water after returning peacefully, I was just wondering what if I would not have made it on time?? wat if I had missed my train ?? wat if I had impersonated kareena and got the shahid kapoor of my life ;) ?? But apart from all these, the thing that was worrying me the most was, wat if my papa comes to know about the activity their daring daughter had carried out :)

Me in the race for driving ??

Now I am ready for the second one !!..n here it goes -----
I had been thinking of learning a 4-wheeler for quite a long time but somehow none of my plans were getting materialized... But one fine morning i made it to the driving school, near my house, well actually my immediate neighbor :P..i submitted all the required docs and they gave me some questions to prepare and asked to come the next day. But as always I wanted to speed up the process and insisted them to take me for the LL test that day itself. I had no clue how difficult or easy the test would be but was confident on clearing the test. I had hardly 45 mins to prepare for the test and i reached the RTO Office. we were around 25 people taken to a room where we were supposed to take the test.I had read all the questions and thought I could clear the exam easily. There was one lady sitting beside me who was bugging me with questions and i could not answer even one and she herself was then answering them. She had by that time totally scared me saying no body usually gets passed in the 1st go and on top of that I was not able to answer her questions. Me being so confident on my 45 mins preparation became sure of the outcome. Finally we got the question paper which had 15 questions out of which atleast 10 had to be correct.I saw the questions and I started thinking how would I face my friends saying I could not clear the exam. I had thought of submitting my paper within 2 mins but i guess i was within the last 5 to do that. i was pretty sure how good i had done and msged my frnds saying i failed the exam.now people who never miss out a chance of pulling my leg got one more chance of doing that which is always a pleasure for them…
Finally the invigilator started correcting the papers and one after another were missing out their chances for a mark or 2.If we dont pass then test in the 1st go, we can appear for it next time but it’ll make feel a little low. And i was fully prepared for it. Only 4-5 people managed to clear test and the lady sitting beside me was one of them. Then finally after testing a lot of patience my name was called.When he started checking my answers ,the 1st 4 answers were correct and i was speechless to see that. there were some wrong answers too. Finally he started counting my wrong answers and it went like ok 1..2..3..ooo its already 4......then...5 and ….and…. thats itttt….
Oh my goddddddddd...to my sheer surprise i had just managed to clear the test. It was not a very important test of my life but i was feeling on top of the world. The invigilator was giving me looks as to y is she so excited but he too gave me a smile. Now I am going through my driving classes and will keep you people posted on my Driving License Test which would happen soon.

First day of TT at SAP

Hmmm....well this is my first post.After giving a lots of thoughts i could manage to start off with something..It took me almost 2 years to ring the bell of the TT room at SAP..Its not that i m a good player but always had in mind to learn something new and atleast i knew how to hold the bad and hit the ball :) ..we were 4 players and started off with a game. I was partnered with one of my colleague named praneeth and our opponents were kondal and prashanth..they too are my colleagues..we started well but managed to lose that game badly..we thot of playing best of 3..started the 2nd game and had the same results as the 1st one..now this was upto our ego and we thot of having best of 5 ;). The 3rd game we won comfortably..God knows how ?? May be because of my partner..but he gave me the credit too so it was good :)..We repeated the same thing in the 4th game and managed to win that also...finally we had the deciding game and our opponents were leading some 8-2 points.me and my partner bucked up and the score was 20 each. And we got the the very next point..So it was almost like a match point for us but we managed to make it deuce..we again got the next point and we had opportunity to win that.. but it was deuce again..now it my serve which was supposed to be very crucial and i was too excited to do that and i screwed it up..now everything was dependent on my partner to return the prashanth's serve on the match point but unfortunately he missed it and we lost the game. Although we lost it but it was a good feeling after the play..hopefully i'll improve my game in the upcoming days..enuf for the first post ;)
