Success Takes Hard Work and Patience

Hard Work

Everyone has the ability to work hard. The difference between someone mediocre and someone who has achieved greatness is the determination and drive they put into what they do. Through hard work even the mediocre can achieve success. There is never any short cuts to success, but hard work complimented with the desire to achieve, determination, and always being motivated to get after your goal, it makes success becomes bigger. Hard work only works as hard as you do, and the level of success reached will only be as high as an individuals work level.

Patience

Success is not an overnight type of deal. It takes months, years, and most of the time decades to become great at something. The biggest thing about becoming successful is that you have to be willing to put in the effort. You to have been willing to understand, there is no quick fix. It is a process to become successful. It is important to take time in researching, reading, and simply learning. And don’t ever stop researching, reading, or learning. There is never a point to which you are too successful or know too much. There is always more to learn and become great at. The 10,000 hour rule, says it takes about 10,000 hours to master a skill and become successful at something. It is going to take a lot of time to become successful, so fall in love with the process. Wake up with the drive every day to want to become successful, knowing you are getting just a little bit closer to becoming successful. The definition of success and the path to success is different and may be defined by everyone differently. But if there is one thing that can be agreed from those individuals whom are already successful, and people trying to reach success is that the two most important qualities is to work hard, and be patient. Everyone has the ability for success but only those individuals whom are willing and determined to reach it actually achieve it.

I have seen many people saying about their experiences “After attending few interviews they used to say, It’s very difficult, I can’t attend interviews anymore” ,”Dude after attending 3 rounds in single day, I feel like I will get fever”, so and so.

Following is my own experience, do read and let me know 🙂
My First interviewer said “first prepare, then you attend interview” 😀 — For preparing first I should know what I have to prepare right . So I attended small company interviews and started researching what all I have to concentrate on .
For one interview I attended 5 rounds in single day, but they never respond about the results, but never felt bad for that :D.
Some people will make fun of you if you didn’t clear the interview , some people will scold you , some will hurt you , some will confuse you. So better don’t discuss all the interview with everyone. Keep silent, you know what you want and what you have to do, follow it achieve it, after that you can reveal it.
Some times went up to last round still didn’t get offer in hand.
And some of my friends used to ask me “Jayashri we both were in same team, how you learnt all this and how u got selected” … I just smiled and said its hard work, anybody can do it, just work for it.
It took 1 year for me 🙂
So please don’t lose your hope, it might take months, years. Never give up, one day you will surely achieve it.

Mumbai

It was December 2018, I returned back from Mumbai, I planned to switch my job. When I work hard day and night and even on weekends , still I didn’t even get any appreciation, no hike, no promotion. I left my family, travelled far an worked. 2018-2019 It is the time when many people started leaving from that company, because they too faced same situation. I reached Bangalore,it’s just one week over and my manager again asked me to travel to Mumbai. Last time she asked me can you travel to Mumbai for 4 months and made me stay there for 9 months. This time she asked for 1 month, I donna how much time will it take. I said, sorry I can’t travel. After few days in the year-end appraisal, she was saying me “Jayashri, you have to travel, you need to learn more about our application, else you can’t survive in IT”. I said yeah sure. I came back to my desk, I decided I don’t wanna say here anymore. My mind voice saying “I can’t survive in IT ??”,let me prove her one day. Instead of learning about this banking application, I can learn some latest technology and move to some other company.

Infy Hebbal Ecity Mysore

January 2019, I got sample resume from my Mysore friend (Inica) . In February 2019, I uploaded my resume in naukri . I started preparing for interviews. Attended my first interview in the month of March 2019. It was not so easy for me, as a Java developer I felt like I just have 0.1% of knowledge in Java. I had all knowledge how my application works , what error may come ,how to fix it. I know more about my application, but that will not gonna help in switching my job. Ok I decided to give interviews for small companies. I refreshed naukri on daily basis. I started getting calls from many companies. I planned to attend interviews on every Saturday. I stopped roaming out , I stopped shopping , I stopped watching movies, I stopped drawing. I sacrificed many things . After attending few interviews, I got to know what all technologies they are asking, what all topics I need to concentrate. After returning from interview I used to note down all the questions they have asked, Sunday morning I used to find answers for all those questions and note it down. I got to know that with Java, I can’t survive in IT hereafter. I need to learn many new frameworks, web services. As a backend developer questions will be from any topics so have to be ready for everything. I’m entirely new to spring framework (Spring, Spring MVC, Spring Boot, REST web-services). With the help of udemy I gained knowledge on all these topics.

June 2019, I attended TechM interview. Morning 7am I reached. There were around 3 rounds, I cleared .It was 7pm, I submitted all the documents and went back to room. I still continued preparing for interview. I expected they will be sending offer letter they called 2-3 times and said will be sending you offer letter. I followed for few times. At the month end again they called and said the same. It was bit disappointing. Lost my hope. Stopped applying for jobs. After a month again started. This time applied in naukri and also uploaded resume in carrier sites. Uploading resumes in carrier sites will be huge time taking process, so late night I used to do that work. I attended few interviews still it didn’t work. I decided ok,let me create my own project,gained some more knowledge in spring boot.

Bali, Indonesia

September 2019, Again for few months, I was not in a mood to attend interview and 0% motivation. Again started shopping. Planned an international trip, enjoyed . After returning one of my teammate put papers and left the company. OMG .. I should not stay here anymore, this lady will ask me to travel to inter/intra city. She will soon dump all here work on my head, I should not allow this to happen. I watched “The Secret” movie . I planned to try it out.

December 2019, I met a new friend. My friend said “Jayashri you have 4 years of experience ,surely you can do it”. So and so. 80% motivation is back :D. December end I gave MTree interview. This time while going, I said to myself sure I cleared the interview and got my offer letter. (Law of attraction). 😀 . First round was online test it went well. Moved to second technical round. In my first interview in January 2019 I donna what questions they will ask.Now I have noted all the questions and my notepad crossed 3000+ lines. This time when interviewer tried to ask “List equals” and I completed the question “Why we use List = ArrayList” interviewer said yeah yeah :D. When interviewer asked about Left Outer Join, I asked can I write and explain you. After writing I looked at interviewer, he replied enough “I knew that you already knew Left Outer Join”:-D. Then answered other questions on Java, Spring boot, SQL etc. Then entered third round. Interviewer asked “Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?” I replied I’ll be learning new technology and working in some new project. Again she asked after that what you will do. I replied I’ll start my own business. I asked the same question to my friend, then I got to know oh shit I shouldn’t have replied like that :D. So Friends please be prepared for this question :). Then entered fourth round and cleared it. I submitted all documents and returned back to my room. This time I didn’t expect and offer letter,because anything might happen .No expectation no disappointment. I kept preparing for further interviews. The next day my current company manager came to my cubicle, she was giving me advice, “Jayashri I gonna assign you new project, you need to learn and work on it” I said ok. I asked about my promotion, first she replied OK then she also replied sorry there are many person waiting in the queue I can’t promote your name for this cycle. I felt so bad, after working this much still, she can’t even consider my name for promotion. After two days I received my offer letter in hand, it was december end 2019 🙂 yeah finally got my offer. Thanks God.

Infy Ecity Bangalore

January 2020, one fine morning. Its my turn to give some shock, to the person who said “I can’t survive in IT”. I called my manager and said “I’m going to put paper”. She was shocked 😀 … “Jayashri what happen , why suddenly” I replied I got offer from MTree and I’m planning to move. “Jayashri don’t put paper, let me come to office tomorrow will discuss about this” I waited one day. As she was busy I put my papers. It was not so easy for me, infy gave me many opportunity I worked in Mysore->Chennai(shols) ->Chennai (Mcity)-> Bangalore-> Mumbai, beautiful environment, neat and clean work place, luxurious ECC, campus includes all sports activities, met so many good people, still its time to move on. The next day, she came and discussed “She asked tell what I should do for you” — mind voice said “You didn’t even bother these many years and you scolded me, now you are asking me what I want”. I replied if you can give me same package I can stay here. She replied I can’t do that. She said, this is so good company, you have a laptop … if you got married, you can do work from home, you will get onsite opportunity (my mind voice yeah you will say Mumbai is onsite and you will send me permanently, which I don’t want anymore). She can’t give anything great. I stick to my point. After few days she again asked few more times, “Jayashri, do you really wanna move?” I smiled :). “Jayashri, if you want anything, which I can do you can ask, you can revert your paper .. will do for you”. i kept silent. My mind voice said, I’m not going to revert anything.

Infy , Sparsh

Successfully my second post on Infy internal website Sparsh -> Leisure -> Hobby . When you quit the job,the only thing they will not delete is the post which you have published. 🙂

I didn’t say any of my friends “that I put papers”, because it will be difficult to handle “every time they will say, “oh Jayshri you are leaving” blabla. So I decided will inform them little lately. I just said to my Mysore friend and my motivator friend. Mysore friend said “Jayashri, you faced same situation Mysore also, you cleared it.. now also you achieved it, cheers.. keep going dear” 🙂 And my motivator friend said, congratulations that you got offer but it’s not enough, for your experience you can surely get better offer, don’t take notice period as honeymoon period, try to get better offer. I went back to room,I realized I can get better offer. This time I worked more hard… I didn’t waste a single moment. I go to office, I used to complete my work and draft email and start to prepare for interviews. I didn’t hang out much. I kept attending Skype/Zoom interviews and offline interviews. I used to get so many calls,I attended top MNCs. Every night after returning from work,I used to prepare for interview up to 12 to 1am. I didn’t say my roommates that I’m going to attend interviews, because again after returning they will question me … it will be difficult to handle.

February 2020, I got call from CTS. Saturday they scheduled the interview, I got 6 days to prepare. Entire 5 days I kept preparing for up to 12 to 1am. On friday,exactly the day before the interview I was so tired, not able to prepare anything. I said myself,so far and past 5 days I have prepared … sure I can do it. I arranged my resume and had food and slept nicely. the next day I reached on time. There were 3 rounds, I have cleared it :). The person who interviewed me in MTree, came to attend interview 😀 in CTS. After few days I received my offer in hand. Now I said my motivator friend I got new offer. 🙂 congratulations :):):) . Yeah , Finally I did it.

March 2020, exactly one 1 month before my last working day, my TL(Kushi) started to dump all work on me. She wanted to utilize me fully and complete all the works as much as possible. Every 30 minutes she used to check if I’m available , am I online … whatsapp ,Skype everywhere she used to ping me. If I took lunch break more than 40 minutes she used to call and shout. I still kept silent. After going through all this finally , its 4 days before me last working day. My release was on Friday and I have to transfer my laptop on Wednesday. I raised a laptop transfer request on Monday afternoon so that it will get processed in next 2 days. Monday night at 11pm this great lady dropped a mail saying “Jayashri do create all these 9 Java files compile and deploy it” — (It will take around another 1 week to develop all these files). Wow now its my turn 🙂 I’m not in a mood to work anymore :D. The next morning my transfer request got approved and replied to her mail saying “As I have transferred my laptop, I was not able to develop these files Kindly allocate new Laptop/Desktop”. 😀 … after that blocked her in Whatsapp 😀 … Put an end to “Kushi who never spreads kushi(happiness)” 🙂

Still the story was not over 😀 . Its April 2020, as it was quarantine time I was in home town. Joining formalities , virtual oboarding everything got over. Getting a project was bit difficult. Few project got mapped but then they replied saying, we are not able to send laptop to your home location. Few project they wanted Microservice experience. Ok again I started learning through Udemy. My brother said try to create your own app and host it. This time I created my own website and the hosted it on Heroku 🙂 . If you are interested you can visit this link http://jay-heroku-demo.herokuapp.com/ . After creating and hosting my app I felt like even if they throw me out of the company, I still will be able to manage.

Bye bye Infy …

After that finally got project in the month if July. It’s a long journey, crossed so many people. Learnt so many lessons of life and learnt new technology. Still the learning continues. Thanks God, thanks to everyone who was there always to support me, share my feelings , to motivate me and guide me. One thing I would like to share you all is.

“If our desired results do not come that is no reason for us to lose heart. As long as our goal is correct, our intention is pure and sincere We must persevere with this faith that by grace of God and our dedicated efforts, we will definitely reach that noble goal one day”.

Thanks for reading, have a great day. Stay positive. Do more of what makes you smile, happy and alive 🙂

A journey through the mist and magic of Indonesia

“Once a year, go somewhere you have never been before.” –Dalai Lama

Happiness is the moment, when Once seen in Discovery channel becomes reality. I’ve never snorkeled before. In Bali I got a chance for snorkeling and I experienced the underwater view for real. It was so magical!!! Everyone loves to fly, and flying underwater is even better than flying in air because you will enjoy the crystal clear water, corals and underwater world.

This was my first international trip to Bali and my excitement knew no bounds. I had beautiful memories from my first Bali holiday. Bali is a place that is filled with beautiful people, traditions and celebrations, forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, beaches and coral reefs.

Arriving at Bali

We booked Bali tickets and we all 4 were waiting for the day of travel. Finally, the day came we started our journey. Me, my brother, Shyamala and Rachana we four arrived at Bangalore airport. We were so excited. For the first time I was getting stamps in my passport. Earlier, I used to think I have a passport with empty pages no stamps in it. Now I got my first stamp in my passport 🙂 . We took late night flight from Bangalore.  Morning we reached Kuala lumpur (Malaysia). We had our breakfast and from there we took flight to Bali (Indonesia).  We were so much tired and we slept, it was nearly 30 min to reach Bali. From flight the view was so beautiful crystal-blue water, warm, sandy beaches, ships, mountains, volcanoes, lakes and full of coconut trees. After two short hours, we arrived at the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali which was located near the ocean , from the runway we can see the blue sea. The airport was new, gleaming and has a Balinese architectural theme.

Ubud

From airport we took cab to our hotel in Ubud. I was sitting near window seat and watching all the sceneries. I saw many (Arjuna, Krishna) statues and clicking photos. We reached our hotel. The environment was so clean. I had stepped outside to get some fresh air. Bali is a real paradise for fruit lovers. Due to its location near the equator, its volcanic highlands and fertile plains, many different species of fruit can be found on the island. In our hotel they had offered fruits for welcoming. The welcoming fruits includes rambutan, mangosteen , snake fruit, pomelo, white seeded pomegranate kind of fruit and banana.

Ubud is the heart of Bali. The region is all over surrounded by lush green trails of rice fields. Apart from this, it’s topography is also dotted with a number of Hindu temples which are an abode of serenity and the landscapes will truly melt your heart away.

Ubud Market

Day 1 – Ubud market had lovely things to purchase. Colorful dreamcatchers , wooden fridge magnets with Bali theme, surf keyring key chains, belts, shoes, Bali clothes , Aroma oil, Natural soap, etc. It was all very appealing to the eye. The rituals performed by Balinesians were mesmerizing. As I looked down the street, almost every shop had colorfully garbed locals making offerings like these to keep bad spirits away and invite prosperity. There are thousands of shops lining the road for shopping.

Dinner at Casa Luna

With its relaxed tropical atmosphere, small stream and Bali-chic mix of traditional furniture and fabrics, Casa Luna is an Ubud landmark that has been serving authentic Balinese food and modern, nourishing dishes to discerning guests for more than 25 years. Their Balinese-style Paella is legendary, the lime tart has been named the best on the island and their coffee reigns supreme. Vegan and vegetarian options play a significant role in the menu and organic ingredients are hand-picked from the Casa Luna garden. We had tried some new Balinese food too, one is pumpkin soup which was more like gravy, we can have with roti maybe 🙂 a mixture of honey, lemon and turmeric juice that was more like turmeric water with some ice cubes in it  .

Mount Batur sunrise trekking

Day 2 – Mount Batur is amongst the most active volcanoes in Bali, but it definitely worth a visit. Standing tall at the height of 5,600 feet above the Sea Level, it saw its last volcanic eruption in the year 2000. The peak of the mountain is considered amongst the best places to get a view of the sunrise in Bali. Enjoy the blissful sunrise from the top of Mount Batur. Stunning view with 3 volcanos in the background with the mountains and the lake, quite windy but a lovely. Lake Batur is located at kintamani village, next of Batur volcano. This lake is surrounded by the hills with so huge black lava field view.

Luwak Coffee Farms and Rice Terraces

After a 45-minute drive, we arrived at the Luwak Coffee Farm. Luwak Coffee is the most desired and expensive coffee in Indonesia. Indonesians, unlike rest of Asia, are more of coffee drinkers than tea drinkers. The way the coffee here is produced is unique. The red coffee bean is fed to an animal called the Luwak (the palm civet). It is a nocturnal animal that looks like a giant squirrel. The Luwak digests the coffee fruit, and excretes the seed. The seeds are then collected, washed, dried, roasted and ground to make coffee powder for human consumption. After we were shown how to roast the coffee beans and grind them, we tried the many amazing flavors of coffee and teas sitting by the paddy fields. I loved Mangosteen, Rosela, Ginger tea and green color lemon grass looks attractive but it doesn’t taste that good 🙂 . We travelled in the month of November and most of the harvesting was done and so we were not able to see much rice terraces.

Bali swing

A few teas later, we went to Bali Swings. Have you ever swung over the abyss…? Bali swing in Ubud is truly a place for the adventure and nature lovers alike, as here you can pose at the rocks or just enjoy the perfect frames of the cascading falls. With this activity, you can reach up to a height of 33 feet which is almost 10 meters to 256 feet above the ground. We took wonderful pictures. You can also try out different poses at the nests or just explore the bewildering jungle. The cool mountains, paddy fields, and soothing vibes of this upland are just perfect for splendid vacations.

Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple

Gunung Kawi Sebatu is a Hindu water temple dedicated to Vishnu, who is said to rule over water. The site is located in a dip in the land and is surrounded on three sides by stonewalls and the fourth by a steep forested slope. The temple complex is built on a natural spring, which feed a series of ponds and pools. A combination of all the greenery combined with the water features gives Gunung Kawi Sebatu a calm and peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of the prettiest temples in Bali. The temple features verdant gardens around fish ponds filled with carp and blooming lotuses. Gunung Kawi Sebatu is probably one of my favorite temples in Bali. It’s a beautiful place to wander quietly around and relax in.

Campuhan Ridge Walk

Campuhan Ridge walk is a beautiful walk filled with greenery and hills. It is more of a jungle walk where one can witness the panoramic landscapes of Ubud. The complete walk is a 2 km trek and is popular due to its windy block paved path and scenic vistas. The rice terraces and fields can be witnessed near Karsa Kafe. We went in the evening, the sunset was so beautiful, we saw a person sitting in the tree and playing flute. It was a Beautiful relaxing music. Sunset time is the perfect time to enjoy this walk, one can witness the warm lighting that beams onto the trail making it the best spot to click photographs. As you would be visiting this place in the evening, knowing the surrounding popular attractions will surely make your day!

Air Panas Banjar Hot Springs

Day -3 We went to Air Panas Banjar, it’ a natural hot springs located in the north of Bali. The sacred hot springs ‘Air Panas’ of Banjar are set in the midst of the jungle in a beautifully landscaped tropical garden. It has nice atmosphere since it surrounded by lush tropical gardens. A good place for chill out and relax your body. The water can be used for healing the skin disease since it contains sulfuric water. The water, considered “holy” by the locals, has a pleasant temperature of 38° Celsius and is slightly sulfurous. Eight fierce-faced carved stone animals pour water from a natural hot spring into the first bath, which then overflows into a second and third larger pool. In the third pool, water pours from 3-meter-high to give you a pummeling massage. Water was little hot, I enjoyed the beautiful garden and taking bath in hot spring, it was a truly magical, Balinese experience.

Bali Twin lake (Buyan and Tamblingan lake)

Bali Twin Lakes Viewpoint overlooks both Tamblingan Lake and Buyan Lake in Munduk. Bali Twin Lakes are located in Munduk, high in the mountainous region of Bali. Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan, separated by a rainforest-covered hill. The two lakes are known as the Twin Lakes. This sight is a great overview of the volcanic heart of Bali. Volcanoes have created and shaped this island, creating volcanic cones and lakes, and producing rich soils enabling a lush forest to grow. This lake is one of three twin lakes that formed in a large caldera. He was flanked by two other lakes, namely Lake Tamblingan in the west and Lake Bratan in the east. Lake Buyan (on the left here) is Bali’s second biggest lake, after Lake Batur and Tamblingan lake is the smallest lake on the island. The wind was so cool we enjoyed the scenes, took some good pictures.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple

Bali Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a temple dedicated to the goddess of the lake is Ida Batari Dewi Ulun Danu on the edge of a huge crater. The dominant shrines are Meru’s (pagodas) dedicated to the lake goddess and the gods of Mount Batur and Mount Gunung Agung, the largest volcano in Bali. The temple was built in the 17th century in worship of the main Hindu trinity, Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, as well as the lake goddess, Dewi Danu. The sight and cool atmosphere of the Bali uplands have made the lake and this temple a favorite sightseeing and recreational spot as well as a frequently photographed site. The temple was near the mountains and lakes and cool air was blowing around the temple. We walk around the temple took some good pictures. The temple was full of beautiful flowers, there is also play area. I was playing in swing 🙂 and suddenly I felt the swing was moving fast, it turned and  someone was pushing my swing 🙂 . There were shops outside , I purchased a Bali hat 🙂 . I was planning to buy a hat and I bought it.

Sunrise at Nusa Dua beach 

Day – 4 One of those days should begin with a sunrise. Watching the sky wake up to a copper glow, it’s best so start that day early so you can experience the magic of the morning sun. So we started the day early and saw the beautiful sun rise at Nusa Dua beach.

Secret Cafe, Nusa Dua

Lovely people who serve a nice healthy selection of breakfast combos, with eggs the way you like them, avocados, toast, sausage, mushrooms etc. Chilled atmosphere, and good if you need to give your belly a break from all the wonderful Bali food and sambal.

Bali’s Abandoned Plane

After having breakfast we went and saw the abandoned plane,Boeing 737. It’s not at an airport or an airplane boneyard. Instead, it sits in a field near some kind of limestone quarry, and no one quite knows how it got there.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park

Then we went to GWK and saw the magnificent Garuda Vishnu Statue. Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue (also GWK statue) is a 122-meter tall statue located in Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park, Bali, Indonesia. The statue was designed to be the Indonesia’s tallest statue. According to this myth, Garuda agreed to be ridden by Vishnu in return for the right to use the elixir to liberate his enslaved mother. Then we went to Asana Artesium, they explain about the historical, scientific, artistic and cultures of Bali. There were many souvenirs shop, we did some shopping and returned back.

Asana Artesium

Pandawa beach

We went to Pandawa beach one of the gorgeous beaches. The beach is located behind mountainous area.  Pandawa beach is surrounded by two cliffs with one of them, carved into the cliff face the statues of the Pandavas and the Kunti goddess. The six statues from top to bottom are Kunti, Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva. We had your lunch near the beach hotel. Its amazing ocean display of white sand, blue sky and surf, Pandawa Beach is likewise best known for its noteworthy landscape and synthetic limestone highlights that fill in as a stand-out welcome into this waterfront territory. Gigantic bluffs were sliced through to clear a path for its winding and smooth black-top streets which lead down to the shoreline. The beach was so calm I loved it. Also one can spend some lone time at the beach enjoying the vicinity around. Went near the shore, it was evening time the water was slightly warm and cool, while returning I have collected some sea shells as remembrance.

Kecak and Fire Dance

The famous fire dance of Bali, known as the Kecak Dance, can be found all around the island in different forms. We planned to watch fire dance, but we could not get the tickets. We just saw the sunset and took some photos and returned.

Nusa Penida island tour and snorkeling Crystal Bay 

Day – 5 We arrived in Sanur and departed to Nusa Penida Island. From there we went to Crystal Bay, and did snorkeling right at the beach with beautiful corals and fishes. For the first time we all did snorkeling, it was awesome experience and I loved it. Even if you donno swimming that’s not a big issue. If you ever get a chance for snorkeling don’t miss it. Snorkeling is actually more floating than swimming. Snorkelers is to RELAX. All the u want is Float Vest, fins, Mask defogger and just float and relax and enjoy the crystal blue sea, corals and underwater world. We enjoyed the vibrant colors and unusual marine life. We saw so wide species of fishes some looks blue, yellow, pink and bluish, angel fish, zebra fish so many fishes were there and we can also feed the fishes. We’ve had many spectacular unforgettable moments while snorkeling. I wanna snorkel for some more time but as it got late we left.

Kelingking Secret Point

The cliffs form in the shape of a Tyrannosaurus Rex at Kelingking Secret Point Beach. From secret point you can enjoy the view all the way down to the beach. This is the perfect spot to fully grasp the shape of the dinosaur or Kelingking. If you look at the picture below you can see the head with the mouth wide open on the left, while the tail seemingly wraps around to the right!

Angel Billabong 

An incredible natural infinity pool on Nusa Penida Island’s Southwestern cliff edge with its emerald hues and crystalline waters! The naturally formed rock lagoon offers a scenic seascape. With its emerald hues and crystalline waters, the Angel’s Billabong is the epitome of stunning. You can descend into its crystal-clear rock pools for a swim or a soak, but only during low tide. It’s an epic natural pool where the waves crash in from the ocean.Angel’s Billabong is one of the magical spots you can’t help but marvel at.

Broken Beach

Then we went to Broken Beach. Where there are reach of cliffs 50-200 meters high. Cliff circular shape and the middle forming holes like caves or tunnels sea. The sea water as if caught in the middle of the cliff that makes it seem a big pond. Broken Beach (Pasih Uug) has big natural pool, with about a hundred meters in diameter, created by sea abrasion and collapsed limestone hill in million years ago. This hole has 98 meter in diameter and offering unique and scenic view. Incredible views like heaven on earth where in a middle of a cliff there is a circular hole and tunnels that penetrate directly to the sea, with breathtaking views of the ocean and the cliffs. This mesmerizing place, you can’t find a beach like this in any parts of this world, except on Nusa Penida Island in Bali. Then from there we took return boat and reached Sanur did some shopping and returned back to hotel.

Returning back

Day – 6 Its time to say Bye bye to Bali. If I get a chance will surely explore Bali again 🙂 . In Bali I loved the Snorkeling Crystal Bay, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Air Panas Banjar Hot Springs, Buyan and Tamblingan Twin lake are the most unforgettable memories. I wish I’ll get a chance to do snorkel again to enjoy the crystal blue sea and underwater world. With loads of splendid memories, we boarded our return flight back to Bangalore. I wish to thank Rajiv , Shyamala , Rachana for all the planning’s and bookings.

Bali is a beautiful, magical, peaceful island where you can walk down the street and find something picturesque. Life is full of beauty. Notice it, Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces, smell the rain and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. 🙂

Mumbai Experience :-)

For the first time in my life I have traveled very far from my hometown, it was such a great experience filled with happiness, pain and unforgettable moments :-). One fine morning I was asked “Whether am I willing to travel” I didn’t even think about the Language ,the people, how many days I have to stay … how I gonna survive … but I just replied YES. Then I got the opportunity to travel to Mumbai in another 1-2 months . I expected they gonna send me somewhere onsite :-p but they are just sending to Mumbai… Hmm let me see how it gonna be.

My flight was on April 1st … I packed everything and I’m ready to travel, my mom and my brother family came to send off me. It was 1 hour before the flight departure there was a big surprise for me, my dad traveled so long and came to see me :-* :-). It was around 9.20, I have to start now, I said bye … and I was happy to see everyone :-)… I entered airport and checked in all my baggage and I boarded the flight. For the first time I’m travelling alone in flight 😮 … IndiGo flight it was , I choose window seat and One Aunt was sitting near me .. she helped in putting my belt … She was so kind, she started speaking with me. She was saying I was like her ‘Betee’ 🙂 … the flight landed safely we went to collect our checked-in baggage, she even helped in taking my baggage. She was so good , It was nice meeting her :-). Then i got my cab and went to IBIS hotel. It is an international hotel contains luxurious rooms. It’s just awesome hotel to stay :-*. Day 2: The second day was my birthday and the same day I have to report at my Client Location too, so I couldn’t celebrate my birthday. I reported at my client location and met all my new teammates and got my cubicle allocated. New place , new environment … I got Knowledge Transfer from my teammate who gonna leave in another 4 days. For the first few days I didn’t feel anything, then after I felt a tremendous difference. Because I stayed near to hometown, here its very far … I worked in a big organization with very clean , peaceful cubicle and beautiful campus full of greenery surrounded everywhere and a cool climate, here it is a very old dusty building where your desktop and keyboard will be full of dust, congested cubicle where you will be occupied by full of noise all the time and it’s summer without AC we can’t survive in Mumbai. Anyway have to manage and adjust with environment because “Love your job, don’t love your company”.

Then in few days I have to shift to apartment. One week went like that, I got a call from my friend Runu. She was saying she to gonna come to Mumbai. I was so happy I got a good companion :-). Work was not so hectic at the starting so we both planned to visit all the places in Old Mumbai. We both were scared of travelling by electric train only because of the heavy crowd. But we stayed in Navi Mumbai, so the cheapest and fastest mode of transportation is only by electric train. So we planned to choose train. For the first weekend we planned few places which includes 1) Gateway of India 2) Taj hotel 3) Marine Drive 4) Nariman Point 5) Aquarium . We traveled in the morning, and we reached CSMT station . Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus is formerly known as Victoria Terminus, is a historic railway station and it serves as the headquarters of the Central Railways. The station was built in 1887 in the Bori Bunder area of Mumbai to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The Architecture was so good and daily evening the railway station has been lit up with at least 16 million colorful lights to boost the city’s tourism and it looks so attractive. Then we came out of the station but the time we reached CSMT station it was very hot outside. Then we started visiting all the places . We took Mumbai taxi the black and yellow wala taxi and visited all the 5 places. But it was too sunny we couldn’t enjoy anything, and the beach was full of blue it doesn’t looks good and hot wind was blowing and we are totally exhausted. So we planned to leave early.

Then for the next weekend we planned to go in the evening so that we can see some lights. For Saturday we planned 1) Mumbai Zoo — Zoo was not maintained properly 2) Hanging Garden — Felt Bangalore park and our campus gardening are far better 3) Prince of Wales Museum and for Sunday we planned 1) Siddhivinayak Temple 2) Mahalakshmi Temple 3) Haji Ali — when u search in Google for ‘Haji Ali’ you will get a beautiful images … But when you go there by 4pm you will be totally disappointed !!! The path was full of beggars, and it was low tide so you can’t see blue sea water you can just see black and ugly stones and garbage everywhere.

And for Monday we planned 1) Colaba Market 2) Bandra Worli Sea Link – is a cable-stayed bridge that links Bandra in the Western Suburbs of Mumbai with Worli in South Mumbai. 3) Marine Drive.

Then we went to all nearby malls in navi Mumbai. Shopping at seawoods mall and watched Hollywood , Bollywood (Razi, Sanju, Gold, Love yatri , Avengers, Ant Man, Fall Out, Incredible 2) movies at InOrbit mall, Little World , Raghuleela Mall , Glomax Mall. Then it’s time for saying Bye to Runu as here Project will be on hold for next few months so she will be leaving by next week. So we again planned to visit all the places for the last time. This time we went little late and saw Mumbai city was glowing with full of lights. We 1) GateWay 2) Marine Drive 3) Bandra Worli Sea Link 4)And Haji Ali at night 5) CSMT with full of attractive lights. The tips was so good and we felt so happy !. Then we returned and in another few days she left Mumbai. I felt little alone in my flat. I remember those days we both used to prepare pop corn by 11pm 😀 and have fun. We used to take a walk in nearby road , and have Ice – cream at Naturals. And we both never forget the two Idly that we had for Rs 80 :-D. Then after I stopped ordering Idly in Mumbai hotels.

I found good friends in my office too. Whenever I get time I used to go to their flat and we used to prepare food, watch movie , play badminton. Those are unforgettable moments and I could never forget that walk in that road. Days passed like this… Rainy season starts. It was very difficult to got to office itself !!! You take an auto and you put on the screen still you will be drenched, you can carry umbrella but before opening your umbrella you will be drenched, in highway, roads everywhere you can see water flowing. In summer these plants and trees on hillside were so dried but in rainy season it looks full green !!! For the first time I experienced Mumbai rain.

It was festival season Dandiya, Navratri , Diwali celebrations starts!!! Garba dances, which were always performed in Goddess Durga’s honour. From our office they arranged Garba dance and we enjoyed a lot 🙂 . For Diwali they decorated every cubicle and in apartments also you can see lights everywhere. One good thing staying in Mumbai is you will get more leaves and you will get more sweets to eats :-D. Then work starts to become hectic. We got more requirements which has to be completed within short duration . And most of the requirements we won’t get any sign off in expected time and after completion of the requirements some got dropped it was so frustrating !!! Some time in flat also nobody stayed, days started turning bad ! I can’t stay anymore in Mumbai 😦 I wanna go back , I started missing my family , friends and I wanna stay somewhere where people are around me. Then in September I asked for release from this project, but Mumbai Manger and TL was not ready to give release. They extended the project upto December. Day by day work pressure is getting increased. I started feeling like why I accepted for another 3 months. I shouldn’t have accepted this … One thing I learnt “You have to speak up and no one will speak for you !!! You have to stay strong in your own decision and shouldn’t get convinced by others decision then don’t sit back and worry for it !” So I again spoke with manager and said I can’t stay and I said some reasons. Still manager was not accepting for release he was more angry 😀 . He shouted at me, he start to blame me !!! Anyway, I didn’t bother about it !!! This time I stayed strong and I got my release date finally on December 7th . It was the same date I joined infy in the year 2015 🙂 Finally I got me return ticket confirmed. It’s time to say Bye to Mumbai and Mumbai friends.

It was 9 months long journey filled with unforgettable moments, where I get chance to meet people from various states for India, and project experience and more. Collect moments , not things. It’s a big world out there, so travel and experience it 🙂 Thanks for reading Hope you like it 🙂

A trip to Ooty ( Queen of Hill Stations)

         Hello All, I’m here to share my recent trip to Ooty . I went to few places in TN which includes kanyakumari, kodaikanal, kumbakonam, kutralam, madurai, papanasam, rameshwaram, tanjore, thiruchendur, vellore and few places in Kerala which includes thenmala, munnar, kovalam, palaruvi. Most of the trip was 2 to 3 days. But in Ooty we explored only 1 day, still it was so good and I loved the trip so much. We started from our hometown by 11am in our “Ertiga” . We crossed madurai. After crossing all these multiple floor building, luxury apartments , bridges and flyovers, polluted air, very few trees … our car still moving in National Highway but both the sides covered by greenery and mountain ranges. The peaks were shrouded in mist and the green plants that make the place looks attractive.I was sitting at the back seat, enjoying all these scenes and capturing the beauty with my camera. Then we stopped by Thalappakatti Biriyani Hotel- (its a famous  for Biriyani in dindigul district) and had our lunch there. Then the car entered from land side to small hill areas and road is OK, not very steep hairpin bends from there you can see the land area with full of night lights. After crossing these 36 hair pin bends, reached Ooty by 8pm. We stepped out and Felt the gentle breeze off the air …

We stayed in the Paradise resort. Had our dinner with hot mushroom soup and went to room slept nicely. The next day morning … the weather was so good, even though the time is rainy season, fortunately my trip went without any rain. I just opened the window screen, the view was perfect.. The morning mist had lifted and the sun was starting to come through. We had our breakfast and started to explore.

First we went to Doddabetta Peak (Doddabetta is the highest mountain in the Nilgiri Hills at 2,637 metres. ) we reached there by 9.30 am it was not so crowded at that time. So we parked our car and the temperature was 12 C. The mountain villages seem to be permanently shrouded in mist. But it was a very nice walk indeed. The weather, mist, and the natural beauty added it’s own charm. Due to the cold, my hands were frozen 😀 so I captured a few pics and then we left. I’m sure you would enjoy this place.

Second we went to Benchmark Tea Factory. Take a surprise walk into the history of tea and get to know how this wonderful food product was prepared. Got free guidance from their professional guides, also they present you everything from process to tasting. We tasted the delicious tea prepared fresh from Nilgiri estates. The Tea Available at the Tea Museum, are exquisite and specially crafted Tea souvenirs that friends and relatives back home might simply love.

Third we visited the widely known Government Botanical Garden. It has a terraced layout and covering an overall area of 55 acres. Ooty Botanical Garden is such a magical place that it is bound to enchant you! Luxuriant, green, well maintained lawns stretch out seemingly endlessly with charming pathways for visitors to pass through. The lawns and pathways are bordered with vibrant flowering bushes and ferns making for a pictorial setting. The swirling mists and the cool weather only add to the charm! It was such a pleasure walking around the green garden and bound to leave you feeling happy and refreshed! Adding few pictures for you to check out.

Fourth we visited Rose Garden. It was a bummer this time of the year. There were not many flowers! Not that big of a shocker since it was completely off-season. But I would have loved to see more blossomed roses. The architecture of the whole garden is very nice and intriguing. There are 5 terraces, one below the other. One has to climb down to reach each terrace. And each terrace has different species and different type of rose flowers planted there. There are lots of small arches where you can take very nice frame-worthy pictures. And I added few Rose pictures here.

Fifth we went to Pykara Lake. Pykara Boat House is located on Pykara lake. there are several type of boats available for rides. Pykara Boat House, is neat,clean & very well maintained . For 350 rs you can hire a boat,which can accommodate 4 to 6 members, you have the option for hiring power boat also, which costs you 550 rs for 20+ minutes of ride. Also Pykara Boat House, consists of cafeteria.So no need of worrying if you are hungry. We 3 members so we choose power boat. Boat ride is a thrilling experience, when the boat went between the dense forest, I felt like riding in Amazon river 😀 the cool breeze,cool environment makes you feel so much relaxed. I went to 4-5 boat rides but Pykara Boat ride was just awesome !!!  And Pykara Falls, is located 1km after Pykara boat house. I heard its one of the beautiful falls. We don’t have time to visit. Hope you would enjoy visiting all these place.

Sixth we went to Shooting Point: Shooting point is a popular destination and about 7 km from Ooty. This place is also known as 9th mile since it is located at a distance of 9 miles from Ooty. It is known for its landscape those days. Most of the 90s Bollywood movies have been shot here. It is a stretch of clear meadows amidst the woods. You have the option of horse-riding or can explore the place on foot! best way is explored on foot.  View of the entire valley is very charming. We need to trek for about 500 meters to reach the top. The view of the Nilgiris ranges is beautiful. We get to see a few lakes from the distance and lovely meadows in the horizon. Nice range of scenery, one can hang out for a while here.

Few more places that you can visit are Avalance Lake, Emerald Lake, Ooty Lake, Sim’s Park, Lamb’s Rock, Dolphin’s Nose, Needle Rock View Point,

Toda, Kamaraj Sagar Dam ,Nilgiri Mountain Railway. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR) is a 1,000 metre gauge railway in Tamil Nadu, India, built by the British in 1908 and is operated by the Southern Railway. NMR is the only rack railway in India.

I wish to go by Nilgiri Mountain Rail … will see next time 😉

Overall the trip was Awesome !!! . Ooty is a nice place to enjoy for honeymoon couples. 😉 But I went with my parents 😀

We do not remember days, we remember moments – Mcity and Shols moments.

After long time, I again came to write something in my blog were I store my memories, I’m happy. Thanks to my brother to show me something beautiful to showcase my memories. Let me start. This is a next step in my journey after completion of my Mysore training. I ever keep on saying wanna study at “National University of Singapore” 😀 but I would never try for that. But my Mysore training was nearly equal to that . I loved it so much , those luxurious ECC, awesome RC with swimming pool and bowling center, training classes at GEC , weekends at Multiplex , nice climate and clean environment , unforgettable moments , still struggled hard to complete the training then finally came out with flying colors which made a wonderful part of my life. Then the day comes we have to leave from Mysore DC…. There was heavy rain when I’m leaving … Mysore Miss me 😉 I too miss Mysore, all my friends, educators. Bye bye Mysore I’ll still keep visiting :-*. After 9 hr bus journey we landed on M-city at one fine morning. Ooo very humid its sweating weather was too hot at the month of May. I was there about one and a half month in bench enjoying :-D. M-city was equal to Mysore so it’s manageable. I like M-city too. Stayed for 5 days in M-city ECC with AC . The Tea cup they provide along with milk powder and tea bags, Bru or Sunrise I missed it. It was superb.

Don’t wanna leave from ECC any how they won’t allow me so me and my friend searched for hostel finally found one but went for without food. Wanna eat campus food Idiyappam. I remember in Mysore I’ll daily claim mountain to reach Arena FC to get Appam with egg curry, the same happens in M-city too for Idiyappam . The food court , cafeteria was good. Here also swimming pool, RC with bowling center, Cafe Coffee Day, parlor , gift shop and super market same as Mysore everything is inside campus. There was a pond with big fishes in front of food court. Me and my friends sit beside the pond and enjoyed watching it. There was also a small boat house, Takeshi’s castle rocks and a boat in a pond. I enjoyed M-city too.

The day comes … I think that was the end of all my happiness. One fine morning I got a call from TA. He said there was a project requirement in Shols are you willing to shift to Shols. I said NOOOOOO. He replied wait wait let me explain about the project then you decide. WMG was good project, its very easy one “Mane thenae ponn mane” … They mesmerized. Then I said ok will shift to Shols. I was travelling from Micty to Shols in Shuttle. I was into the project. Then again searched for hostel then shifted to Shols. I left M-city. Only one and a half month I spend in that beautiful place. My M-city friends said “Hey don’t go be in M-city itself, search project here itself”. But I didn’t hear their words. Later I felt it’s my fault. Cool people, nice environment and one of the biggest DC with 9 SDB where people celebrate every function very grandly. Oh God! I really missed it.

Then I landed on shols. Very small STP with 7 blocks mostly Uncle’s aur Aunt all senior people. Only SDB 7 looks some what cool. With swimming pool, a small conne xions, Gym, Table tennis, Basket ball ground, Carrom board and some other games. I always wanted to play table tennis but I never get a chance for that I missed in Mysore too. Only thing is we have to bring our own table tennis bat and ball, which I don’t have. I wish to play Carrom board too but I did’t have a good companion, all my friends here are workaholic :-D. Then I was into project, the dark days begins. Training was only for 10 days. Without knowing anything I was into project. I struggled but still I learnt. For the first time, I can’t complete the whole page. I left at 8 pm. The next day TL and Manager questioned me “Why you didn’t complete”. For the next time, I worked hard I tried my best it was 10.45 pm more than 12 hours I worked. Finally, Robin Schulz site was successfully launched at 12. Even if I worked this much still I got bad words the next morning Manager questioned “Why you stayed this long” but the day before night he said “Complete and leave” this used to happen. They still expected more. Assigning 3 task a day, must complete it with bug fixing. Completed that too. They started to dump more and more work. My TL is who never ever show mercy. He who scold another person when they came to help me. So, can’t ask help from anyone in the lab. My place was at the corner where no one is sitting near me. I felt very bad as a fresher no one to guide me. I become insane. I lost my smile. I was dying slowly. Then they planned to throw me away started to give regression tickets were there won’t be any learning. I bear it. Then they moved me under new TL. They shifted me to new place. It was somewhat ok compared to the lonely old place. The person next to me was so helping mind. Thank you very much. Some 3 more persons who showed mercy on me. Around 50 were there inside lab. Every one hated me except two of my hostel mate. Then got new work they assigned Turnkey toaster. Unnecessarily Mang. was scolding in front of everyone saying me to send mail to onsite people and asking me to attend calls. After long process then finally one day turnkey toaster got end. They planned not to assign any work to me. Even if I completed my work QA people won’t start testing for my page. Then Mang. Planned to move me to QA. As QA was full of manual testing also there was one Devil in QA. I said I wanna work in some other technology so I asked for release. Some people are angry that I’m getting release. Those are days I lost my peace, joy, love. No smile in my face, I lost my happiness. Were many people avoided me. I felt like I’m all alone, I lost my friendship. Can’t hang out with friends not even having time for tea break.

Then I got release and came out from the dark cave. But still the Evil spirit was around me keep on itching. My friends said “Give them Itch guard” “If they scold, scold them back” “You are not a ball to throw you away”. Be bold enough. Don’t be silent, speak up. You are working for your Org. and not for wmg. No need to fear of those Evil and Devils. Still I donno how the new cave be. Anyhow I’ll face it, I smiled I left away from that project. I felt sad and wrote in my diary too and my friend read it one day then I remembered what I wrote in my diary came true. Usually what I’m expecting won’t happens. But this time it happens. Thank you baba. May be the Jenma problem got tallied with that person for me, if not for sure YOU will get back everything in return.

Then moved to bench again. I saw my friends. Went for tea break too. Then started working in Accelerate task. Two of the task was completed with 4 out of 5 stars. It was related to JAVA. I remembered my training again. Anyhow daily scrum calls, fetching data from data base and working on tool was good enough. Mang., TL, team was nice. Struggling for a system, still the Evil spirit is around the same environment. Asking me to attend training at M-city at 6 am and asking to attend MANA training at M-city for one month. Mind voice saying : Will do my Accelerate work , will attend training which I wish. You are not my Mang. Any more Get lost.

Then after some few days I enjoyed  few festivals. Onam celebration with dance programs. Then Christmas celebration was good I participated in two competition and got gift from Santa Claus. Drawing on balloons and rubber band separation 😀 Kids singing Jesus songs got some plum cake at the end of the function. Some few days before new year was DJ night. I missed it in Mysore. Here I went, I was standing at the back and watching silently. I wanted to dance but I didn’t 😉 any how it’s good. At the month of January Pongal celebration. Me and my friends went, there were pot breaking, Pongal making, Kolam, Mayil Attam, Kavadi Attam.

Then I’m happy to say I started drawing again. Drawing and posting it on Instagram. As of now only this much. I donno how the next post will gonna be. Anyhow BABA is always there with me. I feel the warmth of His presence and the light of His love for me gently healing the wounds of the past that are buried deep inside me, the soul… wounds left by ego, fear, sorrow, jealousy, hatred, anger that have reduced my happiness all this while… I feel a deep feeling of emotional freedom inside me, I feel light and my happiness is restored… If you wanna be happy ever … Be BABA child and do yoga regularly. Om santhi.

Wonderful Mysore days…

After completing Engineering, I was waiting for my offer letter and date of joining. One fine morning I got my date of joining. I need to report on Dec 6,2015. Before that I have to be prepared with my documents for verification … Finally all the works completed and I start to pack my bags. I booked my tickets to Mysore. This time I can’t come to home for every weekends as I did in my college days :'(….

The day Dec 6,2015 morning 11 am I landed on Mysore along with my parents and my brother. The check-in process begins at Gate-2 then we entered the beautiful campus. There was a big queue standing, you can find people from all over India. Then the queue start to move slowly. Then they checked our bags after that we had our breakfast. Then I went to attend Induction program they provide ID card to all of us. Everyone got tag with different colors and mine was”RED” tag. I always like that red tag very much…Then it was nearly evening 4 pm all parents start to leave the campus … My mom,dad, brother are leaving 😥 ….  The moment  was same as I felt on the first day they joined me in hostel for my graduations… bye ma…they left from food court Fiesta then left through gate 2.

Already I stayed in hostel for 4 years, so training for 5 months doesn’t matter for me. Then the very next day induction program and all details about the training starts. I found new friends,some are my best friends who are still in touch with me. Then on my first weekend we went to Mysore for shopping and have fun, enjoyed. Then next day me and my friend went to multiplex that was the first and also last movie it was just a animated film. It was good. After that every weekend we are busy so there is no time to see movies … 😦 anyhow I’ll go one day to see the movie in multiplex again 🙂

I love my room very much. Before joining I read in a blog  these lines “You love your room very much, but you will be coming very rarely to your room”. These lines become true…

Those rooms were full furnished, luxurious. Staying there, roaming around the campus, and going to attend training you will feel like staying in Singapore and doing a course in NUS. I always dreamed of studying in NUS, these  5 months of training give me the experience of studying in a foreign nation. They also kept kettle and a black mug I love that mug very much…  I never missed to have tea. Sugar , Amulya , Tea bags are provided 🙂

It was Christmas time there are many events going around the campus me and my friends went to Fiesta. It was evening time there are many competition going on … participated , have fun then had our dinner and came back to room… “Merry Christmas” … 🙂

 

I stayed in Block-81 it was very far from GEC-2 nearly I have to walk 2.5 km in morning and at night I will take cycle. While returning to room it will be down slope so its easy it ride cycle … Enjoyed cycle riding …. One plus point for people in Block -81 and above food court, loyal world and laundry will be very nearer … One day we bought cup noodles and enjoyed at room. Those days while staying in hostel its so difficult washing clothes in hands and step up 3 floors. But here in ECC it was so good we can put our cloths in laundry and dryer , iron box everything is available… Also there will be lift and escalator everywhere…. ECC was always good. My maggiee … taste it 🙂

Every Saturday evening there will be water dance in front of GEC-2. That day I completed my first FA-1 in generic. Then me and my friends sat on the steps in front of GEC-2 … After the exams its good to see the water dance …

Then FA-2 passes … The next day there was singing competition. Some of my friends participated we went to see the competition … Hindi, Teulgu, Tamil songs were sung.

Then FA-3 project was going on I got 4th module. Four members in a team , I was so happy my friend also the same team. My team leader was also so good. We completed our project, integrated and successfully done. Got good marks too…Then one the next day we wrote objective. Our batch owner arranged for group Pic … All our educators came and clicked group Pic in front of GEC-2 the day was unforgettable … It was last day of Generic … All our Generic educators were so good and I miss my Generic class mates … Total 98 trainee from all over India … We enjoyed our Generic.

Then we had Design thinking program it was good… They provide color papers to make all those models… our team performed well. Usually I like paper cuttings very much so I did some of  the models in my team…

 

Before entering into Stream training there was 3 days holiday … And there was sunidhi chauhan show conducted by SPARK … So we went to foot ball stadium and enjoyed the show…

Then JAVA Stream training starts it was not so good as Generic, because there will be very less time but more things to learn. Then my first FA-1 of generic was over me and my friends went to Bowling… There are many games in RC. I like to watch mountain claimbing, basket ball… then table tennis – I wished to play but I missed it… Then went to Bowling at the beginning I found difficult to put a goal then at end I put 2 goals 😀 ….Huree

Then FA-2 of Stream was over … We are so tired I start to miss my home 😦 … me and my friend sat at Amphitheatre then enjoyed watching birds and evening sky … Arena was so beautiful place where I get my favorite dish “Appam” and also i met many new friends… The Arena location was also so good at evening time it will be so good to have a cup of tea :-)….

The next there was a shooting going inside the campus that night they put lights in multiples it was Awesome…

Then FA-3 was over … I wanna so this beautiful place of Mysore to my parents I invited then and booked room in Guest house … They also enjoyed. We went to nearby Zoo and I took them to new swimming pool which was opened few days before…

Then FA-4 project was going on … Our project was also completed. Results came… I have improvement exams 😦 Everyone got their location and release mail my friends start to move from Mysore But a few got Rescaling and Upscaling and stayed with me … I was all alone with some new people and wrote the exams… Those days I can’t even enjoy anything, not like to smile and didn’t watch pigeon through the GEC-2 2nd floor window. Days passes, those 10 days I wrote 3 exams from Friday to next Friday… This time all the exams were good. Anyhow I told myself and parents get prepared for both … One is getting into company or moving out from the company… The results came at night 9 pm I went with my friend to GEC-2 … Oh BABA please save me I opened fp/ … Result was “GOOD”… Qualified FP …. I won 🙂 .. Then I enjoyed the last few day until I get my release mail… Went to GEC-1 it was very good compared to GEC-2 they have gardening inside and lift and escalator also so good … Rainy season starts in Mysore … The climate was so good … I start to miss Mysore …

 

I love GEC-2 library very much… It was a largest library … Peaceful moments in library was so good … At evening time the sun rays enter through the glasses looks beautiful … The AC also so good … You can find all DC Pic in library. Every time while going to library I’ll be looking all the DC Pic…

The day I got my release mail. I booked my tickets and packed my bags.I met all my friends, I met Ruchi  and said bye … I missed them. Next day I returned my keys … And I gave my “RED” tag and got my “BLACK” tag … Huree I got my black tag 🙂 … It was raining heavily I was standing outside waiting for cab they took us and dropped near Fiesta … The same place where I entered and the same place where I left. Took selfie with my friends … the rain didn’t stops…  Mysore is saying don’t leave 🙂 I miss Mysore DC…

Those 5 months of training came to “The end” lovely moments, kind friends, beautiful DC, comfortable ECC, good RC, fantastic GEC … will never returns back … Wanna to be there again as a trainee. “Those memories live in my heart forever and can never be replaced”… Thank you BABA for all those things you have offered to me…

Most beautiful GEC-2 :-* ….. Missing Mysore DC. I’ll see you again one the next kalpa 🙂

My hobby

I love drawing very much , I wish to draw all small things that attract my eyes. I like nature drawing very much and wish to give my drawings to my friends. I usually participate in school level competitions and got prizes. It was fifth std there was a big competition, the theme is to draw Asiatic leapord. I didn’t even saw that animal but I have to draw it. Still 2 days more, then I planned to keep tiger as a model and draw a leapord more or less the same face and in body I put black dots instead of strips.I do not got any prizes but happy to say they believe its a Asiatic leapord ;-). My drawing tools.

And one of the drawing I give it to my friend. If anybody wish you may ask , willing to give my drawing as a presents… Bye 🙂

Playing with toys

I still remember those beautiful days , there were no tension no work and I’m a free bird ,only thing is playing, playing, playing :-). When I was studying L.K.G there will be school only for half a day , after reaching home I will start to play with my toys. If I got 2 rupee I will spent one for getting a toy and the remaining for chocolates.So each day the collection of toys was increasing ,a sack was not enough to dump it up. I usually built a toy house it contains all rooms as a real house. You could cook in the kitchen it contains all the utensils, you could take rest on the bed room, watch the tv, play on the ground with small bat & ball and more… You just can play with your toys but its not as luxurious as Barbie house, its as little as Ooggy’s house 😉

How is it ? wanna cook with it ? you can cook dosa, chappathi, rice and more 😉 Shhh….These are some of the remaining I kept it safe till now because I gave many toys to my kids friends.

Small teddy bears it was round up in a band and the collection of cards. So many cards I have because of eating cheetos but not now.

I have a car its a present, it still moves as fast as its first move I move it everywhere on the floor, wall, ground where ever I wish 😉 Happy to see all those toys anyhow I’m not able to save all of those toys, but a few still remains forever as my remembrance.Bye have a nice day.

My High School Enjoyments

I love my school more than my college. It was so enjoyable moments in my life time, I miss all my friends, teachers and more.It was a school which taught how to be bold, confidence, respect and shaped me in my life. If there is an another one chance in my life to study in my high school definitely I won’t miss it :). As days passes, still I remember each and every moments. It was stress less and happiest life ever.
I use bicycle to reach my school. If the school starts at 9.00am I will maintain punctuality that I leave my home at 8.45 or 8.50am and reach school sharply at 8.55 or 9am not only me alone my friends also HAHAHA. All the students will assemble in ground for prayer but only one section will be missing. Do u know which section it is…. Its our 12th Maths biology group. :P. Because none of my class mates will do work properly. If an assignment is given then we will be writing until 9am, then the staff will announce our class in mike on the prayer. Not to say the best class, but “the worst class”.Hehe
As it was HSS exam there will be class test each and every day :(. Especially BOTANY test. I like both Botany and Zoology but not want to memorize those Botanical and Zoological names. But its difficult for me anyhow I scored good marks. Only one name in Botany was so nice… Its “Mirablis Jalapa” its a name of 4 ‘o’ clock plant. I could remember it because this plant has been grown in my home it still exists.
Exams were severe but we peoples won’t bother. Every day morning 5pm I will prepare for my Botany test but soon before starting the test I forget everything :P. Three are my close friends in my class of them one is class topper its “Suriya” and we three are at same level. Me and Joice we stand outside the class with some crew at Botany class “Outstanding students” the reason is got the single digit marks Hehe…That day my mam was so angry we were standing out there was a note flowing outside from the class oh whose note it is…before seeing a girl has been pushed out. I can’t believe my eyes I looked Joice hooo then I confirm its my friend Suriya .There was a loud laugh at her, mam just came out who is that idiot shhhh its me. I try to hide but see caught me up I think I got a beat and scoldings. Hehe but it dosen’t pain now. I just can share here but can’t go again to stand outside my class or with my friends…. Ok fine Thank you friends … Thanks for reading 🙂
