Disaster in Japan

Its very pain and devastation in Japan where this massive earth quake hitting.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone there.

This tsunami has swept away the roads, houses and everything on its way, highways smashed, telephone lines snapped, and it left people homeless. This is the time the humanity in each and everyone should awake. This is the time to support one another.

I prayed to God today, that peace and wellness be with those people and allow people to have food and necessary things for their daily hood to be adequate and i want to tell them the whole world is with them to support.

Let us join our hands and pray together, Get Well Soon Japan.

దేవుడి కృపకు అందరూ పాత్రులే... కానీ ఆ కృపను పొందటానికి మన దగ్గర సరి అయిన పాత్ర ఉన్నదా? ఆందుకు మనం సిద్దంగా  ఉన్నామా అని పరిశీలించుకోవాలి మొదట.

గుడికి వెళ్తే అందరితో  కలిసి వెళ్ళమని చెప్పేది మన సంప్రదాయం...ఎందుకు?

ఏదయిన బాధ నలుగురితొ పంచుకుంటే తరుగుతుంది, అదే సంతోషం ఆ నలుగురితో పంచుకుంటే పెరుగుతుంది అని...

భగవంతుడి దగ్గరకు వెళ్ళినప్పుడు మనలో ఎన్నో విషయ వాంఛలు విషయ బాధలు సహజంగానే మూట కట్టుకుని వెళ్తాం... యే మూలో కొద్దిగ సంతొషం ఉన్నప్పటికినీ అప్పుడు ఉన్న బాధలు కోరికలు దాన్ని మింగేస్తాయి...ఆందుకోసం గుడికి వెళ్ళినప్పుడు నలుగురితొ కలిసి వెళ్ళాలి...

నలుగురిలో మనం అనే భావన వల్ల  ఆ బాధలనేవి ఏమున్నాయో అవి తరుగుతాయి...వాంఛలనేవి ఏమున్నాయో అవి ఎంత వరకు మనకు అవసరమో...ఎంత వరకు మనము అర్హులమో అనె ఆత్మ పరిశీలన  కలుగుతుంది.... ఏ మూలో మూసేసిన సంతొషం ఇంతింతై అన్నట్టు  దేవుడి కరుణ కటాక్ష  వీక్షనాలతో రెట్టింపవుతుంది...ఆ భగవంతుడి  దర్శన భాగ్యంతో  మనసు పారవశ్యం చెంది ఎంతొ ధైర్యాన్ని  మనశ్శాంతిని మన మనసు నింపుకుంటుంది...


గుడికి వెళ్ళినప్పుడు ఆ స్వామి అనుగ్రహదాహంతో  అర్రులు చాచేలా  మన మనస్సు అనే పాత్రతో ఖాలీగా వెళ్ళలి గాని... అర్థం లేని కొరికలతో...ద్వేషంతో...అసూయతొ నింపుకుని...మన కోరికల కంటె పక్క వాళ్ళకు  ఎదో ఉందని, అంతకంటే ఎక్కువ నాకు కావాలనే ఆశతో మనం  భగవంతుడి ముందు చేయి చాపుతున్నాం.


స్వామి ముందు కళ్ళు మూసిన ఒక్క క్షణం "మన" అన్న అహం మరచిపోయి ఒక్క క్షణం భగవంతుడి మీద మన దృష్టి నిలిపి ఒక్కసారి  ఆలోచించండి... ఈ అనంత విశ్వం ఆ స్వామి సృష్టి, అందులో మనం ఒక రేణువు లాంటి వాళ్ళం మాత్రమే ...ఇంత సృష్టిని కాపాడే ఆయన మనల్ని కూడా  కాపాడతాడు అనే విశ్వాసం నింపుకున్న  కళ్ళతో మనకు ఆ స్వామి ప్రేమ తప్ప అన్యమయినది ఏది సహించలేని ఆర్తితో ఆయన ముందు మోకరిల్లుదాం.

Alliance "Best Team" Outing - Songs of the Earth

Team - when i listen about it, i felt alone as till i joined Alliance global especially the SNLxl Team, i never find so friendly people around me. I cant say there were no Friends for me earlier in earlier companies, but i find all the people who are same levels of mindsets and thought that match the same wavelengthth. To say frankly i saw a good team environment here. Everyone working for same goal and with same spirits and same height is motivation towards our team goal.  And what not this team effort gave us a fruit of success with Best Team award for quarter2 giving a identity to our team as "Alliance Global Service Quarter 2 Best Team Award Winners". This gave a bonus of going out with the team. And think now how it goes outing with such team members is definitely results a good memories.

So we started the rain started sprinkling buckets of water cleaning all over the world around the city. We taken a break at pizza hut for lunch waiting the rain to stop and give us  a way to our day to continue next.  But we never turned our toes back. We went ahead for what we planned.We started to the resorts in the rainy minutes.

We moved from hi tech city  to gachibowli taking road with all that multi storied high tech buildings showing the engineering power of India. Then the road to Gandipet, Mokila and shankarpalli gave us fascinating experience. It was like full holiday moments filled inside us with mesmerising power of nature filling our hearts we moved ahead capturing all those gifts of nature that flashed before eyes.

The nature made us forget all the world around us. Its like leaving behind all workloads, all deadlines, all scrum calls and all meeting tensions. It was all a great day which we never thought of.I just saw a small glance of nature's beauty on that day.

We played Cricket, Golf, Volley ball over there. Fellows are very tired by en of sports. A hot tea for that movement and snacks to refill is like re energizing our souls from the burdens of complete enjoyment. The event soon jumped favoring boys with swimming and DJ dancing. Of course we(girls) left to enjoy the nature alone and future family dreams to come with our families over there, we enjoyed a different flavor that time.

After all that dream world, we took rest with dinner and set back to return to our world feeling like leaving behind the heaven that gave us such beautiful memories for life long.

"Songs of the Earth" really played bbeautiful rhythms and music bits in our life for that day. I am sure everyone had a plan to come with their family next time to the same place very soon.

Secret of Moonlight - వెన్నెల రహస్యం

ఈ ఆకాశం రాత్రి దుప్పటిని కఫ్పుకునే వేల, తలుకు బెలుకుల తారకలు చంద్రుని చేరటానికి పయనించిన వేల,ఎప్పుడు తన ప్రియుని దర్శనం అవుతుందా అని ఎదురు చూపులతో కంటి కాంతులు సన్నగిల్లిన చెలియలను పలకరిస్తూ తారకల నడుమ నుండి మెల్లగా, నీలి మేఘాలపై తేలియాడుతూ, ప్రణయ  సింహాసనం అధిష్టించిన ఆ పాల నురుగు తెల్లని నిండు చంద్రుడు నల్ల కలువ భామలను పలకరించిన చూపులలోని వెలుగే కదా ఈ జగతినంతా మురుపించి  మైమరపించే ఈ వెన్నెల రహస్యం.

Object Oriented Mornings

Every mornings are not same so as every day.

I wonder how some days gets a big change in our lives while some days are just idle before teaching a lesson.

It seems to be some days are giving us chance to be prepared for next coming challenges like we had preparation holidays for exams. J

Most of changes happens either because of some of our action we did earlier or some things happen because of people around us.

When learning is our attitude and fighting is rooted in our senses, we never turn from students to dictators. For life, is good if we are like students.

But when we try to become dictators, we should be brave enough to accept whatever the results that come on the way.

Great people up to whom I know, have corners where they became dictators of their days. They plan it accordingly with utmost care and perfection and estimation that even their expectations fail, they have alternate results in hand which also given them the same result as they want. May be in their plan they know the action plans to follow when multiple choices are changed at runtime.

May be we all code around such concepts daily related to Object oriented, to our coding perspective, we know well what objects will be loaded, how it behaves and what values it contains and where those values change at runtime. We plan our projects choosing different design patterns making it most loosely coupled so that any unexpected or additional changes can be taken care of.

I have this idea this morning...why dont we start implementing this and see the Object Oriented mornings that project our daily objects and goals.

When it Rains in Hyderabad

When it rains in Hyderabad, what happens?

Who ever have living experience at hyderabad, immediately may say ohh! shit!! because of blocked traffic, blocked roads with sewage and water stocking at each and every 'X' roads and circles. No one knows where the man-holes are open. I think people have to have a stick with them like the people with blindness to walk in the roads when it rains.

What not can be said about these tough and terrible situations that should be beared by people. But but but....there is always a good part about it is the clean air surrounding people. In general, the air is filled up with carbon extracts nothing can be seen so clear on roads with normal vision can be seen very clearly when it rains as if some one has cleaned the glass door of our eyes to watch the bathed nature in its true form.

After rain bath, Trees(ofcourse very less appear on roads) are  appear to be really beautiful. We, Humans may or may not be really enjoying hte rain but the plats really enjoy it. They never runs away from rain but they acccept the nature in its full form with their welcoming hands moving to and fro as if they are saying "Hi and Hello" to their childhood friends who came to visit their home with lots of lovely gifts.

Whatever, nature gifts are always ignored by Humans. They always think business how to use it to make money. Ultimately thats why humans are suffering from all the results having rivalry with nature.

Some beautiful after rain photo here for you....

Good Husband Vs. Happy Life

Today it raised n my mind who is called a good husband. Anyhow its all about a small discussion gone among my frineds. As its all time of marriages, some of my frinds who are still single started defining husbands about their GOOD and BAD.

The inititals voting gone for questions like, a person called a GOOD husband if:

• He is a husband of GOOD wife
• He is a person passed all rules of being GOOD husband (some basic rules may vary from one to one)
• Husband, who confirms himself as GOOD
• A person who satifies his BAD Wife
• A person who survives from his BAD Wife
• A husband who is sadi as GOOD by all the family members/relatives
• A person who is told by his frineds that his wife is so lucky to hve him as husband

Scenarios are here for voting. :)
I dont want to discuss detail about any of these questions which leads mymarried frineds come and beat me. ;)

What qualities will a girl looks in a person to be his husband may vary. One may look for better confotness in society to live with. Soem may look Love and understanding. Some may believe mutual respect. Some may believe having similar favours, likes and dislikes. Some may believe high social  value to have. Some stupids also may think just to have a guy as husband who they get married by their parents. And no more exceptions to those guys who are sold out to girls in terms of dowry, those girls are vey much living happily with their quality goods buyed in qholesale or retail markets of Bridegrooms.

What i think is rather than thinking having good or bad husband, one should think they are happy or not about their life. As i listened a person who is praised by his wife is not said to be good husband as my understanding a wife who feels proud about her husband will definitly living happily.

I know people always complain that some girls haivng good husband  but still that they are not happy with their life. GOOD is always used as an alternative for "useless" as per some  people,because people who cannot achieve anything and may pretend to be good.  As we say in telugu, మంచితనం అంటే చేత కాని తనం.Ofcourse this issue may lead to Prolonged hammering :) I want to just put an end line with a brief about having good husband Vs. Living Happy Life.

I will vote to those married couples, having bad ends at both sides, but still live happily with each other with better more understanding and respect towards each other.

Frangrance of Jasmine

Have a deep breath of fragrance of jasmines with closed eyes...an eternal smile raises deep from the heart mildly changing your mood to forget all the world around you for a second...makes you feel staying on the waves of ocean...feeling like flying under the clouds that are heavily loaded just about to rain with a throw of fresh air on your face with the smell of mud included...relieved from all pressures of deadlines and client calls...Its a treasure in your hair I say.

There are so many songs on jasmine in our telugu sung by the Great Ghantasala. One song immediately running in my heart is the song in Malleswari movie(old),... "manasuna malleala maala loogene...".

మనసున మల్లెల మాలలూగెనే


కన్నుల వెన్నల డోలలూగెనే

ఎంత హాయి ఈ రేయి నిండెనో

ఎన్ని నాళ్ళకీ బ్రతుకు పండెనో....
 
Heart will really fly away with the singer in this song...definitely you will stay silent for a while to come out of the spell of emotions surrounded your heart to become normal.
 
There is no comparison to the smell of jasmine to any perfumes or deodorants. No one are exception from the magic of Jasmines fragrance. Of course now a days very few girls are having flowers in hair. Its treated like uncultured in this ultra metro modern society. So sad that now flowers are only meant for festival decoration...and for devoting to God in temples or in marriages.

Making garland form the loose flowers is an art i should say. when we st rat tie-knot all the flowers to each other in  a rope...i like to watch the finger of people who are tieing flowers. They dance in an artistically way. You know it gives an excercise to fingers to roll on all ways round.

Think of  in this summer you are under the jasmine tree, the branches are dangling swing by the breeze, you are under the moon shine counting the stars..sleeping beside your mother listening to the stories heading on her hands...the beautiful memories are flying all around my mind...just thinking to disappear from here and immmediately go to home to my mother...now!!!

Helloo!! Is it LOVE?

Did any unknown person called you Helloo!! on road with a smile on his face? Did any one fell in love with you at first sight? And if anyone says it to you, will you smile at hime? What do you think if any person sing a song seeing you at aleast if he hums any song before you? But for sure some one has seen you and given expressions on their face..Mat be appreciating when oyu are really looking good, or surprised look when you are looking different from others or a look that makes you to turn your head away from them with a feeling that "what this bloody idiots always looking at girls?" Does any one followed you on road for a while? In any scenario that girls are facing on roads now a days, none feels any LOVE or atleast attraction towards those guys for sure.

If any person had done a drama like above mentioned before you, Do you feel "hey he is a hero in my life"? But, in movies  HERO does all these and we like him and come out of the theatre with a feel that " Oh! how good if we have a person lie him in our life!! then life will be so colorfull with rainbows on head...rain in hands and foot in air...". Bull shit!!! We seriously think baout the heroine and her family to accept the hero for doing all such dramas.

Two people who are financially stable and responsible for their life and who are fullfilling their duties towards their families...and those who know each other in person, and know each others habits, likes-dislikes and ambitions and goals and then have to think about the future life by marrying him or her. If still they think or feel to complete their incomplete life with him or he as life partner then they can go ahead and get married. They doesnt need their family consent when they are much strong enough to face the society and life with all the ups and downs of their worlds.

I say people who are able to see their future with responisiblity as their one eye and society as their second eye, only have right to  LOVE and get marry with whom ever they like in thier life.

People who think that they have all guts to face challenges in life who are still students or still not financially stable, whould concentrate on their career first. If they do then these are the most successfull people in their proffession.

Its all about my views and thoughts...comments are most welcome!!!
