What is Bad about you??

Nobody is Perfect in this world.. All of us will have something bad in us when it comes to our characters.. My friend Srinidhi wanted me to find those flaws in our friend's characters and write about the same.. This is just what I feel.. No hard feelings please and sorry if I am wrong.. Here I go,

Let me start off by writing some bad things about me first.. This is me for you,

1) I am a Scorpion( an addict).. I like trying new things, but somehow can't come out of it..
2) I easily trust everyone which might lead to my downfall sometimes..
3) I get into a lot of debts, spend a lot of money and do not know how to manage Money.. ( Trying hard to learn that now though.. Thanks to Nidhi and Navya )..

This list is never ending.. So, I think its time for me now to point out a few flaws in your characters..

Akash - 1) You chumma shout at others without even knowing the true facts sometimes..

Bharath - 1) You think that you are always right and you want others to feel the same.. I know you will be right 99% of the time.. But then, nobody is perfect..

Chethan - 1) You do not keep any secrets( Better you change that soon mate ).. 2) You are less sensible sometimes..

Kumar - 1) You think more than usual before taking any decision..

Khaleel - 1) You love everyone.. 2) You are very short-tempered sometimes.. 3) You assume certain things and get yourselves into trouble..

Kiran Raj and Kiran Kumar - I am not able to find out any flaws in your characters.. Will tell you in person if I find something wrong in you for sure..

Madhu - 1) You get irritated very soon.. People might get some fun in troubling you, but you have to take it in the right spirit and enjoy the moment.. 2) You are a cricket addict( not an enthusiast ) because of which may you neglect your family sometimes..

NDTV recently showed how the life of a newly married couple had taken a beating all because of IPL..

Navya - 1) You quarrel a lot with your parents( Understand that whatever they do is for your good only ).. 2) You find a bug in almost everything( I know thats your job, but then sometimes I feel you over-do your job )..

Nidhi - 1) You get close to everyone very easily and sometimes without even judging them properly.. 2) You become very moody sometimes ( I must say that it has reduced quite a lot now )..

Rajatha - 1)You do not take the comments given by your friends sportively..

Ravi - 1) You take everything and everyone for granted..

Sendhil - 1) You sometimes resist yourself from talking DM.. 2) You are careless sometimes( Still remember that incident where you forgot to send the web.xml file during the final assessment )..

Srinidhi - 1) You trust everyone easily which sometimes might lead to your downfall mate.. So be careful.. 2) You save a lot of money( I must say all ).. Whom are you saving it for?? Common dude, its your money and you have every right to spend it wisely..

Srivatsa - 1) You try to be modern and traditional simultaneously which is weird sometimes.. 2) Your heart wants you to be traditional but your mind thinks otherwise.. I would suggest you to follow your heart..

Sundeep - 1) You irritate your friends sometimes by your behaviour and your dressing sense.. 2)You are very dominant..

Sunil - 1) You take longer than usual to mingle with others.. 2) You are shy sometimes..

Hope all of you agree with me and rectify those mistakes I mentioned( I will rectify mine soon.. No need to worry about that ).. If you have done so, I would be the happiest person in this world..

When life gets to Dire-straits??

"My life is in dire-straits" means that you are in very dangerous and a precarious situation.. What could one do to come out of it?? This is a very difficult question to answer depending on the context.. But there is way out of everything.. You just have to start searching for the way out..

The feeling what you will be under when you are in dire-straits is exactly similar to what you feel when you are out on an adventurous ride in an Amusement Park or Bungee Jumping and you know your life might be at stake.. But then, in the end you will come out of it being happy right.. Same is the case.. You just have to enjoy being in that feeling knowing you will come out victorious in the end..

Life has many different lessons to offer.. You will learn the most important ones only when you have landed in trouble.. All of these lessons will come at a cost though.. Sometimes, the cost might be less and sometimes more.. You just have to feel that you have paid exactly the cost of the lesson that you have learnt.. Trust me, its really worth it.. Probably, after reading the whole article you might think you have learnt an important lesson.. But, trust me it won't be of much significance unless you have experienced it..

One lesson I have learnt and I want to share with all of you guys - " Money never comes easily.. If you think it will come easily, either someone is trying to fool you or you are trying to fool someone.. Both of them being equally bad.." Only when you work respectfully, will you earn money.. This advice was given by my brother when I was whining over the fact that I have a lot of debts.. I vow a million thanks to him for giving me this advice which I won't forget for the rest of my life..

You have to be really courageous and tough in your decision making to come out of the pit you have fallen into.. As they say - " When the going gets tough, the tough get going ".. Sometimes, it might be better if you wish to go deeper into the pit and learn some more important lessons in life before you get out of it.. My brother wanted me to go deeper since he had experienced the same after paying close to 40k as credit-card late payment fines and had learnt a good lesson..

Once you have come out of the pit you had fallen into, you will have come out fresh and more stronger than ever after learning all the important lessons of life.. You are now a tough guy who can tackle all the problems you might face in future..

One more lesson - " When life throws lemons at you, don't make a lemonade of it.. Just ask for some salt and Tequila.."

Hope you all learn those important lessons that life has to offer by being in dire-straits atleast once.. This is not a curse.. Trust me it's going to be fun.. Cya in dire-straits then..

How I was influenced by my friends??

When you ask a friend "What movies are good to go see?" or "Where should we go to dinner?", you are doing a verbal social search. You’re trying to leverage that social connection to try and get a piece of information that would be better than what you would have come up with on your own..

This is a small example on how you can be influenced by your friends..

Well I had been smoking for over a year at the time, and I knew most of my friends were under the influence of much heavier drugs, and one of my friends really influenced me.. This is an example of your friend spoiling your life.. This shows how someone can be negatively influenced by their friends..

She made me feel as if someone actually cared about me.. She helped me get over my addictions to drinking and smoking.. She helped me keep God in my heart when times were tough.. I could go on.. She is the best.. I don't know where I would be without that girl.. This shows how someone can be postively influenced by their friends..

In the same manner, every friend of ours will have influenced us in some way or the other.. The influences can have a positive or a negative impact on your personal life.. I would like to go ahead and tell you how I was influenced by each of my friends.. Here I go,

Apoorva - I have learnt a lot from him.. His hard-working nature, his commitment, positive and never give-up attitude are the key take-aways that have influenced me in a great sense..

Bharath - This guy is the most influential person I have ever seen.. I am very impressed by his way of looking at life.. His suggestions and opinions about any topic on earth would make anyone impressed.. I still have lots to extract from him though.. Looking forward to learn more from you mate..

Chethan - You can go on teasing him for a life-time, even then this guy would stay quiet and also enjoy along with you.. So, I have learnt to be patient and stay quiet even when the odds are up against you and when things are'nt going your way and enjoy the situation..

Khaleel - I have learnt how to take things as they come and to be positive always.. Thanks to this guy.. To speak about negative influences, he has influenced me in liking guys more than gals..

Madhu - This guy has influenced me in behaving like a professional.. He was the person responsible for me to stop using slangs.. Talking about negative influences again, he made me like him a lot..

Navya - I have learnt to do things the right way.. Thanks to this Madam Perfectionist.. She has made me take less chances/risks in life.. Negatives again, she is one who has made me think a lot now before I take any decision..

Nidhi - She is one from whom I have learnt how to be trust-worthy and how to manage money.. I have learnt how to spend less and enjoy more.. Thanks to her, now that I have learnt how to save 5k every month starting this month..

Srinidhi - I have learnt the most lovely thing in my life - Blogging.. Thanks for that mate.. I am waiting for the right time to learn about being a great family man from him.. Its too early for that now though..

Thanks to all you guys for bearing a positve influence on me.. I hope I had a positive influence on each one of you..

Kishan Chandranna

Srinidhi's take on me

Kishan..............

Rather than writing on “when I saw Kishan for the first time, I thought .....” I ll take a side route to write about Kishan.

He is a person synonymous with his blog name. He lives life to the fullest. His attitude towards anything he does has attracted me so much that I try to do something like he does.
Kishan believes in himself than most of the folks in the gang.
He has that confidence and wit that everyone should appreciate. His care free attitude towards certain things and very responsible moves for other things is what makes him stand unique among others in the gang.

I do like to point out his self-respect as he wants to return the money he took from his father. No doubt, he ll do it, may be taking his own time.
He is caring and sharing too, as snatches food from everyone at lunch (!!!).
I see him confident as he knows what he should do, what he is doing, and how to do it. This clear picture in mind is deadly essential in these days.

His way of enjoying life is cool too. With all his Girl friends in his Thunder Bird, he truly the guy enjoying his life to the possible extent. Guys, Life is not one such, where you should come out of safe zones and try out all possible things in life. Be it good or a little bad, don’t care it my frenz.

I see a good business man in him. His planning and the balancing act of various things is an ART. His boldness in decision making is a trait of a business magnet. This is where I see his talent. He needs to nurture it.
I request him to do so.

Regards,
Srinidhi Kashyap

What would you be 5 years down the line??

After getting the same suggestion from both Madhu and Navya ( what a coincidence ), I decided to write about my perspective on what each of my friends would be after 5 years from now.. I will write whatever comes to my mind.. So, no hard feelings please.. Here I go,

In the year 2013, Imagine we all meet at a get-together party in Inchara again, a long time after meeting each other.. Here is my take on how everyone would come,

Bharath( Project Manager ) - He, along with his wife and their 2 year old son will come in a nice new car of theirs.. All of us fall to his feet after a long time.. His attire would be his usual party wear.. For those of you who would'nt know.. His party wear would be a collared-Tshirt tucked inside his chaddi wearing his nice formal black shoes with white socks.. While his wife would have come in a tradinational nice saree.. And his son who would follow his Dad's footsteps at every stage of his life would have been dressed exactly as his father.. A Junior Chaddi-Swamy in the making..

Chethan ( 100kgs by then )- He, along with his just married chubby wife will come on his splendour.. What a sight that would be?? ( Chubby and Hubby on a splendour ) All of us stare at this nice pair.. His wife would then grab the Menu-Card and start ordering almost immediately.. Just kidding eh.. He would then start off with a song -

Khaleel - He, along with his wife Maha and their son would come on his Karizma as usual with his hair spiked up.. And he starts off with his trademark question to all of us - "I am looking sexy na??" All of us start talking with his son who has his hair spiked up too.. I tell him that is very cute.. His reply would be - " Ya I have heard many girls telling that to me.. You love me na?? ".. I would be stunned.. Junior Rapist in the making..

Madhu - He, along with his female wife ( nice to see that he has changed ) and their son would come in their Ford Icon.. All of us start singing the " Bull bull " song.. He replies by saying " Ivagalu naane target ah?? " His son wearing the Indian cricket team's T-shirt would be practising his cricket strokes.. Already a cricket enthusiast like his father.. Junior Sachin in the making..

Navya - As soon as she comes, she walks straight up to Madhu and occupies the chair beside him and starts bugging him.. Then she comes up to me and asks me whether I have quit my 3 girl friends.. When I tell no, she starts blasting me.. She then starts introducing her boy-friend to all of us.. We all pity the state of that poor guy..

Nidhi - She would come in a black salwar with her trademark boy-cut.. She would have become a real aunty by then.. She chats with all of us for a while and then tries to take out something from her hand-bag.. She starts distributing her marriage invitation to all of us.. All of us are shocked to see its content which says,
Nidhi (Software Engineer)
v/s
Mr.X (Software Engineer)
We cordially invite you for our wedding.. Do join us to share our happiness, as we begin our new life together..
Venue of the Battlefield : Kalyani kalyana mandir..

What kind of person can be your Life-Partner??

After Srinidhi had insisted me on writing about this topic and after knowing that most of you did not have any issues with me writing about this, I am glad to start writing about those who had no issues.. Here I go,

Srinidhi - I somehow feel that your life partner should be someone who is truly opposite to your character.. By that, I mean it has to be someone who has explored the outside world other than just work and family.. Atleast then you will get a chance to explore the outside world and discover something great in you.. I know you have something better in you other than just work and family that can take you places.. Hope you discover that soon..

Madhu - Your partner must and should be a,

1)Cricket enthusiast.. ( I am qualified )
If not, I am pretty sure that he/she will suffer.. Now imagine this case.. What if there is a match between India and Pakistan on the day of your first night?? I seriously want this to happen.. I want to know what you would do then.. I am sure you will watch the match no matter what..

2)Female.. ha ha ha.. ( Here, I am ruled out )
Getting a bit serious now.. I feel that your partner should be someone who has a lot of patience in him/her for you might get very angry about little things in life..

Navya - I feel that your partner must be someone who has seen the outside world unlike you so that he could take you places.. Someone who understands your childish nature and likes it.. Someone who understands your problems.. Lastly, it has to be someone who buys you pani-puri daily..
Hey, how about getting married to the guy who owns a pani-puri shop?? Just kidding eh..

Rajatha - I feel that someone who is very serious,hard-working, sophisticated and determined in life would make an ideal partner for you.. Someone who is an big industrialist could suit you.. Someone who encourages your courage and lets you do things that any other women would'nt dare to..

Nidhi - It would great if you get someone who can understand all your talents as your partner.. He should'nt be too worried about you getting close to people as that is your nature.. Someone who treats you like his friend.. It would be even better if he treats you like a kid.. Someone who understands your feelings.. Lastly, someone who can withstand all your pranks...

Chethan - I know you like girls who are chubby like you.. So, that is one criterion.. Next is that she should be a good cook and someone who knows your appetite.. She has to be a good singer since you like listening to them putting your head on her lap.. Her laps have to be strong enough to hold you right..

Ravi - I feel that your partner has to be very decent and traditional.. Someone who loves listening to your songs.. Be it original or the remixed version of the song.. Someone who can make good home food..

Srivatsa - Your partner i feel should be a true iyengari who is very traditional and can make good puliyogare for you.. Someone who respects you and your family members.. I hope Aaaa falls in this category..

Kiran Kumar - Your partner i feel should be someone who is opposite to what you are.. Atleast then you will get a chance to explore the outside world..

Kumar - I feel only a modern gal or a model would be your ideal partner.. Someone who can beat you when it comes to beauty conciousness.. Try for Sania Mirza's sister dude..

Apoorva - Your ideal partner would be Koneru Humpy, the junior grand-master.. Someone who can beat you in a game of chess.. Someone who lets you do what you like doing and realizes the importance of every move you make in chess and in life..

Sundeep - Your partner should be someone who can withstand your PJ's.. Someone who encourages you when you try out different things.. Someone who lets you be who you are.. And last but not the least, surely someone who likes your weird taste when it comes to your dressing sense..

Sunil - I strongly feel that someone who is like Mrs.Steve Irwin could be your ideal partner.. Someone who encourages your adventurous nature.. Someone who will accompany you in all your adventurous deeds.. Someone who makes you pink..

I hope all of you really get the partner you dreamt of..

I am not mentioning how my partner should be as i am not qualified yet to get married.. Will definitely let you all know when I am..

What is the right time to get married??

Let me start by asking you all a question,
Do you want to get married at some point in your life??

Well, if your answer is NO, I suggest you to stop reading what follows..

Ok.. You said you want to get married right.. Then my next question for you would be..What do you feel is the right time for you to get married??

This might be very difficult for you to answer.. Same is the case with everyone else including me.. But then, I like answering tough questions no matter whether I am right or wrong.. So, I will give a shot at this as well..

Here is my take on the right time to get married.. I feel you should'nt get married until you reach that point in life where,

1) You feel you need a partner.. i.e someone to take care of you..
2) You are confident about yourself in handling all the responsibilities that will land on your shoulders once you get married..
3) You have quit all your bad habits..

If you have reached this point in life, then what are you waiting for?? I guess its time for you to get married..

If you have'nt reached this point in your life yet, ENJOY till you reach that point..

What follows is strictly for those who said NO to marriage and continued to read on.. Strictly for MEN who said NO only..

I have a question for you guys..
What made you feel not to get married??

Your answers might probably look like these,

1) I am happy being alone.. So I want to stay alone for the rest of my life..
2) I do not want to take that extra responsibility of getting married and looking after your wife and children..
3) I don't want to spoil my life by getting married.. I want to be happy always.. I can't stay with one women througout my life..

For those who agree that the first point is the sole reason for you to not get married, I would say that you have'nt reached that point in life where you feel you need someone to take care of yourself and you are not confident in handling the responsibilities that come with marriage..
I would suggest you guys to wait till you reach that point in life.. If you still feel you want be alone even after reaching that point, Go ahead..

For those who agree that the second point is the sole reason for you to not get married, I would say.. Common dude, Be a man.. Take life as it comes, accept all the responsibilities that come your way and deal with them as a man..

For those who agree that the third point is the sole reason for you to not get married, I would say.. Who said that getting married will spoil your life?? It will improve you as a human-being..
Who said that you can't be happy after getting married?? Stop assuming things.. There might be a few cases like that but it need not happen that way with you.. Be positive man..

Now if you are a girl but continued reading even though I suggested you not to.. This proves a point that women do not listen at all.. This is the reason I like women.. This attitude of theirs is going to change your life for the better and add spice to it..

Cheers and Keep Rocking...

Kishan Chandranna
