Happy First Birthday "My Inner Self" :-)

This week had my Blog's first Birthday on April 10'Th........

From my First Post to my Latest Post I think it was a long and wonderful journey of thoughts and feelings. Frankly speaking, I had a slightest idea that my blog will last so long when I started it, 'cause I did not have clue of what to put on it. But Hyderabad / Hyderabad Traffic , My Photography Expeditions , My Thoughts and everything just came in.

Though the posts on the blog recently was a bit irregular due to lack of time ;-) (I know thats bull shit ) but I am sure, it will pick up in couple of weeks.

Once a friend said........

Shyam: Hey Bheem, I think she is going to propose you
Bheem: What!!! don't kid me!!
Shyam: Yes, she loves you....and she is going to propose you at any moment
Bheem: Don't talk crazy! Me and her......?? "NO........WAY!!!!!!!"
Shyam: I just wanted to warn you 'cause I feel that you both are too different to be together
Bheem: Come on man, I told you right, get this into your brain.........Me and her...........?? "NO...WAY!!!!!!!". Its never going to happen.
Shyam:Ok..if you are so confident, there is nothing further for me to say, but take care!!
Bheem: Ohh! come on man...leave that topic and walk fast or else we will get late for the movie.

This talk happened between two friends some 8 years back when we were in our second year of Engineering.

Guess what happened to the above story......

Bheem fell for her, they lived happily for the rest 2 years of Engineering. Later, they broke up as the girl could not convince her father to accept their relationship and lived in despair for 1 year.

After that, they both lived happily ever after separately in their own ways..........

Moral of the Story: Listen to your friends when they have something to say. Sometimes they see the situations in the direction that you cannot even imagine.

Talking about friends, I would like to take a moment to thank all my friends who were with me, stood by me in every shit I was in!! Thank you guys!!!!!

Sharing a few thoughts for Would-be Bride / Grooms

For Would-Be Grooms:

Rule No.1: Never compare your mamma's cooking with your wife's! There is no faster way to dig your own grave than that! Please understand that your mom's cooking has the backing of 20 odd years of experience.. ..don't expect that from your wife whose hardly into the process! What if she were to compare your earning capacity with her dad's!!! So shshshhhhh.. ..!!!

Rule No.2: Never go out of your way to please the lady with flowers, chocolates and gifts during your engagement period. If ever you do , please follow it up post-wedding too! When you could cover 20kms in 15 minutes when you are engaged just to spend some time with her, how dare you forget her birthday post - marriage, even after you are given the broadest of hints by her!
Remember expectations always double...ever heard of them being halved ???

Rule No.3: Do compliment her every now and then, verbally or with gifts! What are those lovely Teddies and Archie's gift cards for? Don't sit there like the Lord Of The Rings expecting to be waited upon! Of course she will do it but everyone likes to be appreciated and pampered!!!!

Rule No.4: This is very important! Sulking or complaining about marriage being a big mistake is a strict NO -NO !! You got into it with your eyes wide open, brimming with enthusiasm !! No one ever pushed you into it! So why this drama now!

Rule No.5: Be Brave and take your own decisions and stand up by them !!
Consult your parents for advice but realize that you are grown up enough to lead your life! Respect your partner's views at all times! Remember she has given up a lot more to make a life with you!!

Sharing thoughts for Would-be Brides:

Rule No.1: Don't expect too much from him. Less the expectations lesser the disappointments.

Rule No.2: Don't ever dare to plan any outing or movie on a day when there is an interesting cricket match going on. REMEMBER SPORTS is more important to him than anything else. U spoil his day n He spoils yours.

Rule No.3: Over Emotions, Sentiments.. . Woha... What are these? Tears are not going to give any results either. It's just a temp. attention that u get. No one likes Cry Babies m Whining Wife's.

Rule No.4: Never dare to cross with his mother. Even if he says "My Mom's cooking is the best. U are nothing in front of her." take it easily with a smile. Tell him that u are learning from his mother and will try to do it better. U are not gonna lose anything!

Rule No.5: Try to know his friends and understand that they are also part of his world. Allow him to spend few weekends or occasional night out parties with his friends.But at the same time make sure that u get u r due importance! It must not be that he roams around with his friends forgetting that you exist at home.

Rule No.6: Don't start fighting for silly things. Forgetting birthdays n Anniversaries is not a big mistake. Men are not blessed with 2 GB RAM for storing everything in main memory.If you are very particular about present gifts n parties on u r birthdays n anniversaries. make sure u remind them well in advance by some means (I know it sounds stupid. But if u are so particular,Do it for u r own good)

Rule No.7: Take him for your shopping only if he's interested. If you are going for Window Shopping or for sari purchase, Better go with your friends/go alone. He is better at office/home watching cricket.

Rule No.8: Give him importance always. Show due care and affection. That 's the only way to win a guy's mind.

Clouds......!!!

Clouds always intrigue me and I can spend hours watching Clouds drifting and taking various shapes. Its feels strange to me that they can influence a persons moods in some scenarios, at least my moods, I can say.

For example, if I am sad and if its raining out side, I become more sad.(Sometimes I think, I am not sad because its raining. I am sad and that's the reason its raining..ha ha ha.. just kidding, lets get back to real world). If I am happy or I achieved something and I see a fresh and clear sky emerging from clouds, it makes me more joyous. Like these, there are some more such feelings which are unexplainable but one can feel them.

Putting apart all these, if I have my camera in hand, it can result in something like below:

Sun and Sand!!

After a tiresome weekend with couple of hundred kilometers of travel, I just feel like lazing around doing nothing, every muscle in my body wants to take rest. When I think of the coming up events / functions that I have to attend and places to visit in coming 6 to 8 weeks my body collapses like a bag of bones...but cant help! As they say man is a social animal......I have no more words.........

I was just going through my old picture collection and WoW, just the sight of the beach with sunset as back drop relaxes half of my muscles and for the rest of them to relax, I guess it cannot be done mentally.

I clicked the below picture at RK Beach, Vishakapatnam couple of months back.
