3 idiots

 Today is the last day of the three day long Christmas weekend. Yesterday I went to the new 'Bangalore Central' mall in Jayanagar, it is quite a mall, really nice. Today we had gone for the movie '3 idiots' @ INOX Garuda.

 The reviews were good in the papers and the verbal feedback from those who had seen it was also very good, we had high expectations from it and it certainly did not disappoint.

 Aamir Khan as always has delivered another masterpiece with a clear message as well as lots of fun for the audience. The movie is about how Aamir and his two friends do their Engineering in Imperial College of Engineering.

 Aamir plays a brilliant innovator in the movie, someone who just does not mugs up for exams, he is someone who challenges the book, looks for excellence and not success. He says aim for excellence and success will follow automatically.

 I liked the movie specially for this message, how Indian education currently focuses on marks and applies lot of pressure on students, rather than encouraging the students to think and understand the concepts. I myself being an engineer agree with the faulty education system.

  The movie showcases the prodigy of an engineering student, how he can invent things from unthinkable materials and who later ends up with 400 patents under his name, also becoming a world renowned scientist.

 This is something very close to my heart, this movie was something that made me realize that if you are hungry for knowledge than you can reach great heights, and inspires me to work harder and continue to gain knowledge. Also this reminds me of something that dad always tells me, "There is no age limit for learning",  you should have quest for knowledge and the curiosity to learn.

Only time will tell...

Merry Christmas 2009

 Today is 25th December. There is a festival season big time wherever you go, especially in malls. Lots of lighting and decoration, everyone is happy and enjoying the festival.

 It has been a very good Christmas for me. Our TL Ganesh came back from US and got lotta chocolates for us, Hersheys, snickers, twister, etc all were very tasty and yummy. We also had plum cake for two days in office. Basically, I have been on an eating spree!

 Today being a holiday I got up at 1330 :)  boy it feels so good when you get up late.  However, the day passes away very quickly. Today by the time I got ready , had lunch and all and started to read newspaper it was already 5pm. I didnt even feel like reading , wanted to get out and enjoy Christmas.

 Went to my good buddy stud paaji, we made a plan and got ready. We went first to Oasis mall, where we were doing the usual for half an hour. The usual means checking out all the cosy sofas and beds...

 After that Saba and her friend joined us and we went to Rendezvous. It is a very nice place to hang out, the ambiance is very nice. Today being Christmas, it was well decorated and was looking very good. The food there is also very good. I had french fried with mayonnaise cheese, pasta, pepsi and peas fry. We had very good time there.
Merry Christmas to all...

The party continues in Bangalore

 I went to office after that, one of our colleagues is getting enaged so she treated everyone with , pizza, I had Veg Cheese Burst pizza from Dominoz, man it was so yummy and filling, especially the cheese inside the crust tastes like heaven.

As I said the party continues in Bangalore...

Settled in Bangalore

It's more than a month now, I am pretty much settled and living happily in Bangalore. I am very happy I am in a project, I also had my first video conference yesterday with client. Project is going good and I hope I move up with time.

Sehwag just smashed 290 odd against srilanka, missed a triple by a small margin, if he would have got it, it would have been a record of highest no of triple centuries, surpassing the greats like Don Bradman.

My house here is really good, I had mentioned about all the luxuries and facilities I have. I would like to ad a few lines on my room mates today.

First meet bade paaji, Niraj , the head of the house, he is getting married next year. He is a very nice person and manages everything and keeps everyone happy. Then meet stud paaji aka Amit, he is a TL in infy, he is looking to switch companies, he is a very practical guy and hence I believe the reason why he has succeded so much in his carrier and the only way for him is up.

Meet my favorite kake, Jasjeet, a techie who enjoys life, he is very good person at heart. He is someone who anyone will cherish being in company with , both as a friend and as a professional. Meet CFA Amit, the latest entrant in the house, he has mixed up with everyone so easily and added to our happiness. I really like his application in giving a helping hand in the house and he calls everyone with lots of respect, also good to know he is from Mumbai.

Meet Rahul , my roommate, he is in Wipro. He is a very friendly person, I am really impressed by his communication skills and today he got a free shave and a free gilette mach 3 from garuda..:P. He is the kind of person any girl would be lucky to have in her life. We also had Pavneet paaji with us, who is in UK now, he also is a very nice person, he is a very friendly person and respects everyone.

Well someday I will look back at this post and remember, the wonderful parties we had in the terrace like we had today, the wonderful time we had playing all childhood games, me and jassi going to forum maintaning the assi counter, my first birthday in bangalore, and lot more to come...
