..life is beautiful; the most difficult task is to display its inherent symmetrical unsullied beauty, to capture it into a camera and project it not only onto the wide screen but also onto the narrow canvas of the mind; only some ppl are bestowed with that skill;

And it is much more difficult to do the above said if life gets more beautiful...like the indian teen love (I perfectly do not intend to convey infatuation) mixed with emotions and spiced with the variety of cultures and served hot with romance!!!!



maniratnam....one of those few who can handle this case so well in tandem with a subtle aroma of society consciousness mellifluous like the under current ....

just watch this song from sakhi (alai payuthe)

look at the way he shows the bus halt; and that orange cloth flying; adding that lovely rain...oops just ineffable......


god give me a chance i can do better!!!!!!!!!
you gave me the confidence in myself, you bestowed on me faith in you....all i am awaiting is for an opportunity

crisna...creative

By Ramakrishna Podila

shyamlan

when ever i watch this dil se song I feel so gr8....it is lie idli sambar...the best combo arr and mani
infact there is also vada and chutney: I mean srk and manisha!!!!

Crisna...century

Category: By Ramakrishna Podila
you guyz have no idea of what had happened here.

When I got my I20: the document that showed me a false reflection of a sharp stone studded path as a shining silvery smooth snow way. Clemson university said that they would pay me 16K for teaching the labs and i jumped in joy!!! I planned every single thing keeping that in mind and now they tell me that it was only a projected sum...damn it!!! i cant say even a word..now they cut me down by 3k and offer only 13K...and I need to work like shit 20 hrs a week and then i am supposed to grade 1700 papers twice and proctor 4 exams and also conduct good research!!!!!

hmmm...sounds so sad!!! but that is human life..ppl showed me money and I went jumping: now i can not do anything but work like a dog; life goes that way; they say every one out there is working like me...but ppl i do not know how much i deserve: but i can always work better and get a better salary!!!

it is better to do research back in the home land...you get 14K per month and even if u spend lavishly u can save 8K happily....sometimes I feel that I had chosen the wrong path...

but thats okie!!! now that I am in middle i should not be thinking of my batting order..irresepective of middle order or tail ender I shall play for the team....

My team is very small: mom dad, bros, poo and D.Inc; I wanna keep my team happy!!! i wud not go away from the pitch...I am ready to face bouncers, beamers or even yorkers...

Yet again crisna is in another field..about to start off for the first run....it will then just be 99 more runs for a century!!!!

sweating, salary studies and SAMBAR

Category: By Ramakrishna Podila
so thats the life like

Sweating---> working out my life as a TA here at clemson..i had to do some experiments today force mass acceleration....

here such a small exp is done in such a sophisticated way..though the computer prog does evry thing ..the student does not get to learn....howevr my job is to Teach and not to comment!!! so i sweat it out daily....but WHY??

of coz, for SALARY...thats the result...i get my pay check once in two weeks baby!!! and that is the only reason i was made to sweat here in US


why the hell do I need a salary??

for Sambar (my food) and studies....


hmmm...so next week my true learning and teaching experience is going to start...it all sounds very difficult I am not scared or i am not down...

with a smile on my face i am going into the battle field..I will fight..i may lose or i may win..that is not the matter but i will be remembered for my fight...


The ultimate spirit of sportsman ship is not to have conquer but to have fought and fought well. You will be remembered not for your victory but for your valour and fight!!!

US work sucks me out!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Ramakrishna Podila
OOOps!!!
what is supposed to be a TA? god alone knows whther i will be alive after a semester....

for that small lil amount the university pays me I have to work like a DOG...and on top of this I need to study and maintain my GPA and also follow the university policies and rules while I teach the courses!!!!!!

I do not know whether I can do this!!! I am not sure, but there is always that light at the other end of the tunnel that assures me not to worry!!!!

as many students suppose, studying in a US university is not as rosy as it seems to be!!!
One has to strike a balance and be in perfect equilibrium!!!! do what we call back india 'Tapasya'
here the education system is so well developed, well formulated and well followed!!!

The only reason for slow developing rate in India is the education system..ppl Say india is developing...there is nothing else but IT..being an IITian, I can tell you 70% of iitians work in a field that they had never studied!!!

mechanical, chemical, paper n pulp, EE,EC, any thing there is only one job... 'software engineer'
and nothing else...my fren who did an MTech in Sys Engg and Operation Research works as a junior programmer..God knows how one can leave what was his passion just for money!!!
and more over even if you are too good in ur field there are not enough companies in india that can give u a job wid a decent pay in ur major field of study like physics, chemistry

i think the american system must be emulated back there...ooops!!! what do i have in a week

20hrs of Teaching
12hrs of classes
prep for teaching
reading for the research
grading
managing labs and also
studying for my own grades!!!!!

and back in india what have I had in my masters

wake up,
go to girls hostel,
pick pooja up,
be thr wid her (she studies and I jus cant do dat)
and return in the nite,
play age of empires,
Play IGI,
surf orkut, gmail,
download n watch a movie,
meet n discuss DULA wid D.Inc
sleep late in nite


oooo!!! i got a masters in physics, ppl kick my ass!!! i wont even know with what amt of force u had done that!!!!

Crisna..Nano

Category: By Ramakrishna Podila
ooops!!! how wud it feel if a poor man in an archipelago miraculosuly finds himself in a five star hotel of washington dc?? thats what happend to me today..the lab i used to work in...the lab i used to feel proud abt was not even a tenth part of the lab at clemson!!!!

the lab is so sophisticated and is superb...i donno why god put me here..it was very interesting and i am gonna work here!!! i am xcited all abt that...uptil now i was just interested in physics...nut from today i am starting all over again from scratch!!! getting the things go in rite way....

i am loving it!!!! and the lab here and also the department is very good...

hmmm..there is a whole chain of apartments near by..it is named Village green..full of desi pultan...no good gals btw!!!

Happy B'day myself

By Ramakrishna Podila
so this was the first b'day of mine....

independent, away from the country!!!!!

those were the only two new points I could gather... and there was nothing else special....

hmmm...last year i jumped the relativistic quatum class and packed off to mansa devi (on foot) wid my best mate!!!!

that was real fun, I bought a aeroplane (toy one ofcoz) and then we played wid monkeys while !!!!!

then the year before..it was my first ever day at IIT !!!
i loved that day...it was gr8...though none knew it to be my b'day!!!

ib'days keep reminding me of time....

they come stay for 24 hrs and go away..leaving u behind a lil older than u were

Clemson...atlast

Category: By Ramakrishna Podila
So ppl...crisna in clemson atlast .....

i just watched a wonderful movie...it was great...i liked it...i would not really tell u guyz the title for there are more chances of you misunderstanding....

Hmm 813, #7, college avenue, clemson!!!!

so the roomies are great...God always took care of me and he even did that his time...

he gave me two gr8 roomies..kewl ppl..sreeram and rahul

they both are as new and as fresh as their names

and today God forgive me for what I had spoken of thee...
I just read this prayer in my uncle's home

it goes thus:

God grant me the serenity
to accept things I can not change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to discrimintate both!!!

such a wonderful one...it touched my heart!!!!

God please do that for me!!!
I am here and I am what I am because of you!!!

clemson is a good place...lake hartwel is near by...great ambience and great atmosphere!!!

i realised today that i have to learn the following

1) to have the courage to speak what I actually feel (i need to be more confident)
2) to be honest
3) to try not to impress ppl
4) to be myself

and for this b'day of mine i decided to do the following

1) to put down my weight, cut down atleast 8-10kgs for pv's wedding
2) to be sincere atleast in phd
3) and to practise the above said


okie i think too much of phil 4 tonite...

Life....IIT Rookee (Seven Point Someone)

Category: By Ramakrishna Podila


(AT MUSSORIE) (In Room wid Kalyan) YUVA
( Suneel, Ananth and myself)

I looked out of my window and it started raining....every drop reminded me of IIT Roorkee for many reasons.....

The Very day I stepped in I found friends...my roomie Kalyan...I will tell u is the kewlest person u wud ever come across in this world...I just knew two ppl like this another was my bros..

then after a month a great revolution at IIT....DP Club was started; All telugu (gulti) janta got together and this DP club was established. DP stood for DULA PURUSHULU!!!!!

Dula means the itch!!! we do what ppl generally are not supposed to do...we study only after the exams and play cricket just 2 hrs before the exam...God's grace all of us made it to the pass mark..none of us cared for studies but other ppl. used to call us 'Intellectuals'

Just an Hour before the exam we went 2 kms riding the bicycle to a tea shop on the Delhi Highway to show and demonstrate dula!!! and went 10 minutes late for the exam...(mind you, exam is for 45 minutes)

Just before JEST exam we palyed cards til 3:00 in the morning and went 20 mins late for the exam and can u imagine Ananth (DP club secy) got 91% and I got 90%.....

then later we all upgraded DP club to the prestigious D-COMPANY...

we all went wid 5 basket balls and sat there on the chouraasta circle near DOMS, the centre point of IIT just like dat and had a cup of coffee thr... yet another time we showed ppl the D in us..

all of a sudden, one nite Suneel (D-Compnay captain) came up wid an idea of going to mussori thats it!!! next morning we packed off....

Ananth and myself had an attendace of 26% in PEA class (Physics of Earth Atmosphere)....
Ananth never even knew that he chose a paper in Nuclear Physics division!!!!!!

ooops!!! life was so cool....

We used to get up at 7:30 and rush to 'Relativistic Quanutum Mech' class by 8:00..brush in the class and then rush back to hostel for breakfast then bunk a class and surf orkut...

Play 'Age of Empires' or IGI 2.0 or Max payne on chandu's system or pandus system....after I took lappie I used to network and play counterstrike in the class room...

Babai typed his dessertation in just one day...then his prof made out that the whole thing was plagiarised and then we all sat together suneel, ananth, chandu, pandu and myself and typed a brand new report in Latex...oooops!!! he got it signed by the prof just 10mins before submission...

Life was so lovely back there....

I miss it a lot now....

now the D-company is changing to 'D.Inc'
