Happy Uga(di) wishes !!

I feel the timing of Telugu New year is Impeccable with Mother Natures Celebrations too. Look at the Tulips in our Office garden, can any one deny this fact.

Wish every one a Hakkuna Matata UGADI.

I like the inspiring New year wishes from one of my friend's Blog, I am quoting them here -Kiran writes in her Blog

"I trust myself... life is worth more than all the troubles we take. so lets not fail to live to its fullest, inspite of all the problems staring at us. Have faith in yourself more than anyone or anything. let that faith move the mountains of problems in the coming year and there on. "
-Kiran Quotes

Have a great Year.

My "TEN THOOOOOOUSAND" Miles

It makes me to feel astonishing that I have driven TEN THOUSAND miles on US Roads. Last weekend’s trip to Greenville, SC made me to accomplish this significant milestone in fulfilling my desire of entering all the 50 states of USA. In a short time of six months I have conquered 13 States of USA and the 10K milestone make me confident that I am very close to my destination. I feel the very best thing one can do in USA is to start their car, rock with some cool music and step on the accelerator to fly on the roads.

It’s always fun and exciting to drive on the US highways, every highway decorates itself and creates an aesthetic landscapes in synergy to the weather, the climate and the season. A foggy highway throws a challenge to your driving skills, a snowy highway makes your driving confidence slippery, a rainy highway tests how careful you are on the road, a busy blocked highway tests your patience towards fellow passengers and a open highway makes you fresh and tempts you to accelerate at peak. What ever be the condition and the place you are on the highway, you have to be alert and you cant dare to do you mistake, a small mistake on the highway will be a life times unimaginable cost.

“Its not USA that developed the Roads, it’s the Roads made USA a developed nation”, its evident if you look at the road system. Thanks for the GPS systems and the art of technology from the sites like Yahoo, Map quest, Google which gives every minute direction details,you can blindly trust your printed paper and you will never miss your direction or the destination. Last but not the least hats off to the driving sense and consideration of others to the fellow passengers.

I am taking a exit now, Exit No 10K..but i will be back again when i reach my 20K exit with much more exiting trips...wish that day will come very soon..

Happy B"day Srilu....

My father used to yell at me for playing with small kids. But I always like to play with them, I formed a group with a bunch of kinder garden kids in my colony park at tirupati and whenever I get a chance I used to run behind them, catching them or getting caught by them. I feel they are the best partners to play any game, because wining or loosing doesn’t matter to them or for you, and their hearty smiles are the big victories won. Put aside your age and run behind them, if you won a sweet smile from them that will release all your pains, your anxieties, your worries and you will forget this world for some time. I strongly suggest my father to play with them and he will definitely realize how sweet it is to play with them.

In my home I used to play “hide and seek” with my niece Srinithya, and when she finds me hiding somewhere, she gives a pure sparkling cute smile and that is the best smile I can ever get. She jumps and runs the whole room as if she conquered the whole world and at that moment I too feel that I conquered the whole world and that is the best of my time I could dream of.

Today is her B”Day and I am way far from her, I can’t play with her or can win her sparkling smiles. Missing her a lot, losing a lot.
Happy B”day Srilu…
