Our never ending school memories in GEMS

One day, I and Sanjana stopped in crossword in a big mall. Even though the crossword is a small area, it consist of a large collection. And it is the place when I spend on reading books while waiting for my friend. I am a great fan of Sherlock Holmes and went to detective section. The worlds most famous address flashed into my mind i.e. B221, Baker Street, London. I always remember my English teacher Mrs.Subhashini in school days who is the root cause for such an interest. In reality Dr. Watson may be the narrator throughout Sherlock Holmes volumes, but for our GEMS, our favorite English teacher, Subhashini is the first narrator. I still remember each and every pupil in the classroom hearing to her narration, maintaining pin drop silence, involved in following the story with everlasting enthu, eager and interest.
I still remember about myself sitting in government library reading the volumes of Sherlock Holmes after the school timings. Even though ours is a small town, it has a decent library with plenty of collections. Whenever I went to library for the book of "Complete short stories of Sherlock Holmes", it was always already with some reader. I used to wait until the other person complete and then get hold of it. That much is the interest induced by our narrator. And of-course, I am a voracious reader of short stories in my childhood. I haven't still come across such a narrator of ours who used to describe the Watson's surprised expressions for Holmes wise interpretations from available short details of the cases. Her narration is so realistic that we used to literally visualize the places where a murder or theft happened in the story. Our never ending memories are they with whom we spent in school every day.

1 MIN READING: how the path was forged(From Paulo Coelho's Blog)

One day, a calf needed to cross a virgin forest in order to return to its pasture. Being an irrational animal, it forged out a tortuous path full of bends, up and down hills.
The next day, a dog came by and used the same path to cross the forest. Next it was a sheep’s turn, the head of a flock which, upon finding the opening, led its companions through it.
Later, men began using the path: they bent down, deviating obstacles, complaining and cursing – and quite rightly so. But they did nothing to create a different route.
After so much use, in the end, the path became a trail along which poor animals toiled under heavy loads, being forced to go three hours to cover a distance which would normally take thirty minutes.
Many years passed and the trail became the main road of a village, and later the main avenue of a town. Everyone complained about the traffic, because the route it took was the worst possible one.
Meanwhile, the old and wise forest laughed, at seeing how men tend to blindly follow the way already open, without ever asking whether it really is the best choice.

20 SEC READING: How poor we are


One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad”.
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yes”, said the son.
“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered:
“I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
“We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a creek that has no end.
“We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
“Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
“We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”
The boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added:
“Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Does LOVE retain for lifelong? - A concept reused again and again and now in Teen Maar and once again as my writing

The in-built defect of Siri :) Cheerzzz..., myself, i.e. analyzing various happenings in and around her life when I lead the journey of life. I either scribble or draft the thoughts into my writings, whatever and whenever I get into mind and thereby filling many leaves of life(pages from the book of human life). I have both the filled leaves and empty leaves in my life. And this is one among the leaves I filled.

I was watching the small 70mm screen in a small, but famous theatre nearby to our home with my friend Sanjana. The seating is quite comfortable without congested spacing between the rows unlike as in Imax or any other popular theatres. There is a lot of space for the people to walk along to occupy the seats even though the already seated viewers stretch their legs long, which gives a feel of watching a movie on mega home theatre screen with QUBE sound system. As and when the scenes of the movie "Teen Maar" are going on, I remember the concept I have posted in my blog in the past immediately  after I have seen Orange movie. (http://ethicsofexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/12/does-love-retain-for-lifelong-concept.html)

The movie covers various concepts like "Does LOVE retain for lifelong?", "The importance of exchange of looks during a send off, inspite of being together until then", "The meaning of few words in girl's perspective",

Though the human brains became more practical, now a days, in maintaining relationships, I still believe that they have hearts to learn from the people who are successful in maintaining a life long relationship.

I can still remember my friend, Sanjana staring her eyes in the direction of her life partner when he is leaving India for long term. Her heart is throbbing and her eyes are probing for exchange of looks with her spouse inspite of their several quarrels and misunderstandings and asynchronous mentalities. Even though she did not receive the signals back from him, she continued until he is out of sight. I can sense her feelings. There is something so special in exchange of looks while giving send  off to any relationship and particularly life partner, which I have myself experienced but with response to  the signals I have passed to my fiancĂ©e whenever we departed everyday. A lot many feelings are exchanged in between us and which remain with me even after departed which make me feel promising and input positive energy in building the relationship more stronger. The petty things we do makes a lots of difference in life.

As everyone knew, girls mean a lot when they ask a question or respond to a question. Few responses will be negative verbally, but inside their mind they mean it to be positive and vice-versa. Only the guy who really love her partner can really read her mind inspite of the words she talk and do the needful. And the interaction/exchange of signals/actions done between the guy and girl in that process might be a jargon to the other people who think that they are foolish. But they do not know that their brains are not discussing with their hearts in arriving at such decisions. Now a days, most couples are successful in reading their partner's mind with ease and satisfying him/her equally.

Siri @ 19th Annual ITsAP Software Product Showcase and Awards

The 19th Annual ITsAP Software Product Showcase and Awards happened at HICC(Novotel), Hyderabad on March 1st and 2nd. It is an informative product expo of software products built in AP. All Companies building products have done a showcase as part of the expo. It is an information exhibition of various product innovations from Startups to Established Product Companies. It served as a dias where Professionals though out the state exhibited their mushrooming innovative ideas for variety of software and business solutions built across various platforms.


The Expo has been the ground for various academic incubation centers. Some of them are celebrating their significance while many of them are gathering information and advertising to gain significance.  Everyone turned up to promote their business and achieve some leads for themselves. The educational institutes are busily engaged in information gathering of various companies which may be interested for campus recruitment. Students from various institutes have educated themselves by interacting with representatives of various companies. They even identified themselves the companies that could offer interns for them. 


On the whole, ITsAP brought together Startups, Established Product Companies and the Investment Community from all parts of AP.



Showcases that inspired me:

1. MoveInSync - They have developed a software product that can monitor the number of persons travelling in a cab and also track the path of the cab on the map. The cab would be provided with a GPS device and an adroid mobile phone. When a official or passenger enters the cab, he should login into the system provided in adroid phone. The signals from GPS are used by adroid phone to transfer and display the exact location of the cab. So, once the user login, his/her name would be displayed in the system used by Transport manager or inspector or concerned official in the office. Once the user logs out, the monitoring official will know by checking the system. The login and logout times will provide you the data of how many users exist still in the cab, dropped down at their respective places, including the information of the places where they are dropped and how many people still remaining. A good GPS tracking system that monitors the security of the people travelling in the cabs. This system can be used anywhere like school buses, etc where the travelling mode and the persons travelling should be monitored from start up to end point. This application can also be extended to billing of the transportation. It can also be used to monitor the workers who may need to travel some distance for field work to attend complaints or workshops.



2. Prodigy - CMS - an eIndia gov award winning software solution of Complaint management System developed for South Central Railway divisions. They develop all sort of Web Applications, Desktop and mobile applications. Besides IT field, they also started a new venture of JustFix which is an home improvement idea. This is the first time I have seen such a combination of such ventures with different business profiles. 




3. myZingo venture - buythe price.com - a shopping portal which sell the products for discounted prices. It also offers promo code that offers a reduction.


Potential Skills developed by me from the exposure:


I have self-noticed a bit improvement of presentation skills, techniques to start-up a conversation, being interactive with Delegates representing various companies designated at all levels right from Sales & Marketing to HR to Managers and CEOs, learnt some means or techniques to promote a product and Information gathering.
