what does it take to do a Phd?

I always wonder how ppl do research and end up getting doctorates. Assuming tht every Phd student publishes papers worth talking, wht exactly in them drives to be a ever learning student. I feel is tht they possess that extra bit of curiosity abt the things the way they r working and more importantly the incessant perseverance to keep on trying till they get the results.
I really admire tht quality of a Phd student---to persevere. Wish i too had tht in excesss....

why do we snore??

I realized tht i snore after coming to US, when my room-mate complained abt it one morning. But sursprisingly we came to know frm each other's observation tht 4 of our 5 room-mates snore and of course each says in the morning :"Hey no i dont!!!"...thts a differnet story by the way.
But did u ever guess why we snore?? check this out.

chiranjeevi.

This name brings some kind of nice feeling in me as though he is very close to me.
He has a gr8 charisma. This even those who dont outrightly support him do agree inside.
His histrionics are breathtaking. He has done some gr8 roles. But the main reason he has been more close to the hearts of general populace is due to his extraordinary character. He is very humane. He tries to keep his head over his shoulders even though he has tremendous craze n fan-following.
N his life is free of any scandals which many top stars have suffered in the history.
Hats off to chiru ---megastar!!!

last minute workers.

Eversince i joined engg at SNIST, the concept of one day batting...i.e reading in the last minute to be just good enough to clear the exams or to perform just wht u think is enough has become a concept tht is becomming part n parcelof my living style. even thought there is tons of work tbe done....which i have now....we....sorry I tend to procrastinate till tht point where there is just enough time to complete....i suppose only then the adrenalin starts pumping off.
But guess how can the mind be so accurate of judging the things just enough to not put ourseves in trouble!!!hey ehy.

dervish mind.

Today is the same state my mind is in---dervish.
random thoughts. just wanting to type in an incessant manner.
back in India when this used to happen I used to go my frnd's house near my place and we used to go out....or talk for extended period of time on varying topics...it was real fun.
And the pani puri stall near his house was our all time fav.
We almost ate daily there.
n ofcourse for bday parties chaitanaya dhaba or bawarchi or paraside were our hot spots. Life waise bindaas hotha hai hyd mein.
par kya kare dollar dreams is too strong!!!

Saturation.

I remeber in my School days, someone talking abt saturation of mind. I thoght wht junk he is talking.
but i belive for everything there exists a threshold,
Wherein it needs a break frm anything which u have been doing for some years now.
The mind no more takes it.
And it craves desperately for a change in whtever way one may wish to conceive it.
But i truly believe in a life chequered with ups n downs.
A saturated mind does not mean it cant take anything, but cant take tht thing which it has been for past a few years.

PS: pic shows a full glass of water and overflowing!!!

parineeta!!!

Vidya balan is stunning. And the direction by vidhu vinod chopra is worth an applaud.
It was so different a movie tht it struck to me right away, and i ended up watching it some 4 times.
The sets are very appealing. Not to mention the songs are big hit.
It was truly refreshing movie than the hodge-podge.
saif ali was as-usual at his best.
sanjay's was a subdued performance i suppose.
but can anyone help me out in figuring wht is "parineeta"? and why tht title?

calories factor in US.

I have been experiencing up n down in my weight ever since I came to US.
Its like a sine wave:-) with the trough cut down.
I put on weight ...realise tht go to gym for a few days and have a conscious control over diet.
n suddenly someone says :"hey abhi kya be pathla ho gaya" n thts it tht would be the last day of gym n diet control and agin i put on weight:-)
by now many might be feeling yoo this is my story too.

PS:This is my pic when I am bloated in one of those phases:-)

trip to india.

hmmm!!!!

whts going on??
the days r going on and the life is going on.
how many of u feel every day ....wait wht is tht i want and wht am i doing??
i suppose almost all...may be it is xtremely relative...
we think ....think....n then say ok may be thts how it has to be...
but is thinking tht way means end of growth??
how much is in our control n wht is not?
who is destined to do wht, why n how?
Does really anyone has a destiny already set for each, or can tht be edited???????
Do we really have control over our destiny??
If so to wht extent?
hmmmmmmmm
dudes too many questions come in....
are there really any answers for these...
just thoughts being typed in without any inhibitions...

1 year in US

I came to US on July 25th midnight. My sis had called me to know if I had reached safely(she is very caring!!!). Ok n for me I was like in no-man's land not sure of wht was happening. N then frm tht day onwards till this day I have experienced many things, understood world to some extent and more importantly abt myself. When I contemplate over the things I feel life doesnt look as simple and straight as it appeared to me when I was starting from India. I have experienced some real tough times and few sweet moments too. But all in all I realized how great our parents are who take care of us, not allowing anyone to say anything abt us, and supporting us all through our lives. This is a first hand experience vis-a-vis the world.
A great experience to experience, else we will be in delusion abt life!!!
Life is both sweet n bitter!!!!

DSL ghar mein!!!

I got DSL at home day b4 yest. N god the life seems to have changed a lot. I no more visit school. b4 i used to run to school even to catch my ppl inIndia on messenger, but woh sare jhanjat katham. n actually my room-mate at some times was buzzing me on yahoo messenger frm the other corner of same room than talking. Thinkwht might happen in a few more years down the lane. Now act I got a hint of how the technology can take over our lives in a big way.

Par for time being DSL ki jai bolo!!!

ennui!!!

This is something we get and dont wanna do anything ...even eating and sleeping looks xtremely dull activities. May be that is the reminder that we desperately need a break. And we should do something different from routine or just go for a long walk alone or with someone close to U and try to refuel ourselves.

Evil Dead.

yaar, saw Evil Dead parts 1 & 2. Instead of fear I had an obnoxious feeling abt the bloody blood shed (dont know if blood can be in different colors in case of the dead). Hmm par laga tha how can ppl be scared abt such a stupid movie(not to offend the die hard fans of Evil Dead). usse tho acche hain movies like "Dhayyam", "ratri" et.al in the direction of our chotuuu ramu.
Kya bolthe ho bhai log???

Petty bickerings...

The other day two of my cousins had a quarrel on a damn petty issue(sorry can't mention the issue or the names). But haven't you encountered yourself in such situations where -in, U end up having an argument with the other person just to prove that you are not a dunce and want to have an upper hand over the other. And the result as usaully will be that the two parties shun each other and tension prevails when ever they come across each other. Then they regret their deeds internally but the damn EGO comes in middle and they hestitate to accept their faults before other person. So frnds just be cool and keep silent in those circumsatnces in future. Being silent doesn't mean that U r inferior in any way, but instead U will be thrilled to note how U could control ur emontions in tht moment.Just think over it....

Meditation

Meditation for me is something which takes us away from distractions and makes us feel that there is something more (and less materialistic) to achieve in this world...and that is to control our own mind. I was introduced to a form of meditation("vippassana") at a very young age by my father. And I feel that it was one of the wonderful gifts tht my father gave to me. It is all about watching the breath go in and out and be equanimous about it. This really keeps the mind at peace. Do try it anytime, U will notice tht bliss.

Meet Joe Black.

Today I saw this movie and the initial dialogues by Bill(Anthony Hopkins) to his daughter Susan(Claire Forlani) were xtremely striking. To fall in love so deeply that ur heart dances like a dervish, sings in rapture...hmmm yep to love n to be loved is truly sweet experience I suppose(suppose coz i dint yet experience tht two directional flow:-))...yo i dint see the climax yet...hope it will be gud for the two lovers in the movie

sex n money!!!

These two are the things which makes a man do almost anything in his lifetime. I was surprised to find one my close associate involved in a money game. Man does crazy things to obtain these. But don't U think that human life is too precious to waste it on these materialistic goals?? In contrary each day the man seems to get more and more involved in this dirty game of sex and money.

how to live life?

This was the question that my friend was cogitating on, the other day. She was saying ..."abhishek I donno whts happening in my life and wht I want to do in my life". Dudes to be frank this question haunts me too daily. But out of my experience I have learnt that thinking too much about life and planning abt the same is of no gud. Instead live the present moment the best way and try to give it the best shot ever. I wanted to just share this feeling with U all...take it easy!!!

Dennis ....not the menace!!!

The Dennis hurricane which was to hit the coast with ferocity din't do so. And I was a bit upset...yes to my surprise too, the first feeling when I heard that Dennis came down to just a tropical depression was ..."hmm ek holiday miss ho gaya baap". This is how many people too look at these things when they are not going to effect us directly. But then I thought, how selfish am I that for sake of a hol I am thinking so narrowly.

Deja vuuuuuuu

Guys did u ever feel like a situation tht u are encountering now, and u suddenly feel ...oops did this happen to me b4????I personally felt like tht many times, and a few days ago I saw a movie on the same and was fascinated n had a lengthy discussion with my room-mate on the same....the discusiion led to many more tricky questions and those to more. Did U ever think on such issues, do U believe in life after death, and rebirth concept??? If any of U guys have intersting(n may be bone chilling ones)instances do post them. I have one of them...n belive me it happened with one of my frnd's frnd......
A group in hyd(studying for EAMCET) used to meet b4 a pan shop daily and used to smoke and just chat. One day a new guy joined them saying tht he too belonged to the same institute to which they belong and said tht he wanted to be their frnd and frm tht day on he also used to be there in tht group. Then frm a day onwards he dint come. These guys thought why he wasnt coming n asked the panwala abt him. The panwala said "who sir, I never saw any new guy joining U ppl..." . They were stunned and went to the institute where they were studying....and to their horror he was a student there some 7 years ago and was dead in an accident 7 years ago. They were dumbstruckkkkkkkkkkk........
This a true incident which happened in a reputed institue giving coaching for EAMCET....so ???

sachin factor!!!

I saw few articles on sachin in mewspapers online, and i couldnt truly understand where sachin stands right now. The way a person is taken to gr8 heights and now being shown in different light is something not new to Indian media. But wht is the problem with sachin ....or is there any problem at all with him. He is a human and hence is prone to a few injuries right? And during that phase all players get out of touch and their performance does dip down....but he being sachin is making all the difference. We are so much accustomed to see him perform that now a bad phase(supposedly the longest of his career), and we have started to analyse too much on it and a few so called critics of the game have even put a fullstop to his career. Is that fair??
I feel he will certainly come back with a bang soon and shut the critics' critiques.
cheers sachin lovers!!!!

who am i?

thought of doing something different apart frm the monotonic life...i m frm india came to do MS ---(abhi thak pata nahi chala woh kyo kar raha hoon)...in CS at MSU...

woman

dudes...this thought has been so dominant in my life of late....woman....aka GF in this age. abhi itna fight marta hoon par pata nahi har subeh uss dream girl ki yaad aati hai ....ki koun hai woh ??
but u ever thought why this mind is so crazy abt the opposite sex??
is it just infatuation or is there something more than tht(also called love...pure love), which makes us so desperate to get that better half(uff sorry might not better half eventually down the lane)...
socho yaar...jho log love bolthe hai who kya wahi hai ya sirf the raw desire....though this topic could be taboo for a few..but brainstorm..is there anything in this life called love(or is it just an another form to get away frm lonliness??)...
