This was looooong due...,

Rachu on the day of her wedding :)

The wedding..

Yeps Neha's got married and it was an awesome affair..., had loads and loads of fun...,  So here are they.., the bride and the groom.., Neha and Trishul Reddy

Think about it...

Never let the opinions of others define for you who you are.., or what you can or cannot do.., For though other people may know you well.., they can never know you completely. No one can know you completely...You know who you are and what is in your heart, and what you are willing to do. No mere opinion from someone else has the power to hold you back. Pay attention to what others say if you think it could be of any use. seek to understand and make yourself understood as well as you possibly can. Yet always keep in mind that the person who knows the most about you is YOU..., haaa.., You know what you can do, and you also know why you are doing it, even if no one else understands. The hurtful, limiting comments say more about the people who make those comments than what they say about you... Whatever they say.., who know who you are.. Move on confidently forward with the best that you can be ...,

Prayers for Team Hyderabad!!

Alright alright I know we lost the match against the daredevils.., yeah the one which we almost won..., and actually wrapped it up and gifted them..., Sheeee bahhhh we were so near and yet soooo far..., Now we mad our spot in the Semis sooooo unpredictable.., God yeah.., I mean this time its going to be one heck of a competition for the semis spot.., Except for Delhi.., no other team has a confirmed berth.., Awwww so much for the cracker of a start which we had... :( And here I am praying, keeping my fingers crossed..., wearing the team Track..., just hope it gets through!!!!

Yeah!!

Its past mid noon.., and I'm in the office literally getting fried... Phew I hate the summers these days... :(..., I remember loving the summers once upon a time.., The vacations, the mangoes, the cricket, the clay modelling..., I sooo miss them.., I go beserk even at the thought of going outdoors mid afternoon.., Even the thought is alarming..:( Whatever happened to the lovely spring days when Yes.., it was sunny and hot.., but it wasn't this MIND-BLOWINGLY hot!!! I gt scared to step out in the sun.., Imagine all the kids with their vacations..,God knows how they are coping with the heat.... Poor things... I kinda loved my childhood vacations..., I used to look forward to them months in advance.., The mangoes, the vacations, the co=curricular activities, the summer trips, friends, cousins, aam-pannas, mango achars, Wow!!!! I do miss those days...I am really scared.., things weren't this worse about a decade ago.., I shudder to imagine what would the world be in another decade..., GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!! Guys lets do something about this..., Its eating into the World..., Slowly.., But surely!!!!!!!!! :(

If you think you are beaten...

The poem is originally written by Walter D. Wintle.., But I came across this when I was doing a book review of Shiv Khera named "You Can Win" must say.., It is a very inspirational book and i would recommend it to all wannabe management students...,

So here goes..,

If you think you are beaten.., you are....

If you think you dare not.., you don't....

If you like to win, but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you wont....

If you think you'll lose, you're lost:

For out in the World we find,

Success begins with a fellow's will;

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

you can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the strongr and faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.

Life just got more Colorful :)

I can feel the pain in his eyes when we fight.., i can feel the happiness in his eyes when hez happy with me.., I can go on and on...

so that was Raj for you... :)

Yeah!!

!!!!

Hmm yeah this one is not going to be poetic... I simply am drifting from my thougths much too often.., And anyways I wouldn't want a tear- jearker.. So.., let me just jot down a few sentences.., before I drift off...

I've always wondered why do people fall in love??? And if they do, why don't they have courage to put it in front of the person whom they love??? And if they do, why are they scared to admit it to the world??? And if they do, why do they fail to convince the parents????

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

God!!! I have been thinking about this for donno how many days... And it all started with a friend sharing a few personal experiences... The pain in his eyes and his words left me sooo sad... He would never forget his first love..., NO ONE WOULD EVER FORGET THEIR FIRST LOVE!!! But he never got the girl..., after years of wooing the girl and her parents ( who agreed happily to the match)..., when time came convince his parents.., he fell FLAT!!! Today hez married elsewhere, the girl is married elsewhere. But again as i say..., He would never forget her. When he told me how she had helped him out with his career and trusted him and stood by him when he was a Nothing... I immediately wanted to reach out to her and thank her for shaping my friends career and his future.., for making him the person he is today...

But what went wrong??? and where??? He tells me that his parents threatened to kill themselves if he didnt give up on the girl... coz, hez their only son and they had big dreams about his wedding...( i shuddered to think that this situation was sooo identical to the situation i was when i was about to get married...., But..., We both were sooo adamant about our decision..., that our parents HAD TO GIVE IN..... )Yeah hez the only child.., yeah they have big plans for his wedding... So???? They must be happy that their son chose someone whom he loves.., who loves him..., who understands him.., and they can get them married exactly as they had "planned"...., Why don't the parents understand???

Some jerks of gyaani gurus with all their gyaan about culture and family history and social circles poison the minds and how..., " How can you go against your parents wishes and marry someone from some other CASTE?? Those parents, who gave birth to you, brought you up with all the hardships??? If not this girl, a million others... But, you cant say the same about parents right??? its your call.. " This is what they actually said to him..., sad part.., he relented..., but today he regrets....

I ask..., What is wrong if someone is in love??? is falling in love such a big crime??? Why don't parents understand?? Why cant they let their children live their lives on their own???? Ok so they they did give birth to them.., they did do everything possible for them.., they gave them everything they wanted..., Then why not THIS???? They should infact feel happy that a girl.., born somewhere.., who is not even distintly related to them, who has nothing to do with the family.., has the same feelings for their son (if not more) that they have..., She loves him, understands hi, cares for him and his feelings, is ready to leave her house, family for him.... God they should be happy..., but why does this happen the other way round..., I'm sort of depressed from a couple of days when I think about it.., I feel extreamly sad for my friend...,would he ever be able to forget that girl?? Would he ever be able to get out of the guilt that it was because of him that things didn't materialise??? I pray to God that he releases him from his guilt... but i cant ask God to make him forget her..., I know.., that would never be possible....

I tried to empathise and I shuddered..., Life wouldn't be....., WITHOUT RAJ...,

:)

A hand to hold through old age.

A person to laugh with even though the joke wasn't that funny.

A smile shared during everyday life because you are there with me.

The beauty 're our love show everytime you walk in the room.

A warm feeling in my heart because you show me that you care.

You make me feel so calm.....a calm moment from the storm of life.

What a worderful an lovely feeling to Love an be loved.

You're my reason to get up each morning and dream each night...

These are but some of the feeling i have for you

I am sooooooooooo Happy to have you in my Life

I Love You

I Love You for so many reasons.., Large., and small..,
and Alllll of them are as wonderful as you are... :)

I Love you for all the special qualities that make you one of a kind...,
The ONLY one in the whole wide world for me... :)

I Love you for all the things you say,
That bring such a special meaning into my life...., :)

I Love you for all the silent times...,
When your eyes tell me all that I want to know...., :) (and there have been numerous occasions)

But...., most of all I LOVE YOU SWAMY.........., Because....,
You bring out the best in me!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Love You......, Because now...,
In a place where there was nothing before....,
In the deepest part of my heart................,
THERE IS LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've brought meaning into my life Swamy....
Love Ya...,

If you love something..........

If you find yourself in love with someone
who does not love you, be gentle with yourself.
There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose
to rest in the other person's heart.

If you find someone else in love with you and
you don't love him/her, feel honored that love came and
called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return, do
not take advantage, do not cause pain.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you,
and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even
if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in
love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try
to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go.

There is a reason and there is a meaning. 

You will know in time .

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you.
Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit.
Give it to the world around you in anyway you can.

There are sooo many places where many lovers go wrong.

Having been so long without love, they understand
love only as a need. 

They see their hearts as empty places
that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something
that flows to them rather than from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing,
but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need.

They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone
who seeks love.

They forget that the secret of love is
that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has
its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for
coming and going. 

You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason
it into saying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it
away when it comes to you. 

But if it chooses to leave from your
heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do
and there is nothing you should do.

Love has always been and will always be a mystery.

Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

Love has been THE MOST important aspect of my life. I can say that it has not exactly been a
jolly good ride all along.., I've had my share of ups and downs... but all the while I just let it go..
because I knew.., that true love always gets back... NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

So.., if you love something..., set it free..., If its back.., its UR's..., if
it doesn't ...., it NEVER WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cricket and IPL.., sorry NR-IPL

Cricket tho runs in my blood... I've grown up watching Chinnaanna play all his matches be it for Hyderabad or even the gulli matches.., the leagues and the Ranji's... People remember me shouting Azhar's name at a promotional event at Koti Womens when I was hardly 3... The moment of glory when Kapil gave his autograph.......I remember all the Indo-Pak matches and all the gum which I almost swallowed throughout those matches..., I remember praying for the Indian team before the matches ..., I remember being in love with Ajay Jadeja..., and the day I almost fainted when I saw him for the first time... :)., I remember crying sooo many times when Sachin got out cheaply...I remember the fantastic Quarterfinal World Cup match at Bangalore when Ajay smashed Waquar Younis pride..., The matches at Sharjah where Sachin proved that He is the God of Cricket... Dada's shirt-take-off at the Lords... The T-20 world cup...and sooo many more wonderful matches.., Team India.., is what runs in my blood now..., I've faced sooo much flak from soo many people for being such a religious follower of Cricket.., But i don't care..., I've always loved it.., and will do so NO MATTER WHAT... come a match-fixing scandal, or a World Cup 2007.. my loyalty towards the Indian team will never change... And now coming to the point.., I would miss the IPL :( and how!!!! Yeah I would watch each and every match on the television but it wouldn't be the same na??? The crowds, the fun, the excitement..., the rooting, the hoo haa hoo haa's and the boooooos!!!! The executive lunches and Rudra, Gilly and Gibbs!!!!! Man this NR-IPL would surely be different... Now Capetown would be Cheering the Chargers, Pretoria would be Praying for Punjab Kings XI and Durban would be Drumming for The Delhi Daredevils.... How I wish I would be a part of all the fun unlimited..., but none-the-less..., I root for the Deccan Chargers...., GO CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew! Finally in writing...

Sometimes we argue, I don't know why.
Then I sit and wonder, why do I cry?

I cry because I love you,
I cry because I care,
I cry because I feel we have a love so rare,
sometimes I'm afraid I'll turn around
and you won't be there.

I love you every minute,
I love you every day,
I even love you when we argue,
I love you when we play.

Sometimes I've wondered do you love me too,
then I look in your eyes and
I know it's true.
So when I say something a little crazy
or I do something you don't feel is right,
Please, let's try to work it out
so we won't fight.

Some people take relationships for granted
it's sad to hear but true,
I don't want this to happen, not with you.

I want our relationship to be completely
from the heart so we both know,
no matter what we go
through we will never part.

For Raj,

Pranita.

True Love...

True love comes straight from the heart not the mind. It starts with a simple meeting of two people, from the first conversation comes the mutual respect. Soon, without realizing it, there’s a feeling of likeness in the air. From likeness, it gradually grows to love. But true love does not end here. 

From love, there’s commitment. The feeling stops you from starting any other possible cases of likeness with other people. The same feeling which gets you back to the same person whom you have been sharing your life with. 

Many people never went to the stage of commitment, only to blame themselves later for never experiencing true love. If loving is easy, living your hectic life would be easier. 

Stories of love are being shared among us everyday, yet there aren’t many of which we can remember. A love story comes from your own experience, not something that you’ve heard or seen. If there is one love story that you can ever remember in your life, it would be something that you had gone through.. 

True love is a gift. Though finding it may be hard, keeping it....., harder. We struggle through all our life in search of it, yet when we find it, it just disappears.Just like sand sipping your hands, never to return again. 

True love means happiness for your partner even if it means sufferings for you. As much as we would want to deny it, we do sacrifice for love. A simple give in during a heated argument can prevent harsh words being used and breaking of hearts. So next time when you think your partner is unreasonable, think again. You could make her/him less annoyed by giving in just this once. You may give in many, many times in your relationship but at least you know its worth the effort when the storm is over. 

True love will be tested one day, only then the declaration for one another is truthful. Temptations will always be there, there will always be someone nicer, younger or more beautiful than your current one. Only will that day tell your truthfulness towards your heart and your soul. 

The pureness of True Love is one thing that keeps people going, throughout their life. The simplest things that you do for him will get you happiness in return. 

As far as I can see, we all yearn for that simple undying love that rumors to exist. Its out there somewhere, clouded by the deceiving facts of life and overshadowed by the logical mindset of humans. 

True Love exists deep down our hearts…

Pranita

30th Sept.

:)

What can you do for the person you love???? Give back love, care, keep him happy, give him a reason to be happy with you, fight the world for him, pray for him, so on and so forth..., But can u kill for him?? Or rather, die for him??? I'm not talking about the movie melodrama which is highly impossible in practical life.. I've thought over it again and again and I say.., Yes.., I can die for him..., and if he asks me., I'd consider myself the luckiest person in this world... I..., infact am.......

The Vadi Biyyam...

Miss u hon....

GET BACK SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know wht i'd do without u hon... I feel miserable without u... I don't seem to eat or drink or concentrate on anything.. Oh its hopeless.... so get back soon... or tag me along... :(

25!!!!!!

Well I celebrated my 25th birthday a couple of days ago...i don't think i should actually use the word celebrate out here coz there were no "Celebrations" as such...I might as well say.., I turned 25 this year...and the day turned out to be nothing as I wanted it to be...(not that I had anticipated anything)..., but as it turned out I had lost a dear friend today...:((...We all miss U Abhinav...We do...

My day started out on a bitter note and with the old memories haunting me throughout the day.., I hardly had any mood to interact with others... I slogged out the entire day.., desperately trying hard not to cry... Abhi had spoken to me just a couple of days ago...,:((

But well.., my family has never let things affect anything drastically...They still tried cheering me up as well as they could.... ThanQ guys..., Thanx Raj for always being there, (even when you actually aren't nearby)...

And the day ended quietly....., as quietly as it began....

Pranita.

Well well....

I turn 25 in a couple of days..25!!!!Can hardly believe it....I'm not celebrating my bday this year..for obvious reasons...But u cant say...With the sort of cousins and friends i have...,i have carried forward my thought of a no-celebration to almost everybody i know...But i did notice some mischievous chuckles on a few faces...Whatever did they mean!!!!ill keep u updated nevertheless..

I hope ill not keep my blog inactive for so many days...like i did for the past few months...But this summer has been really pathetic for me...Hyderabad was never this hot....Nor was bangalore...Guess the effect of global warming!!!Whoever said that it will effect our predecessors spoke too early...Its effecting us man!!!!!I have to deal with all health issues (Yeah yeah the same old list)...and thanks to the blazing sun...,a few more.Apart from the IPL and the yummy yummy mangoes..., i didnt find summer as exciting as used to find it a few years ago...

Im done with "The Kite Runner"....,woaaa did i find it good??Awesome must say.., a good read.i love Khaled's "A Thousand Splendid Suns"....and on an impulse i went and bought this book...I admire his narration..its really good...And to add..,My library is costing me a fortune......
I've downloaded hundreds and thousands of songs....english, telugu, kannada, hindi, spanish...all of them....ive found some rare ones thanks to the software lent by pari.....mmmm yeah .., im still trying to make things brighter...and desperately waiting for the monsoons.....

Pranita.

Raj(asthan) Royals!!!!!!!!!!!!

So finally as the world predicted, the men in blue, the Rajasthan Royals' did lift the first DLF IPL trophy...Well they sure did deserve to..But i had a secret hope of a Chennai win.Come on now, M.S.D does rock. But i the best part of the final according to me was the way the Super Kings conducted themselves after their loss. Kudos to Dhoni and am i glad that we have such a calm, composed and an outstanding captain....No wonder hez risen so high in such a short span of time...and he'll stay mind u. Rajasthan had had to win the trophy after their marvelous run throughout the tournament....and Shane Warne!!! Wow..Where was he all these days???Im terribly bored from the last two days as the matches have come to an end...But on the whole the DLF IPL was a sure big hit....Everything about it was huge and it didnt fail to live upto what it had promised.Its dug out an unbelievable amount of talent and its brought out the spirit of the game in true form....Now who did expect that Ricky Ponting and Saurav Ganguly would be deciding the tactics as to how to get M.S.D out??Or Rahul Dravid agreeing with Jacques Kallis about the field placement....Man.....did i enjoy it or did i enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking about it, the entire tournament required a lot of planning...,and the dedication of the officials and staff is worth mentioning. I've personally seen the amount of pressure these go through during every match...Well i havent seen a better form of cricket in my entire life....And though the Raj Royals' have the trophy this time....i already have started rooting for Hyderabad to win the next one...

Pranita.

IT's All IPL Out Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And R.P

To Say that the Indian Premier League is a Hit.., would be an understatement...You should have actually been at the stadium watching the matches.., to actually understand the immense euphoria that it has created...To bad the Chargers ended up at the bottom of the points table...,but this has been a tournament that Hyderabad (read INDIA), would'nt forget for a long long time to come...I really dont know what am i gonna do from tomorrow...after tonight's grand finale...

But i must add...Hyderabad loves you and THE DECCAN CHARGERS' Gilly, so please do promise us that you would'nt disappoint us the next season...I was in awe of our team..,It must be noted that there was never really a bad performance from our team.., It was just that nothing really worked out for them...WE had the best team one could imagine...,Adam Gilchrist, Hershelle Gibbs, Shahid Afridi, Rohit Sharma, Chaminda Vaas, Scott Styris, Venugopal rao, and so many more.., not to forget my current favorite...RUDRA!!!!!!!Must add...hez been awesome and he really is sweet...,I've had the chance to interact with him at all the matches and should say.., HEZ MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE[:)]...

Movng ahead.., whoever wins the DLF IPL trophy..., The Raj (RAJASTHAN) Royals' or the Chennai Super Kings..., both the teams deserve being there in the final...cause ultimately its the team's grit and determination that leads them there....

The tournament has marked a new and fresh look of cricket which fans and spectators have immensely loved...Be it the exhorbitant number of sixes and fours hit in each match.., or the mexican waves..., or the charismatic cheerleaders, or the Stars themselves [read Shahrukh, Preity, Juhi, Katrina, Akshay, hrithik, ...etc, etc]....everything has just gone right...,the popularity of the contest has definitely covered up for all its flaws and controversies [the slapgate one being the prime]....

There has been a lot of young blood which has been unearthed during the series...,and everyone were floored...Shaun Marsh, Rohit Sharma, Gautam gambir, Sohail tanvir, Rudra Pratap Singh, Badrinath, Venugopal Rao, Shane watson, Virat Kohli, Pragyan Ojha, VRV Singh, Suresh Raina, wow!!!!!!!!!11and the list continues...

Cricket has had found a new meaning of late...While most of the people would actually want to watch the orthodox 5-day tests or the nail biting one days's...the ILP has come up with the innovative 20-20 for the fast moving urban lifestyles of the current generation...and should i say ..., I SIMPLY LOVED IT....

Pranita Raj,

For Deccan Chargers'

my poor blog!!!

Yeah... Its been ages since ive written.., but cant help it..ive turned real lazy..nowadays i make an entry on my ipod...[:(]...but ill see to it that the original charm returns to my dear old blog..

This is for ganesh...We all will miss u...

Didnt know this life was so short...and only when we lose someone so dear to us that we realise how small this life is...We'll miss u Ganesh..we all will...I would never forget the days of school.. nor will i forget the immensely popular pranks which u used to play on all of us...It is just two days since i spoke to u Guy...,U were so much alive...,so very much wanting to live.., to prove to the world tht ur not a coward....and today i wake up to find u gone forever......

I pay a silent tribute to this wonderful fren of ours who will always be cherished by all of us as the most dedicated person amongst us.....

P.S. Sorry ganesh.., i feel so very guilty...[:(]...i feel that i could have helped u out..,i could have pulled u out from ur depression...U were all the time shouting ur pain out through ur eyes and ur feelings..,but i didnt get it until it was this late....


MAY GOD REST UR SOUL IN PEACE....

From all of us here...,

WE'LL MISS U.

Sorry...

I know that u did ask me not to publish any personal snaps.., but im so sorry... i just couldnt help keeping these away from public view...

This Is Cool nai...

Well but for this.., i must not forget to thank my animator buddies..,Jyoti and Sheetal...The effort paid off well...

This is serious...

Well..,Raj has asked me to stop publishing photos in my blog.....So these are my last personal photos..,in my blog...They are tacky..,but they are the latest...So....,

I LOVE U SO MUCH RAJ

Just wanted to convey how much i love u............thanx for always being there for me.....love u honey...


Chinnu.

Love...my personal dedication to the person whom i love the most...,This ones for u Raj.......

Apart from te sense of elation, love also brings with it pain. still, we cant help being bitten by the love bug. why?? Is it better to have loved and lost.., than to have never loved at all????

People in love want what's best for each other. So, where's the risk of getting hurt? If you are in love., ur genuinely concerned about ur partner... it not just another responsibility. u strongly support ur partner through thick and thin while still enjoying each others company. People in love often give credit for good things tht happen in teir lives. Whats important is that falling in love is easy..., its remaining in love which is difficult.

U dont plan to fall in love.... its just happens... its genuine and comes from the heart. when u fall in love., u rise above everything. As love grows.., it transforms u., fro., it lends u a positive attitude and instils in u., a deep sense of commitment. It's a powerful and intense emotion which makes U focussed., where old attitudes and habits fade away making way for new ones.

U do feel hurt and depressed because love can make u lose ur sense of logic and perspective. but., falling in love brings that special glorious feeling - the beautiful music tht only the two of us hear..,the invisible thread that binds u together... no matter how far apart u are. Love gives u wings to fly and lifts u higher., makes u strong and ur world more meaningful. Keeping love alive involves a lot of hardwork., nurturing., sacrifice., understanding and never taking each other for granted. It means not just finding the perfect person.., but learning to love an imperfect person with all the spots.., faults and blemishes.

thinking abt it..., love rarely hurts.., it the hurt that hurts!! And tht happens when u have expectations... Believe in love and life after love. Sure., love can hurt.., but why deny urself the most magical., memorable moments in life just out of the fear of getteing hurt????

Sure.., it is better to have loved and lost .., than to have never loved at all....
coz.., love...., i'd say.., is the very foundation of life....,



LOVE U LOADS RAJ...,

Nee chinnu....

I've had a Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPE BUDDAE TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
