Tuesday 9th Nov (Gossip and Movies)

Here I am writing about movie gossips.. don't get confused with blog title

Ooooo.... It's a busy day. I woke up and went straight to laptop to do some office work (Don't ask me when I woke up there are somethings which I can't mention here as they may spoil my reputation :) ). Just reached home and writing the blog.

Few minutes back I have watched new Orange trailers and they are looking fabulous. Charan dresses and style looks great (Don't ask me how he is). offcurse Genelia is simply super and beautiful. I am eagerly waiting to watch Genelia. unfortunately it won't be released here and I have to adjust with Cam print (Hopefully someone will upload it in first day). I always think why the hell producers are not thinking to release movies online where I can buy a ticket and watch it only. They could even stop some percentage of piracy by releasing online.

Lets analyze further on this topic, I know if a movie get released online, sure at least 50% NRI's could watch it on the first day (specially fans like me and my roommates) and even some set of people could watch in India. I know there are lot of family who don't have time and flexibility to go to cinema theater. everyone will think it's a good idea in the first glance but there are important draw backs in it. Now pirates can make good quality copy by sitting at home and one person will buy a ticket and 100 people will watch it. I thought about it long time ago and haven't analyzed further to stop above major issues. So lets drop this idea for now. I'll update If I find some solutions to it but sure, there could be solutions to over come these issues.

Yesterday I wrote about a habit which I have stopped and wanted to start it again. Today I am going to write about a bad habit which I have been developing from past 2 years. Can any one guess? My friends in Netherlands can easily guess. I can say, I am kind of addicted to "Great Andhra" website (Telugu and English versions). Website will full of gossips. I know nothing is true in the website but I still read it at least 5 to 8 times a day. Even I read it in my office hours. I have been doing it because in the past, I don't have enough work to do at home n office. Now I have handful of work, still my fingers type automatically "Great Andhra" website URL whenever I open a web browser.

Today I have decided to stop it. First day was good, I didn't even open it n hope I'll continue in future. For Sure, nenu okkasari anukunate na mata nene vinanu (If I decide once, I'll not listen to myself). Reading gossip is fun but don't get addict to it. If someone has habit of reading gossip, please spend that time to read something valuable or knowledgeable. It's my free advice n it's up to you to follow (no force).

PS: Don't take my advice seriously and don't stop reading my blog even though it doesn't have any gossip. If you like gossip in my blogs, please inform me. I'll try my best to add some gossip and masala to my blogs.

Monday 8th Nov (Spend a hour to learn something everyday)

While I was walking to office I remembered that I have forgotten few things at home... felt lucky to have roommates. immediately I have called my roommate and asked him to bring it to office as he is also working at my office... why I am mentioning here is to prove I was in half sleep till reach office. But I'll be recharged with full energy in 5 to 10 minutes coz I am having my Cappuccino which is not as good as Starbucks Cappuccino but much better than my coffee at home.

Yesterday I was thinking about what was the good habit which I have learnt and not continuing now. Immediately first one which come to my mind was reading / learning a hour everyday. Which I have learnt when I was doing my M. C. A project work and continued till 2008. I did my project work in a company where one of the MD used to read everyday minimum four to five hours. I used to admire his concentration and willingness to learn daily.

Slowly I was performing better in the company and soon I became his favorite student / employee. Why I said student is I learnt a lot there and it's a good basement for my career. I learnt a lot in 8 months time which I didn't learn in my 3 years M. C. A. After I became his favorite, One day he said these words to me "Santosh spend at least a hour everyday to learn something which could be technical or functional or something else... sure it will help you somewhere in your life". I was inspired with his words as I know he has been reading daily and he has lot of knowledge on all areas.

I have started learning something everyday... but I was limited my learning to technology may be I am more interested in technology stuff. which helped me to understand about lot of technologies even though I am working in Oracle Applications world which doesn't have open doors for innovation. later on I have started reading some functional stuff to increase my product knowledge. This process has given me lot of confidence.

I have stopped this process from past 2 years, don't ask me why? because even I don't know the answer. May be I build more interest on other things or may be I want to enjoy more or may be something disturbing me to concentrate on learning. But I can say, I stopped my learning process as a result I don't know something new which I don't know 2 years back... frankly today I know bit little less than what knew 2 years back (only exception is I learnt few things from my experience).

Finally I have realized and I want to start it again. This is time, I thought a bit more than learning. I was learning from few years which improved my knowledge but did I utilize my knowledge? No I didn't or might be used in few occasions but it's not enough. If you are learning something and not using then what is the purpose of learning? knowledge only grows either when use it or when you share it. So this time, I have strongly decided to utilize my knowledge which I am gaining from learning and I don't wanna stick to technology stuff.

Lets see how it goes and I'll try my best to write what I am learning but in a different blog. I advice you to spend a hour everyday to learn something new if you are interested :).

Sunday 7th Nov

This is my first blog here. I hope it won't be my last. I am known for starting things but never continue or never end any thing.

In the past I wrote few blogs on my learning experience and technical skills but haven't continued later on. Suddenly today again felt like writing a blog but this time I wanted to write something non technical so decided to write a blog on my daily experience and feelings (non-personal) . Here I am now and writing...

as usual I woke up today at 1PM as I went out yesterday and slept at 3AM. Immediately I want to call my friend (roommate) who went yesterday for a party with lot of hopes to find a girl. I took my phone and dialed his number... I heard a voice from downstairs asking me to end the call... it was his voice and he was already at home.. I was surprised... in few minutes he walked into my room and started explaining how the party was? what happened? But I was more interested on the end result :) did he get any girl or not? finally the answer is no as most of the girls came along with their boy friend...

he said it's a students party and how they are living and how they are entering into each other rooms and having conversations with each other... I was listening to him but back in the mind I went back to my college days specially to MCA days... where we used to do the same things... I felt those days were much better than now... given a chance I think everyone love their college days and want to go back... but unfortunately no one invented time machine till now expect in few movies... If there is one... I want to buy and go back to those days.. to enjoy and correct my mistakes...

While I was in my imaginations and suddenly something hit me... F*** it's my turn to prepare lunch and it's already too late.. Immediately I ran to Bathroom and had quick refresh. ooops, what to cook now. Ooohh I decided yesterday itself. I am gonna cook Spinach with Corn which I had it 2 years back at an India restaurant in Hyderabad and I liked.

I prepared it and I was watching "Namasthe Obama" in NDTV while having my Brunch. There was a big debate on Pak and India and US role in this relationship... few of the high ranked persons had been giving their opinions... which are even known to kids.. I completely didn't understand why they are discussing... Then I decided it's time to leave the place and do phone calls to family. I had a talk with parents and sister and I have tried to reach few friends but they haven't answered the calls.

By the time, I am done with these calls I felt bit head ache and prepared coffee which I didn't have from morning (You have right to ask me, How you can have it in the morning If you woke up in afternoon.) After a cup of coffee I felt energized thanks to the person who asked me drink again.. my sincere apologies to god because I broke my oath...

what I did after cup of coffee is something which I wanted to do from morning... writing the blog... oops I have completed it finally..

If you like my blog do let me know your feedback and want you want to hear more in my daily routine...
