Time to say gud bye to all my friends....

I was enjoying the music and suddenly this song was on the track -- "Friends are Friends Forever" song by Michael W Smith. I really enjoyed this song and I wanted to dedicate this song to all my wonderful buddies.... The lyrics were written by Deborah D Smith.
The song goes like this...


Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show

We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

To live as friends

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

No a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

Will miss you all :( :( :(

అమ్మ

I felt like posting the same post which I've written in my other blog here also. It is all about mother. A wonderful description in Telugu.

ఎందుకో ఈ రోజు అమ్మ గురించి రాయాలనపడింధి. అందుకే అది కూడా తెలుగులో మొదలు పెట్టాను. నేను వై యస్ జయమ్మ గారి కుమార్తె రాసిన పుస్తకం ఆడియో వింటున్నాను. దాని ప్రారంభంలో అమ్మ గురించి చెప్పారు. కనిపించని దెవునికి కనిపించే ప్రతిరూపమే అమ్మ. దేవునికి తన బిడ్డలపై ఉండే ప్రేమను అమ్మ ప్రేమ ద్వారా చూపిస్తున్నాడు. అమ్మ అన్నది ఒక కమ్మని మాట. మధురాగానురాగాల తరగని మాట.

Swimming trance

After Olympics and especially after my trip to Sydney, I've finally decided to take Swimming classes because I've realized the importance of swimming in Sydney. I've shown much interest in taking swimming classes. Since my childhood every summer my dad used to force us(my brother n me) to join the swimming classes but we never did what he asked us to do. We normally don't take elders words seriously until we experience the bad consequences in our life which they asked us to take care of. I think I'm exceeding my boundaries in teaching philosophy [:D] Anyways with the inspiration of Michael Phelps [:D], went to the stadium for registration. Unluckily the registrations for that month (August) were closed. Again a hinderance :( I made a strong decision that I should join swimming from September. Waited desperately for the 1st of September. As usual I've lost completely in my work :( Forgot about swimming and it was already 7th of September. So on Monday which was 8th I decided to get myself registered. (The dates are not sure which I'm mentioning) Successfully registered for swimming. Guess what happened, again an obstacle on my way. Then it was a weird obstacle. Doctors in our college asked students of IIIT not to attend swimming classes. I was so angry and I thought eventhough I get anything, I loose my skin color or anything I decided not to stop joining. Just before I was planning to join that next day, few hours before going for the swimming class, we received a mail mentioning that. Finally with a great inspiration from Phelps who won 8 Gold medals in Beijing Olympics [:D] of course I cannot ever think about acheiving, I wanted to learn swimming at least. Got addicted to the swimming videos of major events like Olympics especially videos of Phelps. Really am a biggest fan of Phelps. Even am a fan of Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe who took retirement. Ian Thorpe was the first youngest male ever to represent Australia at an age of 14. Phelps declared once that Thorpe was his inspiration . When I was watching the videos of Beijing Olympics, how cool Phelps was. I suggest you to watch those clips if you ever get a chance. In every event he was so cool without any tension on his face and every time he was listening to music and coolly he takes his position and the way he swims was so amazing. The way he rolls back by hitting the other side of the pool was a very very interesting one. Anyways I'm going out of the topic I guess [:D]. After joining swimming, getting dreams that I was drowning and suddenly waking up in the middle of night. It was so terrible and now I am confident that at least I will learn well and am learning slowly. I feel that everyone should learn swimming. In foreign countries almost everyone knows how to swim. I encourage each and everyone to learn swimming which is a very helpful one and is also a good relaxation for the body. No one knows, it may save your life someday!!!


He is Michael Phelps who won eight gold medals in a single Olympics who set the world records in almost all the different events of swimming. He is an exceptional swimmer I've ever seen in my life. You can read more about him in wiki :)

6th sem

This sem I took WDKM..and crop production...and some other courses...but the most funniest time I had is in crop class. I don't know what happened but when some of my seniors asked how the crop course is, I told them that it was very gud. Most of my seniors registered for this course [:D]. Did I became very [popular/stupid] because of this because whenever someone wanted to know who Lydia was, then the immediate answer was the one who listens lectures of crop course [:D] which was very funny. Coming to WDKM, it reminded me of my boring social studies class in my highschool which needs all memorization and byhearting. The Quiz and the way how this course was taught to us, I didn't find it as interesting as DWDM. Basically I've fallen sick during this sem and it affected me very badly because for checkups, I was missing classes and was getting scared of attendance and all the time roaming around the hospital and waiting for the doctor's appointment and with all these things, I've lost my patience but learnt how to be patient. Sometimes I got vexed because of my critical health conditions which I've never seen in my life. It was both mental and physical agony too. One night I was so ill that immediately my uncle and aunty came from Sec'Bad and took me to a doctor. All these things if I sit alone and think, I thank GOD for helping me to get out of all those miserable and grievous situations..
coming to the second phase of my semester...got a mail from Australia confirming my internship.. ..it was an exciting and also a shocking news for me bcz I totally have no hope... anyways, I started applying for visa and I think no one has gone through such a tedious process.. have filled my application wrongly and it I kept on calling the Delhi High Commission to inform them about this, they kept on asking me to submit few documents. It was so irritating but for my dreams to come true, I should submit whatever they ask me to provide. I'm supposed to be there in Aus by April 1st week. One side regular appointments with my doctor, the other side visa process and the other side end sem exams.. I've never undergone such a pressure. Unexpectedly the visa consulate asked me to submit my medical reports. Since I was affected with slight bronchitis type infection in lungs, I've lost my hope. I've told my doctor about Aus trip and he gave me assurance that my health conditions won't have any effect and also he gave me a very strong medication. The consulate asked me to go through a lung x-ray, my nerves were swollen because of tension and exactly at that time, my uncle left for my granny's place and I have no idea how to go to the hospital and have a medical checkup. My cousin was with me and we both went. I've undergone the x-ray but since because of my sickness am not very sure whether the reports were positive or not. Australia is very particular about the medical reports. Friday they took the xray and immediately on monday they called from the hospital asking me to come to the hospital for another xray. Next day was my endsem exam, what to do?? I was like a football and all the situations were playing with me....neways I was able to go there and had an x-ray again in another angle and they've sent the reports to the High Commission. Days are passing by and it was almost one month for me when I applied for visa. And the date on which I shud be there in the Uni was approaching fast. What to do, no reply from the High Commission. Called them and explained my situation. One side I'm praying and GOD promised me but I don't have enough faith and I started getting tensed. The day of registering myself in the Uni finally came but no response from the High Commission. I've decided that I should not get panic. My mother used to tell me to be an optimist. Slowly I've decided to forget about Australia and my dreams. I stopped calling the commission too. But my father forced me to call the office in Delhi. So, I've talked to the concerned visa officer and told her the entire situation. She understood my situation and assured me of getting visa but asked me to be patient. She consulted the immigration office in Australia. My Uni people were mailing me and I've requested them to shift my internship period. By god's grace they've accepted my proposal and their permission was even approved by the commission in Sydney. But what about the process here in India?? Finally the day came when my visa officer mailed me telling that my health reports were good and told that soon the passport will be asked for visa stamping. I was so happy. I was spellbound. No bounds for my joy. I've told my friends and family. My visa officer next day called me again and asked me to send the passport. So, we started for Delhi. Reached Delhi, met my Visa officer and handed her my passport and that day also she was not sure whether the same day she can finish the stamping of visa. I've requested her. We were outside the Australian High commission office where the UK commission is just opposite to this building. People were coming out of the office with a big grin on their faces. I was so sad and I really experienced agony in my heart, why everything is going bad with me. Because the flight tickets from Hyderabad were available only on 30th April and after that 23rd May only which was too late. I've thought to be patient. Everything was for my own goodness only. Finally the call came and my visa officer asked me to come inside and collect my passport. Vow am so happy and we flew back the same day evening and started packing things for Sydney!!! Learnt in my Life that GOD's promises are always true and he will never fail you!! I really thank GOD for teaching me many lessons...sometimes we keep running after things desperately and don't wait for the correct time for a particular thing. We will be in a hurry to gain what we expect without waiting for God's time. HIS plans are higher than our own plans!!!
will be continued in the next post...

My 5th sem

After a long long time, I'm posting a new one. Completed my 5th sem successfully by GOD's grace :) I don't know how I've changed means my way of relationship with GOD, my way of studying and many many things. GOD gave me a great realization that I should do the work which he has assigned me with my whole heart. Two years I've wasted my precious time :( I don't know what is the mistake but I didn't find myself satisfied with my work and study. This sem really enjoyed a lot with almost all the subjects which I've opted for. DWDM is a little hectic course but it now became my favorite course and I've learnt a lot about Data Mining and all that stuff. Even remaining courses also enjoyed a lot especially LP class with Navatha. Every week Sunday night we dint sleep early because monday morning DWDM assignment submission... dint find much time to spend with friends or even family members too. Really really enjoyed a lot in my work. First time in my life, wholeheartedly worked and not even caring about the grades and all the remaining stuff because GOD has seen me working and it is his wish now. Whatever he wants me to be, I need to accept it and I will accept :) Don't know where we'll go finally in our life... thinking of my fourth year, I'm having fear of missing my friends here :( but life has to go like that only... It is very sad to leave this campus, Friends, Profs and all these late-night assignments, exams, project submissions, blah blah blah....
Its sure that I'll miss IIIT.

cooking expertise

Since these are my vacation days and I've only little work of doing my summer project, I wanted to cook food myself...I told this idea to my mom and immediately she felt very happy. As usually about mothers it is common if we ask something related to kitchen stuff, they'll provide us the necessary requirements for our comfort, when I'm returning to college, she packed luggage which consists mainly of kitchen related stuff and even gave me many suggestions in cooking.

Now starts the important part [:D]. Initially for a few days it was really a great excitement to do cooking. But later on I came to know how difficult it was. Neways that's the other side of having less interest. As of now, with my friends I'm trying a lotta stuff. Main item which we do is maggi (as usual for every hostel student's fav stuff) and vegetable pulav. Everyone like the taste of the food which I prepare. To know this I think you can see the comments for this post[:D].

I feel that Pulav was the tastiest one and yummiest item which we've prepared till now. As usually I always take the part of cooking, where bringing requirements for the preparation was taken by Anups, Shalz and Spandy(Spandy u always go to violin class and skip no??[x(]). Remember the easiest work which we do is preparing pulav with egg fry. One should see how we really work during the preparation [:)].I dont think we do any work with such a concentration even our assignments :) because experience is that some times if we dont put concentration during making fry, they'll become as black as a charcoal[:D]. Neways had a great experience in cooking and hope I won't cook like a novice after such a great experiences and experiments in the future.

ohh srry I forgot one thing......I donno who got the idea of taking a snap during cooking.see the pic and u can judge now, whether ours will be tasty or not if we cook like this.Btw the snap is not ours [:P] scroll down to see the snap

ThE fAvOrItE dAy WhIcH I AlWaYs LoNg FoR..........

I always wish for this beautiful, fair-haired, hallowed,......day. That is Sunday. "Vow!!!!It's sunday....phew!!! the whole week's burden is released" I always feel like this.
When I'm very young, I love those days and I wish such days again come in my life. Sunday means most of the day, we used to spend in the Church. We lived far away..approx 5Kms from the Church and so to utilise the time we used to pack our food and stayed there till evening.
When I'm young means in my high-school days, GOD gave us a beautiful house which is somewhat near compared to the old rented house. School days were amazing...and if I ever think about that I feel I'm really missing them alot. Even if I want them we can't go to the history :( Time once passed, is passed. In those days our schedule was morning waking up early, having some breakfast and riding our bicycles going to sunday school. I LoVe SuNdAy ScHoOl. It has played alot, in transforming me and was a great blessing to me. We had many competitions like singing, memory verse telling,etc. It was a great fun. Apart from fun as I've mentioned a great blessing for all, whoever have attended.After SuNdAy ScHoOl, along with my parents, my brother and myself used to go to church.Sunday evening was a great fun. My brother and I used to play Cricket!!!(I play cricket well [:)] in such a way that my brother sometimes din't allow me to play because my batting was such a terrific one that ball always bounced on to other's terrace[:D])
When I'm in college(pre-university)....I went to Nellore. No fun nothing....A new place...New environment...New members in church and everything NeW. I made myself adjusted to all that and very soon I became habituated with all those. Sunday was my favorite. When I went to Church I feel at home. We were not allowed to go out without incharge's permission and should go with our hostel warden. God helped in such a way that it is a shock to tell....our college principal, who can also give permission, sometimes informed the driver of our college vehicle to help us to drive to church and return. Thank you LORD for putting grace in the eyes of those people. I sometimes missed church on sundays and so we used to have prayer in the hostel itself. I came to know the importance of prayer and church in an individual's life when I was in Nellore and I suffered from the feeling of missing Church on sundays. Because none other day I enjoyed myself in the week, more than sunday and if I lost that also......it was very pitiable. After two yrs my brother got admission in the same college and then all happies. We both used to go together.It was gr8.
When I'm in university means now.....It's all happy. No permissions, nothing from anyone. We have such a freedom here. Every week I enjoy in the presence of my LORD, my Friend. Whole week busy wid assignments, deadlines, projects, blah blah blah.....I sleep very early on sundays. Monday, again routine busy life starts...So..today is saturday and enough for now.... tomorrow I should wake up early to go to Church in time.Gud nite!!!!
