Kurumgad Island -Karwar Trip

After being exhausted and bored with our monotonous work , and since we believe in this slogan – “Work Hard , Party Harder” .
Our Team decided to go for a trip again this time for an island….. yeah sounds cool ryt….


It turned out to be one hell of an exhilarating trip I have ever gone for …..

We decided to go to KurumGad Island ,a 45 mins ferry ride from Karwar near Mangalore , which is a port town on the banks of Kali Nadi River .



This is the site…
http://www.thegreatoutdoorsindia.com/


Altogether we were 70 of them, and were split into 4 groups of 15 each and the rest 10 were Team building team.
The four teams had one lead each leading them , and I was the Lead for my team hee hee...

It was great being a Lead to several big shots in my team . I was a Team leader for 2 days.

The 4 teams were – Island Brigadiers, Tremendous 12, C-Rockers, DNA(Do Not Ask ),

Our Team name was DNA ….. Do Not Ask us why we opted that name……

Our points were calculated based on how each team assembled , collaborated, participated, mingled each and everything.

We took off on Friday evening @7.30 PM in 2 luxurious buses carrying 35 ppl on board each.
After lots of shor and hungama for 2 hours in bus we reached A1 Plaza which was Reliance Group’s restaurant had good dinner and started again.

It was a long drive to Karwar , it was supposed to take 10 hrs but we took almost 14 hrs cos of the small breaks which we took in between , had nice time in bus .singing aloud and stuff. Whoever dared to sleep were disturbed with whistles and slogans J

I however managed to fall asleep when I woke up the next day I cudnt believe my eyes the sight was splendid , we were going down a hill …. Covered with lush green trees and bushes , it was a marvelous site .

I woke up everybody next to me all were wonder struck ………..
Few mins from then we cud see the mangalore beach , we reached karwar in other 1.5 hours . we reached at 10 AM on the Karwar Port .

We took a ferry and reached Kurumgad island , we could see the meeting place of Kali nadi and Arabian sea , ( blue-green mix) it was too good.




We reached the island, at about 11 AM were very tired. Just barged in to our tents and cottages and took a quick shower and assembled back again to celebrate one of our seniors Bday party. It was a surpise for him we had made arrangements and had decorated his cottage as well where he was gonna spend a day with his wife …hmmm how romantic.

We then had our breakfast and started off with lotsof games like..Queen of Sheeba – where the “Most Demanding Queen “ on this earth would demand for all weird things and all our 4 teams shud set out and get her demands.


Some of her demands were like – 5 diffrnt kind of flowers, blue,pink,white rings, 4 LG Mobiles and stuff…..

And the other game was PonyTail competition , where the first round was gals tying pony tails to boys and the second round was vice versa.

We then played the Baloon-Blow until it bursts competition ….it was very funny…..


Then we were asked to pick a chit each for the late nyt Bonfire party now itself so that we get time to practice…

Team A- picked up Group Song, Team B – Skit ,Team C- fashion Show , Team D – Group Dance (J my team).

We all then changed to our Beach attire cos we were gonna hit the beach in some time.
We then reached the beach wow wat a splendind sight again the view from cliffs and other places which we have captured in our shots are extremely breath taking .

In the beach I cudnt stop myself from playing in the beach , and now u wont believe me being a lead I was being controlled by my team mates J … cos I was refusing to come out of the beach J

U know……I cudnt help It was tat good…. It was like that Cast Away movie island so clear and so good .

We then played Tug Of Wars which was real fun , at the end of all
the Team A,B,C,D competition we had a round where Gals Vs Boys was held….

Guess who won…………..




naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not boys it was we the simplest and sweetest creations of God - Gals who won the Tug Of War’s…..

And then we played another game which was so tiring, “Filling the Bottle with water” …not as simple as it sounds so….

The bottle was placed few mts away from beach, 10 ppl standing alternatively for each team.
The person near the beach should collect water in his palm and pass it to the next it continues and the person near the bottle should pour the contents in to the bottle…. By the time the water is passed from each and every ones hand it wud spill and hence took lot of time….
We then played “Art of Entangling “ , each team would be in a big knot formed by holding left hand of one person to right hand of the third person .
We were supposed to entangle and form one big circle without leaving of our hands.

Tat was fun too….

We returned back to our Tents and Cottages and had a quick shower, had lunch
and started of with our respective rehearsals for the group activity.
Our Team selected – Sajjna Di Vaari vaari of Honey Moon Travels for our Group dance.

It’s a good catchy song with nice beats. We practiced for sometime and then were just chilling out exploring all the places and views …

We had some Bday celebrations and Award function, we gathered up on dance floor and the events began again.

After the award ceremony we started up with the group performances the entire group did well… Our team danced well I guess after 4 years I danced forgetting every other thing on earthJ

Had extreme fun dancing. we then had dinner and started off with dancing again . I was one among the ppl who danced the whole night … don’t ask me how I managed but I did….along with swathi my friend….

We did tribal dance J near the Bonfire later at midnyt …and then from then on I cudnt ..
was all tired so returned back to my tent….

Some ppl were still partying out…

The next day morning we all assembled again after breakfast for the announcement of the winning group.

The –Tremendous 12 group won in most of the games so they were the winners… and my Team won the “Triumphant Group” prize….. For the zeal and passion we showed by dancing all nyt J

We then set out and left the island in the ferry , the buses were waiting for us at the port and we took off to Blore . It was a good Funfilled trip.

Charismatic Billy


Bill Gates has always been a inspiration to me... not cos of the money he makes but for the "Never ending success" he makes...


Microsoft has always had a soft corner in my heart .

It's been 3 years since i joined the student community and my best part of student life was me being a student champ .

The weekend session's , bi-annual events were really best time of my life.


In one of those days i got to witness the most unforgettable event which i missed out to blog abt.


he was in Bangalore on Dec 9 2005 . We got to see him in the "Ready to Rock tour " presentation one of the privileges i enjoyed being a student champ cum ambassador. lucky me...


"The very moment Bill Gates made his entry on stage .... all of us just stood and were speechless... dont know why....


It was dream come true for some .... his simplicty, patience, the way he thinks before and answers for a question shot at him was really good.


Can never forget the day....

Birthday gal!!!


Well the Birthday gal was obviously me ……….. I celebrated my birthday on jan 1 this week ...ya i was born on a new year day...


And this Birthday is so much different than the rest which I celebrated cos this year
I am an Independent Gal “ …….. Hmmm feels nice to say so… cos I had longed from a long time to call myself a Independent gal…. hee hee


My B’day date has its own pros and cons …well let me just tell the ‘Cons’ in this post (cos thinking positive is one of my resolution hee hee) Nobody forgets my birthday … I get wishes pooling in from several friends right from my friends at school to my College mates and work friends…. And the whole world celebrates my birthday.

Had a good time got a couple of good gifts from my sweetest friends , can never forget those wishes which was said to me on 12 AM on jan 1. Must be lucky to have such good friends.
Well this Bday am lil upset at some of my old close friends for not meeting me… issues are not sorted out still …. Well if u know me from years u will know wat are the consequences of making me angry hee hee…..


Apart from my B’day I welcomed this New Year with high hopes…….. 2006 was a great year for all of us in my family…right from mom getting her Dream house, me getting my Dream job, Sunny getting his promotion, and Dad ‘s recovering health condition and finding some peace in his job which was hectic all these years.


As years go by I can say that I take something or the other from the previous year,
And tat ‘something’ can be experience, memorable moments ,leaving behind the sorrows of my prev years…..

But I have noticed tat as I am growing up I feel tat life is getting more complicated, handling relationships… creating new friends and maintaining the old ones….phew….

As I am no more a student this year and have started working I feel more responsible of everything now….
Careful and cautious in everything ryt from the words I speak and their possible interpretations by others.
Conscious of the expenses I make and stuff… (not really hee hee).

But then I am loving the new Sense Of Responsibilty flowing inside me …………..

Christmas Celebrations ……..

On behalf of Christmas our project members came up with an idea of Secret Friend….
The concept is pick one chit among all the chits which had the entire team members name and get them a gift.

We weren’t supposed to spill the beans about who our secret friend is…
Every one were curious to find out secret friends of the other few succeeded few did not.

The idea was to get a gift in such a way that the person must know who would have given it to them….

We had the celebration on 20 th … we are lucky enough to get christmas gifts much before the Christmas…

I got a beautifull bag from Gopi dint expect a guy would purchase something so sweet for a gal.. .. And my Secret friend was Sunil I gifted him a Archies Mug…

We enjoyed he fullest … with Dumbsharads and Secret Santa Games spicing up our day…







Music For The Mind …………….

For all those who thought music is just for entertainment ……. Think again cos u r wrong….

Certain sounds aren’t just music for your ears but even to your mind. For they don’t merely please your senses but can also rejuvenate your health if used correctly.
That’s the premise of Music Therapy.

I read abt this therapy in the papers and got to learn more abt it . It is said that this therapy has its beginnings in the fact that everyone responds to music it helps speed up the recovery process especially after surgery. It’s also been effective in conditions such as stress, insomnia, depression and for pregnant women.

So the next time you return home after a stressful day, try tuning off your worries by turning on your music players…..
Some soothing music just might spare you a trip to the doctor much later….

SchoolMates - Re-Union


Last Sunday we had a Small Re-Union of few of our old schoolmates.
The feeling of meeting our old friends whom we haven’t met for quite sometime was quite interesting .
We decided to meet at the Gokul’s in CMH Road. Nothing particular abt the spot but it was a good restaurant..
Even though few of them dint make it to the Re-union, we had a good time.
Was surprised to see the quite ones turned naughty, and the mischievous ones turned very serious in life…. :)
And the short ones grown up long and thin ones gone lil fat… :)
In our long 4 hour meet we discussed various things, the most interesting part was finding out wat happened to the school crushes which is going on or off ……. And then abt our principal , teachers and stuff…. Gossips abt them…..

It was quite good . we had a great time. We all remembered writing down and telling our ambitions in class .. like I wanna be this I wanna be that when I grow up … we were just verifying abt everyone. Its sad that few cudnt attain their ambitions, and few did. Am happy tat I managed to achieve my ambition but then still long way to go… as my ambitions never end…

Well that’s life accng to me ,we need to keep on running and running as time and tide waits for none and we have to leave our mark in this world before we die .

Hope to meet everybody soon again.

Oooh La La Wonder La ..........

What a week it was………….. My first week work experience in Accenture was too good…. I must say I started my work with a big bang………….. Whole of our DU had been to Wonder La on 25 th …. Wonder la is a huge fantasy park which has got heart-pounding Dry rides and water rides …. Its widely spread across a huge area…


We started our Action Packed Wonder La adventure with one of the deadliest Dry ride of all – “The Maverick”.

It seemed like we were seated in the claws of a monster whose main intention was to drop us from the tallest position…….
We were upside down for a moment…. Felt like screaming like hell..and tat ‘s wat i had been doing the whole day………….. we were left hanging in Maverick for couple of seconds… hee hee………


We did some Net walking , everybody were trying our best to climb faster than the other…. One look underneath u will be dead scared….. All my ancestors came in to my mind…. I was so scared hee hee .........



And were Ready to be dropped at the “Drop Zone” ………… we then dashed each other Cars in the Dashing Cars……



After couple of such rides we had our lunch , I was lil disappointed over losing my fav long earing……


We then proceeded to Water Rides , started of with a cool swimming pool which had all these tunnels to slide and stuff….



We then proceeded to Wave Pool…. Bangalore is such a wonderfull city and name anything u want and u will find it except for an ocean …and poor bangaloreans don’t get to enjoy the ocean waves….. thanx to WonderLa for making tat wish come true too though not tat comparable with Ocean Waves.. the artificially created waves in Waves Pool was too good…..

We stayed in the Wave Pool for long time… clinging on to a Rope which is provided for support or else I wud have sunk…..





“Rain Disco” was the latest new attraction in Wonder la … it was awesome…. Cool songs played by DJ and Water Sprinklers all over with circulating colorful disco lights ……. All of our dancing skills came out tat moment…..
Couple of Couples :) were lost in their own worlds…..







We then got lazy in the “Lazy Pool”, with our PM’s daughter Anaga a cute kid leading us…… It’s a slow moving pool thru which we are supposed to float in those Life saving tubes or whatever….

We then made our way to “Twisters” which is a long closed and open two tunnel rides from 3 rd floor height….. the closed was lil scary which seemed like a never ending tunnel…..

“Water Pendulum’ ride was good too…. We then moved too the most famous and joy ride of all “Splash” tat was a good one……


Next and last Stop was “Musical Fountain” tat was good too…. Which was continued by good “ CineMagic” animated video……




It was a great experience overall…. More snaps are added in my album and recent snaps section……

IScan Tensions……………….

IScan is the name of the Software given to our Online Tests s/w.
We had some problems with it initially so we had offline test all these days…..

Today we had online test…. We were so nervous from yesterday cos the consequence of failing 2 tests was we being thrown “Out Of Accenture”.


Hmmm all 4 of us me, divya, sandhya and reenu had planned of so many strategies for writing tests….

I stayed back yesterday until 8.30 pm with Remya quizzing me ,Monappa,Tushaar and Gebin.

We prepared well but then too we were nervous cos the other batch people failed miserably and had received warning mails and stuff….

Finally the moment arrived and at 5pm after some initial hungama we took up the test….
Me and my friends cleared the tests with very good marks……

We are gonna have our final exit test Monday…….

Hope we do tat well too….

Training Batch Outing……………..

Its been almost a month and we even got our first salary in hands and had a feel of our Corporate life……. And our new trainer Sachin who trains us in java ,very sweet person who always used to play games like dumbsharads and stuff with us during breaks , he came up with an idea for a trip.

We planned abt the same for a week or so, and we finally decided to goto “Bluff Falls”,
i.e shivanasamudram and Talakad river basin.

Our friend Reenu dint make it for the trip , but we 3 divya ,me & Sandhya Dinesh were ready to go. We started for the trip on 29oct Saturday…….
Our friend Tushaar ditched us at the last moment by not coming......

We 13-14 of us hired a Tempo Traveller for the same, our journey to the place was a lil long……

we had good fun..with Ramya , sherin and Gebin singing out loud……
We three, me ,Divya and sandhya dinesh were happily engaged in a game called “Ano” … me and sandhya were confused initially abt the rules ,after so much efforts divya was successful in explaining it to us.

We reached Bluff falls …it was a lovely sight…..... Awesome place.....
We took a couple of snaps there and then we again rode back to the other side of Bluff falls where we were nearby the falls and we could play in the water……

Sachin started off by splashing water on everybody…. Everybody were wet except Monappa who was busy taking our snaps.

Abhishek , sunil and Puneet were trying to pose over a large boulder in middle of our falls…. Sunil swam for a while too….

We started from there and reached Talkad…. It was a good place too…
We went in a Row boat which was circular in shape….
The boat men even gave a spin to our boat it was awesome…..
we 3 were staying away from water…but then sachin,jebin and sherin pulled us into the water….

Everybody were busy playing in water…..
Pullling each other pushing each other into the water….. and wat not....

We had a great time……..Can never forget them..............

It was for three days Sep 30, Oct1 and 2…..

All of my Student Champ close friends like Garima,shreenath,abhinav,sabarish,Ghana,sharath,sunil and my junior Gautam were with me.

We left for Hyderabad on sep 29th around 7pm..it was a total hungama finding each other in majestic at the Volvo stop….

Me and Garima had made big plans for the trip,… I joined her directly from my training…. I was scared cos this was my first long trip away from my parents..

But then I dint allow anybody to guess that cos I know the consequences…

We reached Hyderabad on 30th… we had 2 Innovas and 1 Qualis waiting for us ….
Special treatment for all of us by Microsoft…

My friend Bhaskar is working in MS now..So we were gonna meet him there too…

Our room was too good…I was staying with Garima for all the 3 days…

B3-06

This is the number of my shuttle in which I travel to Bang3 situated in Banergatta road near Forum Mall.

It is a huge White and blue bus with Arrow symbol > in the glasses . Our company doesn’t use its name in most of the places , except for the symbol “>” .

The name and symbol signifies “Accent Towards Future”.

I got introduced to a friend called Abhishek in one of the Orkut communities for Accenture even before I joined .
sweet person used to give me all the information of what is happening in training and stuff, and he introduced me to Shantha Jyothi….

Shanta hmmmmm a calm gal with cute smile 24*7 , she stays near my home she accompanies me in bus.. We always make fun of some silly songs being played in our radio.

We have a couple of friends in Bus whom we haven’t spoken to until today but just notice each other and give a smile……

It s a long journey to office abt 2 hours …thanks for the Bangalore traffic or else it wud have been just a 45 mins journey…………..

Bangalore is getting overpouplated each and every day........................

"Gal Gang"

Ya we are a gang now…. Sandhya (me), Divya HD, Sandhya Dinesh ,Reenu Gupta -> gang members .

We should be awarded for saving the life of a guy who was trapped in Tower c lift one day….. we called the security ppl and they worked out a plan to help him out, but we were never thanked…..

Tats ok….. good deeds have to be done without any expectations………….

We spend most of our breaks in Rest Rooms and break out areas…. I don’t know why we gals love mirrors……

Most of the time we explore our huge office, we were lost many of times too….
Can never forget the experience of walking down all 13 floors after seeing the Hellipad……

Three cheers to our gang……….

Bang1….Bang2….Bang3……Bang4…..

Sounds like Gun shots ryt? Hee hee……
But these are the names given to our offices in Bangalore. I am in Bang 3 at present which is the largest IDC of Accenture in World.

It’s a huge office with Tower A,B and C inter connected on the top most floor.
The special attraction of Bang3 is the “Hellipad” at the 13 th floor.

We explored that place too…it was Awesome.

Bang3 is one “heaven” for many…..atleast for me and my friends .

We are currently in Green Field Training and our first 20 days on Foundation Training was held in SanIT solutions nearby Bang3 itself…..
After the training we were split in groups for stream based training, sad part is there was
no VS. Net allocated for our batch and we are currently in Testing stream.

We are having a ball of time here…especially out training room being in 7th floor near cafeteria.

“My First Day at Accenture”

Finally the day arrived……. And it was my Brother Sunny’s birthday too.
Our Induction Program was organized in “Gold Flinch” Hotel.

The day went well we had a great time, there were lot of presentations related to Accenture overview, Core Values, Life and safety, JSE Experience.

The lunch was great too. And I forgot to mention tat my friend Divya who was my classmate in SCTIT was with me in the same batch.

Harappa and Mohenjadaro’s city plan were much better…………………….

I don’t know why I remember my history lessons when I come across Kalkere Main Road in RM Nagar.

Even though the Main road has various shop outlets and many Bus stops ,there is a large sewage Gutter uncovered, I feel H & M’s city plan were much better….

It’s disgusting to start our day by passing through that road which happens to be the main road, Thank god there is no such things near my home………….

I am thinking of mailing to the Times Of India people abt the same…lets seee……

Relocation blues…………..

I got a mail from my HR Rep stating that I have been posted to Pune and my joining date is sep 6.

Don’t know what happened to me for a second when I was reading that mail, I couldn’t speak for some time, then slowly I turned towards to my mom and said her the news she was shocked too.

We were happy about the Job but never expected that I will be relocated to other city cos we had full hopes on being posted here. Had a tough time getting over the issue and gathering guts to move to a new city.

I have never been alone in my life far from my parents I guess tat’s the reason I was so depressed, I cudnt stay without my brother sunny too. I cudnt afford to loose my close friends… all these were diriving me mad…. But then I made up my mind that iam going to Pune.

My friends Sowmya, Nadeem and Divya were also recruited for Accenture.
Sowmya was posted to Hyderabad, Nadeem to Mumbai, and Divya still waiting……

My flight tickets were booked all set and then suddenly I get a mail from DeeptiRaj tat iam posted to Bangalore office ,she was my HR dept representative , doesn’t matter who she is cos at that moment she was my Goddess.

There was some problem in the Pune office so it was postponed and we were posted to Bangalore and our joining date was extended to sep 18.

I was really so very happy tat day……. Was jumping around calling all my loved ones telling them tat iam gonna torcher their lives by not living Bangalore.

Mom’s Dream House

Mom’s Dream House

After a long wait , mom’s dream came true, we moved into the new house at Sir MV Nagar, Rammurthynagar.
The House warming ceremony was held on 27 August on Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
It’s a beautiful house, with 2 bedrooms and a Guest room on top of our house,
Iam thrilled with the small area of grass lawn and many flowering plants at the front of our house.

It’s a calm place, except for the fact that its little bit interior from the city’s centre than our old house which was at GM Palya near BEML.

Had a tough time leaving my old place but then life goes on…. Will miss my old place where I spent 8 years of my life, and all my important academic period (10,12,and engg) was spent there .

I am loving my new house, will post snaps of it very soon.

My Dream Job

Ya this is wat I call it. After so much hustles and disappointments of losing out my second last final round of Adobe interview , I was actually a bit gloomy… but then The Adobe experience was awesome, there were totally 7 rounds, one written test and six technical interviews. I cleared written test + 4 rounds and lost n 5 th round.
Anyways it was a good experience cant forget Ravi Kiran and Praveen of Adobe who were my interviewers in technical rounds , who screwed me royally and made me realize my limitations. Which are gonna be taken care in near future .

Now coming to the good part, I got a notification mail from VTRACU, this was a
Placement Program which was a joint venture between our VTU university and Meritrac ,
Which is a leading Placement agency.

I had written the Meritrac test 2 months back during my 8th sem itself, never knew tat it wud be so benfecial.
The Meritrac test itself was a long process , 2 written tests verbal + quantitative, HR round and GD(which turned out to be speak abt a topic ).

The mail suggested us to set preferences to the companies which are tied up with the VTRACU program.
The companies were Accenture,Mindtree,TCS,TESCO, Subexetc…..

My preference was 1.Accenture 2. Mindtree 3.TCS ….

After a week I got a mail saying tat july 30 is my interview process and Accenture interview time was scheduled.

It was at RNSIT college which I knew quite well , I waited a long time before the first round cud start, and then the time came when my name was called out.

The GD topic was “ Should the mobile phones be banned in colleges?”
Bingo…….. cos first of all I speak a lot and this topic was pretty interesting even though I hate mobiles being banned cos am addicted, I spoke “for” the topic that is “should be banned” .
I cleared the round I spoke well J

My next round was technical round, a strict young guy was my interviewer he somehow managed to greet me with a smile, and he said gimme a minute to go thru your resume, and then he asked abt my MS acticivites, final year proj and then he started shooting questions abt oops,c,c++, and abt Ajax,and .NET which normally they wudnt ask but he started may be cos of my proj.

After a while he said “ya u r done”, I asked him “have I cleared?” cos each and every round was a elimination round, and since he never smiled or nodded I never knew whether i was ryt or wrong.
He gave a smile and said “don’t worry” , you will be notified.

The meritrac volunteer came upto me after few minutes and said u can go for the “HR Round “ ,phew….. it was such a relief.

I went in for the HR round there was a sweet lady with cute smile, I forgot to mention she was damn cute ,young and beautilfull J .

She started with few qs abt my family and then my schooling, and then she asked why did I give Accenture had first preference and stuff.

Some qs regarding company and then she asked bat MS activities and whether I had other job offers I told her abt UST .

And then she went on for a while, and said ok “you are done”.

I went out was waiting with my fingers crossed to hear the Good news, I was a bit confident by then tat I wud clear.

After some time I was called and sent to a room where I had to sign my Offer letter, I cudnt control my excitement, by the time they were getting the papers ready, I messaged my parents and close friends abt it.

After few minutes I signed the offer letter. And was officially now employed to my company J

Can never forget the day….. -"Go On,Be A Tiger"
