Hey soul sister!

            It is an association of over 21 years now.And I'm just more than happy to express what it feels to be associated with her.Shez sweet,shez funny,shez cute,shez foolish,shez lazy,shez ...lots. Can’t find words describing her.
Since my childhood,i have been fighting with her for a trifle and winning over her, just because she gives in. I realized it just recently.
She is fun to be with. shez an old wine,or atleast she was.
We speak a language that only she and i can understand,call it our ciphered language or slang...no bothers.
Shez some one with the best of the lines in her palm and the best of the writings on her forehead.I can prove it with hell lotta examples.For now,i'l keep it simple,for something that i toil night and day,putting my heart,mind and soul and everything else,she gets it done in a jiffy without even planning to do it.WOW!m J!!!

Separations have made our bond stronger!

1)Our first separation was way back when i was in my 4th standard and she had to go to Madhya Pradesh for a Scouts and Guides camp.And there i go.....i went to the station and cried horribly,so horribly that my dad still resents recollecting that day.
It is just so amazing of her, she got so many things for me to play with :))))Selfish me.....muaahhhahahaaa!!:D

2)We then got separated for the second time dated...Sept 14th 2006,gearing up for a separation for a longer gap of 4  and  a half years.I was then doing my Inter second year and she was in her B.Tech second year.We had to get separated because my mom and dad were transferred.I didnt necessarily confess that i would miss her beacuse that was the time when i thought crying would make me feel weak or atleast they would think i'm weak.I remember when i rushed to the washroom and shed my tears uncontrollably and came out as if every thing was fine and pretended as if i was happy getting separated.4 and half years...really long time.Damn IT!!!
I was waiting desperately  for my family reunion that had become a dream then.

3)We then got separated for the third but last time i suppose....This time it was and still is really long!November 2nd 2011.This time she got married.All the days soon after the wedding dates were fixed went away in her wedding preparations and we did not actually have time to spend with one another.I was so happy that I would now have my ATTIMBER(JIJU) home…I was so happy that my miss sister had turned Mrs. And very happy that she would be typically an Iyer Mami in her 9 yards sari…..I was happy for all the reasons.On Nov 2nd when she was leaving,I was still busy packing up her luggage…and I did not realize that the time has come to say bye to her….
The scene at the railway station.Time:6:40 p.m

Everybody was taking turns to hug her and cry and give some fresh nuptial tips.She then came to me and held me and said “Akka…main jari”.I didn’t know,what was happening to me…it was kind,I lost a beat of my heart…It was then I realized that she would be off to Blore…to her family.My heart was just crushed I felt.
Some one with whom,I have been with,for so so so many years would now be gone.I suddenly turned around and hugged and cried my heart out.I really miss her.I'm J of my jiju who stole my sister….probably that’s how  it is supposed to be.

It has been a month and a half now…I have been missing her like hell.Time has taught me what she means to me..
She has been my mentor,implicitly.She was somewhere my guiding spirit.I still remember the day before my SST exam of 8th class when she had made  a sample question paper and the very same questions appeared the next day.WOW I passed in SST!Same did she do for my EDC exam…Although i don't have examz now,i still miss your mentoring! 

Times in my sleep when I used to get up with some obnoxiously scary dreams…I remember how I used to hold your hand that used to used to calm me down.I miss it!
Our day used to begin everyday at 11:00 P.M after our dinner and it would encroach into the next day nearing 2:00 a.m or so… My day ends by 11:00 p.m now. I miss it.
Our mornings used to begin with screams…it doesn’t happen now..I miss it!
You were there to stand beside me as a pillar of support for everything and anything even if I were wrong.:P…I miss it!
I miss those moments when we shared the lighter moment, when we had become pillows to one another, when we became confidants, when we partnered our mischief, when we used to hang out together, when we cried together, laughed together, fought together…Gone are those days…Would not have them again akka.
Where ever I go,whatever I do,you would be my bulwark…lest I fall!
Billi (how she was fondly called)…I really love you and …I miss you so much..I know I have been a fool at times, sick at times, mad and crossed at times…please forgive for that!



Ahead of all these..i have something to say..I'm fortunate enough that i had you in my life,shared 21 years of my precious life with my priceless pearl and thanks so much!!Love you loads and wish for all the happiness to come your way!!

2 mins......okay.....cheers!



Wouldn’t find a better opportunity to post this...
A post dedicated to sum1 very close 2 my heart.....Chandrasekhar alias Chandu.
It was somewhere in july,that i had seen him for the first time in green chex,super tall...First words of Chandu ”Hi guys!”
Mayur then called us for a small round of introduction with Chandu.We all introduced ourselves and it was his turn....He began with saying “Hi guys!I’m Chandrasekhar.You can call me Chandu .I’ve done my MBA from BITS Pilani.      I had worked with JP Morgan ...........My aim in life is to have  a chain of schools that provide value based education..............”

I probably  did not understand his thought over value based edu.I’m kinda obtuse to understand things much higher than my level of understanding.:P(a confession)
But a glimpse of Chandu,all that remained in my mind is...
1)he is Chandu..:P
2)he worked with JPM
3)He is  a pass out from BITS Pilani.
4)Seemed like he was extremely passionate about what he was doin.
There are lots of other things offline as well.....

Flash news!
And i got a tadang news or rumour or whatever....”Chandu was joining EHL as the new CEO”OMG!
I happened to visit ISB for some reason where I had met one of Mayur’s friend Hasa.After the session at ISB ,on our way back,she had asked me about people from BITS who were working for Nirmaan.I named one by one when I said that some guy Chandrasekhar is going to be the new CEO of EHL.
She exclaimed “You mean PUCH?”
I was wondering...what’s Puch! She then said that he was  much known as PUCH.
Oh wow PUCH!
The name Puch was sounding so good.Mast!PUCH PUCH PUCH!
I had a chance of speaking to Chandu through Chandu’s brother Rajasekhar for a career workshop in a BC welfare hostel.

I had seen RajaShekhar and he was kinda a similar to Chandu.
OMG! Their height,the way they talk,their jestures,their mannerisms .......wow!
I and my sister resemble in no bloody sense.

Back to EHL...
If m not wrong, it was August 22nd that he officially joined as our new CEO.
I had a  full time, kind of immaculately dressed, hopefully nice CEO....:P
Nice!There was someone under whose constant watchful eyes,we were working..LOL!

It was my turn for one-on –one......
My first talk:
The description goes like this.....
He was in blue striped shirt. He had an add gel black pen in his pocket, a wonderful jet black Matrix diary in his hand.We walked our talk . We headed towards our office canteen,he took a few steps ahead of me and turned back and asked me “Chai tagutava geetha” in a typical rustic style.
I was dumbstruck............:O
Thoughts running in my mind.....A guy from BITS Pilani,A guy who worked for JPM and had been abroad, someone so professional...i did not expect him speak so.aah..!


2 minutes:
Gradually i started feeling pretty much comfy with Chandu and the working environment was really a feel good thing.We got really busy in frequent meetings.He brandishes his hands and says “Geetha! 2 minutes...” to call for  a meeting and trust me the meeting never ends in 2 mins,it doesn’t even start in 2 minutes.

Okei:
He has a typical way of giving his okei.His okei takes a raag,a raag that is tpically Chanduish...:P

Cheers!:
Every small accomplishment, every small or big meeting, every tiny or big delivery ...ends in a “cheers” by Chandu!..:D

Some things i now know about Chandu...
·        He is very spiritually inclined.
·        He is very yogic in nature....:P I mean,believes  in lot of yoga and stuff and suggests me also to do....:(
·        He loves adventures
·        He never compromises on any enjoyment in life.
·        Every experience in his life is MAST to him.
·        Loves playing cricket..infact he is crazy about it.
·        He stands as a  bulwark of support
·        He is a pillow to lean on, at times of distress, time  we feel low.
·        He is never caustic in speech.
·        He gives mast, solid comparison......”Sachin kabaddi addoddura......”OMG! what a bottom line!
·        He sees life as a collection of experiences.Lives Life King Size..:))

Best moments:
1)In Kurnool,wen i was feeling so damn low , it was he who had backed me up and reassured me.And trust me,i was feeling lot lot and lot better.Thank you so much for that.

2) Joy of seeing...: P
During the joy of giving week,I was so desperately waiting to see someone to boost our spirits and the busy bees of EHL, Chandu and Charan had just been making empty promises. With the sickening feeling of distress and discontent was talking about YV to someone, wen I suddenly saw Chandu come from somewhere.Oh my GOD! My energy levels were boosted by many manifolds.Hammayya......I finally had Chandu visit our stall.
The best of the best moments during the joy of giving week was, when I was introducing Chandrasekhar alias Chandu to Chandrashekharan, a dad that Joy of Giving week had given me.:))

3) I always wanted to have my team, my home.Occassions just passed by, but I wasn’t able get my team home. It was somehow donot know how....time just got the stork!
OMG! The whole of my team was coming home. It was on 3rd December, 2011 when Chandu, Vikram, shalin, Phani, Rajesh had come home. Trust me...I was more than happy to have all of them home.A day I cannot forget. It was just an hour and a half that we spent time together, but did dwell in deep in my heart.

4) "Miru navvite acham Prakash Raj leane untaru"
Our first workshop in the  presence of some governing member......cold feet!

The workshop was in a residential boys hostel at borabanda. Shalin, Chandu,Prem and I were travelling by MMTS train to borabanda. There was this not so filmy type placement of these two guys who walked straight and occupied their positions at the other door of the compartment.:D
 There came a drunkard.....aah!yukkk!He was kinda about to get messy with us...when the girls rightful places were allotted their places.We were offered to stand at the door side.The drunkard was just so sickeningly ogling at us.....EWWWWW!!!!
There was something,we laughed at....When the drunkard moved closer to Chandu.My heart stopped beating and began thumping.I’m basically very scared of Drunkards.......HE moved a little more closer.My heart thumped harder.HE came close to chandu’s ears and said “Saar....Miru navvite acham Prakash Raj lekane untaru”
Hahahahaa..............................
I have no clue of my reactions,some smiles within..just limited to me.More of cluelessness was about Chandu’s reactions...Should he be Happy for the compliment or be embarrassed or should he feel something else!Mast!Just cannot imagine forgetting this moment.

4)Ghajini
I had turned ghajini.I suddenly started forgetting things,completely blacked out.I was making so many bloody mistakes couldn’t count properly,couldn’t write properly,couldn’t think properly.Grrr.....It was not me,just not me.It was crunch time,last moment for the reports to be submitted when i made a mess with the cover pages.All the work was done again by Chandu and swear....I was blinded by tears of guilt!
He did not tell me anything,just nothing...just a soft touch spoke it all,spoke volumes!.
I was at the heights of forgetfulness and he at peaks of patience...Had it been some one else,they wouldn’t have spared me for any reason. You are really a gem of a person Chandu,atleast so far I’m concerened.:).Jiyo Jee Bhar ke!

At the closing note: Not that I’m being too generous with my words.....
He is really a nice person to be with. I have shared some of the lightest moments with him,shared some darker,and gloomy moments as well.It feels really great to be around him.. He is my friend first and then my CEO.:P

Sorry for keeping this post really long...but I believe, you are anyways worth it.

Hope your birthday blossoms into lots of dreams come true,
Hope that every candle on your cake you get a wonderful surprise,
May the years to come be filled with sunshine, smiles, laughter and love .
With tons of happiness, prosperity and success coming your way....i wish you a great birthday Chandu.:)))
Luv u tonzz!
