Android is awesome

I'm still proud of the days backing to June2008 working on android images as the source is still not out.
And developing an ui to test our hacky requests.
I was Damn sure we will c more androids than the count of all other oses totaled.
One of my mate used to say he don't like the androids ui. He was working for some java based feature phones back then. M sure he must have moved to a starter android long back.
After 4 years if it's debut I brought my first android. My Samsung Gnex.  What a great evolution so far every update I'd nothing less than awesome. Staying aged of the technology. The integration of services.
This new swipe keyboard in android is sure keeping English for getting rotten worst.

The strong mind finally suffers

It took more than half an year to realize the pain and start feeling it. Thanks to my strong mind for being able to live normally through ask these sickening days. Finally it has given up. Couldn't take it any more. This is the 2nd continua morning that I woke up in the middle of night. There are riddles going inside my brain n they won't stop. They keep riddling no matter what I do. Especially when u cannot sleep in the lonely, dark and silent times you start hearing the voices inside fighting each other.
Yes, it's my decision to take up the game may be I will spoil the fun, hurt myself and I may finally die. Fine support me through those tough times, show me your love. But, Don't ask me to step back now cause it's gonna hurt me.
You have taken us through so many of those bad times. V r what we are cause we have gone through all that and we are proud of us.
PS. It's too late to step back n move on.
Yes, I pulled u in n I shall take u pass through this mess. May be it's not a cake walk so, please bear with me. I know u will.

I feel relieved. Better than an hour ago. Let me get some sleep.

Gnex: Hit by Nilam cyclone

Nilam is a cyclone hit Tamilnadu, A.P coast a couple of days after Sandy hit East coast of US.

I'm in Bangalore 360kms from nearest coast.
May be a Chaos but, i'm hit a little bit aswell.

My Gnex drank or was soaked a little in the humid and its ears and mouth (mic, earphone and speaker)
bleeds to work and it shows charging even when not plugged.

Keeping it for a sleep in warm draw for a couple of hours, hope it helps.

who cares about what i hate and what i not ??

Ist US trip

First step on US soil is at Sanfransisco Bay for Chrome development at Google MTV.

The trip was so emberrasing or annoying or boaring or anything as bad.
Summers in here are so hot and bright.

Staying in US was never my dream, visiting US and confirming myself that
"yes, this is'nt the right place for me" was, This trip did exactly the same.

One thing i like in US lifestyle is
"they work to make more free time, as we work more time to make some money"

May b the evolution and lifestyle is perfect for them, for other there is no real need to fly away for those comforts. (I wish our govt is more public friendly)

Especially, i dont agree with taking our next generation there. I'm sure their next generation will have nothing from us.  Its just an errosion of our everything in just a couple of generations.

The best part of this trip was My brothers place.

My Brothers Place

Visited my brother and his family on my visit to SanFransisco.

Such a nice family, brother is so cool and none can match him more than Shanthi vadina.
Kids are so cool..
Give time to Anika and u can never miss her.
and Aditi has a blend of traditional and western girl.

If not for them, The US trip would ve been boaring.
They made me feel at home.
The weekend movie nights were the best part of the trip.
(Watch 3 with family over a weekend night and watch a funny movie to compensate for the pain)

I had more memories for those 4 weekends.

On the day of USA Visa B1/B2 inteview

Sponsored by SISO (Samsung) for Cxxxme Project.

7am Flight to Chennai, 11am slot. 

Do not carry anything big or Iron to the consulate.  Be casual and confident.

Make sure u look like u dont give a dime for USA.

By 12, Interview is done. 

Chennai is super hot, i mean the weather its burning sun up there.

Shadow and water is all i was looking for.

Restless for a week or so, In dire need of sleep. 

Slept n missed to get down from a city bus.

Slept on a bench in Express Avenue a huge Shopping mall.

Wanted to visit a beach, spend a while in nearest marina beach.

Wanted to try something in Saravana bhavan. Took a Panner Dosa, Its truely delicious.

Return flight delayed by  40mins. Got back to my room by 12.30.  

The 5th bussiness trip

Lately, weekends and holidays makes no sense to me n all of our team members.
Day is a taxi that takes us to the office n night brings us back to bed.
Every other day is a deadline, every task we do is higly critical.

Highlights
1. Won a few dollors at Over night Roullete at Seven Luck Casino @ Gagnam with Abhinav.
2. A little more learning

Lowlights,
1. Missed my Best friends birthday, one day we really wanted to celebrate.
2. Hikes for 2012-13 were releaved, Just enough to catch up with the hiking goods and petrol prices.

This is one such unsuccesful over sea trip. Yet i like it.
What are the good ones if you ve not seen the bad ones.

Our return flight is delayed, due to the bad weather,
Vivek and me waiting at Incheon Airport.
Wish us a safe journey. 

Drive to the beach - 1

Andhra Pradesh has the longest coastline in India, yet, unfortunately no famous beaches.
The ones closer to our place are Narsapuram and Antirvedi.


This time, with Babji (Mavaya), Teju, Monu. 4 members on 2 bikes
Tanuku to Antirvedi (Where Godavari meets Arabian sea) about 60kms drive.
To cut it short we took a ferry to cross the Godavari from West side to reach Antirvedi.


The play was short, no much audience out there.
The best part was bike drive in the evening on beach sand to reach  "Ana chellela gattu"
Exact location where Godavari merges into the sea.

Funny part was "There were lots n lots of crabs all over the sea shore", i think its their season to yield.

Had some famous biryani on the way back home.

As a day, moments I enjoyed it.

Snow Boarding

I love to play with snow my childhood. Who doesn't..

Its the thrilling sport i always wanted to try.
Speeding down the slopes, swinging in the cold breezes.



From tieing up the board till you finish the last round, standing all the time
Its a pain full event for the beginners.

Standing with your feet tied to a 4 feel board which starts sliding on the soft snow the moment ur foot puts some effort. If you managed to stand up.  We need to balance ourselves instantly or else we on are back on our butts and it hurts.
 
But once you start getting the balance and get to do some flips and tricks.
Thats when the fun begins.

I've been doing it since my first winter in S.Korea.


1st time in 2010 winter, i was a beginner, i must've fell down on my butt a 20times to complete one slope which took 25mins, (which now takes < 2mins)

2nd time 2011 Jan, This time i took some Cusion pads. It was the best so far.

On 23rd jan 2012 its my 3rd day @ Jisan resort.
I had some awefull experiences this time.
Fell down badly, almost lost consiousness for a couple of moments.
Hurt my neck and head. Caught cold and fever.

I'm ok right now. When Mr.Bang asked me to Ski on Friday, i couldnt say yes.
But, sure in my next trip.

Note: Its that kindaa Pain that worths the fun
