MY SSB INTERVIEW @ JAN-04 FOR INDIAN ARMY..... [ PART- 2]

As I was standing near the door of my coach, my mind went back reeling to the words of my wisdom, the vision of my idol, My grandpa spoke ... Reminding me his words, never turn down, for who turn down is a loser and one who races through the troubles wins the race.. I've decided to run the race. Will i come back with cherishable memories, or will i come back the day it starts ??? it all was a mystery by that time. I went back to my seat and started to see the notes given by anandamurali. All the examples he had given. I knew it would be different. But the magnitude depends upon my fate i decided. And really enjoyed the travel that night... After the train went to the AP, a group of College guys from tibet gave company to me.. They were around 50-60 ppl. 6 of those guys were in my compartment. 4 of them were girls and 2 guys. we talked about the culture on each part and about their places of visit and about our professions too.. Luckily for me they too were happened to be engineers but from IT. And finally their destination arrived by the next morning around 10. We all exchanged our contacts...
This sunday @ Beach & my Guitar......

The first step is always the most difficult for anyone. Ask a child what is more difficult? Its first tottering step or the sprint it later got acclimatised to. I have for long been contemplating on this idea of learning the Guitar. But procrastination had always been one of my strong points. The point of action must come at some point of time. The sooner the better. My best friend gave me one of the best lines i keep musing over in the recent past. "Dirty your hands if you want to learn something". Atlast, i've started to learn guitar and can now play quite a few songs with it upto my level and presently mastering the first 3 strings in the first octaves...

Went to beach last night. This was the first time for me being in the beach at that late hours. Add to it with Murali driving all the way to the beach and back . Though we had a few close calls, we've managed to get back. I was overjoyed when i made all the way to the beach myself with my bike. Makes it all the more interesting. May be crazy if you know the way I drive. But then there are times for celebration. I wont call that exhilaration but a celebration all the same. Had been waiting for a long time for another such monumental moment to fall on me.

Getting back to the beach again but now a different location. Its near the Thiruvanmiyur .. Paalavakkam to be precise.. a really nice place to hang-out. We both went there about 6pm. Though few drops sent tremors, we've managed with our will and Enjoyed some moments together surfing along the shore . As i went for a bash standing bare footed with my trousers up, my mind began reeling up and down bringing the memories of past, Krishnaiyyer my grandpa whom i've been loving since my childhood... and then it got shifted again to SSB memories and how i've missed it and the moments that i missed in life.. and lot other.. as i was about to broke out, murali called me for a brisk walk as the night began to fall.... obviously he can't hold without colors within his vicinity particularly in darkness...


It all started by his idea of building a sand cone.. soon with my intrusion it got converted into a castle... And off we started collecting dry sands nearby and went on creating a castle with 3 storeys and we digged off about50mm for the puddle beneath and we built the bridge and constructed the walls around nicely... with murali's fine artwork, we also managed to carve man-hides and an final outer circle which altogether comes around a radius of about 1.5 meter... and atlast we've got a flag too to hoist @ the top of our castle.... after all that with hopes of photographing it, i switched on my mobile and found i could only c darkness around.. but we never gave up as murali brought his vehicle after great trouble and switched on his light to give illumination to the darkness around our castle... nope.. it never turned on even a single pixel in my camera.. ( later i regreted not trying in night mode.. :-[ ).. Atlast we decided to giveup. The fate did not stopped until we had to test our strengths by pushing his vehicle o'er the sand of time....... atlast we were back on road to home after a nice dinner @ sangeetha, we came back home.. another hell of a night started with tunes of my Guitar....

Now all those friends who have lent me some very nice moments to enjoy in the past couple of years are now were nowhere in sight of me....

Pedestrial as it may seem, it is the dawning of a new era in the life of so many guys. Guys who always thought their future was bleak now have their own space to breath. This feeling comes to everyone at some point of their life time or the other. The feeling that you are not a no-good. you too got something in you. For me personally it dawned some five years ago. There sure would have been some who would have enjoyed that moment today or atleast within the past month.

Hoping to continue soon. C u guys.....
