I have been blogging on this platform since April 2008 and this has given me a very good exposure. I loved the blogger platform. But, in life, change is inevitable.
I have been thinking about word press since a month and i was just excited by its features and the ease for blogging. So i moved myself to the wordpress family. And I heartfully thank blogger for turning me into a blogaholic.
After a long time, my dream of writing a Telugu blog is finally done. I was in a dilemma to start it bcoz of my hectic schedule(:P). But starting something that you like the most makes the difficulties so small that you really don't care about them. So from this time, I am writing here as well as in my Telugu blog.
Once up on a time, there was a placement drive in a reputed private university in the beautiful city of Vizag. The placement drive was conducted by a very well known and established company that makes you experience Certainty. They were very certain in what they want from this college. They did things as per their plan and recruited 151 students. These 151 students were on Cloud 99 as they got into a world class company. Adding to it, they were overjoyed to the thought that they are going to experience certainty, ever experienced by them, in the near future.
Days passed on and the students in the campus slowly started to forget that 151 were recruited into Certainty. Then came a mail from the Certainty congratulating them and sending them their first ever offer letter. They were once again celebrations in the campus and every one talked about it. Days passed on and again there was dead silence from Certainty. On the other side, people started to get into What’s on your mind, Applying Thought, Powered by Intellectuals, High performances delivered, Technology that touches lives and the like. And the 151 were completely forgotten who were once cherished. They rarely showed up anything. But, deep in heart, they were certain that there is something coming for them.
Yes, indeed it came true one day. They got Background Verification Forms and once again 151 were in limelight. Campus started to talk about the latest news and speculations started to spread like fire. But this time too, it did not last long and was flushed with the entry of Rescission, which was even talked by the guards at the campus gate. No more did the campus was visited by companies nor did the mails or news from Certainty. Students started to get busy with the exams and once again no one talked about anything.
Then came the For the people* into limelight with its notifications in newspapers every now and then. Students started to run to fill in the applications and post them as soon as possible. And to everyone surprise the 151 and the students who were into Thought, Mind, Intellectual and the like also applied to For the people. The campus was awe struck by the step they took. Everyone talked about everyone.
And to the worse, 151 were sent no info from Certainty, but the rest who got into Thoughts, Mind and the like started to get goodies, offer letters, on campus sessions and the like. 151 were felt alone in their very own campus. Confusion and fear surrounded them. No one talked about Certainty nor did Certainty talked with 151. Finally, the day has come when 151 successfully completed the studies and were out into the real world. They were very excited and interested to experience the World of Certainty.
But something was written for them. Months passed on but Certainty did not talk with them. They were frightened and upon contacting those who got into Certainty, 151 came to a conclusion that everyone was same like this. Everyone has the same feelings.
On one day this silence was broken. Certainty started to appear in TV’s giving interviews with business experts and everyone was on their feet. The silence was broken in such a way that speculations were on all time high, like riding on a bull, and spreading like forest fires.
And on one fine morning, magic happened in everyone’s inboxes. They got a mail from Certainty after ages and everyone was excited about the intake, when and where. Celebrations every where. The news of first batch joining in coming 2 weeks added to these celebrations. But these did not last long.
As a matter of fact this also created speculations to the maximum possible range. Most of the people were unaware of their joining dates and there was chaos everywhere. Certainty uploaded a revised offer letter reducing 6000 from monthly pay during training. But 151 were keeping their fingers crossed as the very own news of intake of first batch made this pay news so small that no one really cared about it. They were asked to download fro the Certainty site.
Here comes the Certainty certainness. It does not open and incase if it opens it takes a long time. In case if all is going well, there are problems downloading the offer letter. Chaos and confusion everywhere.
Finally, Certainty has put up “System overloaded. Try later”. At least certain they were to some extent.
Let’s see how much certain it will be in the coming months. And after passing these many months, I as one of the 151 still question myself, “Are they really certain on what they are up to?”
P.S. But at the least, I hope that they don’t put up “Certainty overloaded. Try later”. What I can do is Keep my fingers crossed and pray to God to give Certainty to my life. (The feelings of 151 mentioned here reflects how most of the 151 felt, and I did not feel like this! Infact I felt nothing.)

Well, I have been travelling continuously for the past one month with no time to ping here. You might ask me “What are you doing? Are you that busy?”
The answer is simple and I am doing nothing. Yup! Completely nothing.
There’s nothing left in my wallet to spend, nothing more to shop after looting Fashion Street, nothing more to read from the books I brought in CST, nothing to hear after long chit chats with my sis, nothing left to travel after 5 days of complete exhaustive roaming on the busy streets of Mumbai, nothing seems to be fun left after visiting Essel World, nothing seems to be spiritual after visiting Siddhi Vinayak, nothing seems to be taller after staying for 15 days on the 11th floor of 15 yr old building, nothing left to think that I knew all after visiting IITMumbai, nothing left to make me believe that I am brave after observing Mumbaikars carry their routine, nothing left for me to sit in the locals at 11:30 pm while returning to home, nothing left in me after getting ill for 3 days, nothing more left to know about Swine Flu and absolutely nothing I am going to get out of these things.
But there’s something I learnt, “there’s always something that you can learn from this nothing”. I learnt how to bargain and to spend money. I learnt that book reading gives me ultimate enjoyment. I learnt how to cross the busy roads with overloaded shopping bags all over me. I learnt how to get along in a tourist places without any means of extra pay (In tourist spot, people usually get cheated by the auto-walas and cab drivers). I learnt how to hold my breath to the most exciting rides of Essel World. I learnt how to get on to the board of overcrowded local trains of Mumbai. I learnt why people are mad about IIT, after visiting it. I learnt to be brave after watching Mumbaikars (They have experienced 1993 blasts, local train bomb blasts, floods, 26/11 terrorists attacks and the recent Swine flu attack. I bet you sure that you can not even find a bit of terror in them. They stand and face together in these situations. I am proud to be a temporary Mumbaikar. Of course, only 15 days :P). I learnt that life is filled with emotions, excitement, sentiment, friendship, shopping, playing, crying, crossing the hurdles that come in your way (it’s as simple as crossing a street in Mumbai), observing others, understanding yourself, enjoying each and every second of the way you live the life.
Finally, I understood that nothing is something that makes you learn that there is always something that you can learn from this nothing.
P.S. Well, you might be in a confused state after reading this. But read it again, I won’t assure that you can understand, but I assure you will definitely get fixed that you are confused on what I was trying to say. The fact is thatI was saying nothing.
This is my personal blog. I blog about the experiences in my life, my interests and my thoughts about everything I come across. I also write about others whom I have met. I'm not responsible for any content that hurts you.
