IPL - Indian Power League

She was very nervous. With exams starting tomorrow, she opened the book to study.
And the Power went off.
She slammed the books completely irritated.
She looked out of the window as she heard the cheers outside. 

Stadium near her house was all lit with IPL match in progress, as she stood in the darkness.

Such a shame that our country has its priorities all wrong...we keep feeding the rich with all they want and depriving the basic necessities to all...

I was stuck in traffic a few days back for 2 hours due to IPL...i made the mistake of not finding out about the matches before I ventured out of my office to home

Twins!!

This is one of the most standard conversations that I’ve had with a new person (NP). Soundarya – Hi, I am Soundarya. NP – Hi. I am so-so. Soundarya – How are you? NP – Am good. You? What do you do? …. …. NP – You’ve Siblings? Soundarya – Yes, 2 Brothers. NP – Elder? Soundarya – 1 elder and another Twin. NP –Whaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt??? :o Soundarya – Yeah. I’ve a twin brother. NP – Do you look alike? Who’s elder? What’s he doing? How come he’s far away? I heard twins have same kind of feelings and that they are very close and inseparable.Do you both like same kind of food? Do you both wear same color clothes?and the list of questions goes on and on..… Well I have sort of condensed this conversation. It always amuses me to see the reaction the new person always gives when he/she comes to know that I am a twin. And the kind of questions they ask is dubious. Each time As I answer them and tell them we are just like any other brother-sister, the d...

The First Few Days In Cognizant

So Finally I joined Cognizant!! *Cheers* *Claps* *Laughs* Thank You, Thank You!!! :) I know for long time that I’ve been telling people that I’ll be joining Cognizant, but then I myself didn’t have any clue as to when! And now two weeks have passed. So how has been my time there?? Well …Really good… Lots of things have been happening. First and foremost is my laziness vanishing!! One year of vettiness(joblessness) has made me more than ever lazy(more lazy than I was before: :P). So now I have a nice schedule which keeps me busy! Secondly I have been meeting new people. I’ve to say that all the people in my batch are really friendly and nice. All of us are students of 2008 passed out batches but then seem like still college student! So we all are experiencing this transformation of college to corporate environment. Well cognizant campus itself is pretty good. Have been to two places and liked it. The environment and atmosphere and the p...

In the End, We all are same

W ho am I? Who are you? Who are the people surrounding us? When I say people, I mean parents, relatives, friends, crowd in the bus you travel, or the shopkeeper from whom you buy your dresses, or the maid who comes to your house etc. This is not a philosophical question or anything to do with philosophy. Of late, this question has been in my mind after observing a few things. Oh yes, I’ve been so jobless that I actually have started observing things ;) We all are so engrossed in our work, personal commitments, social life etc that we tend to overlook simple things in life. The purpose of life!! The other day, I was talking to my brother in Skype and my grandfather came. When he saw my brother in computer screen, he became so happy. As he cannot hear properly he’s not able to converse with any one in phone and seeing my brother like this made him so happy. He, like a small kid, told every one who came to ou...
