tITans UnPlugged
It is at the sight of Rahul 1220, all were stunned after returning from the boat ride. I was almost under immense shock to see him and his avatar. Everyone was so surprised to see him losing half of his weight compared to college days. Anyway after a while we were able to digest the scene and had tight hug with him out of emotions… Hmm,,, exiting the Lumbini park we planned to take a rick to reach Gachibowli. In an hour we reaached Anil’s flat and later Rajesh, Madan joined. Me and Pravin decided arrange things for the party that night and took the menu and went out. In a while Ravi and others too have brought some roti and dal, etc.. veg food. At around we all gathered on top terrace of the apartment. It was almost a gathering of 15 people that night and we all had fun. Apart from the way I behaved with Lakshman everything went really well and I have to censor the topic at the cost of everyone’s future. J Hope you all understand and somehow we recollected the memories and had a nice time. This brings the end of such lengthy day.
Next day morning, Rahul had to leave on some urgent work at office and left from flat at around 7:30 am. Then comes the entry of Mega Star of our class – none other than Sai who really took time in travelling all the night just for spending at least a day with us. We waited for him to arrive and as soon as he came, we all started off to Ocean park near Gandipet. Meanwhile me and Naidu planned to visit Infosys campus and so we went there and spent some half an hour. It was a nice feel being there in the campus looking at the greenery and maintenance.. hats off to the maintenance teams who spend day and night for making us feel happy to be there all the day.
At around 11:30 we all reached the ocean park and had nice time in the park. We played most of the water games and spent almost all the day till 4:00pm. Anil suggested to book a cab from there to Kacehguda so that we can be ontime reaching the station.
Altogether it has been of great fun being there after a long gap of 6 years. Going forward I wish we have this to be taken on serious note and ensure to have this unity in diversifed mentalities which will be of great memories for lifetime…
With this I sign off the episode

Titans @ Hyderabad
After I returned from Delaware, on a fine day while chatting with Rajesh we decided to plan a get together with all our classmates by end of 2008. He opted Goa as his choice. When I tried to find out what the rest of the group feel about this, we observed that Goa being on high alert always and that too end of year, we had no other choice to drop the idea. Later I thought of going for voting from everyone and decide on the place for meeting, and dropped a mail keeping everyone in the loop. Then started the celebrations of 2009 in the form of ovr whelming responses with anxious messages to see each other after almost 6 years. Of course the messages are available on IT forum@ http://www.sravisankar.com/. Warm message from Ramesh and Lakshman's message on his dedicated feelings for us, were the highlights. Also the confused single liners from Dinakar are still not clear. Hope Srikanth and Dinakar try to clarify themselves by end of 2009.
Episode on the train
Travel from Bangalore had some early drop outs of Suki and Sriram due to some critical assignments at work place. We missed them all the way.. but they had their vitual presence all the way, with statements like '' అసలు శ్రీరామ్ గాడు ఉంటెయ్ రా... జనాల చెవులు తుప్పు వదలు కొట్టే వాడు రా.. పచ్చి బూతులు తిట్టి దొబ్బే వాడు...'' '' సుకి గాడి గురించి చెప్పనక్కర్లేదు అనుకో;; నాయుడు గాడు సేఫ్ అయ్యాడు అనుకున్నారు అంతే" ... Anyway me, Ravi and Dinakar ended up travelling all the way from Bangalore. We had good entertainment as well. The train is full of college girls and entertaining from one side but at the same time I had my own personal issues in the morning... As expected the train reached on time by 8:20 am to Kacheguda station.
On MMTS
We decided to board the MMTS to reach Gachibowli and observed that there is a gap of 1 hour to board. So we went out and had nice brakfast and returned. As usual trains are always late and the local MMTS is late by 15 mins to arrive. We boarded the packed train and happened to stay almost one each other's foot. But the exploration on the names given to each place by Dinakar, say why is Bora Banda named so?, is it Pathan Cheru? or Pathaan Cheruvu? etc.. entertained a lot and we reached the destination in an hours time.
On reaching Gachibowli X croads, we rang Anil and he came with in 5 minutes to receive us. We finally reached the flat.
Athidhi Inn
It was almost 1:30 pm that we reached Athidhi Inn. I have opted Athidhi Inn as the better place for all the tITans to meet. Later we informed Rajesh and Madan to reach the place. Also tried Vicky and Rahul to check if they can join us for lunch. Rahul was busy all the day and did not even picked up the call. Vicky had some commitments at home and did not get chance to meet us. So, it is me, Ravi, Dinakar, Rajesh, Madan, Praveen, Satish, Anil, Naidu and Lakshman were there for lunch. Waiters took time to arrange the place for a round table lunch for us. Weather being hot outside, we all relaxed there having grand lunch, sharing a glass of their choice. It was 4:30 pm that we exited from the place.
Jala Vihar
After having such a heavy lunch we decided to visit Jala Vihar on Necklace Raod. By the time me and Praveen reached the Necklace Road, we observed some movie shooting with Varun Sandesh as hero and some glamorous actress a bus stop scene. We watched it for some 5 minutes and proceeded towards the destination. All of us walked into the place and roamed around for half an hour and played cricket in nets. We had fun playing the game and later found car game. Car game had 4 battery cars that run for 4 minutes. We all enjoyed it well. It was so exciting that everyone wanted to play it again and again. Highlight of this episode is when Paveen, Anil and Naidu went for try, a girl standing out stepped in and joined them in the game. She seemed to be very sportive in the game and entertained all of us watching her and of course dashed Naidu , Anil as many times as she can. :) :) :)
Lumbini Park
After such an excited game, everyone were at high voltage and decided to visit Lumbini Park on the other side of the necklace road. We had fresh lime soda there and entered the park. We took tickets for visiting Budha statue by riding on the boat. It was nice ride on the boat other than the disgusting smell all the way. We wondered at the beauty of the place and the craze with which people are coming to middle of the Hussain Sagar. The place will be much better if the water can be purified. I wish in next 5 years some solution will be found to purify the lake.
By the time we were about to return from Budha statue, Rahul has arrived at Lumbini and was waiting for us.
With this I will pause this blog as more exiciting episode is ahead of us....
