This week will be remembered for:
iPhone
iPhone
and
iPhone
Saw iPhone for the first time in my life. Marvellous.
Life is getting scary. Just two weeks left in college and unimaginable work pending. series, assignment, record, project...I don't know whether I will survive May 6th.
And to make it all worse I will be shifting during this time to Trivandrum (Dad transferred to Tvm. So we are going back to Tvm after 7 years. Back to the place where it all began. Had kept evading this transfer for the last four years but finally the inevitable has arrived.) This time it won't be any kidding in packing. It might be the greatest since we left Patna.
Let's see what happens to Roshan!

My blogging life is perhaps taking a new turn. This month I have recorded the maximum number of posts-7 till date, the highest in any month ever since I started blogging. Also there has been a few readers, something I never expected (and wanted) when I had started. I write these things only for me to read. The presence of readers may make me 'conscious'; hope that does not affect the content of my posts. Earlier I could write anything I wanted(Yes :) ). Hope I don't change that.
Trivia: I have discovered my most common typing error: I always type "anyhting" for "anything".
I am planning to post some mega articles soon. The titles would be:
*A brief journey through my life (Roshan: from Begusarai->Patna->Munnar->tvm->cgnr->ekm->tcr->back to ekm->pkd->...memorable moments in these places).
*My brother.
*My friends.
Don't know how much time I would take since busy days are ahead.
********************************************
It's one year since I have been placed in Cognizant Technology Solutions. On this day last year I was placed in this company, my first placement. The first "academic" recognition that I got in this college. Leave aside that, there is nothing else to prove that I have done the bare minimum in my studies here. CTS was a big relief for me coz as per me, chances of my getting placed were zero. Add to that the constant setbacks in my previous placement appearances. A recollection of what happened to me last year:
i-Flex: didnot make through aptitude.
Satyam: Kicked out of Interview. My fears started coming true. It wasn't that I couldn't but that my incompetence started surfacing
L&T: Kicked out of Interview. Underlined my fears. Now I really started doubting.
CTS: In; Had gone without any hope. I badly wanted to get in once I had seen their ppt. Marvellous! Trained...with passion!
TCS: Did Not Appear
Accenture: DNA
IBS: DNA
UST: DNA
Satyam: DNA
Infosys: In. I was more or less confident as well as carefree towards this one. Confident coz of my Infy visit. Carefree coz it didn't matter even if I failed.
Well, that was perhaps my last appearance for any job. I maynot appear for any more jobs, given my aggregate percentage.
Anyhow, I am content with what I have.
Don't know whether all these will matter ultimately in my life. But these were truly memorable moments, both failures and successes: they taught a lot!

Yes, iPhone is in town. Actually I am not supposed to disclose it, but the richest man has kept his word. When asked why he doesn't have a cell despite being the richest man, he would say that he would own one only if it is an iPhone and that soon he will be having one. Now he has a cellphone. And that too an iPhone!! 
He has not only proved that he wasn't bluffing but also underlined the fact that he is the richest man.N.B: Hereafter, the richest man can be contacted in the following number:9995488317And for reasons, if any, you would need his name, then his name isChalissery,Jaijo Jose Chalissery.(Read Bond, James Bond).

Miracles do happen.
Miracles do happen only to those who believe.
Oh Lord, for a long time I had trusted in you. You used to work wonders for me. No one used to believe me. They believed that I was bluffing. That all I had was the result of my hard work. No one knew that I never did anything to get anything that I had in my life. It was all You. You never let me down when I cried to you. Even if it was through impossibilities. Oh Lord will anyone believe that I hadn't learnt a large section of Maths for my 10th exam. That I had only 42/80 for my last model exam (not because I couldn't do well, but coz I hadn't learnt anything). That my eyes were filled with tears before my Maths exam thinking how I am going to write it. That I was the sole person who hadn't gone for tuition. That eventually Roshan was the topper in Maths. How come Lord? Do I myself believe this.
The moment I stepped aside, my life changed. I turned into nothing. You just reminded me that nothing that I have is mine. I lost reason to live. I constantly fell into trouble. I never cried for help. I never felt any pain. But you never let me sink.
Oh Lord, once again I have started feeling your love. Once again I can see wonders in my life. Oh god, suddenly my life is so better. Don't let me go even if I try to go astray. All I have is you. All I need is embrace you and feel the warmth of your love. Pls don't let me go this time. I have started feeling the happiness in life. I want to be here. I want to live this life. Oh Lord...you don't want to see a beautiful creation of you wasted, do you:)
Hold me tight, else I may run away.

1 Samuel 13
5 The Philistines assembled to fight Israel, with three thousand chariots, six thousand charioteers, and soldiers as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Micmash, east of Beth Aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that their situation was critical and that their army was hard pressed, they hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns. 7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead.
Israel Without Weapons
16 Saul and his son Jonathan and the men with them were staying in Gibeah in Benjamin, while the Philistines camped at Micmash. 17 Raiding parties went out from the Philistine camp in three detachments. One turned toward Ophrah in the vicinity of Shual, 18 another toward Beth Horon, and the third toward the borderland overlooking the Valley of Zeboim facing the desert.
19 Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!" 20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plowshares, mattocks, axes and sickles sharpened. 21 The price was two thirds of a shekel for sharpening plowshares and mattocks, and a third of a shekel for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.
22 So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
1 Samuel 14
1 One day Jonathan son of Saul said to the young man bearing his armor, "Come, let's go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side." But he did not tell his father.
2 Saul was staying on the outskirts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree in Migron. With him were about six hundred men, 3 among whom was Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was a son of Ichabod's brother Ahitub son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh. No one was aware that Jonathan had left.
4 On each side of the pass that Jonathan intended to cross to reach the Philistine outpost was a cliff; one was called Bozez, and the other Seneh. 5 One cliff stood to the north toward Micmash, the other to the south toward Geba.
6 Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, "Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised fellows. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few."
7 "Do all that you have in mind," his armor-bearer said. "Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul."
8 Jonathan said, "Come, then; we will cross over toward the men and let them see us. 9 If they say to us, 'Wait there until we come to you,' we will stay where we are and not go up to them. 10 But if they say, 'Come up to us,' we will climb up, because that will be our sign that the LORD has given them into our hands."
11 So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine outpost. "Look!" said the Philistines. "The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in." 12 The men of the outpost shouted to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, "Come up to us and we'll teach you a lesson." So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Climb up after me; the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel."
13 Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and killed behind him. 14 In that first attack Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed some twenty men in an area of about half an acre.
Israel Routs the Philistines
15 Then panic struck the whole army—those in the camp and field, and those in the outposts and raiding parties—and the ground shook. It was a panic sent by God.

In your eyes,
I can still see the look of someone who really loves me.
****************************************************************************************
Never show off. Sometimes you feel that you are wonderful and want to let others know that. Wait. Be patient. Let them discover it for themselves. It gives you greater joy.
Why is it that things I badly want come to touching distance, and just when I have clasped it...slip away from my hands? Why is it that things that I have never dreamed of come to me and say: "I am yours".And when I really start wanting it, it say to me: "No, you can't have me". When will it be that I will stop dreaming about things that are not mine. Accept that everything that I wish cannot be mine.
When will I learn that everything that we regard as precious donot have the value that we attach to it. That they remain desirable only upto the the moment we get it. Once it's ours, we find that it was pretty ordinary.
Oh God, You have created me as a beautiful creation of yours. Help me manifest the beauty of your creation in my life.
****************************************************************************************
You wouldn't love me as long as I am with you.
You wouldn't care for me as long as I value you.
But once I am gone, you will love me.
But then, I wouldn't love you either.
I am standing near you, hoping that you will stretch out your arms,
But you are waiting for me to hold your hands.
You want to talk,
But you are waiting for me to smile first.
Go on, treat me as much a stranger as you can,
Coz once I am gone, I wouldn't love you.
And then, please don't love me either.
