I had booked my ticket from gtl to hyd and had a w/l 3. It became a RAC and i had to share with another gentleman. I cannot sleep then, sleep deprievation is the most biggest punishment for any individual living or dead ;).

The train strated and i went and saw all the berths if there is any empty to go and have a sleep. I found one berth empty and informed the TTE that it is empty, he said it cannot be and had a tough argument and he gave up :) i am very good @ negotiation. I told him if someone comes and claims it i wud give the berth away. He atlast agreed (he thot he could make up some money).

It was fun to watch his face in public relenting after the tough fight, he was about to sell it to someone else for money and also another guy with a RAC number smaller than mine was also wanting some berth.

But somehow i managed to get it and sleep, and noone woke me up until the train reached kacheeguda.

I took the ric to kondapur and the auto guy did not know the road (or was he acting) and he made me pay 100 for kacheeguda to kondapur that was way expensive.

Came home and found the house to be locked !!

Asked the watchman to open the door and went for a second round of nap!! 

Granny expired

ajayg | 08 November, 2004 23:37

I think she was jus waiting to see me. I went in held her hands told her few comforting words and i went away to Tadipatri where another aunt of mine stays. Came back in the night . She called my name and was asking about her elder sister (yet another granny).

In the morning wee hours she was gasping for breath and atlast she struggled for breathing and she died peacefully as if nothing has happened. She died.

All her daughters (from near and far) came down to Guntakal to see her off with tears in their eyes. A mother is always a mother , you can never hate her!!

Came back in a sombre mood to hyderabad.

Off to Guntakal

Its been almost more than a decade I visited my aunts and uncles who are from the district. These people are the still traditional people who are in the townships. Both my dad and mom native is in the middle of rayalaseema, the spice of Andhrapradesh. Though I was born and brought up in Chennai. My mom had advised me to meet my granny who is sick. So I planned to go to Guntakal.

< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Guntakal is a town known as a big junction for the < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Bombay trains to Chennai. I remember how I used to come here and play with the kids. I learnt how to cycle for the first time in here. We used to come for our summer vacation and spend time with our granny and granddad.

 

I did not book the train, since my stay over the weekend was already in too many rounds of discussions. But I was determined to go. I was either to go to Delhi to conduct some interviews this week or not. So when my boss told me that I need not go this time, I said voila and started planning.

 

I had my train from kacheeguda to Gtl the Bangalore going train from hyderabad.  Its after a very long time I am traveling in the south bound trains (though I had been to hyderabad from Chennai 3 months ago). But after started working, I never went in a general ticket to any place.

 

I had my train @ 8.40 and until 7.15 I had a meeting with my boss, I asked him if he could drop me in the station. My boss and I have some similarities, he has my favourite car (Scorpio). I will tell you why I did not buy a scorpio in a diff episode, and its in dark green. My car is also green (same pinch boss!!).

 

The driver started to go and we asked him to drop me off to kacheeguda. Faced the reality of traffic in hyderabad. It took us almost all 1 hour to go to kacheeguda. I told my boss that he would have to drop me in kondapur if I don

Midnight briyani

ajayg | 08 November, 2004 23:12

It was pretty late in the evening when we left the office. We had some < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />US conference calls. My colleague Amit and I were very busy until the midnight and we left office at 1 am. I was feeling damn hungry, so we thought we will see how Hyderabad works and one another colleague informed me that I should try the Midnight briyani, if I need to have my dinner.

< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Well, we ask the cab driver, to drop us somewhere for dinner. Poor Chap!! He had been waiting for us from the evening L . Atleast, he had his dinner. So we went to all the places from panjagutta, ameerpet, paradise circle. It was past 1.15 so, none of them were open and being vegetarian is another bane where you cant eat haleem (meat). So atlast found a place called kausar caf

my roommate is gone

ajayg | 08 November, 2004 13:49

I tried calling up my roommate once i came in and found his mobile to be not reachable!!

Anyway, I woke up @ 10 and called him . He was in his excited stage and i asked him hey boss! what happened ? where r u ? he said i am in my friends place.

He also said that his friend wanted him to share the apt what he had already and so he thought he would move on!! i disliked his attitude , he did not even consult me before going away. Anyway, thank god good riddance, its better to know a person before rather than knowing him in long run and waiting for exit.

He is gone!! So i am still single. Anyone want to join?
