WHO OR WHAT IS...........
What is friendship ? Who is a friend ?
To say in my maths sir's style " 10 different people will give 11 different answerrs".. so difficult it is to define friendship.... Generally, a friend is someone who will quarrel with u for one whole hour for a silly reson... he is someone with whom u can talk upto 3 a.m in a hostel room... he is someone who understands u better... a person who can assure u "I am with u" .... who can wipe ur tears.... who can make you laugh when you are in distress... who can think your problems as his problem ... who can correct your mistakes...
And finally , he is one who can make fun of u when u write something like this.......... and say " mokka ... inime blog eludhina setha da nee"....
Thank u my dear friend.....

Note:FOR INDIANS ALONE
Tomorrow is not a holiday to be spent infront of tv sets ..... Tomorrow is a day when we should remember our leaders and recognize our freedom... If we are not independent , u and I cant sit infront of laptops like this... u and I cant message each other... who knows , even we could not talk to each other freely...
Think how independent we are today.... We are developing nuclear submarines and chandrayans.. we are producing sachins and rahmans... we are painting our tricolour in moon..... we are one among the G-20.... we found the asian games... India is influencing the world of cricket... ours is the only country where 440 million people select a government unanimously.... we are all set to be the world leader in several fields in the years to come....
Just think of... Who are responsible for these.... How many people would have lost their lives for us? How many people would have shunned their comfort and worked for the nation? How many people lost their jobs for the sake of the nation? How many soldiers have lost their lives while battling with the enemy troops in the wars with our neighbours? How many policemen have lost their lives in violence ?
We are living because of them.....
Let us just spend atleast five minutes in silence tomorrow, thinking of our leaders.... Let us always remember and say proudly that "I am an indian"!!! It is the way we can pay tribute to our motherland.....

TARGET I.A.S
August 13 , 2009.......
The day which ensured India a gold medal in 2012 Olympics..... The most unrecognised Indian lady M.C.Marykom would be jumping out of joy.... The 4-time women boxing world champion have to wait just three more years to bag an Olympic gold.... Her long wait has nearly come to an end,with the governing body of Olympic games finally agreeing to include women's boxing in Olympic games....
But the second happiest Indian on that day was this writer.....
My parents finally said a firm"yes" to my I.A.S dreams.....
The thought of taking up the u.p.s.c. exam flashed in my mind, in 2006 when I went to the colector's bungalow to receive a prize for some low-affair quiz competition.... His room,his power, his bungalow,his driver, the people waiting to meet him, all made me to think something new..... Then came 26,january,2007.... I was waiting in the gallery of the gandhi stadium in salem to see my mother receive the award for "The best teacher" for that year.... suddenly a car came...Everybody in the gallery stood up.. All the top government officials were waiting for that car..... I thought "one day i should be there"...
Since then, I am dreaming of that car and of that bungalow... I sincerely believe that I can clear the upsc, which is termed by Wikipedia as "the toughest competitive exams in the world".... the acceptance rate for upsc is 0.01% which means i have to be 1 in 10000.... All these stats never threatened me , since i know wat i am capable of......
But,the huge reluctance displayed by my parents bothered me a lot.... I can't deny the facts told by them till now... I too consistently said " I need job satisfaction... I need to take part in my people's upliftment"... Finally they have given up.... yesterday I was happy to hear " Go ahead"...
The only hurdle now is my desire..... my mind wavered a lot when I saw two things....
1. when i saw the notice board of placement cell in my college...
2.when i came across the news "I.A.S officers transferred"..
But, the only answer to all these questions and doubts is " Why should i lead a normal life?"
So M.C.Marykom will be saying "Come on 2012"...
And i can scream confidently and happily " Come on 2015"..

THE USUAL AND UNUSUAL
The first week of July sounded my entry into the second year of my college life... It started with several uncertainities looming over hostel admissions and results..... I arrived in Chennai on Sunday itself to avoid last minute rush..... Finally the hostel admissions were over by Tuesday, and the most unexpected and stunning results came by that afternoon....a 9.x again..... And i felt as if I were in a dream..... a multiplying factor of 1.09 and 1.07 in two subjects worked in my favor and the results did not take much out of me as I knew I got more than I deserved....... I felt really sorry for a couple of guys in my class who really should have scored higher...... I understood that the results are the most elusive things in the college..... Then the classes started , went on greatly , without any major twists until Friday morning... then came the most unexpected announcement to the shock of many..... It rocked the college almost and destroyed the aspirations of a few people ....... then as usual houseful canteens , congested "kutti sevuru" , long queues in atm and banks , rush in mess , midnight chats , mokka jokes , etc............

YOURS HOPEFULLY
INDIA,
25 june,09.
From
citizen,
middle class,
INDIA.
To
The prime minister,
Government of India.
Respected Sir,
Some 45 days back, I stood in a long queue to vote .... When i went to vote many a things flashed in my mind...... my son's education, increasing prices of commmodities, low interest rates for deposits,towering rates of petrol,gold.... my daughter's marriage...the candidates of ruling and opposition parties....the corruptive politics....a parliament filled with walking sticks and cash bags......the respect and response given to me in government offices...oops...nothing would change.... I took a decision not to vote for anybody.....
But by that time, I have come near the polling booth......I saw the government officials working sincerely and systematically,making good arrangements for the electIons....I saw physically challenged people and elderly people coming to vote.....I wondered what took them to the booths....Though some were bribed to vote, many people have come out for a cause... I thought of how the people had changed the fortunes of big leaders and big parties in the past.... as I have stood in the queue bearing the merciless sun for about an hour, I was reluctant to go back without registering my choice......so I pressed some button in the evm and went back...
Then results came.... I was happy that a stable government was ready to be formed with a non political and a highly educated person as its head....It surprised me when young ministers took oath.....and gave me some signals of a possible change in the near future........but....
Nothing has changed in the past fifty days..... except the ministers and the ministries....Though it is not possible to change things so quickly , your cabinet is capable of doing that.....Dont think I will forget ur election promises.....and in a cabinet comprising of 14 lawyers and 4 doctorate holders, of whom 9 were former chief ministers of states , you can never fail unless your government is power corrupted..... I am keenly watching you and your govt. everyday...... rather than my well being , it is my son s future which i am concentrating at.... I will expect the same from you too.... please dont turn into yet another politician....
THANKING YOU,
YOURS HOPEFULLY,
middle class citizen.
