Last year i went to the eastern countries for summer. Didn't go anywhere else after that due to hectic schedules and wierd timings. JUST before my holidays end, I am going down south on a vacation. This time there are no adventure sports, No dust free nations but a nice feeling of visiting my own state and seeing places. There are good locations for photography, fun, enjoyment, and worship.
And the best is that this time i am not going alone, but going with my mom. I am glad to an extent that my mobile is not working(wish even mom's incoming would not work). I am yet to pack and get ready, so typical of me that i pack perfectly when i do it late. :P

Poker Again
Well, not quite sure if i am going to make chips to fill my pocket. But yeah i d love to make money!
After a session of poker with Sound, there were a few technical things that i needed to know.. including some strategies of the game.
Being sick and down with sunstroke, i was up all night and am nocturnal now. So that day, Yogaesh was online and he told me the WHOLE thing and at the end i was left with a saying
"telisae varaku brahma vidya, telisinaaka kothi vidhya" (till u know about it, it is something complicated as creation, once u know it, it is as silly as a monkey's play)
And after that, i have not played poker because of the sunstroke, and now because i am going on a vacation

Poke!
As per my decision, i played poker. And understood it well enough. Thanks to Soundarya, we played in the private table. Just the two of us. We won, we lost. Finally we understood the game. Yet to understand the bluff part of it.
As per our decision, we should winn over 100 K chips soon

Poker!
For the past three or four weeks, i have been trying to figure out on how to play poker. I ve been listening soo much about poker. So i decided to start playing. a few of my good friends in facebook sent me an invitation. Firstly it took me time to search for my userid and password of facebook. Then search for the poker application invitation amidst a thousands of invitations for useless quizzes. Then, after searching for it, it took me about three days for the application to get loaded.(it is still not actually loaded in my profile).
The first time, Sridhar came in and played with me. we were having gtalk on. So i could ask him my doubts and get them clarified(?!). Anyways, i did not understand the game. when i was trying to figure out what to do, i clicked on some button and it was my turn by then. All the chips went in for bidding. "All in? Are u crazy?" "What? what happened?" not realising what happened, at that moment, i went to check out how the game is played. Yes, i went there again inspite of not understanding it reading the first time. This has been the firrst game for which i had to go back to the instructions. most of the games, i directly start playing and very few i read the instructions before going in. ohk. so i went back to the instructions in the middle of the game. then, he says wow!. not knowing why i go there back to the table to figure out what happened. i saw that there were more chips than what i had before starting the game because i won. That game, i did not even look into my cards. This game was somewhere at 10 or 11 at night, when i was interested in knowing what is so interesting in the game that so many people are crazy.
Then, sridhar went away saying that it was the table with serious players, and as a rookie, i should not have gone there first. 9K chips is what i won. Sheer fluke!
then, i played about twice there. i won and lost. still could not figure out the game. Then, once i again won in fluke. i went back to sridhar and said " ive won 10 K chips. but i dont understand the game yet." sridhar: " i ve won 100K chips and i dont understand it either" (EKSI)
Then yesterday, when mom was busy doing some work, i happened to switch on the TV (something so rare), and started seeing friends. it was an episode where the girls figure out on how to play poker. Mom was so busy that i could not have the volume loud enough to listen the dialogues. but still i could figure out that the girls went trhough a struggle to "apparently" win the game. WHY is it that poker is not all that easy for women or girls?Some curse that i dont get to listen or read the instructions properly at all. (GRRRR)
Then, today, i pinged a friend of mine(soundarya) who has earned 26K chips. She has almost the same problem as i have. So she searched out a really old chat conversation of a friend who tried to teach her. Well, i am now done with reading that and have understood that. Only hoping that girl power wins over poker too.

Baba ka Updesh
before i start, i would like to introduce who this baba actually is. He is a person who has been living for about 400000 years. And in this time gap has aqcuired a lot of knowledge in many fields. He was first my Bhaya (Anna/elder bro). This baba has many bhakthas. He aqcuired his gnyaan praapthi in the Himalayas. but then after he started showing his babapann, and seeing my bachapann, he has adopted me as his great grand daughter. Now presenting to you an updesh that i just got from him :
I pinged my baba,(click here to see his pic) to ask him how to help my self in this sever fever. He gave me a solution (no not a potion wala solution. But some idea to solve this problem).
When i thanked him, he said this :
"One day a man having conversation with god when his whole life flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time. He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints. He asked god "You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??" To which god answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times in your life, I was carrying you"
not understanding the appearance of the story here, i asked him again and again why he told me that story
"u need not understand
when things flash in front of ur eye u will understand"
in a few milliseconds, i began thinking of some things that i had abandoned because of falling ill out of doing all of them exceeding my elastic limit. Then he again quoted a line to remind me why and how i fell ill
baba:Another day I was having a similar conversation with my Project Manager (PM) when my whole project flashed before my eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time. I saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult times in the project there were only one set of footprints. I asked my PM, "You said you will be with me throughout the project, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of the project??" to which my PM answered, "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you... you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times I was "sitting on your head!!!"
WHO is the project manager will be a secret to the readers. But I have understood who that person is...
Baba ki jai :P

MOTHER'S LOVE
There have been many times when I got angry when I was subject to doing things said by mom which carried a major portion of discipline and grooming and which only seemed like an attempt to trouble me. Yet I did all that I was made to (I dint budge easily though)
This grooming took its own sweet time to show results. But deep within I knew that her intentions were only to see me doing well in just anything I take up. It has taken me almost the entire teenage to realize this. There are many people who don’t want their teenage to cease. But I accept changes in life gladly, and am ready for what life has in store for me.
Going on retrospections is a usual habit of mine. I go back and see what I have learnt, what I still have to learn, what I have to change, and many things. Many times I end the session feeling low about the instances I chose to retrospect. But this one has been a pleasure with all the things I have achieved out of being the daughter of Mrs. Sowmya Chandramouli.
I mark my presence as a smart one in the group, and always have a special place in the heart of the parents of all my friends. Courtesy: politeness and good manners shown to them
As a friend, I am liked by many people. As for the people who don’t like me, I don’t care. I don’t take the effort to return the hatred back. But I cherish the love and bondage of friendship that I have with all my friends. And the ones I call friends are genuine people whom I can depend on, and I would love to be with them during their good and bad times and give them my love (there is no return here. It is unconditional love from me). One aspect I find that friends like about me is that I don’t talk about issues of other people in gossip sessions. I value the secret of my friends’ more than my own. Courtesy: love the ones whom you love, also love the ones who hate you. 2 expect things that you are sure you can give them.
There have been many times when I felt life dumps me. When I ve been snatched of opportunities and lose all hopes to survive and carry on. There have been many talents that people dint want to recognize in me. (chauvinists to put in short) I fought out all that and today, in many places, she is known as Amritha’s mother. Perhaps this is a return, rather a token of love for her support all the times. Courtesy: a fighting spree initiated by her in me
There are a million things that I should actually key down here. But there are these few things that can actually fit in my page here. Today, when I see myself, I don’t feel like a loser as I used to feel many times. I have won in many places. The love my mother has towards me can be said in this story here. She told me this story as what type of a mother she wanted to be and her attempts to see that I am successful and happy all through mylife.
An eagle mother always lays her eggs on high cliffs at the very edge. When the egg hatches, the chick falls down with an inertia and in an attempt to save itself it starts flying before it comes really down to touch the earth. Hence the eagle always lives high up in the sky. All the times where I felt hard to manage were only the times where I struggled to flap the wings of survival, in due course, I am flying up the skies, seeing new dimensions of life. But this mother stood by me to see me flap my wings well and fly off. It is not time for mother’s day now, or the day where my teenage is going to end. But it is the day when I realize that amma has been an eagle mother to see me fly high.

an atmosphere that can heal
Today I went to the clinic of a doctor for my mom. There, I was waiting for quite some time. The area was unique and every part of the wall was interesting, and I dint realise how long we waited to meet the doc.
we went in, and saw the doc. well my mom did the talking for herself, I was rather looking at the walls, and the ambience and the decor of his room, his chair and his workspace.
it was a LARGE table with a PC, and a wireless mouse, clean table with few papers, and the walls well painted and royally bearing all his certificates; An air conditioner just behind him, a white bard to explain his patients about their problem with diagram of the anatomy.
when I was done with watching all this within a span of few seconds, I realised that he already finished his job effectively with his patient. Before he ended, he did the needful, typed what was needed, and printed it himself.
by then I was reluctant to leave the workspace which was so very wellmade. But the atmosphere of the clinic did its good even to me. I have been having hectic schedules over the week, and havent been able to my own work well, and was in fatigue till I went there. once I came out, I got fresh, and got charged with all the zeal to do million things under the sky.
this place is so very inspiring. after we came out, i observed that the doctor's residence was adjacent. it was big bungalow with a portigo and a few luxury cars. that atmosphere with a humble service to the patients surely did pay back.
when i start working, i am going to make sure that my workplace is appealing for people to work.
