or .. veni vidi viblogged well, after a brief globe trotting to few places here and there, I had to go to where literally every other Indian IT employee goes. America. After spending most of my first 4 days here indoors I guess I am both qualified and bored enough to write this post. And […]

Well, thats exactly the type of news items I am reading / watching these days. Not that there is nothing else is happening in the world, for some obvious reasons most of the MSM have chosen to adopt the policy of selling the news instead of reporting the news. So, even PHD decides to celebrate […]

My date with a mall Indorians suddenly found a new hobby, “mall hopping”, thanks largely to the new mall ‘Treasure Island’.

Ladies and Gentlemen! There were final years. And then there were final years. Thanks largely to my course selection. I am spending most of my time on net reading everything and anything that catches my eye. First I thought why not blog on the items that I read. But then sharing news or views was […]

Even though looking like a secret password or a mission statement (well, sometimes mission statements look like that too) the title simply implies that I am moving to a new room after spending nearly an year in this place. This time to the chaos block, room number 320. This new room confirms the pet hypothesis […]

Travails of being a southie doesn’t start with a long name or end with an engineering degree. Till I came here my only worry is my long and historical sounding name. Ok, Lets talk about the name first. My name is (provided you dont disclose this valuable information to others), Duggirala Raja Raja Surya Chandra […]

lo… here comes the post on how I spent the last 10 days. Just one word to summerize it all. WONDERFUL. I spent the first 5 days of vacation with my fiancee. We both had great time together roaming in Indore and eating out. Then I left to my hometown machilipatnam. I reached my place […]

Well, upon looking at the three words Marcovian Queues, Arranged Marriage and Forefathers any sane person (Aah!, that excluded all the managers in the world :D) would say that they are totally unconnected.
