Guest appearance:
Adarsha :-) i will tell you why down the line....
It all started just 25 days back. i mean everything right from engagement to marriage sounds impossible right????
even i wonder how can this happen at such a faster pace... for me it is like "gone in 60 seconds".....
So it was 3rd Aug 2010 12 noon when i received a mail from dhana saying
"Titled: Success..."
"Sub:
Finally done.... to know more about this, wait till 2 O Clock.... :):):) "
I just ignored this mail thought some accomplishment in his project, but later came a news to have a sweets from his desk... So thought that there is something happening and i have to get into action, went to his desk found him in his regular business (his alltime and bigtime business Attending phone calls"
Brief flashback about him,, he is well known as "call centre" and his mode of service is both Voice and non-voice (i.e mobile & gmail sometimes mysingle also" He got nice punishment for this things when he was in korea onsite few months back he was called back from the tour(korea onsite) because he was retired hurt(broke down his wrist saw some severe pain)... also few days back he took a new bike within 4-5 days he had very minor accident because of which his left arm was fractured and tied bandage for more than 45 days,
(Snap shot of fractured Subba :-) )
Thank God he temporarily stopped Non-voice service and started going invisible in gtalk ;-).. dabba nan maga, i sometimes i spotted him chatting with single hand also... "astu illade helidara : nayi baala donku.. anta"
So coming back to Aug 3rd topic,, the news broke up when he finally hung up from his phone.
he said Today is my engagement.. i got schocked.. ur home town is around 700kms away from where you are standing right now, and how come you got engaged...
But the truth was engagement is going on in his hometown in absence of both the lead characters. Very strange...
And when i ask him abt his marriage, there was a big surprise for me. 27th Aug that means 25 days from now i will be a married guy..
what should i say is it Exiting/horrifying/ i dono, I dont have any words to explain this...
anyway this is subbu's personal thing, i cant say anything on this, i can only raise my eyebrows with my mouth open wish him Congrats....
2 weeks before:
Subbu travelled to Singapore for local trip on his expense for 2 days... i know those who really don't know really what happened it sounds really really weird and curious to know how the ___ can he go abroad.. cant he go after a week with his wife.. But it was all decided 2-3 months back where they booked a flight callled tiger airways which costs abt 15K both onward n return journey, and the major deal Free accommodation & food (ideally) and you just have to bare the transportation cost. thats how the trip was planned unfortunately his cunning manager did not allow him to go for a pre planned and pre informed tour of 1 week, he could just manage to see singapore in hurry-bury
See how simple is abroad trip, one has to learn from him, i always use to wonder seeing people at airport carrying a simple back pack with hardly few sets of clothes and travelling abroad... But subbu has done it..
So he is back from singapore and straight into office sitting and fixing issues with just couple of days left for marriage, when we asked him, "whats the urgency maga, marriage is on friday i will leave 1 day before marriage, and that is enough"..
meanwhile he booked the tickets for our journey..
I was schocked to see the tickets to see the price. 800 + 970 = around 1800Rs,
wow if we collect and pay the same money to him, he can as well purchase a fridge and stay cooool...
probably thats why our boys dint even bother to even think about the presentation Gift....
Luckily Our dhana tried and booked a train tatkal ticket which saved atleast 600/- per head..
we got only for return journey.... Big thanks to dhanaraj for saving my money...
27th aug Friday.
His marriage is going on at his place and we left here at night to attend his reception only on 28th afternoon..
Reception in afternoon!!!!!!!! i have heard it for first time... who cares, after all its subbus marriage at his home town. he gets to decide when it should be.
We left here at 7.30PM having light food at DRDO canteen except partha who boarded the bus at majestic itself and we at tin-factory.
When i told you Light food Dhanaraj is an exception and against this word. it should be always dark(i.e heavy) for him. So he had a hope that bus would stop in between for dinner.
But bad luck, bus did not stop at all. and when it stopped he dint wake up, it was 12.30Am and there was no food available apart from chips n biscuits only..
We had a food and madhu started crying from BTP back gate itself, do i need to walk till tin factory!!!!!! lets take an auto.. so dhana convinced him saying first we will have food then we will see. but by the time we had food it was late and bus left majestic.
So we dint think much and took a auto to tin factory, reached in 3-4 min.
So the journey went.. Early morning it was Exactly 6.Am and we were in ongole. so that was where we were suppose to get down and catch a local bus to vinukonda..
we all came out and partha noticed that there is a bur ready standing for us and it would leave on 6.45AM so we still had 45 min to spare. we were luclky enough to get a bus immediately otherwise we dont know how long we had to weight..
As soon as we got down we could feel the little humid climate of andhra.
"where the climate doesn't matter... but the hot air and sweat will always be with you"...w.r.t my past trip experience to Nandyal that too in summer...
So we got little freshen up and boarded the bus it took 3 hours to reach the destination.
I Enjoyed the journey as well as Dhanaraj with his camera... dabba nan maga.. (he took one more snap which was not good at all so i waited for good moment and deleted it. Thanks god that was the worst photo i can think :-P)
on the way to vinukonda, we got the nice view of village and crowded bus(which i had not seen frm past few years) totally country side..
We reached the place and called up subbu and he said something something like "nageshwara rao hotel". so we waited for some time and one guy came to us and told lets to hotel.. BTW he introduced himself as nageshwar rao.. :-)
Room was just some 100mtr frm bus stand we went by walk but there was one fellow who was telling lets take auto how to walk... so we went to room and had bath me mirza and partha were ready early whereas dhanaraj was forced to take bath at last due to his past records.
We dint had breakfast till now and it was already 11.30 am, thank god nageshwar rao came to room and asked if any one is ready to go to subu's house there is breakfast waiting for us, we dint wait much time and rushed to his home..
we crossed the other side of main road and took a small road which had small streets, one observation i found was all sites were around 20 X 50 sized sites, I didnot understand this logic, Are sites too costly or ppl dont want to live else where in town. Anyways Subbu gave us a warm welcome to us as soon as we entered house.. later we Had a nice breakfast which was must after a long journey.
Spent some time with him then later left to hotel back to get ready for Recieption which is suppose to start by 12PM..
By 12.30 nageshwar rao took us to the location in auto till choultry, meanwhile the only person who did not had break fast was dhanaraj.
we reached the hall and saw very few ppl, it seemed like subbu is arrangind this function only for us, but after few min we found out that everybody is having lunch upstairs :-), Anyway lets see how was the hall decorated.
It was not so big hall but good enough to accomodate 150 ppl atleast. there was a small stage where there was a wodden swinging chair.
And the rest of hall was fully filled with flowers, note all artificial pots flowers garlands etc. But still the ambience will look good when it comes in photos or video. :-) so thats the ultimate aim, its not just the problem here, but whole of india has such problem and it is inevitable.
Ok criticizm apart, Here enters Subbu with his wife to room,, we all rushed to see how is subbu looking..
And in between there is a commercial ad by our creative photographer .
So by this time almost half of ppl had their lunch and were just waiting to say bye to subbu. We also had stood in queue just 5 min before subbu arrived but when we saw him we backed up. but after taking some initial snaps of their entering hall we saw lot of their relatives waiting to wish him, so we decided that we will go to have lunch and later we will come to take picture...
It was a long queue eventually we had to wait for 2 round of ppl to finish having their lunch. finally we went inside hall and were standing before ppl who were having food, the scene was as if we wait in some piligrim place to have food, hoping we should some how get food in next round..
in this gap there was dhanaraj with his camera, so he decided to showcase come of his talent by taking some unusual pictures for his orkut album, but none of the picture was up the the mark...
Mr.Dhanarajappa
Sorry some technical difficulty..
Here comes
Here onwards it was a plane & casual photo session
It was around 3 PM when we came back to our hotel room, every one was very lazy to go out because of sun light and humidity outside.. So we some how managed to push forward till 7PM by playing UNO cards game in and watch some telugu movie in hotel..
At 7 we went to Subbu's home as he told us to meet him there, We went to his place by that time some of his other friends were also standing in corridor of his home and were chatting with him, we joined the group lately, As we were near family the discussion was not as naughty as it was suppose to be ;-) so we couldnt talk much, One disappointment was Subbu did not invite any one inside doors and he gave send off to all of us.. Thats fine as their relatives were all sitting in living room.
We headed back to Hotel and packed our luggage and left to have our dinner on the way and to railway station. our train was at around 10.30...
Sorry i did not write anything about Mirza Mahesh & Madhu.. As i am finishing the long pending blog, as i started just a week after his marriage, but i could complete now. I can only write was we all enjoyed nicely playing UNO apart from that i forgot everything.. :-(
Forgot to tell about our guest Adarsha.. He was suppose to come attend this marriage at any cost and the tickets were booked against him. But Due to loose bottom and low temperature in his body and mainly he was travelling to Dubai next day so he pulled back at last moment..
All in all... I can say that this trip was more of travelling and less of entertainment, It was not up to the expectation.
I cannot compare this trip to nandyal which was even more hot and more of travelling too, but the entertainment part was too much where we traveeled to Mahanandi with some swimming, Ahobilam with some treckking, and while return joueney it was more of travelling in rain when we lost some route. but that was Fun. Thanks to Partha for such a nice arrangement...
