A brief history about my Bowling ;)

My story with bowling started in a strange way, and I’m glad it did happen , because of where I’m today, it gives a sense of satisfaction and scope for further improvement in this challenging game. It all started when we trio i.e., myself, my engineering classmates Karthik and Naren got bored of our routine weekend plan of watching a movie way back in January 2013.  Just for a change, we visited the near by City Centre Mall which is famous for Bowling game owned by SVM company.

Our first game gave the required kick for me to take this game seriously . I happen to score 160/300. To give fair idea about this game . Just watch the picture below. All you have to do is to strike down the 10 pins placed orderly on a wooden frame with a ball and that too in two chances per round and you will be accordingly given points based on how many pins you will strike.

 

I really got addicted to the game, and to fuel further my friend karthik got addicted to this game too. Since then we did not look back, it has become our favourite pass-time for every weekend. More importantly, with each game played , my performance was improving a lot. I slowly was grasping the required techniques and was developing my own, based on the experience which further improved my performance.

Our duo was very well noted at SVM bowling centres for the tricks and skills we display  especially SVM at kothapet , where I happen to score my career highest score so far  i.e., 218/ 300 which was very well appreciated by SVM Company on their facebook page. This score is still the highest in the SVM kothapet Centre. 

Our duo even participated in a bowling tournament conducted by SVM in which I stood 9th position in the finals competing with professional players who happen to represent India in commonwealth games  . It did gave me a lot of exposure to various techniques and also how to cope up with pressure during the game.

In short , this game is added to my list of hobbies and brought out a new skill out of me and gave  boosting to my confidence to a new level :) .I hope in all this ONE YEAR of playing this game , I can pretty much rate myself as a Intermediate player with more requirement of dedication and training to become a professional. I hope to achieve this one day soon :)

To end this post , here is a video of me spinning the ball to knock down a pin. Watch it and Enjoy :)

Stay Happy and Keep Smiling :)

Tryst with God!!

My relationship with God is quite simple. I strongly believe that He exists all around us and willing to take care of anyone who comes under His shade. I'm reiterating this very simple and age-old fact because at one point of time I even reached to a conclusion that for the very origins of us and the Universe around us, there is no requirement of magical hand of God as described by the Laws of Science.  I was desperately in search of truth that made me to take a fascinating journey of understanding the scientific version which always looks for evidence, which was quite convincing that I almost turned atheist!!!.

How I had comeback out of this flawed philosophy is altogether a different story which is not central theme of this post.  As of now, I consider Him to be a Wise friend and talk to Him as a friend. For I, right from the childhood believed that its pure feelings from our heart that matters to Him the most than anything else like performing pujas etc.

I‘m a devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba. I still wonder how I had turned to His devotee because it was spontaneous and it had happened so naturally that I always enjoyed that feeling. So this incident happened while I was reading the book  “Shri Saibaba Satcharitra Parayanam” which was meant to be completed within 7 days.  A must read for Every Sai devotee, as it explains the life works of Shirdi Sai.   I was also told that Shiridi Sai would test us during these 7 days.

On the Fourth day of reading Parayanam, I was waiting on the road side to catch an auto to office near Dilshuknagar. I just happen to turn around to see a blind person about 40 metres away making an effort to come near to the road. He was struggling to a lot and even narrowly missed hitting a bus. I was already late and neglecting the blind person, I was trying to hire an auto directly to office. The next time when I turned around, he was standing behind me helplessly. I was in great dilemma whether to help him or proceed to office as it was already late. But somehow I decided to help him and turned around to ask him “Do you want to cross the road?”  . He said “Yes”. I took his hand and helped in crossing the road. After crossing the road, I asked him “Where do you want to go from here”. He said “Sai Baba temple”. I was shocked and a sudden chill went through my spine!!. I finally realized that Baba wants to test me and asked the person immediately whether I could take him to Baba temple. He simply said “No” and vanished into the crowd. 

For some, this might be a trivial incident, But for me, this little incident is an eye opener as it was clear manifestation of God himself and His care for everyone who takes His shade. After finishing the Parayanam, I simply wished for this 

“Let the World around me, be happy especially my dear ones

by fulfilling their dreams and blessing them with Joyful life ahead

and guiding them in needy situations to lead a happy and peaceful Life ”

May blessings of Baba be there upon you all the time:)

How my mom broke my pride !!

( Its been a year since I have updated anything on my blog.Though i’m not a prolific writer, but letting out my own thoughts once in a while gives sheer joy of expressing yourself, which i was missing as Life started to show its true colours and has taken a toll on my blogging. This year I don't want to keep my blog posts empty and would like to finish off with a lesson I learnt.)

As far as i remember, this incident has happened way back in 1997 during which i was pursuing my Seventh grade in the school. I came across a math puzzle in a daily newspaper  which is given below in two tables

2	9	4
7	5	3
6	1	8

            Table 1

            Table 2

The challenge was to use numbers from 1 to 9  and arrange in such a manner that summation along any row , column or diagonal is constant . Here in the above case of table 1 , the summation equals to 15.  Table 1 was given as an example of how to arrange the numbers to get the desired value and the table 2 is to be filled based on table 1.  and the summation along any row ,column and diagonal in the table 2 should be equal to 18 using numbers from 2 to 10.

“ The above puzzle if solved correctly will be rewarded properly” claimed the daily newspaper. I was tempted to solve this puzzle at any cost and win a prize for myself. So I, along with my tenant Chaitanya started with various permutation and combinations to arrive at the desired value. I was good at math during my school and that was the driving  motivation that kept me going.

During our struggle, my mom noticed us and inquired about brainstorming session that was heading towards a stalemate. My mom was willing to help us, but I rejected and knowing her background education made a sarcastic comment as though she cannot solve it as I, myself  , who was very good at math and always got 95-100% in math exams was struggling.

In spite of  my protest , she took the paper and saw the puzzle  we were struggling for and gave back the paper after scribbling something within FIVE seconds. I was flabbergasted  to see the  puzzled solved !!!.

My mom who studied upto School only and graduated way back in 1973, solved the puzzled within a  few seconds and I never saw her solving any puzzles whatsoever.  This came as total shock to me and  I asked her how she did it . She told a small trick to solve this problem. I was  once again in a state of shock.

Thus , that is how my mom broke my pride of underestimating . From that time onwards, I never underestimated  any person whatsoever based on their background. A very simple lesson learnt in a very powerful and effective way.  Thanks Mom and I’m sorry too.

I got reminded of one of the great quotations that very aptly depicts this situation.

“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards" ~ Vernon Law.

P.S:  Give it a try and solve it within few seconds. The clue lies in table 1.

My dear angel

(Just felt like sharing a  thought passing by ..) 

It all began when our eyes met each other, that you became my destiny.

Your name sounded the sweetest ever, only to become my motivation.

Your smile is like a shining star that never stops to amaze me.

Just your presence, brings a great rejoice to my lonely heart.

My dear angel, Life without you, would just cease to exist.

A caring soul that always strives for the happiness of others.

A praying heart with a smile that heals the infected souls.

With helping hands, radiating your love and affection.

A blend of unique things in you that defines who you are.

My dear angel, you are an epitome of being a human.

Not even a second passes by, thinking of you

Not even a day passes by, praying for you

No quantum of words can describe my love

All in all it comes down to this, my dear angel

“I’m deeply truly madly

in love with you

for eternal”.

My dear angel, Life with you, will be beautiful.

Arm in arm, we shall walk the road of life together

 I’ll show you, the eternal happiness you are blessed with….
