Down the memory lane!!

Dear Boot campers,

I know this is a bit old school, but it's about time to write a letter to my fellow boot campers. I am writing this letter with average amount of mixed emotions an average person can feel after thinking about life for a whole weekend.Its been over 5 years since we all first met and being  together for how much ever work experience we manage to put against our first employer on our resume, most of us happen to forget our group's sweetheart's birthday last week. Although we all managed to look upon the incident as mature adults and move on with our lives, it kept me wondering how much  our lives has drifted apart physically and mentally.

I still remember the first day at the office those proud looks, pounding hearts, eagerness to be the best, excitement with a hint of nervousness as we all set the sail on out new journey to explore the professional world.We all knew that we had to work as we were paid for it but we never missed out on any opportunity to have fun.I believe we were trend setters of the team and managed to get through any boring work by injecting fun into it. I used to get this a lot - "In your work place no body is a friend, everyone is a colleague and will be waiting for an opportunity to get on top of you" which in our case is a myth. We had no problems in trusting each other in any work place or personal matters which let to the strong bond. Not to forget the innumerable number of  birthday parties, office parties, Dandeli, Coorge and so many hangouts, farewells that we added to our memories, only to bring us closer.

The only thing permanent in life is CHANGE. Although we have got down at our respective destinations to follow our career aspirations and reaching great heights, thanks to technology we have managed to stay in touch amid our busy schedules. This only shows that we love and respect the friendship we have. People are married, getting married, having kids, starting companies, working with some big names making films but kudos to all who are dropping in messages now and then to stay connected(including me!!):)

I know this is a bit much to ask, but July 1st 2010 was the day we(with some exceptions) met. July 1st 2020, I will be in Udupi upahar(Hopefully its there still) having coffee, idly, jalfrazy etc and I hope that all of  you will be on that table with me !! Since I am informing you very early, I know no one can say I am busy :P Miss you all guys and good luck to whatever you are doing.

This letter is dedicated to that one awesome person who was the GLUE that held the group together and to whom I forgot to wish on her birthday.Belated Happy birthday Kittu:)

Live-Love-Laugh,
Kiran

My First Love Letter ( The Proposal)

Image
I am starting off with a very common but interesting topic among the youth.This is my attempt to write a proposal letter to my girl friend ( which I don't have). The names in this letter are fictitious.Hope you enjoy reading this. Hi Preethi, Why do you miss a person? It´s either because you never treasured the moments when she was always there with you.... or you were too happy with her   that you became so used to the idea of having her around,that when you finally walked separate lives, you realized that every moment spent without her   is like, dying stars that slowly leave the sky empty. I am writing this letter after gathering all the courage that I could get   after   5 years... to just say something to you…that I don’t know how to say   L …but let me start from the beginning ... it all started from September 2006....when it   was just a week in college… making new friends, understanding what engineering was all about … when I saw you for ...

The Beginning...

Hi Guys, The First step is always difficult, but it is something that everyone has to take to start any Journey. Well this is my first post or should I say my first letter on my blog “ My Letters for Life – The way to communicate. ” Being a Telecommunication Engineer, the first question that was asked in my first class was “What is communication?”- Well many answers came out saying transmitter, receiver, medium and connecting it to a number of technologies like Telephone, television, Mobile, SMS, Internet, Satellite etc.  All these technologies have made the world smaller. We can speak face to face with friends and families who are miles apart in matter of seconds. But are we really communicating??? Are we really connecting with each other??? Are we conveying our feelings to the other person as we want to??? .. Sometimes we may but most of the time it’s just interaction. I personally feel that Letters are the best and effective way to convey our feelings to others. When I was y...
