My affair with Upma

How many of you hate Upma??

I really don't know the reason, but I do hate it. In childhood I never want to have it. Every time amma makes it at home, I decide to starve, than have it. Under unavoidable circumstances, I used to mix huge quantity of sugar or chutney to completely alter its looks and feel before eating. But every dish has its time. (Like every dog has its day):(

By the way, how many of you remember Pokiri? There is a dialogue in Pokiri which Maheshbabu says with Illiana. It goes some thing like...
“Prathi roju dabbalaku dabbalu ethhuku povatame kani, ary kuradu gali tirugudu tiruthunnadee…. evaru lere papam… tinnada ledaa… kanisma intha upma ayinaa pettavaa? Ledu. Carrierlu Carrierlu pattukoni oo tiruguthuntav tappa enadaiyina evayinaa pettavva? “

I don’t know how many times food vendors in my office saw this scene. But Upma is their favorite dish. From day 1 of my job, Upma is hunting me as if we had enmity of past 7 lives. Every day there will be some sort of umpa in cafe.

Upma… Veg upma… Pea’s upma… Tomoato Bath… Ravva upma…Poha (atukulu upma)… Vermicelli upma… Rice ravva upma… Godhuma rava upma… Bread upma… Idli upma… God only knows how many more verities are there … :(

Almost every day I start and end work cursing Upma only! It became a routine now… but Upma is not leaving me :( This makes me remember another scene from Pokiri, which goes like...
Pandu: Emundi Dabba lo (what is there in box?)
Shruthi's Brother: upma.
Pandu: Family family upma thini bathikesthunnareee… (Does your entire family survive on upma alone?)


Now I have to say Entire World surviving on Upma alone … May be I can't imagine life with out Upma :(

Passing clouds…

In life we meet many people.

Some of them are just passing clouds.
Some of them become our shadow.
Some of them become eternal part of our life.
Some of them give inspiration and become guiding star.
Some of them become enemies as well.

Class into which a person falls, depend on your actions towards them and expectations from them.

I'd say, when you deliver give your best. And when you expect, look out for the slightest. This certainly reduces the count of people who enrolls you into foe listing though you may not join ally league.
