Uday Garikapati's Weblog !!

Inspired from teemus's post here

All this because of my recent visit to Niagara falls, my 1st vacation in USA. In a single trip span over 3 days I covered 6 states in USA and part of Canada.

As everybody knows Ganesh bhai is everyone's starting point of their lives and pooja's.
As this is the time of Vinayaka Chaviti, i was thinking about Ganeshji.. Just had a thought
of What happens to all Ganesh Bhai's after we dump them in Hussain Sagar !?

It might be ganesha heared my thoughts, I got a link in Google video It's just an amazing
video that anybody make on Ganesh Bhai till date ( I feel..) It was prepared by NID
(aka.. The National Institute of Design) guys. Just check out tht.

Here is the Ganesh Bhai video (on Google Video) to watch. If you want to download it
can try here directly or if you remeber this post or teemus post here for downloading
videos from Google video or youtube, you can try it on your own.

Bye bye Ganesh bhai for this year !! We all miss you !!!! (tomorrow is nimajjanam at Tank bund :-( )

Got some where on the net about these. Having motivational speeches,books,videos and posters etc.. will be good. What about
the de-motivational ones.....?

Other than this i liked this one about Linux, may it be most of the times it's true, but i feel it as BAD !?

Barcamp hyderabad is all set to rock again. “A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees". With this camp Hyderabad becomes the first city in India to host two BarCamps in a row :-) .

One of my colleague sent me this via messenger. Are these true.........

Three things in life once gone never come back........
    1.Words

This is my first meeting with all the LJ friends. As i was very eager to meet all the guys 'n' gals, i have planned my day well. First in the morning i attended a pre BarCamp for next upcoming BarCampHyderabad2 meet at Barista, jubilee hills. It lost upto 2:30 pm. Discussed so many options on how to conduct and how many we are expecting for the next barcamp, as the first BarCampHyderbad was so much HIT.

All the LJ'ers i met today are very nice and especially very good guys. sorry good gals also. Today i feel very happy that i too on LJ !! I am eagarly waiting for the next cyberabad meet.

Though your life has been filled with struggle and sadness of late, you're personally doing quite well for yourself. All this success brings responsibility, though, and should not be taken lightly. Life has turned from war to peace, from damage to reconstruction, and this brings a bright new hope for everyone you know. These hopeful people look to you for guidance, and your best advice to them is to watch out for snakes. You're quite fond of the name "Celeste".

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is low. Even if you're tempted, you'd try hard not to do it. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.
