Eyes With Fire Will See Light Everywhere

I am making it official now, my new nick name would be "Chocolate." Considering the difficulty of people from other cultures having pronouncing my name and to save them of being guilt for unable to pronounce my name correctly,I took this decision. I have even tested my new nick name on children, recruiters at the career fairs and strangers and the results are significantly positive. When I allow people to call me chocolate, there is big relief followed by huge smile in their faces. Couldn't ask for more. If your name makes someone smile, isn't it amazing!!!.The conversation followed henceforth is much more relaxing and engaging. Most of all my new nick name, if not anything else, would be easy to remember. Thanks to my chinese friends who have given me such a memorable name. Initially, I was so pissed off when I say my name almost all chinese got it as "chocolate."I thought of shouting at them that there is a light year distance between Chakravarthy and C...

These are the days of historical significance across the world. Irrespective of which industry one is working, he/she has a high chance of being in the part of the history. For all those people born in late 80s and early 90s, who missed being in part of independence revolution, industrial revolution , IT revolution and who always wanted to be part of the revolution or transformation, this is a best chance to be part of the history.

When the VP of outdoor activities announced in a team meeting that we would be hiking for the highest peak in Arizona state, I was excited as a event coordinator and as a participant. As soon as I came to my room and googled about the peak and I decided I should make it at any cost. After the our first module exams and assignments, I had a day off before I can start for the hike. I spent the day off completing relaxing : spending ample time in bath tub bathing, listening to some of my favorite songs and reading books. On the D-day, I rushed to the parking lot at 5:00 AM in the morning, I woke up at 4:10 AM and had slept just 5 hours the last night. We split as per the cars availability and I ended with a mexican born American gal. One of my friend who was supposed to join us, got locked out in the room and had to take the next car. The drive to the hiking spot from my college was two and half hours. I thought of sleeping in the car but as things turned out I not only need to be awak...

Rugby club is one of the most active competitive club at Thunderbird. The day I came to know about it I decided I would be part of the club. After all competitiveness is one of the attributes of the student life. Before Rugby club I joined couple more clubs at Thunderbird, but none of them caught my attention. The sense of participation is there but not the sense of belonging.On my first day at practice, I was surprised. The club embraced me to its heart. The reception was overwhelming. I find the sense of belonging and warmth of the brotherhood and gentlemenship. After the first day of practice I recommended the club to one of my friends and he shared the same experience. Practices were going fine and then one day the club announced a practice match on saturday followed by celebrations party. I was excited. After completing my final strategy exam, I ran with excitement, curiosity and energy to the ground. But soon received a surprise. My captain said that I would be on bench and se...
