MY PERSONAL DIARY OF 2007

         

1 January (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Freshened up myself by 6:30. Spent reading the Telugu daily Andhra Jyothi for half an hour. My cousin Kiran came to KSS Hostel by 9:30 on his bike. We started to Secunderabad by 9:45. We stopped at Vysya Boys Hostel on the way for 15 minutes. We reached Secunderabad railway station by 11:15. I had my breakfast in the railway canteen. Konark Express arrived by 11:20. Naren, the elder brother of Kiran, was going to Mumbai for his job with the TCS there. Kiran gave him a packet of food for his lunch in train. We spent talking with him till 11:45. Then this train left this station. We came out. We two searched for rent portions from 12:00 to 2:30 in the areas of Padmarao Nagar, Ashok Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, Bakaram, Chikkadpally and Himayat Nagar. No house owner is willing to rent out his portion to bachelors. For them, bachelors mean proactive lovers or furtive womanizers. We have no certificates showing that we are gentlemen. We were disappointed with this experience. We had lunch in Tasty Bite Restaurant by Shivam Road by 3:30. Then Kiran left for his hostel at Kachiguda. I spent at Global View Internet café from 4:00 to 11:00. Changed the photos on my blog site. Added about 60 photos of beautiful Indian film actresses. My site got an attractive look after adding these photos. There was no reply from Swati in New Delhi. This truth deeply disturbed me. I am trying to come out from her admiration. Returned to KSS Hostel by 11:15. Had a pack of biscuits and a glass of water. I entered New Year with lots of lovesickness and self-pity. Where is my wife in this world? Went to sleep by 12:00.

2 January (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Freshened up myself by 7:00. Spent reading Eenadu for two hours. Walked down Shivam Road and had my breakfast in Tasty Bite Restaurant by 9:30 along with my friend Anjaneya Raju. Often I am eating in this hotel using the Ticket Restaurant meal vouchers presented to me by my cousin Kiran. Spent with my hostel mates for some time. They bought clothes in a shop by Shivam Road for them. Now I am in a great need of buying clothes and a pair of shoes for me. I have no money. Reached cinema Sri Ramana at Bagh Amberpet by 1:00 on foot. My friends already stood in the queue there and bought the tickets. Had a plate of Vegetable Biryani for 14 rupees and a glass of almond flavoured juice for 10 rupees in a nearby roadside hotel by 1:45. We four saw the Telugu film “Annavaram” of Pavan Kalyan from 2:00 to 5:00 in it. We enjoyed watching it very much. We returned to KSS Hostel by 5:30. Spent watching people and vehicles on road, standing opposite Sai Supermarket, from 5:40 to 6:40. Went to Global View Internet café by 7:00 and spent there browsing Internet till 8:00. I enjoy seeing nude female beauty on some websites for some time. I think that exceptionally beautiful female bodies are made of butter and honey. Beauty lovers like me admire visible female nudity. Most of the men, in this world, like to have sex with a million beauties before they die. The rich buy it. The poor cannot afford it. All are running after that little hole. Males would be happy if they can copulate a female 20 hours a day till they die. Pornographic websites are pervasive on Internet. Many want to see them. Went to sleep by 11:00.

3 January (Wednesday)

Woke up by 7:00. Freshened up myself by 7:30. Spent reading Eenadu for one hour. Went to Tasty Bite Restaurant by 9:00 and had a plate of puris. Took a city bus and reached Uppal by 9:30. Thence took a city bus for Yousufguda Check Post. I cannot get a seat if I board it by Shivam Road. Route buses 113E and 113Y would be very crowded during morning and evening. I cannot travel standing on footboard and hanging on windows. Took an auto rickshaw from there and reached the abode of my friend Veeranjaneyulu by 11:00. Bought two packs of sweets at a shop and took him. This year he is going to be known to the world as an artist. These sweets are to congratulate him in advance on this occasion. Had my lunch there by 1:30. He got Internet connection to his computer. He wants to read criticism on female nude art. I could not find useful content on this topic on Internet. Today I showed him some pornographic websites. Some girls and ladies want instant recognition, fame and money. They indulge in these acts to get them. Veeru and I believed that female beauty is divine. Slowly we realized that many beauties are mere bitches. Many sleep with anybody for earning money and fame. I saw the photos of a female nude model on Veeru’s computer. She got sharp features. Veeru is looking for a female model to do some drawings for his first solo exhibition in Hyderabad soon. Night he told me how his students are treating him due to his unknown life as an artist. Went to sleep by 12:00.

Yesterday I created his profile on this website. He does not have good photos of him to keep on this website. I don’t like this facet of his life as an artist. He is such dull creature. Copied the photo of Swati into my floppy. The manager of this Internet café is a friend to me. One cannot copy photos from this matrimonial website. He did it using screen shot technique. It is the second photo of Swati in a sitting pose with a pink top. She is looking mesmerizing in this photo. Took it to Universal Photo Studio by Shivam Road and ordered two prints for 20 rupees.

Typed out and posted a blog on my blog site. Bought a pack of Chicken Biryani from Tasty Bite Restaurant. Had half of it and gave the rest to my friend Bala Rama Raju. It was very oily.

I typed out and posted a two-page comment there explaining her how I was hurt due to her insulting remarks about me. She did not like it. She deleted much text from this comment on it. She cannot bear if somebody questions her or criticizes her honestly and frankly. She studied in Sydney. She is doing a good job in Mumbai. She is interested in social service. She likes me.

She called me  fucker and warned that she would screw me soon. She is competent enough to fight with me. I like to play with her because she is a kid. She looks more beautiful with an angry face. Today I had Lemon Tea for three times. The eldest brother of Veeru treated me like a special guest. I felt uneasy for making him busy this way. Our friend Murali is also there.

Emailed my CV to the folks of UBS. Saakshi complained to the staff of Ibibo stating that I posted her photo on my blog site on it without her permission. They informed me to remove it immediately. I did it happily. She wrote very badly on her blog site about me and my blogs. She tried her best to present me as a criminal on her personal blog site. I am happy with her anger at me. I think no good fellow ever loved her. I admire her. She hates me for this reason. She is a feminist and animal lover. She does not know how to deal with dreamers like me. Her friends posted 12 comments on her blog site criticizing me with offensive words. She failed to send an email to me or make a call to my cellphone. She can do little beyond her circle of close friends, well-wishers and relatives. She drew a line of protection around her and trying to shout at me from there. I regret visiting her blog site on my own and then being insulted this way by her. I am an admirer of beauty. My role is to love her. Had a tin of apple juice for my supper and cooled down myself.

Two of her friends posted two comments today on the blog she wrote aiming me on her blog site yesterday titled “The Parasites of the virtual World”. They wrote that I am a bad guy and that I deserve the harsh treatment of Saakshi. She is a good girl. Her ego was hurt when I questioned about her integrity. She has no answers and so started blaming me. I enjoy being attacked by such innocent beauty. She thinks that she is a feminist, animal lover and social activist. She failed to enjoy her life as a girl with innate bodily desires, remaining away from opposite sex and following her terms of feminism and social service. I set fire to her age asking her to love me. She is burning with love for me but trying to conceal it and satisfy her ego. Had my parcel supper in KSS Hostel by 10:00. Went to sleep by 11:00.

She is perhaps addressing our recent interaction on her blog site. There are feelings of pain, suffering and tragedy centered on the essential characteristics of love. My approach had been admiration and appreciation. She responded to it from the standpoint of a feminist and social activist. Her friends misguided her writing badly about me and appreciating her role as a teacher towards me. I was compelled to write something to console her. Typed out three pages asking her to forgive me for all that hurt her. I think it is the perfect step I took to resolve this issue in a peaceful manner. I also clarified her that anybody likes to marry an intelligent, creative, beautiful and kind girl like her. It is hinting her that I still like her and want to marry her. Night avoided my supper.

She tries to represent the identities of feminist, animal lover, social activist, business manager, blogger and aristocrat. Her demerits are short temper, feminist ego, biased outlook on the world and self-pity. She participates in a few public campaigns to keep up her image of social activist.

My objective was to invite her to read my blogs. I decided to rely on the toss of a coin to take a decision in this regard. It hinted not to send an email to her.

Till recently I had a feeling that all the songs in the present Telugu films are worthless. After listening to many new songs on Radio Mirchi, I feel that 50% of them are melodious and exciting. I am enjoying listening to them. The present lyricists are using explicit language to describe obsessive love between a boy and a girl. Modern youth find them inspiring and exciting.

She asked me about my friend Rajani. She has a bride for him in her mind. She is an M.A. I told her that my friend is looking for amazing beauty. She asked me to collect the details of the maternal and paternal grandparents of this man and reach her. I think that there is no use of knowing about the ancestors of a man to assess the worth of his character. Marriage is a social event. Love between a wife and her husband are personal matters. Elders cannot correct them if they spoil their relationship on the way. One’s character may change at any time. One’s history cannot be used as a certificate of assurance about one’s future. Conservative Indians must change in this direction. Went to sleep by 11:10 for my dreams.

He has to prepare the document of power of attorney for her to get her money released from the bank. I don’t think that it is a genuine case. I won’t lose anything in this deal. I am enjoying this game silently. Spent listening to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for one hour. Had my parcel supper by 10:30 along with my hostel mates. Kiran gave me 300 rupees by 12:10.

Typed out a long letter addressing the Chief Justice of India. Typed out and edited an eight-page letter in seven hours’ time. It is related to my fight against Google and People Link Solutions.

The managing director of People Link Solutions has to pay me eight lakh rupees if he is found guilty. Google has to pay me 80 crore rupees if it is found guilty. In case, both refuse to do it, they must give back my lost time of 80 days. The Supreme Court of India must deal with this case. Got an email from the barrister in Senegal. He informed me to send him $2000 to prepare the power of attorney for Nancy. I know about these online scams. He does not know that I am a master in this game.

The monthly rents, they are asking for, are very high. We had four plates of cut pieces of watermelon at a pushcart near a bus stop in Film Nagar by 4:00. We liked a portion in Film Nagar by main road but its floor is not attractive. Films are associated with looks and masks. It is suitable for a film office. Artists and technicians can easily reach there. Many watch films and admire film personalities but they don’t like to rent out their abodes to film related people. This house belongs to a doctor. My friend Rajani decided to talk with him with the help of a famous doctor he knows. Our friend Murali, a devotee of Meher Baba, also accompanied us in this thorough search for a house.

I spent at a Kirana shop there for some time. There are two stray dogs. One is white and the other is black. The black one is sensitive and cowardly.

I offered him parcel lunch in my guest room. Posted the blog titled “Revenge” on my blog site by 2:00. We two left for Secunderabad railway station by 3:00 in an auto rickshaw.

She asked me to keep in touch with her because she likes anybody that writes. Today Anji initiated me into the world of online chatting through the gateway of Yahoo Messenger. Chatted with a girl of the Philippines, who is living in Canada now. I enjoy online chatting a lot. I missed the friendship of beautiful girls in my life so far. I can fill this void this way. The only problem is that most of the users of this communication channel conceal their identities and tell lies treating it as an online game of fun. Today I created an email account on Google. Sent the first email from it to Swagata Gupta in Bangalore. Returned to KSS Hostel with 500 grams of grapes for my lunch. Spent talking with Anji in my room from 2:00 to 6:30. I went pale. Sat by the road opposite Sai Supermarket from 7:00 to 9:30 watching the people and vehicles passing by me. Some of them are beautiful. I liked them. They have no time to care for me. I have neither money nor fame now to attact them that way. Had my parcel supper along with my hostel mates by 10:00. Went to sleep by 11:30.

14 March (Tuesday)

Spent talking with my cousin Murali from 5:30 to 7:00, sitting on a cement bench by the road in Osmania University campus. We talked about immorality in the present marriage system in India. Marrying beautiful and good-natured girls is difficult now for educated and poor boys. Girls and their parents are running after the money and craze associated with boys. We brought a parcel of plate meal from Kakatiya Mess and had it by 8:00. Spent talking with my hostel mates till 9:30. Went to sleep by 10:30.

Had cold rice with onions by 9:30. Watched parts of Hindi feature film “Mann” on Veeru’s computer for 30 minutes. Spent chatting online through Yahoo Messenger from 10:00 to 6:00.

Also chatted with some females in India, the Philippines and Canada. It is mostly some sex workers that bring bad name to many countries. I came across the photo and details of a foreign woman, working with a spiritual organization in the USA. She is a blend of inspiring beauty, erudition and spirituality. Her name is Deepa. I sent an email to them expressing my interest to marry her. Spent downloading a few female nude photos from Internet for Veeru for 30 minutes. He is looking for a female model to do nude paintings for his solo exhibition in Hyderabad soon. Our friend Anil Muktavar also spent with us there from the afternoon.

Had my parcel lunch by 4:00. Rested on bed for two hours. Now I am living a life of frustration. Dirty employers in India kept me jobless for 170 days. I posted my CV on four famous job portals. My friends said that those with much gap in their employment history won’t be preferred by recruiters or employers. I will teach a lesson to these idiots one day. Evening I considered the options of suicide, male prostitution, bank burglary and terrorism. The first is against divine will. The second is my death as a considerable entity. The third is a crime. The fourth is a system of sin and violence. Thus I am trapped by the evil forces of my destiny. I am losing valuable time due to unfavorable circumstances around me. To avoid these self-destructive thoughts, went to a nearby Internet café and spent there browsing Internet from 8:00 to 9:00. Had my parcel meal by 10:30. Night had a nightmare. Went to sleep by 11:00.

I want a beautiful girl to marry. She may be anywhere in this world. I have to search and find her. Saw the Hindi version of English film “300” in cinema Sri Ramana Digital at Bagh Amberpet from 6:00 to 8:00. Went to sleep by 11:00.

19 March (Monday)

Woke up by 6:30. Took a bath by 8:00. Had cold rice by 8:30. Went to the abode of Rajani by 9:00. Spent rest of the time with him. Morning received my cellphone bill. Went to the nearby Reliance outlet and paid 250 rupees. Had my lunch by 1:30 along with my hostel mates. Evening spent watching cricket from 6:30 to 10:30 in the abode of Rajani. Presently ICC World Cup is going on in Trinidad. Now my job is spending my time somehow because I don’t have another job. Today the teams of Bermuda and India played there. Bermuda won the toss and chose fielding. India scored 413 runs losing five wickets. They said that it is the highest score in the history of World Cup. The players of Bermuda looked weak. India should have scored more. It shows the incompetence of Indian players. I enjoyed watching it though I hate it essentially. We went to RTC Crossroads on Rajani’s bike by 10:45. We had Chicken Biryani in Bawarchi restaurant there. The agents of government were blowing whistles hinting us to leave the hotel at the earliest because it was the eleventh hour of the day. Rajani did not like this policy of the government. He told me to write letters to the respective folks asking them to change this system. When the rich can enjoy dancing in pubs during late night hours, what is wrong in ordinary people eating out during that time? I enjoyed myself all the day. Today is the last day of Telugu year Yuva. Telugu calendar readers have differences among them regarding celebration of Ugadi. Night had a sweet dream. A beautiful girl loved me. Went to sleep by 11:30.

20 March (Tuesday)

Woke up by 7:00. Took a bath by 8:00. Had my breakfast by 9:00. Today it is Ugadi, the first day of new Telugu year Sarvajit. Our hostel supervisor offered us holy homemade pickle of the day. He is a poor man. I could witness the bitterness and ugliness of poverty in this festive dish prepared by his wife. It is a mixture of a few pieces of mango, banana, green chillies and tamarind. I did not like it but ate it to honor the spirit of this festival. Went to Global View Internet café by 9:30. Its manager came there by 10:30 and opened it. Spent this one hour watching the phenomena and action before me. Read Eenadu for 10 minutes. There were no replies from employers. I thought that there would be instant replies from the brides to whom I sent emails with my details earlier. Nobody replied. Many Indians express their disdain for others through silence. Eighty percent of Indians belong to this nasty lot. Sixty percent of Indian girls, boys, men and women are immoral bitches and unethical dogs. They like to have sex with anybody but not marriage with somebody possessing admirable character. Most of the present modern educated Indian girls like sex in the name of friendship and dating but not marriage for the sake of love. Prostitutes are better than these hypocrites. Most of them are after money and fame of boys and men. They go to temples during daytime to request God to forgive their sins committed during nighttime. Indian girls are the best actresses in the world. They can insult and hurt sensitive men within minutes. Others consider it sensitivity and modesty. I call it the biggest disease and demerit of Indian culture. Rapists and terrorists would be encouraged here. It is the picture of the little India I saw, listened to and felt. Spent most of the day in the company of my friend Rajani. Went to sleep by 11:30.

21 March (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Took a bath by 7:30. Had my breakfast by 9:00. Spent with Rajani from 10:00 to 2:00. Afternoon had two glasses of curd for 10 rupees in Kakatiya Mess. This morning called up Sekhar, the maternal uncle of Srijana, and knew that they are not interested in Rajani considering the difference of age between the bride and bridegroom. This news disturbed me. It is how innocent girls are being victimized in the conventional Hindu society. A girl leaves the responsibility of her marriage to her parents. They eventually spoil her life. I envisioned a life of comforts and happiness for this girl in the company of Rajani. Since I went to their abode, they started thinking that they are in a privileged position now. It was I that talked with them to know what was happening. He is 34. She is 18. He reached the present stage of life after much struggle. Her parents are poor. Golden chances knock one’s door very rarely. The intelligent and lucky ones utilize them properly. The short-sighted ones discard them ignorantly. I don’t think that a bridegroom with such qualities comes her way in future. It depends on luck factor. This news did not hurt Rajani. He has to go out of caste for beauty if he cannot find one in Kshatriya community. Then Kshatriya community finds fault with him stating that he crossed the borders of tradition. I pity the innocent girl Srijana. Her life is not in her control. Went to the rented abode of my cousin Murali at Self Finance Colony in Vanasthalipuram by 6:30 to spend there for this night. We talked about the present marriage system. Went to sleep by 11:30.

22 March (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Brushed my teeth with a fresh margosa twig. It is a good habit. Had my breakfast by 7:30. Rajeswari, the mother of Murali, prepared it with rice flour and wheat flour. It was very tasty. Murali and I came to NGO Colony bus stand by 8:00. I bought a copy of Eenadu and a copy of Sitara at the bookstore there. We reached Shivam Road by 10:00. He proceeded to his office in DD Colony. Global View Internet café was opened by 10:30. I spent there browsing Internet till 12:30. Registered my details on timesjobs.com portal. They are conducting a job fair at Hitex Exhibition Center in Madhapur on the 24^th and 25^th of this month in Hyderabad. Folks of many companies come there to select suitable candidates on the spot. The intensity of my search for a good job is getting grim day by day. I have to go to this open market to sell myself as an employee. Today I chatted online with a girl in Malaysia for one hour through Yahoo Messenger. She is a Tamil girl. She is working as a cataloger there. She is living with her parents. They are citizens of Malaysia. Gave my email id and cellphone number asking her to be my friend. Her online identity is Sugenthy Vani. I deeply enjoyed chatting with her. Returned to KSS Hostel by 1:00. Had my lunch in Kakatiya Mess by 2:30 along with Rajani. He returned the color photos of Srijana. His love and pity for that girl died. I felt disturbed taking these photos from him. He wanted to marry her. Spent reading Eenadu and Sitara for some time.

My friends in this hostel said that the gap of one year in my employment history does not bring me any job from employers. It means that I have to get a fake job experience certificate from somebody.

There was an email from a company in Jubilee Hills. They have vacancy for a content writer with them. Spent talking with my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani for 30 minutes over my cellphone.

He told me that he would get it cleaned soon. He wants to share it with others due to his financial constraints. I cannot afford the monthly rent of my guest room in KSS Hostel anymore. This hostel supervisor is an eccentric. Many of my hostel mates are undisciplined and lazy ones. To dislike something or somebody, one must consider its or his or her drawbacks and demerits.

I did not find her worthy as a content writer. Richard told us to read different kinds of articles on Internet and then prepare writing templates. I prepared 20 writing templates by 6:00. I depended on my creativity in doing it than on online research. Many articles available online do not represent creative styles of content development.

This blog carries a fictional interview. Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi, whom I consider as my brother, interviews me. Today I chatted online with my APR School friend Visweswara Rao. Gmail facilitated this chat through Gtalk. He is working in Qatar now as an electrical engineer. He married Swapna of Amalapuram in May 2005. He loved and wanted to marry a Muslim girl in Kakinada. Her parents asked him to convert into Islam if he wants to marry her. He did not like it. He avoided marrying her. I appreciated his decision. For her, religion is more important than her lover. He cannot be happy in her company. She wants to marry her classmate. He is a Hindu. He is ready to convert into Islam to marry her. Love became a ball in the ground of religion. I advised him to settle in some European country. He wrote that he would return to India after five years. Mutyala Rao, another friend of mine from APR School in Bhoopathipalem, is in Abu Dhabi now. He indulges in love marriage soon going against the wishes of his parents. I like it. Orkut made all this possible. I could communicate with these guys because of it. Thanks to Google.

Recently I told Gita to watch this film on computer. She forgot to do it. This is to motivate her towards seeing that film. Today, one of my juniors of APR School, chatted online with me through Gtalk. He tried his best to make me recollect his image of those days. I could not recollect it. Long gaps kill much part of our memory. This morning I gave 100 rupees to the lady bus conductor to buy a ticket of eight rupees. She gave me eight 10-rupee notes and a two-rupee coin. Then my brain was engaged in some other thoughts. Later I realized that she had to yet give me 10 rupees. She told me to count those notes again and sat in a seat meant for ladies. She looked guilty. My stage arrived in the mean time. I did not like her mentality. Returned to Shankar Mutt by 8:00. Bought rice, curries and curd. Varun prepared rice by 8:30. Balaram too joined us.

She wrote that she was deflowered when she was 21. I asked her what it means in my email to her. I did not touch any girl till now. I felt very jealous of this girl. When I checked a free online English dictionary for its meaning, it is stated there that getting deflowered means losing virginity. In the USA, it may be quite common. I found her very privileged and intelligent. She knew how to enjoy her life based on her instincts and passions. Ethics mean self-imposed rules upon oneself. It is a difficult path to follow. Her liberal lifestyle, which was described in her profile, pinched me. She is brave and honest. I liked her. Returned to Shankar Mutt by 8:00. Bought rice, curries and curd for 51 rupees. Varun cooked rice for us. Balaram joined us. We had supper by 9:15. Went to sleep by 11:00.

It stopped raining soon. My oiled hair wore a bad look. I did not like my face. Rajani called me up by 12:00 and told me that he did not like the photo of the girl, the relatives of whom met us recently. I appreciated his view. Marriage should not take place between an admirer of beauty and an ordinary girl. Today I added three pages of text to my fictional blog in which Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi interviews me. I will add two more pages to it and finish it up. Today I did not do much work related to my job there. Read much about Google. Its story of development is very interesting. I have a blog site. I did not take online measures to make it easily accessible and popular on Internet. Today I deleted all the links from my blog site. I found that my readers are interested in my blogs only. They are not looking for other kinds of information on my blog site. Today I posted the link of a website on my blog site. It prevents my text from being copied by others. There is no security for text or images posted online. One can take precautionary measures only. Returned to my abode by 8:00. Balaram and Varun brought chicken.

I could not post this blog on my blog site today due to it. My blog readers are eagerly waiting for it. I should have saved it in Notepad. I decided to post it on the 24^th of this month. I like Microsoft Word. It helps me identify basic language errors easily. Returned to my abode by 10:00 along with three eggs, curd and mango pickle. My two roommates are lazy blokes. Had rice with curd and mango pickle, not waiting for the curry to be prepared by them later. Went to sleep by 11:30.

I saw them on his computer. I liked her innocent and inspiring beauty. She was shot in maroon clothes. Her role is that of a hermit. She took 5000 rupees for this photo session on a night. Veeru told me that she is likely to desert this world in about five years’ time. She is carrying a fatal disease in her. Exceptional beauty seldom got special care of God.

By 3:30 Richard East told us about the auto responders we content writers have to prepare for the prospective customers of our unique keyword software product.

Had a plate of Vegetable Biryani for 20 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 1:30. Our Assistant HR Manager Gita stopped talking with me for the last few days. I decided to ignore her completely.

I found her very beautiful. I wanted to marry her. She completes her polytechnic course this academic year. Her relatives are interested in getting her married to me. I told my sister-in-law to go ahead in this direction. Searching for an inspiring beauty became a big problem for me. I will be very happy if I can marry her. Her father cannot offer me dowry at all.

She got some mental blocks. Afternoon my friend Srinivas sent me an email from Japan. He informed me not to receive phone calls from five numbers. They are from dangerous people in India.

I was advised to refrain myself from sending such overly personal messages to others on this portal. I emailed them one-page long reply. I informed them that I don’t like to be a member on such forum where one cannot even reply to the message of another person. They draw boundaries around them. Only their parents, siblings, friends, relatives and familiar well-wishers are acceptable to them. Thus they limit their space of interaction with others. They are frogs in my view. I am a bird in the sky. I like to see and interact with anybody. I answer any question from anybody. I belong to all. I concluded my email stating that I am terminating my association with their portal today itself. I don’t like being in the company of such cowards and escapists. Today power cut occurred many times. We found it disgusting. It turned cloudy in the evening and rained. We felt relieved of this summer heat. Today I collected two photos of Saakshi from her blog site. They are beautiful. Returned to my abode by 7:00. Today Gita informed all the employees to bring the photocopies of their certificates and photos for HR records. I attended this work for 20 minutes in the building Windsor Plaza. Met my cousin Shiva in his rented abode at Nallakunta by 9:00. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 9:30. It is cool. I felt lonely. My sweetheart is yet to come into my life. Went to sleep by 10:00.

4 May (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:10. Reached Hyderguda by 8:45. Bought a pack of biscuits for 10 rupees. Today I completed preparing the auto responder series for our service offer “Traffic Assistant”. There is no reply from the folks of Associated Content. Now there are three of my articles on it. Morning registered my name and cellphone number on the portal of AdPPC Mobile. They daily send information, related to some products and services, in the form of SMS. We can earn a little money having a look at them. It is a kind of mobile marketing. Today there was a reply from Jude in Senegal. Yesterday there was an email from this girl. She wrote that she is interested in being a friend to me. I replied positively. I found her reply somewhat feministic. I enjoy this game. Had a plate of Vegetable Biryani in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 1:30. Today I copied the text related to my comments on the blog site of Saakshi O Juneja and stored it in my Yahoo Briefcase. Gave this eight-page long word file to Gita to read and understand the mindset of a feminist in making. Today she gave me a form carrying the details meant for escaping from tax deduction from my salary. I have to save money to be away from the axe of income tax. I hate this exploitation by government. Left the office by 6:15. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman at Shankar Mutt and reached my abode by 8:00. Spent reading Sitara for 20 minutes. Talked with my brother Sambha for 12 minutes over my cellphone. Then it was raining there. Here it is cloudy and sultry. Prayers to my Lord Krishna. Went to sleep by 11:00.

Woke up by 5:30. Had a bath by 6:30. Took 113E bus from VST bus stop by 8:20. Took an auto rickshaw from Yousufguda Check Post and reached the abode of Veeru by 9:30. Giddiness is still there in me. It attacks me frequently. It might be because of low blood pressure. I am not eating good food these days. Veeru did not carry out his art work much today. He talked a little emotionally today. His mother is suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes. She is not following diet regimen advised by doctor minding her health problems. His eldest brother is smoking now and then going against the advice of doctor. His cousins are undisciplined. He regretted saying that he cannot depend on any of his relatives in times of adversity for him. He has  a debt of three lakh rupees now. His familiar ones lent him this money. Took leave of him by 4:30 and reached KSS Hostel by Shivam Road by 6:30. Spent talking with my friends there for two hours. Balaram and I came to our rented abode by 9:00 along with a parcel of plate meal from Kakatiya Mess. Night talked with my relatives in Gollalagunta over my cellphone. It was cool. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

6 May (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu from 7:30 to 9:00. My cousin Kiran came from his hostel by 9:30. Took me to Navodaya Nursing Home by Shivam Road on his bike. I told the doctor that I have been suffering from giddiness for a few days. He prescribed tablets for me for three days. He advised me to consult an ENT surgeon. Saw the Telugu film “Sri Mahalakshmi” in cinema Sri Mayuri from 11:00 to 1:30. Srihari acted well in it. It is a good film. Evening spent at Vidya Nagar railway station for one hour. Had my parcel supper by 8:00. Went to sleep by 9:30.

7 May (Monday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had my breakfast in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Entered our office by 8:40. There was no Internet access to our computer systems throughout the day. We could not work much for this reason. Today I submitted my declaration form to our accounts manager stating that I am paying 4000 rupees per month to the owner of my apartment as rent. It is for my tax deduction purpose. Today I spent most of my time talking with Sona. She is our Assistant HR Manager now. She is beautiful. Today she is celebrating her ninth wedding anniversary. She wore a beautiful saree today. She is a Bengali creature. They settled in Maharashtra long ago. She has two kids. She compared them with 18 monkeys. Her English sounds elegant with American accent. She is good at expressions. She adds fitting gestures to her words. She reads only that much content which she thinks is relevant to her profession and personal life. Returned to my abode by 7:00. Spent browsing Internet from 7:15 to 8:30 at an Internet café in Windsor Plaza. Jude Lance is a Gambian. He contacted me by email one week ago. Today I chatted online with him through Yahoo Messenger. He requested me to help him sending a medicine from India. It is available at Hashmi Unani Centre in Uttar Pradesh. I visited their website. I found their products and services reliable. I emailed to them on behalf of Jude. Had a plate of rice in Hotel Sanman for 20 rupees by 9:00. It is one of the good hotels in this area. Went to sleep by 9:30.

8 May (Tuesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Reached our office at Hyderguda by 8:15. Spent there reading Eenadu for some time. Today I did not do much work. Nick Dunin took much time to finalize keywords today. Now most of the American Internet users are checking for information related to bad credit, bankruptcy and car loans. We were given 30 keywords related to these domains. We have to write articles on these keywords within word count of 350 to 400 for our squidoo pages. Today our monthly salaries were credited to our bank accounts. I forgot the number of my UTI Bank account. They decided to issue me a cheque. I knew that they are deducting a fixed amount of money from the salaries of those employees, who are taxpayers. I think the chartered accountant of our company is a brainless bloke. He is scared of income tax fellows. Deducting income tax, despite submission of relevant tax exemption proofs in time, shows the ignorance of these fellows. By 3:00 I knew from my KSS hostel mate Chiranjeevi Raju, over phone, that K S R K Raju committed suicide yesterday night in his room in the KSS Hostel. Went to this hostel by 6:30. He is at the final stage of his MCA course now. We knew that he did not pass many subjects till now. He ended his life to escape from this struggle and strain. He is only male child to his parents. He is about 24. He left a suicide note stating that nobody is responsible for his death. His father is a Rural Medical Practitioner (RMP). His dead body turned stiff by this morning. It was taken out by 3:30 this afternoon by his relatives in Hyderabad. I regret it. Went to sleep by 10:15.

9 May (Wednesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 7:45. Reached Hyderguda by 8:00. Had my breakfast in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:15. Spent reading Eenadu for 20 minutes at our office. Today I typed out six articles on the assigned topics. Had a plate of Vegetable Biryani in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 1:30. Afternoon typed out my name in Google search bar and checked the results. I came across a blog in which the blogger remarked at me addressing Saakshi O Juneja. He or she used the phrases “moronic stalker” and “Google love” judging my character. These phrases infuriated me. He or she read the blog written by Saakshi about me where the latter called me a fucker. This creature thinks that Saakshi treated me very well and that I will remember her forever for this reason. Instantly typed out and posted a four-page comment on this blog site questioning him or her why he or she wrote so addressing me. I think it serves as an eye-opener to this creature. By today my earnings through AdSense of Google is $13.84 and my bonus earned on Associated Content is $0.3. Evening our Finance Manager Carmen Catacat gave me a cheque of the UTI Bank worth 13,900 rupees. It is my salary for the month of April after income tax deduction of 1200 rupees. They did not pay me for my five working days in March. The CA and accounts manager of our company seem to be dullards. They are deducting income tax for safety sake. This is the hell with mediocre start-ups. Left the office by 6:30. Deposited my cheque in the drop box at the ATM Centre of UTI Bank in Windsor Plaza by 8:00. Went to sleep by 10:00.

10 May (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Reached Hyderguda by 8:15. Had a plate of Upma for 13 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe. Entered our office by 8:30. Today I edited and finalized the articles written by my team members. I was sent an SMS by the programmed machines of UTI Bank stating that my salary was credited to my account. This morning my cousin Kiran came to our office on his bike and lent me 200 rupees. I have not yet received the ATM pin number of this bank account. I don’t have time to go to this bank and withdraw money. Afternoon felt like getting photographed in a photo studio for my passport size photos. Special offer notice at a nearby studio stated that one can get 70 photos for 50 rupees only. Got photographed in navy blue shirt and dark blue trousers. Then had a plate of Vegetable Biryani for 20 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe. Left the office by 6:15. Walked to this photo studio and collected my passport size photos. They are looking ugly. They are digital photos. He said that color fades away soon. I regretted taking a wrong step. I felt like throwing them all into a dustbin. I don’t like seeing and using such photos. They present me badly to others. Today I found an elaborate analysis of my personality typed out and posted by the owner of blog site called “Spaceman Spiff”. It is an anonymous living entity. This online review presents me as an immoral stalker and womanizer. She did not read my blogs on beauty, girls and women. She is a pseudo-feminist. She collected relevant information for her write-up. I liked her guts and wit in criticizing me. She posted a disclaimer in the beginning of this analysis as they do it for feature films. Instantly typed out and posted a four-page response to it on her blog site. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. Went to sleep by 9:00.

11 May (Friday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 7:30. Recently the staff of APSRTC decided not to run buses from today onwards. They want to achieve their demands from the state government this way going on strike. I decided to go to our office on foot if they don’t ply buses today. I found buses on roads and felt relieved. Reached Hyderguda by 7:45. Had a plate of Upma for 13 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe. Scanned Eenadu at our office for 20 minutes. Today I edited and finalized 30 articles written by my team members. The blog site of Spaceman Spiff is www.spacemanspiff.wordpress.com. I think this entity is a female because the header of her blog site is “Mom Knows Everything”. My four-page response is not posted after her review of my personality on her blog site. If I remain silent, others think that whatever she wrote about me is right and that I agree with her statements. To defend myself from her unfair remarks, typed out and posted a short blog on my blog site today. The title of this blog is “I am a bad guy”. In it, I informed my blog readers to read her comments about me on her blog site. Left the office by 6:10. Reached my abode by 7:00. I felt like going somewhere. Met my cousin Shiva in his rented abode at Nallakunta and spent talking with him for five minutes. From there, proceeded to KSS Hostel on foot. Anjaneya Raju and I bought a parcel of plate meal for 30 rupees and came to my abode near Shankar Mutt by 9:00. We had it together. I prepared a list of things and the money to be spent on them. It amounted to 11,000 rupees. Went to sleep by 11:00.

12 May (Saturday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to KSS Hostel by 8:00. My friend Anjaneya Raju and I left for Jubilee Hills by 8:30 by a city bus. We reached the branch office of UTI Bank opposite Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s public school by 9:30. I went into it to withdraw my money from my savings account. They said that they don’t pay money without a cheque. They don’t issue passbooks. I did not like this senseless system. I expressed my concern to them. Collected an envelope carrying my ATM pin number. We returned to my abode by 10:30. Withdrew 8400 rupees from the ATM Centre of UTI Bank in Windsor Plaza by 11:00. Repaid 1400 rupees to Anji. Gave 1000 rupees to Varun Varma towards my share of room rent for this month. Gave 3000 rupees to Balaram asking him to give it to Rajani. Sent 2200 rupees to home by post for my mother. She has no enough money to buy medicines for her high blood pressure. My father is a miser. Saw Telugu film “Munnaa” of Prabhas in cinema Konark at Dilsukh Nagar from 3:00 to 6:00. Went to Vanasthalipuram by 6:30. Withdrew 2000 rupees from the ATM Centre of UTI Bank there and repaid it to my cousin Murali. Went to sleep by 11:00.

13 May (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. The “Upanayanam” occasion of my cousin Murali took place from 8:30 to 10:00. There were very few guests. My cousin Kiran and I were the chief guests there. Murali did not like it. Others did not appreciate his defiance of tradition. We spent talking with our relatives from 10:00 to 1:00. We had formal lunch by 1:30. Bala and I saw the Telugu film “Aata” in cinema Sampoorna at Vanasthalipuram from 3:00 to 6:00. Kiran and I left Self Finance Colony on his bike by 6:15. Took a bath by 9:00. Today it was hot. Went to sleep by 10:00.

14 May (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe for 13 rupees. Spent reading Eenadu for 10 minutes. Today I did not do office related work till 4:00. Nick Dunin came and explained our work schedule. Morning typed out and posted a blog on my blog site. It is my response to the elaborate analysis of my character done by Spaceman Spiff on her blog site. I titled it “Mom Knows Almost Nothing”. An anonymous entity left a long comment on this blog. Her identity is “Oka Manishi”, two Telugu words, which mean “One Person” in English. She reproached me violently. She used Telugu language but wrote it in English. She challenged me to publish her comment. I did it instantly after reading it in my email. Translated her words in Telugu into English and posted it below her comment. She left another comment.  It is worse than the first one. She used many abusive words to enrage me. Posted a comment without using offensive language like her. I suspect that it may be Gita of our company. She is about 35. She sounds feministic. Somehow she developed aversion towards me. She is an anonymous entity on Orkut. She cannot compete with a realist and dreamer like me. She chose this hide-and-seek for this reason. Today she did not come to the office. She has been on leave for the last four days. She knows my blog site address. Only one with a biased view about men or very little understanding about me can write such comments. I pity her. I think she is suffering from inferiority complex. Returned to my abode by 6:30. Spent some time at the abode of Rajani. Night talked with my brother Sambha for 10 minutes over my cellphone. Went to sleep by 11:00.

15 May (Tuesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma for 13 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Spent reading Eenadu for 10 minutes. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Today I typed out eight articles on credit for people with bankruptcy. These are meant for the netizens of the USA. Today I found another blog site on the site of Spaceman Spiff. It is titled “The one where I educate Datla Chiranjeevi Raju”. In this blog, she tried to infuriate me using abusive words. Her blog readers tried to offend me through their comments on her blog site and related write-ups on their blog sites also. They are actually making me a little famous this way on the Internet. I enjoyed this game. Typed out and posted a short blog on my blog site titled “A moral for all”. In it, I presented a short story. I compared myself with a swan on a lake and them with stray dogs and pigs. I stated towards the end of this story “Even a million dogs cannot defame a swan through their mad barking at it”. “Oka Manishi” wrote a poem scolding me. I posted this comment on my blog site. Neha Viswanathan is a blogger. She is living in London with her husband. She was also blasted by Spaceman Spiff in the latter’s blog site when the prior left a short comment on it. She is into English literature and poetry writing. She studied at Lady Shri Ram College in New Delhi. I recalled Nupur Jain. I sent a four-page email to her inviting her friendship. Rani Choudhary is a blogger, working in Bangalore now. She left a comment on my latest blog. She must be reading my blogs for long. She wrote that I faced a storm of criticism from others calmly like Mahatma Gandhi. I posted her comment also on my blog site. Returned to my abode by 7:00. Had my parcel supper along with Balaram by 9:00. Went to sleep by 9:30.

16 May (Wednesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Reached Hyderguda by 8:15. Entered our office by 8:40. Today I did not do much work related to my job. Neha Viswanathan emailed me from London. Her reply to my four-page email is “Please fuck off”. I failed to understand what kind of a female she is! These are the words modern educated Indian girls use addressing unfamiliar boys. “Oka Manishi” left a comment on my blog site. She wrote that “Rani Choudhary” is a fictional entity created by her to fool me. This anonymous entity may be either Gita or some other Telugu girl very familiar to Spaceman Spiff. I could not detect who this entity is, looking at the email id of the sender. Even Spaceman Spiff is replying using the same email id to me. When I tried to reply to that email id, it bounced. I understood that these two entities are scared to face me directly. A ferocious lion should not chase two cowardly rats. I told Richard East about this email game. He tried to trace that criminal but in vain. Typed out and posted a blog titled “Please fuck off” on my blog site describing the nature of modern educated Indian girls. I wrote towards the end of this blog that I don’t like to follow the route of hate speech in blogging. I decided to refrain myself from this dark facet of blogging at once. I understood that these anonymous bloggers are like rats in dark holes. They cannot show their faces to a cat. Came back to my abode by 7:30. Talked with my mother and father over my cellphone for 20 minutes about their well-being. Had my parcel supper along with Balaram by 9:00. Today also it was very hot in twin cities. Went to sleep by 10:15.

17 May (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:30. Washed a pair of clothes. Had a bath by 7:45. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Reached Hyderguda by 8:20. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Today I edited 20 articles written by two writers on bankruptcy and bad credit. Afternoon Gita came to our office. I knew that she was recently sacked from our company. She came to our second floor to meet our general manager. She avoided even looking at me. Today I noticed that about 400 creatures visited my blog site recently. Earlier it used to be about 25 visitors or so for a week. This heavy traffic of visitors is due to the two blogs of Spaceman Spiff where she wrote very badly about me. Saakshi called me a moron and advised Spaceman to ignore me. I liked her beauty. She detested my life. Today also some entities left their comments on my blog site. They used abusive words addressing me. One of them advised me on how to express love to a girl. He considers my writing a love letter to Swagata Gupta foolish. He left that comment on my blog site where I posted that love letter as it is. I understood that these are all stray dogs. I did not like to reply to them nor educate them. No dreamer could ever reform rocks living in the form of humans. Afternoon Pooja called me from New Delhi. I suspected that she might be one of the gang members of Spaceman Spiff. I asked my team member Neel Kusum to attend that call. She may not be a mad dog set on me by that anonymous blogger. I cannot talk with dogs. Returned to my abode by 6:40. Spent reading Telugu film weekly Sitara for 20 minutes. Spent talking with my cousin Kiran for some time. He is a gem of character and likes me a lot. Had my parcel supper along with Balaram by 9:30. Went to sleep by 10:15 for my dreams.

18 May (Friday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Reached Hyderguda by 8:20. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Today I finalized 55 articles written by my writer team working on computer most of the day. Evening emailed the weekly report to East Richard specifying the daily work carried out by each of us six content writers. Today I found that Spaceman Spiff kept my name and my blog site link in a special category titled “Moronic Stalker Datla Chiranjeevi Raju”. This link on her blog site directs her blog readers to my blog site. They start reading my blogs from the perspective she tried to project about me. I bore with her rudeness and indiscipline till now. She posted my details towards the end of a list of bloggers she hates personally. If I remain silent now, many bloggers, who visit her blog site by choice or chance, may take me as a fool, which is not true at all. I decided to teach a lesson to her. Typed out and sent a two-page email to the supervisors of WordPress. In it, I explained them why my lawyer is going to file a lawsuit against this blogger. I asked for a reply from them within a week’s time providing me with her details and their rational and justifiable answers to the questions posed by me in this regard. I typed out this message very powerfully expressing my anger at the indecency of that anonymous blogger. This afternoon a bomb blast occurred in the Mecca Masjid near Charminar in Hyderabad. A few Muslims died there. Some sustained serious injuries. It is a result of Islamic terrorism in India. Night saw Telugu film “Aata” in cinema Odeon along with Rajani and Balaram. Went to sleep by 12:30.

19 May (Saturday)

Woke up by 5:30 in the abode of Rajani at DD Colony. Read Eenadu for half an hour and went to Osmania University campus on his bike along with him by 7:30. Students were playing in the spacious ground there. We did morning walk for half an hour around this ground. We talked about films and politics in Andhra Pradesh. Lok Satta must win in the coming election if this state has to develop. Voters in Andhra Pradesh must be considered foolish and narrow-minded if it does not happen. He got me have health drinks when coming back after our morning walk. We had breakfast by 9:30 in his abode. We watched television for some time. I rested on a bed for two hours. Balaram and I brought a full meal parcel from Shirdi Sai Baba Mess by 2:00. Three of us had it by 2:30. I rested again for one hour. I felt dizzy after getting out of bed. I cursed my body. Three of us went to Malkajgiri in the car of Rajani by 4:00. He had to meet somebody there. Balaram and I returned to our rented abode by 7:00. We avoided having supper. It was very hot. Went to sleep by 10:00.

20 May (Sunday)

Woke up by 5:30. Had my breakfast at a nearby hotel by 7:30. Spent reading Eenadu for two hours. Balaram and I went to the rented abode of Rajani by 12:00. It was very hot. We spent there watching television till 2:00. Then I started to Dilsukh Nagar. Bought a 33-rupee ticket for 60 rupees in the black. Saw the Telugu film “Aadavaari Maatalaku Ardhaale Verule” of Venkatesh and Trisha from 3:00 to 6:00 in cinema Konark. It drizzled by 6:00. Returned to my abode by 7:00. Night talked with my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani for 30 minutes. Went to sleep by 10:00.

21 May (Monday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 7:45. Reached Hyderguda by 8:15. Had a plate of Upma for 13 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:40. Took my seat of work by 8:50. Today our chief Richard East did not assign us work. We spent reading and seeing this and that on the Internet. Today Spaceman Spiff posted a short article on her blog site about a person, who blackmailed some girls collecting their personal information while chatting online. He threatened them with posting their photos on a pornographic website unless they pay him the money he demanded. Police caught him. Spaceman included my name in that blog and wrote that I may also be a potential threat to girls and women on the Internet. I did not like her mentality. It is how she understands an admirer of beauty. Today I left two comments on the blog sites of two bloggers. Cherry is living and studying in the USA now. She is 17. She is creative, intelligent and sensitive. I liked her face with glasses, her profile, hobbies and interests. I found her a good girl. I wrote to her to scan a little on my blog site and write back something about its quality. Another blogger, identifying himself as “Ash” writes blogs on love, failure and pain. Recently he posted a blog describing how girls play with the lives of girls and boys if they are honest and sensitive. Many modern educated Indian girls are egoistic and self-centered. I left a long comment there supporting his views on girls and love. Came back to my abode by 7:00. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:00. Went to sleep by 9:00 for my dreams.

22 May (Tuesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Reached Hyderguda by 8:20. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Even today Richard East did not assign us work. My team members enjoyed watching their favorite sites on the Internet and reading this and that. Today Spaceman Spiff wrote about an event that took place in Karnataka. An MLA of BJP Party kissed a nurse. The related photos came out. Spaceman tried to relate me to this event. I write about female beauty and post beautiful photos on my blog site. It is a crime in her view. Two visitors left their comments on my articles on Associated Content. One is a boy from Chennai and the other is a girl from the USA. She wrote that she likes reading my stuff. He wrote that my observations are great. This article is on the bad qualities of modern educated Indian girls. Today I posted eight short stories on this site copying them from my blog site of Google. These stories are meant for entertaining all. About 200 content producers are posting their pieces of writing on Associated Content. My right eye is turning red by afternoon every day due to constant contact with LCD computer monitor. Richard East seems to be a frugal creature. There are neither anti-glare glasses for us nor power generator for our office. Power cuts disturb our work a lot. Food items are expensive at Swathi Coffee Shoppe in Hyderguda. My roommates are not disciplined guys. I like to move into some other rented portion. It costs me much. My cousin Kiran has to join me. He likes to stay back in that hostel at Kachiguda along with his friends. Money makes many things. I don’t have enough of it now. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:00. Went to sleep by 9:00.

23 May (Wednesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Reached Hyderguda by 8:20. Had a plate of Upma for 13 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:45. Today I typed out two articles on Honda cars. Today offer letters were given to the staff in our office. I found that Cherry deleted my long comment on her blog site in which I wrote about the injured feminist psyche of Spaceman Spiff, a blogger. She is 17. She must have thought that her life also gets spoilt if she indulges in this mess! I regretted leaving a significant comment on the blog site of such cowardly girl. Today Saakshi wrote about a ‘blogger meeting’ to take place on the 9^th of next month in Mumbai. She informed bloggers to register their names in advance and attend this event. She remarked that even stalkers are welcome but they would be killed there. She addressed me indirectly. I found it satirical. Today Richa Gupta sent an email to me asking me to post blogs on her new portal www.blogliterati.com. It is a formal message sent to all her friends on Mingle Box. Evening it turned cool and drizzled for a few minutes. Varun Varma told me about love in his life. He was in love with a very beautiful girl for six years in his schooldays. Later she got married to a fellow working in Dubai. Thereafter about 30 girls and ladies expressed their love for him. He did not take it seriously. Many married women wanted to have sex with him. He found it crazy and so avoided indulging in it. He liked friendship only with them. He said that he does not believe in the love of girls. Went to sleep by 10:00.

24 May (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:30. Reached Hyderguda by 8:20 by a city bus. Took my seat of work by 8:45. Today I typed out eight articles on Honda car and some places in the United States of America. Returned to my abode by 7:15. In this bus, I found a boy crying when the bus conductor asked him for money to buy ticket. He must be 10. Tears in the eyes of such boy mean helplessness. I was hurt looking at his position. I recollected the days when I was caught in trains by ticket collectors when I was travelling without ticket. This boy looked more innocent and immature than I was then. I gave him a 10-rupee note and asked him to buy something. Another passenger gave him a little amount of money. India is not a poor country today but basic Indian psyche is poor and selfish. If every Indian stops smoking, drinking and going to prostitutes, India looks great to insiders and outsiders as well. Bought a copy of Sitara and read it for half an hour. Talked with my mother and brothers for 10 minutes over my Reliance cellphone. I knew that recently the parents of three girls did not consider me as a suitable guy for their daughters. I am not a software engineer, NRI, celebrity or business magnet now. Present educated girls are not interested in dreamers but earners. My Lord Krishna knows well when to get me married. I am enjoying the game of my parents in searching for a suitable bride for me. This evening I knew a bitter truth about a young Telugu film actress, whom I consider an angel of beauty and whose photos I posted on my blog site. Two guys booked her body for sex for 20000 rupees in Hotel Central Court for this night. They provide her with alcohol before indulging in it. I took much time to digest this bitter truth. I am dying slowly as a dreamer. Went to sleep by 9:30.

25 May (Friday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Took my seat of work by 8:45. Morning read two articles written by Jaleh Donaldson on Associated Content. One is on tips on how to motivate a woman for sex and the other is on the attractions of a restaurant in Sacramento. I left my comments on both. Also posted some comments on other articles. Today I edited 36 articles written by four members in my team. Today I finalized 46 articles and found my performance in this week good. Spaceman Spiff and her gang of friends are still writing badly on their blog sites about me. I was hurt reading the abusive words used by them. They call themselves feminists. Their job is picking up quarrels with boys and men and writing this and that about them beyond their knowledge. I cannot believe that they are girls. They rape handsome boys and file lawsuits in courts complaining that they were raped. They are cowardly creatures and immoral bitches. They kill the love of men for women. Dizziness is attacking me frequently. It might be partly due to mango flavored chocolates I am consuming now and then and partly because of some other reason which only a medical test can detect. I have no money to get myself tested. God has a plan for me. He does not kill me beyond that schedule. Emailed a five-page report to Richard East by 7:10 specifying the details of work carried out by writers in my team this week. Varun Varma and I had a parcel meal in our abode by 8:30. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

Asked him to pay my Reliance bill of last month for me at the nearby outlet. Went to Global View Internet café by Shivam Road by 10:15. Typed out a six-page letter and emailed it to advocate C S N Raju of Cyberabad Legal Services. It is about my intention to file a lawsuit against Spaceman Spiff. It is to make her realize how wrong she had been calling me “Maronic Stalker”. I attached three word files for proofs. I requested him not to discourage me in this regard. Left this Internet café by 1:15. Anji brought a parcel of meal from Kakatiya Mess by 2:00. We had it by 2:30. He recently fell in love with a Kshatriya girl. He is losing sleep for this reason. I liked his love for that girl. He wants to strengthen his life financially soon and then marry her. She is in Guntur now with her parents. We saw the Telugu film “Nee Navve Chaalu” in cinema Sri Mayuri from 6:00 to 8:30. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 9:30. Went to sleep by 10:00.

Today I typed out eight articles on Toyota cars and some places in the USA. Morning my team member Chinmayee Patnaik informed me that she is getting married on the 17^th of this July. She wants leave for one month for this occasion. I did not object her intention. Her leave application has to be emailed to me, Richard East and our HR manager. My right eye is turning red by afternoon. I have to either buy glasses or get anti-glare screen fixed on my computer. I cannot buy glasses now. They won’t arrange that screen for me. Giddiness is chasing me anyway. I don’t like health disorders trapping me when I am financially weak. I am trying to get on with these problems. Evening it turned cool. I observed it when I went up for fresh air. We cannot enjoy it in the office because air is conditioned there. Evening our assistant HR manager informed me to prepare a job confirmation letter for the employees that completed three months of their probation. I prepared one and emailed her. She showed me a letter prepared by her. Returned to my abode by 7:00. Had four mango fruit. The relatives of Varun Varma sent him mangoes this morning. They are ripened artificially applying chemicals. Talked with my cousin Shiva for half an hour. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman. It was cloudy and cool. It healed my weary body.

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma for 13 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:45. Today I edited 25 articles written by three writers in my team. Today I filled in the information related to my profile in my Flickr account. I found that Saakshi blocked me from commenting about her photos on Flickr. I deleted two comments I made earlier about her photos. I have no enough time to devote for my loved ones also. Why should I bother with people that misunderstand or defame me in some manner? I think Saakshi is a nut in matters of love with human beings. She is living in her world of dogs and shallow bloggers. She can understand what she missed in her life only in the eleventh hour. This afternoon Sona conducted a written test for the position of content writer. Her name is Pavani. I gave her 65 marks for 100 after reading her article on ‘Training Dogs’ and her views on the qualities of a writer. Two female writers from my team are going on leave soon. Richard East told me to recruit male writers if possible. I told him that Indians take long leaves now and then for occasions like marriage. Men are also part of this culture. In fact, I found the three females in my team more loyal and disciplined than males. I also know that all these five think that I don’t know much about how they are working here daily. Let them live with those illusions. They are good. Collected my parcel of 100 mangoes from the branch office of Navata Road Transport at Vidya Nagar by 6:45. My brother Sambha sent it to me from Adduroad. Took it to the abode of Rajani in an auto rickshaw. They are not ripe yet. Had a plate of rice in Hotel Shanthi Deluxe by 9:00. Went to sleep by 9:30.

Afternoon typed out seven articles on Ford cars and some counties in the USA. Left the office by 6:00 and reached my abode by 6:30. Varun Varma and his father were in our abode. His father came this morning from Kodada. Varun’s elder brother is in Sydney now. He is studying there. He fell in love with a beautiful Punjabi girl studying there. They were in love for about two years and also decided to marry soon. Recently this girl went to Canada for her further studies. Her photos and videos appeared on YouTube of Google. She complained against him in a police station. The fact is she only posted those morphed photos on the Internet. She fell in love with a rich and handsome guy in Canada. To end her love story with this ordinary Telugu guy, she chose this dirty path. She wants to get rid of him torturing him this way. He could not contact her by phone or email during the last six months. This case is with the CBCID in Hyderabad now. She is from Hyderabad. The parents of Varun are much disturbed about this case now. That wicked fox is playing this dirty game. Indian law is in favor of girls and women. Some bitches are misusing our laws in India like this. This snobby girl can never enjoy true love in her life. She is playing with the life of her innocent and sensitive lover. A sex worker is better than her. God punishes her severely one day for this sin. Had my parcel meal in our abode by 9:30. It was cool outside. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

31 May (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had my breakfast in Swathi Coffee Shoppe. Took my seat of work by 8:25. Today I typed out four articles linking Ford cars and some places in the USA. Today I typed out a blog titled “Mongyo and I in Conversation”. There are about 1300 words in it. This blog discusses love in a satirical tone. Posted this blog in my space on Associated Content. Spent about five hours reading blogs and scanning photos on Blogger of Google and Flickr of Yahoo. Left my comments on some blogs and photos. Today, Srikanth, one of our three systems administrators, and Sam, the Australian guy, celebrated their birthdays. All the staff members attended this small function in the meeting room on the terrace. Some guys smeared the cream of cake on the face and head of Srikanth. Faraz, our general manager, called a meeting and instructed everybody to avoid such dirty acts hereafter. It spoils their costly clothes and birthday mood. I liked his advice to all. I hate this culture. Today my writers could not complete their work in time. I gave them a lot of time to do it. I could complete the same amount of work in six hours’ time. They could not do it in 12 hours’ time. Today I got an email from a company in Mumbai. They want an editor. I emailed my CV. Left the office by 6:05. Bought a copy of Telugu film weekly Sitara and reached my abode by 7:00. Spent reading it for 20 minutes. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. I called up advocate C S N Raju for about six times during the last three days. He is not attending my calls. I don’t know whether he read my email or not about filing a lawsuit against the anonymous blogger Spaceman Spiff. Went to sleep by 9:00 for my dreams.

1 June (Friday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of puris for 18 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Today I edited 30 articles written by my writers. Returned to my abode by 7:00. I smelled bad air in our rooms. Fungus developed on the fish soup in a dish left on our electric heater by Balaram. It was the primary source of this bad smell. Cracked egg shells, onion skins, mango peels and polythene bags added perfection to this scene of mess. Neither Varun nor Balaram ever think of making it and keeping it clean. I am like an old and odd man in this abode. If I want to see it differently, I must indulge in it. I often tell them that I am a disciplined guy. They leave some things to be carried out by disciplinarians only. I put them in some polythene bags and dropped them in the nearby public garbage collection container. Hired an auto rickshaw and moved to the abode of Rajani at DD Colony by 7:30. My raw mangoes kept closed in a wooden shelf some days ago ripened. I ate three mango fruit from them. Rajani had five. We went to Dilsukh Nagar by 8:50 in his car. He spent talking with two familiar masons there. We four had Mutton Biryani in a hotel there by 11:00. Recently Rajani got a beautiful house constructed in their village Jeelugumilli in West Godavari district. He spent about 20 lakhs on it. These expert masons from Miryalaguda give final touches of decoration to his house there. He said that this house is his gift to his parents living there. We returned to his abode by 11:20. Balaram and I came back to our abode by 11:30. Went to sleep by 12:00.

2 June (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:30. Went to the abode of Rajani by 9:30 on foot. It was cloudy and cool. I enjoyed this stroll. He was not there. He called me up and advised me to enjoy reading books in the nearby public library. Went there and spent reading weeklies for one hour. My friend Balaram joined me in the mean time. Today we ate many mango fruit. Spent in Rajani’s abode till 4:00 watching television and reading newspaper. Then we started to Jubilee Hills in his car. We reached the abode of our friend Veeranjaneyulu in Journalist Colony ‘A’ by 5:00. I took five mango fruit for him. We spent there talking till 7:00. Veeru is daily going to the office of Nagendra Babu for teaching painting to him. He is enjoying his evenings in the company of a great person in the Telugu film industry. We reached Necklace Road by Hussain Sagar by 8:00. We enjoyed watching beauty and pleasant presence of visitors there for one hour. We returned to Rajani’s abode by 9:30. We watched television till 12:00. I enjoyed this day due to the goodness of Rajani. Went to sleep by 12:30.

My cousin Kiran came to our office by 8:50 and gave me 38,000 rupees. He gave me the details of his father’s account with Andhra Bank at Jaggampeta and asked me to deposit this money into that account. There was no Internet access to computers in our office from 10:00 to 2:30. My team member Philip Praveen and I went to the branch of Andhra Bank at Himayat Nagar by 10:45 on his bike. I deposited this money within 15 minutes. This deposited money was transferred into my teacher uncle’s account online. They charged 76 rupees for this online money transfer service. We returned to our office by 11:20. We enjoyed talking among ourselves till 2:30. Evening I conducted written tests to two candidates for the position of content writer. One is a girl. The other is a boy. Both have M.A. English Literature degrees. I did not find them suitable for this position. Talented and experienced content writers demand high salaries. They don’t like joining our company at low salaries. I found this girl adaptable and informed about it to our HR Executive Sailaja. Today I posted four short stories on my content producer’s page on Associated Content, copying them from my blog site on the Blogger of Google. Today it is the birthday of my master S P Bala Subrahmanyam. I could not celebrate it. Evening withdrew 200 rupees from an ATM Centre of UTI Bank. Had my parcel supper by 9:00 along with Balaram. Went to sleep by 9:30.

5 June (Tuesday)

Today I typed out 10 articles on Chevrolet cars and some places in the USA. Cold attacked me by 9:30. Went up for every 10 minutes to blow my nose. I cursed it. I borrowed Vicks Vaporub from my team member Chinmayee Patnaik and applied much of it on my nose, cheeks and throat. It could not avoid it. I suffered from it throughout the day. Today I left a comment on the blog site of Saakshi O Juneja. She wrote about the first day of her niece at a nursery school in Mumbai. I found this three-year-old kid very cute and beautiful. She did not delete my comment from there. Evening I was asked to fill in a form. It shows our plan of investment to escape from the income tax on our salaries. I contacted my cousin Kiran over my cellphone. I already decided to take out a policy of Life Insurance Corporation of India. I wanted to invest 50,000 rupees every year in it. He advised me to put it at 40,000 rupees. I finalized it. This is just to save myself from the axe of Income tax department like a typical middle-class Indian. My future will not be economically insecure. Evening deleted all the photos of Poonam Kaur from my Flickr account. I thought it is necessary. I considered her as a goddess of beauty. Recently I knew that she is a bitch. I heard much about the characters of actors and actresses in the Indian film industry. They would be after money, alcohol and pleasures of body. I uploaded the photos of Meera Jasmin. I don’t like to bother about her character. I pity her. Came back to my abode by 7:00. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:00. Switched off my cellphone by 8:30. Went to sleep by 9:00 on our terrace for my dreams.

6 June (Wednesday)

Cold attacked me in the evening. I found it embarrassing. I posted a long letter to the Chief Justice of India about 100 days ago. It was a registered post with acknowledgement card. I did not receive even the acknowledgement card till now. I did not think that the folks of Supreme Court of India can be so unreliable. The blokes of India Post are also criminals to some extent in this regard. I cannot deal with Google in a corrupt country like India. Chief Justice of India would have talked with the folks of Google. Since I demanded 80 crore rupees from Google, he would have settled it for less than that out of court. It is known as “Alternative Dispute Resolution”. This is a nation of beggars. Even Chief Justice of India can be a big beggar. He goes home soon after his retirement from this service. He has to beg a lot before leaving this job. His brother is advocate C S N  Raju. I sent an email to him 10 days ago. I called him up many times. He is not attending his cellphone. I specified in this email that I cannot spend more than 1000 rupees on this case against the anonymous blogger Spaceman Spiff. Now he is earning well. My case looks trivial to him. The other day he said that I am not being in touch with him by email. Only a fool can be in touch with a lawyer who checks his email once a year or so! I don’t know whether I should consider him another beggar or not. These creatures should know about the power of acknowledgement. Went to sleep by 9:00 for my dreams.

7 June (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:00. It was drizzling. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:20. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Today I edited 10 articles and typed out six articles. Today I got an email from Lovelein in British Columbia. She is still reading my personal diaries emailed to her earlier. She asked me to teach some Telugu sentences to her by email for casual use by her. I replied her with it. Afternoon a strange thing happened. The toilet to which I went was kept closed from inside. When I was returning, it was opened by a girl. This toilet is meant for gents only. She would not have understood it because there was no display information on it to this effect. When I was telling our office boy to do something and avoid confusion in this setting, she came seriously to him, told something to him and rushed away. I felt as if I was a criminal in this setting. Her friend stood outside the toilet. They exchanged a few words about me. A boy would not have behaved like her in this setting. Gender plays an important role in India. Pseudo-feminists don’t recognize this fact. Today I finalized the recruitment of Radha as a content writer. Today I left a long comment on the blog site of Saakshi. One of her friends wrote against celebrating the birthday of Lord Krishna as Valentine’s Day in India. I supported his views on it and appreciated his blog. Saakshi indirectly warned me not to leave comments on her blog site. She deleted my comment posted on her blog titled “Nursery Time” in which she wrote about the first day of her niece at a nursery school. Bought a copy of Sitara and returned to my abode by 7:00. Spent reading it for half an hour. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:20. It was cool and rainy. I enjoyed its spell. Went to sleep by 9:00 for my dreams.

She is a beautiful, intelligent and creative girl from Mumbai. Today I posted eight short stories on this blog site of mine copying them from my blog site on Google. Richa feels happy about this gesture from me. Evening my last month’s salary was credited to my UTI Bank account. They deducted 1100 rupees for income tax and service tax purposes. They did not pay for my five working days in the month of March. These two things infuriated me. I talked seriously with Sona Pudi about it. She advised me to talk with Carmen Catacat about it. She is the chief executive in matters of finance in our office. Richard East brought her from Romania. She is very beautiful. She likes me but because we don’t have interaction as colleagues, she maintains carelessness towards me. When I talked with her about it, she said that she would look into it. Evening I talked with Sailaja, a traffic assistant in our office. She looks like Deepthi. Her voice is also sweet like Deepthi’s. I told her about Deepthi. I appreciated her voice. She felt happy. She got a pleasant face. Emailed the weekly report to Richard East and left the office by 7:00. Evening my teacher uncle Venkata Rama Raju and his wife Subba Lakshmi started from Samalkot Junction by Visakha Express to Hyderabad. Withdrew 10500 rupees from the ATM Centre of UTI Bank by 8:00. It was cool. Went to sleep by 10:00.

Rajani dropped us at Prasads Multiplex in his car by 10:00. Kiran came there on his bike. We four enjoyed ourselves watching people and eating till 11:10. We returned to KSS Hostel by 11:30. Went to sleep by 12:15 in my abode.

Evening I explored and tested a system-based product, which we are going to release into market soon. Today I saw Carmen Catacat in the room of Richard. She was looking fantastic. I felt like telling her “I love you”. She is a temple of beauty. Today I got my salary slip. They did it very simply. Today I posted eight short stories on my site of Associated Content, copying them from my blog site on Google. Today Saakshi posted the photos related to a “Bloggers Meeting” she attended recently in Mumbai. Eating and drinking are the main events of this meeting. I don’t think that I belong to this lot of bloggers. Today Radha did not join our company as a content writer as scheduled. Richard told me not to allow her. He does not know that Indians are known for procrastination and carelessness. Left the office by 6:10. Went to the abode of Rajani by 7:00. Made four mango fruit ready for him to eat. He met me near KSS Hostel when I was coming back from his abode. He told me that he is becoming fair after eating these mango fruit. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman opposite Shankar Mutt temple by 8:50. Talked with my brother Sambha for 10 minutes over my cellphone. He would send me mangoes soon along with my cousin Vasu. It will be his last parcel of mangoes to me in this season. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

12 June (Tuesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Went to bus stop by 8:15. There was no time to have breakfast. Had three bananas and a small glass of hot milk at the pushcart near our office. Took my seat of work by 9:05. Today I did not do much office work. There was power cut from 2:30 to 5:30. Today our writer team was asked to speak to our traffic assistants about the topics of writing and spinning articles. I am not a good speaker. Somehow we managed with it from 4:30 to 5:30. Writers must have creativity, patience, intelligence, love for or anger at the world, and a burning desire to be known to many through their writings. Speakers must possess great communication skills. This evening I saw that special beauty at the bus stop. Every evening she comes there from the lane of our office along with two or three of her friends. She has all the qualities I am looking for in a girl to marry. I feel like asking her to marry me. I am ready to live for a day with her as her sweetheart and die next day. Her impressive beauty and sweet voice can inspire me as a writer. How can I express my desire to her? Bus stop is not a fitting place for such things. I don’t know where she is living or working! I don’t know if she got a lover or not! She appears talking with somebody always over her cellphone. It may be her lover. She must be a North Indian girl. This is how an admirer suffers thinking about his inaccessible beloved. It’s all pain and struggle internally. That expression never takes place. Self-pity resulting from that failure settles in his heart. This is why a dreamer cannot marry his sweetheart in many cases. Night peeled five mango fruit for Rajani in his abode. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. Went to sleep by 10:00.

13 June (Wednesday)

Today I edited two questionnaires prepared by our marketing research team. This morning Radha joined my team as a writer. We could not arrange a computer system for her. One writer taught her how to spin articles. Evening I told her to sit reading some English book. Today Richard East reluctantly accepted the leave applications of Chinmayee Patnaik and Neel Kusum. I sensed that he does not like to grant leaves to his employees. Today I sent an email to Vibha Tyagi at Birla Institute of Scientific Research. She is a researcher there. She must be 45. I invited her to read my blogs, see the photos and write back something. Today I sent an email to the Hyderabad Centre of ISKCON. I wrote them that I want to marry an exceptionally beautiful girl with substantial intelligence and excellent creativity. I am a devotee of Lord Krishna. I want to marry a girl of this section. Today I sent an email of enquiry to the folks of Copyright Institute in London. This enquiry is related to applying for copyrights of my 12 books to be published soon by me. Left the office by 6:00. Reached the abode of Rajani by 7:00. Peeled five mango fruit for him. Had a little Vegetable Biryani brought by him. We went for a stroll by 8:00. We went into the gym at Indraprastha Colony. There were three girls in it. They threw looks at me. Rajani told me that one of those girls is a Kshatriya. She is a rich girl. I am a poor boy. I cannot ask her to marry me. Reached my abode by 8:30. It was rainy and cool. Went to sleep by 10:30.

14 June (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma for 13 rupees in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:20. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Today I spent reading much on Wikipedia. Typed out a two-page letter and emailed it to G Pratibha Devi of Lok Satta. This organization is being headed by Jaya Prakash Narayan. He is an intellectual of India. His movement is for reforming the present state of democracy in India. Recently he started a political party. I like his thoughts and vision for India. I read his articles in newspapers. I listened to his speeches. He has energy, idealism and patriotism. Their another initiative is Vote India. I applied for the position of communications specialist in it. I specified in my letter that I want to work closely with Jaya Prakash Narayan. I will carry out editing and writing works when there is no much work related to vision and strategy. I asked for a salary of 32,000 rupees per month. I also wrote that I can work with them for two years only at the most. My primary goal is to entertain and educate the world as a writer. I am still in the process of establishing myself as a writer. I hate politics. This party is trying to change the game of politics in India. The fate of India must be changed by visionaries and idealists like Jaya Prakash Narayan. I have to do something for this great man and his ideals. He is the hope and guide for a better India. Educated and ideal Indians stopped participating in the democratic process, seeing the evil of corruption and pollution in the political parties today. India needs leaders like Jaya Prakash Narayan. Making him a ruler is in the hands of voters. Peeled five mango fruit for Rajani in his abode. We two had supper in Kakatiya Mess by 9:00. It was cool and cloudy today. Went to sleep by 10:00.

This blog makes me believe that we are still friends. I am writing a little about the recent events in my life and my views on some things in this blog. It will be a 20-page blog. It would be very interesting and insightful. It is a token of my admiration for Deepthi after her marriage. Today I typed out 10 pages. Left the office by 6:40. Reached the abode of Rajani by 7:30. Peeled five mango fruit for him. We went to the house of his friend at ECIL by 8:40. He offered supper for us. I liked the mango pickle and potato curry served there.

This morning I sent a five-page email to the father of a girl. Yesterday I saw her matrimonial ad in The Hindu. She is beautiful, educated and a jobholder. I explained him what I am and what I am expecting from a girl. I think it shocks him. Today I knew that my team member Philip Praveen got a good job with a medical transcription company in Hyderabad. I know that our company cannot pay him that much salary. I talked with Richard East and Sona Pudi and made them understand his situation. I typed out a resignation letter for him. He emailed it to me. I forwarded it to our director Richard East and HR Manager Sona Pudi. He works with us till the end of this month. Evening sent an email to Deepthi. I wrote to her about Sailaja in our company. Both look alike. My desire is to make them friends if they like each other. I emailed three marriage photos of Deepthi to Sailaja. Recently Saakshi attended a blogger meeting in Pune. She posted the related photos on her blog site. She is looking fantastic in three of those photos. I left two comments appreciating her beauty.

Today I saw that great beauty at the bus stop. She looked at me twice. I felt like asking her to marry me. She can inspire me as a writer and dreamer. Communicating with a beautiful girl in such setting is difficult. She got two female friends with her. She left that place before me taking a city bus. I felt as if a goddess left me in a hell. Reached my abode by 7:00. Varun Varma and I left for Dilsukh Nagar on his bike. He rode it like a crazy guy. He said that he likes riding a bike very fast. I prayed God when he was riding his bike on road. His father kept mango fruit and a gas cylinder at a shop there for him. I held these two items sitting behind him on the bike. Rain chased us when we were coming back. I told him not to stop the bike. Rain and I are bosom friends. It rained a little and stopped. I thanked it. Today I ate two mango fruit. They are sweet and quality mangoes. My cousin Kiran could not eat even one mango brought by his father recently. He is very busy with his audit work at Ernst & Young. It is a nasty MNC.

She arranges a few bodybuilders to do it. This kidnap takes place on 8 August. She takes me to Shilparamam. There she talks with me for four hours. She asks me bout 40 questions. I answer her patiently. She asks me questions about my search for a bride to marry, the progress in my 12 book publishing work, my views on friendship, my admiration for her after her marriage, my bank balances, my interest in further studies and so on. This blog fills communication gap between us. It makes her believe that still I admire her. Creativity can build healthy bonds among humans. We cannot meet in reality now. I know that she is in Hyderabad. She knows that she can meet me on any day in Hyderabad if she wants. It is one of the great blogs I have written. Those that read this blog can understand my personality and thoughts to some extent. There is a little comedy also in it. I typed out and finalized this blog within three days.

I found it bitter but it is good for health. We put about 20 mango fruit in a polythene cover and kept it in his fridge. He wants to eat them later. He told me that the polythene cover protects the fruit from losing their natural flavor due to intense cold inside. Spent my time watching television and resting on his bed till 1:00.

Today I advised my content writers to be fast and efficient in their work at office. Today Jobin Mathew emailed us stating that he is willing to join us at our offered salary of 20,000 rupees per month. The problem is that we already recruited two content writers. We don’t need more content writers. Sona Pudi told me to email something to Jobin. I emailed him to wait for one or two days for the judgment of Richard East. Today I got an email from a girl on a matrimonial website. She wrote that she is interested in my bridegroom profile. I searched for her profile on that website using her bride profile id.

I also informed her about the salary we offered to pay him and why we could not recruit him later. It is my social service. Today I typed out five pre-launch auto responders for our software product “My Daily OS”. Emailed 15 auto responders to Richard East. He was very busy today. Today they provided me with a new chair.

She is in Visakhapatnam. She married him in 1997. She did not like Pawan marrying Renu Desai, without divorcing her. I did not like such legal action by this girl against a sensitive man like Pawan. Typed out a three-page blog immediately and posted it on my blog site. The title of this blog is “Targeting Celebrities – A Fashion Today for Girls”. Today about 120 creatures visited my blog site after posting this blog. Many like issues more than stories. One’s tears are news of celebration for others. The media runs after events of pain and tragedy. Today I prepared an outline to write content for our online sales site related to our software product “My Daily OS”. Left the office by 6:10. Sahitya sent me four SMSes. She read my comment left on the website of fans of Pawan Kalyan. She liked it. She used Rediff Bol to contact me this way. I sent two SMSes to her from my cellphone. Reached my abode by 7:00. It was raining. Balaram and Varun informed me that they would not come to our room this night. I did not feel like going out and eating something. Roads turned wet, dirty and slippery due to rain. Crossing these busy roads is also a big issue for me. Varun’s mother sent snacks for him recently. I ate them. Our abode turned cool. Solitude made it cozy for me. I regretted not having a sweetheart for me. Her words of satire, care and possessiveness matter to me. Lord Krishna is not working for me. Went to sleep by 9:00.

Thence walked about a kilometer and reached the abode of Rajani. He came by 7:30. He went out in a few minutes. I ate two mango fruit kept in fridge by him. They did not lose their sweetness. Read Eenadu for 10 minutes. My uncle Chanti Babu (Pakalapati Venkatapathi Raju) called me up from village Durgada. He is searching for a suitable bridegroom for his daughter Sirisha now. He told me to know about the opinion of my cousin Murali on marrying her. This guy is spiritually oriented. His attitude towards marriage is unreliable.

Today I did not find responses from Samata Biswas and Shafeeq. They are selected as content writers here. They are postgraduates in English from the CIEFL. I did not like their negligence in responding to me in this regard. Today I typed out content for our online sales site www.mydailyos.com. I used 30% of my creativity, 20% of my intelligence and 50% of given material for this task. I did it well. I felt happy with my performance today. Emailed this content to Richard East by 5:10. Then started typing out my weekly report. It carries the details of tasks carried out by each content writer in our team on a daily basis this week. My content writers are unable to type out even their daily reports. They have poor writing skills. I warned them about it. Emailed my weekly report to Richard East by 7:00. There are seven pages in it. Richard waits for my weekly report every Friday evening. He likes my style of reporting. I add my insights and creativity also to it. Left the office by 7:15. It was drizzling. Took a city bus and reached Osmania University gate near Shivam Circle by 7:40. Rajani had just finished his evening walk exercise. We reached his abode by 8:00 on foot.

Spent most of the day with Rajani. Talked with my mother for 15 minutes over my cellphone. She is suffering from health disorders related to high blood pressure, indigestion and knee joint pains. My father does not like to spend much money for health. He likes buying agricultural land at the cost of his basic needs like good food, clothes and health. I sent 2000 rupees for my mother. I seriously told her to spend that money for her medicines only. She gave 1500 rupees to my brother Srinivas asking him to buy a table fan for use in our house at Peda Gummuluru. This casual act by her infuriated me. I sent that money to her sacrificing some of my minimum needs. I don’t like her stupidity and foolishness. She does not know how to prioritize things. We got such parents. We pity our bad luck. My parents are a big source of pain for me. I regret it. Rajani, Balaram and I saw the Telugu film “Bahumathi” in cinema Sri Mayuri from 9:00 to 11:30. It is a mediocre film. Went to sleep by 12:00 for my dreams.

His name is Mohin. He already resigned from his present job. He did not do well in this written test. I sent him one-page email explaining him why we could not recruit him. I also provided him with the details of a recruitment firm, who are looking for a content writer now. Afternoon emailed the content I wrote for our website to Susan on the instructions of her husband Richard East. She wants to check its quality. Today I informed my four writers about the performance level to be achieved in their work to remain with this company. Left the office by 6:30. Saw a beautiful girl at the bus stop. My team member Chandrasekhara Reddy was also there. I told him that I would marry her immediately if she agrees. He remarked that my taste is not good. I showed him another girl walking past us along with her mother. He did not consider her beautiful. He is an old-fashioned guy in thoughts and appearance. I pitied his status as an admirer of beauty. His intention must be to make me feel low. Came back to my abode by 7:15. My right eye turned red. It must be due to my constant eye contact with LCD monitor. Went to Hotel Sanman by 7:30. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in it by 8:00. Now I have 300 rupees only to spend. I am waiting for my last month’s salary. Went to sleep by 9:00 for my dreams.

I told him that I could not select him due to his poor performance in the written test. I asked him to check his email. He felt happy with my words. He took my cellphone number. He is a good guy. He could not prove his worth in the written test. Richard East trusts me. I should not select a candidate based on my pity for him. I can do so when I own a company. Afternoon my friend Krishna Varma called me up. I felt very happy. He is doing a small job in Hyderabad. Left the office by 6:00. One of my colleagues dropped me at Shankar Mutt on his way to Ram Nagar. Called up my brother Sambha by 6:30. He said that he sent me 80 mangoes in a cardboard box through Navata Road Transport service. Then it is going to be the last parcel of mangoes to me in this season. My friend Rajani feels very happy hearing this news. Bought two packs of curries for 14 rupees and one pack of curd for eight rupees. Varun Varma cooked rice in the mean time. We had supper together by 8:30. We talked about money for some time. Nowadays human relations fail in two contexts. One is when poverty is high and the other is when there is a lot of money. Balaram and Varun are in bad financial conditions now. I am better than them. They are unable to pay their part of room rent in time. I decided to clear my due debt this month after getting my salary. I have to repay 12000 rupees to Kiran to become free. Went to sleep by 10:30 for my dreams.

4 July (Wednesday)

Today I typed out a complaint letter and a resignation letter. I am not yet paid for my five working days in the month of March. I reminded them many times about it. Carmen Catacat is the main person in our finance department. I did not like her delay in this regard. She does not come to this office during important days of payroll confirmation and salary payments. Employees in our company are suffering due to her careless and poor performance in this regard. She is taking 100 days to finalize the matter of my salary of five days. I decided to submit these two letters on the 9^th of this month if they don’t pay me that money even this month. I showed these two letters to my friend Sona Pudi. She said that it would be resolved this month. Evening sat near Sailaja for half an hour. She is our HR executive. We waited for two candidates to conduct written tests for content writer position. They did not turn up as promised over phone. We checked some CVs on monster.com job portal. We could not finalize anybody to call for a written test. We cannot pay to competent and experienced candidates. We don’t want freshers. It is a tough situation for us. Left the office by 7:00. Reached my abode by 7:15. Withdrew 100 rupees from the ATM Centre of UTI Bank in Windsor Plaza by 7:30. Had a plate of rice for 20 rupees in Hotel Sanman by 8:00. I developed noteworthy belly. I hate it. I must do exercises soon. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

5 July (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Morning saw an email from my primary school friend Velugula Hema Kumar. I saw him about 15 years ago. He is a devotee of Lord Krishna and member of ISKCON. He traditionally marries Lavanya in Tirupati next month. He invited me to it. I don’t think I can attend it. Today I edited 27 articles written by four content writers in my team. Morning conducted a written test to Sardar Parvinder Singh. He is working as a search engine optimizer in our company now. He wants to join my team of content writers. He did well in it. However, Richard East did not like to take him as a content writer. Radha asked me for half-day leave by 12:00. She said that she is a converted Christian. She wants to attend a group prayer along with her brothers. I accepted her leave application. Christianity is eating Hindus rapidly. They are dictating terms to us. Once the British exploited India, entering it as businessmen. One day this religion exploits this nation in similar way. Today I informed my team member Chadrasekhara Reddy about my decision to sack him soon unless he improves his speed of work. He argued with me on Google Talk about why he is right. I decided not to worry much about him for some days. He is sluggish. I like people with dynamism and liveliness. Recently Richard East informed me to tell some of my content writers to work using OpenOffice software for writing and editing. I like Microsoft Word because it got many good features. I felt very angry with Richard but did not express it. Time teaches him a good lesson. Half of the world is using pirated versions of software developed by Microsoft. All these blokes and companies are surviving at the mercy of Bill Gates. He is not conducting raids like income tax fellows. Had a plate of rice in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. Went to sleep by 9:30 for my dreams.

6 July (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Today I edited and finalized 12 articles written by two writers in my team. Morning met our project manager Prashant Sastry in his room. He told me that I have to write content for a website. There is five days’ time to complete this project for a client. He also informed me that I should meet him every morning with the daily report my team is working on. I don’t like regular meetings with blokes in a company. They talk nonsense. I like chatting online. It eliminates the need of physical dislocation of concerning staff. Today my team member Radha celebrated her birthday. She offered two pieces of cake to Neel Kusum and me. I observed harmful color item on it. I ate it somehow, not to disappoint her. Today also they could not credit salaries to the bank accounts of employees. It infuriated me. Many employees are much disappointed about it. Today I emailed nine-page weekly report to Richard East. I expressed my opinions on some things I observed as a content writer in this company. I made it a little sarcastic. He likes reading my elaborate weekly report to him. I like his honesty and simplicity as a boss. We often indulge in online chatting to exchange words of satire. Their salary payment and performance appraisal procedures are poor. A start-up should not have such avoidable drawbacks if they want to grow rapidly in a short period of time. Our office does not have a posh look. It is not the trend now. Left the office by 6:45. Rajani and I went to Banjara Hills in his car to attend a work. We had Mutton Biryani in Kabab Inn Restaurant at Himayat Nagar by 11:00. Went to sleep by 12:00.

7 July (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. Spent all the day with Rajani. Watched television and rested on bed in his abode till 2:00. From 10:00 to 11:30 watched the audio release function of Telugu film “Shankar Dada Jindhaabaadh” on Gemini television channel. Chiranjeevi acted in this feature film. I liked his behavior and sweet words in this function. By 4:00 we went to the branch office of Navata Road Transport at Vidya Nagar in Rajani’s car. We knew that the parcel of cardboard box of mangoes sent by my brother Sambha from Adduroad did not arrive here yet. He dropped me by Shivam Road by 5:00. I got 18 photos scanned in an Internet café. They are of my brothers, sisters-in-law, parents, our house in Peda Gummuluru and mine. He charged four rupees for scanning one photo. I think I did a good job today in my life. I fear that time imprints its mark of decay on these photos one day. By putting them on the Internet, I can feel a bit secure about them. Spent at Global View Internet café from 5:30 to 6:30 uploading into and describing these photos on my Flickr account. Night we saw the Telugu film “Lakshyam” of Gopichand in cinema Sri Ramana at Bagh Amberpet. Went to sleep by 1:30.

8 July (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for one hour. Rajani prepared a sweet dish with wheat flour, sugar and ghee by 8:30 for our breakfast. We went to Manjeera Boys Hostel at Kachiguda by 11:30. My cousin Kiran lent 5000 rupees to Rajani and 200 rupees to me. Kiran and I went back to his hostel by 12:00 on foot. We spent talking for some time. I rested there for about two hours. We two saw the Telugu film “Sathyabhaama” in cinema Sapthagiri in the first show. Kiran offered me samosaas and a cool soft drink. Took a head bath by 9:30. Went to sleep by 10:30.

9 July (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Today I edited 12 articles written by two writers. Morning Jobin Mathew joined us as a content writer. We could not provide him with a computer system and chair. He used the things of an absent employee. Morning sat with our HR executive Sailaja and searched for CVs suitable for content writer position. We found very few content writers. Some of them are not interested in working with this company. We finalized two candidates for a written test tomorrow. Our salaries are credited to our bank accounts by 4:00. Carmen made it possible. This time they paid me 14,900 rupees. They deducted 100 rupees for professional tax. They did not pay me for my five working days in March. I controlled myself from submitting my resignation letter. A jobless fellow has no value in the present employment market and society. Richard East trusts me as the key fellow in our writers team. He cannot believe in Indians if I quit this job now. Left the office by 6:10. Reached the abode of Rajani by 7:00. This evening he brought my parcel of mangoes from the branch office of Navata Road Transport at Vidya Nagar. Some of them spoiled a little. I sliced, washed them with water and made juice from them into a plastic container. It remains good for some days if stored in a fridge. My brother Sambha sent me these mangoes. Rajani and I had supper in Kakatiya Mess by 9:00. Came back to my abode by 9:30. This morning my brother Srinivas informed me over cellphone that he passed B.A. He is planning to pursue M.A. Philosophy through distance education mode from Andhra University. Went to sleep by 10:15 for my dreams.

10 July (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Met our project manager Prashant Sastry by 10:00 along with Jobin Mathew. He informed us to finish writing content for the new project by this Thursday. We spent there for 10 minutes. I found this regular exercise as a waste of time. We go there with a notebook in our hands. We write down almost nothing because there won’t be additional inputs from him. Today I chatted with Richard East on Google Talk for about 10 minutes. We exchanged serious words in a soft tone. I told him to avoid heavy delay in payment of salaries because it affects the morale of our staff a lot. Many of our employees depend on their monthly salaries for running their families. Bachelors have to pay room rents. Also I advised him not to sack employees for minor reasons. They talk badly about this company after leaving it if they think that they were fired unfairly. The entry and exit of employees must be smooth. The boss of a start-up must maintain high degrees of patience with all employees. Also informed him about the non-payment of salary to me for my five working days in March. He said that he would attend it personally. Today I assigned the task of writing content for our new project to Jobin Mathew completely. This is to give him absolute autonomy and authority on this work. It makes him feel responsible and accountable for his work. Today we contacted some candidates for content writer position. There are no many content writers in the market now. Today I edited and finalized 20 articles written by three content writers in my team. Left the office by 6:10. Had a plate of rice in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. This morning I gave 1000 rupees to Varun Varma towards my part of room rent for this month. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

11 July (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 7:50. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:15. Took my seat of work by 8:20. Today I edited and finalized 22 articles written by three writers in my team. Evening I conducted written tests to two girls for the position of content writer. They are friends of Neel Kusum, a content writer in my team. One girl did this written test very badly. She is working as an English teacher in a school now. The other girl copied related text from some websites and pasted it there. I did not select them. Today I left two comments on the personal blog site of a girl from Canada. She was sexually abused as a child by her father. Somebody raped her when she was young. She posted many blogs. It is her personal online diary. Anybody can read it and comment there. She posted the links of many websites on her blog site meant for rape victims and related help centers. I don’t know if I can trust her for whatever she wrote there. She calls herself a survivor. One of her blogs on it moved me. It is about the stress she is undergoing now in a company and her suicidal tendency. I advised her to read my blogs to relieve herself of such pain and suffering. Richard East earlier told me that he would increase my monthly salary to 20,000 rupees after three months if my performance is good. He did not touch that matter till now. I don’t like people who don’t keep their promises. I deserve 32,000 rupees. I joined this company in a helpless condition. I found that performance appraisals are not going on well in this company. Came back to my abode by 7:30. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. This morning repaid 10,000 rupees to my cousin Kiran. Went to sleep by 10:00.

12 July (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Today I knew that Shehla Khan from Lucknow expressed her interest to join us as a content writer. Our HR executive Sailaja earlier contacted her by email. She did her M.A. in English from the CIEFL in Hyderabad. She got experience in different domains of work. She is willing to relocate to Hyderabad from Lucknow. She wants 20,000 rupees as salary per month. I sent two-page email to her explaining her about this position on offer and the process of recruitment. It is my initiative to take talented ones into my team. Our project manager Prashant Sastry interfered in it and stated that only HR executives should carry out those things. I replied him with one-page explanation providing him with reasons for my initiative in this respect. He remained silent. I know about the standards of people with English literature background from premier institutes in India. HR creatures don’t have that much time, interest and intelligence to communicate differently with different people and attract them. Today I edited and finalized 20 articles written by three writers in my team. Evening my friend Dantuluri Shiva Varma called me up from Gajuwaka. He wants to do First Aid course from St John's Ambulance in Secunderabad. He asked me to go there and enquire about their selection process. Many think that I have excessive amount of time at my disposal for social service. Their love for me in this regard often disturbs me at different levels. My marriage became an issue for me now. A girl possessing inspiring beauty, substantial intelligence and great creativity is my choice. No creature is coming my way with those qualities. Many modern and educated girls in cities are like prostitutes in some ways. I don’t like their snobbery and hypocrisy. Had my supper by 8:30. Went to sleep by 9:30.

13 July (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Today I edited and finalized 27 articles written by three writers in my team. Afternoon knew that Shehla Khan has not yet received the email I sent her informing her about the job offer we have. Jobin Mathew told me about it. In our office, there is a procedure to follow for making STD phone calls for office purposes also.  I hate this nonsense. I called her up by 2:30 from my cellphone. She told me that she did not receive my email. I could not hear her voice clearly. I sensed that it is sweet and formal. I finished it in a minute. I sent her the word file of the email I sent her yesterday again. I sent two attachments. One in plain version and one in beautified version. I sent her an SMS containing the words “pls check your email now if possible. Thank you”. She replied by 3:23 with the following SMS “Thank you for being so thoughtful. Regards, Shehla”. This is the first SMS from a girl to me after I bought this Reliance cellphone. I felt delighted at her goodness and instant reply. I always think that a girl talking with me is very beautiful. Perhaps the dreamer and bachelor in me is considering her as a suitable bride for me to marry. I have been lovesick for 30 years. Shehla consoled me with her kind reply. I talked with Lakshmi on this date, 14 years ago, at their house accidentally. Shehla may be beautiful like Lakshmi. Left the office by 7:40. Reached the abode of Rajani by 8:20. He cooked rice by 9:00. We had supper by 9:30. Watched television. Went to sleep by 11:30.

14 July (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. By 9:00 Rajani and I went to Birla Mandir. I sat in his car listening to Telugu cine songs on FM radio. He completed the darshan of Lord Venkateswara there in the temple in 20 minutes. Then there were no many devotees. God is in me. I did not feel the need of visiting Him physically and artificially. We returned to his abode by 10:00. We had our breakfast. Watched television for some time. We went to Spencer’s supermarket in Musheerabad by 11:30. I did not find good T-shirts at 100 rupees in it. I bought two pairs of socks for 49 rupees on a discount offer. He dropped me at Lakdi Ka Pool by 12:15. Bought four white cotton shirts for 600 rupees at a store there. Thence hired an auto rickshaw and moved to Secunderabad. Bought eight T-shirts for 800 rupees at Fantoosh showroom near Rethifile bus stand. Returned to Vidya Nagar by 2:30 by bus. Packed these eight T-shirts and four white cotton shirts into a small cardboard box. Kept five 100-rupee notes in an envelope and put it in it. These shirts are for my brothers and this money is for my mother. Booked it at the branch office of Navata Road Transport at Vidya Nagar by 3:00 and paid him 77 rupees for it. Went to sleep by 12:30 in the abode of Rajani.

15 July (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for two hours. Watched television for some time. By 12:30 went to West Marredpally in Secunderabad in the car along with Rajani. He met his friend there. I saw a beautiful girl in a poor house there by road sitting in the car. Rajani told me that I should do such things closing the car door glasses. I felt like marrying her. She can inspire me with her beauty. Rich and poor divide keeps us distant from one another in India. We had lunch in Kakatiya Mess by 2:00. Rested in his abode by 3:00. Returned to my abode by 6:00. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

16 July (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:40. Took my seat of work by 8:45. Today I edited and finalized 23 articles written by three writers in my team. Afternoon Revanth Reddy of Infotech Enterprises contacted me. He informed me to attend a written test in their office this Friday evening for the position of technical writer. I told him that I am not interested in it. I emailed him the details of five candidates I know. Left the office by 6:10. Reached my abode by 7:00. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:00. Called up my teacher uncle Venkata Rama Raju in Jaggampeta, my maternal aunt Bhaskaram in Durgada, my uncle Rama Raju in Koruprolu, my brother Sambha in Peda Gummuluru, my brother Srinivas in Visakhapatnam and my cousin Hari in Chennai. My teacher uncle is searching for a suitable bride for his second son Naren. Bhaskaram is looking for a software engineer for her daughter Sirisha. Rama Raju is looking for a job for his son Vasu. My brother Sambha is trying to clear his debts selling his paddy farm in Gollalagunta. My brother Srinivas is waiting for his promotion to the position of clerk from the armed guard because he recently passed B.A. My search for a beautiful bride is on. It may be a Muslim also. Christians compel me to join their religion for my marriage sake. They attract me with sweet words and small gifts. I lost love for Christianity after observing their conversion strategies in India. I am envious of all beautiful girls who have boyfriends. Not a single girl is approaching me for love or marriage. I am not in this race. I pity my status in the present love and marriage market. Lord Krishna is making and keeping me lovesick. I am waiting for a sweetheart to beautify my life. Went to sleep by 10:00.

17 July (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:45. There was no Internet access to our computer systems till 1:00. Many enjoyed this time in their own way. A recruitment consultant called me up by 12:30. They are looking for content developers to work with Vibrant Technologies. I sent her some CVs which I got on my computer system. Chinmayee Patnaik came by 12:40. She is leaving for the USA on the 20^th of this month. Her husband decided it that way. I told Richard that she continues working with us after her marriage. She proved my argument wrong. I am not hurt by it. I will recruit one more content writer to fill the vacancy created by her. She did not talk with me. She chatted with me online from an Internet café outside. She is busy preparing things to go to the USA. Typed out a resignation letter for her and emailed it. She made some changes in it and emailed it to all those concerned in our office. She ruined it with her changes. It’s her wish. Afternoon I edited and finalized 20 articles written by four writers in my team. There was no reply from Shehla Khan. By 6:00 our project manager told Jobin Mathew that he must finish a task before leaving today. He had to prepare content for the backend page of wiredin. He could complete it by 9:20. I too stayed back to make him feel that team leader is part of this task. He typed out about 600 words. We edited and finalized it by 9:30. He did it well. I chatted online with Richard East before leaving. He felt happy with our staying back and finishing this task. We hired an auto rickshaw up to Shankar Mutt. Jobin told me that he is an agnostic. I liked his orientation. We had supper in Hotel Sanman by 10:00. Thence he rushed to his rented abode at Tarnaka. I came to my abode by 10:15. Went to sleep by 10:30.

18 July (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Today I edited and finalized 17 articles written by four writers in my team. This evening Meghana Acharya came for doing a test for the position of content writer. She talked with Sona Pudi for 10 minutes and left. She talked with another woman also. I felt embarrassed observing them talking for long like friends. She is living at Nacharam. She could not wait for the written test to be conducted by me. She is from the University of Hyderabad. Recently I knew that my cousin Narendra Varma got good marks in his second semester exams. He stood second in his class. He talked with me for five minutes. His parents are not sending him enough money for his expenses. I have no money to send him. He can study well if more money is sent to him. This afternoon I chatted online with my friend A V Rao in Qatar. I showed him the photos of Saakshi, Swagata and Deepa. I told him casually to search for such girls for me to marry in that place. Left the office by 7:30. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman along with my colleague Jobin Mathew by 8:30. He found the food good in this hotel at 20 rupees. Came to my abode by 8:45. Talked with my cousin Kiran for some time. Today he got a good rank in the periodic performance appraisal in his company conducted by his superiors. He got fourth rank in it. They increased his salary to 50,000 rupees from 30,000 rupees. He gets about one lakh rupees by the end of this month. He wants to buy a new bike with that cash bonus. Our roommate Balaram stopped attending his cellphone. He has to give  1500 rupees to Varun for room rent. Varun is disturbed at this kind of behavior by Balaram. I remained helpless. My financial condition is also bad. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

19 July (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Hotel Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Today I edited and finalized 17 articles written by four writers in my team. These articles are on those keywords which many Americans type and search for online information on. It is not original content. We collect relevant information from various sources on the Internet. It is copying and pasting work. One must possess comprehensive understanding of a topic to write on it. Nobody would have such knowledge about many themes. It compels us to rely on material prepared by others. All this effort is to educate our website visitors on pieces of information they are searching for on the Internet. Many websites are vying for good ranking on Google’s search results. Online marketing companies do a lot to achieve it. It is all called Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Richard East decided to get our new website www.bwiredin.com active by this night. Jobin Mathew wrote content for some sections on this website. Our project manager Prashant told us to stay back. They ordered pizza for us. I had two slices of it by 10:30. I ate it today for the first time in my life. I found it tasty. The cheese on it makes me fat. I did not like it. I knew that Americans eat it a lot. We did not do much work during the night. Our web design team posted the content without giving it to us for editing. We carried out the editing of some parts of content for one hour. I spent rest of my time browsing Internet. Shehla Khan replied from Lucknow. She decided to join us. I typed out two pages of content and emailed those details of the written test to her by 9:20. She is a competent candidate. Today I did not sleep at all. Remained in our office all the night. No space for dreams.

20 July (Friday)

Woke up by 7:30. This sentence is almost wrong. Left the office by 5:00. Hired an auto rickshaw and reached Shankar Mutt by 5:15. I placed myself on the old mattress of Varun Varma by 5:30. My idea was to sleep for about three hours. My brain could not impose sleep upon me. I closed my eyes struggling to sleep somehow but in vain. Freshened up myself by 9:00. Went to bus stop by 9:15. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 9:45. Entered our office by 10:00. My face looked dim. Sleeplessness had its mark on it. Today I edited and finalized 19 articles. Jobin Mathew came to the office by 2:30. This morning Sangameshwar brought a newly recruited traffic assistant to introduce to our team. She is beautiful. Her face got liveliness. She can be a good wife. I should not propose to her. Nowadays many girls are maintaining boyfriends. I should not think that most of the girls coming across me were born only to be loved or married by me. I could not get a girlfriend for me. Perhaps my thoughts and behavior are lofty and formal. I am not good at communication with girls. My Lord Krishna knows how and when to get me married. Emailed my weekly report to Richard East by 6:00. When I chatted online with him before leaving, he appreciated my staying back yesterday night. I worked for a little time only. I don’t deserve his special thanks. Jobin and I hired an auto rickshaw. I showed him our rented abode. It is made and kept like a perfect bachelor room by my two roommates Varun and Balaram. I went to the abode of Rajani by 7:00. Watched television for two hours. We had supper by 9:30. We also had four mango fruit kept in his fridge. Went to sleep by 11:00.

21 July (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for one hour. Had my breakfast by 9:30. By 10:00 an insurance agent of TATA called me up. I don’t know how he got my cellphone number. He talked with me for 10 minutes. I told him that I am a healthy and incredibly disciplined guy. He told me to choose a medical insurance scheme. I told him that I would let him know about it after consulting my friends. Today the last book of Harry Potter series was released into market. Children and adults are buying it crazily. I did not read even one book of this series. I must do it sometime. Today Pratibha Patil was elected as the 12^th President of India. She got good background. She is old. I don’t like this aspect of a leader in office. Her voice and gait are weak. The preceding President Abdul Kalam is an energetic man. Pratibha is the first woman President of India. Sonia Gandhi made it possible. She wants a rubber stamp in the seat of President. She put her in this seat as part of her vision. I hate this creature for many reasons. Today I spent talking with Muthyala Raju, a friend of Rajani, about the future of India. He liked my views. Spent all the day in the abode of Rajani. Went to sleep by 11:30.

22 July (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for one hour. Kiran came by 10:00 on his bike. We searched through the lanes of Bagh Lingampally, Hyderguda and Chikkadpally. We did not find even a single abode with a ‘To Let’ board. We are bachelors. There are no vacant abodes even for married creatures. We went to Devi Rental Agency at Chikkadpally. We paid 200 rupees to them on 31 December, 2006. Their agent took us to an abode in Gandhi Nagar. There is a two- bedroomed portion in its third floor. We did not like it. Afternoon saw the Telugu film “Toss” in cinema Sudarshan. Went to sleep by 11:30.

23 July (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:45. Today I edited and finalized 14 articles for our website BwiredIn. Morning knew about a great girl in New Delhi. Her name is Shambhavi. She is 13 now. She is maintaining a blog site called ‘The Invincible’. I visited her blog site. She wrote well. I sent an email to her. Afternoon chatted online with my friend Mutyala Rao. He was my classmate in A P R School at Bhoopathipalem. Now he is doing a job in Abu Dhabi. He married a girl of his choice. I sent him five photos of the girls I loved. Today I typed out a firing letter and sent it to our HR Manager Sona Pudi. I decided to send Chandrasekhara Reddy out. He is lethargic by nature. He did not change despite my instructions. He is a slow and poor learner. He lacks energy and speed of an adult of his age. Richard East told me to sack him if I feel the need. In this one-page letter, I stated him not to resort to any measures or methods to defend himself or offend us. This letter has to be emailed to him formally by Sona Pudi. Left the office by 7:00 finishing chatting online with my friend Mutyala Rao. Hired an auto rickshaw and reached Shankar Mutt by 7:30. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:15. Kiran called me up. He wants 3000 rupees to give a party in his office on the occasion of the recent increase in his salary. His colleagues already announced it without his permission. Their wayward behavior infuriated me. I gave him 1000 rupees. I advised him not to let anybody to take liberty of deciding his priorities. Went to sleep by 10:30.

24 July (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Shehla Khan emailed me the answers to the questions I sent her earlier. I found her performance good in it. She did not answer one question. She is not a schoolgirl. I did not like to mind it. I informed my decision to our HR Manager Sona Pudi. I chatted online with Richard East about her salary. I told him that she deserves 20,000 rupees  per month. He told me to do whatever I think to be right. He authorized me to this extent. I informed Sona about it. Called up Shehla Khan and informed her what to do in the telephonic interview with Sona. If she gets ready to join us even at a less salary than I finalized for her, it would affect me. Good people don’t know how to negotiate for getting what they deserve. A good person should not take it for his advantage. I knew that she has to support her mother and sister back at home with her earnings. She is a research scholar. I know her value as a person and academic. My role requires me to serve her as a human being. She has to come down to Hyderabad from Lucknow to do this job. She cannot find her life happy here unless she is paid well. I am an admirer of beauty. If she turns out to be a beautiful girl, my concern for her would be more meaningful. Sona was busy today. She could not prepare a provisional appointment letter today for Shehla Khan. I sent an email to Shehla asking her to wait a little. Today I edited and finalized 19 articles. Left the office by 6:10. Rested in my abode for one hour. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. Talked with my teacher uncle Venkata Rama Raju for 20 minutes over my cellphone. He is looking for a suitable bride for his son Naren. He does not want a bitch. He thinks that most of the modern girls are bitches only. Went to sleep by 10:30.

25 July (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Today I edited and finalized 12 articles written by four writers in my team. Today Askari Jaffer wrote two articles only. She tried to add her creativity to these articles. She spoiled them in this process. I did not accept her two articles. Chandrasekhara Reddy wrote two articles on his own on given keywords. I did not find them good. I told him not to experiment with them anymore. These four are not good at subject or language. Writing an article, struggling for novelty or creativity, should be the endeavor of a person with a little substance inside. Better if others copy and paste stuff from relevant online sources. I instructed my four content writers to do it. All these articles are meant for educating casual netizens. We are not selling them. I think it is not a crime. Today Sona Pudi tried to teach a lesson to me. She told me that HR executives would do their work. This response was when I asked her why she did not email the job offer letter to Shehla Khan yet. She said that she spoke with her over telephone. She takes time to finalize her. She is simply delaying to prove others that she is visionary. I did not like to apply my skills to reform such a kid. If she delays it further, I will be required to let her know about my skills. Morning left a four-page comment on the blog site of Amrita on WordPress. I explained my case to her and asked her how I should select a compatible bride for me. Evening met Rajani in his abode. He is getting smart with me. It’s time for me to reform him. He is becoming proud. Had my supper by 9:00 in Hotel Shanthi Deluxe by Shivam Road. Went to sleep by 12:00.

26 July (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Last night I could not sleep for more than two hours. My thoughts stormed against Sona in our company. She is intentionally delaying the appointment matter of Shehla Khan. Filling the salary and designation details in the offer letter format and emailing it to her is a matter of three minutes. This sick creature is taking days to do it. She is trying to exhibit her ego this way. I hate such silly things. I have to keep Shehla Khan waiting for this job offer letter because of this nut. I don’t know if it is part of a game in our company being played by some other entities like our project manager. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 9:00. Took my seat of work by 9:10. Amrita posted an elaborate reply to my comment on her blog site. I felt very happy sensing her concern for me. I left a four-page reply there expressing my sense of respect for her in this regard. Today I edited and finalized 14 articles written by four writers in my team. Afternoon informed Sailaja that I will be compelled to take a serious step if things go on like this in the HR section. I will pose a few questions to Richard East to be answered by him or others in this office. If people like to build walls among themselves on the basis of designations and departments, I can play that game of fragmentation and segmentation well. If Sona likes to exhibit the power of her role at our office level, I can do it at international level. The more one challenges me, the more I gain strength to fight back and challenge others at any level. If a girl does not know how to deal with me as an admirer, she eventually suffers beholding the other aspects of my personality, which I use rarely. Sona is subject to face me violently soon if she does not change immediately. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. Today I spent a wild day. I tried to control myself. Went to sleep by 10:30.

27 July (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:20. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Today I edited and finalized 14 articles written by three writers in my team. Morning typed out a two-page letter regarding the issue of delay in finalizing the recruitment of candidate Shehla Khan for the position of content writer with us. It is meant to be emailed to Richard East and answered by Sona. It is a sign of frustration I experienced due to the careless behavior of Sona in this respect. I hate procrastination. This girl tried to exhibit her authority upon me in this regard. It necessitated me to show her my authority as well. Evening talked with Shehla Khan in Lucknow over my cellphone. She said that she would be happy if she is allowed to join us on the 3^rd of September. I found her communication skills great. When I contacted our HR executive about it, she gave me a bossy reply. I did not like to degrade myself arguing with her on it. Richard East addressed us in the first floor from 6:00 to 6:30. He talked about the expansion plans of our company in Hyderabad. He wants to make it into a company of 1000 employees in a few months. He informed us about the promotions and emotions that are going to take place in this process. I found his speech effective. Emailed my weekly report to him by 7:30. In it, I wrote about two pages on the issue of originality in the articles we are writing here. I clarified him that it involves a lot of time and research. Only subject and language experts can write great articles on a variety of keywords. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. I am in financial crisis now. Expenditure is high. Income is low. Went to sleep by 10:30.

28 July (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to the abode of Rajani by 9:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. Today he was busy talking with his business clients. He told me and his friend Mutyala Raju to go out of his abode and spend somewhere. His business related talk with others demanded our absence from there. We went to the big public library in Bagh Amberpet by 11:00. We spent there reading books till 12:00. We wanted to see Telugu film “Shankar Dada Zindabad”. This film of Chiranjeevi was released to cinemas yesterday itself. We don’t get tickets for it now. We have to buy them in the black spending about 400 rupees. We don’t have that much money. If I am bankrupt, he is a tramp! We bought and had two toasted corn cobs for 10 rupees. I spent sitting in a bus stop and standing by road opposite KSS Hostel for about three hours. Lack of money is my qualification. Boredom is my job. Bad time is my supervisor. Frustration is my employer. Reached the abode of my friend Veeranjaneyulu in Jubilee Hills by 5:00. I felt relieved. The composure of his character and the splendor of his presence delighted me. We spent talking about this and that for about four hours. We had supper by 9:30. It was cool outside. He was feeling sleepy. Went to sleep by 10:00.

29 July (Sunday)

Woke up by 7:00. Spent in the abode of Veeranjaneyulu till 2:30. His brothers and cousins are disturbing him with their undisciplined behavior. He will soon organize a solo exhibition of his paintings at State Art Gallery in Hyderabad. Most of them would be Tanjore paintings. He is looking for a female model to do drawings. He is yet to get a beauty to marry. He is interested in knowing about art history and art criticism. Returned to my abode by 4:30 by a city bus. Rested in my abode for two hours. Took a head bath by 8:30. Varun and I had our parcel meal by 9:00 in our abode. Went to sleep by 10:00.

Today I edited and finalized 18 articles written by four writers in my team. Afternoon Sona told me that she emailed the job offer letter to Shehla Khan in Lucknow. She did not forward me a copy of that email. I sent an email to Shehla asking her to email me the details of her salary and date of joining. I also informed her that I can find a place for her in some ladies hostel here and come to railway station to receive her. I derive more happiness from helping a girl than a boy. It is a historical truth. Today I found that Anurag Bansal wrote badly about two of my blogs on his blog site. I sent him an email asking him to be my teacher. He should tell me what is right and what is wrong in writing. His ideas must be universally applicable. Nobody should be able to criticize them. I decided to tackle this guy elegantly. These idiots write this and that beyond my knowledge. When I catch them, I would deal with them powerfully. I allow everybody to leave comments on my blog site. Buggers have no guts to leave a comment on my blog site. Left the office by 6:10. It was raining. Jobin and I hired an auto rickshaw up to Shankar Mutt. Reached my room by 6:45. Rested for half an hour. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:00. Called up my brothers and talked with them for 10 minutes. Sambha cleared his debts after selling his paddy farm. He has to yet clear a debt of 80,000 rupees. My brother Srinivas wants to sell his house site to clear his debts. I have still a debt of 1000 rupees. It was cool outside. I was lonely inside. Went to sleep by 10:30.

31 July (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Morning posted 15 of my short stories in my content producer’s space on Associated Content. Today I edited and finalized 25 articles written by four writers in my team. Also typed out content for the sitemap of our website Bwiredln. Morning asked one of my colleagues if the identity of a person can be found out if the email id is available. He said he cannot do it. I want to check the email id of Swagata Gupta. I sent some emails to an email id thinking that it is hers. I don’t know who got them. She is one of the nasty girls I have seen. Silence is her language. I don’t know whether she likes me or hates me. She has been torturing me like this ever since I saw her. I think a prostitute is better than this girl. God should teach her a great lesson one day. Then only she can understand how an admirer like me suffers when the other person remains silent. This month I also realized that very few love me the way I love them. I checked it in my cellphone. If I have 40 cellphone numbers in it, 36 of them expect me to call them up. I am craving for their relationship or love. They are least bothered about me. This realization hurt me. I will distance myself from them slowly. I want to limit my love and concern for those few that love me. Classic Telugu films and Telugu cine songs console me a lot in this mess of things and people around me. I should fall in love with abstract things. My admiration for female and natural beauty never dies. I am a parasite. Left the office by 6:30. It was raining. Took a city bus and reached my abode by 7:00. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. Two days ago I told my cousin Kiran to pay my cellphone bill. He did not do it till now. He is not a disciplinarian. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

By 10:30 I found that my computer system was affected with virus. Our systems administrator could not clear it at my place. He took the CPU into server room. By 11:30 Internet access failed. It was restored by 4:30. All the employees in the company enjoyed talking among themselves. I found it annoying. Our project manager Prashant told me to do my work on the computer system of my colleague. I did not like it. So, avoided it. He decided to improve the writing skills of the four writers in my team through a training program. I told him that I am not interested in training anybody. He chose Jobin Mathew for this task. He told Jobin to prepare a plan for it. This training program was started by 5:00. Prashant talked a little about it in the beginning. Thereafter Jobin continued it till 6:00. I too sat there like a student and listened to his talk. I don’t believe in the usefulness of this training program. I don’t like to discourage them either. Left the office by 6:10. Paid 300 rupees at the Reliance outlet near Shivam Circle by 7:00 towards usage charges of my cellphone for the last month. It was raining. Rushed to KSS Hostel on foot. My friend Anjaneya Raju wants to stay in our rented abode as a roommate. He brought a parcel of rice from Kakatiya Mess to our abode by 9:00. We had it by 9:30. It was drizzling outside. I remained alone in my abode. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

He showed me a four-page document related to our company website BwiredIn. He told me to write content for it. He could not explain it to me. He decided to transfer that burden onto my head. He often gets smart with us. He does not know how smart I am! I prepared a format, which needs to be followed by anybody assigning a task to the writers team. Prashant is a messy man. If I don’t set him right, he damages my efficiency as a writer. The training class took place from 5:45 to 6:15. I could attend it by 6:00. Jobin is working hard to collect material and conduct this training session for the betterment of our writers team. I could not understand it. There is no use in sitting absent-mindedly in a classroom. I will not attend this training session hereafter. I don’t like to subject myself to heavy stress and allow things to get chaotic around me. I want to live long and achieve many things. If I find it necessary, I will quit this company soon. Fellows are undisciplined here. A disciplinarian cannot live longer among a bunch of monkeys and donkeys. Left the office by 6:30. Reached my abode by 7:00. Went to a nearby Internet café and spent there browsing Internet till 7:30. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:30. Bought a copy of Telugu film weekly Sitara. Spent reading it till 10:00.

It made me pressed for time. Started typing out my weekly report by 5:00. Emailed it to Richard East by 7:30. Left the office by 7:40. It was drizzling. Took a city bus and reached Barkatpura. Bought two guavas for two rupees. Started walking towards Shankar Mutt eating these guavas. I came across a foreign girl on the way. I felt like looking back at her face. There was an Indian fellow with her. I avoided this initiative not to disturb him. Bought a parcel of rice for 25 rupees in Hotel Sanman. Came to my abode by 8:15. My roommate Anjaneya Raju and I had it by 8:45. Then talked with my friend Manohar Babu over my cellphone. Thereafter talked with Emmanuel. Both of them were my classmates in M.A. English at the University of Hyderabad. Emmanuel and I will meet this Sunday afternoon. He is from Northeast India. He speaks English well. He is a good guy. He asked me about my preferences of food. I said such things must be formal if a girl and a boy are involved in such meeting after a long time. The time we spend together talking about things is more important than what we eat and where we do it. He too showed enthusiasm for meeting me. I liked it. Rajani remained silent. He has to repay 800 rupees to me and 5000 rupees to my cousin Kiran. I don’t like to call him up. Let him do it whenever he can. Now I have five pairs of clothes. I have to buy more. My income sources are limited. I have to keep going. Went to sleep by 10:00.

I spent there reading Eenadu for half an hour. I felt disgusted and so came back to Shivam Road on foot. Took a city bus and reached cinema Sri Ramana at Bagh Amberpet by 10:00. Bought a ticket there for 35 rupees. Went to a nearby hotel and had a glass of fruit salad. Saw the Telugu film “Shankar Dada Zindabad” of Chiranjeevi from 11:00 to 1:30. It is good. It stressed the importance of Gandhian values in the present Indian society. Now many are not interested in them. Came back to my abode by 2:00. Rested for one hour. Spent talking with my friend Anji for two hours. We went to Kakatiya Mess by 8:00. We bought a parcel of rice there for 30 rupees. We had it by 9:00 in our abode.

5 August (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for one hour. I saw a suitable ad in it. Kiran came to me by 9:30. We went to Chikkadpally on his bike. We liked that house portion a lot.

It continued till 6:00. Traffic assistants left for their homes by 11:30. They have to work this Saturday to compensate it. Edited and finalized 11 articles. Thereafter met our operations manager Faraz in his room. He informed me that our project manager Prashant is of the opinion that I am against the training program meant for the improvement of our team. He told me to prepare a report explaining my stand on it. Typed out one-page report. He also told me that he would talk to Richard East about the assured increase in my salary. I felt happy about it. Typed out two-page review of Telugu film “Shankar Dada Zindabad”. I have to post this film review on my blog site. I could not do it today because there was no Internet access in our office. It is a token of my love for actor Chiranjeevi. Afternoon my friend Anji came to our office to attend an interview for a position. He could not do it well. He was not selected. Today I spent lazily in our office. It was a bad experience to me. Came back to my abode by 6:40 along with a copy of Eenadu. Spent reading it for one hour. Anji brought a parcel of plate meal from Kakatiya Mess by 8:30. We had it by 9:00. Today Sona Pudi wore a beautiful saree. She looked attractive in it. I appreciated her look when leaving the office.

Morning posted my blog titled “Shankar Dada Zindabad” on my blog site. It is a film review. It is my gesture of love for my darling Chiranjeevi. Today I typed out and posted a blog titled “I Love You Spaceman Spiff” on my blog site. This blogger deleted her blog site from WordPress. She must have created another blog site somewhere. She did not reveal those details in this deletion notice. I addressed her lovingly in this blog. I made it a little satirical. She could not withstand my satire on her. She wrote badly about me again. Her short temper can do nothing with me. I like to tease her like this because she deserves it. Morning our operations manager Faraz told me that my monthly salary will be increased to 20,000 rupees per month from the first of next month. I did not find it exciting because I deserve 32,000 rupees. Afternoon got a call from the office of Deloitte in Hyderabad. I told her that I would join them within 20 days as an editor if they pay me 32,000 rupees a month. I want money to start the editing work of my books and publish them soon. Now girls are not after values a person represents but after the money and status he earns and maintains somehow. I have to marry a beautiful girl proving my earning capability. Richard East thinks that he is paying me generously. He knows my value only when I leave this company. I use only 20% of my intelligence at my parents, friends, well-wishers and employer. They cannot face me if I use it more than that. Left the office by 7:10. Brought a parcel of plate meal from Kakatiya Mess by 8:00. Anji and I had it by 8:30. It was cool outside.

Also added Google Toolbar to my blog site. Now one can search for information staying on my blog site itself. Afternoon, Paul Schriner, our marketing vice president, took Jobin Mathew into his room in the ground floor. The content writing work would be finalized there and sent to me. I will distribute it to my four writers sitting in the second floor. It is good for me. It relieves me of my work burden to a great extent. Afternoon a customer service executive of HDFC Bank called me up and informed me that I have to pay them 800 rupees. It is because I have their credit card. I told her to send me an email explaining me why I should pay it to them. I did not even sign on that credit card. I am interested in this game. I am looking for some students to teach a few lessons. Left the office by 6:30. Came to my abode by 7:00. Put the used polythene bags in our abode at our entrance. My roommates are making this place into a dustbin. I want to teach them a lesson this way. Went to the rented portion of my cousin Shiva in Nallakunta by 7:30. Spent talking with him, having a toasted corn cob, till 8:30. When I returned to my abode, Anji called me up and told me that he would have his supper there today. He has to bring our parcel of rice today. I avoided having my supper for this reason.

Morning, 14,900 rupees, my due salary for the month of July, was credited to my UTI Bank account. All the employees of our company looked relieved and delighted today. Morning typed out a blog of two pages and posted it on my blog site. Its title and content carry the elements of horror and satire. Afternoon saw a beautiful girl on YouTube of Google. Her name is Babette. She is working as a Massage Programs Manager with Google. I left a comment there stating that she is a damsel of beauty and that I am an admirer of beauty. I am looking for such girl to marry. She is an extraordinary beauty. She slightly got facial features of Swagata Gupta. Left the office with a dim face resulting from cold and lovesick heart centered on Babette. She must have got a lover or is already married. Dreams are blissful. Realizing them is very difficult. Came to my abode by 7:00. Rested on my mattress for 20 minutes. Had my supper in Hotel Sanman by 8:20. Bought a copy of Sitara. Spent reading it till 9:00 in my abode. Meanwhile my brother Sambha called me up from Tangedu. He told me that they sold the seasonal crop of our mango garden at hills for 1,30,000 rupees this year. That buyer has to yet pay much money.

Today I edited and finalized 18 articles written by four writers in my team. I knew that the famous writer Taslima Nasrin was physically attacked by some fundamentalist Muslim MLAs yesterday in Hyderabad when she came here to release the Telugu version of her recent work. She was protected from their attack by reporters and writers there. Later police came and took her to the airport. She left for Kolkata by flight. This stupid act by them infuriated me. Recently the Hindi film actor Sanjay Dutt was sentenced to six-year imprisonment by a court for his crime of possession of arms and contacts with the Mafia. I think he does not deserve such punishment. These boiling thoughts started heating me up. Had a plate of Vegetable Biryani in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 1:20. Typed out a four-page blog titled “Shame Shame Shame … I am an Indian” by 3:00 and posted it on my blog site. I condemned the unkind verdict of court on Sanjay Dutt and inhuman attack of fundamentalist MLAs on Taslima Nasrin. This blog reflects my fury against the antisocial elements sitting in the legislatures of India now. First they must be uprooted from this land. Emailed my weekly report to Richard East by 6:45. Reached my abode by 7:30. Had a toasted corn cob to provide my body with fibre. Spent talking with Anji for some time. He brought a parcel of rice from Kakatiya Mess by 9:30. Today I suffered a lot from bad cold. Went to sleep by 11:30.

11 August (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Took a city bus at VST bus stop for Yousufguda Check Post by 9:30. Reached the abode of Veeranjaneyulu at Journalist Colony ‘A’ by 10:30. His relatives prepared breakfast specially for me. We spent talking for a long time. He is also suffering from cold like me. Our senses of smell and taste failed a little temporarily. We had lunch by 2:30. He is getting Internet access to his computer through his Airtel cellphone. The charges are affordable but the speed of access is poor. I showed him the photo of Smitha. She is a doctor in Bangalore. She expressed her interest to marry him. She saw his matrimonial profile on simplymarry.com created by me. She is 41. He told me to politely reject it. Then we read about film actors Chiranjeevi and Kamal Hassan on Wikipedia. My brother Srinivas called me up from Visakhapatnam by 4:00.

Bought three T-shirts for my nephew Sujan, three fancy cotton sarees for my sisters-in-law and three silk sarees for my mother. They put them in a polythene bag. I did not like it. Bought a bag for 300 rupees to keep them. All these items cost me 3,300 rupees. There are discount offers. Booked a sleeper class train reservation ticket for my brother Srinivas to Visakhapatnam from Secunderabad to Visakha Express for the 20^th of this month. Took a head bath by 8:00.

It is a satire on contemporary India. It is in the form of a story carrying an interview. Isk means Indiane Satiro Kingu. He is son of two great persons. He is a genius. He was born with a psychic disorder. He never went to school or temple. He read many books on India being at home. His parents must organize a talk with an intelligent guy on some day before every Independence Day of India. He kills the interviewer if the latter puts stupid questions to him. He likes sharp and short questions. They should aim at eliciting great answers from him about India and other burning issues of the world. This time his parents invited me to talk with him. I accepted it. It is a risky game with an angry, dangerous and young Indian. It is a critique of India when it is getting ready to celebrate its 60 years of independence. I portrayed the setting and the two protagonists well. It is a great blog. Posted it on my blog site by 11:00. Today the speed of Internet access was slow in our office. Today I edited and finalized 13 articles written by four writers in my team. Left the office by 6:10. Came across a pushcart with big oranges at Shankar Mutt. Felt like buying and having them because I never saw or tasted them. Bought two for 30 rupees. I struggled to peel its thick skin off. They are not sweet. My teeth got sour. If I eat something sour, my sensitive teeth also get sour. Anji brought a parcel meal from Kakatiya Mess by 9:00. I could not chew rice well. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

14 August (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of idlies in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:15. Took my seat of work by 8:20. Added a little visual beauty to my blog site applying the design features developed by the folks of Blogger of Google. Changed the placing of AdSense ads also. It was over by 11:00. Today I edited and finalized 15 articles. By 1:15 had a plate of chapatis in Swathi Coffee Shoppe. I have been eating Vegetable Biryani during afternoons after joining this company. Consumption of this oily rice must be increasing the thickness of my belly. I want to eat food items prepared with wheat powder to avoid it. Today Carmen came to the office. She returned from Australia. She wore a black dress. She looked beautiful in it. Left the office by 6:20. When I was waiting for a city bus at the bus stop opposite Apollo Emergency Hospital at Hyderguda, I observed two things, which infuriated me. One guy was riding his motorcycle in a zigzag style. He must be 16. He was playing with his life on a busy road. I cursed that dirty pig. There is a rise in the number of road accidents in cities now. This idiot is inviting troubles into his life. Then, a boy of about 12 years was coming toward me pushing his small wooden handcart. He sells salty boiled peanuts. I felt like buying and having them. I gave him a five-rupee coin and told him to give me peanuts worth three rupees. He advised me to take for five rupees. I readily agreed for it. He poured five bottle caps of peanuts in a cone-shaped paper and left me. He did not care for my words demanding more. Those peanuts cost one rupee in the open market. The related work he did may cost one rupee. He earned a profit of three rupees selling me snacks worth two rupees. It is exploitation. He cheated me. His business idea is based on deliberate deceit. He is a mean creature on this soil. He cheats many before he dies. Went to sleep by 10:00.

15 August (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Today Indians are celebrating 60 years of independence. Freshened up myself by 8:00. My roommate Anji and I had breakfast in a roadside hotel near Shankar Mutt temple. Bought a copy of The Times of India and a copy of Eenadu. We moved to VST bus stop in an auto rickshaw. By 8:30 we took a city bus for Ameerpet. We got off it near Maithrivanam building by 9:00. Thence we walked towards Dharam Karan Road. We had four bananas there. We went to the rented abode of our friend Madhu (Ramachandra Raju). I did not like the worn-out look of his house portion. A conservative Brahmin family owns this house. He said that there are many restrictions to be followed. I hated the outdated elements of this abode and the orthodox creatures living in it. We went to his office “Rainbow Interiors” by 10:30 on foot. He copied his important files into CDs from his computer. I sold this computer to him a few months ago after using it for about 10 months. Then I was in dire need of money to survive. My brother Srinivas told me to buy a computer for his children. He also wants to practice basic banking transactions on it. I asked Madhu to sell it back to me for 3000 rupees recollecting his business mentality revealed before me earlier. He reasoned that it costs more than that. I put it at 4,000 rupees. He asked for 4,500 rupees. I agreed for it and paid him. Anji and I took this computer, CPU and UPS to a nearby Kesineni Bus Travels point in an auto rickshaw. I paid 180 rupees there for its packing and transport to Visakhapatnam. We had lunch in a hotel there and took a bus by 2:30. We reached our abode by 3:30. Rested on my mattress for three hours. We had parcel meal by 10:00. It was cool outside. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

16 August (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Internet access was not fast to my computer. Went to Victory Photo Studio at Basheer Bagh opposite Gandhi Medical College. Got my passport size photos taken in it. My father recently told me to send them. Two acres of our agricultural land in Gollalagunta and Gurrampalem has to be registered in my name. Returned to our office within 15 minutes on the motorbike of my colleague. The speed of Internet access increased by 11:00. Posted my blog “Hoyaaho Mumaamo” on my blog site by 11:30. Typed out and edited this blog two months ago. In this fictional interview, my friend Deepthi talks with me in Shilparamam for  long after kidnapping me. We talked about various things in it. Added a photo of Meera Jasmin to this blog. Today I edited and finalized 16 articles for our company website BwiredIn. Also typed out one auto responder email. Went to Victory Photo Studio by 7:00 in an auto rickshaw. Collected my eight passport size photos from there. He took 60 rupees for it. They came well. I felt very happy about it. Returned to the bus stop opposite Apollo Emergency Hospital by 7:20. Took a city bus and reached my abode by 8:00. Spent reading Sitara for half an hour. Anji brought a parcel meal from Kakatiya Mess by 10:40. We had it by 11:00. This evening I sent an email to Shruti Das. She is a software engineer at Infosys in Bangalore. Earlier she invited me to join the online professional network of Silicon India. I joined it. I saw her beautiful photo there. Her beauty encouraged me to send this email to her today. I want to see whether she replies me or not. Evening my brother Srinivas called me up from Visakhapatnam and said that he brought his computer home. He fixed it on his own. He is sharp. Went to sleep by 11:30 for my dreams.

17 August (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:40. Took my seat of work by 8:50. Today I added more beauty to my blog site changing its layout. Today I did not do useful work in the office. Afternoon conducted a written test to a candidate for the position of technical writer with us. Now he is working with Google in Hyderabad on a contract. He is looking for a full-time job. Paul Schriner interviewed him. He did not find him suitable for this position. He is looking for a competent technical writer who can use perfect English. Emailed my weekly report to Richard East by 7:10. This week there is no much to write. Bought a full meal parcel from Kakatiya Mess and came to my abode by 8:00. On the way, bought headphones to use on my Walkman. It’s a Philips piece and cost me 45 rupees. There was no water to drink in our abode. We need it to have supper. Went down with a plastic can in my hand. The woman I wanted to contact was in the portion of her daughter watching television. I politely asked them for water. She told her daughter about it. I asked for four liters of water. She poured 10 litres of water in it. She is beautiful. She must be 25. She has two kids. I liked her goodness for me. She would not have done so if I am not a handsome guy. I would not have considered her gesture great if she is not a beauty. Infatuation is a disorder of healthy creatures. Many crave for recognition and appreciation from the entities of opposite gender. We had supper by 9:00. Listened to my favourite Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for two hours. I deeply enjoy it. They heal my disturbed psyche. Went to sleep by 11:30.

18 August (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Had my breakfast in a hotel by Shankar Mutt by 7:30. Bought Eenadu andThe Times of India and returned to my abode. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. There is a special ad in The Times of India. They are searching for a talented leader to enter Indian politics. He or she must be young, visionary and dynamic. The name of this movement is “Lead India”. I have vision for the development of India. I will put it in practice when I get resources for it on my own. Listened to Telugu cine songs for one hour. Had my lunch by 1:30. Rested for one hour. Went to the rented portion of my cousin Shiva at Nallakunta by 3:00. Thence moved to KSS Hostel on foot. Spent talking with the hostel supervisor there for one hour. Shiva and I reached RTC Crossroads by 4:40. It started raining. We bought two 33-rupee tickets. Beautiful North Indian girls were coming out in their attractive tops and pants. I could not ask one of them to marry me. We saw the Hindi film “Chak De India” of Shah Rukh Khan in cinema Sudarshan 35 MM. It is excellent. Returned to my abode by 9:30 along with a parcel of rice from Kakatiya Mess. Listened to Telugu cine songs. Went to sleep by 11:00.

Woke up by 6:00. Bought a copy of Eenadu by 7:30. Spent reading it for two hours. My cousin Kiran came by 10:00. He recently bought a Honda Unicorn bike. It is looking stylish and solid. We went to Prasads Multiplex by 10:30 on his bike. We wanted to buy two tickets in advance for a film to be showed on next Saturday. They told us to come next Wednesday. My brother Srinivas is coming to Hyderabad this Saturday. We returned to my abode by 11:00. Spent rest of the day in my abode. Rested on my mattress for about four hours.

20 August (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 8:40. Morning sent an email to Varaprasada Reddy, the managing director of Shantha Biotech. He is writing about his experiences as an entrepreneur in the Telugu daily Eenadu every Sunday. I read it. They are interesting and inspiring. This email is to appreciate him. He is a great man of India. By 11:00 a candidate came for the position of content writer with us. I told him to do a written test on my computer. He had to leave for his office. He stopped it in the middle and left. We told him to come later being ready to spend two hours’ time in our office. Now he is working as a copywriter with an ad agency in Hyderabad. Today work was not assigned to me. I did not do any useful work for the company. Visited the website of the University of Hyderabad. Now Professor Sudhakar Marathe is working with the English Language Teaching Cell there. I also read the minutes of a meeting held in this university a few years ago. I found the language and organization of content in it great. Today I downloaded some beautiful photos using Google search engine. There are amazing photos on the Internet. Photos featuring nature, birds, animals, waterfalls, sunset, sunrise and frost are great. Today I played like a child on the Internet. There are millions of toys to play with. I played with some of them today. My primary school friend Hemakumar’s marriage will be held soon in Tirupati. I cannot attend it. He is a devotee of Lord Krishna. He got a gopika to live with. Left the office by 6:30. Brought a full meal parcel from Kakatiya Mess by 8:00. We three roommates had it by 8:30. Listened to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for 90 minutes. Went to sleep by 10:00.

21 August (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:20. Bought a pack of spicy peanuts for 10 rupees at a bakery for my breakfast. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Today I did very little work related to my job. Morning conducted written test to two candidates for the position of content writer. They did well in it. Our project manager Prashant interviewed one candidate for 10 minutes. I too was there. I observed the qualities of a detective in Prashant. That candidate is into print and electronic media. He is primarily a copywriter. Prashant did not like the samples of his work. I liked his communication skills and honesty. Prashant did not select him. The other candidate typed out a good essay though it was short. She is no good at typing. I did not select her. Paul Schriner did not like their writing skills. Very few can be completely suitable for any position. Every recruitment involves compromise and guess. Today I knew from our accountant that Sona Pudi was fired recently. They did not like her disobedient behavior in some respects. Afternoon a birthday celebration took place on the terrace of our office building. I saw a chubby and very fair girl there. She behaved intimately with the birthday boy. I could not know whether she is his love or what her position is in our company. I asked a few fellows about them. They are helpless. Meanwhile my team member Chandrasekhara Reddy interfered in it. He sarcastically asked me why I was much interested in knowing about her! He considers me a pursuer. My eyes search for food of exceptional beauty everywhere. Since I am a bachelor, he thought that I was thinking about her in that direction. I did not find her face attractive. Very few girls can meet my expectations of beauty. Nowadays very few can understand the outlook of a dreamer like me. When we cannot educate some, we need to get along with them. Went to sleep by 10:30.

22 August (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:20. Took my seat of work by 8:30. Morning conducted a written test to Neeraja for the position of content writer with us. She could not do it well. She is cousin of one of our staff members. I advised her on how to search for a good job that suits her qualification and interests. By 9:30 posted a blog on my blog site. It is my style of greeting my darling and film actor Chiranjeevi on the occasion of his birthday today. Also added the photo of Poonam Kaur to the banner of my blog site. She is an abode of inspiring beauty. I like to marry her. There is much distance between us. She is in glamour world. It is a sphere of depravity. I am in the domain of writing and admiration of beauty related to ideals and dreams. I pity her. I pity myself. Today I uploaded eight of her photos into my online Flickr photo site. Evening typed out a press release to publicize my blog site on the Internet. Submitted it to two online PR firms for free publicity on their websites. Evening sent special emails to three girls. They have three blog sites of their own. They write about many things on their blog sites. This is to check whether they can reply to me or not. Today I typed out five sales pitches for our company website BwiredIn. Morning bought a book on the basics of computer for 120 rupees for my brother Srinivas. Today I did not do much office related work. Left the office by 6:30. Reached Shankar Mutt by 7:00 in an auto rickshaw. My friend Krishna Varma came by 7:15. We bought and had a toasted corn cob. We spent talking for much time. Lent 1000 rupees to my cousin Shiva by 8:00. Krishna Varma and I had parcel meal by 10:15. Went to sleep by 10:30 for my dreams.

23 August (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:20. Krishna Varma left for village Rudraram. Reached Hyderguda by 8:50. Bought a pack of spicy peanuts for 10 rupees for my breakfast. Today I did not do much office related work. Spent all the time scanning photos and reading content on various websites. Today I sent emails to about six persons. Sent one to the head of Department of English at Jadavpur University in Kolkata asking him for the details of Swagata Gupta. Sent one to Taslima Nasrin, who is living in Kolkata now as an exile from Bangladesh. I sent her my four-page blog, which I published on my blog site recently, after she was attacked by some fundamentalist MLAs in Hyderabad. Sent one to Anita Satyajit, a content writer and editor, who works freelance from home. Sent one to Roli Agarwal at Google in Hyderabad. She is corporate communications and public affairs manager there. Typed out this letter after reading a press release of Google posted on their online space on the 11^th of May this year. It stated that the management of Google decided to buy land in Hyderabad for their own office purpose. I put eight questions to be answered by this lady. These questions are to check her intelligence and the speed of response from their staff, whose company can present huge amount of information within seconds on its famous search engine. It is how I like to be in touch with people. Very few can reply to my emails. They are incompetent to answer me. They cannot face challenges raised by me. I like this silent game. Left the office by 6:30. My colleague and I hired an auto rickshaw. Sowmya, an unfamiliar girl to us, also travelled with us. She sat beside me in it. I found her touch provocative and fantastic. I felt like kissing her. The suppressed instincts of a bachelor in me are craving for female touch. I gave my blog site and email addresses to her casually. I asked her to read them and email to me. Went to sleep by 10:30.

24 August (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:40. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Today I did a little casual work related to my job. There was a reply from S P Bala Subrahmanyam. It is in response to my previous message to him through his official website. He wrote to me that we two can certainly meet in the year 2008. I consider him as my master. He sang about 40,000 songs for Indian feature films and other purposes so far. The film songs he sang deeply inspire me as a writer. I want to meet other great people like Ilayaraja, K Balachander, K Viswanath and Veturi Sundara Rama Murthy. They made Indian film industry glorious with their commendable service for years. Today I knew that the parents of the Kshatriya girl in Kakinada did not like my profile for marriage with their daughter. I am 31. She is 24. They consider this age gap unfavorable to them. I like their decision. She is not a creature of extraordinary beauty, intelligence and creativity. Such living entity cannot inspire me as a writer or dreamer. They get hurt if they send me her photo and I reject her. I am looking for a temple of beauty. I did not savor even nominal friendship with girls. I think I already lost 10 years’ time as a lovesick creature. I want to enjoy and celebrate every moment in the company and thoughts of my wife. I am a sensitive and desolate dreamer. I like to seek fulfilment in my material life through marriage with an angel. I think my goddess of beauty is there somewhere for me. I am desperately waiting to see and marry her. Left the office by 6:45. Went to the abode of Rajani by 8:00. Had my supper along with him in Kakatiya Mess. Went to sleep by 11:00.

25 August (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Rajani and I went to Secunderabad railway station by 6:45 in his car. I bought two platform tickets for us by 7:00. Visakha Express arrived by 7:50. We received my brother Srinivas. We went to the abode of Rajani by 8:30. We spent reading Eenadu and watching television for one hour. He brought me about 10 kilos of homemade sweets and snacks. I put those five bags of items in the wooden cupboard of Rajani. We will have them later. We moved out by 10:30. We saw the Telugu film “Yama Dhonga” in cinema Sandhya at RTC Crossroads from 11:00 to 2:00. It is an interesting film. We enjoyed watching it. We moved casually here and there and returned to the abode of Rajani by 3:30. It poured for half an hour. We spent watching television. We moved out by 5:30. We reached Sappers Line in Secunderabad by 8:00. A wedding reception was being hosted there by the parents of boy. He is the son of a UCO Bank Union leader. The venue is Classic Garden. It started drizzling. My brother was invited to this function as an employee of UCO Bank. I found a girl very beautiful there. She does not marry me. She must be 16. We returned to the abode of Rajani by 10:00. Went to sleep by 11:00.

26 August (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Rajani, my brother Srinivas and I reached Kompally by 10:30 in his car. Pullam Raju and Rama Lakshmi, the maternal relatives of my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani, are formally entering their new house there today. We spent there till 12:00. We reached the rented abode of my friend Veeru at Journalist Colony ‘A’ by 1:10. We spent there till 3:45. We talked with Raja also, an associate of film actor Nagendra Babu. Rajani is considering him also, as a director, for his Telugu film, to be produced soon. We reached Secunderabad railway station by 4:30. My brother leaves for Visakhapatnam by Visakha Express from this station. Rajani and I attended a marriage at Kukatpally from 7:00 to 9:00. Reached my abode by 10:30. Went to sleep by 11:00.

27 August (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Today a statewide protest is being held by BJP and TDP parties. It is against the present state government being headed by Congress Party. Last Saturday night two bomb blasts occurred in Lumbini Park by Necklace Road and Gokul Chat eatery at Kothi in Hyderabad. It was a terrorist attack. It is estimated that about 46 people died in these incidents. The folks of these two opposition parties stated that it happened only because of the inefficiency of the Congress Party in power. They are staging this protest against the present government to express their sympathy for those victims. According to it, public life must be disturbed. Shops must be closed. Buses should not be allowed to ply on roads. Offices must be closed. I hate it. I pray God to kill these criminals of political parties. They are creating more terror than terrorists in this country after such attacks. Hired an auto rickshaw and went to our office at Hyderguda by 8:40. The security guard there told me that our office remains closed today. Came back getting frustrated at the decision of our folks. Rested in my abode from 10:00 to 1:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. Rajani and I left for Jubilee Hills by 2:00 in his car. We went there to meet Raja. He came by 3:00. Rajani and Raja kept discussing a story till 5:30. They sit together many times to finalize a story for a Telugu film. Raja advised Rajani to consider Poonam Kaur for the role of heroine in his film. We took leave of Veeru by 8:00. Brought a full meal parcel from Kakatiya Mess by 9:00. We three roommates had it by 9:30. Talked with my mother over my cellphone. She liked the three silk sarees I sent for her recently along with my brother Srinivas. She told me about a suitable bride for me in Visakhapatnam. They will send me the photos of that girl soon. Went to sleep by 10:30.

28 August (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:40. Took my seat of work by 8:50. There was an email from a job consultancy in New Delhi. She informed me about the vacancy of editor with a start-up company in Bhutan. There was also a short description of Bhutan. That information attracted me more than this job. I like the natural beauty and peace of a country. Bhutan got it in abundance. I responded to her positively. There was no Internet access to our computer systems till 12:30. I spent about two hours’ time without doing anything. My friend Rajani is looking for a great love story to produce a great Telugu film. I felt like writing one for him. I finished writing a love story in one hour. It is in two pages. Its title is “Prema Samaadhi”. It is a tragedy. The hero and the heroine die in the latter half of the story. It portrays the tragedy of love faced by two young, sensitive and innocent lovers. Also told our receptionist Catherine to write a love story for this purpose. She said that she would write and bring it tomorrow morning itself. A great love story may be in anybody’s heart. Today I edited and finalized 12 articles written by four writers and prepared eight blogs for a website. Afternoon posted a blog titled “A Reckless Dreamer’s Spotless Paradise” on my blog site. Four days ago I wrote a press release for publicizing my blog site online. I submitted it to three online PR firms. I don’t know whether they published it or not on their websites. I posted it on my blog site today to allow my blog visitors to read it. Left the office by 6:30. Rajani liked to listen to the love story written by me today but I felt tired and sleepy. We postponed it to another day. Came to my abode by 7:00. Listened to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for one hour. Had parcel meal along with Anji by 8:30. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

29 August (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of idlies in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:50. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Today I edited and finalized 16 articles. By 1:30 posted a blog titled “The Hell of Political Terror in India” on my blog site. There are about 2000 words in this blog. I wrote it as my response to the two bomb blasts in Hyderabad recently. I vehemently criticized the mechanical reactions of political parties after these terrorist attacks. Journalists should avoid talking with these blokes after such events because they are good at dirty politics but not in the matters of internal security and intelligence. Police are the right people to be consulted in such times. I also opined that the only person that can change the fate of this state is Jaya Prakash Narayan of Lok Satta. He must be made the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in the ensuing state election. Only an efficient, intelligent and visionary leader can change a society or nation. Voters should delegate their collective political power to such stars of character. I added the photo of a dove to this blog. I compare India with that bird which stands for peace and beauty. Islamic fundamentalists and economically developed nations are working hard to exploit and ruin India directly or indirectly. Evening our receptionist Catherine handed me an envelope carrying the love story written by her and her friend in her hostel. Left the office by 6:10. Reached my abode by 6:45. Read the love story, written in Telugu, by Catherine. It is the real story of a girl. She leaves her parents and marries her crooked lover. After marriage, he treats her badly and marries another girl. Her parents hate her because she married him against their wishes. She commits suicide. This story is to awake and educate innocent and sensitive girls about such dangers of society. Had my parcel supper by 10:00. Went to sleep by 11:00.

30 August (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:50. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Morning uploaded photos of Priyamani, Hansika Motwani and Nagarjuna into my Flickr photo sharing site. The first two are film actresses. Nagarjuna is a noted film actor. My online photo sharing site is meant for exhibition of beauty. Morning asked our operations manager Faraz about salary increase for the four content writers in my team. He informed me to let them do it after their six months of association with this company. Afternoon talked with my brother Sambha over my cellphone. He was in our rice farm at Peda Gummuluru when I called him up. He said that he is going to see a Kshatriya girl soon. He added that I can see her in person later. I told him that I can assess her beauty if they send me her photo. Earlier I met Mantena Aruna in person in Hyderabad, to see, talk with and understand her, for marriage. I did not find her much beautiful. I felt a little uneasy to express it to her on her face. Many don’t know about the value of beauty. They resort to extramarital relationships and prostitutes for bodily pleasures. A beauty, possessing great character, can be very happy and secure in the company of an admirer of beauty and idealist. I am looking for a girl with classic facial features, fair or very fair skin color, considerable education and creativity. I don’t know to what extent this girl meets this paradigm of my expectations. Priyanka Gandhi and Manisha Koirala got such features and qualities. Today I edited and finalized 16 articles as part of my job responsibilities in the company. Left the office by 7:00. It was cloudy and drizzly. Came to my abode with a parcel of full meal from Kakatiya Mess. Had it by 9:00. Read an English daily for 20 minutes. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

31 August (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:50. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Today I edited and finalized 10 articles. Morning a significant event took place in our floor. Paul Schriner saw my team member Chandrasekhara Reddy reading a Telugu daily sitting at his desk. First he signed to me with his eyes to correct him immediately. I did not do anything instantly. He rushed to him, took that newspaper from his desk, tore it into some pieces, threw them on the floor there, told him to pick them up and put them in a dustbin. Thus Paul motivated me to do two things. Typed out and emailed a warning letter to him and typed out a document of code of conduct for my team members. This morning I posted a blog titled “Manmohan Singh–A Bright Star of India” on my blog site, adding his long CV to it. This blog is to educate my blog visitors about the greatness of this Indian. By 1:30, we content writers, formally met Shehla Khan in the ground floor of our office. We talked casually among ourselves for 10 minutes for interaction sake. She is tall and fair. I did not find her face and teeth beautiful. Innocence and liveliness did not appear in her face. I found her feet and color attractive. She looked well overall. She scores 60 marks for 100 for her beauty. I liked her as an admirer of beauty. She said that she would join us formally this Monday morning. Evening typed out a long weekly report to send to Richard East in Ahmedabad by email. I strongly advised him to see that salaries are paid by the first of every month for a healthy growth of this company. Left the office by 8:50 along with Jobin Mathew. Had my parcel supper in my abode by 10:00. Went to the abode of Rajani by 12:40. Went to sleep by 1:20.

1 September (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for 20 minutes. Went to State Bank of Hyderabad at Masab Tank by 9:30 along with Rajani in his car. He got some work with its branch manager. We had breakfast in the bank. Their treatment would have been different if I went there as an ordinary guy to open an account there. The folks of banks do not treat poor people well in India. They neglect and insult them in their style. We returned to the abode of Rajani by 11:00. Spent resting and watching television for much time. By 4:30 got a phone call from Visakhapatnam. My brothers Srinivas and Sambha, and my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani found her very beautiful. Her name is Vatsavayi Satyavati. She is 21. She recently completed her B.Sc. in Computer Science. She wore a saree for formality. She is a modern girl. My folks went to their house to see her and assess her suitability as a bride for me. By 6:00 my mother called me up from Peda Gummuluru. She also told me that this girl is very beautiful. I have to go there soon to see and talk with her to finalize this matter. Night Rajani and I spent in a film office at Madhura Nagar discussing film related things with some folks there. We returned home by 10:30. Went to sleep by 11:00.

2 September (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. Spent much time in the abode of Rajani resting on bed and watching television. His friend brought fruits and small bottles of whisky. I had apples along with them. Rajani brought Chicken Biryani from Astoria Restaurant at RTC Crossroads by 2:00. We had it by 3:00. Came to my abode by 4:00. Varun Varma and I saw the Telugu film “Raghavan” of Kamal Hassan and Jyothika in cinema Devi at RTC Crossroads from 6:00 to 8:20. I enjoyed watching it throughout. We had chapatis in a hotel by Shankar Mutt temple by 9:00. Went to sleep by 11:00.

3 September (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:40. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Morning typed out and posted a blog titled “My Ranking to Indian Beauties”. In it, I gave marks to Indian film actresses and some other beauties. Priyanka Gandhi got 96 marks for 100 and topped this list of 32 Indian beauties. Added the photo of Priyanka Gandhi to this blog. This morning Shehla Khan did not join us as scheduled. By 11:30 our HR Manager Vahini informed me that Shehla Khan cannot join our company today. She got fever due to climate change as she came to Hyderabad from Lucknow. I called her up. She did not attend it. I think she is not affected by any illness. She would not have found a suitable ladies hostel to join. Today I edited and finalized 24 articles. Evening a programmer told me that the articles we are writing must be original. We are copying and pasting content from online sources. Only experts can write great articles on a number of keywords in a short period of time. They demand high salaries. Quality of articles would be great but quantity gets affected. I have to recruit some more content writers for it. Then some can collect information from the Internet and some can rewrite them to add originality to them. Left the office by 6:20. Talked with my M.A. English classmate Vijaya Krishna in Vijayawada over my cellphone. He is very angry at Islamic fundamentalists, who created terror recently in Hyderabad through two bomb blasts. I think 5% Muslims are bringing bad name to the rest of 95% good Muslims living in this world now. They must change their minds to establish and sustain peace in this world. Went to sleep by 9:30.

4 September (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 7:45. Had a plate of Upma in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:30. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Today it is the birth anniversary of my Lord Krishna. Typed out a blog titled “I Love You” on this occasion. The setting is my dreamland. The two characters involved are I and Little Krishna. It is a casual talk between us. We expressed our views on love. Posted this blog on my blog site by 10:00. Also changed the background image on the banner of my blog site. Put there a beautiful image of Lord Krishna and Radha. Today a serious discussion took place between my team and our project manager Prashant. He told me that I failed as a team leader. All the articles, produced by our team, are copied content from Internet sources. It is affecting the page ranking of our websites on Google search engine. They want these articles to be rewritten. They call it spinning. It means changing words here and there. I consider it a blunder. A subject expert writes an article using appropriate language and terminology. Only another subject expert, with compatible knowledge in the related field, can change it without damaging its essence and quality. Nobody in my team can do it. They throw a set of keywords at us and tell us to write about 50 articles on them per day. Such amount of work can be done only if we copy and paste quality content from reliable online sources. Originality and quality of articles depend on the standards and worth of content writers concerned. I did not explode before the three persons questioning me, for courtesy sake. I could not remain peaceful after this event. People without clarity and knowledge on what they are talking about are teaching me about perfection. I decided to type out a report explaining them what I want from them to achieve excellence at my end. Very few can face a radical like me. They are escapists. Went to sleep by 9:30.

5 September (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Went to bus stop by 8:00. Had a plate of idlies in Swathi Coffee Shoppe by 8:40. Took my seat of work by 9:00. Typed out a blog titled “My Salutes to Teachers in India” on the occasion of Teachers Day today in India. It is a savage satire on the education system of India today supported by bad teachers. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan talks with me in this fictional meeting. It is a two-page blog. Typed out a six-page report addressing my superiors, explaining them why I could not deliver the best with the tools and team members I got. It is a biting satire on the system we got in my team and our company. It was over by 1:30. I showed it to our General Manager Faraz by 2:30. He did not read it. He asked me about the abilities of content writers in my team. He is considering the idea of sacking them. Our project manager Prashant told me that our writers team must work for two more hours every day from today onwards. This is to rewrite the articles we generated so far and add originality to them that way. He told me to stay back and finish this work in that order. I did not find his order acceptable to me. By 5:00 I informed Faraz that I decided to leave this company. Submitted my resignation letter to our HR Manager Vahini Reddy by 5:20. It was accepted. I filled in some employee exit interview forms and returned my identity card to them. This is my last working day in this company. Later they will credit my salary to my bank account and give me a relieving letter. I felt happy for being relieved from this company that fast and easily. I have to attend some personal things before joining another company. I could not do them being busy with this job. Left the office by 6:20. Had my parcel supper by 9:00. Went to sleep by 10:00.

6 September (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Freshened up myself by 8:30. I can live like a human being for some days. I need not put on an identity card to hint the onlookers that I am an employee of a company. I am enjoying this liberty. My friend Anji and I spent in an Internet café for some time browsing Internet. I too chatted online with one of my friends. Informed him that I left my present job. He asked me “Why”. I replied, “Because there is no order in that company”. He remarked that it is the case even with famous companies. Many think that one should not leave a job until getting one in another company. I think one can search for and get a good job only when one leaves the present bad company. Richard East seems to be a miser. He aims at achieving great things with incompetent human resources and poor infrastructure. Such atmosphere in a company subjects employees to troubles and stress on every working day. These blokes are paying salaries around 10^th in every month. I am facing problems due to this late salary payment system. The HR and performance appraisal systems are poor in this company. A start-up cannot sustain appreciable long-term growth with such poor policies and systems in place. I could not attend important things being busy as an employee with this company. I want to clear them before joining another company. I have to formally see my prospective bride Satyavati in Visakhapatnam. Today I spent most of my time in the company of Rajani. Rested on his bed and watched his television there for some time. Today I did not eat rice at all. Afternoon had toasted corn cob. Evening had watermelon. This is partly to reduce my weight. Rajani and I had only 80 rupees on us this evening. We saw the Telugu film “Chandhamaama” in cinema Sri Ramana at Bagh Amberpet from 9:00 to 11:30. I enjoyed watching it 100%. We came back on foot. Streets in DD Colony were bright and silent. Went to sleep by 12:00.

7 September (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for 20 minutes. Rajani dropped me at Shankar Mutt temple by 8:00 in his car. Went to my abode by 8:15. Rested for some time on the old mattress. By 10:00 Anji and I went to Global View Internet café by Shivam Road. He is also searching for a job now. I revised my CV. So far I did not focus much on my structured application for a job. Today I did it well. This CV informs the employer perfectly what I am and what I am expecting from an employer. It is two-page long. Very few can prepare such CV. Replaced my old CV on my naukri.com profile with this new one. Applied for 20 jobs with companies situated in Hyderabad, New Delhi, Mumbai, Gurgaon and Bangalore. I like to let employers know that candidates like me are also there in India. They would find my CV commanding and so they hesitate to respond to me. I like this fear of employers. Now private companies are treating employees like machines. I clarified them that I am not a machine but an intellectual. I have to frighten employers like this so that only competent ones can contact me. I joined OMS3 in a helpless condition. I took time to understand that its growth is based on the helplessness of many of its employees. Evening talked with my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani for half an hour. The parents of Satyavati are taking time to finalize an auspicious date for a formal meeting between their daughter and me. I am waiting for that date. By 10:30 Rajani asked me to sleep in his abode as he is going to Visakhapatnam on some work. Anji and I went there by 11:00. Today is the last day of the 31^st year of my life. This year fortified me as a writer. I owe to Lord Krishna. Went to sleep by 11:30.

8 September (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. My cousins Sirisha, Vasu and Narendra Varma wished me on the occasion of my 31^st birthday today. I felt happy about it. I am entering the 32^nd year of my life today. I have 200 rupees only on me. I could not buy even new clothes. God is always in me. I don’t like going to temples for this reason. I believe that great things happen this year in my life. Took a head bath by 8:30. Had my breakfast by 9:00 along with Anji. Rested on bed for two hours. Watched television for some time. Went to Kakatiya Mess by 1:30. Bought a parcel of plate meal for 25 rupees in it. Anji sponsored chicken curry worth 30 rupees. We had it by 2:00 in the abode of Rajani. By 5:00 we stepped out of this abode. Kiran and I reached cinema Sri Mayuri at RTC Crossroads by 5:30. We saw the Telugu film “Chandhamaama” for the second time from 6:00 to 8:30 in it. I like this love story a lot. The beauty and acting of Kajal Agarwal mesmerized me. One song (Naalo Oohalaku) in it delighted me a lot. We enjoyed watching it a lot. Kiran bought sweets for me and put 500 rupees in my shirt pocket. He made me feel my birthday. Anji, Kiran and I had parcel meal together. Went to sleep by 10:30.

10 September (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. By 7:30 our hostel supervisor talked with a hostel committee member about my stay in this hostel as a paying guest. He used my cellphone for this purpose. The telephone in this hostel does not have outgoing call facility. Hostel committee took this measure recently to control expenditure at this hostel. The hostel committee member informed our hostel supervisor to move me into the first floor of this building where students are staying. I have to stay here as a guest paying 1500 rupees per month as room rent. I have to stay here for two months at least. I agreed to their conditions. He brought a cot and other guest items into Room No. F1 from the ground floor. I broke my mirror when carrying my things up on my own. I stay here alone as a guest. I like this privacy. Mine is a disciplined way of life. I don’t like an undisciplined guy staying with me. They recently started a mess on the terrace of this hostel for students. This facility makes the lives of students more comfortable. Three wooden cots are provided in each room of the hostel for students. I am not eligible for these facilities to use at nominal charges as a student because I am not a student now. I am happy as a guest here. Went out and bought a pair of flip-flops in BATA outlet for 69 rupees. Also bought a mirror and a toothbrush. Had two plates of idlies in Shanthi Deluxe Hotel. Returned to my room and rested for some time. Dusted my black trolley bag and made it clean. Had a toasted corn cob by 2:00 for my lunch. Evening spent at Global View Internet café for two hours.

Took the key and registration documents of his ‘Bajaj CT 100’ bike. I am buying it from him for my brother Sambha. He used this bike for about two years. Its rate is yet to be finalized. I cannot ride bikes with gear system. Amitesh and I took it to the abode of Rajani by 9:00. By 10:30 a bike mechanic took it to his repair shed in DD Colony to overhaul it. I gave him 500 rupees and asked him to make it look new. Rajani dropped me near KSS Hostel by 11:30. Had my lunch by 2:00 in KSS Hostel Mess. Spent talking with my hostel mates for two hours. It was raining outside. We enjoyed sensing breezes blowing inwardly. By 4:50, my hostel mate Chiranjeevi and I reached Vidya Nagar MMTS railway station. Our expected local train was one hour late. When we sat on a platform there, a pet pup appeared to me. I invited it to me. Patted its head affectionately for 20 minutes. It enjoyed my gentle touch. Touch means warmth and love. We went to Ameerpet by 6:30. Got a ticket reserved at a private railway reservation counter by road to Janmabhoomi Express for the 15^th of this month.

I hate these public beggars associated with the Hindu religion. Waited at the bus stop near Shivam Circle for one hour looking for a light bus. Reached NIMS Hospital bus stop by 11:00. Walked to the nearby Bali Photo Studio. Gave my negatives to them and ordered 24 6x4 prints and eight passport size prints. These big photos are to be given to the bride party by my folks when they are searching for suitable brides for me. I have to keep my photos ready to find a beautiful girl to marry. I have to pay 200 rupees for these prints. Came back to Shivam Road by 12:30. After enquiry, knew that two-wheelers are not being transported by public or private buses in this state for long distances. I can send it to my brother Sambha by train. I have no much time and patience to meet their formalities. Spent 1200 rupees for getting this bike overhauled completely. Took it to the branch office of Navata Road Transport at Vidya Nagar by 6:30 when it was drizzling. The bike mechanic rode it. This transport agent took 1000 rupees from me for its journey from Hyderabad to Adduroad. He took 150 rupees to get it packed with pieces of old gunny bags. It may reach there in three days’ time.

My hostel mate Chiranjeevi and I stepped out of it by 10:30. Hired an auto rickshaw and reached cinema Srinivasa at Narayana Guda by 10:45. The staff there checked us using metal detectors. Security measures were intensified after the recent bomb blasts in twin cities. Viewers are not being allowed into cinemas with bags and suitcases. Police are being stationed at crowded public places. We saw the English film “Rush Hour 3” of Jackie Chan in it. The sound systems in this cinema are poor. I got two phone calls when I was in this cinema. A girl called me from New Delhi. They want an editor. I told her that I would relocate to Delhi if I am selected by them. She told me that she would email me an online test. Another call is from GE Money in Hyderabad. She asked me if I need a personal loan. I replied her in the negative. We went to Kothi by 1:15 in an auto rickshaw. I bought a luggage bag, four white vests, three underwear, two lungies and one white handkerchief. They cost me 600 rupees.

When I asked that bloke if he can do that little stitching for me, he said that it costs 70 rupees. His words infuriated me but controlled myself. I asked him to reduce the length of my readymade pants and stitch the pieces of lungies together. He can do it in five minutes. Every tailor can do such simple work. He did not call me back. He does not need money. A coconut vendor too talked rudely with me. I think India developed a lot after independence. These two fellows by road, exploiting people publicly, is a testimony to it. Entered the head office of Kshatriya Seva Samithi in the building of Kshatriya Towers by 10:30. From 1:00 to 7:00 carried out data entry work related to distribution of scholarships to economically backward students in Kshatriya community in Andhra Pradesh.

Bought a pack of biscuits and a bottle of Maaza mango juice at some other railway station. Reached Vijayawada Junction by 2:30. Bought a pack of Vegetable Biryani for 20 rupees there. It was tasty.

We walked across it and checked the crop. By 12:00, Kranti and I went to the nearby house of her relative. I told her that we are looking for a suitable bride for Naren, the second son of my teacher uncle Venkata Rama Raju. She remarked that Kolukuluri is not a noteworthy surname in Kshatriya community. I regretted it. There is a beauty in their circle of relatives. I wanted to bond my cousin Naren with her. His surname played the villain role. Janaki served hot rice with chicken curry by 1:00.

Watched television for some time. Went to the abode of my uncle Srinu by 12:00. He was not there. Spent talking with others there for half an hour. Also talked with my friend Viswanadha Sharma there. He said that he found a suitable bride for my friend Rajani. Had my lunch by 1:30. Now my cousin Aswini (Datla Lakshmi Narasayyamma) is pursuing tenth standard at Adduroad staying in the house of my brother Sambha. I could not see two prospective brides for two different reasons. One girl is 18. She is very beautiful. She is pursuing second year Intermediate in Visakhapatnam now. When enquired, her father said that he gets her married after two years only. The other girl is not beautiful, though a graduate. Our stars did not match. There is a prospective bride for me in Narsipatnam. Initial enquiry took place. They are interested in me. First intermediaries have to go and see her. If they find her beautiful, I will go and see her. Took a bath by 5:30. My cousin Vasu came by 6:00. We took an auto rickshaw and reached Narsipatnam Road railway station by 6:20. Visakhapatnam-Rajahmundry passenger arrived by 7:20. We got off it at Durgada Gate by 8:20.

Went to the house of my paternal aunt Subhadra by 6:30. Spent talking with her for half an hour. She told me about her spoilt child. Recently he wanted to go to Malaysia to work there and earn money. His father has to spend 1,50,000 rupees for it. There is no certainty that he works there well. He is a thief at heart. If he steals valuable things there to become rich instantly, they throw him into jail mercilessly. His mother did not send him abroad visualizing his predicament there. He is playing with his parents. She wants to get him married once he becomes a good boy. It may not happen in near future. We got news from the father of my prospective bride in Narsipatnam. He wants to see me first to assess whether I suit his daughter or not. If he likes my look and outlook, he allows us to see his daughter. Then, stars must be favorable to both of us. Night my paternal uncle Narasimha Murthy spent in our house. We talked about various things. I learnt many things from this casual talk among us folks. Resolving disputes in our domestic and familiar circle of folks demands peaceful and tolerant approach from our honorable mediators. Went to sleep by 11:00.

20 September (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. It kept raining throughout the day. Spent all the day at home watching television. My brother Sambha is praying God for children. I did not find his lifestyle appreciable. He is overweight. He has to shed about 10 kgs of weight. I advised him to eat less and do exercises. He is not doing it. He chews tobacco related products and drinks alcohol now and then. He tries to conceal those things from me. A loving brother cannot issue serious orders to his brother. He is a good guy in other ways. My father is rearing a buffalo now. He daily takes it out to graze it. He need not do such things now. He plans to buy a product of 100 rupees when he got 30 rupees only on him. He borrows much money from others for it. He does not have adequate clothes to wear. There is no even a good bicycle at home for him to ride. He never gives enough money to my mother for buying clothes or medicines. He often advises me to save money minding my future. He is missing the present, planning and worrying about our future. A miser cannot enjoy his life when it is under his control. My mother is suffering from high blood pressure and knee joint pains. I have no enough money to get her treated well. My father likes to buy agricultural land instead of attending the serious health disorders of my mother. It is my brother Sambha that is bringing happiness and peace into our family to some extent. His wife Kranti could not win the hearts of my parents. This led to conflicts between him and my parents as well. Since my brother Srinivas and I are living away from our parents, we remained unaffected to that extent. Srinivas and Chiranjeevi spend money now and prefer ease of present life to long-term plans and issues. I am trying to keep all these creatures together. Went to sleep by 10:30.

21 September (Friday)

Woke up by 4:30. Spent watching television for some time. Read Eenadu for half an hour. Spent talking with my familiar ones for two hours. Took a bath by 12:00. Had my lunch by 12:30. My brother Sambha, my sister-in-law Kranti and I went to Adduroad by 1:30. We took a bus from there to Tangedu. Today we are going to formally meet the father of my prospective bride from Narsipatnam. The venue for this formal meeting is the house of the parents of my sister-in-law Kranti in Tangedu. We reached there by 2:30. Janaki, mother of Kranti, prepared sweets and arranged fruits for this occasion. She put a gold chain around my neck for decoration sake. I bore it for her sake. They came by 3:20 in a van from Narsipatnam. They are four men, including the father of my prospective bride. Our formal interaction session went on for about 90 minutes. The father of the bride hesitated to ask me anything. I took the initiative and told them a little about me. They told me about the bride. Her name is Alluri Venkata Indira Padmini. She is 5.4 ft tall and fair in skin color. She was born on 1 July, 1985. Her horoscope details: Jyesta Nakshathram; Paadham 3. She is currently pursuing her first year MCA course from a college in Visakhapatnam. She has one younger brother. He said that his priority in a boy is education. Job and look are also very important. He took my astrological details and four photos. They told us that they would get back to us after checking the suitability of stars of that girl and me. We came back to home by 8:00 by bus. Went to sleep by 9:30.

22 September (Saturday)

Woke up by 4:30. Freshened up myself by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. My brother Sambha, my mother and I went to Adduroad by 9:00. My brother Srinivas already started from Visakhapatnam. We three took the same Express bus. We four reached Jaggampeta by 10:30. The venue for transactions is the office of Sub Registrar there. The objective of this visit is getting the legal rights of agricultural land owned by my mother Datla Sitayyamma transferred to me and my brother Srinivas. The authorized document writer there wrote those details on some revenue documents. My mother donated one acre of arid land and one acre of wet land to me as part of this transaction today. She never got the crop related income also from this land formally owned by her. I like to give it to her from now onwards at least. I don’t know whether my father gives it to me or not. Went to Gollalagunta by 12:00. My maternal grandmother Buchchiyyamma is like a skeleton on a cot. She is counting her days to desert this material world. The property rights transfer work was over by 3:00. Took a taxi and reached Visakhapatnam by 6:00. Talked with my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani and nephews Sujan and Suhas. Went to sleep by 10:00.

23 September (Sunday)

Woke up by 4:30. Sandhya Rani prepared delicious dishes and Chicken Biryani for me. Took her and my nephew Sujan to a nearby Internet café by 12:00. Showed them the photos I kept on my Flickr site, blog site and email. They felt happy. By 4:00 took an Express bus at NAD Kotha Road Junction. Reached home by 6:00. Went to see my paternal grandparents in Ramayyapatnam by 7:00 on bicycle. They are suffering from old age related disorders. Talked with them for one hour. Gave them 200 rupees. Returned home by 8:10. Went to sleep by 10:00.

 24 September (Monday)

Woke up by 4:30. Read Eenadu for half an hour. Spent all the day at home. The father-in-law of my brother Sambha came by 9:00 from Tangedu. He brought a piece of news about the opinion of bride party in Narsipatnam. They did not like my aim of becoming a writer, after some years, leaving my job. They think that the profession of writing is neither reliable nor admirable. A writer spends by lakes, deserts, beaches and falls, describing dreams and playing with words. His world is mysterious and bizarre. He cannot spend much of his time with his wife and children. I wondered at their views about a writer. My father blamed me because I told them about my real age. He opined that I must have told them that I am 28. I recently entered my 32^nd year. I told him that I don’t like to build my marriage on the foundation of lies. I know that truths don’t sound melodious to hypocrites in the present society. If I cannot marry a beautiful girl speaking truths, I will do it telling lies. I am a right person in a wrong age. I shared angry words with my father in this regard. I told him that I would marry a girl of my choice soon if they fail to find one for me this way. I would shun the considerations of language, religion, community and region at that level. I cannot sacrifice my primary tastes and preferences for the sake of our family. I am a divine machine with a mission. Only God can operate me. Ordinary people cannot influence me. Reached Adduroad by 5:00. Kept waiting for the bus for 90 minutes. My cousin Vasu and I took it by 6:30. There was no even one beauty in this bus. I deeply regretted it. We had homemade snacks and coconut water for supper.

25 September (Tuesday)

We reached Vijayawada by 1:30. I cannot sleep well in a bus or train journey. My love for nature forces me to look out from the window. We were all asked to get off the bus at Hayat Nagar. This evening formal immersion of idols of Lord Ganesh takes place in twin cities. This measure is to control traffic flow. The masses changed religion into a fashion. Blokes in twin cities make the idols of Lord Ganapathi in various sizes with different kinds of material. They lost sanity of worship years ago. It is all a crazy show now. I hate these unhealthy trends in Hinduism. We hired an auto rickshaw by 8:00. We paid him 70 rupees after reaching KSS Hostel. The hostel supervisor allotted a student room for my cousin Vasu. I was feeling sleepy and looking dim. Rajani called me up and told me to get ready to go to Annapurna Studio at Banjara Hills. Freshened up myself by 9:00. We reached this place by 10:30. The formal inaugural shoot of Telugu film “Glamour” is taking place there today. They shot on the hero and a character for formality sake. I saw the awards and mementoes won by Akkineni Nageswara Rao in the gallery there. Strolled through this studio for some time. I love Nagarjuna. I felt as if I was touring his house without his permission. Rajani is an invited guest to this film shoot event. Came back to KSS Hostel by 2:00. Rested on my cot for two hours. Vasu, Rajani and I started for a walk in the Osmania University campus by 6:00. I showed the photo of my cousin Sirisha to Rajani. He found her beautiful. He expressed his interest to marry her. Reached this news to my uncle and aunt in Durgada over my cellphone. This marriage may take place if things go on well. It poured for half an hour. We had supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 9:00. Went to sleep by 11:00.

26 September (Wednesday)

Woke up by 5:00. Had my breakfast by 8:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:20. It was opened by 10:40. Internet access was not yet restored by the staff of BSNL. The overhead cables are not yet rewired in twin cities, which were disconnected during the formal immersion ceremony of the idols of Lord Ganesh recently. In India, only lunatics believe in and depend on the efficiency and reliability of public services provided by the agents of state and central governments. Fellows in higher government positions are sitting idly delegating their important duties to inefficient and unaccountable blokes in the private sector. India is looking bright at surface level but it is decaying internally. I hate delay in the delivery of services by public sector. I had to change a little information on my blog site and check many emails. I could not do it in time because I am living in India. It’s my bad luck. Came back to KSS Hostel by 12:00. Rested on my cot for one hour. Had my lunch by 1:30. Rested again for one hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 3:30. Knew that Internet access was not yet restored. Cursed the Government of India. Developed a résumé for my cousin Vasu. We returned to KSS Hostel by 4:30. Rajani came to our hostel by 6:00. We spent talking for 30 minutes. Went to his abode by 6:30. Took the homemade sweets prepared by my mother to his abode. He can eat them as many as he likes. Fat increases in my body if I keep them in my hostel room. We did walking in Osmania University campus for 30 minutes. Vasu also enjoyed it. Had my supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 9:30. Went to sleep by 10:30.

27 September (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:00. Spent reading today’s newspapers for half an hour. Listened to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for one hour. Went to Global View Internet café by Shivam Road by 9:30. There were about 250 emails to be checked and cleared by me. Two of them are from employers. One is from Bangalore and the other from Hyderabad. Replied positively to both. I avoided replying for a position of technical writer. Created a Yahoo Mail account for my cousin Vasu. Developed a résumé also for him. His communication skills in English and computer operation knowledge are poor. He has to improve them for getting a good job. Came back to KSS Hostel by 1:00. Had my lunch by 1:30. Rested on my cot for two hours. Went to an Internet café by 4:00. Spent chatting online with Jobin Mathew for 10 minutes. Knew that the four content writers that worked with me were fired recently. Only Jobin Mathew and Shehla Khan are there in the writers team now. Chatted online with a HR executive also. He informed me that my salary balance and relieving letter would be cleared in 15 days’ time. HR policies and performance appraisal system are poor at OMS3. I am happy for leaving this company in time. Hired an auto rickshaw and went to cinema Odeon by 5:30. My cousin Vasu and I saw the Telugu film “Yama Gola” from 6:00 to 8:30 in it. We enjoyed watching it throughout. I liked the beauty and acting of Meera Jasmin in it. We returned to KSS Hostel by 9:00. Talked with my brother Sambha. They found another suitable bride for me. The parents of Vatsavayi Satyavati are also interested in me. These things take shape after the 12^th of next month. Telugu calendar dictates it. Rajani came to KSS Hostel by 10:30. Spent talking with him till 11:00. Went to sleep by 11:20 for my dreams.

28 September (Friday)

Woke up by 5:00. Spent reading today’s newspapers for half an hour. Went down Shivam Road by 9:30. Enquired about the existence of typewriting institutes in this area. We found none. Speed in typewriting is important for many that use a computer for doing some work on it. However, typewriting institutes disappeared after the emergence of Internet cafés. Eventually we went to an Internet café there. The receptionist told us that they charge 750 rupees to teach basic computer applications per month. We spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café for 150 minutes. I applied for 32 jobs through naukri.com job portal. Internet made searching and applying for jobs easy. Returned to KSS Hostel and had my lunch by 2:00. Rested on my cot for one hour. Listened to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for one hour. Went down Shivam Road by 5:00. Got five of my photos scanned in an Internet café there. Uploaded these photos into my Flickr photo sharing site. Checked my emails. Today Telugu film “Chirutha” is released to cinemas. Ram Charan Tej, son of Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi, was directed by Puri Jagannadh for this film. I don’t like to see this film in tumult created by his fans. I have to see it calmly and write a review of this film. Evening my brother Srinivas told me about a suitable bride for me. Her name is Ganga Bhavani. She is doing a job with Wipro company in Hyderabad now. Her monthly salary is 40,000 rupees. She was a gold medalist at university. Her parents are much interested in me. I have to see her and finalize this matter. My brothers and parents are much interested in this bride. Went to sleep by 12:00.

29 September (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s newspapers for half an hour. Listened to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for two hours. Reached cinema Sudarshan at RTC Crossroads by 10:00. Bought a ticket for 35 rupees. Saw the Telugu film “Hello Premisthaaraa” from 11:00 to 1:30. Liked the beauty and acting of the heroine Sheela in it. Rushed back to Global View Internet café by 2:00. Saw the photo of Ganga Bhavani, who is working with Wipro as a software engineer. She is looking aged and ordinary. I would give 20 marks for 100 for her beauty. I felt very angry at my brother Srinivas, who considered this bride suitable for me. Called up my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani and told her that I would never marry a girl like her. Exceptional beauty is the most important criterion in a bride for me. My virtual death starts when I marry such girl. Ordered my folks at home not to bring such profiles to me. I am waiting for a beautiful girl to vitalize my life for long. My Lord Krishna is unkind to me. Went to cinema Sudarshan by 8:00. Rajani, Vasu and I saw the Telugu film “Chirutha” of Ram Charan Tej. It has a weak story. Charan’s acting, dance and stunts are excellent. Went to sleep by 12:15.

30 September (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s newspapers for half an hour. Rajani and I reached the abode of Veeranjaneyulu by 12:00 in his car.

1 October (Monday)

Woke up by 5:30. Spent reading today’s newspapers for half an hour. Walked down Shivam Road by 9:00. Went to an Internet café. Cleared my emails. Typed out and sent a four-page email to Gadiraju Swetha. The main purpose of this communication is to reach her my message that I am very much impressed by her beauty and that I am interested to marry her if she too likes me. She is tall, very beautiful and educated. Now parents, society and astrology are playing the villain roles in keeping many boys and girls unmarried and lovesick for years. Divorce cases are increasing in all communities due to ego problems and extramarital relations being practiced by many educated and rich creatures. Character is very important. Wife and husband should think and behave like a servant and an admirer to each other. The beauty of Swetha can inspire me as a writer and romantic. I requested her to give me a chance to meet and talk with her for two hours to think and decide something in this direction. I sent her two of my color photos as email attachments. May Lord Krishna help me in this regard. Returned to KSS Hostel by 1:30. Took my cousin Vasu to a small private job consultancy at Ram Nagar by 2:30. She said that basic computer skills are necessary to get a good job as a fresher. Listened to Telugu cine songs for two hours on my Walkman.

It made me more attracted to her. She remarked that I am looking old. She asked me if I am married. She asked me if I would marry her. I told her that I would marry her if she is very beautiful and has a great character. She commented that I cannot be active in sex because I am old. I advised her not to use abusive language in online chat also. I said that I am a devotee of Lord Krishna. She remarked that then I must be looking for Satyabhama or Radha. She is a fashion model. She is doing a show in Chennai soon along with her classmates. She is going there in a car along with her female friends. She asked me to come there. I told her that I would come there in a train instead. I explained her my rationale for coming by train. She liked my attitude. I gave my email id and cellphone number to her. She said that she would keep in touch with me. She did not tell me her real name. I did not mind it. Read a blog on marriage written and posted by Saakshi on her blog site. I found it incomplete. Typed out a blog titled “Kill Solitude before it Kills You” being encouraged and inspired by this blog by her. It got 12 pages. Posted it on my blog site by 6:15. This blog discusses marriage and divorce among modern and educated youth in India today. It is a classic piece I created. Paid 80 rupees to him for using his computer system for eight hours. Became weak due to avoiding my lunch and using a computer for eight hours continuously. Came to KSS Hostel by 7:00. Had a glass of sugar water and rested on my cot for 30 minutes.

3 October (Wednesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Read today’s newspapers for 30 minutes. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:45. The four-page email I sent to Gadiraju Swetha bounced. Sent it again changing the email id a little. It also bounced. I felt disturbed. How can I marry a beautiful girl in our community unless she reads the message of my heart initially? I like love marriage 100%. I think Swetha is not a lucky girl. Got two phone calls from two employers when browsing Internet. A woman from New Delhi asked me to come for interview for the position of editor with a publishing firm. A man from Bangalore asked me if I am interested in the position of content writer in Mumbai. He also remarked that I may not be suitable for this position as I don’t have three years of experience as a content writer. Returned to KSS Hostel by 3:30 and had my lunch. My cousin Vasu and I went to the office of Kshatriya Seva Samithi at Nallakunta by 4:00. I have to get my recently bought readymade pair of trousers shortened there by a tailor. Also edited the minutes of the annual general meeting of this community service organization held recently in Hyderabad. It took three hours’ time. Returned to KSS Hostel by 8:30. Had my supper by 9:00. Spent talking with Ramanadha Varma for one hour. He came here from Tuni. I showed him the photos of Mantena Srijana. Earlier I contacted them to marry her to my friend Rajani. She is 18 now. I told him that I would marry this girl if I cannot find any other suitable bride for me before this January. He knows this girl well. She is beautiful and innocent. She can inspire me as a writer and dreamer. I am interested to marry the girl from the NIFT. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

His father is the eldest brother of my uncle Chanti Babu of Durgada. I want to bond my cousin Sirisha with Rajani through marriage. I told them to come by 1:00 today. Went to the rented portion of Rajani in DD Colony by 11:30. He bought six packs of apple juice for this formal occasion. They came here by 1:30. I found Kalyan handsome. He is doing a big job with Hewlett-Packard in Hyderabad. They interviewed my friend Rajani for 30 minutes. After leaving his abode, they talked with me for five minutes privately. They found Rajani handsome and sensitive. The only problem is that Rajani does not have immovable property like agricultural land, a house in his village or twin cities. I did not like this argument. My uncle is a beggar on road. He should not expect much from a boy. Rajani has property worth one crore rupees now. My cousin Sirisha can be happy in his company. These dirty blokes are not appreciating that fact. They are looking for a jobholder. I hate a jobholder in comparison to an entrepreneur. Jobholder is a bonded laborer to an employer. I know about the hellish life of a jobholder. Let me see what these idiots do. Had my lunch in KSS Hostel Mess by 2:30. Rested on cot for one hour. Spent browsing Internet for one hour at Global View Internet café. Vasu and I reached RTC Crossroads by 5:30 by bus. We saw Telugu film “Vijaya Dasami” in cinema Sandhya 35 MM from 6:00 to 8:30.

An Englishman chatted online with me from London. He is looking for a business partner in India to invest. I asked him to find a beautiful English girl for me to marry in England. He said that he is not into that domain. I remarked that it is not a special branch as such. Reached the abode of Veeranjaneyulu by 11:00 on foot. Gave him 15 items of homemade sweets I recently brought. He has to prepare a formal invitation for guests to his solo exhibition of paintings, which he is going to conduct soon in Hyderabad. I went there to help him in this respect. It could not be done today. When called up my cousin Sirisha in Durgada, she reached me the news of the natural death of our maternal grandmother Kolukuluri Buchchiyyamma early this morning at home in Gollalagunta. I saw her recently. She was counting her days. Her soul left as per schedule. Hers has been a life of difficulties and endurance. I was in her care for five years as a schoolboy. She dedicated her life to her four daughters and two sons. Rajani and I returned to Shivam Road by 3:00 in his car. Rested for one hour. Went to my favourite BNK Salon by 5:00 and had a haircut.

Four girls expressed their special interest in me. I showed my photos to them. I liked two girls very much. They expressed their interest to marry me. I felt like marrying them immediately and thus teach a lesson to arrogant girls in India. I sensed love in their words. I am a lovesick bird. I told “I Love You” to all these girls because I love them. I could sense their warmth for me in their chat. I crave for it. I am a global citizen but I am lonely in my country. Came back to KSS Hostel with a heavy heart. Had my supper by 8:30. Went to the abode of Rajani by 9:00 along with him. We wanted to prepare cheese with buffalo milk.

Spent chatting online with others through Yahoo Messenger till 7:30. I am searching for love from girls on the platform of online chat. Girls are very few there. They seldom chat with unknown guys. It is true of Indian girls particularly. Joe Patric from Canada said that she loves me and wants to marry me. I assured her that I would marry her if she is very beautiful and got ethics. She said that she would come to India in the next December. Her English is not good. She said that she is an English girl. No language, religion or region to soul. I liked her innocence.

We hired an auto rickshaw and went to the office of Kshatriya Seva Samithi at Nallakunta. I am much disappointed with the mentality and behavior of tailors these days. A woman of our Kshatriya community there got a sewing machine with her. She charges me nominally for stitching work. I took two readymade pants to be shortened there by her. Gave 30 rupees to her for this work. We returned to KSS Hostel and had our lunch by 1:30. Spent at Global View Internet café from 2:00 to 5:00.

She said that she is a virgin. Got a phone call from a recruitment consultant in New Delhi regarding the position of content developer with the TATA Interactive Services in Mumbai. Asked her to email me more details about this job. By 6:30 a familiar fellow took my contact details. He is a Brahmin. He got the details of two Brahmin girls willing to marry Kshatriya boys.

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s newspapers for half an hour. Walked down to Global View Internet café by 9:30. Chatted online with available netizens through Yahoo Messenger from 10:00 to 2:00. I am being in touch with the people of the world. I am trying to kill my solitude this way. I am trying to find love in others for me through online chatting. Very few are reliable in online chatting. Many do it for fun or sex. They use abusive language. Very few can type as fast as me when chatting online. Rushed back to KSS Hostel and had my lunch by 2:30. Rested on cot in my hostel room for 15 minutes. Went back to Global View Internet café by 3:00. Spent there chatting online till 7:00. I actually went there to chat with Joe Patric of Canada. She used to enter it around 3:00 every day. Today she did not turn up. I was disappointed. I found warmth and innocence in her words for me. She enslaved me. I left an offline message for her asking her to contact me over phone or by email. I think she is a French girl. Her English is not good. A female of 30 years from Goa asked me if I ever had sex with my friend or relative. I replied in the negative. She remarked that she likes to chat with guys only. Since I did not have sex, I am not a considerable guy for her to chat with. Boys search for girls, like dogs look for bitches in their mating season, for chatting on this platform. There are many bad boys and very few bad girls on it. It is an effective and inexpensive communication medium for all in this world. It makes the concept of ‘global village’ realistic. By 8:00 got a phone call from a girl informing me to attend an interview for the position of content writer at Adarsh Nagar in Nampally tomorrow afternoon. Went to sleep by 10:00.

Found out where the office of Ecom Zera is located. There is no even one hotel there to have rice. Walked back towards Ravindra Bharati via Hyderabad radio station. There is a good AC hotel by road. Had a plate of rice for 30 rupees in it. Hired an auto rickshaw and rushed back to the office of Ecom Zera by 1:15. It is in the second floor of building named ‘Summit’ at Adarsh Nagar. They informed me to attend this interview by 1:30. They are looking for a content writer. The concerning person interacted with me for 20 minutes. They have three websites. They give ideas for suitable gifts to different people, occasions, seasons and places to netizens in 30 countries. He told me to write two short notes on two topics on a sheet of white paper. I have to give an idea for presenting a diamond ring to a beautiful French girl to the visitors of their website. I wrote it and showed him. He asked me about my expected salary. I said 32,000 rupees per month. He was shocked at it. He said that he would get back to me soon. Walked to Secretariat bus bay by 2:30. Thence took a city bus and reached Shivam Road by 3:40. Spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café from 3:45 to 5:55. Chatted online with Joe Patric and applied for some jobs through naukri.com job portal. Returned to KSS Hostel by 6:15. Spent talking with my hostel mates for two hours. Had my supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 9:00. A jobless person is hardly respected in the present society. Solitude and lovesickness are haunting me. I have to escape from them. Went to sleep by 10:00.

12 October (Friday)

Woke up by 6:30. Spent reading today’s newspapers for half an hour. Rested on my cot for one hour. Spent talking with KSS hostel supervisor Narasimha Raju for 30 minutes. Took a city bus by 11:00 and reached the abode of Veeranjaneyulu at Jubilee Hills by 12:00. We had lunch by 12:30. His solo exhibition of Tanjore and oil paintings is scheduled to be inaugurated by 5:30 p.m. on the 18^th of this month in State Art Gallery at Madhapur. He ordered the print of 300 invitation cards today for this occasion. His friend and Telugu film producer K Nagendra Babu will inaugurate this exhibition. Perhaps this is the first public exhibition by him at this level. He is financially weak now. This exhibition may help him recover a little from it. Spent listening to classic Telugu cine songs on his computer for some time. Priyanka Singh from New Delhi confirmed my interview at the office of TATA Interactive Systems in Mumbai by 12:00 on the 15^th of this month. It is for the position of content developer. She sent me those details by email after telephonic interaction with me. Spent chatting online with Joe Patric of Toronto from 3:30 to 4:30. She said that she would commit suicide if I don’t marry her. No Indian girl ever told me this. A girl from Canada did it. I felt relieved and blessed. One girl in this world is in love with me. Watched the Telugu feature film “Aaraadhana” of Chiranjeevi on computer playing the video CD. Took leave of Veeru by 7:00. Took a city bus at Yousufguda Check Post by 8:00. My brother Srinivas called me up and said that I have to formally see my prospective bride Ganga Bhavani of Wipro in Visakhapatnam very soon. It seems that brides are chasing me. This game is interesting to me now. Had my supper by 9:00. Went to sleep by 10:30.

13 October (Saturday)

Knew that it costs me 800 rupees to travel by a Volvo bus of APSRTC from Hyderabad to Mumbai. I cannot afford it now. I like to travel in a general compartment of Indian Railways instead. Spent browsing Internet from 10:00 to 1:00 at Global View Internet café. Collected information about TATA Interactive Services, story board, Andheri East, Mumbai and Juneja Industries. Returned to KSS Hostel and had my lunch by 2:00. Put two pairs of clothes and some other important things in my bag. Spent talking with my hostel mates and listening to radio for three hours.

Entered Room 102 in Hotel New Paris by 2:00 at a charge of 350 rupees per day. It is in Doctor House in Perin Nariman Street above Hotel Viswashanti in Fort area. They used this little space judiciously. A fellow brought rice and wheat rotis for me for 30 rupees from a nearby hotel. He took 20 rupees for bringing this food from there and showing this affordable hotel to me. Became weak due to sleepless journey last night. Spent all the day within this hotel. It was lovely and vibrant around. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

15 October (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Freshened up myself by 7:00. Gave 10 rupees to the room boy and left Hotel New Paris in Doctor House by 8:00. Enquired about availability of city buses to Andheri East from the CST. Finally decided to hire a taxi to keep my journey under my control. Got off it near Hotel Tunga by 9:00. Thence hired an auto rickshaw to the building named Leela Business Park. Had my breakfast in a hotel there. Entered the fourth floor in this imposing building by 10:15. The office of TATA Interactive Systems is there. Shanti Acharya came to me by 10:30. I did a written test from 11:00 to 2:00. Typed out a paragraph of 250 words on the topic “Globalization”, edited a passage and did two other writing exercises related to interactive online learning. Had my lunch in the third floor there being guided by Shanti. Those employees are striking and impressive. I felt uneasy, nervous and isolated among them. By 2:45 Shanti told me that I was not shortlisted. She collected the details of my to and fro travel expenses for reimbursement later. I could not meet Saakshi O Juneja due to time constraints. Took 232 route bus to Kurla by 3:15. It is a double-decker bus. I stood up throughout happily. Stood in a long queue at Kurla railway station and bought a ticket for six rupees to the CST. Bought a Tatkal reservation ticket for 467 rupees standing in the queue for a number and then waiting for my number to appear on the display screen there. Had two wheat dishes stuffed with potato curry for 10 rupees. Had a bottle of Mirinda sweetened water sitting on platform 9. Hussain Sagar Express pulled off by 10:50 from the CST. I sat on my berth 30 in coach S5. A passenger asked me to move to a window seat in S5. I readily agreed. My first visit to Mumbai thus came to a close in a good way. I love Mumbai. The winds of winter were blowing into our train. Went to sleep by 11:30.

16 October (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:30. The day already broke outside. Dudhani railway station arrived soon. It is in Solapur district of Maharashtra. I realized that the mesmerizing hill stations Lonavla and Khandala already disappeared when I was asleep. Vendors were bringing beverages and snacks into our train. Had my breakfast paying 20 rupees to a fellow. It is all public and authorized exploitation that one can witness in Indian Railways now. No quality in tea, coffee or food items sold in many railway stations and trains. Many vendors exploit helpless passengers travelling by trains for long distances. Got off the train at Nampally railway station by 12:45. Hired an auto rickshaw for 60 rupees and moved to Kshatriya Seva Samithi Hostel. Had my lunch by 1:15. Went to Global View Internet café by Shivam Road by 1:45. Spent there till 8:25. Got a phone call from a job consultancy in Hyderabad. There is a vacancy for editor. Told her to email me details about it. Spent most of my time there typing out a blog titled “Reporting from Hyderabad”. It amounted to 11 pages. This blog carries the details of my onward journey to Mumbai, my stay there, my short travel in it, the interview for the position of content developer with TATA Interactive Systems, my return train journey to Hyderabad and the related impressions and experiences. It came well. I felt happy about it. Posted this long blog on my blog site by 8:20. Somebody left a comment on my blog there related to love and marriage in the modern Indian society. She asked me to write for an NRI (Non-Resident Indian) website devoted to matters of marriage and divorce. I felt happy at her inspiring words. Came back to KSS Hostel by 8:30. Rajani and I had supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 9:15. We talked about this and that for half an hour. Both of us are searching for beautiful girls now to marry. My uncle from Durgada informed me that he is not interested in Rajani’s profile as a considerable bridegroom for his daughter Sirisha because he has no immovable property or a job. I pitied his mental maturity. Went to sleep by 11:00.

17 October (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Washed my clothes and took a bath by 9:00. I have got a bad cold. I must blow my nose frequently. Rested on my cot for two hours. Had my lunch in KSS Hostel Mess by 2:00. Went to Global View Internet café by 3:15. Spent there browsing Internet for two hours. Joe Patric appeared on Yahoo Messenger. She avoided chatting with me for some reason. I did not mind it. I am trying to practice unconditional love towards many these days. Applied for the position of language editor with a publishing firm in Hyderabad. Somebody reached me the information that Srija, the younger daughter of Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi, married her lover in a temple of Arya Samaj in Hyderabad this morning. She said that she has been in love with him for the last four years. They resorted to this act fearing disapproval of her parents for their love marriage. I did not find this boy handsome. I know that love is blind. I don’t know what made him attractive for her. It seems to be a serious issue for her family because of their status in the society. I support love and love marriages among good youth. I don’t find anything wrong in the decision of this girl. Life is short. Tradition and family restrictions should not damage the beauty of liberty and choice making in the life of an individual. Returned to KSS Hostel by 5:30. Rested on my cot for some time. I am getting disturbed these days due to poor standards of people. They are taking decisions getting influenced by surface picture. My cousin Sirisha is a victim of such society. Her ignorant and stupid father is the villain. Rajani and I saw the Telugu film “Thulasi” of Venkatesh in cinema Sri Ramana at Bagh Amberpet in the second show. Went to sleep by 12:00.

18 October (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:30. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Rested on my cot for two hours. Had my lunch in KSS Hostel Mess by 1:30. Walked down to Global View Internet café by 2:10. Spent there browsing Internet for three hours. Registered myself on www.couchsurfing.com as a member. They aim at uniting people across the world through voluntary participation. It is enough if a member got a little space in his or her abode to host other members. It encourages people to move from place to place and explore the beauty of regional diversity. It aims at universal fraternity and harmony. I like their plans and goals. Today Joe Patric did not appear me online to chat. Came back to KSS Hostel by 5:30. This evening the solo exhibition of paintings of Veeranjaneyulu had to be inaugurated by Telugu film producer K Nagendra Babu. It was cancelled due to the tense situation at the house of Chiranjeevi. Srija’s love marriage with Sirish Bharadwaj upset her father Chiranjeevi a lot. By 6:30 went to the abode of Rajani along with him. We spent watching television for 20 minutes. Then we walked to Osmania University campus for physical exercise sake. Cold made this campus beautiful and inspiring. Returned to KSS Hostel by 8:00. Had my supper in this hostel mess. My parents and brothers don’t know about my not doing a job now. I did so minding their sensitivity. They get disturbed about it. I am living a cool life in KSS Hostel now. I am not leading a mechanical life. I am eating good food in time and sleeping well. I have to do a job for self-reliance and society. Worthless blokes are scared to call me for a job interview after reading my CV. I am not a machine. Mediocre firms cannot deal with me. I am observing God’s direction carefully. Went to sleep by 10:00.

19 October (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. Had my breakfast and rested for some time. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Typed out a blog titled “Srija-Sirish Marriage– A Considerable Issue” and posted it on my blog site. In this blog, I discussed the nature of this issue and the course of action to be taken by Chiranjeevi. I advised him to take the easy way out and give a big party to all. Then it is up to him to decide what to do. Returned to KSS Hostel by 1:15 and had my lunch. Went to the office of OMS3 Consulting India Private Limited at Hyderguda by 2:30. Shehla Khan appeared to me in the ground floor but I did not like to see her face or talk with her. I did not find her a good girl. Also did not like to talk with Jobin Mathew considering his working hours in this office. Collected my relieving letter from the HR manager Vahini there by 3:30 and left this office. Spent watching television, eating many custard apples and talking about this and that with Rajani in his abode from 5:00 to 9:00. My father is coming to Hyderabad tomorrow evening. I have to formally see Ganga Bhavani, my prospective bride, on this Sunday morning, under his supervision. I don’t like this girl. I have to do some things to satisfy others. I don’t like my father. He treated me like a beggar when I was not earning money. He is a man of money. I don’t like such people. His growth as a human being is 40% only. This is my time to play my role against this biggest villain in my life. I don’t approve anybody if he comes along with me. He is not a good father to me. I regret this major block in my life. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

20 October (Saturday)

Woke up by 5:30. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:30. Spent there browsing Internet for two hours. Then went to the office of Kshatriya Seva Samithi at Nallakunta. I have to research into a surname. My teacher uncle Venkata Rama Raju is considering a girl in Tirupati for marriage with his second son Naren. The surname of this girl is Suraparaju. He did not come across this surname in Kshatriya families related to coastal Andhra Pradesh. I checked about it in an authoritative book on Andhra Kshatriyas. This surname is not mentioned even in this big book. Informed the same to my uncle. He told me to forget the case of this girl. Had my lunch by 2:30 and rested for two hours. Went to Secunderabad railway station by 7:00 by a city bus. Janmabhoomi Express arrived by 7:30. Received my father and brought him to KSS Hostel by 8:00 by a city bus. He brought two kinds of homemade sweets for me from home. We had supper in our hostel mess by 9:30. Rajani took him to his abode in his car. He sleeps there this night. He came here to supervise an important event in my life. Went to sleep by 10:30.

21 October (Sunday)

Woke up by 5:00. Saw my prospective bride Ganga Bhavani by 9:00 in their rented abode at Gulmohar Park area near Serilingampally. I did not find her beautiful. Rajani, my father and I spent talking with Veeranjaneyulu from 10:30 to 12:30 in his abode. We three returned to KSS Hostel by 1:30 in Rajani’s car. We had lunch in KSS Hostel Mess. My father rested for two hours in my hostel room. We two hired an auto rickshaw and reached Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station by 5:30. My father sat in a Visakhapatnam bound hitech bus by 7:00. He gets off it at Adduroad Junction around 8:00 tomorrow morning. Returned to KSS Hostel by 8:00. Today it is Vijaya Dasami. Walked to the abode of Rajani along with him by 9:00. Went to sleep by 10:30.

22 October (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent listening to Telugu cine songs and talking with my hostel mates for two hours. Rajani came by 11:00. We had lunch in KSS Hostel Mess by 1:00. He dropped me at Global View Internet café by 2:00. Spent there browsing Internet for two hours. Came back to KSS Hostel by 5:30. Spent talking with my cousin Vasu for two hours about human life and marriage trends in the present society. We stood by the road opposite KSS Hostel observing people and vehicles passing by us. It had just rained. We enjoyed watching people in such cool setting. I explained him why I rejected Ganga Bhavani. She is looking heavy. She got pale complexion. For the last four years, I have been searching for a very beautiful girl to marry. This girl lacked that quality. Many maintain two kinds of relationships in terms of sex. We can compare men and women to pigeons and bitches in this respect. I like to behave like a pigeon with my wife. Her physical beauty and voice must inspire me as a writer and admirer of beauty. There are many beauties in public places. They can provide me with visual entertainment. Since they are not related to me, they are like images. I have to derive pleasure from the realization that they don’t care for me. It is a tough test to be taken by an admirer of beauty regularly. It can be balanced to a great extent if one’s spouse is very beautiful. I have to wait for my goddess of beauty for this to happen in my life. My cousin Vasu and I went to Kakatiya Mess on foot. Bought a parcel of plate meal for 30 rupees. We had it in my hostel room by 8:00. Listened to Telugu cine songs for one hour. Went to sleep by 9:00.

23 October (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Listened to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for one hour. Reached cinema Sri Ramana at Bagh Amberpet by 10:00 by bus. Bought a ticket for 45 rupees. There was much time for the film to start. Walked a little distance towards Uppal and came back. Saw the Telugu film “Athidhi” of Mahesh Babu and Amrita Rao from 11:00 to 1:30 in it. There are many stunts in this film. I enjoyed watching them. I did not find Amrita Rao much beautiful but there is attraction in her face. Enjoyed watching this film throughout. Had a plate of Vegetable Biryani in Hotel Tejaswi for 14 rupees. It is by dusty road. This food item was oily and tasteless. Green grass is better than it. Spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café from 2:15 to 8:45. An anonymous entity left a comment in response to my blog related to the love marriage of Srija and Sirish. Typed out and posted a two-page reply to it. Downloaded the photos of film actresses from different websites and uploaded them into my Flickr photo site. There are 200 photos now on it. They are all images of beauty and my life. Exceptional female beauty attracts the eyes and hearts of viewers. I am a facilitator. Came back to KSS Hostel by 9:00. Rajani and I went to Kakatiya Mess on foot. We had supper in it by 9:30. I have 400 rupees in my bank account now. I could not get a good job with a great company till now. I have to pay 12000 rupees to my cousin Kiran because I bought a bike from him for my brother Sambha. I need money to survive. Asked my friend Rajani to lend me some money. He readily agreed. Joining a job is important for me now. The folks of my prospective brides hate me if they know that I am not doing a job now. I am nothing to them. My job is important for them. I have to change according to society. They don’t change for me. Went to sleep by 10:30.

24 October (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading Eenadu for half an hour. Walked down Shivam Road and bought the copies of English dailies The Hindu and The Times of India. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Applied for three jobs advertised in The Times of India. CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre (CII-Godrej GBC) is a centre of excellence in energy efficiency, environment and recycling, green buildings, renewable energy, water management, new ventures and total cost management services. I like to work in their publications division. Mindlogicx, a company, is in Bangalore. I want to work with them as a content developer. The third application is for the position of copy editor with The Times of India in Ahmedabad. Returned to KSS Hostel by 11:15. Spent listening to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for one hour. Balaram and I brought a full meal parcel from Kakatiya Mess by 1:00. Meanwhile Rajani joined us. We three had it in his abode by 2:00. Rested in KSS Hostel for one hour. By 5:00 Ramnadh and I started walking down Shivam Road to buy custard apples from tribal vendors there. We bought about 40 custard apples for 50 rupees. They cost about 200 rupees at attractive outlets in twin cities. They (tribes) come from nearby villages in bullock carts in this season. They are real Indians for me. They don’t cheat others. Thence we walked back to KSS Hostel. Some of my hostel mates took these fruit. I kept 15 custard apples for me. Spent browsing Internet at a nearby Internet café from 7:00 to 9:20. Vasu and I had our parcel meal by 10:00 in my hostel room. Winter entered the scene. I like these cold winds a lot. Romance and imaginations thrive in me in this season. Went to sleep by 11:00.

25 October (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Spent in my hostel room till 1:00. I did not see many beautiful places in twin cities though I am familiar with this place for six years. I think a couple can enjoy such tours better. When one is disturbed internally, one cannot enjoy one’s external environment. Money seems to be the engine of human life. When I was not earning money, my father did not like to talk with me about our property or income. After I got a job, he started treating me as a noteworthy living entity. Today I did not have money on me. This reality kept me inside. Mood dictates my acts on many days. When I am in a bad phase of financial independence, I cannot do good things useful to me. I can visit places, read books to improve my English, write something or meet my friends. A financially weak person does not look attractive to boys or girls. If half of the people in this world cannot achieve anything worthwhile despite their intelligence, commitment and vision, blame the conditions around them. Marriage became a burning issue for youth today. They are looking for many choices, to select the best one from them. Others have to compromise at many levels. Late marriages are a curse of the present society. When one loses innocence, one cannot enjoy one’s life. He tries to assess the monetary value of time before or after doing something. I regret being born in this bad age. Afternoon spent browsing Internet for 40 minutes. I have to join a good job. This is my urgent need. God has to help me. The parents of my prospective brides consider me as a nut if they know that I am jobless now. Vasu brought a parcel of plate meal from Kakatiya Mess by 7:30. We had it by 8:00. Eating, roaming and sleeping are the characteristics of a loafer. I am one. Went to sleep by 9:30.

26 October (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Mutyala Raju came to me by 8:00. Handed him 2000 rupees given by Rajani for him. Mutyala Raju talked badly about the present financial state of Rajani. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Spent browsing Internet for three hours. Typed out and sent a long reply to Shruti Das. Earlier she wished me by email on the occasion of Dasara. I informed her not to keep in touch with me because I don’t like such people, who spend most of their lives greeting others on special occasions only. She does not expect such reply from a guy like me. She replied me stating that she would certainly get back to me if I send her an email. Perhaps it is her endeavor to bridge this gap. I emailed her 12 questions. If she is unable to respond to me with substantial answers to these questions, it means that she is incompetent to be in touch with me. I want to check how she takes this test. Basically she is a beautiful and good girl. Earlier she invited me to join the professional networking portal of Silicon India. Had my lunch in KSS Hostel Mess by 2:00. Spent talking with my hostel mates for three hours. Got a phone call from the office of The Times of India in Bangalore. She informed me to attend a written test at their office in Hyderabad for the position of copy editor in their office at Ahmedabad. Felt happy about it. Strolled along the main road in Osmania University campus for 40 minutes along with one of my hostel mates. I advised him to depend on lies to marry a girl in the present society. He is 31. He is yet to marry. Night Rajani told me about the character of his friend Mutyala Raju. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

27 October (Saturday)

Woke up by 4:30. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Spent there browsing Internet for 90 minutes. Got an interview invitation from the folks of Mindlogicx Infratec Limited in Bangalore. It would be on 3 November. Spaceman Spiff left a comment of three short sentences on my blog, in which I wrote about her. This comment is meant for hurting me. It infuriated me. Typed out one-page reply to this comment and posted it below her comment there. I used quite abusive words in this reply. If a girl behaves like a bitch, a boy can become a dog. Had my lunch by 2:00 in KSS Hostel Mess. Called up my friend Colin in Bangalore and informed him about my coming to Bangalore soon for a job interview. He talked warmly with me. Spent rest of my day with Balaram. We two had potato cutlet for 10 rupees at the pushcart opposite Institute of Hotel Management in DD Colony. Spent reading books in the public library at Bagh Amberpet for four hours. I found that Rajani is not a reliable person. He took five months’ time to repay 5000 rupees to my cousin Kiran. I had two rupees on me today. I decided not to borrow money from him hereafter. Went to sleep by 10:00.

28 October (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for one hour. Rajani lent me 500 rupees. Kiran came by 9:00. He assured to lend me after getting this month’s salary. Gave me meal vouchers of Ticket Restaurant worth 500 rupees. Spent browsing Internet for one hour. Had noodles for 50 rupees at Tasty Bite by 2:00. Spent watching television in the abode of Rajani for one hour. My cousin Murali, Anji and I rushed to Dilsukh Nagar by 7:00 to see a Telugu film. Tickets were already over there. Had my supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 10:00. Went to sleep by 10:30.

29 October (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. This morning a new supermarket was opened opposite KSS Hostel. Before this, there was Sai Supermarket there. I used to see a beautiful girl, sitting at cash counter there, by entrance. She must be 20. She is a temple of beauty. Her voice is sweet. Her looks are innocent. Her husband is a partner in the business of that supermarket. He must be 35. He is black. He appears like an ordinary guy. He married her because she belongs to his community. She married him because her parents like it. She sat in that shop and helped her husband a little. My folks never brought such girl into my notice as a prospective bride for me. She looks like Swagata Gupta, the Bengali girl I admired and desired to marry once. Admirers of beauty like me die in a hell of ugliness and loneliness. I may not see this beauty again. I often felt like placing flowers at her feet and thus express my sense of admiration for her. There was no chance. It is how half of the dreams of an admirer die in him only. Hired an auto rickshaw and reached the office of The Times of India at Banjara Hills by 3:45. Sandhya was not there. She is the HR executive supposed to conduct a written test for me. She talked with somebody else over phone and got it done. I did this written test for two hours. I would have done it better if a computer was provided to me. I did it with a ballpoint in my right hand. This is for the position of copy editor at their office in Ahmedabad. He told me that they would get back to me soon. I am hopeless. Came back to Shivam Road by 8:00. Typed out and sent an email to HR executive Prerna at the office of The Times of India in Bangalore explaining the difficulty I faced today doing the written test on a sheet of white paper. Went to sleep by 10:30.

30 October (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for one hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 11:00. My friend Colin sent me an email. He provided me with details about how to reach his abode. I decided to attend an interview at the office of Mindlogicx Infratec Limited at Hoodi in Bangalore for the position of content developer on 3 November. I sent a two-page email to him with the details of my onward journey by train, the time and place of written test, and my return journey by train. I like to meet Swagata Gupta at the office of Reuters in Bangalore. Came back to KSS Hostel and had my lunch in the mess there by 2:00. My cousin Vasu and I took a city bus and reached Rethifile Bus Stand in Secunderabad by 2:30. Thence we walked for a kilometer and took another city bus. Thence we walked in wrong directions given by others. Somehow we could locate the office of HDFC Bank at Rani Gunj by 4:00. I went there to return my credit card issued by them two years ago. I think that a financially sound person is the right one to own and use a credit card. I did not get such financial status till now. When I contacted a customer service executive there over their phone, she advised me to cut my credit card diagonally, put it in an envelope and then drop it in a box at any of their ATM centres. Returned to KSS Hostel by 5:00. Spent at Global View Internet café for three hours. Typed out a blog titled “Can I Meet my Goddess of Beauty” and posted it on my blog site by 8:00. This six-page blog discusses my familiarity with Swagata Gupta earlier and my intention to meet her in Bangalore after a long time. It is also a commentary on love and admiration among boys and girls in the present society. Sensitive love stories are mostly failures or tragedies. Morning paid 370 rupees at a Reliance outlet towards my Reliance cellphone bill. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

31 October (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Read today’s dailies for half an hour. Now the drivers of auto rickshaws are on strike in twin cities. They are holding a public protest against the directive of state government to fit digital meters in all their vehicles. Now many auto rickshaw drivers are cheating people using tampered meters. I welcome this decision of state government. So, city buses got very crowded. Yet my cousin Vasu and I could reach cinema Sandhya at RTC Crossroads by 10:15. Thence we rushed to cinema Devi. We saw the Telugu film “Happy Days” from 11:00 to 1:40 in it. Most of this film was shot in the campus of Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology at Hyderabad, where the director of this film studied once. I enjoyed watching it throughout. It portrays the carefree lives of college students and intense love among them. There is almost no story in this film. Background score, songs and the casual look and behavior of main characters are the real attraction of it. It deeply influenced my mind when watching it. Returned to KSS Hostel. Had my lunch by 2:30. Went to Vidya Nagar railway station by 3:00. I did not like to reserve a sleeper class ticket on a waiting list. I decided to travel third class to Bangalore to attend the written test. It is one night’s travel. I can save money this way. My present situation demands it. Spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café from 4:00 to 7:00. It’s raining due to low pressure over Bay of Bengal. My brother Sambha called me up and informed me about a prospective bride for me in Visakhapatnam. She is beautiful and a graduate. Told him to proceed. Spent reading English daily The Hindu from 9:00 to 10:00. It is a classic piece. Went to sleep by 10:30.

1 November (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:00. Scanned today’s dailies for half an hour. Somebody called me up by 8:00. He wanted to meet me. He is representative of a bride party from Tuni. He is a honorary judge of my character. Went to the abode of Rajani by 9:00. Spent there watching television till 1:00. Then both of us walked back to KSS Hostel and had lunch. A new cook joined this hostel mess recently. He does not seem to be an expert in cooking. Struggled to eat the food items prepared by him. Rested for one hour. Kept a pair of clothes and some other important things in my bag by 3:00. Took a bath and got ready by 4:30. My friend Anjaneya Raju and I walked to the bus stop by Osmania University gate by 5:00. APSRTC buses looked very crowded due to the strike by auto rickshaw drivers. We somehow took a city bus and reached Kachiguda railway station by 6:00. Kachiguda-Bangalore Express was already brought to the platform. Bought a general ticket to Bangalore for 153 rupees. Forgot buying a platform ticket for Anji. He was talking with his girlfriend in Tenali over his cellphone. I don’t like a person doing other things when he came along with me to help me doing something. Rushed to platform 3 leaving him back. His important file was with me. Walked fast towards general coaches at one end of Bangalore Express. Anji was searching for me at the other end of this train. Engine was not yet shunted to this train. He struggled hard to find me talking with me over his cellphone. I enjoyed this drama. He could meet me by 6:45. It started off by 7:05. I did not get a seat in it. Enjoyed listening to the casual talk by folks around me. I could get a seat by 11:00. Thanked God. It’s a mess of the masses in India from the perspective of a privileged Indian.

2 November (Friday)

Got off the train at Bangalore East railway station by 6:30. This station looked me simple. I could not sleep well in the train. I sensed that my face must be looking dim. Got into an auto rickshaw. There was a girl with her kid in it. She wore a top and jeans. She was black but I found her face cute. She got off it at Banasawadi. She cursed this auto rickshaw driver in Hindi giving him 10 rupees more demanded by him. I could not understand why she got irritated and angry at a matter of 10 rupees. She must be doing a job in Hyderabad. He dropped me at the entrance of Jal Vayu Vihar Road by 7:00. He took 70 rupees from me. He took 10 rupees more from me. I did not curse him. Ten rupees does not make a big difference in my life. Walked a little ahead. A morning walker guided me in locating the rented apartment of my friend Colin Leslie Kelman. It is in House No. 203 opposite Dream Desserts Café. It is near Jal Vayu Vihar. My M.A. English classmate led me into his abode in its first floor by 8:00. Freshened up myself and had breakfast by 8:30. He said that his maternal grandmother passed away this early morning. His wife Gudrun Seth and his son William Alexander are at the house of his parents. The body of the deceased has to be preserved and buried tomorrow morning only due to religious reasons. Colin is busy in it. He took care of me greatly despite it. I found this apartment, furniture, neatness and richness of their living space impressive. He is paying 8,500 rupees per month for it as rent. This area is being maintained by Bangalore Development Authority. I found the surroundings good. Spent all the day indoors. Enjoyed Colin’s hospitality and goodness. Went to sleep by 11:00.

3 November (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Freshened up myself by 7:00. Hired an auto rickshaw for 100 Feet Road at Indira Nagar. He took 90 rupees. Got off it opposite Methodist Church, 13^th Main, 2^nd Stage. My M.A. English classmate Emmanuel was waiting there for me. Spent talking with him in his rented room there for one hour after having tea at a nearby hotel sponsored by him. Thence hired an auto rickshaw and reached the corporate office of Mindlogicx Infratec Limited near Hoodi Circle by 10:00. About 200 candidates came for interviews for different positions with this company. Had a plate of Biryani in a small hotel there outside by 1:45 when lunch break was announced by them. Kept waiting to be called for interview for five hours. A girl interviewed me for five minutes from 3:00. Sensed that she did not find me suitable for the position of content developer. Hired an auto rickshaw for 150 rupees and reached 100 Feet Road by 4:15. Thence hired another auto rickshaw for 100 rupees and reached the abode of Colin by 5:00. It rained. Colin and I reached Bangalore Cantonment railway station in the car of his father by 6:10. Bought a general ticket for 157 rupees for Kachiguda. Bangalore-Kachiguda Express arrived by 6:40.

4 November (Sunday)

Got off Kachiguda Express at Kachiguda by 5:30. Took a city bus by 5:50 and reached KSS Hostel by 6:20. Washed three pairs of clothes and took a bath by 7:00. Tried to sleep on my cot for four hours. Had my lunch in KSS Hostel Mess by 1:00. Spent watching television in the abode of Rajani from 2:00 to 6:00. My cousin Kiran came by 6:15 on his bike. We walked down Shivam Road and had hot milk in Shanthi Deluxe Mess. He lent me 2000 rupees. Had my supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 8:30. Today I felt sleepy and dull. Went to sleep by 10:30 for my dreams.

 5 November (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. My visit to Bangalore was successful. Earlier I lived there for five months in Madras Engineering Group and Centre as a Garden Boy and Recruit. It was a kind of chosen imprisonment for me. I am happy that I could come out of those fetters. There were traffic jams time to time. My friends are struggling to live peacefully in that city of crowds. I could not meet my darling Swagata Gupta. I knew that there are three offices of Reuters in Bangalore. I don’t know where she is working now. I don’t have roaming facility on my cellphone. She must have failed to contact me. Hope I will meet her in future. May Lord Krishna take care of her. It is a 12-hour journey to Bangalore from Hyderabad by train. I found my third class travel stressful during the late night hours. I know that I won’t be selected for the position of content developer. I am happy at it. Got a cheque worth 782 rupees from the office of TATA Interactive Systems in Mumbai. They reimbursed me for my travel expenses incurred because of attending an interview there. Dropped it in the box at the ATM Centre of UTI Bank by Shivam Road by 9:30. Spent at Global View Internet café from 9:55 typing out a blog titled “Let Love Live”. Took a 20-minute break by 1:30 and rushed to the nearby Shanti Deluxe Hotel for having my lunch. It is a piece of fiction. It is in the form of an interview. My goddess Swagata Gupta interviews me in it. Today I typed out 12 pages in it. I will finish it tomorrow. It is a great blog for me. Rested on my cot for 30 minutes. Had my supper in Kakatiya Mess by 8:30 along with Rajani and Balaram. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my divine dreams.

6 November (Tuesday)

Woke up by 5:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Spent there for five hours. There are two opportunities for me. Emailed my CV for the position of sub editor with upcoming English weekly DECCAN POST and for the position of content writer with a financial firm in Gurgaon. When I was typing out the remaining part of my blog titled “Let Love Live”, power cut occurred twice. I lost two paragraphs during this time. It’s like a caring and loving father losing two of his kids in a natural calamity. A piece of creativity or a result of years of research, lost due to a mistake of its owner or by chance, is lost forever. It cannot be created again. Cursed the rogues at the electricity department. This is what a common Indian can do in India when the nation looks like a hell from many perspectives. My mood was affected. I could type out four more pages only in it. Had a pack of biscuits for 12 rupees by 2:00 for my lunch. Balaram and I reached the Centre Point at Bowenpally in Secunderabad by 5:00 on his bike. My cousin Kiran sent me there asking me to check the quality of a portion to rent in for both of us. The rental agent showed me one. I did not like its floor and the mentality of the female owner of this house. He showed me one more. I liked this portion and the attitude of this woman. She told us to come tomorrow evening to talk with her husband about the rent and other related things. We came back to Shivam Road by 7:00. My cousin Vasu and I had a plate of Boneless Chicken Biryani and two cool soft drinks at Tasty Bite by Shivam Road by 9:00. Paid him this bill giving him meal vouchers worth 105 rupees. They are of Ticket Restaurant given to me by Kiran recently. This food and drinks are bad to my health. In India, many foods and drinks are bad. I cannot be good living among many bad things. Went to sleep by 10:30.

7 November (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for one hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Completed typing out my 20-page blog titled “Let Love Live” by 3:00. Power cut occurred twice. I lost two paragraphs. Today I applied for two jobs; for the position of language expert with the Hyderabad chapter of Chinmaya International Foundation and sub editor with the C & K Management Ltd. in Secunderabad . These two are suitable jobs for me. Came back to KSS Hostel and had a pack of cream biscuits for my lunch. Rested for one hour. Edited and finalized this blog working on it from 5:00 to 9:00. Saved it as a draft on my blog site. It would be posted tomorrow evening for all my blog readers to read. It is one of the blogs I wrote greatly and love deeply to read. This blog discusses love and admiration. It is my gift to my goddess of beauty Swagata Gupta. I am missing her a lot. I think she knows my email id and cellphone number. She never tried to contact me. I believe that she knows my blog site id and that she is following it. She appeared me in my dream very recently. I did not like the setting in which she appeared. The following day itself I had a dream of my marriage. I enjoyed that dream. I could not identify who that bride is. I wish she was Swagata Gupta. I like to marry her. I am in a critical situation now. I have to marry a girl of our parents’ choice soon. They are seriously searching for a bride for me. I like any beautiful girl to be my wife. I would be luckier if I can marry my sweetheart. I know that Lord Krishna directs me. I am a helpless character in His story for me. Let Him be kind to me. It was cold outside. I was sad inside. I want to see Swagata. Went to sleep by 11:00.

8 November (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for one hour. Listened to Telugu cine songs for two hours. Walked to the abode of Rajani by 9:30. Spent there watching television for three hours. Walked to Kakatiya Mess by 3:00 and had my lunch there for 23 rupees. Came back to KSS Hostel and rested for one hour. My hostel mates were watching cricket on television. They brought that idiot box from the iron sheet shed of our supervisor on terrace. He is in a hospital now recovering from the effects of a minor eye operation. These blokes are enjoying a lot in his absence here. My cousin Kiran left for Jaggampeta by 8:30 to celebrate this Deepavali at home. Rajani also left for his village Jeelugumilli to celebrate this festival of lights at home. My friend Anji came by 7:00. We two indulged in satirical talk for some time. Went to Global View Internet café by 7:00. Spent there browsing Internet for one hour. Posted my 20-page blog “Let Love Live” on my blog site by 8:00. This blog is dedicated to my goddess of beauty Swagata Gupta of Kolkata, who is working with Reuters in Bangalore now. This is my gift to my blog readers on the occasion of Deepavali. Anji and I had a plate of Chicken Biryani at Tasty Bite by 8:30. I gave him meal vouchers of Ticket Restaurant to pay for it. We saw Telugu film “Viyyaalavaari Kayyaalu” from 9:00 to 11:30 in cinema Sri Ramana at Bagh Amberpet. I enjoyed watching this film. The heroine Neha Jhulka is beautiful. Her face looks like that of Swagata Gupta. I saw my darling on screen today. We walked back after seeing this film. Shops with firecrackers are shining. I will not celebrate this festival. I am a solitary bird. I don’t have a girl to spend with. I am lovesick. May my Lord Krishna bless all my goddesses of beauty. Went to sleep by 12:20.

9 November (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Many Hindus celebrated Deepavali today. I did not find a reason to celebrate it. I am borrowing money from my friends. My parents don’t know that I left my latest job two months ago. I could not send money to my mother for this reason. Money is making a little difference in my life. I have to buy a new pair of shoes. I have to join a good job soon. I did not start running daily to reduce the excessive fat in my body. I don’t like to do it without a tracksuit. Fat is increasing in my body day by day. I don’t know how my sweethearts Lakshmi, Deepthi, Swagata and Saakshi are celebrating this Deepavali. My brother Srinivas is going on a nine-day tour to North India. He visits Vaishno Devi Temple in Jammu and prays that Goddess there. My mother is observing this festival traditionally at home. She prays Goddess Lakshmi to get me married soon. I am asking my Lord Krishna to get me married to Swagata Gupta. It may not be possible if she is in love with somebody else. I live in dreams. Dreams can be realized with the intervention of blessings and divine powers of God. My dreams are waning in the desert of wait for my sweetheart and struggle for excellence in my life. My cousin Murali went to Chennai to celebrate this festival along with the followers of Shri Ram Chandra Mission. He advised me to go to his abode. Reached his rented abode at Self Finance Colony in Vanasthalipuram by 4:00. Bala, his father and I saw the Telugu film “Nava Vasantham” in cinema Sushma from 7:15 to 8:30. Many celebrated Deepavali today bursting crackers. I enjoyed it like a silent observer. Went to sleep by 11:30.

10 November (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Took leave of Bala and walked to NGO Colony Bus Stop. Bought a copy of English daily The Hindu. Took two buses and reached KSS Hostel by 8:00. Had my breakfast and rested for two hours. This day looked empty to me. It was mostly because I had no money on me. My mood is down now. The self-publishing of my 12 books is getting delayed because of me. I have to buy a computer, find a good room and do the remaining editing work. I am wasting my time now. When my mood is bad, I cannot do good things to improve my body or mind. My cousin Vasu and I went to Secunderabad railway station by 3:00 by bus. Stood in the queue there and bought a general ticket for 98 rupees to Vijayawada for Satavahana Express. He has to do a written test and attend an interview in Chennai, for a job with Vedanta Group, on this 12^th. He joins his friends in Vijayawada and proceeds to Chennai from there along with them. I could not buy a platform ticket for me in a hurry. Took him to his train and left the station before it started. These idiots ask me for a platform ticket if a train arrives. They cannot resolve the problem of long queues at railway stations. Went to sleep by 10:30.

11 November (Sunday)

Woke up by 4:30. Washed a pair of clothes and freshened up myself by 7:00. Went to the bus stop at Shivam Circle by 7:15. Took a BPO taxi going towards Madhapur. Got off it and started walking from Jubilee Hills Check Post. Reached the abode of Veeru by 10:00. Spent there till 5:00. Spent most of my time there browsing Internet. Downloaded the photos of film actresses from a website and uploaded them into my Flickr photo site. This site is meant for the photos of female beauty. Came back to KSS Hostel by 6:30. Bought one kilo of packaged dates. Had my supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 8:30. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

12 November (Monday)

Woke up by 5:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for one hour. Walked to the abode of Rajani by 9:00. He returned this morning from his village. He brought homemade sweets and snacks from there. We spent there watching television for some time. We came to KSS Hostel by 12:30. He had lunch by 1:00. I avoided mine. Had a glass of buttermilk and dates. I am not indulging in physical work these days. Eating something nominally is also increasing the fat in my body. Rested for two hours on my cot in my room. By 3:00 my cousin Vasu called me up from Chennai. He informed me that he did the written test and interview well for the job with Vedanta Group. I felt happy about it. Went to Global View Internet café by 3:15 and spent there till 6:15. Joe Patric chatted online with me for 90 minutes. I don’t know if somebody is chatting with me in disguise using this name. She said that she is in Nigeria now. I wonder and suspect if a girl is talking with me lovingly. Spaceman Spiff wrote badly about me on her blog site. Typed out a two-page reply to it and posted it on my blog site. Now my parents are considering Mantena Srijana as my prospective bride. She is 18. She is pursuing her first year B.Sc. course now in a private degree college at Tuni. They are interested in me. I already saw her and found her considerably beautiful. She is not an exceptional beauty. I don’t know why God plays with me like this. I have to marry her to satisfy the community interests of my folks. They checked our horoscopes also. They are in tune. Spent talking with Rajani and Balaram for four hours. Had my supper along with them in KSS Hostel Mess by 9:00. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

13 November (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Went to the abode of Rajani by 9:00. Had a few homemade sweets there. Came back to KSS Hostel by 10:00 and rested on my cot for two hours. Sat on a rock by road opposite our hostel for one hour watching people and vehicles passing by me. Bought six bananas for 10 rupees. Had two bananas and dates for my lunch. Spent listening to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for one hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 3:40 and spent there browsing Internet for two hours. Joe Patric did not appear online today. The number of visitors of my blog site till now is 10,080. My earnings through AdSense for the last 20 months is $15:94. Even 2% of my blog visitors don’t click on my income generating ads posted by Google on my blog site. I think my blog visitors don’t feel like reading or seeing anything else after reading what I wrote there. I am enemy to myself. I like this special status. I am happy that my blog site looks beautiful and carries content and photos representing comedy, beauty, life, creativity and imaginations. There are about 10 devoted visitors only now who wish to read my new blogs within seconds after posting. I am content with this lot. People with self-respect, refined culture and intelligence like reading my blogs. I can be happy retaining them or increasing their number in future. I am doing nothing to promote the reach of my blog site. God knows me. Some people know me. Came back to KSS Hostel by 6:00. Spent talking with my hostel mates for two hours. Had my supper in KSS Hostel Mess by 8:30. When standing casually opposite our hostel, saw the exceptional beauty of previous supermarket. She came here along with her husband to buy something in the present supermarket. She threw a careless glance at me. I regretted missing chance of placing flowers on her feet. Went to sleep by 11:00.

14 November (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Spent listening to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for three hours. Took a bath and had my parcel meal by 12:30 along with my hostel mates. Took a city bus and reached RTC Crossroads by 1:30. Saw the Telugu film “Varsham” of Prabhash and Trisha from 2:15 to 5:00 in cinema Sapthagiri. It delighted me a lot. Spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café from 5:30 to 6:30. Joe Patric chatted online with me. I used hurtful remarks addressing her. She did not send me her photos during the last two months by email. She gets hurt if I go angry with her. I don’t know what kind of relationship it is. Came back to KSS Hostel by 7:00. My brother Sambha talked with me over phone about Srijana. Her parents are hesitant to talk with us. They are poor. They cannot afford giving dowry to me. My brother asked me if I am willing to marry her without expecting anything from them. I assured him that I can look after her if she comes for me with a bag of her clothes. He will go to their house on this Monday again to deal with the pending issues. Srijana is a beautiful and good girl. Both of us will be happy and feel lucky if this marriage takes place. My Lord Krishna decides everything for me. Today Children’s Day is being celebrated in India. I did not enjoy my childhood. I like children. I can express my affection for them kissing or hugging them. Touch matters. Their parents and relatives don’t allow me to do it. They term it as sexual assault or child abuse. Thus beautiful children remain like inaccessible heaven for me on this earth. Had my supper by 8:30 in KSS Hostel Mess. Went to sleep by 10:00.

15 November (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Last night I got up twice after sleeping. Tricky winter is bringing cold winds into my room to disturb my sleep somehow. Last night I saw two persons in my dreams. My goddess of beauty Swagata Gupta looked at my eyes for a long time. There were shades of desperation and self-pity in her eyes. Her image appeared me very clearly. Thereafter Telugu film actor Nagarjuna appeared and spent talking with me for about five minutes. He wore attractive clothes and maintained formality with me. I enjoyed their presence in my dreams. I consider it as the power of telepathy. It is a supernatural communication process between two persons. Only the participants involved in it can witness its wonders. It is a gift of God to human beings. If we love people, creatures and places deeply, a spiritual or metaphysical bond develops between them and us. When we fail to see or meet them in reality, we witness them in our subconscious state of mind at night. I love Swagata and Nagarjuna a lot. They also love me. We are unable to meet in physical environment now due to some inevitable constraints. So, we are experiencing our admiration and psychic attachment for one another in our dreams. These two persons also see me in their dreams frequently. It is a medium applicable to both existing and departed souls meant for mutual interaction. Victims of intense love, deep admiration and tragic separation mostly constitute this section of living entities. Telepathy works like medicine for deep lovers and admirers. I want to meet Swagata Gupta and Akkineni Nagarjuna. I don’t know when it happens. This physical communication void is being filled through telepathy. I felt blissful in my dreams witnessing these two creatures in my subconscious arena of existence. The realization of physical distance hits us once we wake up. Today I spent casually. Had custard apples. Spent browsing Internet for two hours in the evening. Went to sleep by 10:00.

16 November (Friday)

Woke up by 5:00. My cousin Vasu and I reached the office of UBS at Financial District in Nanakram Guda by 9:10. We did much walking and casual enquiries to locate this office. My cousin got an email from Aravind of the Union Bank of Switzerland in Hyderabad informing him to attend a selection process today there. They are recruiting graduates for entry level positions. He went in by 9:15. I was not let in. Remained outside waiting for him till 5:00. Stood there by security cabin watching UBS employees going in and coming out in the cabs arranged for them by their employer. I felt envious of their clothes, appearance and facilities provided by this company for them. I felt like an outcast before them. I saw two or three beautiful female employees there. Once I wanted to marry one of such girls. Now I realized that they don’t find me attractive. I like their beautiful clothes and lifestyles but I don’t like to do it. Walked up and down the long road over there and saw the beautiful buildings of companies like Franklin Templeton Investments, Cap Gemini, Infotech Enterprises, Sierra Atlantic, NVidia and Ista Hotel under construction. Had my breakfast and lunch at the little eatery beside the compound wall of office of the UBS. A poor native is running it minding the food needs of the workers working there in construction projects. This area is being developed for MNCs now. I had two copies of my CV in my hand. These MNCs don’t permit outsiders to submit their job applications on paper proactively. India is developing on papers only. Celebrities and politicians only can experience it. I am going to be a writer. Common people have no hope in India. My cousin was not selected for that job. His academic background does not suit the expectations of these MNCs. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

17 November (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for one hour. When having my breakfast in our hostel mess, two of my hostel mates asked me about my plans to become a writer. Told them that I would write two novels every year after making my first novel a blockbuster. One of them gave me the English novel The Glass Palace of Amitav Ghosh and told me to read it to improve my writing skills. Scanned it for 10 minutes. Read Author’s Notes in it completely. He worked for five years to write this novel. Six months’ time is more than necessary for me to write a novel. I depend on internal search for my creative writing rather than external research. I know that I waste others’ time expecting them to read my works. Why should I commit that mistake reading books? Had my parcel lunch by 2:00 along with my hostel mates. Spent browsing Internet for six hours from 3:20 at Global View Internet café. Spent chatting online with boys and girls in the Philippines, Pakistan and Nigeria. I was looking for others’ love for me in online chatting. I am a global citizen. My thoughts are universal. My approaches are international. At regional level, I am a zero. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

18 November (Sunday)

Woke up by 5:00. My cousin Vasu, a KSS Hostel guest and I took two city buses and reached Nehru Zoological Park by 10:00. We spent in it walking and seeing the living creatures there on show till 4:00. First we toured it in their Safari Van. We had Vegetable Biryani at Maharaja Restaurant there by 1:30. We did not enjoy the train and boat journeys. I saw many beautiful girls and women in it. Their beauty entertained me more. Some animals and birds looked weak. They are not providing them with enough food. I pitied their imprisonment and solitude. Went to sleep by 10:00 for my dreams.

19 November (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s dailies for half an hour. Spent listening to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for two hours. Went to Global View Internet café by 11:00 and spent there browsing Internet for 150 minutes. Spent chatting online through Yahoo Messenger. I have got a bad cold. I have to blow my nose every few minutes. Bought an Amrutanjan’s inhaler for 12 rupees. It could not clear my nasal congestion. Spent most of my time chatting online with a girl in Iran. She is 22, a Muslim and religious. Showed my photos to her. She remarked that I am romantic. Showed her the photo of Soha Ali Khan, an Indian film actress. She replied that she is not as beautiful as Soha. Told her that I would marry her only if she is as beautiful as Soha. She asked me about the meaning of the word “fuck” when I used it. A male inserts his penis into the vagina of a female and does the supposed act through his bodily movements. I defined it. She is a great human being. I liked her innocence and goodness of heart. We exchanged our email ids. She told me not to reply to her emails. Her father does not like her having a boyfriend even in a foreign country. Wondered at her plight and the dangerous impact of fundamentalist Islamic states on their women. Evening spent talking with our hostel supervisor Narasimha Raju. He said that a healthy man can have sexual intercourse for five times a day with his spouse. From 5:40 attended a telephonic interview with the HR executive of Deloitte for six minutes. From 6:00 to 8:00 attended the cultural programs at Shivam Temple. Enjoyed flute recital by Jayaprada Ramamurthy and Bharata Natyam recital by a group of children. Had my parcel supper by 9:00 in my guest room. Went to bed by 11:00 for sleeping.

20 November (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Last night I could not sleep well. Cold bothered me like a villain. I walked out time to time to blow my nose. Suffered much from nasal congestion. Bad thoughts disturbed the peace of my mind. Almost lived hell. It was a bad night. Spent reading today’s dailies for one hour. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Spent there browsing Internet for three hours. Came back to KSS Hostel and had my lunch by 2:00 along with my hostel mates. Rested on my cot for two hours. Could not manage to sleep. Went to Internet café along with Ramnadh by 4:00. Prepared a résumé for him. Chatted online with a schoolgirl in the Philippines. She asked me to send her $100 for paying her tuition fees. Expressed my helplessness. She appreciated my honesty. Returned to KSS Hostel by 7:30. My brother Sambha called me up from Tangedu. This morning he went to village K O Mallavaram to formally see my prospective bride Srijana. He saw her and found her beautiful and good. Her parents are interested in getting her married to me. They are poor. Dowry is a formality in good families in our state but a social evil in bad families. They like to give half an acre of their agricultural land and a few gold ornaments for their daughter. They will bear expenses for marriage on their part and we have to bear expenses for our part of this occasion (Upanayanam). Told my brother to go ahead. I did not enjoy the company of a girl or woman so far. Srijana will be my beloved wife. I like to play the role of a decent lover and silent admirer towards her. She must be the gopika sent for me by my Lord Krishna. My role is to love her and be loved by her. My brother Srinivas is also happy at this development. My hostel mates asked me for a party. I have a debt of 18,000 rupees now. Went to sleep by 11:00.

I am going home to attend two important events. Went to Global View Internet café by 10:00. Before that, got the two photos of Srijana scanned at an Internet café there. Typed out a three-page letter addressing my sweetheart Deepthi. Emailed it to her along with the two photos of Srijana. In this letter, I shared the news of my marriage with Srijana with her. I asked her to lend me one lakh rupees. Now I have a debt of 20,000 rupees. Being jobless for three months made me so. My cousin Kiran and my friend Rajani lent me this money. I want to clear it. I think that only Deepthi can help me out. I cannot enjoy the days before my marriage in this poor financial position. I am not in touch with Deepthi for long. I meet her now and then in my dreams. It is telepathy. God guides it. I emailed the details of my three bank accounts to her. She has to deposit that money into any of these bank accounts before 3 December. I don’t mind even if she does not help me. I am practicing unconditional love. Had my parcel supper in KSS Hostel by 9:00. My parents and brothers found Srijana suitable for me. Her parents want me to educate her further. I can do it happily. My hair was cut short recently. I got cold and low fever. My face turned dim due to these health disorders. My look is affected. Hope my Lord Krishna relieves me from them soon. I am a character in His story. I am playing my destined role. Went to sleep by 10:00.

He had to look after them as the eldest son in their family. He married a girl when he was about 30. It was to allow his siblings to get married. After their marriages, he came to Telangana region along with his wife and two children to eke out a living. He worked in agricultural farms for about 30 years. Got his daughter and son married. His son got a small job. He is not happy with his daughter’s married life. Her husband is a drunkard. They could not change him. She left him and started living independently with her daughter and son. He spent all his savings and got a small house constructed for his helpless daughter in a place near Hayat Nagar. He told his son never to come to his abode. He has nothing to give him. He is not expecting anything from him. He played his role as a good father. He decided to spend the dusk of his life peacefully with his wife. He is getting 2500 rupees per month now as salary for his job in this hostel as a supervisor. He rides his old bicycle to go to any place in twin cities. He has no diseases. He lost his teeth. He eats softened foods. He did not smoke, drink or sleep with other women. He saved some money for his funeral after his death. He does not pray God. He does not go to temples. He has no immovable property or bank balance. He decided to face his life till the end. He is a real Indian. Went to sleep by 11:00.

I could answer her questions clearly. A beautiful girl entrained at Eluru railway station. I helped her keep her luggage on the iron rack above me. She must be 18. She wore glasses.

We knew that they would come in the afternoon. I was waiting for them to come and see me. Rested for some time to keep my face handsome. In such situations, we cannot believe in our features and abilities also. The low fever in me left a sign of weakness in my eyes. They came by 3:15. The father of Srijana, her maternal grandfather, her maternal uncle Sekhar and a relative came. My uncle Narayana Murthy served coffee and snacks to them formally. My father, my brother Sambha and they exchanged some words for formality sake. My father told me to sustain more silence in this scene. He asked them to talk more. They expressed their inability.

26 November (Monday)

Woke up by 5:00. Last night I could not sleep for long. The inspiring beauty of Srijana made me mad. She appeared me like moon. I could see her for about five minutes. My teacher uncle Venkata Rama Raju asked her about her education. She replied to him like a convent kid. Her brother and friends called me inside. My goddess of beauty stood there. She was trying to avoid her looks at my face. I could not look into her face. The power of her beauty made me nervous. Her friends asked for my name. When I replied ‘Chiranjeevi’, they called me mega star. They compared me with Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi. The eyes and voice of Srijana attracted me. I found her friends good. I enjoyed their cheerful talk with me. Srijana is one of the great beauties of India. I owe a lot to my Lord Krishna for bringing Srijana into my life this way. She appeared very beautiful in a light green saree with gold ornaments. Her brother asked me for my photos. We did not take them with us. I told him to take them later from my brother Sambha. I felt as if I was going away from my temple of beauty. This separation and lovesickness are for a few days only. Our marriage would be perhaps in the coming February. My Lord Krishna has to supervise my marriage with her. Morning said my prayers and put 100 rupees in the donation collection box at the temple of Lord Shiva by the pond, a little away from our house. May all gods and goddesses bless me. Afternoon went to Elamanchili along with my cousin Narendra Varma to carry out a work.

Sensed the gentle touch of breezes. Bought a copy of Eenadu and scanned it for 20 minutes. Janmabhoomi Express (from Visakhapatnam) arrived by 7:30. Ran to my reservation coach at the front. A boy of about 10 years was sleeping on my seat. I told his grandparents to remove him from there. They found me insensitive. I hate such eccentric people. They don’t understand that they are not supposed to behave stupidly in the reservation coach of a train. Sat on my seat numbered 71 in coach D1. That bad boy behaved like a tamed monkey throughout the journey. I patiently bore his presence and monkey acts for courtesy sake. His dirty father or grandparents did not have controlling power on him. I felt like throwing him out of the train. He transformed our space into a circus ring. A beauty of 28 entered our coach soon. Looked at her now and then for solace. She was resting closing her eyes sitting by window. I was suffering from low fever. I turned dim and felt weak. Reached Secunderabad railway station by 7:40.

Also applied for two jobs in response to the ads placed in The Times of India. I must join a good job immediately. I told Srijana that I am doing a job now at a monthly salary of 20,000 rupees. I told this sweet lie to marry her because I deeply love her. I can feel secure and avoid the pain of guilt after joining a good job. Part of my life is dedicated to my goddess Srijana now. I must keep my promises made to her and make her happy. My Lord Krishna knows well about me. It is His responsibility to get a job for me soon. I am helpless in this regard. Had my parcel meal in KSS Hostel Mess by 2:00. I am still suffering from low fever. I have to drink and bath with cold water here. The life of a good and poor bachelor won’t be much happy before his marriage. Started for a stroll along with my hostel mate Chiranjeevi by 6:00 into Osmania University campus. Meanwhile my brother Sambha called me up from our nearby village Koruprolu. He had just met our family priest in that village along with the father and maternal grandfather of Srijana.

I strongly clarified him that I would marry Srijana only. Also decided not to talk with my parents for some time. They are playing villain roles against me in this regard. I want to punish them. Immediately called up my brothers Sambha and Srinivas. Informed them seriously that Srijana is going to be my wife. They must play their roles properly for the marriage of Chiranjeevi and Srijana.

She too talked tensely. It lasted for 30 seconds. She is going to Palakollu to attend a marriage along with her father. Asked her to talk with me this night after 8:00. She agreed for it. It is one of the happiest moments in my life. My darling Srijana is antidote to the poison of lovesickness and solitude disturbing me for years. I ran after girls craving for their love. They ignored or insulted me with their carelessness or silence. I have been a patient of love. My director Lord Krishna sent Doctor Srijana into my life to cure me and set me right. I am feeling blissful realizing this truth now. Went to the Deccan Pen Stores outlet opposite BATA showroom at Abids by 1:00. Bought a 2008 diary, published by Eagle Press in Chennai, for me, for 86 rupees. It is a tourist guide version. It has some useful maps.

She is also a devotee of Lord Krishna like me. We will lead our lives happily worshipping Him. She is the darling of her father. He loves her a lot. She likes watching the films of Telugu actor Prabhas. She does not study hard. She is a bit intelligent student. She wants to pursue MCA course and do a job. She asked me if I would allow her to do a job. I am her admirer. A devotee cannot disobey the orders of his goddess. She is my gopika. Her friends also said that her voice on phone sounds like that of a convent kid. I too found it. She is religious. She fasts on holy days. It is perhaps requesting God to bless her with a good husband and a happy life in his company. When she was in her 9^th standard, her father told her to marry her cousin Datla Srinivasa Raju. She refused to marry him considering her age then. Her father did not talk with her for one month. She too avoided it. Later he talked with her. She too continued.

She asked me if I would allow her to study for two years in the same college after our marriage. I told her that it is impossible because she is my goddess of life and that I cannot live keeping her away from me. She understood it. She loves her maternal grandmother a lot. She has to see her once a week at least. Otherwise she gets fever. I told her that she would forget everybody after living with me for some days. It is the power of love of writer, dreamer, romantic and visionary Chiranjeevi. She is not drinking milk. She is good at cards. She is very fond of chocolates. She is possessive about her classmates and friends. She said that she is a stubborn girl. I told her that Chiranjeevi only appears in her later when one observes her.

I think her exams won’t be a matter of concern in this setting. My Lord Krishna guides us well. Today Srijana talked with me in the afternoon and evening. This matter was not finalized before she left for K O Mallavaram by her college bus from Tuni this evening. She already agreed to an early marriage if circumstances demand. I am in such a situation now wherein I have to contemplate and coordinate the event of our marriage. Others are playing passive roles. I have to be proactive.

She told me to come to their office by 3:00 tomorrow for the second round of interview. Had my lunch by 1:30. Talked with Srijana for 10 minutes when she was having her lunch along with her classmates in the college. She has got a bad cold. It attacked her during their recent picnic tour to Araku Valley. She waits until her body cures it. She advised me to learn cooking. She eats very little. I too do the same. I think we need not cook. Watched the Telugu feature film “Bunny” on the computer screen of Veeru playing a CD from 2:00 to 5:30. It is exciting. By 6:30 my brother Sambha called me up and informed me about the marriage date decided this evening by our family priest in village Koruprolu. My gopika Srijana and I get married on 23 March, 2008, at 9:25 p.m. IST. My Upanayanam takes place by 8:30 a.m. that morning. I am very happy now. My life is going to be blissful with the advent of Srijana. I am grateful to Lord Krishna. He is binding me with a perfect girl. I will be her lover, caretaker, guide and servant. She is a God’s gift to me. I will play my role well to deserve the blessings of God. Had supper by 7:30 in the abode of Veeru. Bought eight small apples for 20 rupees. Reached our apartment by 10:00. Kiran and I had these apples to celebrate the moments of my confirmed marriage date. Went to sleep by 11:30.

11 December (Tuesday)

Woke up by 5:00. Drank two glasses of hot water by 6:30. It is part of my regular water treatment. In winter, hot water is good to drink and bath. Kiran had hot milk instead. Had my breakfast by 9:30 in the nearby hotel. Took two buses and reached the abode of Veeru by 11:30. Put on his table fan and rested for one hour. It was to refresh myself and appear well to the person interviewing me. Had my lunch by 1:30. Reached Prakasham Nagar bus stop by 2:00. There was much time for the interview. Had a glass of sugarcane juice and spent reading Telugu daily Andhra Jyothi for half an hour. Entered the office of Bodhtree Consulting by 2:45. HR executive Madhavi asked me to wait at the reception counter for a few minutes. By 3:05 their office boy took me to their office on the other side of the road. One person interviewed me for five minutes. It was all about my academic and employment background and personal life. Answered him boldly and coolly. Found him satisfied with my answers. He said that they would get back to me. Took two public vehicles and reached our apartment by 5:00. Listened to my favourite Telugu cine songs on my Walkman for three hours. I am disturbed about much delay in getting a job. May Lord Krishna bless me. Had my supper in the nearby hotel by 8:00. Today Srijana talked with me twice; in the afternoon and at night. We talked like two school students. She told me that she is a stubborn girl. I told her that even rocks melt in my company of love. She is still suffering from cold. Advised her to consume lemon juice frequently for improving her immunity. Her father and her brother Vamsy also talked with me at night. Vamsy told me to bring a gift for him when I go there for marriage. I assured it. Srijana is all for me. I love everything she likes and belongs to. May Lord Krishna provide me with enough energy and intelligence to keep her happy always. Went to sleep by 11:00.

12 December (Wednesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Spent reading today’s newspapers most of the time. Went to a nearby Internet café by 10:30. Spent there browsing Internet for two hours. Raja of Molleru Mallavaram congratulated me on my getting a suitable bride for marriage. Applied for a job with Ochre Media in Hyderabad in response to their ad in The Times of India today. Chatted online with Parisa in Iran and the girl from the Philippines. Parisa is taking exams now. The girl from the Philippines agreed to marry my friend Veeranjaneyulu. Told her to send her photos by email. Veeru wants to see her beauty first. Had my lunch in Sri Sai Krishna Hotel by 1:00. Spending time alone is an art. I struggled a bit today to do it. Finished reading today’s dailies by 5:30. Had a glass of hot water. Went out and bought a copy of Telugu edition of English weekly India Today. Spent reading it for two hours. Wondered reading a report on the assembly election going on in Gujarat now. The character, lifestyle and values of Narendra Modi are admirable. He developed Gujarat a lot in five years as its amazing Chief Minister. Today many states in India need such visionary, vibrant and ideal leaders for their development. Modi symbolizes dreams and virtues. He got energy to define and realize them. I admire him. Had my supper in SSK Hotel by 8:30. Spent talking with my brother-in-law Vamsy and my honey Srijana from 8:30 to 9:30. Vamsy wants to come to Hyderabad. Srijana likes bike rides. She advised me to learn riding bikes. Also informed me to buy a television. She likes watching cricket. I told her that I hate it. She is still suffering from cold and cough. She said that it is common for her in winter. Went to sleep by 12:00.

13 December (Thursday)

Woke up by 6:00. Freshened up myself by 8:30. Had my breakfast in Hotel Sai Krishna by 10:00. Took two buses and reached the abode of Veeru at Journalist Colony ‘A’ by 12:10. Called up HR executive Madhavi of Bodhtree Consulting by 12:20. She said that I am not selected for the position of content writer with them. Recently my cousin Kiran told me that some companies expect the candidates to enquire them about the status of their selection process. I did it with this company. I talked to them to know about my status of selection with them. They conducted two rounds of interview. I played the role of a professional beggar there. I consider the two fellows that interviewed me there for this position as worthless blokes. They could not assess me properly because they are not writers. I hate this company because they treated me like a beggar. God punishes such criminals. One has to shun one’s self-respect to be selected and work in such companies. Bodhtree is a bad company with good name. Today I could not show the photos of Mymielle Urbano to Veeru. She is the girl from the Philippines. Watched 70% of the Telugu feature film “Chettu Kindha Pleader” on computer to spend my time. Left the abode of Veeru by 6:30. Reached Old Bowenpally by 8:00. Spent browsing Internet in an Internet café for 15 minutes. Had my supper in SSK Hotel by 8:30. Spent talking with Srijana, my two brothers and my sister-in-law Sandhya Rani from 8:45 to 9:30. Srijana partly recovered from cold. She had lemon juice to honor my advice. It improves her immunity. She is following my words of advice to hint that she loves me. My cousin Kiran also talked with her today. Having many good friends and relatives provides us with a sense of belongingness, happiness and security. She is a devotee of Lord Krishna. He guides her always. At night it was very cold outside. Went to sleep by 10:30 for my dreams.

14 December (Friday)

Woke up by 5:00. Kiran left for his office by 9:00 along with his bag of luggage. This evening he starts to Araku Valley along with his friends by Godavari Express from Hyderabad railway station. Scanned a daily for half an hour. Went to the nearby Internet café by 10:30. Spent there browsing Internet till 1:30. Chatted online with Mymielle Urbano about Veeru. She gave me the details of her profile on My Space. I entered it using her email id and password. I saw her photos there. She looked slim and innocent. They are not quality photos. Downloaded eight of her photos and sent them to Veeru by email. Mymielle is poor. She is 26. This is the right time for her to enjoy her life in the company of her lover or husband. She is looking after her dependent mother. Veeru may not like her facial features. Then, uniting two persons of different cultures living in two nations is not easy. It would be more difficult when the two persons and their mediator are poor. I pity these two creatures of lovesickness and solitude. Today I sent an email to a publishing firm asking them to consider the probability of publication of my short stories posted on my blog site. I am badly in need of money now. Had my lunch in Sri Sai Krishna Hotel by 2:00. Spent reading today’s Telugu daily Eenadu and listening to Telugu cine songs on my Walkman from 2:30 to 5:00. Spent browsing Internet from 5:10 to 6:10. Bought half a litre of packaged milk for 10 rupees. Boiled and had it by 6:45. Listened to radio for some time. Today my goddess Srijana did not talk with me. Waited for her phone call from 8:30 to 10:00. Her sweet words are tonic to my lovesick psyche. I am slowly recovering from the effects of solitude and self-pity talking with her. I missed her missed call today. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

15 December (Saturday)

Woke up by 5:00. Scanned today’s dailies for half an hour. My friend Vatsavayi Narasimha Varma and I started to Madhapur by 9:30 on the bike of my cousin Kiran. We reached there by 10:30. We went there to search for a room to rent in for him. Now he is working with Keane, a software company. He is son of Satthi Babu, the bosom friend of my teacher uncle Venkata Rama Raju. We could find a room within minutes at a monthly rent of 4000 rupees. Actually it must be 2000 rupees. Selfish house owners in this locality increased house rents drastically to benefit from the concentration of multinational companies at Madhapur. It is public exploitation. He paid them  4000 rupees to reserve it for him. We had lunch in Kakatiya Mess at Vidya Nagar by 1:00. We spent at KSS Hostel for one hour. We spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café for one hour. We reached Manjeera Boys Hostel at Kachiguda by 3:30. Srijana talked with me for two minutes, when I was at cinema Odeon, going to the house of her maternal grandparents. We saw the Telugu film “Godava” in this cinema from 6:00 to 8:45. We returned to Kiran’s rented abode at Old Bowenpally by 10:00. We had supper in Sri Sai Krishna Hotel. Went to sleep by 12:00 for my dreams.

16 December (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Scanned dailies for one hour. Narasimha Varma, two friends and I started to Golconda Fort on two bikes by 11:00. We reached there by 12:00. We had lunch in a hotel there. It was of poor quality. We enjoyed walking up and down in Golconda Fort from 12:30 to 3:00. Undisciplined visitors are defacing this historical place writing their names on walls and throwing empty plastic bottles into water bodies in it. We returned to Old Bowenpally by 4:00. Browsed Internet for two hours. Today I talked with Srijana for 50 minutes. Went to sleep by 10:30.

17 December (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Spent most of the day in the room. Bought a copy of English monthly Chandamama. Read some stories in it. Evening somebody called me up and asked me if I am a technical writer. They want one for their company. Spent browsing Internet at a nearby Internet café from 5:30 to 8:30. Applied for a few jobs by email. Had a plate of chapatis for 15 rupees in Sri Sai Krishna Hotel by 8:45. Talked with Srijana over my cellphone from 9:00 to 10:00. My sister-in-law Sandhya Rani too talked with her after me from Visakhapatnam. I coordinated their first interaction. Srijana’s father also talked with me. He was making jokes with her when she was talking with me. I like such warm and liberal bond between a father and his daughter. Recently I read stories in dailies stating that Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi is getting ready to enter politics in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Earlier I advised him not to enter that dirty field on my blog site. However, many are interested to see him as a chief minister of this state. He got a clean image in the hearts of people in this state. He can lead this state towards a bright future. I don’t understand how he deals with Jaya Prakash Narayan, the chief of Lok Satta. He is an intellectual, visionary and idealist. This state is badly in need of his leadership now. The Congress and TDP parties have been exploiting this state for the last 50 years. The leaders became millionaires or billionaires but the common remained as paupers or sufferers over the years. The entry of idealists and visionaries into politics can change this state of affairs in this nation. I like to be a silent and active observer in this scenario now. Watching a dirty game is better than jumping into it when it involves vice and annoyance. I want peace of mind now. Went to sleep by 11:00.

18 December (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Scanned today’s dailies for half an hour. Took two buses and reached Shivam Road by 11:00. Spent browsing Internet for four and a half hours at Global View Internet café. Spent most of the time chatting online with Parisa in Iran. Today I discussed basic sex instincts with her. Males and females crave for intimacy with the creatures of their opposite gender from age 15. Parents and society impose moral codes of conduct on them. It makes them more attracted towards their familiar ones. Modern age allowed more females into the mainstream. So, many are liberally enjoying their sex lives with multiple partners before and after marriage. Many engaged in politics, films and businesses are spreading this culture of depravity and hypocrisy. If some are strictly following ethics through self-imposed rules and regulations, it is merely to respect their family or religion but not the spirit and culture of state they are living in. For example, the Government of India is keeping many condoms and instant pregnancy killing pills widely and easily available for all, aiming at containing AIDS and family planning. Many are using these services for starting and continuing immoral relations and acts with others. It led to drop of morals in society due to lack of loyalty and mutual trust between lovers and life partners. Marriages are failing fast. Parisa and I believe in and practice similar values in life. We enjoyed this online chat. Avoided having my lunch. Went to an office at Himayat Nagar to attend an interview for the position of freelance content writer. They kept me waiting for 40 minutes. Came out without telling them anything. Met my senior Dakshayani (in M.A. English) on the way. Reached our apartment by 8:30 after having my supper in SSK Hotel. Today Srijana could not talk with me over phone. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

19 December (Wednesday)

Woke up by 5:00. Took a bus opposite our apartment block by 6:30. Took another bus from Rethifile Bus Stand in Secunderabad and reached Shivam Road by 8:00. Thence walked a kilometer and reached the abode of Rajani by 8:20. Scanned Eenadu for 15 minutes. Meanwhile he came finishing his morning physical exercises. He spent talking with his clients for two hours. Then we went to Star Photo Studio at Vidya Nagar. He did not like his photos shot and printed there. I went there to send his photos to a bride party in our village Peda Gummuluru. My friend Viswanadha Sharma found a suitable bride for Rajani. We had lunch in Kakatiya Mess by 12:45. Spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café for three hours. Got a letter of appointment from Howard Film Industries in London stating that I am selected for the position of copy editor with them. I know that it is an online scam. Emailed my details to the London based travel agency suggested by them. My salary per month is £5000 apart from other attractive allowances and benefits. They prepared this letter attractively. I will play this game with them for some time. By 5:00 Rajani lent me 500 rupees. Reached the bus stop opposite Secunderabad railway station by 6:30. Avoided boarding five buses fearing the rush in them. The route bus is 26 to Old Bowenpally from this place. Reached our abode by 8:15. Bought snacks worth 16 rupees for my supper. Spent talking with my goddess Srijana for one hour from 8:30. Cold and cough attacked her again. Shared some health tips with her. She said that she does not follow them. I told her that I would deal with her well after marriage. She said I cannot. She argues with me strongly and satirically. Went to sleep by 11:30.

20 December (Thursday)

Woke up by 5:00. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Went to Gopal Internet café by 10:00. Spent there browsing Internet for three hours. Typed out a two-page letter and emailed it to a representative of Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust at Jubilee Hills. This letter is meant to be reached to Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi. I put some questions to be answered by him or his well-wishers in view of his entry into politics soon. This letter helps him realize his status in politics. Today it is Mukkoti Ekadasi. It is a favourite day to my Lord Krishna. I think I did a good job today. Politics and politicians are very bad in Andhra Pradesh now. Good persons like Chiranjeevi and Lok Satta founder and head Jaya Prakash Narayan can lead this state in the path of development if they win ensuing legislature election. Chiranjeevi needs suggestions from his fans like me. This letter is a token of my love for him. Emailed my CV to an executive for consideration for a job. Tried four times to talk with Executive Editor G R K Murthy of ICFAI University Press. It was to ask him if he got any job vacancies suitable for me there. I am badly looking for a job. I have a debt burden of 21,000 rupees now. My cousin Kiran and my friend Rajani lent me this money. It is the result of my being jobless for 100 days and nights. Spent talking with Parisa’s sister Srijana from 9:00 to 9:45. Parisa likes Srijana a lot. Srijana is interested to talk with my nephews Sujan and Suhas. Advised her on how to handle it. She told me that she can do it well. Her father and paternal grandfather also talked with me. Srijana started preparing for her half-yearly exams, which start from 5 January, 2008. Asked her to prepare a timetable for me to talk with her hereafter in view of her being busy with her exams. She agreed to it. Went to sleep by 11:00 for my dreams.

21 December (Friday)

Woke up by 5:00. Spent browsing Internet on the laptop of Kiran for half an hour. Took two buses and reached the abode of Veeru by 10:30. Spent most of my time there browsing Internet on the computer of Veeru. I was obsessed with the beauty of Japanese model Yukorin. She models for ladies undergarments. She is one of the great beauties on earth. She is a cute rose. Downloaded 75 of her 130 photos from her profile on Friendster portal. I also created my account there. Added some of her photos to my blogs on my blog site. By 12:00 got a phone call from a job consultant informing me to attend an interview for the position of content writer at Helix Technology Solutions Private Limited in Jubilee Hills by 12:00 this Monday. Got an email from Rupa & Co (publishing firm) in New Delhi informing me to email my biodata, proposal and samples of my writing for their consideration. Felt happy. Today I talked with Dharma Tej, a friend of Veeru. He has sharp features. He is doing a course in film direction at L V Prasad Institute in Chennai. I think he would leave a mark of his own in the Indian film industry. He appears like a north Indian or a European. Rajani listened to a story narrated by a Telugu film co-director today. He invited me to hear part of it. I found the words of this man interesting. Left the abode of Veeru by 7:30. Waited for a light city bus to Secunderabad for one hour standing at Jubilee Hills Check Post. Took another bus by 9:00 to Old Bowenpally. Bought snacks for 14 rupees for my supper. Had a glass of hot milk brought by Kiran. Today Srijana could not talk with me. Her father took their cellphone to Gollalagunta. My face turned weak because of watching computer for hours. Went to sleep by 12:00.

22 December (Saturday)

Woke up by 5:00. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Kiran and I left for RTC Crossroads on his bike by 10:30. We saw the Telugu film “Anasooya” in cinema Odeon Deluxe from 11:15 to 1:45. It is one of the great Telugu films I have seen so far. Ravi Babu directed it very well. He played the lead role in this film. He falls in love with his student when he was a professor at a medical college. She does not love him. He injures her. She dies. Doctors use parts of her dead body for other patients as part of her pledge to them for organ donation. Her deep lover cannot bear it. He steals the dead body of his sweetheart from the hospital. He finds that seven organs were removed from it. He strategically kills six persons and collects the organs of his sweetheart to put them back in her preserved dead body in his secret abode. Anasooya is an investigative journalist with a television channel. She investigates this case of serial killer. Professor Amar, alias Gulabi Puvvu Govind, dies in the hands of Anasooya, in the climax, when trying to kill a girl and pick out her eye. I pitied Amar throughout. Ravi Babu acted well in it. Night talked with Srijana for 10 minutes. This night she talks with my nephews Sujan and Suhas. Went to sleep by 11:00.

Spent 120 rupees on it. Srijana talked with me by 6:30. Narendra Modi won the Assembly Election in Gujarat. Felt very happy about it. Had supper by 9:00.

He showed me the places where consultants sit and work. He said that many of those girls are very beautiful. It is the floor of Ernst & Young. We left this place by 8:35. He works in the office of their client today at Khairatabad. We had breakfast in a hotel there. Thence I walked up and reached the office of ICFAI University Press at Punjagutta by 10:00. It was kept closed due to Christmas holidays. Three security guards were there. I know one of them. He has been working there for long. He told me many things about the staff working there. He said that office boy John might have the cellphone number of Swagata Gupta. I don’t know if he gives me her number or not. Reached the office of Helix Technology Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a start-up company, by Road No. 2 at Banjara Hills by 12:00. One interviewed me for 20 minutes for the position of content writer with them. Wrote a short paragraph describing Hyderabad. He said that they would get back to me soon. Reached the abode of Veeru by 1:00. Typed out a blog titled “The Miracle in Indian Politics” on his computer and posted it on my blog site by 4:30. It is a token of my appreciation for Narendra Modi on his being elected as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the third time with bumper majority. He developed this state a lot. He is one of the great figures of India. Took two city buses and reached our abode by 7:30. Had three samosaas for my supper. Srijana could not talk with me today. She must be preparing for her exams. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Went to sleep by 11:30.

25 December (Tuesday)

Woke up by 6:00. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Emailed an application for the position of content writer with an upcoming publishing firm in Hyderabad. Informed them not to reply to me if they cannot pay me 32,000 rupees per month. This clarification saves my valuable time. Two of our roommates and I decided to see a film today. We hired an auto rickshaw and reached Secunderabad by 1:30. Waited for a bus bound to Dilksukh Nagar for 20 minutes. None turned up. We hired an auto rickshaw and reached Dilsukh Nagar by 2:20. Tickets were being sold at high prices in the black at cinemas Konark and Megha. We hired an auto rickshaw and rushed to cinema Vishnu at Vanasthalipuram. We bought three tickets for 150 rupees in the black. Their actual value is 105 rupees. We had Vegetable Noodles in a nearby hotel by 2:55. By the time we entered this cinema, titles were over. I regretted it. We saw the Telugu film “Manthra”. The story is weak. The background score, photography, the two songs and screenplay are good. A story of intense suspense ends with a trivial climax. I went to see it for horror. Nothing could scare me in it. I was disappointed. We took two city buses and returned to our abode by 7:30. My brother Sambha called me up and asked me to lend him 20,000 rupees. Called up Rajani and sought his help. Talked with Srijana from 8:20 to 8:45. Asked her to wear my two night dresses on her next birthday. She told me to keep them with me. She wants to buy cloth in Tuni and get it stitched soon. She frequently asks me, “What more?” (Inkenti in Telugu). I cannot understand whether she is hinting me to stop talking more or she has nothing to tell me. For her, love means nothing but to me, it is everything. I try to express it to her. She is concealing it for the time being. I love her voice and words. She is my gopika. Went to sleep by 10:30 for my dreams.

26 December (Wednesday)

Woke up by 5:30. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Took two buses and reached Matrusri School at Nallakunta by 10:30. For about 15 years, they have been preparing school students to sit for the IIT entrance examinations. Students take JEE after completing their Intermediate course. In this school, students would be provided with intense coaching from eighth standard onwards for the JEE to enter IITs. In India, IITs are premier institutes as far as technical education is concerned. Those that complete courses there, immediately get great jobs. Many Indians dream to see their children studying there. They weigh a lot in the marriage market also. This gave birth to concepts like ‘IIT Foundation’. Enquired them about course fees. An executive told me that it costs one lakh rupees for a student for pursuing 8^th, 9^th and 10^th standards including tuition fees for IIT Foundation. Thence went to Sai Guardian Hostel behind Shankar Mutt temple. He told me that it costs one lakh rupees for a student for food and accommodation for three years in their hostel.

Selected four photos from them and put them in an envelope. Walked down to the post office in the premises of Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital and booked it for Registered Post. These photos will be received by my brother Sambha and given to my friend Viswanadha Sharma in Peda Gummuluru. He found two suitable brides for Rajani. They want to see his photos first. Had one Vanilla and one Strawberry ice cream for 30 rupees at Tasty Bite Restaurant. Gave meal vouchers of Ticket Restaurant for it. Typed out a blog titled “Angelica Meets Shyguy” at Global View Internet café from 12:00 to 4:00. It is fictional interview. It is my gift to my blog readers on the occasion of the advent of New Year 2008. Took two city buses and returned to our abode by 5:30. Rested for one hour. Had my supper in SSK Hotel by 7:00. Vamsy told me this afternoon that his sister Srijana got angry with her father. He did not pay her college fees in time. This morning she threw her lunch box away before going to take her college bus. She did not like to talk with me during their lunchtime at college when Vamsy informed her to talk with me. She or her father did not talk with me even at night. I was disturbed about it. It seems they don’t like my interference in it. My Lord Krishna knows how to resolve the issues of His devotees. Today I became weak because of avoiding lunch. My mood was down today. Went to sleep by 10:30 for my dreams.

28 December (Friday)

Woke up by 6:00. Scanned today’s dailies for one hour. Kiran and I started to Khairatabad on his bike by 9:30. He gave me meal vouchers of Ticket Restaurant of the year 2007 worth 600 rupees.

He dropped me there by 10:30 and proceeded to the office of their client. Walked upwards and had a plate of Vegetable Biryani in a hotel at Dwarakapuri Colony by 11:15. Reached the office of Sathguru Management Consultants at Hindi Nagar by 11:30. They called me for interview for the position of Assistant Manager in Corporate Communications. Praveen gave me a computer and told me to do a written test on it. Typed out a newsletter and a press release without searching for information on the Internet. There was no Internet access to this computer system. I depended on my creativity for the newsletter. Praveen told me that he would keep in touch with me. Spent talking with G R K Murthy, the managing editor of ICFAI University Press from 2:30 to 3:00 in his room. He is a gentleman. Bought chocolates and butter candies worth about 700 rupees in a Food World outlet at Banjara Hills by 3:30. These packs will be sent to Srijana soon. Took two city buses and reached our abode by 5:30. Had a plate of rice for 18 rupees in Sri Sai Krishna Hotel by 7:30. Srijana did not talk with me even today. Her brother Vamsy told me that still she is angry at her father. She does not like talking with me when she is deeply disturbed about something else. It is a good strategy to be followed by lovers and admirers. Earlier told Srijana that she is my goddess. She knows that I can understand her state of mind now. Time resolves many problems. Went to sleep by 11:30.

29 December (Saturday)

Woke up by 6:00. My roommate and I reached Vidya Nagar by 9:30 taking two city buses. This morning only I wrote 28 lines of poetry in Telugu. The setting is a forest. The three characters involved in it are my Lord Krishna, Srijana and I. Got this poetry typed out on a computer and got its printout laminated. He charged 60 rupees for it. Thence we moved to Dilsukh Nagar in an auto rickshaw. He bought two tickets for 100 rupees. Then we went to a photo frame maker near the temple of Shirdi Sai Baba. Told him to get my poetry memento framed. We saw the Telugu film “Don” of Nagarjuna in cinema Megha from 3:00 to 5:40. It was good. Collected my framed memento paying him 70 rupees. This memento is for my goddess Srijana. I will send it soon to her along with those packs of chocolates. It’s my gift to her on the occasion of her next birthday. My roommate left for Old Bowenpally by a bus from Shivam Road by 7:00. My friend Rajani asked me to sleep in his rented abode for this night. He is going to his village Jeelugumilli this night by a bus. He gave me 200 rupees. Had my supper in Devi Mess at Shivam Circle by 8:00. Reached the abode of Rajani in DD Colony by 8:15. Today Srijana did not talk with me. It seems she is still angry at her father. Went to sleep by 11:00.

30 December (Sunday)

Woke up by 6:00. Scanned Eenadu for one hour. Spent talking with my friends at KSS Hostel for one hour. Spent browsing Internet at Global View Internet café from 10:10 to 6:10. Uploaded my 64 short stories into the online self-publishing website Lulu. The title of my book on it is 64 Sharp Stories. I get money if visitors of this site buy my book in electronic or print format. Had three ice creams of different flavors at Tasty Bite by 7:00 giving the meal vouchers of Ticket Restaurant. Had a plate of Vegetable Noodles at a handcart for 13 rupees. Went to sleep by 10:00.

31 December (Monday)

Woke up by 6:00. Took leave of Rajani by 7:00. Took two buses and returned to our abode by 9:00. Kiran told me to get a ceiling fan fitted in our room today. He gave me 1500 rupees for it. Bought a white ceiling fan for 850 rupees at a nearby shop by 11:00. A mechanic charged 60 rupees to fit it to the ceiling in our room. Then took my gifts meant for Srijana to a shopkeeper down this apartment block. He draped around the memento with light color paper. I got a table watch as a gift at a wedding reception some weeks ago. Put it and the packs of chocolates in an empty cardboard box collected from a nearby medical store. Got all these items packed well. This birthday gift has to be sent to Srijana soon. Took a head bath by 2:00. Had my supper in Sri Sai Krishna Hotel by 2:30. Rested in our abode till 5:00. My cousin Murali came by 5:30. Decided to go to the University of Hyderabad along with him to spend in that campus along with my friend Samanta Sahu. Traffic jam stopped our bus on road for two hours. Went to the rented abode of Murali at Self Finance Colony in Vanasthalipuram by 9:30. We had delicious homemade food by 10:00. I spent the first quarter of this year searching for a job. Did a job with OMS3 Consulting India Private Limited for five months. The last quarter of this year had been blissful after the advent of Srijana into my desolate life. Her innocent words and good thoughts invigorated me. She is a great gift presented to me by my Lord Krishna this year. My friend Rajani lent me 6000 rupees. My cousin Kiran lent me 16000 rupees. I would not have lived happily without their generous support. I could present a bike to my brother Sambha. I learnt good lessons this year. My solemn farewell to 2007. Went to sleep by 10:45.
