Ramoji Film City


It was the 5th of july,2009. That day my mother, sister, her friend and myself went to Ramoji Film City. We booked a cab to go there. It took us around 45 minutes to reach there from my house. Then, we took the tickets and went inside at around 9:45 a.m. As we reached the starting point of the tour, we were told that the opening ceremony was about to begin in a couple of moments. So, we went to the place as quickly as possible and watched the dancers dance for traditional and pop songs. After that, we took a few snaps there. Then we went for a few rides. After that, we went for the sightseeing. The tour guide showed us various settings which are usually used in the films. After that, we went to Ramoji Movie Majic where they showed us how the sound mixing is done in all the films. Then, we had our lunch and roamed around the place for some time.......after that, we came back home and I had a deep and pleasant sleep all during the night

My first Golf tournament

I was playing my first golf tournament at Boulder Hills Golf and Country Club, Gachibowli, Hyderabad. The tournament which was conducted by South Zone Junior Golf association and there were junior golfers who came from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, as well as Hyderabad. The tournament was for 3 days, the first day being the practice round and the other two being the days for the actual tournament.
I played the practice round very well as a beginner. I missed a ''level par'' in the frst hole itself and missed quite a few pars in the practice round. I managed to score 22 shots over par.
The second day was the actual round and I was quite nervous on that day. I played the back nine first and it went on quite good but i couldn't play that well on the front nine as i played the back nine. I managed to play 34 shots over par.
The third and last day of the tournament was much better than the previous day and I completed the course 25 shots over par.
At the end, all the participants were given momentos and certificates. I returned back home and watched TV for some time and went to bed. zzzzzz

Exhibition with friends


It was really an exciting day !!!! Four of my friends and i planned to go to exhibition at the Nampally exhibition grounds on 10th February, 2009. Most time in the morning passed on by calling frineds and planing for the exhibition. We decided to meet at a place but two of my frineds made a delay in reaching there. Finally, they managed to reach there by 5 pm. We left from there and reached the exhibition by about 5:40 pm. We booked the tickets and started roaming in the exhibition. We first took shortcuts and came to the exit point within one hour. So we planned to take one more round without any shortcuts. Meanwhile, we began to feel some rats running in our stomachs. So we bought pop-corn and kept walking. We then went to the train counter where there was a big line for the tickets which was moving so slowly. So, we decided not to go for the train. There was an ice-cream stall beside us, so each of us took ice-cream and started to continue. Then, we decided to eat some snacks and each of us ordered some snacks like Pav Bhaji, Noodles and Dahi Papdi. Then we continued to move forward and went into a few stalls and made window-shopping where a few shopkeepers understood that we were not going to buy anything :) . Then we bought candies and shared them among ourselves. We then saw a fountain and took some photos. As it was getting late, we had to take a move from there. One of my frined reminded about Ice-Gola. So i told them that i knew a nice spot for Ice-Gola near Big bazaar. We walked till there which was about half a kilometre and then returned back home. After reaching home, the T20 match between India and Sri Lanks was going on. It was a tight match in which most of the Indians felt India would lose but the Pathnan brothers did some splendid batting and saved India from losing and finally India chases the target of 174 runs and cliched the winning trophy. Then as i was tired, i went to bed. zzzzz

Childrens' Day at School

This had been one of the most mesmerizing day in my three years of schooling at The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur. It was 14 th November, 2008 which is celebrated as childrens' day thoughout the world. My friends and I planned a lot for this day. We thought of having a disco type of feeling by arranging some rocking audio tracks along with flash-lights that we usually get to see in the discos. So my friends and I arranged the required necessities on that day and we were all set for a BIG BANG.


Firstly, we were to listen a few words from our class teacher, Deepika maam. She was asking us about our future plans about in which college we are wishing to get into etc. She told that "let us start the discussion with our prefect which was none other than ME." So we all expressed our plans for our future and maam also gave her valuable suggestions on it.


Then maam gave us some chocolates as it was after all our day ( childrens' day) and she left then. We arragned the dec and flash-lights ourselves and all of us were set to dance. We just switched on the equipments and they began to work. We put up the song "Jalwa" from "Fashion" and in no time, the power was off. Meanwhile, we decided to take a few snaps. After we had taken a few pics, we returned back to the class. Then we turned on the dec again and danced for "Singh is Kinng". Before the song was about to get over, we had to stop it again as we had to leave for the assembly for some cultural programs.
After the programs were over, we had to directly go to the dining hall where some delicious "chicken" was waiting to be put into our tummys. After we had our lunch, we left into the ground to play Cricket. We divided ourselves into two teams and began to play. Our team captain(Sachin) had trusted me and given me the bowling in the last over. I had managed to give away no runs in 5 balls. It was da last ball and the opposition needed 4 runs to clinch the win. It was me at one end and Rakesh at the other end batting. But unfortuantely, he hit a six to take away the game from us. Overall it was a great day if I hadn't lost my flash-light. When we left to play cricket in the ground, someone had stolen my flash-light which was in my bag.

My Memorable Trip to Riyadh - December 07


Riyadh, the capital of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a wonderful place to live to in. This year’s vacation to Riyadh was a very mesmerizing one. It was a 1 month trip which seemed to have ended very soon though it was a 1 month trip. I went to Riyadh on 20th December, 2007 and came back to Hyderabad on the 19th January, 2008. This was one of my most fascinating trips to Riyadh. I visited Riyadh during my winter vacation which was of 1 month. I left from Hyderabad on the 20th January, 2008 early morning and I landed there in Riyadh in the morning at around 10:30. I was traveling alone to Riyadh as an unaccompanied minor and I was taken good care of the air host and the hostess. I was handed over carefully to my father who came to receive me at the airport. Then we left to our house and I was getting many calls from my friends. I got a call from Abhishek asking me to come to the Golf Course. I did not have a passion or liking towards this game earlier. But then when I played the game, I was really excited and enjoyed it. I played quite good looking shots on the first day itself. I almost reached 100 Yards distance on the first day itself. We played for quite a long time in the Driving Range and then when it was evening, we went to the Chipping Area and practiced Chipping and Putting. I couldn’t do Chipping that nicely but Putting was quite ok with me and didn’t take much time to learn. Then we had some snacks in the Restaurant, sat for some time and then left to a Hypermarket after which we were to go to ‘Pizza Inn’ where all my friends were to meet. I was very excited because I was meeting them after a year. Finally the time came when we all met there. We had some good time passing jokes and talking about our funny experiences. After that we had our dinner and then played for some time. When we all were playing, I came to know that it was planned to go to a villa on the next day. I was very excited for that as I never visited that villa. All my friends gave a name to it which was called as ‘Chandramukhi Villa’. We all left to our homes and then the next day we were to go to the Villa.
This was really an extra-ordinary day. I was very excited to go to the Villa. We all met at a hypermarket. We played catches for some time as a few people didn’t arrive yet. Then all the boys sat in one car and girls in another. We had race during our drive to Kharj, the place where the villa is located. This place was almost one and a half hour away from the city. We started off by playing Cricket. In the mean while, the uncles interrupted us and asked us whether we would come to the ground with them. We went there and started playing. We played only one match with them and then left for lunch. Then we played with all the aunties. We let them bang sixes and fours. They gave a tough competition by scoring 158 runs. We could easily chase the target as we had many DONS in our team, but then wontedly we lost the match as we wanted the aunties to win the match as they rarely play with us. Then we went to have snacks. After all this was over, the time was about 5:30 p.m. This was when we started to play catches. We all took some splendid catching practice. We ended our game at 9:15 p.m. We couldn’t even imagine that we were playing catches since four long hours without even a break. Then we had our dinner and sat down for some time. We had nice entertainment even after having our dinner. The kids were jumping on each other, wrestling, boxing, fighting and what not [of course, not seriously]. Then as we were about to leave to our houses, two cars got stuck in the sand. Then all the uncles got into work to pull out the two cars which took about half an hour. Then after the cars were let out from the sand, we all left to our houses. This was one of the most exciting day in my life.
The next day was a resting day. This day all stayed in their own houses. The next day was much more memorable for me. This day all my friends were going to go to Muzambiyah which was about 70 kms away from the city. There we all rented a few buggies and rode them for an hour. I had taken the big one which was much faster than the other ones and also costlier. We all enjoyed the riding. We all went as a group from one end of the Sand Dunes to the other end. While driving the buggies, I had a narrow escape from the fire. There was a place which was a bit steep where there was fire, I was going a bit fast on the buggy where my bike went over the fire. I was lucky as my leg didn’t go down but still my buggy’s tire went on the fire. Then we continued to ride the buggies. After coming back to the starting point where our parents were there, after reaching there, little more time was left out, so were gave a few bikes to the parents are asked them to ride. After a while the buggies were given back, but I had 20 more minutes left to ride my buggy. Then I went onto the hill twice which was very exhilarating and pleasurable. After some time, I gave back the buggy and we went back home. Then we ended our riding at about 4:00 p.m. We had snacks and then left back to our homes. This was a memorable day in my life.
