Here is the Lyrics

ಆ ದಿನಗಳು ಪ್ರತಿ ಕ್ಷಣ ಹೃದಯದೊಳಗೆ
ಹಸಿರಾಗಿದೆ ಅದೆ ಇದೆ ನನ್ನ ಬಿಡದೆ 

ಗಾಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರೇಮ ಗೀತೆ ಬರೆದ ಸಂದೇಶವು
ಬಳಸಿಬಂದು ಹೇಳಲಿಲ್ಲವೆ ನನ್ನ ಈ ಸ್ನೇಹವು
ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಈ ಹಾದಿಯಾ ಹೇಕೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋದೆ

ಆ ದಿನಗಳು ಪ್ರತಿ ಕ್ಷಣ ಹೃದಯದೊಳಗೆ
ಹಸಿರಾಗಿದೆ ಅದೆ ಇದೆ ನನ್ನ ಬಿಡದೆ

ದಿನ ದಿನ ಮುಖವನು ನೋಡಿ ಹೊಗಳುವ ಮಾತೆಲ್ಲಿ
ಮುನಿಯುತ ಜಗಳವ ಆಡಿ ನಗಿಸಿದ ನಗುವೆಲ್ಲಿ

ನನ್ನ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ ಎಲ್ಲೊ ನಿನ್ನ ಹುಡುಕಿ ಹೊಯ್ತು
ಆ ಶಿಲ್ಪದಲಿ ಕಂಡು ಮನಸು ಶಾಂತವಾಯ್ತು
ನೀನೆಲ್ಲೊ ನಾನೆಲ್ಲೊ ಇನ್ನು ತಾಳೆ ವಿರಹ ನೋವಾ

ಆ ದಿನಗಳು ಪ್ರತಿ ಕ್ಷಣ ಹೃದಯದೊಳಗೆ
ಹಸಿರಾಗಿದೆ ಅದೆ ಇದೆ ನನ್ನ ಬಿಡದೆ

In my last post I told about my friend Vinodh   Here is my another friend Nagendra ( Nagi)

He is a very pleasant person who is always ready to take responsibilities on his shoulder, He is very strong in decision making and once he decides on  anything he will never change that unless and until situation force him to do so.

I still remember he had decided  not to smoke and booze. He maintained that as well, let me come to point 

Nagi is very down to earth who is very easy  to understand and  move with, there were many situation for me in infy where I was struggling to come up, he helped me in  all the way. He used to share all his up’s and down’s with me which he never used to tell to any one. He trust me so much and respect me.

After shifting to Dubai he used to call me and check did u deliver baby or not !! when he visited india he came to my house spoke with all of my family members spent time and then we went to meet our infy friends.

I had a craze to attend interview in various company and take offer from that company, however I never joined any company stayed back in Infy for 3 yrs When he visited india he wanted to take advantage of my weakness , so he called me telling I am calling from IBM, we got your resume and is it possible to attend interview in ITPL by 4.30 pm tomorrow, Me  as usual  said ok and was giving my intro to him thinking he is HR from that company (lol) later he couldn’t control he bursted with laugh and fooled me .

he is very smart and also very handsome .  He is very hard working guy and has so many plans in life, at present he is in plan to marry his loved one.  He came back to india permanently and got offer from IBM, his girl friend is working in Aditi Technologies.  I wish both of them hearty congratulations and all the best

Ur one hope in my life is enough,
So that i can live for rest of my life

Ue one name is enough for my life,
so that I can breath for rest of my life,

Ur one touch is enough for me,
so that my life had no fear to go to death bed,

Oh!heart Whatever I am doing is for ur love and peace
Is it possible to forgive me and come back to me… ??
Ur love in my heart is as pure as River water,
time just used me like Doll and made me to sacrifice you,

U gave a new life and new topic in my life,
Now if you ask me to forget, my heart is just beating very slow

I just cant live without you…
If ur not there in my life
I can say this life will no more exist…

Pls come back !!!!

When I was working with Infosys in 2006… I was put into new client profile whr i have to work in night shift. There were few employees who had come  from our previous process whr we all were working. In that gang one of my close friend Vinodh also was there. He is very jovial guy who never get angry on any one so easily.. y coz he will not take things personally. however he is very emotional guy and sensitive, he cant realize which is good and which is bad hHe beleives everyone and get cheated by everyone.  He is very hard working guy he used to work day and night in my process.  Well let me come back to my topic,

For few days we were working in noon shift ie; 2pm to 11pm, suddenly my manager told my team that you all have to come in night shift from tomorrow. I was very sad coz i have to leave my 7 months old kid. In mean while Vinodh was in noon shift itself for next two weeks also.

one day he was getting bore at home so he wanted to call somebody and talk, all of his team members are in day shift so everyone will be sleeping at that time so couldnt call any one. Then he remembered me and decided to call me and eat my head for few mins.. to call me at that time he should have some reason know, otherwise I will scold him y did u call ??? so he  got one reason, his gold ring was broken and he  had already  discussed with me one day  that he want to give that broken ring and make new gold ring and I was asked to enquire with my mom. He called and started discussing abt that ring with me,… i knew his smartness from beginging so I directly asked him u wanted to make some time pass so you called me right at 2.30am ???? very poor fellow he admitted himself telling yes paddu i was getting bore at home so thought whom to call and talk then i thought anyway your in night shift so I will call u and bug you for few mins..

He is very trust worthy guy he respects everyone and adores other feeling,  we both are very close friends. He had come to my house to see my daughter  after delivery, and supporrts me while working  If  am  frustrated telling some jokes…. everyone likes him at my home.  He is very natural character guy. He is not only friend for me he is a close friend for my husband also.

Now he is married and settled in SIngapore. I wish him all the very best in life.
