India Trip - 2 weeks , more journey's & Functions

Its Been Bit Long time on blog .... being busy and bit moody with office work

Hmmm.... 4 months back we planned India trip and booked tickest...
waited for 4 long months and the trip was over just in 2 weeks :( (ofcourse the plan was only for 2 weeks though)
Most Exiting incidents took place in this trip

  • Our House Warming Ceremony - Its a long story started 6 months back and confirmed just 2 weeks before our journey to India :) My Mom and Dad - Hats off for their stamina, foreseeing things, planningand arrangements... without them we could not have done our function so nice...
  • Naming ceremony of my cute Niece(My brothers Daughter) - Bechara.... She was not officially called by her name only because of me..I was late even on the day of function :D
  • Surprising Gifts From my people for us :)

Our House warming Ceremony has many problems till End (cinema kashtalu). It started 6 months back.We had a deal with builder to take the house and also gave initial payment, the very next day our gr8 star KCR started his act for Seperate Telanga.We were worried from roumers that prices would fall don rapidly and we will loose our amount. We had a talk with builder and asked him to give back our initial amount. He too agreed very politely charging us 25K for his costs. We aceepted...From that day... he will say our money with him is same as our money which is in bank(but he will not give interest) , but he will no give back the money saying he doesnt have to give.. every 4 weeks , 3 weeks 2 weeks vodina calls him for date on which he is ready to repay us.He say next month.... 6 months passed like that- finally we negotiated with builder , reduced price by some amount and now we owe the house :)We confirmed this only 2 weeks before we Leave to India from Singapoor.All dealings with builder were taken care by vodina and annayyagaru.All arrangemenst for House Warming ceremony were done by mom and dad.
Finally We vasukiChaitanya, owe a House :)

My cute and beautifull niece(uday annaya daughter)... born on 14 March 2010.. Named As Kamarajugadda Akshaya on 2 June 2010 :)
The Reason behind this 3 months delay for naming ceremony is One and only ME :)
menatha lekunda peru ela pettukuntundi naa menakodalu :)
chelli lekunda koothiriki barasala ela chesthaaru maa annayya-vodina :)
so reasons are obvious :)
The One and only replacement for Me in My Home - My Niece :)

Though the days are passed vary fast with functions. I got a chance to meet all my family members coz of these functions.We all enjoyed a lot during our stay in India... 

Along with these 2 functions we also atended Ravi Mama Office Building Opening ceremony , cousins Thread ceremony and Manava Chennakesava Swamy Temple Pratishta Programme.. :) The Initiative to Re-build the temple of chennakesava Swamy in our Village mannava was taken by my grand father - Dr.Mannava Radha Krishna Murthy garu. He with my father and few other active people collected funds from people and succeded in this gr8 event.Pratishta program was for 4 days continuosly.Its My pleasure I could attend the program atleast for one day :)
So...This trip was most memorable than ever... We returned with more joy but sad for leaving our people again for 6 more months...Wishing to complete another 6 months soon here..

SONYBRAVIA 40EX600 and Our journey

One of the unexpected things in our India trip was Buying a Sony BraviaEX600 40 inch LCD (Edge LEd) TV for my vodina :) we got confrmation from them one week before our journey to India... we have only one weekend in our hand for shopping- we need to buy choclates, photo badges, and TV.
For Each , we need to go in different directions. :)
First we went for COURTS - the Biggest shopping mall where prices are bit reasonable compared to other malls in singapore.. COURTS alwaz have some promotion sales - Year End Sale, Mid Year Sale, Quarter Year Sale :) apart from these Festive Season Sales... and So..On.. 


For that reason , We couldnt get the model they have asked for - less stock more deals :D


After Many discussions on call we finally decided for Sony EX600 (fortunately this is the one they have in mind prior to other models)But but but..... Courts doesn't have stock and we need to go the Main branch of Courts Mall and even there also only one piece is left.
Gt to think fast and decide soon...
Finally went to main Mall after waiting for atleast 30 -45 min in Que for shuttle Bus to go to that mall .... We finished 2 water bottles water staning in Que - its tooo hot that day :(


We got the name of sales person over there whom we need to meet to have this deal done and take our TV Home - his name is MOUSE :) I coudn't resist laughing when Chaitanya spoke to him over phone saying - Is this  Mouse :) he ha...No ofence please. Evry body likes thier name.. infact I love my name. but still Its funny having such name :) and to our surprise the name suits the person very well.. he is thin, short and small - thought MOUSE is apt for him :)
we had our deal negotiations with MOUSE and finally purchased SONY BRAVIA EX600 LCD TV which is 40 inch wide :)


Specifications -
40 inch
full HD
Edge LED
Wifi
USB
Internet Vedio
slim
and just 14.8 KG
picture clarity is tooo good and no need to tell about sound system which sony provides

totally its awsome :)


We carefully repacked it after checking at showroom and bought it to home..


Till now its one task and taking that to India .. baaaabre how... We Dont have International Warrenty .. Warrenty valid only in singapoor.. so any transit damage.. we need to bring that back to singapore again.. On the day of transit we manged the weight problem as chaitanya friend is also comming to India and he doesn't have any check in :) we checked In all our bagages.. :)
Landed in India - Chennai :)
It took one Hour to collect all our baggages again in Chennai Airport....
I was watching all the people for anyone having 40" TV and are they caught by customs people.. Unfortunately though ppl do have 40" TV's we are the first on whomw customs have their eye
and the tax is --- 12k (acc them the amount is less as we have bill , if we dont have bill we need to pay 30K).Poor chaitanya struggled hard for some time to reduse the amount but customs are very sincere this time.. no bypassing amount, pay amount take bill/reciet
Chaitanya finally impressed that our people are going as per norms - paid 12k and came out...


Next target- tying the TV on Car Carriage so that it reaches safe till our place...
thnx to KRISHNA - he managed to do it perfectly and very tightly :)
My Mom got two bedsheets and pillows for resting he TV on them - soft bed :)

Finally we were able to take Tv safely to Hyderabad :)
We tested it in our home , Picture clarity, Sound  and even wifi - No words - Its awesome - Thank God :)

Going Home.......OR.......Leaving Home

I always hear people say wow.. Great.. Fantastic When they here about people staying in abroad.. I donno how to react.. I dont feel great living in Abroad, leaving all my people. I never fellt it was fantastic staying far and miles away from my home country...


Have a family gathering evry now and then just to njoy and refresh ourselves.. simple yet long chit chat with friends.. weekend parties with team mates... daily gossips with room mates... Moms sweet scoldings for not doing house hold things... dads grrrhhh for not taking utmost care for myself... stupid and mischevous enjoyment with brother... enjoying outings with cousins...   

I miss all this fun staying miles away from my people.. Everyday In Singapore I will be waiting for those 2 weeks stay in India with my people.. 2 weeks simply go off as 2 days.. and this time those days just flew off .. We realized we completed our 2 weeks only on last but one day when people reminded me about packing my luggage for return journey... We packed everything .. cloths.. things to take Singapore.. but still our minds are not set to leave our people and our place.. 


Though I started my new life as a wife in Singapore When Its time to return after vacation from India  I worry I am going home or leaving home.. :(  I Miss My Family ... I Miss My Country ...
