Just woke up...

The same internet centre near IIT
October 6
6.12 pm

Hi to Rachel and everyone...
After sleeping for more than 10 hours, I woke* up now. I have decided to spend this day sleeping in my room. My friends had* gone to watch another Robotics event. So, I stayed all the day alone in my room. Sometimes, when I stay alone, my thought process gets accelerated. I become more* philosphical.
In this post, I'm going to discuss about myself a little bit....
I was born in a small village called Balabhadrapuram somewhere in Andhra Pradesh state. I did my entire schooling there. I'll write about my childhood experiences ( playing in the farms, bathing in rivers, how we stole examination papers before the exam, etc.). I sat for Engineering entrance exam after completing my intermediate and somehow got a seat in GITAM. This is my third year of engineering. One more year to go and I'll be an Engineer.
But still, Engineering is not my passion.
I love interacting with people...I love writing....I love reading... and one day, I wish I would be a writer*...
After completing my engineering, I want to do Post Graduation in Management. So, I'm preparing for CAT exam. Good grip over English language is essential to get good percentile.

Well...Rachel...answer to your question...
Normally, present tense is used to make a narration more dramatic or vivid. Am I correct???

Replies to a few comments:
@Paul Raj from India : Hi...I have not yet visited Chennai. I'm busy here in the workshop. I'm leaving on monday morning. I wish I could get some time to visit this place...
@Naheed from Pakistan:I watched your photo...Naheed. The other day, I had some problems using my browser. So, it could not load your picture... You look good....
@Chaitanya from India: Thanks Chaitanya....keep visiting this site....

I'm running short of time now...
That's it for today...
signing off...
Satya...
Life is creative...

* Tell me whether I'm correct in using those words in that context....
I thought of asking some specific questions but could not get time to do it...

Hi Satya, after read your blog I fall in thaught in my Collage days. I had complete my Engineering (CIVIL) long beck in REC Surat.

Hi,I am an aerospace eng student in IIT bombay,Mumbai.I saw ur blog.Well I am from Penugonda ,west godavari dt.I have just seen ur blog...I find ur endeavor worth appreciating..keep going...bye

Hello Satya, it would be great to read about village life and we will be looking forward to it. By the way, what language do you speak? I wish you good luck for your CAT exam! Along with English you must also be preparing for the subject of Accounting, musn't you? Naheed

Hello Satya! Hmm... so you would like to be a writer, how interesting. Well, I think this blog makes you a kind of writer Satya :-). Anyway, what would you like to write about? Could you kindly tell us? Now wait a minute. Satya, you have stolen a exam paper? I can believe it! Ooh, I really want to hear that :-). Have a nice Sunday, Ana Paula.

Satya i wish ur dream come true[writer].Iam navatha and iam a finalyear graduate.My friends advised me to join in spoken englishclases or some other clases to improve my fluency but now i can learn english from where iam, thanks alot to BBC.This is the place where people around the world interact with each other and also they can learn and correct our mistakes, answer to our questions too.

Hi Satya. I'm also recovering from the lack of sleeping hours I had last month writing my posts at night. Satya, I love your phylosophical side. I cannot figure out how I should pronunciate"Baladhadapuram":-D Your language is completely unknown by me. I also love interacting with people, writing and reading. Whatever we want to be, we must have a plan to reach it. I'm starting a post graduation course next week in Collective Health focusing in PSF (Family Health Care Program). I'll study the difference between Health Care Systems in other coutries, the evolution of the Brazilian National Health Care System, strategies and course of actions. It's also a preparation for a Master Course. The English knowledge is important for that too. I wish I could be a good teacher at the University. Although, my desire is also to do a course which prepares me for working with elderly people. I have many elderly patients, moreover the population is ageing here. I'd like to have an expertise in this area too but this plan "B" has to wait for awhile until I complete the both courses in Collective Health (plan "A"). I wish you succeed in your plan "A","B", "C"...beyond the alphabetical limit. :-) Bye Satya. A kiss to you from Brazil.

Hello Satya.It is the first time my comment has been here. My english is poor, but I want to improve it as quickly as possible.I am very interested in your post,especially about your robots.I study mechanic in Germany.In the moment,I will participate a project about robot with a team from tomorrow.So I want to know a little about your robots.It would be nice,when you have time,some words to describe it.Good,it's time to go to bed. Have a good day!see you!!

Hi Satya...I guess that you are a bit down today...Cheer up! Don't tell me that your sadness is because of the "small wire that got burned"! That is past...Wake up! Get out of your room and go for a walk around the city! I can feel some kind of nostalgia for the good old days in your post today, am I wrong?. Growing up is not easy...but life goes on Satya! "Balabhadrapuram" What a long name!! Go on telling us about your childhood experiences, they sound very interesting! Best regards

Hi Satya, I come from china,and I already noticed your blog long time.I am a new guy who want to improve English.Your English is very well.In your blog I learned lots of new words. however thank you very much.I will be continuous focus on your blog.By the way, I am very glad I can know you

Hello Satya, what happened that you wish to be a writer but begun studying Engineering? Of course it is a more easier way to get a workplace and good payments. What would you like to write? Short storys, novels, non-fiction or a biography? And I am wondering about the robbery of exam papers as much as on everything about your childhood. Have a nice day! Germany ´s foggy weather today....

Hello Everyone It the firts day at BBC, me english level is not so good but I thing could be enought to share with you some experience or advice to improve the english, I am also interesting about places that i would be visit, food that should be try and things like that.

frankly speaking i dream of good mastering of english ,but i have no more interest in learning it on books ,sometimes i find i am helpless facing the reality ,i completed my colleage this year and now i work for a trading company , the fact is that i have no good feelings everyday sometimes i console myself hoping for a good mood but it's useless

Have a nice day/night for everyone in the beautiful world. Firstly I must say that I don't know english very well but still try improve my level (therefore in advance sorry for mistakes).Satya, it is hard to understand how can you study in the university of technology and simultaneously you want to be a writer? Is it possible? Drop a line a bit more about your country, customs. Asia for me is very unknown continent! Regards

hello everybody, I'm marion, I'm learning english but it's very hard for me! please say me when I make mistakes... I wish to communicate with all you, but your comments are too long for me!! I wish you a good evening!! thank you if you answer me
