Flashback: (2 days before the trip started).

Every plan of both Veera Reddy and Narasimham becomes futile because of ACP Surendar. He closed almost all of their illegal businesses. They have a meeting together and they thought killing Surendar is the only solution. Rajeev and Arjun are working for Surendar. On the day they want to kill him, Ashwini goes to his house to provide him some evidence what they did. Ashwini’s father and Surendar are family friends. So, Surendar asks her whether she would like to marry Vijay, his son. She says “Yes” and asks him to give her Vijay’s photo. He goes down to get his photo, by this time, rowdies enter his house and kill him and his wife (Veera Reddy and Narasimham too). She shoots
this whole scene in her camera. In her way to get out of the house, the 2 rowdies of see her going out. They chase her while others go away from the crime scene and at the same time, Vijay who is studying in U.K. comes to India on vacation, he enters the house and finds both of his parents dead. Then he picks the weapon stabbed into his father’s chest with great force and throws it at one of them who will be instantly dead. Before killing the other guy, he asks him the name of the person they are working for. He says,” Veera Reddy” and he kills him the next moment he says the name.

He asks everyone about Veera Reddy and everyone tells him that only Narasimham will help him on that matter. He approaches him and made a deal with him. He has to bring the video tape with Aswini and also her and he shouldn’t tell anyone about him until this is done, then he not only tells where he is and also helps him to kill him.

Now, Vijay knows the truth and rescues Aswini and her family and takes revenge on both of them.

Story2 : To Someone Special

This story is a pleasant one and you will find similarities with an English movie. I will work hard on this so that you will enjoy every part of it.

Actually, it’s not a story, it’s my life. Everyone sets some goals in his/her life to be achieved. Only a few will be successful while most of them try to achieve their goals, but there is another category who won’t even try to achieve their goals and I fall into that category.

Why didn’t I try to achieve them? This is because I didn’t think of them as I play games more than 12 hours a day and spare the rest for attending classes, eating and sleeping. This is my routine since my 1st year 2nd semester. I tried to change it many times, but I am an addictive gamer. I started playing AOE in that semester and quickly moved to CS 1.6, the next semester and dotA, the last three semesters. When coming to single player games, I like RPGs. I played Oblivion 5 times, Diablo-2 8 times, Fable 4 times and Titans Quest once and many small games.

Where and When we play these games? As they are multi-player games, it is not only me, there are many other gamers who play with me. We play these games in labs and in free times i.e., between two classes, after dinner in the night etc.

Now, if I turn back and check out what my life is at IIIT, I can’t find anything else except games in my life and very minute part of it goes to studies as I don’t study unless there are exams, the next day and that too if I’m interested in that. This is what I think of gaming.

Advantages of Gaming:

1) Team work: This is the one which every person should have.

2) Concentration: Only certain games like CS helps to improve this, i.e., aiming but it depends on practice too.

Disadvantages of Gaming:

1) Frustration: This one is most common among all the gamers. There is a saying in Telugu that: “Your frustration is your enemy”.

2) Lazy: Once you started getting addicted to games, this will certainly increase day by day. I think all of you know the effects of laziness. Right now, I can think of these 2 and there are few small disadvantages like you sleep more.

Gaming is not the only source of Team work and Concentration. For Team work, you can do projects with your batch mates and there are various ways to improve your concentration.

So, why do most of us want to play games? The most probable reason is “To win”. What do we get, if we win? : It gives some pleasure. What do we get, if we loose? : It disheartens us. What is it, if we win/loose?: We waste at least half of its time thinking about our role in making our team win/loose. So, we are not only wasting time in playing games, but also thinking about it. I am not saying,”NO” to games, but they shouldn’t be part of your life at your critical points. At such situations, playing games can be compensated by time management which I can see in some of my friends.

Finally: “ADDICTIVE GAMING IS HARMFUL TO YOUR LIFE UNLESS GAMING IS YOUR PROFESSION”.

Rahul says,”My parents are looking for a bride and they showed some photos to me and I don’t like even one. Then, I sent your photo saying that my girl should at least look this”. She thanked him for his help and she gets a good impression of him. Next morning, they have their breakfast together and police find that those 2 rowdies missing too. After sometime, he returns to the bus and his friends ask him about Shweta. They say that she is missing. He asks everyone to begin searching for her. He acts as if he is following them and suddenly turns back and goes into the bus and searches the luggage of Satish and Arjun. They find her sleeping in her room and by this time he joins them. The journey starts again.

The bus suddenly stops as the bus tire is punctured. She couldn’t stand and he takes her to a nearby shop in the village. He looks completely tensed as it was nearing 10. At the same time, the police officer, Rajeev receives a call from someone and a guy asks the police for a room in Shweta’s parents’ house seeing the “TO-LET” board. The guy kills both the police who are appointed for protecting her parents as soon as they asked him to follow and turned back. Then, a group of rowdies follow him into the house and he sends a message that his mission is done. Rajeev tries to call the police but unable to connect as there is no signal in that area.

Shweta and Rahul are watching news in the TV in that shop. In news comes that 2 guys working for Veera Reddy found dead 1/2 km from the place they stayed that night. Their friends come and tell them that bus is about to start. He asks them to go as he is trying to tell her something. Suddenly, his cell makes a beep sound. Then, Rahul calls her,”Ashwini” and says that he is working for Narasimham and she needs to come with him and tell him where that video-tape is, otherwise she will loose her parents. They hear a huge sound from where the bus is and it is the police cab that is blasted off. He explains everything for her.

1) The essay competition about “India by 2020″ is to find Ashwini. Then, in the debate about cultures, he finds out that she is Aswini.

2) The photo in his cell is sent by Narasimham after he gets the photo.

3) He is not Rahul and he is Vijay and he got that stuff after he beats Rahul badly and tied him in a room.

4) She slept in her room because he dipped some tablets in her water glass which makes her feel exhausted. This is to plant the bomb in the police cab and find who the secret agent is.

5)Finally, the beep sound indicates that the work is done on the other side.

He also says that he finds that the secret agent is none but Satish. He also that they are being watched by him and he can’t do anything because he took his gun from his bag when he is searching his bag. When they are trying to get away from him, Satish attacks Vijay and in the fight, Vijay kills Satish. Then Vijay receives call from Narasimham,”MISSION SUCCESSFUL till now” and he ends the call.

Narasimham tells his main rowdy, Suresh working under him, that “MISSION FAILED IN THE LAST STEP”. He says,”What shouldn’t have happened has happened.”

Ashwini says that she has kept it in a locker and the key is with her. Then he asks her to take him there. In the middle, she tries to escape once and there will be an encounter with rowdies. After they successfully escaping from them, he realizes that he has seen one of them somewhere but couldn’t remember. He ties her in the car and he works hard to get the video tape. In the mean time, she also works hard and unties herself and finds his ID card and she gets stunned and starts to get towards him. Then, rowdies they previously encountered came and took her away.

He gets back to car and finds that she is missing. Then, someone from back saying,”hands up”. He rises his hands and turns back to find that it is Arjun.

P.S.: Try to predict the next part of the story.

I don’t want to prolong this story as this will take atleast 10 more episodes. In this post I’m summarizing half of the remaining story in brief.

———————————————————————————————

The rest is as follows:

Rajeev settles the dispute. Akash asks his boss about his promotion as a police on their way to Mallesh’s room. They won’t find him in that room instead they will find someone else. Rajeev first thinks that Akash was wrong and in no time he realizes that Mallesh escaped with the help of manager. The incident that happened a while ago is the part of the plan.

There will be funny conversation between Subbarao and the rest of singles in the bus about why he is still unmarried. As the trip starts boring, Rahul takes initiative to conduct a contest among. He asks everyone to write an essay about “India by 2020″. Everyone writes something except Shweta. He asks if she is not interested in writing that. Then she says that will be position of India if people like him increase. She thinks he is the secret agent who was appointed to protect her. She becomes uneasy whenever she sees him. On the night, Rahul and Shweta will have a debate about Comparison of Indian culture with foreign. This debate arises when they are watching some film on TV. They want to rest in hotel for the night. He meets the two police and takes their number. In the middle of night, when he is entering the bathroom, he hears someone saying,”He is trying to close to Shweta Ma’am and he may harm her. I’ll inform you of his death by 10 tomorrow.” He hears this conversation and waits(hiding) outside the bathroom who it was. After 10 minutes he goes inside the room and finds that there is another door to the bathroom. He moves to that wing and checks if any of the rooms has its light ON and he finds none. He keeps thinking about it and he has one of the worst dreams about it. He wants to go out for a walk. He wants to find who it was. He calls and asks his friend to find out the singles(guys) on the bus who is registered after Shweta was registered(because he thought for her protection an officer might be appointed). His friend tells him that there are two and they are Arjun and Satish.

He is thinking about it in the garden and he hears Shweta talking to her parents on phone. Suddenly there is a silence and he heads towards where sound came from and finds two guys pointing guns on Shweta’s head and asking her where the tape is. He calls the police officer and drops the phone there so as their conversation can be heard on the phone and he rushes into them as Shweta seems completely tensed. He convinces them as if he knows everything and at the same time tells the police that they are in garden. The police catch them and ask who they are. They tell that they are working for Veera Reddy and he wants them to kill her and destroy the tape. They tied their hands and want to keep them in a room till morning and then take them to the nearby police station.

Then, as they are leaving, she picks up his cell phone and finds out her picture. She asks him about that.

* That’s * it * for * today*
