AEPA --A new trend in marriage celebrations.

My introduction to AEPA-- Slowly the trends in family gatherings is changing. Now a days i had a strong feeling that i am getting introduced to AEPA ---All Engineers Parents Association.--- This is the trend that is catching up now a days on a large scale and the most happening event is attending these AEPA marriages, These families are basically more of a nuclear set up with one child or two both of them have done Engineering stream Graduations and their parents in turn have to meet up another Engineers parents. So these trends of marriages are unique and are considered to be very innovative, coming from a typical brahminical background which always insisits that we have to perform and perform and perform without any reservations. The parents are all set to marry their children to another Engineering graduate thus ignoring the other eligible bachelors of other streams of education. There are many things that happen at these events, you will have preference to eat or talk or sit besides these parents only if you are aware of latest happenings in jobs, if you use only the latest gadget that is available else you are streamlined to be a average gullible citizen, the typical words that float around in discussion is about facebook accounts, whatsup, and all other relevant social networking apps. your number is shared only if you have one of them else you are a tribe in these marriages. But thanks to the availability of latest information about these marriages and events related to these marriages the trends in the selection of ritual garlands, makeup and dress etc. All are like a trendsetter in marriages, There are different in many ways, some prefer to go the traditional way, some of them opt for simpler way. However, the marriages will have a telecast in the form of youtube or any other network settings that majority of the viewers or relatives prefer to use or glue to their laptops or tablets or any other device. The trends in marriages especially among the techies are changing like a click of a mouse. Your dinner is arranged with different menus and more than half of it goes waste into the drain. I had a great and innovative experience in being a guest at these marriages, truly, marriages are made in heaven either and it is a fortune to all of them who are married and certainly the way these nuclear set up families are changing these rituals into a new paradigm shift. Altogether a great Experience and however i cannot forget to call it AEPA.....So many of you can start calling these typical set of marriages as AEPA.

In pursuit of Academics.

My journey of ACADEMICS started with a Commerce Graduation from PVR TRUST DEGREE COLLEGE an affilitated college to a reputed University in South India- Andhra University (Below is the picture of the Beech behind this Reputed University-A.U-Visakhapatnam,A.P, INDIA) and typically came to a break at another important southern Indian university called Nagarjuna University.

I started my journey with a Bachelors in Commerce and went to another town for the Post Graduation in commerce- M.Com. and again after that I started my another pursuit in allied subject to my specialisation i.e.  Law -- started my job career along with the Law Degree classes in the afternoon and completed Law Degree--LL.B in 1999 that is the time where many graduates in Cyberabad would aim for an IT/ITES job and land up for training in US for a month or at times for 7-9 months and again back in the process for the next two years. My typical journey of English speaking communication started with a MNC consulting company and then it took to pursuit of better academics as all my peers were thronging to a changed lifestyle with new accents, new pursuits of learning and completing the jobs at wee hours...waking up all the night to burn the midnight oil for a greener pasture...i am no exception to it. After getting opportunities to work in these MNC organizations my quest for a better and more standardised English started with an opportunity to work with a major MNC at Bangalore and then it went on to explore further opportunities with "Earth's most Trusted company"--Amazon. as a third party client.. I started working hard and at the back of the academic goals  i have the target to complete the most fascinating degree of all Graduates of this generation --M.B.A ..i have enrolled for it but took a break and started to understand various processes on which many graduates will start their pursuit for better life, I being no exception started to chase these careers from 2003 and without any break in between. I achieved another suffix in the Academic suffixes to my name in 2010 along with my job in the most fascinating IT major called Infosys which suited the occasion as i had the most coveted Degree for many graduates of this generation -an M.B.A in International Business and HR a dual specialization.Then i went on to get a major breakthrough to work with a Mortgage firm and then enrolled for the compliance degree called LL.M in corporate laws from another major university in south India. All the day I was busy with the numbers and in the evening my pursuit to understand Indian corporate laws which is an ever green subject of amendments and further changes and with introduction of new corporate compliances in many new acts. I somehow pulled up the courage and went onto to pen down  for these exams with my learned skill sets in written communication as well and did my best to interpret all these laws as per the examination point of view and after another stint with Amazon, I took the necessary  topic of contention in these laws called- corporate governance- and did all the research to complete even this  research qualification. LL.M in corporate laws in October 2012. This proved to be a long time to end my academic pursuits with Five Academic qualifications suffixes to my name thus ending a 225 hours of Written Examinations to complete these Five Academic suffixes...Bachelor of Commerce-B.Com.-57 hours of written examination papers-- Master of Commerce- M.Com- 30 hours of Written examination papers--- Bachelor of Laws - LL.B - 54 hours of Written examination Papers --- Master of Business Administration--M.B.A---60 hours of Written Examination Papers --- Master of Laws--LL.M--24 hours of written examination Papers... but still there is something else to do but it it easier to read it but tough to spend such  long hours writing those papers for what we read & remember  barring with the first two suffixes all others have been done along with the regular jobs at different organizations. However,  the learning never stops...I guess the wisdom and knowledge gained will be useful for the rest of life..hoping that this will pave the way for a better career.......who acknowledges this, needs to have a better understanding on career.......my Pursuit for knowledge is still an unfinished zest..........let the journey continue......because knowledge is an Enormous Power........it makes you and breaks you as well............This is the longstanding knowledge seeds that are sown in the tiny town of east coast in A.P that has grown up like a tree of extending learning..my thanks to one and all who accompanied me in this journey including my wife who even after a month of married life has allowed me to write the academic exams of LL.M...this is how a journey in pursuit of better academic life will continue, let me wait and see whether it will allow me  to take to new destinations!!
