All bout meeeeeee

Heylo..


Welcome to ma Crib@@ hahhaha.. well my space my zone this is all about me.


Theres so much to say about myself but a simple word i guess completes it all - RAV!!!


.. Yup its me Ravelino Myrin Dsouza i know my second name is Myrin itz a combination of my God_parents names Martin and Margaret. Cool eh! And o yes my name reins from the famous footballer - Revelino.. yes yes my dad was a sports man and all rounder .. and so being my parents first born .. named after a Footballer.. unfortunately .. football has never been an interest of mine i know truly sad, actually feel bad for my dad u know he expected me to get into sports... the only sports i did was ran in a race when i was 8 years of age came second.. cool i know!! thats a different thing there were only two of us!! HAHHAHAHA But I guess he has understood by now that this son has no sports interest.


I was born under the Best Star sign under the planet.. Stubborn and Head strong fighter.. The BULL. 19th May 1980 also happens to my grand moms birthday. May her soul rest in peace.


I have had a super duper and amazing childhood. Well I was a.k.a Prince Charming beat that... yup mom used to call me cute i know!! And Prince charming used to have just 2 things to do.. Eat and Sleep. quiet complicated at times when sleep used to be round the corner and food being served.. not too difficult of a choice.. "Food First OK Please"


My heart and soul is still food.. Theres this attachment. u know something like you knew it before it came..hahahaha. you may feel i was a glut.. I completely Disagree.. I was just very Hungry! yes.


Loved by the whole world because of my cute n loving nature, never had a problem getting stuff.. u know they probably saw me as a cute teddy bear and got stuff for me... haahahha. I dont remember really troubling my parents for a lot of things I guess thats because they knew what was best..


My parents.. well i was wacked - i dont recollect why?? but they say that I was naughty.. i just thought the horns on my head were to hold that Halo I had!! guess God Knows! In all, Parents were strict when it came to cleanliness and manners. esp mom.. I was forbidden to leave my seat when we went to someones house.. the Instructions were "Rav - sit in one place, Do not go on fidgeting and when someone offers anything to eat - pick one ONLY; you can come home and eat whatever you want" And so when we went somewhere more than being delighted to see the people i was scared.. And yup MOMs eyes were like hovering over me ALL THE TIME!!! HAHAHaa.. Dad, was much cooler i guess, unless i did something really major.. u know when u fidget with stuff and then u happen to break it and hide it and dont tell anyone.. yup those were major, because that would probably be something like work tools, or related to something very expensive or some video cables just purchased kept in my 'SAFE' place. yup no one could it find it then .. not even I!!! But my parents have been with me standing strong and ever loving.. U know the slightest cry and dad used to wake up @ night and mom always savin my ass when i used to be all tied up.



Okay now comes the Main!! u know like a web program u have to a MAIN to allow your entire program to function -- thats my Brother! Yup still remember moms tummy growing when he was in and I wished for a brother – you will not believe why?? cmon lucky guess?? anyone..


I wanted someone to play Fottball with!!! I know so odd right. Well he was born and was the cutest, Smart brilliant outstanding accads – man he was the works he calls himself GOD!! He believes in himself and thats his strength of what he is. Wondering whats his name -- I think it was a cricket/ hockey player -Gilmor modified to Gilmerio. O yes when my dad seen him, thoght ok lets try again with a different sport!! to make it really short.. We both do not associate ourselves with sports.. for some reason I guess we both know its just a pointless!! Not that we hate it, just not too appealing.

O well my bro is who I look upto when I am completely lost.. you know even though younger to me.. he does have very good way to percept and approach things. Wise in all.



Anyway were both out of sports.. but developed a very strong liking for music - Music of any kind i mean we feel the spirit of the composure and what he felt at the time. We both use music to express ourselves, our deepest darkest moment can be felt through music. We both composed music in all good time.. we had the ability to read and have a hear for music. Were not Mozart, but I guess Gilmer and Rav good enough!! Apart from this I guess I can improvise on stuff and give life into it, give me an idea of a home and ill make that a palace. Not by talk but reality..hehehehe


In understanding myself over these years, I am a lovable, extra thoughtful, caring. Patient, enduring, emotional, hard working, lazy, selfish, mean and to a few a gyaan guru. O yes I do free counseling hahahhaha.. yup I am known as The Coach for the OGB! How cool is that??


Over these years, I have met so many wonderful people not of my age only and for some reason have shared a bond with them, connected with them in a very special way. I mean you can always count on me to give you that shoulder to be when you need it. .. I may be not there at your times of happiness but at times when all leaves you, ill be there!! Reminds me of that friends song – by the rememberandts. My mom still screams over me – you can have only one friend – but hey I cant stop myself from being me.. u know its not that difficult just sharing a smile and keeping the sourness for other life probably.


Being a Hostelite – I guess I learned things in a very different way, would say the hard way but definitely a way thats worthwhile. Stronger through pull the worst of situations.. u know in a hostelites life the worst thing is to fail in your exams, have 7 atkt's and to put a cherry on top your doing it from Pune University!! O man ill never forget that final year had so much of a ball of a time.. and yes my grades were not presentable to the TATA industry either...hahhahh. At that final term, I told myself a very simple truth - “Rav – you have to give all these papers and clearing them seems so difficult but lets look at the bright side... what I already have no one can change that, so worst case – all the papers remain!! I am already held guilty in that so it can Only Be better... ” Trust me man, it was – I cleared with a Firstclass and 1.8% less for my distinction... Wow!! yes I still quietly pat my back on that achievement.


Spiritually, I would not say that I was like an alter boy or something, regular prayer and thats it!! but the power of God is so awesome... He has made me realize that all his ways are for His glory and his alone. I am still getting my faith to a better place. Do prayer for me.


I am ready to walk on my two feet and give Praise and Glory to God and Thank him endlessly for My family. I could not be blessed more than this to be born in this house. They have gone to hell and brought me back... not to may families stand together during such a time. All they saw was me.

To my Relatives Friends and loved ones. I know everyone did thinking Rav would do the same for me; but ill be honest what you have done is a miracle, a act of love kindness and hope.

Hey Edlyner. That was amazing. I enjoyed reading it Mr. Coach :-) We sure had some good times eating. Dude I remember you coming first in a race. Remember! Well, let me remind you. It was after Maundy Thursday mass. As soon as the final hymn was done, we ran from church to your house to .... You beat all of us. Haha That was a funny scene man.

Take care my Edlyner friend.

Hey I agree with Sarita well written .. like you are narrating it yourself in person..

I got a story for you..

I remember meeting you for the first time.. well the first time that I remember anyway.. you were outside church in this wierd afro hairdo.. and smiling like you knew me.. hahah.. then when I once came in your building looking for you I asked the kiddos (dale..puri..calvin) for Ralph..(which i assumed was short for Ravelino) man the entire building resounded with a chorus from all the kids down in your building "its RAV" ..from then onwards I have never ever called you by any other name..(except those restricted to the OGB.. aye coach)

Hey Bro,
Great article. Just wanted to add about the sports person in you.
Remember; after lectures getting over, we used to have walking races from our engineering college to our hostel. Remember first year of engineering, the first few days; walking as fast as possible so that we were not caught by our seniors. :)
Dude, you were a sportsman in engineering also. :)

Hey Rav you know it was really very well written and it was almost as if you were sitting and telling me yourself with all those funny expressions and sounds that you make.
Hey the music part is true even the songs that you used to sing in ducks voice were so good.
Always be this way Rav.LHKMM
