March 2011








As usual, im starting with the cliched monotonous words: "Havent blogged in a long time, hence this fine morning i decided to pull myself together to sit, think and write a blog post". Ok, with that i believe ive done the initial formality of providing a Prologue to this entry. Im silly, i know !!
Anyway what truly inspires me to write this post is my friends blog, which kindof provided me an insight into his thoughts and activities. I met this guy in college and he is my friend mainly because of the fact that we more or less experience the same things on a daily basis, and even our study timings were weird and similar.
Saw a movie by the name Varanam Aayiram this week. It is said to have received many critical acclaims and i truly feel the movie deserves it. Not a movie of the contemporary style with action, masala and romance, yet caters to the audience. It reflects the various stages of life of a father and son, the bond they share between them, the tragedies that one may have to face and the realisation that life ultimately HAS to move on. I would truly recommend it as a good watch.




Every year we keep doing news things, experimenting newer varieties and so on. Its fun. And in the process even without us realising, we are maturing. My friend reflected a few of his disappointing moments at a few events of which i was a part of, and i must say, i was truly lucky and on the better edge at those times. Anyway presently it seems that everything appears to indicate that it about time to stop enjoying fests and focus on academics or to do some kindof solid work. This post may not appear to be organised, well its truly because of the fact that it wasnt planned and im jotting it down just the way it appears in my mind. Hence it may not assume a logical sequence. Another thing i realised was that i had deleted my orkut account some time back. My friend had mentioned about a sort of emotional attachment to that account, well it is true, i had some of my best moments in that world, even though i had just joined after my 12th. S3 and S4 i was very active in using that account. Now like i mentioned, times are all slowly changing. We are in our S6 and now preparing for an exit from this insti of which we have been a part of, irrespective of whether we made a mark on it or not.

A group of about 96 students from my batch went to the IIT Madras, one of the finest engineering colleges in the country, last week. And it was truly an awesome experience for me for i always wanted to "be" in an IIT and had joined some coaching institutes to get there, ALAS it wasnt a worthy experience as i had failed to do the right kindof preparation required to crack that exam, the IIT JEE. Anyway had a lotta fun in Chennai city, the capital of Tamil Nadu. Most of us went to the Express Avenue, one among the popular malls there. It was a fantastic experience and also the night outs our batch had at the Gajendra circle, assumed to be the central point of IITM. Also had the good fortune of seeing a few of my old classmates there. It was truly fun being with them. On seeing the place for the first time, i was kindof depressed at having wasted all those years of preparation, which if i had properly utilised would have landed me in a seat here at this insti. Well i must admit the feeling gradually passed. Ya and the food that we had at their canteen " Tiffanys" was also pretty ok. Not too bad a place to hang out at. All together it was an awesome trip we had :)

Me and Lion King :P

I am definitely a firm believer of the fact that once in a way, we should all pause to think about all the good and bad things that have happened in our lives. After all what is life without emotions? Of what value is a life to us if it is merely for enjoyment? With this food for thought i leave you to peace and ecstasy :D adios amigos( for now :P)

Random thoughts !!

Maybe because of the fact that all my days are truly boring and non eventful, maybe not, i dont know( i am good at coming up with excuses) that i refrain from posting in daily. Life as usual is truly hectic and not easy to describe the complex functionalities of the daily life, which can't be given a vivid description, but i assure you, survival is most difficult and what all things we do to just move is absolutely amzing and stunning, right from pleasing our teachers and doing assignments to the ever perilous task of explaining why your late for class, and coming up with new innovative excuses every morning does constitute a major chunk of our college life. And unlike the old days, when people used to say that college life is the best part ( still hear it a lot), i find it a struggle to merely move on, i mean the only real time we have is used up for finishing off daily chores and mugging for the next day, and you wouldn't believe it, there are teachers who actually punish yo...

The blog post!

To start with, I think I should justify the heading, the title post, well, this is again one of those blog posts I'm putting in after a very very long time in which a lot of wonderful and not so wonderful things have happened in my life. Well thats why its called "The blog post!" One of the books I have been recently reading is Sidin Vadukut's Who let the dork out?. About the book and all, its quite funny and interesting and it was more interesting for me as was written by a malayali. Some words randomly thrown here and there did make some sense to me! The sad part is that well, in between I got lazy and still have around 50 pages towards the climax. This trait of my character that I identified is that I do not like to dive deep into anything. I might find something interesting and trust me, I dont even start with anything if I dont find it very interesting.I get the plot then I leave. Its too difficult to keep my interest pinned onto something. But these days ...

Reactive Powder Concrete

This was my topic for paper presentation ever since S3 and is tied to an array of memories. It all started in first year when a senior told me about presentations and how he had used that money to purchase an ipod. It wasnt the prospect of getting an ipod but the fact that platforms were open to display of talent that made me think seriously about this. And the perfect venue was open at Aavishkar, a tech fest conducted by CET when i was in S3. Me and my classmate Vivek formed a partnership and performed, we came out with 1st. Must admit the fact that both of us did considerable good work in presenting that paper. This was followed by a series of other fests in which i got 1st for the paper. It truly was a lucky paper. But some time recently it seems that its run outta luck. Well, basically i believe its because of my mindset. I must admit the fact that im tired of presenting the same thing over and over again. So at this juncture as i refrain from presenting this topic any further, I ...
