ചുമ്മാ!

In the midst of a stupid meeting. Getting disconnected and connected. Pretty boring. I was looking through Google Analytics to check some details. Suddenly, saw that I had connected our blog. Just went through some old posts. Pretty hilarious to look back and read through the initial days after our college.

ചുമ്മാ!

നല്ല പണിയുടെ ഇടയിൽ ചുമ്മാ ഒരു ബ്ലോഗ്‌ വായിക്കുക ആയിരുന്നു. ആഫ്റ്റെർ എ വെരി ലോങ്ങ്‌ ടൈം. നമ്മുടെ പഴയ ചില പൊസ്റ്റ്സ് വായിച്ചു. ബ്ലോഗിന്റെ ലുക്ക്‌ അത്ര പിടിച്ചില്ല. കുറച്ചൊന്നു മോഡേണ്‍ ആക്കി. ആരെങ്കിലും കാണുമോ എന്നറിയില്ല.

എല്ലാവരെയും മിസ്സ്‌ ചെയ്യുന്നു....

Random(maybe bullshit) thoughts!!

Yet another awesome weekend at #205 passes by. We had lots of discussions( as usual mostly about girls) over couple of pegs..I missed 3 persons from our class especially. Those where Pattu, Pana and Arun, as these were the 3 guys i think who contribute to most of the variety topics while we are drunk. Guys i know pattu dont booze( at least with us), but still he gives a diverse perspective to any topic(though highly imaginatory..!!).

Nowadays the spirit makes me high with swing of moods. One moment i am eccentric and in another i am depressed and again to intellectual. This experience of mood swing is making me addicted to spirits. I even forget about everything next day morning,so am not feeling bad about how much dumb i were and its a good thing i feel.The more dumber part of me is jotting down all these things, but i am sure i will not regret for this tomorrow.

I know we all are busy. Busy with jobs, thinking abt salaries, hikes, promotions, loans, families and n other things.We forms groups within groups and do gossiping about others about whom we think are outside our circle. Frankly I was been part of many such things. But.. But i still feel we can make a change about usual perspectives about relationships get diluting over ages. I understand somebody is married, someone got kids,someone got BF or GF ,and they wont understand our feelings.. but we know each other before all these dramas or reasons ( at least for now i would love to call it like that)..Cant we spend some time thinking nothing about anything else, with everyone of us..may be by calling or mailing or seeing others,and if we can continue this, wouldn't it be wonderful?? After all we all are imperfect, aren't we??.What do u guys say??

Happiest Moment

hai friends,

feb 27th, the most happiest day of my life.. my little prince was born...

all through 9 months we have been craving to knw whther itz a 'boy' or 'girl'. We came to know abt my pregnancy only after 2 months of pregnancy, bcoz i was so packed up with family matters and official things. I felt very sick and in the check up i heard tht happy news tht i am carrying.. but in the 3rd month i was shocked as bleeding started 4 me. don't know how we waited outside tht scan room for the doctor to tell whether our baby's heart is still beating inside me...all i saw through my tears is a photo of " goddess saraswathi " hanging outside the room. The scan timing was over but doctor despite her busy schedule (abt 20 people waiting to c her) ran to the scan room to check me. I was told by ettan that i was pale with no blood circulation on my face. I was taken to the scan room and after scan she told me the baby is active and its movements. Tears ran down my cheeks and she called my hubby and showed us the scan movements. I was asked to take bed rest for two months. I came home to tvm and in the fifth month, while I was having a cup of hot tea, I felt a kick inside me and a burping sound. The first time I felt the movement of my baby inside me. After that my craving for curd and other cold foods started. Don’t know how many ice creams and cutlets I had and that too in the middle of night. I was able to sleep till 10.pm after that I cud n’t sleep as my baby was very active during night time. Again sleep wud come for me at 5.00am. Don’t know how many days I sat watching tv till early morning. At midnight hunger wud haunt me and amma will make something for me to eat. Pavam amma . In the 6th month I came bak to ekm and joined back in coll. I felt the weight gain inside me as my baby grew. I could feel the movement when I had some hot foods and when music was played. Once we had a party at Le Meridian and it was abt 10 pm. The disco music made my kid move like anything and literally I had to hide my belly with my hands to stop others from noticing the kicks here and there which cud be seen out. Some time the movements were such rapid that it caused a severe pain in the lower stomach. All the tablets like folic acid and all the TT injections were taken and in the 8 month I was brought to tvm after the so called “jadangu”. Jan end a pain started for me and I was taken to the hospital and to the labor room. That was the first time I saw the room with others like me. But tht pain was a false pain, i.e it is like a labor pain but not exact one. I was admitted for 2 days and then discharged. After that the routine check up was there. On 26th feb I went for check up usually and I was told it will happen on 7th march and asked to get admitted on 6th. I came bak home and tht day ettan came home like a surprise. He did not even inform tht he is coming, which made me really happy. By 7.00pm a call came from my amma’s house that my grandfather is admitted to hospital and is in the ICU. Achan, aniyathi and amomma went immediately to amma’s place after ettan reached home. Amma said she wanted to c desperately her father but even after we forced her to go she said something is stopping her from going. So she did not go. At 11pm I went to sleep after achan reached the hospital. At 2.45 am on 27th Feb, I got up as there was a back pain for me and I informed my hubby. He called amma and she brought hot water for me, after drinking it I felt ok. But after 15 min again pain started. The GAS problem is usual at this time and moreover doctor assured date is only by 7th march. So I was relaxed but the pain kept on increasing and finally at 3.15 am we decided to go to hospital. Then the problem came how we will go as achan had taken car the previous night to go to amma’s place. The taxi which we had previously booked for any emergency was not available when we tried reaching him over phone. So ettan told he will check in the taxi stand nearby pettah. But amma was tensed as he is not aware of the places and other places were taxi is available. Finally he went assuring amma that he will find some way. At 3.45am he came with an auto and we three wnt to Credence hospital. We reached there at 4.00am and I was moved to the labor room. So silent no body was there in the room only the duty doctor and one patient who was there frm her 4th month as she had twins and had risks.
I was admitted and the doctor checked me and told me that it was labor pain. I was stunned to hear that. Only tis much pain is there for labor tht was my question. But I came to know abt it in another 5 min. they gav me injection and trip was given and pain increased for me. I wanted badly to lie on my stomach but I was asked to stay clam and to inform them when the pain was too much. The pain wud be ther for 5 min then it will subside and then again. Finally I was told my baby is ready waiting and I shud decide on whther to get it or not. I was asked to push really hard and my fluid broke and they asked me to walk to the original labor cot which was only the length of half our usual bed. I lie down on it and all I could hear was “PUSH PUSH PUSH”. I could feel the blood and nerves inside me trying hard to push the baby out. I cried so loud that my hubby, waiting outside the labor room got scared. Finally one more PUSH, and tht was indeed a PUSH, my baby was out at 6.42am and without knowing it I begged my doctor tht we will go for a c-section as I cud any longer push and suffer the pain. She told me “Divya concentrate and relax, hear ur baby crying”. Ya then I heard my baby’s cry and “ the most happiest moment” when I was informed by my doctor ”Itz a boy” . I thanked god and whn I closed my eyes, I felt weightless and as if falling like a feather. He was brought near me and I gav a kiss on his soft and red forehead. I was moved to the bed and the baby was taken for showing to amma and ettan. I saw my amma with her face smiling and her eyes with tears and her hands with a “thumbs up” sign at me. I remember that was the first time I saw my amma happy than any other time. My hubby’s eyes too were filled with tears. My baby with his eyes wide open was exicitingly looking at his achan and amomma. The gr8 thing is tht he did not cry after that but was smiling and making a sound like “tup” “tup”. My hubby was not allowed to c me at tht time and I could hear him asking the staffs to show me. Amma was very sad as achan and others cud not be ter at tht time. But again god gave a surprise, The moment the baby was showed to amma, achan and aniyathi and my other relatives were ter waiting behind her and amma cudn’t c them bcoz of tears. I don’t know how they managed to reach back from adoor (amma’s place) within 1.5 hr.s, as my father was informed by amma only at 5.00am tht I was having labor pain. I was given tea after that and I will say thtz the most tastiest tea I had in my whole life. To get a drink after such a tedious task, my god itz great ! Me and my baby was taken to our room by 8.00am.

The miracle still remains like how my hubby came the previous night and how my achan came from adoor in 1.5 hrs and how my delivery was done and I gave birth to a baby in 2.5 hrs.

Chronicles of lazy and bored me..

I am getting so bored and dats y i thought of writing something in our blog. and of course i dont have any clear idea abt what to write here also. ;-).I dont have anything to do and in fact i am very lazy to do anything also. I wish if it was monsoon, but alas i am in midst of worst ever summer. The tv channels are pathetic except for a few like Rosebowl, Lumiere and UTV world movies. I started watching devotional kinda TV serials with amma. A big salute for those directors for picturing those great stories in this worse manner.I like the old amarchitra kathas and those faces rather than watching these stupid actors. I still have a clear image in my memories of Mr.Ravanan with big mustache fighting Jadayu in mid air ,wow what a majestic scene man!!. I feel i remember it only coz of those great drawings and i feel these kind of cartoons only can show justice to our epic stories.

I have a broadband connection with a decent speed, but the PC is pathetic, its AMD duron( wonder how many of u have heard abt that), with 128 MB RAM, 20 GB HDD and with ONLY Floppy disk drive. Now u can think abt my situation which is quite similar to like, forced to wear ur old and dirty underw**r which u used in ur 10th std, and yes it surely irritates u a lot. I am adjusting with that and trying to get best out of the possible options( u should not correlate with UW now..!!). Some times i feel nostalgic abt my PC and uhmm my UW also.. :-)

Now i am on a short lunch break from the cinema parade , thanks for Mr.Pattuski aka Naveen for the USB drive and de movies, and wishing him gud luck for his hopes that i will return the USB drive tomorrow. He never learns from the past mistakes.

Will keep u guys updated with things that is happening arnd me and in tvm city.

Shifts....

Within a week of landing @ Trinfy, i knew that I made a mistake by getting a transfer from Mysore. Initially i thought tht it was because of the campus. Mysore had everything...Trinfy is just a typical office building, with almost zero campus!! But later I realized tht it was not just the campus. It was the team... Somehow, i couldnt feel good about the way in which the team worked!!!

And now, adding salt to my wound, there will be a 7 Day work plan!!! :( Mon-Thursday, it is normal working plan. Then, the team is split into 3, each one coming to work on either friday/sat/sunday. This has effectively spoiled my weekends... Weekend trip with Anand and divakar. It will mostly(read: almost every time) to shangumugham, have some chaaya/kadi followed by a dinner @ some hotel. Still, the weekends were good. But now, this plan might spoil everything!!!

Need to plan something devilish to convince the 'Big Shots' to remove this '7 day' stuff...

Windows 7 rocks...

To be frank, I was happy that Vista was a failure. I mean, I was stuck with XP for almost 6 years and when Vista came, it needed all these hardware upgrades. 2 GB RAM, 20 GB HDD blah..blah..blah.. And when it failed big time, I was actually smiling :)

But now, after I've upgraded my machine, I've found out that it is XP which actually sucks!! :) I mean, it dosent support 64 bit processors and 4 GB RAM. I mean, why can't a OS switch from 32 bit to 64 bit? The developers should have added an additional attribute in some config properties file and voila... upgrade over after a system restart :).

Anyways, the point is that when windows 7 was launched, I was waiting for it. The initial reviews were all gr8. and when I saw someone selling genuine windows 7 in ebay for a really...really low price, I couldnt resist.

So, I got the Windows 7 DVD on friday evening, and within 24 hrs. my machine was up and running with 7. The OS absolutely rocks... :) It is fast, it looks really nice and the new aero feature is just the icing on top of cake. The best thing which they have done is the way they have designed the new taskbar. It looks really simple and un-cluttered. And for someone who has been seeing XP for nearly 6-7 years both at office as well as at home, this switching is like watching a color movie after watching b/w movies for his entire life :)

I would really recommend this OS for everyone... This is gonna be the successor to PX :)

Ciao..

#205

Today i went thru some of past postings in our blog.. It was containing so many things.. marriages, company outings, get together, some travel experiences, some tag posts..etc etc. then surprisngly i realized i was not part of anything ..more precisely i dont have been part or i dont have any of these experiences .. i was not there in most of marraiges, get togethers.. i didnt have a company outing.. nor have some travel expereince( guys i didn forget abt kumarakom and palava treats).. Then i thought where am i spending my time other than in office.. am i having some good time?? or am i missing something? that thinking made me to post abt #205..

#205 is our house(rented ofcourse) .. indeed a very spl one.. and i know many of u have some thing to remember abt this house. The amazin fact abt #205 is that once ur inside and survive for a week, assume that u can live anywhere in the world. Many men tried to change its very behaviourial nature and tried make it smell better.. but none ever suceeded... infact #205 changed every one in its course of 2 years.. Dipu, nijel( both huaweians), then our master dinkumon.. everyone lost their battle to #205. #205 have now 6 +1 members. u may not be wondering abt that 1.. yes its one, one and half ONE( rajeev alias thottu). ..Here we discuss abt almost everything under the sun ( mostly every girl under the sun)...we often end up fighting over the figures.. and then usually end up in beating either master dinkumon or thottumon( u can say routine and they are our punching bags)..

When we moved into #205 we had an amazing view from our 1st floor balcony window, a 3 storeied, completely packed, ladies PG. Guess what , now we have the same building and a couple more in the block with 'To let' hoardings. Some times it pays for being gr8 moral watchdogs. Some pple say that we are jealous of couples talkin and smoochin infront of our gate. but we dont care.. we always stand for the the noble cause( means if i dont have it then u also shouldn )..

#205 have witnessed so many things.. Here each day is a celebration in its own way. may be a DCH way. We eat,party, sing,dance,drink,fight, throw up, mess up and sleep together. . We wakeup ...again off for new spl day.. There re lot more things i want to say abt #205, but let some things be un told..

Got my accomodation in our company guest house.. it was hardly 2 mins walk from the office.. that was one good part of the work there.. food was awesome... fish curry try cheytha divasam mathram cheetti poyi..
And then came the weekend... thanks to nibin for his company... he came to forum near my house in his Alto aka "Mercedes my class" :-) along with his mallu friend Sumesh... nibine, athu thanne alle avante peru?
kurachu neram vaynokki nadannu.. then we started feeling thirsty.... njangal ellarum oru chaya kadayil poyi oro chaya paranju... nibin ordered strong tea :-) pinne avide kure neram paradooshanam paranju irunnu... sumesh left after sometime as he was staying with his family...
nibinum njan koode kure neram kolkata nadannu kandu.... we discussed many things from college days to even a settled life in the future... ithanu chaya kudichalulla prashnam...
after an hour, we again started feeling thirsty... this time nibin said that there is a tea stall in which they play rock music... ennal sheri.. athum onnu try cheyyam ennu vechu..
went in and order another round of tea... the music and the girls(who came along with other boys) were good...
by the time we got out, it was around midnight... we planned to take a tour of kolkata in his merc. we set off to see Howrah bridge... kure dooram IIT Kharagpur routil poyi... then we concluded that we are in the wrong route.. then we planned to see victoria memorial... we came back to the city and then travelled the same roads again and again in search of her memorial... :-) avasanam avan oru kuttikaada choondi kanichittu paranju.. "Aliya.. avideyanu victoria memorial... light illathathu konda ninakku onnum kaanan pattathu ennu..." njanum athu vishavasichu... anyway we saw vidyasagar sethu during our hunt for howrah bridge..

Kolkata Life


Hi

I hope all of my friends are doing fine in their professional and personal life. I was going through our old posts and I really felt good (and bad) after going through it. So as it is been a long time I wrote something, I though I should do one now.

My life in Kolkata is going fine. I have many things to share and I am starting to write them here. It is durga puja festival time and I got enough time to read my favorite books and be lazy and sleep well also :)

So from where shall I start writing. ??? (and forgive for this not being in a structured way)

First of all about the new friends in Kolkata. It is really difficult to get good friends after you complete your academics. I find it really difficult to find new friends after passing out from college. It is not because I became more workaholic(which is not true) or lack of interest, it just didn't happen. The chemistry of two different personalities will match only if enough time is given to know each other. And even if they both give enough time, they are bluffing each other to rule the show. So I find it really difficult to know any person outside my company. This doesn't mean I am very desperate in my life. I like it that way and I enjoy my time in reading books and visiting new places.

I was not that fond of books when I was in college. I used to listen to Naru and Diwakar who read many books and I also dream of reading that much books. What really made me to read books is that I am having a number of questions in life. It includes spiritual, religious, politics, self improvement, and this lead me to books. Each book gave me a number of answers but it opened a fresh number of questions also. So now I enjoy reading a lot. A good thing that happened after reaching Kolkata :)

I found that the culture in Kolkata is rocking. The night life is superb and the babes are hot. It is also very true that Kolkata is the "City of Joy". Every person who visits Kolkata will find that the people here are very happy even if their living conditions are poor. But there are things that need to be changed. The industrial, political and economic views should change. It is also very painful to see that things are changing at a slow pace here. I tried comparing our own Kerala and there is good and bad at both sides. I feel very happy to experience the different cultures.

The place I stay is a planned city/municipality called as "Salt lake city". Salt lake city is about 15 Kms far from the south Calcutta(err, park street: the place I hang around) and this is located at the North Calcutta. People who are living in Kolkata are having a different culture compared to the Salt lake culture. The people who are settled in salt lake is more NRI's and other affluent classess who are living more of a life of their own. I can see some community centers around but with my conversations with people in Kolkata, they say that salt lake culture doesn't represent the life of Kolkata. It can be correct. The people in Salt lake are living a life of their own and I think the families don't even know their neighbors( a possibility). Anyway, I am staying here and I am enjoying my stay :)

Recently I visited a beach resort in West Bengal. The name of the place is Mandermoni(see the picture above) which is 180+Kms from the place I stay. It was a fun trip with my flat mate (who is also my colleague). I drove the whole journey in my car. I should say that the beach was superb as it was very long. We could drive the cars through the beach and it was total fun. But what I missed was the great waves that can be seen in shankhumugam. The sea waves here were so silent and I didn't see any great waves that could burn your spirits to jump up. But I recommend this place for anyone who likes to spent some time with their loved ones because it is you and the beach alone left with the sound of a silent beach.

Thats all for now. Wishing you all the best.

PS: I will be visiting home during Xmas. Catch you all at that time.

Take care,
Nibin

Countdown Tag

No one seems to be posting anything these days! Divya posted about her wedding visheshams. Good. Since I cannot post anything like that, lets do a tag!

10 Things I've realized/ 10 realizations
  1. I
    am susceptible to negative emotions ala jealousy, possessiveness etc
    etc. Big surprise for a someone who is nearly altruistic most of the
    time!
  2. I process a huge amount of information everyday. 75%
    non-work and 25% work. Blame Google Reader for this! Lots and lots of
    posts everyday. If I happen to read a book, the volume goes up by a lot.
  3. I have quite a strong gut and is able to see gross stuff more than an ordinary guy.
  4. I don't sound that good on phone. :-<
  5. I am a Challenger
    (The link is a small pdf of 84 KB, definition of Challenger is there in
    page 130). Came to know about this after a team building programme I
    attended last week.
  6. I am very lazy when it comes to things affecting me. :-D
  7. I tend to think a lot and deduce crazy stuff!
  8. I cannot sit idle.
  9. Life is something not to be taken that seriously.
  10. I like cold beer!
9 things I'm glad about.
  1. My family. You cannot decide who you want to be as your parents and I am glad I got mine.

  3. The decisions I have taken in my life so far.
  4. Enjoying my life to the max.
  5. My ability with words.
  6. My workplace. Surprised, much? :-)
  7. Being
    an Indian. Living in a multicultural society with exposure to such
    diversity. It would be really bland to live in a place where
    singularity prevails.
  8. Having banana chips while writing this!
  9. That
    reminds me...Glad about having a roof over my head, clothes on my body,
    food inside my stomach, and the warmth of being loved. The most
    important point.

8 Things I badly wanna (do)
  1. Write more.
  2. Read more.
  3. Watch more movies.
  4. Listen to more music.
  5. Take a couple of days off to read and write, then another couple to do some urgent stuff I should be doing.
  6. To travel a lot. Kailash Yatra is a big dream for me. Even otherwise, I would like to travel to a lot of exotic places.
  7. Shed some weight.
  8. Complete some stuff I seriously ought to be doing.

7 Things I often tell myself.
  1. Be Good and Do Good. E.T style. :-)
  2. Read More
  3. Write More
  4. Stop thinking too much!
  5. Wake up early.
  6. Start exercising.
  7. Not everybody appreciates your swearing. :-D
6 people I wanna thank. No mutual thanking.
  1. Mom
  2. Dad
  3. Grandma
  4. Friend 1
  5. Friend 2
  6. Friend 3
5 things I believe in.
  1. Me
  2. My intuition
  3. Miracles and Magic (depends on your perspective about the definition of miracle or magic!)
  4. Love
  5. Spirituality. (I am not your run of the mill swami worshiper! I believe in the spiritual side of human beings.)
4 people I tag

People on this blog! (More than 4 I hope!)

3 Confessions
  1. I can be a dumb ass at times.
  2. I can make up really believable lies and excuses.
  3. I hate the objectivist philosophy developed by Ayn Rand. Too individualistic for my taste.

2 Promises
  1. Will not make a promise that I am sure I cannot keep.
  2. Always keep Promise 1.
1 That's exclusively yours. can write anything.

Introspective exercise for dummies!

Posting the Tag!!

1.Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it.
I dont have any scars! But this makes me remember the uncle cum villain lion in the movie 'Lion King' who was called the SCAR!!

2.What does your phone look like?
Literally => My phone looks like a phone! Not the landphone type; the one tht pple use to carry around -the 'mobile' phone type..:D
Actually => Its a SonyEricsson[W700i] without any covers; but a tag hanging unceremoniously to it, which once had a silver-embroidered shining white "P" attached to it.. Its still working perfectly after its GReat fall frm my hostel room in the 3rd floor to the neighbour's-ground! Every single part was separated & i had to use all my mechanical skills to unite it once again!! Hail Paru!!

3.What is on the walls of your bedroom?
On my bedroom walls, sometimes u can see a lizard or two - the white ones & rarely the grey ones[yuck]!!!& if u r really lucky, then u may also spot the spiders hanging on to their marvellous web-houses!!

4.What is your current desktop picture?
My current desktop picture shows a lovely lady holding a cutie baby-girl!! Oh!I forgot!!Thts me!! holding my youngest cousin-gowri!!

5.Do you believe in gay marriage?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Absolutely NO!!
reason1: First of all the concept of 'marriage' arose as to give the society a definite structure - a reason to live a worthy life in harmony & also to continue the human saga with some sense of clarity [like able to know the family-tree..this is my father;this was my father's father etc etc..]
reason2: So frm the above reason, two pple(guys) living together CANNOT, in any sense, be called a 'marriage' in the first(&last) place!!
Summary=> Anyone can live or die together out of their own choice; but giving names to those relationships really matter & it depends on the society, heritage & culture tht had been functioning for a civilized world frm time immemorial!
p.s. Hope that my point is (finally!) clear[:O]

6.What do you want more than anything right now?
To come back to TVM & stay with my family.. I really want tht!!toooooooooo badly..[boooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo:(:(:(] But for that to happen RASET has to be shifted frm Kakkanad to somewhere in TVM[preferably near Eanchakkal! if given the option] as i have also developed a bond with tht college..
=> Bitter, Spit, Cant : Sweet, Swallow, Cant => Rearrange & descramble the words to get a meaningful situation similar to the one i am facing right now!!

7.What time were you born?
I was born at the time when all the birds & animals & even the SUN would go back to their nests/burrows/caves/seas etc etc to take rest & be with their loved-ones; to share the day's stories & journeys they have been thru..
I was born when the Sun was at its best disposure-full of reddish-orange but soothing the eyes when it slowly sets into the dark blue-depths of the sea.. The sky above slowly unravelling its stars & the pearly-white moon from the shades..Aha! wht a exquisite sight it'd have been!!
Finally the Birth-Time: 6.04 PM

8.Are your parents still together?
Literally => No..My father has gone to EKM for a week's official trip & my mother's here in TVM.
Actually => Yes..My parents has been together for 25 years & definitely more years to follow..

9.Last person who made you cry?
Achu(my dearest one) for not eating his dosas & throwing tantrums at me & muthassi because he's hungry!! The cry was the last & the final resource for me to make him eat his dosas!! & it clicked!! (B o y s!!!!!)

10.What are your favorite perfume / cologne?
The smell of Johnson&Johnsons on babies..
[I dont use any cologne or perfume-so cant name any brand as for the question]

11.What kinds of hair/eye color do you like in the opposite sex?
Definitely not white this time!!!! Maybe dark brown..

12.What are you listening to?
I am now listening to the sound of the fan up above me cutting the soft air around it at full speeds!

13.Do you get scared of the dark?
Hmmm..Yes!I cant withstand complete darkness!!

14.Do you like painkillers?
No! I like neither any pains, nor killers nor any painkillers!!

15.Are you too shy to ask someone out?
Literally => No! Just asking someone a "Will you please come out with me"- why should anyone be shy?????!!
Actually => Maybe.. He should be asking that, right?? Yes!Thts the way it shd be(atleast for me!)

16.If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
That 'anything' could be anything from watermelons to sweet-corn soups to chocolate-brownies to milk-halwas to my home-made chocolates to !!

17.Who was the last person that made you mad?
Bonny aka Chandrasekhar ka pitha!!!!!! in hands with our Rajappan aka the Project manager-Sudhir!!!!
For those who havent had a clue yet to whts tht all abt, wait for the mail "Pranks with Paru-Part1" which will be sooner delivered to u by anyone of us who has already got it!! [But dnt expect me to fwd tht!!!!!!!NEverrrr]Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

18.Who was the last person who made you smile?
If tht 'smile' meant the actual subtle smile(without any of ur teeth shown), thn it was achu(again!!) this morning whn he woke up with tht big devlish grin!
Else if tht 'smile' meant uncontrollable laughter, thn it was again tht mail frm Bonny&Rajappan which when shown to my mother & aunt(kochitta) we all shared unanimously!!

Good Bye Trivandrum

Dear All,

I am leaving trivandrum. I have been in this capital city of kerala for 6 years and now it is time for me to say good bye to all. I will be missing shanghumukham beach, kovalam, B6 bar, Our college and a lot many friends. It has been my destiny to start my next phase of career in the oldest city of India and the first capital city of India. Actually speaking, I am really excited to go to Calcutta with lot many dreams, new challenges and culture. I dont know how it will turn me in. I hope Calcutta will teach me new lessons of living a worthy life.

I am selected to work as Security Research Engineer in a company started by IIT Kharagpur alumnites. I am really excited in learning stuffs and facing new challenges. Bless me to fulfill my dreams.

Thanks to all who have been very supportive through out my life. I would like to thank my friends of CS06. You all taught some good lessons and I am really thankful to it. I wish everyone to follow their hearts and to do things that really satisfies you. At the end of the day if you are not happy, then you are trying to fill your mind and heart with lots of "NULL". I hope you all will live a worthy life.

My support, love and heart is always with you. Thanks again for everything. I will miss you all really badly.

Take care

Happy Days.... :-)

Hello all,

After a small gap, me bck in Tvpm... Will be gng bck 2 my native place 2day nite, and frm ter, back 2 the usual work.... Infosys..... So, thought of doing some blogging frm here... Well, first of all, updates on my trip here.... Me reached here on Sat morning, and felt the Heat frm tht day itself... Cmng frm mysore, wer u need a ajcket for almost all time of year, Tvm suddenly frlt realy hot... Unlike other Holidays, this time, most of the time was spent on watching movies.... But to be frank, not one movie was Bad... All were really good ones, Especially "Happy Days" and "Taare Zameen Par"..... :-) On Sat., we (Me,Haf,Naru and nibin) went 2 c Nisha and her baby girl.... Nisha was lying in her bed , and was looking very tired.... And her child was sleeping... So, we talked with her father and Bro for some time, and in the end...talked with "Unda"...

On sunday, We (Read the same set of ppl) went 4 a nice movie.... "Happy Days".... It is a telugu movie dubbed in Malayalam.... I have heard the reviews of this movie when I was in Mysore, and decided to give it a chance... And it turned out to be a really nice movie... Story is about a bunch of friends joining an Engg. College till they passout,including the campus placements... U can expect how the story wld b,rite?? ;-) It is shot in a nice way,and thats wht I liked abt. this one... Then, we all went 2 the Alumni get together.... Saw many other ppl over ter, unlike the one which we had in our college... Princi was happy 2 C us.... But, you can clearly see that Age is catching up on her... She confessed to us that it is getting tough to control the students.... One good thing is that the date of our regular reunion has been changed from August 15th to a sutiable date near to Christmas.... :-) The date is not a fixed one, instead it would vary, but would either be on a Sunday just after christmas, or before that....

Another highlight of Y'Days Get2gether..... Kiru said sorry to Chandru(In particular) and to all other KIDS in front of everyone.... :-) Was never expecting that one from him.... But felt really good wen he said tht... :) Then, we had a dinner, and off we went for our next movie.... "Taare Zameen Par".... This time, it was me,haf and naru..... Tht too turned out an excellent movie..... The Kid's acting is excellent.... Really fantastic..... A must watch, I must say...

Today, entire day, I was in city, paying premium of my LIC policy and doing a bit of shopping for my relatives in my native place....

Thts it frm me now.... Haf bought a new Digicam, and has taken some fotos.... Hopefully, he'll send it accross to us.... Couldn't take any of nisha's kid's fotos as she said tht usually, fotos are taken after 28 days... :-( So, I'm expecting the Tvm fellas to send it accross to us marunadan ppl... :-)

C Ya alllllllll...................
Missing a lot..........(Especially Anand's car ad Haf's Activa.... as we didn't travel much.... Even didn't had any "Pazhampori" too, this time... :-( :-( )

Naveen..........

Every year,or rather every Sem., I wld tell u hafeez " Da..ee Sem muthal kattaykku padikkanam... Assignments cheyyanam... Ingane avasanathe 2 weeks irunnu chattu kidannu padikkan enikku vayya... :-) ".... Result enthayi ennu njan parayathe thanne aariyamallo... :-) This year too was same... :-) But of course, I had nothing 2 study( apart from the long list of External certifications which I promised my PM tht I wld do, in my Future Tasks in my appraisal :) ). Actually, I was planning to visit many places, which included J&K also... :-) { Aagrahangalkku maranamilla ennanallo...} Munnar, pune, Hyd, Chennai are all some of the places.... Jst managed to visit Pune... :( But it is alrite... I'll visit all these places... Ennengilum njan visit cheyyum... :)

Another plan was to visit Gym regularly... And also, 2 learn Tennis and Squash.... Onnum thanne nadanilla ennu njan pratekichu parayanda karyam illallo.... Gymil idaykku poyirunnu.... Onnu "Warm Up" aavumbolekkum njan niruthiyittu irangum.... Tennis courtil edaykku "chila" aalkar kalikkumbol kurachu neeram nokkum ennalathe avideyum no progress... Squash oru tragedy aanu.... No comments... :) Pinne aakekoodi ulla oru aashvasam, ente koode ee karyangal okke cheyyan ready aayittu veere 3 aalkar koodi undayirunnu... Avar aarum ee karyangal cheyyan thudangiyitilla ennathanu.... :-)

Pinne ivide puthiya project thudangi.... Team nalla team aanu.... Nammude juniors okke ivide ethi.... Work is slowly getting adjusted to... Every week, gng 2 c the two movies...sleeping... and work.... Tht pretty much sums up my every week.....

C Ya all wen I come bck 2 Tvpm.....

Adios

:O

Friends! Do you realize we haven't posted anything in our blog for the past 2 months??? I just did and I decided to end the monotony! Its been a very long time since I posted anything here, so here goes!

Nothing much is happening and over 1.5 years out of college, I really really miss our college days. Every day we had something new to look forward to! From how to write that damn assignment in 2 hours to what we shall kathify during the red hat class. We were carefree and happy. Now its just about how to get that work done and nothing else. The main thing I looked forward was our monthly/bimonthly trip to Pallava, Shankumukham and back home. And now that Anand is gone for 3 months (even more if his course lasts 6 months!) that is also in jeopardy.

Enough rambling about nothing! How about you guys? Who all are coming home this Christmas? Who all will be there for our alumni get together? Me being there for the alumni night is a little iffy right now, though.

Anyways, I miss all of you and love you all! :-)

fun days are back....

Hi frinds,

How r u ??? hope everyone is doing fine..and having a great time

I reached from Chennai on 1st and on 3rd I started to ekm for joining rajagiri.. joined here on 4th. Me and Parvathy in the same hostel and that is very near to our college. We didn’t opt for the coll hostel for the fear of being appointed as resident tutors in case….

Coll has a gud campus and students who are really brilliant.. pakshe very friendly and at times very irritating in class with their fun..here for the s6 placement is going on by Accenture…… many new facilities are here.. student management sys and online meetings with the parents and teachers are there for those parents outside kerala….becoz of that lectures need to update the attendance of their class hours online at the end of tht day so that it is available for parents to view……

In this hostel we have many staffs who work in rajagiri and hence having a gud time… many of them are 2006 pass outs and in addition we have Neethu ma’m and Gisha ma’m with us in the coll

Paru vinte koode nalla rasama evide.. full time engaged… even though we are in separate rooms….

Avaluide kathakali coll ullathinekal kooditte ullu… pakhe ee parvathy miss studentsinte frontil bhayangara serious aanu.. ennalum abhatham kuravonnum alla.. ha ha ha. Evide avale ariyathavarayi aarum illa…

Ragging as such is prohibited but here and there some instances are there.. esp in bus..

Here a separate class of students are there who have joined here as part of the international curriculum.. these students evn thgh less in number is handled by our dear madam – Parvathy miss(ha ha tht is the way she likes herself to be called)…remember the fact that these students have joined here giving more than 20 lacs as their fees.. the course as such is provided by the Australian university for the Indian students.. and the time they have to do the self study they join here and when the time is over they fly bak to the university for their projects… the xams for thm are conducted by the coll itself….

We have the timing from morn 8.30 to eve 4.30 and alternate sat are working days..
On Sundays sometime we go for movies or sometimes we go to our relatives houses over here… many of them in the hostel work for the info park and many are from holy angels… met many of our old frinds here… but the only worse part is the sari….. to wear that for 8 hrs and here it is always raining…… here they are forcing all the lectures to write gate exam and hence we started the preparation for that…. Chumma time pass


What else … hope to see u all soon.. keep In touch
