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!!!

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 :)

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..

Its been exactly six months since the last post was posted in this blog... Seems everybody is busy these days... still very happy that we all (most of us) are in contact with each other atleast thru mails... I hav been travelling a lot these days across various cities...
the first reply that anybody gives when they hear abt this project "wow! thats awesome". but lemme tell u.. its not that great... but still recession aayathu kondu vere onnum cheyyan vayya.. kittiyathu kondu sandoshamayittu irikkanam... :-)
During the last 3 months, I have been to kolkata, bangalore(twice) and jamshedpur...
Nibine ee adutha kaalathonnum kaanan pattum ennu vicharichathalla.. angane irikkubozhanu kolkata trip vannathu...
that was my first assignment in this new project... was there in kolkata for almost a week... to tell u the truth, the city did not look like a metro at all... looked like a city that was abandoned by the British.. u can hardly find a new building..
I reached there on 19th of march... it took me almost 2 hrs to reach from airport to office... ariyavunna muri hindi vechu taxikkaranu area okke paranju koduthu.... aadya divasam thanne officil kurachu prashnam undayirunnu... guess what? there was a mallu in that office... swantham naattukarane kandal paara pani vidathillallo... 2nd day thottu angeru company aayi...
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..
that was one awesome day during my stay at kolkata.. left the city on 25th morning.. nibin dropped me at the airport... aliyaa nibine... ini athu vazhi vannal, howrah bridge kandittu thanne karyam... more travel posts coming soon... miss u all...

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

Hi Friends,

I thought this blog is also one of the outcomes of our friendship and so i am putting my wedding invitation in our blog also..... with the details okie....I think our gang shud use this space for life's important happenings.. sheriyalle guys????
And for those who asked me the details .......
My hubby's name is Pratheesh. He has done his M.Sc Chemistry and is working as R&D Chemist in Binani Zinc, Aluva and doing his Part time P.hd in Environmental Chemistry from Cochin University...
He has one elder brother (Pradeep) and his wife(Divya) and their kid (Devika). Then our family consists of his parents.. His father retired from FACT and mother is a house wife.. Brother is working in Nice Chemicals, Edapally and Sis-in-law after M.Com studying for B.Ed....So home sweet home.. it is in Eloor and part of Thripunithura.... So for me itz a 15 minutes journey to College and college bus route is also ter.... So i am now becoming a part of pyara pyara Cochin town.....

Testing

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!!

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
Nibin

Hi Friends,
I wanted to publish this on 31st pakshe patiyilla.... hmm so here it comes !!!!!

It is the last day of 2007 and so was just thinking abt the days went by… hmmm not bad…
After a long time I am with my parents here at my home for a new year…..

2007 beginning I had many plans and I am happy that I was able to fulfill them even though not to 100%. The most important among it was moving out of Chennai and my job... and as I wanted I got in Cochin... I never wanted it to be in tvm and there is no particular reason to it….and... I am enjoying the days after that... I still feel tensed when I remember those days which were hectic and those calls and projects which were made with the team of Mexico and Canada…….and above all I am happy that at the end they realized and now I got a present from Amex (hmmm a fast track watch)... and that to last week…..

and above all this year I had so many proposals….. and was really going mad with all my relatives enquiring all the while abt the same to my parents… I just wonder who found this mad custom of marriage non sense……. Ippol ente veetukar egathesham oru 200 and above proposals nokki kanum enniku vendi.. and all the combinations have happned.. chilapol eniku istamakum, illenkil avarkku ishtamakilla… randu perkum ishtamayal jatakam cherilaa angane many many….ha ha ha..hope this year turns out gud tht way….

Pinne ee varsham sambhavabahulam ayirunathu njan tour poyathanu and tht too with final year students. Was a really gud experience….this sem I need to teach the same class Biometrics… god help me………….

Pinne was the one day seminar at Infosys for the faculty of 9 Engg colleges in Kerala for the Campus Connect Program… was a really gud one… aa seminar hallil njan keyari chennapol ellam senior prof…. njan njetti poyi.. appolundu dey ente id cardil written as Ms Divya. Professor, RASET ennu.. njan thalathalli chirichupoyi…. Entamme joke of the year.. pinne njanum bhaki 11 professorsum koode aa seminar angu adichupolichu……

Pinne the gud ting was the alumni.. pazhaya frindsine okkke kandapol santhoshamayi… njanum kiranum maniyum koode nishakuttide kuttiye kanan poyirunnu athinum munbu…. Kiran chandrunodu sorry chotichapol njangalkku okke santhoshamayi… eventhough that idiot told he will not give sorry….. Nammude class alenkilum kidilum alle….

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..........

Another year... Another set of plans which was designed, planned but never went to delivery or even implementation stage. :( Ofcourse this is not anything new... 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

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! :-)

Hello all i am posting this as per Nisha's request

1.Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it.

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
