Wedding and Varkala

Okeys...me complying with Hafeez's request and write about Anju maam's wedding and our trip to Varkala...

It was only the day before that I decided to go to wedding...we met in the afternoon at Technopark- Nibin, Sree, Anand, Sulu, Nisha and Me...Nisha had come to call some people for wedding...we had some good times with Nibin giving Nisha some sound 'advice' on family planning... :P

In the night, rather midnight, Jackie called me and said he is also coming. Then a big confusion about who in which car and we decided to leave the matter for the morning. Dinkan called me in the morning and said he is also coming.

The lovebirds came and picked me up rather late and the three of us started off.
The road was pretty damn cool and it was a very nice drive.

As we reached the hall we saw Sreenath outside with his phone...the other (mid) night too he was in call waiting for most of the time... ;-) How times change!!!

Name of the groom was written as 'Bobbin' in a board kept in front. (its Robin by the way!)

Was taken aback as we got in the hall...filled with teachers! we found others waiting in the hall- Sulu, Anand, Manee and Prabodh... Our junior batch was also there...Jayaram, Sabarish and the rest of their batch...

Dinkan came then...his brother dropped him...

Gireesh sir is going to BITS Goa (i met him at Technopark...said he is leaving on 1st...now he is doing something in IIIT-MK...plans to go to some foreign university after the BITS stint)

Then the star...our Princi came with a gift (it was written on the letter about no gifts I think...)

Hubby of Anju Maam looked pretty short to us...But I think they are the same level...just about... :-D

The marriage had some odd ceremonies...have'nt seen that type before...after the marriage it was kathi time for us...with teachers and Princi!

Princi told me to tell Rajav that it is not nice to jump jobs...hey rajavee if you are reading...Princi said so! :-P

It was pretty damn good...Danya dragged along her photos with Narayanamurthy along with her :P...hey girl...frame chaiythu nammukkathine Karakulam junctionil vekkam! atho Karamanayo? :P

Then, we went to Varkala beach...went means, it was rough journey...lots of blocks...lots!
Prabodh needed to sent a mail and fax to Anil Ambani...very busy man you know!

Finally, we stopped at Kallambalam and Prabodh and Anand went to sent the fax...some more time, idled away with we guys "freshening" up.

Then, on again...this time Anand lost his way and we had to stop again to get them back on track. (Me, Dinkan and Prabodh in Jackie's car, the rest in Sree's)

Varkala took our breath away...literally and figuratively!

Beautiful water and beautiful madammas in tiny bikinis! :D...and the trek down to the beach!

The water is amazing people!
So clear! I think I should have come here atleast once before...
The depth is also not so much...infact...at places it actually goes up from the shore...All of us entered the water...dragged the girls with us...didnt soak anybody...the sea did it for us!

Casuality: Anand's Mobile...its officially dead after the Varkala trip!

And...the babes... sighhhh :-D

Finally, we started off again...with some of us being thirsty and others wanting to let go off some :P

Decided to get some drinks from somewhere outside...reached some place and had Sharja...then Jackie's Father called him and was kalips...he was to return the car at 2 and it was now 2:30 and he was atleast and hour away from home!

So we decided to skip Sulu's home...all of us said good bye in front of her home and back home after an hour...

back to the same old m-o-n-o-t-o-n-o-u-s life...

A great day!

P.S: Pattu and Thampi landed yesterday...went to see Notebook (Nibin had highly recommended it)...I liked it...Pattu hated it...others were so-so...so take it for what's worth...

Good Times...

Friends...

Its been two years since our South India Tour!
Can you believe that?
Seems like yesterday that we ran around for a bus...hiding in my house, waiting for the damn bus to come...getting in and me and Panackal admiring the beautiful speakers...

Then, mixing the drinks and getting high on the road (well...not too much! You girls didnt notice! :P)

Hoggainakkal boating...eating the freshly caught fish fried to our content and ethapazham for lunch (atleast we did!)

On to Banglore...were we blew all our money (atleast I did!)...

Went to IBM...ate some good pizza and coke! (anyone remember anything else?)

Fooling around at Forum...were you girls helped us spot the chicks!

And a special night at Bangalore...Haf, Jackie, Dinku and Me...on the roads, talking a lot...never forget in my life...(especially Haf having his first Marlboro...lights...:P)

Another night at Bangalore...a very drunk me and Jackie locked out of our room by Pappu and HK...will never forget the sight we saw as we forced the security to open the door using a spare key...
Thought HK had killed Pappu and killed himself!
He was sitting on the chair with eyes closed with a dead look...and Pappu in a very artificial position on the bed...

A day in Bangalore...a hot afternoon...Nibin, jackie and me... having wine from a wine shop to appetise and eating some good banana (that was good!) and some silk cut to boot.

Pappu still lives...so that was not true...but HK? any idea about him?

Then a hot, hot day in Mysore...Tipu's palace...my childhood idol...
Me and Jackie eating from a very disgusting shop...no money left... :-(

On to Ooty...the wonderful karakkams...a shot of smirnoff (made me a fan!) then the party...champagne...
Renju being a total asshole...finishing off the booze and sleeping off...

Flowers all around the next day...everywhere!

Kozhi going total vaal...thanks to Hafeez's prescription for toothache! :P

The journey back...

Coimbatore stop...

The Paampu scare at Pattikaadu....getting off all the finished drinking water bottles and the yellow withering flowers from the bus...

A heck of a trip...changed the life of some ;-) fun and memories for others... :-)

No one had a better trip...or better friends...
Glad to have you all in my life... :-)

P.S: lets not forget the tsunami victims...lets pray that no more disaster strikes us...may life be as beautiful as ever...

HI...., guys Pappu is here

Hi everyone,
I've just visited our blog. Wat 2 say?? Workload has just started. But i thinks its absolutely rocking to work in my team. All are friendly. For everything there is full support from my team members whether it professional or personal. Only difference from campus are there is no sleeping classes. And we have to work a lot to earn money. And for ur information, i'm landing on 22nd Decemeber. I think pattu is the person who keeps this blog alive and himself the creator of the blog. Here me and kiru are well. Kirus work is to fire bad words at his PL. He does that almost everyday, he comes back. And onething, "njangal neat aaayi ketooo. Ini cheeethayavum vare". Hope u r enjoying. And my congrats to Anand for getting the job and his laptop. Roller for his nw job. And for SULU, for her new ALTO.

Ur loving
Pappu

Only one way to go.......

"There is only one way to go from here...."

This is wht Dravid told after yesterdays match!!! Jesus Christ!!! How can he say things like these without any shame!!! The WORST captian I have ever seen!! Atleast Sachin,when he was captian,admitted his mistakes(The WI tour was an exception though...) But this is nothing like that. Now,We boast ourselves of the gr8 players like Dhoni(After gilchrist,its Dhoni... ), Raina, Pathan, Kaif,Dinesh,Munaf etc.etc.... So,wht the Hell is going on there,In Indian Camp???

I have made an earlier post in which I said tht I would love to see the earlier Sourav in Team...Now,I am repeating that...I just want to see Sourav and VVS, I dont care if they are in form or not. Who cares about all these stuff?? It is not as if the present Indian Team is full of In-Form Players!!! Through out the Net,the dravid and Sourav fans are fighting...So,I thought maybe I can also Join them.....


But whom to support??? Sourav?? The Most succesful Indian Captain?? Or Dravid?? The person who was single handedly responsible for most of sourav's wins?? Hmmmmm......this is a tough decision.... So,I thought that first,I would go through all what the cricket fans have 2 say... It is easy 2 find...Go to ibnlive.com..there ,u can find a lot of clashes between the dravid and sourav fans.... These are some of the interesting things that they have 2 say....

Sourav Fan Club :-

1). As I mentioned earlier, He is the most succesful captian.
2).After the 83 team,he led India to a WC final.
3).Wins in England,Australia and Pakistan. Actually,he is the only captian who won both test and one day series in Pak soil.
4).Pathan,Yuvi,Kaif,veeru are all his choices... Actually,even Dravid was in team because of sourav...
5).Aggresiveness... He is really aggresive on and off the field.(Remember the Salman Khan type show off in Lords???)
6).The inventer of a 7-4 team with Dravid asked to don Keeper's role also...


So, these r wht the Dada Army is saying... How much truth is there in it....Hmmmm...Actually,wht they are saying is 100% true,only if it is taken literally.... He is the most succesful captian,thanks to guys like Dravid ,VVS and Laxman.. Apart from some very little good knocks,Sourav had little role to play. He led the team to play in WC final,I agree....But I guess sachin was the one responsible. He was simply superb in WC. Then veeru too played his part... Sourav???Hmmmm....I dont think so...

The wins in Australia is Only because of Dravid+VVS+Agarkar( In Adelade) and sachin+VVS( In sidney).... Pakisthan...Again Dravid.. England....Dravid+sachin+Sourav... I had to admit he played well there...I still remember who well he played in Tentbridge along with sachin....He was superb.....

His aggresion....the Best part of Sourav... He is Damn Aggresive...and for that,I just like him..... He is not the one who keeps quiet.... The bad boy of Indian Cricket,thts wht they called him... But it is the same people who call Aussies as gentleman... And he brought these superb players...Thts true man...But u brought a lot of Good 4 Nothin players also.... Can't remember...Let me help.... Parthiv Patel,Ratinder Singh Sodi,deep das gupta and many many more players.... Its just that the above mentioned players clicked... So,I guess that he was just lucky...(I feel yuvi is the only exception...)


So much for Dada Army......Now lets C wht Dravid has 2 say(I mean,his fans...)

1).Dravid is responsible for most of India's win overseas...
2).Dhoni,raina,Munaf(??),Sreesant(????????????????) etc.etc.came 2 his team...(Yeah,right came..And ready 2 leave also.....)
3).A captian must b cool...Dravid is cool....
4).Most dependable player...And never had any real phase where he was out-of-form...
5).Just because of some defeats,you cant write him down...He needs Time ......


Point No. 1...Accepted...Accepted without any complains... Dhoni...OK....But same case with dada...2 many ppl came and he just clicked... Actually,Inida needed a Wicket Keeper batsman,and Dhoni was the best.. But i still prefer Dineesh Karthik as he is more better keeper than Dhoni...(But dhoni is improving..I must say...) Dravid is Cool....I agree...but he is too cool,I must say..He is never aggresive..

So,After all these points it is my time to stand with some1...Hmmmm...Let me c..... Here is it...I stand with the






"Indian Cricket Team...."




These r just players and Cricket is a game that is much larger than any individuals... So,what is the peoblem with the current Indian team,u ask heh???

1). No one is taking responsibilities for anything. The senior guys,Dravid and Sachin should take responsibilities if the batting fails... They are the senior guys and must be able to inspire the entire team!!! Bowling,I must confess that there is no one responsible enough...
And Yuvi and kaif should now b considered as seniors...Kaif has played 122 matches.... That is enough experiance mate...Now,perform or else perish....

2). Ban (Yes Ban) players from appearing in ads...They are cricketers...First play,perform well...Ads and other stuff wld b there till u retire.... And,they r earning enough money by playing...

3). Reduce the pay...Infact,I would say that give them half of what they r getting now...And Increase it as they improve playing...For example a bonus 4 a century and other good performances...

4). BCCI is THE richest body...Spend some money for under 19 and under 16 players...Arrange a lot of Overseas matches 4 them...And also for the Ranji trophy teams and India A and B teams... Give them enough match practice...

5). When the national players are free,ask them to play in ranji or other domestic matches.. This will b a good chance 4 every1 to learn...


These are the things that I feel must b done to improve upon the teams performance... Lets c what happens...But With such a performance,I dont think that V can lift WC. If v lift it,it might b because of some Individual brilliance..And also,I forgot to mention,Sack that Idiot Greg Chappel...His experiments have failed big time... Mate,Nothing personal ,mind u,but V dont need u..Get the Hell out of Here...!!!!!

Reminisce...

We went to Nisha's bros engagement today...Anand, Hafeez, Sulu, Thakkudu and myself...chechis home is at Aranmula.
Me and Anand reached there at 7:20 and Haf and Taks a bit later.
The bus had lot of seats vacant. Nisha was counting on 10 of us coming! Sulu was picked up on the way at her Thonnackal Panchayath...

The bus ride was not very good. Rickety ride...and I was damn hungry after some time! They played Manasinakkare movie and semi watched it while gazing outside...
We did chat a bit towards the latter half of the journey and saw a vazhi thadayal samaram.
Nisha's Machan was calling every 5 minutes or so!
God bless that person who bought two big bags of lays and saved me from certain death due to starvation! By the time lays was finished we reached the prospective brides home...
Then the ceremony took place. After that a sadya was there.

After sadya four of us guys scooted of for a walk. The place is a total pattikaadu. Not even a pettikada in sight!
Atlast we went and sat in a desolate but clean bus waiting shed.
We sat there thinking about the good times we had over the years...laughing at our old antics...we shared a lot of light moments there...
We sat there for a long time...and returned to the house to find Sadya still going on...we returned back to our dear waiting shed...telling Sulu to call us when they were ready to leave...

After some time she called and we went there to have a photo session...that panna kaakka tickled me and God knows how horrible our photo is...
I was giggling, Anand was giggling in a bemused manner and Hafeez was also giggling...seeing this almost everybody was giggling...would make a really fabulous piece of art...unless the photographer was also giggling :P

It was a sleepy mood on the way back...we talked about our college...the rain started lashing out fairly hard and the water came inside the bus also...reminded us of our Parakkum Thalika bus in Goa...

The song from Classmates was playing in the background...
"...Ini illithu pole sukhamariyunnoru kaalam..."
How true...

No matter where we end up in life...No matter how good or bad we do at lives...Never will this carefree life return...

Adios...

hi frinds..i am back

hi frinds...

HAPPY DIWALI TO MY FRINDS AND FAMILY....

after a long time i am back to scribble something tht happ quite a few days b4...

My parents were here for juz 1 day and whn dey left i was very sad and once again i was all alone here in this big city....eventhgh my cuz is here itz a little far frm d twn....
Last sat on Oct 1st it was our AMEX party at Fishermen cove- a Taj beach resort quite some 45 minutes from the main town...

They provided as with innova to reach te spot.. we 6 were there in it and all together 10 for the party.. I was a little excited as i was about to meet MARK CONCOR - ceo of our company.. As we were new joinees, we were supposed to have a one to one with him there.. Anyz it was quite gud more than i expected.. He is really a hardworker and when at leisure he is really amazing... He juz asked me some questions like how am i feeling this new atmospere...like wise it went on well.....

After tht it was the boozing...i stud there like staring at wht is happening in the corner.. suddenly someone called me when i turned back it was my cuz.. i was happy to c tht i was not alone there....i tuk some soft drinks...and as rajavu was also with me i felt quite relaxed... he was asked to start with beer to which he agreed and it was fun.....

After 7.30 we went to the beach... After some 30 min we came back to have the dinner...I was really sad bcoz there were oly 3 veg dishes and i was supposed to eat oly veg tht sat.... after coming to chennai i am becoming a vegterian u knw... ha ha ha................
and after the dinner at 10.30 we again went to beach....we played a lot.... and it went on till 12 in the nite....As the next day was sunday i really njoyed as i cud get back to the hostel and sleep as much as i want .......................

The talk with mark was superb....He is really frindly and he juz commented on my smile.........i was really schoked as he said " this female has a very gud smile and it makes her more pretty.."then he said "i don't know wht u guys mean like pretty here...". God know wht he meant like tht....

Last saturday sree joined me for 2 days and it was a gud time to roam around with him in spencers.. The whole story is there in his blog "putitinyellow". i njoyed a lot after a long time in chennai......CREA was also gud....It is the employee recreation club in AMEX.

I was wondering wht to do at Diwali..here streets were crowded wit people purchasing 4 diwali and 2 go out 4 a walk was undoutdly not possible.... no one was there..my frind at amex "dev" also left to his hometown 4 diwali.. he is a gud frind of mine and i feel a bit out of my tension in office bcoz of him.... and i didn't get ticket to kerala also.. my roommates were also planning to move to their places for the holidays.. i juz called my cuz in b'lore(my all time well wisher).. He buked the ticket for me 2 b'lore..and my diwali holidays tuk shape.....4 diwali i was at my cuz's place... His flat the dream flat 4 me as usual is a warm place 4 me 2 reach at any time........Here his son- atul is very much afraid of crackers and so we dropped the plan of wasting money on tht....

I njoyed the diwali from his balcony.... it was really gr8 and beautiful to watch the fireworks and sparklers from the 8th floor balcony....it was chill in b'lore and i borrowed my cuz's jacket to njoy it in full...Wit a cup of coffee in my hand nd sipping it in the cold atmos increased the beauty of it a lot more.....It went on till some 12 in the nite.. and i was feeling very sleepy as i reached his place only early in the morning... i got a gud sleep and tommorow i need 2 reach my office by 2..my train is at 6 in d morning...and tht is all my past few days news.....

Working Class!

My training got over on Wednesday...Came through with flying colours!
Got a prize for one of the best Trainee! :D

So I joined for work on Thursday. Went there with a lot of hopes and dreams (and fear of being expelled...)
Our TL cum Manager turned out to a little chori that day...on top of it we didnt get our slots (cabin) and had to spend the whole day struggling to keep awake...
Me and a friend got access to one system and the only times I was not counting seconds was when I chatted with some friends and visited them at the main module (I am stationed in 4th Floor and all my fellow trainees barring 3 are either in 3rd Floor or in Kuravankonam office)
Lunch is pretty good here...not so expensive as I had imagined. I have blown of most of my salary almost entirely and all I have left is 800 bucks worth of food coupon...

Today got my slot, next to my TL :P and got a phone too. Today also no work...but got some style guides to learn and spent time learning the product and the styleguides.
Most of my friends got some work or the other with their TL around, so not much chatting also...
This system has got old version of office and no LCD monitor :-(
Has to tel admin to get me the latest Office version...but monitor will stay the same!
Today the TL was in a much better mood...but there is lot of pending stuff to be done and still no work!
Work allocation involves lot of stuff to be done and I hope we get some next week. I am planning to do some extra work if the case is the same next week...

Just know I saw my results...cleared s5 and s6...now next week have to go with it to company. Lets see if they decide to terminate or continue with me...Pray for me people!

Unofficial Reunion


This happened two-three days back...
Don't remember the date...

Hafeez annu uchakku called me tell about his selection to ARS...so he will have a better idea about the date...too lazy to consult the calendar...

Annu vaikittu officil ninnu ethi system on chaiythappol system on aayilla!
Kure adhikam panikku shesham mansilaayi hard disk adichu poyathaanennu...

Angane oombi thirinja kambithiriyaayi njan Harisinte veetilekku thirichu...pona vazhiyil I called Hafeez as I couldn't talk much when he called...
Then he told that he was with Vineeth and Thakkudu and they were going to Museum. CP Ratheesh, Yogi and Nibin were there waiting. He told me to call Anand and come there.
Anand was free and so we started...

Avide ethiyappo vann charcha...evideyo entho undennum illennam...It was nice to see everybody...pinne Hafeez demonstrated how Thakkudu was slapped and appo thanne Thakkudu thirichum demonstrate chaiythu kaanichu...Aalochikaamello enthaanu sambhavichethennu...

Thakkudu was telling something about a fair going on in Poojappura Maithaanam...but vere aarum athine patti onnum kettilla...avasaanam oru idiyude insurancil we decide to go there...
chennappo there was indeed a fair going on...with giant wheels and all...

Prabodhine vilichappo he told he will join us...

Most of the guys were excited with the prospect of getting into the giant wheel...
Only two sane men among them- Me and Thakkudu :D
Njangal randu perum budhiparamaayi thaazhe ninnu...moonnu, naalu cabin layittu ellarum kayari...
appo Parambil joined us...he was here all through the evening...
Avanmar Giant wheelil kidannu nilavilikunathum rasichu njanum, thakkudum, ratheeshum wait chaiyumbo Prabodh vannu (Ratheesh had gone to make a phone call)...

The giant wheel looked a little rickety...oru pazhaya asthikoodam pole...
Then I saw the most amazing thing...
Oruthan karangunna giant wheelil kayaraan thudangi!

The spiderman returns!!!

Hii all... this was a wonderful event that happened just the day before.. as i told u, the girs stay right above our apartment.. they are on the third floor and we on the second.. there is only one key for each apartment and the door is auto lock.. last day evening we all were relaxing at the terrace.. suddenly it happened..
the girls realized that they hav forgot to take the keys from their house..
we tried to contact the manager of the flats.. pakshe no use.. then we went to the company to check if spare keys are available..
athum nadanilla.. then we came to know that this is a common thing in all the flats and theres a usual man called raghu who is called for help.. we waited till 10 at night and came to know that he is not available..
so finally we had to do something..
so we arranged a ladder.. the one used by painters made with rope and kazhukole.. and i climbed down from the terrace and got the keys. thank God they had kept the balcony door open..
angane njan jeevithathil athum nadathi.. :-) bhagyam thazhe pokathirunnathu.. :-D

Panackal from chennai!!!

Hii frnds.. sorry couldnt stay in touch for sometime.. My new number was supposed to get activated by the 1st of this month.. but it didnt happen due to some prob with airtel.. my new no is 09940052446..

HIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!! From Huawei

Hi friendz,
I'm having nice time hre. The bangalore city is great. The problem is with my condition having a little cold, cough n fever. The thing about our batch is although all huawei is colourful, the batch is not very colourful.
Just joined in IN(Intelligent Network). Hope it matches my tastes. I'm trying to be in contact with most of my friends till now, but if i had missed anyone please inform me. Kiru n me got our first salary but my debit card got stuck in an ATM counter. So i'm a little 'Paaapar" now. Tomorrow we have a HARTHAL here. Its a bigger event here than in KERALA. But the number of HARHALs here is very low compared to there.
Although i like this city very much, i'm missing my mother's food very much. I'm missing my home very much. One thing i've to tell is that, the story the naru($#$^*****?) is writing in his blog is an exagerated n imaginary story

Yours lovingly
Pappu

hi all

hi all..
so after a long break i hope i can write something on our dear blog.
everything going fine as usual.. life getting a better meaning and shape..
All dayz like partying.. even with workload itz not tht felt with the gang around...

If bored spencers is the ultimate destination to b to relax...
Panackal is here which is a gr8 news for me....

Our CEO Mr.Mark is here for his south zone visit and the week end is going to b a "booze" party from him.... Itz plnned in a far away resort and hence arranged it as a long trip.....

Reporting from Infy Mysore...

"To err is Human, To Forgive is Not Company Policy"

This Message,I received some days ago,along with many many forwarded messages tht every Infosisian receives every day.... A nice and funny message,but the real meaning,I came to know only yesterday(means thursday).... The reason is simple...My room mate was fired from Infosys as he didnot meet the required selection criteria.... It is in 12th,not in BTech.... He said tht he didnt know tht the cutoff was 65%(he had only 60.5).... It was a sad moment.. I mean,only a day ago,did v celebrate My B'Day party(Not much yaar... only a small party).. He was all laughing @ tht time,and I didnt had a clue abt all the things tht was supposed 2 happen.. But he knew tht within 48hrs,he has 2 resign from Infy.. Tht is the cruel Irony about this whole Incident. He didnt say anything 2 me @ tht time.. Then,on thursday,he send me a mail saying all these things... He was in Tina's class,and she was telling tht he was one of the smart and helping guys ter.. Wen I went back 2 room,he was there.. I couldnt find words 2 say 2 him... Then,on friday,he left Infy,2 B'Lore,again,2 start the job hunt!! I hope tht Both Luck and God be with him... Byee mate... Hope 2 c u again,somewhere,someplace!

p.s.:-My new room mate is a guy frm Kottayam... A calm guy...Valiya samsaram onnum illa..
And,Yogi came here on saturday,and I wonder y he was here!! Hmmm... Mayb 2 c some1(???) I didnt c him..jackie told me tht thing.. Mandi and gang is here.. Heard she scored 48/50 in C#.. Ivalokke enthinanontho padikkunathu!!! Got Bonney's mail 2day.... I am posting the letter here...

A Day of Pranks.....( ;-)

Well,I actually wanted 2 write about the Great Fire Drill that v had yesterday.. But Dhanya wrote about it yesterday.. So,I am writting abt. another incident that happened a couple of days ago!! None including Anu knew abt. this incident,as none were around.. It occured in FC2.... i.e Food Court 2... There was me,aby,kc,mansu,teena,santhi and another girl called manjusha(Mansu's classmate)... V all were seated there,and having dinner,when kc announced this...

kc:- eda aby,nammal innu ravile kanda karyam ippol parayatta??
aby:- eethu karyam??
kc:- innu ravile nammal orale kandu...evide kandu?? Gym-il!! Veere aarum alla,nammude shanti!!
shanti:- eda,ningal enganne aarinju aathu??
kc:-aathu mathram alla,nammal ninte video iduthitundu... ramuvinte digicamil!!! ;-)
shanti:- eda,kashtam undu...aathu delete cheyyanam
aby:- nangal aathu Mcetil ulla ellavarkkum fwd chayyum...

After tht,shanti was mood off,and didnt speak 2 us... She went and ordered a Pizza(yeah,thts right).... and sat at another table... after the meals,she just went out and just said a formal Byee 2 all of us...Meanwhile,v were organising a master plan.... In between,Tina and manjusha also became victims of our gang!!!

The plan was simple....

One of us is gng 2 call her room and talk 2 her as a person frm HR,or some one Important... And accuse her of Mis-Using ECC(Employee Care Center) facilities... Naturally,I was the choosen one,for various reasons which include previous examples!!! So,V went 2 a PCO,and the following conversation occured... The reason for this prank was simple enough... Yeah,there is a reason...V r not cold blooded people.... KC was a little hurt by that incident...so,v planned ths one..

So,I dialed her room No...She picked up the phone

Me:- Hullu,is this room of Ms. Shanti shasi-dharan Naai..r?? (As if I had trouble pronouncing these south indian words...Actually,many ppl here have trouble...)

She:-yes,speaking...

Me:- Ma'm,I am frm ECC..V have received an information tht u were misusing Gym facilities!! This is serious and action may b taken against u..blah..blah..and some kalip blah..blah!!!

She:- No...I didnt...other blah...blah...I have taken pass,I am a member of ECC...blah..blah..

Me:- OK...do u have pass??(She was almost into tears...I can understand it frm her words..SO,I decided 2 end this prank quickly!!!)

She:- Yes Sir(Oh yeah,Sir...she called me Sir.... I fall for tht word.... OH....Gives me "Romanjam" hehe ....Jocking... Others were standing outside...Mansu was laughing like hell...KC was sitting on lawn and laughing...aby was lying on lawn..)

Me:- OK...then go to facilities room,and get a photocopy of ur pass,and Submit it....

She:-OK sir,I will do it...2 whom shld I submit??

Me:- Submit it 2......

she:- 2 whom??

Me:- 2.....Mr.Krishna Chandran....

Then,I heard her slamming the Phone... I hope it is not broken.....
Every1 was laughing out here....Then KC called 2 her cell,and peace was declared!!!!
But it was damn fun tht night.....

And,in between,I learned 2 play pool,and billiards,and also tried my luck in bowling....hehe..
Now,only tennis and Gym remains!!! But I dont think tht I will get time!! This weekend,there is no cinema in multiplex... So,getting bored,eventhough I have assignments 2 complete.. And,I got the permenent ID card frm Infy....Damn...I make this Luk good!!! And Then there was this stupid fire drill yesterday... The security ppl was very serious... they were running around...V were walking slowly...some girls took the umbrella,others took their coffee mugs,2 grab some coffee... some others were waiting 4 their PC's 2 get shut down...I just locked my PC and was walking along... I heard tht in some classes,girls started screaming and were running... In Aby's class,the guard came into class and spoke something in Kannada...No 1 understood even a single word.... A girl who understood,jumped from their seat,and ran out of the class,screaming "Bomb...Bomb"..Then every1 else too jumped and started running... The situation was almost similar in other classes..In our class,the guard just came in and said every1 2 go to football court...He didnt mention anything...So,V didnt knew wht was gng on until v reached football court!!! One thing is 4 sure,If any real thing happen,most of us wld b dead!!!!

Anyways,thts it 4 2day guys....I hope Naru is having a wonderful life @ suntec....

Induction of a Suntecian...

An year back...leave alone...three months back...if someone said I would up end up in Suntec, I would have been laughing my ass of!
Not that I am in it completely...signed the papers (Even a stamp paper! My first ever!) and got my appointment letter...
Vallathil oru kaal chavitti...avarenne full aayittu pidichu akathu idumo atho vellathil thalli idumonnu kandariyaam!

These three days were the induction programme...to be frank I expected boring lectures...but got some precious insight into the company and any good product company in general.
First day was intermittent discussions with mega breaks for tea, lunch etc...
AC conference hallil irunnu thanuthu boradichu...none of us could get the AC controls right...Pinne spent times kathiyadi and playing with the swivel chair! Nalla rasamaanu aadan! :P

14 of us joined that day. 3 of us for technical writing, 10 as software engineers and 1 lady as HR. One of the software guy was rejoining and was somehow made to sit with us in the first day. He wasn't there the second day, so 13 of us...reminds of the last supper...will I be the Christ? :P
8 girls and 5 guys. One of the guy was in our class in MCET before the first reallotment. His name in Krishnakumar.
This batch is kinda unique that all are Malayalees...almost all others had north indians in them.

And speaking of which...there are a lot of Northies here...and our COO is British. He was on leave this week, so we didn't get to meet him. Saw the induction sheet of an earlier batch and in that he was mentioned for a session.
Sessions were very good...but some made me sleepy mainly because its ages since I sat in a class...5 minutes into Quality Assurance session and I got a fine grasp of CMMI. Earlier had mugged up and thought it in a different manner.
Most of the session takers (if not all) are the top people here. Some sessions where terrific like consulting, marketing, implementation (the second implementation session was very hot! :D ;) )

Today and the first day was at Kuravankonam and yesterday was at Technopark. We are at Nila. (Sulu, we are neighbours!) Now on its three weeks product training at the new Knowledge Center in Vazhuthacaud. We are the first batch in that facility. This will be over by October 6th. After that our posting will be at Technopark.
Training is very interesting. No classroom sessions. Training will be same for all of us, tech writers and software dudes. A complete study of the various products. Then on it will be hands on training for all of us. Seems to be much better than the boring and pretty useless classroom sessions.

Software guys would absolutely rock here. They get to work on some great stuff and never have to sit in a bench.

Food is pretty good at the Kuravankonam canteen. The veg pulao on day one sucked. But today's food was great. A little expensive though. But we dont get to eat here anymore :(
A security from my school is working here now. He is a pretty cool guy. Not sulky like other security people.

Now on its a hectic time for me. Suntec pretty stringent about Internet usage from office. Will get a better idea only after we join. It seems my nocturnal life would never really end! :D

Rock on people! God bless everybody!

Life goes on,and on,and on.............

There is a familiar feeling now a days... the DBMS came and went,and now,I am into Oracle!! The Big Daddy of all DBMS's.....people spent their entire life trying 2 learn these things!! V,complete it within 1 week!!!(4 days 4 RDBMS,and 4 days 2 Oracle) ...Simple enough!!! Why waste so much of time on these things!! Classes r gng as usual...He is teaching,v r sleeping!!! Yeah,V r really sleeping. Almost every1,except some unfortunate ppl sitting in front!!! Suddenly,I feel lik MCET... Ppl in back ,including me,have got a nice screen of monitor which is used as a shield 2 hide us!!! Lots of funny comments passed by every1,every now and then!!! 2day,the oracle server was down...so,nothing 2 do 2day!!!hehe.... Onam came and went just lik another day!!! No celebrations as 90% of ppl here had tests either tht day or the next day!!! Now,i think tht ter is gng 2 b onam celebrations next week!!! I have taken many photos but cant upload it as u need admin access 2 connect an external drive!!! Yesterday was santhi's B'Day!!! Had a small party!! Nothing big,as the long cycle waalas got the first real taste of C Programming!!! I really feel pity 2 them!! in 1 day,they have reached till structures,and completed all file operations!!!

The D'loding has started here...i Dloded KANK....just get a satisfaction 4 not wasting 50Rs in tht stupid movie.... The CS (Counter Strike) and UT and Q3 ppl 2 r enjoying!!!LAN gaming has started at full spree...

OH...Just back from scanning all the documents!!!Yeah,v have 2 scan all documents and upload it to Infy server!!!(So tht all can c our marks!!!)....The stupid scanner was not even working properly!!V had 2 re scan it all !!!! So,I am a bit tired,and a lot of angry,after this stupid procedure!!!!

So,how was Onam 4 every1 else??PPL back home??? Any celebrations?? And wht abt ganu?? Had fun?? Here,it was as usual!!Well,me gng then!!!Back 2 my room!!! After the scanning procedures,feeling a bit sleepy(Like I was not feeling sleepy wen classes were not gng on!!!) .

So,wht 2 write more??? Hmmmm....will write as regurarly as possible!! I called kiru yesterday...said he is having fun!!! Now,he has got temp. accomodation frm Huawei...after 15 days or so,he need 2 find accomodation on his own!!! So,here r the news frm Infy....Do post wht is happening 2 u!!! And ppl back home,any1 saw Munnabhai 2??? How is it?? I heard it is a "Must Watch"!!! Even tht guy frm CNN-IBN gave it 4/5!!!! I have never saw him giving a rating lik this!! Planning 2 c it!!!

Kill me...I cannot self terminate!!!

Wht began as a gr8 day turned 2 b a disaster by afternoon....2day,i had my first test after comming to Infy...well,i had written a test on second day...but it was insignificant... didnt matter much here... 2day's test was based on wht all v learned 4 last 3 days of Infy...it included wht all v learned 4 last 3 years in college...entire C and SDLC!!! The C thing is tough...asking lots of basic and tough questions... But 2day,i cleared the test....with flying colors 2....86%... Got my first A grade!! So,was a little happy in morning...But after tht....disaster struck!!!RDBMS...

The next class was RDBMS.... The thing which I hated the most during college(Well,i hated atleast 2-4 subjects every sem...so,it dosent matter much...)Still,learning this is hard...and tht 2,learning entire RDBMS in just 4 days!!! Hmmmm... things r getting tough now a days!! The staff was Good...But I guess I am not concerned abt the staff now a days!!! As usual,entire afternoon class I dozed off... was struggling even 2 stay awake...the staff saw it,i guess...was smiling at me sometimes!!! hmmm...they might have seen these incidents too often,or,might have had first hand experiances also!!! She taught some ER diagrams and normalisations too.. Had some assignments too...completed it just now!!! 2morow it seems v start oracle!! Hmm... Dont know anything abt it!!!

Last week was gr8 week... Classes were abt C.... So,i was doing good ter!! But,after 2day,the shinning days r over,i guess!! 2 follow RDBMS r JAVA,ADvanced Java,XML,html,java script and J2EE!!!! I sincerly believe tht these infosians dosent expect much frm us!!B'Cause,if they does expect somethng big,they r in 4 a big surprise!!!!

Kiru and thottu left 2 B'Lore 2day...i guess!!! Looks lik every1 is gng their way!! It was always ter,in my mind!!But,i always consider it as one of the things tht will happen in FUTURE... But,I guess tht Now is the time...the future has became Present,and will become Past!! Time is flying fast!! The life here,i dont know y,is feeling lonely!! Last night,i was talking with anu abt these things!! Dunno y....i dont feel the same "adipoli" atmosphere tht I used 2 feel back home!! Here,ter r many groups!!Hindi ppl 1 group,mallus,another,and tamils one,kannada,another,and some unfortunate souls comming frm gujrat,orrisa and northeast,struggle 2 get along in a group!! Most of the ppl here either dosent want 2 make new frnds,or r satisfied by the No. of frnds tht they have here!! Most of the times,me and anu r 2gether!!Simply wandering in this "Infocity"... I got some new frnds,tht u ppl might have known,rite!!! But i dont know,if i ever get frnds tht i got frm the college!!!I guess not!!

Here r ppl,who have no time 2 enjoy,no time 4 fun and masti....(Including me).. Actually,ter is no time at all!! Wht is Infosys hoping to achieve by training us lik this??(By us,i mean the short cycle ppl).. V cannot make frnds,cannot enjoy the facilities!! Ofcourse,v cant complain,rite?? They r taking care of us,well!! Every need of us is met here!! Every need,apart frm the basic need of any human being i.e:- 2 enjoy life here!! They put us in project batches and classes in shuffeled order,so tht v mingle with every1,and make frnds with others!! But wer is the time!! Ofcourse,v can get frnds...But,2 get a real good frnd,v need time...time 2 know them well...2 understand them,and time 4 them 2 know us well!! The only thing which I am missing here is time!!

Hmmmmm...No point in complaining now...rite guys!!! every1 now 2 their on "Destiny"... And entering a new phase of the life...entirely different frm the one which v were used 2 have!! An independent life!! A life with responsibilities.... The memories tht v had 2gether,it wont go tht easly frm our mind...i guess!! Hope tht every1 enjoyees the life well,and make some gr8 frnds.. and, hope every1 keeps on contacting...atleast through the virtual world!!! Beleive me guys... This is not wht i had in my mind wen i came 2 Infy... Not quiet disappoinintg,but not quiet up 2 the mark also!!! Hmmm...almost the same way lik i felt wen i came 2 the college!! Hope tht here also,my life wld change!!!! Hoping 4 best....Take care every1!!!!Take care.....

2 kiru and thottu...all the best 4 a new life yaar!! Do keep in touch!!! And My congrats goes 2 ganu and 2 Rajappan... Wishing u all the best frnds!!!!!!And,howz Onam celebrations gng??

Hello guys/gals....

Hey ppl....Its me frm Infy....Some time since I have blogged... Tooooo many things 2 write...but i dont think tht so much things,I cant write now....Ter r things tht I want 2 write the day on which I left 2 Garden City...On last saturday!!Boy,Tht was an adventure...Ask hafeez,he will tell u!! SO,i will just write couple of incidents tht I saw here...

First of all....Life here is gr8...U r Independent here...Just tht It gets tough once the classes progress!!Tht things u might have guessed...rite!! And the place....It is nothing lik the one seen in photos...It is more thn tht...Just gr8 fellas.... The service and discipline tht they r maintaining is simply gr8..Even V dont feel lik breaking those rules...So, a couple of Incidents which I happen 2 c....here is it...

Incident 1:

First of all....I need 2 tell u something....The service staff here is gr8...simply gr8...I mean,i knew tht it was gr8,but I didnt expext it 2 b this much gr8...Here is one example of it....

Day 1....I reached here on sunday evening...My room mate is a mumbai waalah...A nice and easy gng guy... So,on monday,I woke up early,and as usual,My bed was a mess...clothes were ter all over it,and also the towel..I was in a hurry(I dont know the way 2 class...) so,i left early,thinking tht i wld clean tht mess up in evening..In evening,wen I returned...the Bed was all made up...My towels were neatly folded up and placed in bed,and also my pants,which i had put up 2 dry!!I was amazed!!!I had no idea who did these sweet thing 4 me!!! I asked my room mate...

Me:-Are shoaib(His name)...Y did u fold these clothes 4 me...U shldnt have done it yaar...I wld have done it myself..

Shoiab:- Kya keh raha hein yaar...it wasnt me...It is room service ppl..Even I was shocked yaar..Even my chappals were put properly near to the door aar...These guys here r gr8...

I was shocked at this...after this,I always take care not 2 make a mess of my room!!!

Incident 2:-

This incident happened yesterday(Not 2 me)...

I was in FC2(Food Court No. 2).... Planning 2 have my dinner of Plain Dosa(Yeah man...it is the only thing tht the malayalees eat...all other type of food here sucks!! Really man...95% of ppl frm kerala fell sick within 1 week...I was lucky though..Had couple of pudeen haras and was OK within hours!!)...So,ter I saw 2 English ppl(Saayips)..Having Masala Dosa...This was a strange sight...So,I decided 2 watch..After 5 minutes,I got the coupon,and was standing in queue to get my dosa...Ten Wen I looked at those Sayipps,this is wht I saw...It was Damn funny!!I almost laughed at this...

Sayips had only Dosa,No chatni or Sambar!! First one was just picking pieces of dosa and eating it plainly..ten,he picks some masala and is eating...The second guy...well,He was holding the entire Dosa in his hand,And eating it as a Vegitable Roll!!! Every1 ter was watching it and was struggling not 2 laugh!!It is very strict here not 2 laugh at sayyips...these ppl will complaint!! But all the ppl in Cleaning and ppl standing in counters,they were laughing lik hell!! Well,will write abt other incidents 2....But all those...Later...I have an assignment 2 complete,and also,a project 2 submit on wednesday...ten,on thursday,I have a Module test!!!Hmmmm.. Lots of work 2 do!! All others a gng smooth...Anu and sumy r here in my class...also is jackie and aparna.. Friday,v had DJ nite...Was gr8!! Did a lot of dancing!!!

And,Yesterday,I played cricket ...In night!!The ground was well lit up!!It was a gr8 experiance..Played it with tennis ball though!! Oh...almost forgot...another funny thing happened 2 me yesterday!!..It happened while I was playing cricket...Majority of ppl were malayalees.. Real friendly ppl... V were calling others eda,poda and all those words tht v usually call while v r enjoying!!After the match,I met with a guy who was playing here..His name is ,lets say...Mr.X.. V both were in same team!!So,lots of eda,poda b/w us has happened already...after the mathc,this conversation occured....

Me:- Aaliya,I am frm Fast track...J2EE...neeyo??
X:- Njan ivide placed aanu...
Me:-Eda,aathu thanne...eethu batchilada nee??
X:- Njan ivide E&R Dept. aanu(Education and Reserch)...Ippol Generic Streamine padippikukayanu!!
I was shocked...He told me tht it is cool..He didnt mind these stuff at all..He told tht Usually these HR ppl will hand out with students and all..go 2 pub etc.etc... ..So,I told him tht I will c 2 2morow nite,2 play...And I left...The staff here is very friendly... Can b considered as frnds only!!

Byee all...
C ya later..
Missing All of u guys....and Gals...

Partings...

Results would probably come tomorrow...So might not be in a good state to write after that...That might is pretty solid one!
First Alumni is over...many get togethers have been done...People have started to going to their destinies...Change from the four year old ways...For the better I hope and sincerely pray for everyone's good...
A tremendous void seems to be filling me...a realisation...we will never be the same carefree birds that we were...time will bring in responsibilities...bring in barriers...restrictions...

I saw a dream while I was sleeping in the morning (not early morning...around 11:30) Most of us were there...I can definitely remember Haf, Ganu and Pappu...Don't remember what it was...it was a party...that is all I can recall now...

Felt sad after that...that is something pretty much in the dreams thing...not going to happen again...
This post may be a reflection on that...
Read Pattu's analysis...he has written well...about each of us...

I did a similar analysis waaay back...but didn't include many...that was due to my impatience more than anything...
I can see that I am being incoherent....
I am feeling a massive amount of sadness within me...a sense of loss...and the waiting for the results is also fuelling it...

Was feeling very lonely when I wrote this...still feels...will always...the lone wolf will always be inside me...
Thank you all for letting this lone wolf into the wolfpack...

May God shower his blessings...may good happen to all...
My prayers are there...always...

blog!!hehe



Panackal:-I know him frm Zephyr...just know him...thts all,neither he nor me was ter in
class!! always bunking!! Well,in first 2 years....v were very very good frnds!!really good!!
he is a gem of a guy!! i really feel tht he has got a lot of talents!!smart,intelligant and
most important,guy talks sense!!!! but,wen u started ur fufu and gugu,i started loosing my
respect 4 u!!dunnu y!!!but it happened!!it mayb because i never expected it from u!!tht mayb
y!!i mean,i know tht kiru and renjith had all these....and i almost expectd them 2 have....i
was having a not so good impression abt Poly those days!! But apart frm tht,i had no probs
with him!!!then,wen he became an almost chain fufu guy...i felt very sad!!i almost hesitated
2 talk with him!!i didnt feel lik gng 2 balus,wer he wld b ter,fufu-ing!! and,then,i hardley
saw him!!I still remember tht in entire study leave for S7 exam,i didnt c him even
once!!although his house is just a small walk frm my house.... Dunno wht has happened 2
me...mayb it is his fufu,mayb his attitude 2wards mandi!!!i dont know!! i has really felt

tht this was just a mis understanding!!all wld b back 2 normal!!but u ppl increased ur daily
intake,although much lower now a days,i think!!but, try 2 reduce it yaar!!4 ur own sake,and
sometimes,4 my own!!(remember the day wen v went 2 meenmutty??in unni's car??and he said some statatics according 2 which i was inhaling 70% cigerrate and u only 30%??)...

impression abt. the ppl from poly!!I felt tht they were just a bunch of idiots who join ter
as they had no other jobs!!but with these 2 men,my entire attitude towards life and 2 other
ppl changed!!4 tht,I thank u man....well,kiru is a bujy!!!a katta bujy,who beleives in
learning it by understanding it well!!i used 2 fight with him a lot during S3...aathinu avan

very good frnds outside our class,frm ec,bt and it(all of them,girls)... and,is becomming a
contenter for the asthana kozhi post against nibin...the seat was vacent after rahul(kozhi)

Anand (a.k.a Abhasan) :-

He is the Mr. Manyan of our class..(The title was honoured upon himself by none other than
Anand himself)... Another wonderful guy... Who luvs 2 drive bikes... I hardly know him by
person during S1S2 classes..It was through cricket tht I came 2 know more of him.. A very
good fast bowler and a classic left handed batsman... He has eral talent in microprocess
and cobol and any other "pre-historic" languages!! Has a certain liking towards color white.
A very trustworthy frnd of mine,his only problem is tht he looses temper very easly.. Once
he has even got angry with me(remember the match wen u were bowling 2 a junior??) But thts
OK...I know tht it is in his nature...But so much of anger is also not good man!! A good
captain but never does he dons the cap... Apart frm those things,he is a fun guy 2 hang
around with!!

Nibin :-

Hmmmm...another of my very good friend... A kattabujy...who never listens 2 classes ,
irritates teachers..goes 2 movies(any movie is OK with him..most of the movies tht he goes
has only him as the spectator,along with an unfortunate hostler who happens 2 go out with
him..) and still manages 2 b top scorer in exams!! He is a prathibasham!! Now doing hacking
in an international company.. Yeah thts rite...hacking.. (last time I spoke 2 him,he told me
tht he must learn hacking credit cards.. Couldnt understand y!!!hmmm...)Another guy good in
organizing..hmm...luks lik ter r lot of guys good in organizing... A very sensible guy...
Luvs 2 read books...it was he who gave me Da vinci code book... my lab mate 4 last 3
yrs...along with naru.. V had made some discoveries as well!!! It was gr8 fun with these
ppl.. Never does the labs and simply copies data frm unda or frm manee!!!I think ours were
the only Boys only batch 4 a long time.. He was also my project mate.. was fun ter also..
Once v all went 2 his home in pattanamtitta... Oh..was a hell of an experiance.. Can write a book abt it... Heard some classy Nibin dialogues!! And They also recorded some classy dialogues of mine..In a way tht wld make Afghan terrorists drop their heads with shame!! A typica aachayan...I hope tht he gets wht ever he wants in his life!!!He has also been our class rep for last 3 yrs...i think.. It was a burden tht v were not ready 2 accept..But he accepted it reluctantly... but does it very well!! Also our Allumini Vice president!! Tht 2, v have put it on his shoulders!! Man,this is because v trust tht only u can handle these stuffs... Ithellam ninnodulla sneham kondalle....

A guy who has changed 180 degrees within a year.. It came as a gr8 surprise 4 me.. I still remember the old jackie...who used 2 stand infront of princies office every afternoon!! Now,all tht has gone... He has quit fufu and gugu,has found the girl of her dreams!! A guy who landed in more thn 1 job,and is confused wht 2 do next!!(jocking yaar!!!) He was my mini project team mate... Then,tht was another jackie..."Confusious jackie"..Imagine this.. On the day of our project evaluation..

Bonny...another milatry man..But unlik colonel,1 can easly say tht he isnt much of a milatry!! But he has got some good skills...One thing is tht he has got a photographic memmory!! And the next thing is his tricks up his sleeve!!No1 can guess wht he is gng 2 do next!!Now @ infy hyderabad,i am sure tht he is enjoying his time ter!!!Best of luk mate!!

Rahul Krishnan:- a.k.a kozhi..

The pet name kozhi has been added 2 him in S1S2 itself...But,after he became commited,I think tht it must b given 2 Nibin or Kiru... V has faught a couple of times in past..But i beleive tht it was something foolish!! A guy who is always at war against takkudu,4 no particular reason,gives us all a good time!! Best of luk man!!where ever u r!!


The not so good frnds....a.k.a "THE KIDS":-

I dont know if they will read this...but here it goes!!! V never started the fight against u ppl...remember tht it was u ppl who started it all!!
