B’days

                          ‘B’days are occasions ,just to remind that I’m getting older ‘ This is the view ,i had for B’days once I jumped out of my childhood days and magic date feb 12 (obviously my B’day) never seem to interest me anymore .it is just a occasion for wearing new dresses , but this impression broke as my life moved on . in hostels , we were used to celebrate the b’days as a grand event . it started as place ,where we friends mingled as group ,started looking outside our ROOM ,and introduced to new people who eased into our lives as friends . Hostel B’days have 12′0 clock cake cutting ceremonies , back breaking slaps with lights switched off ,bed sheets all over on you ,playing hide and seek to escape cakes being pasted upon our face, buckets of water being spilled upon you and last but not least photo session ( I liked this part ,very much) . another interesting part is waiting for people to wish you @ midnight . whenever I think of B’days , feb 12 ‘08 is a special one.. that is my last one in my collage life and we celebrated both in hostel and my class room . it came within the last one month of our college life , so it had more emotional attachment to it .

 the period in between the feb 12′08 to feb 12′09 would easily be the most *happening* period of my life time , I slowly translated from college student to a vetti guy (nearly spend half an year in that) then I’m slowly building my professional career. But then this year , I know that my family members wouldn’t be around as in my school days , i know that a good chuck or most part of friends who were greeting wouldn’t be near you and surely I miss numerous hand shacks I had before but then one of the things that make life beautiful is , unexpected turns and twists it brings to you . it is great that new friends have stormed(?) to your life so soon than u hope and gave u a ray of hope on life . It would always feel great to hear old friends(sometimes ,even across from across the Atlantic ocean) , especially their parents and someone’s whom you don expect to wish , wish u ‘Happy B’day ‘. But with *this* type of B’days , u tend to expect more. and with expectations sky high tend to get disappointments and it is part of the parcel , I’m used to move on ,with the disappointments  .

PS  :my colleagues/friends poured with gifts I had a good number of wardrobes and 8 books.. I’m looking forward to read that books as soon as possible and return back my comments , but travelling nearer to 3 hours per day in public transport make things harder for me

 

bye bye Nokia 2600

i have been using my nokia 2600 handset since feb 9th 2007. it has been a witness to all of my emotions than anything else in this past one year time . it has helped me discover lot of old friends . but i lost my mobile due to my carelessness and absentmindness on 25th march

some calls i attended with that mobile made that mobile(more are placement oriented,that is the time when i felt the real pressure)

*first call ( to venky) i made,once the TCS results are declared ( i missed that )

* call i made to my dad on may 24th ‘07  the day b/w CTS an TCS

*call , i got from shanmu on the eve of CTS

*variuous calls i received on b’day an i did to others b’days

* my calls to school friends .. (chance illa times )

*call i got from my a unknown person ( blood receipt from me )

once the i found that my cell was missing, after searching for an hour or 2 . i informed my home about that.. they scolded me for searching that llong . and my sis asked me not to worry much about that nu.. acutually, that moved me and worried me so much that , they were very understanding parents ,anna and akka.. .i remember hardly when they made me to toil or feel..  i dono how am i going to pay back love towards them .

 

The Most Memorable Phone Call :)

Few months ago, i was going to a hotel for dinner with my friends. i went to SBI ATM to draw some money for my expendicture. just when my turn came for the ATM,i remembered that i  forgot the ATM pin number . i was bit anger on myself ,since lossing the seniority in the queue. then i called my dad and asked the pin number, he said that he would call me back in few minutes with PIN number. so i was eagerly waiting for his call . minutes later ,my mobile rang and i eagerly saw it. but i was disappointed to see a call from a new no.. i hoped that it is some wrong number and took the phone ,but it turned out to be a memorable call forever

A voice from other end was enquiring me,whether it is ‘vinodh’ .. i was shocked and said ” s s vinodh only speaking,, who r u ??? ” . then he just explained me who is he and how we r related. i can visualize some events ,which happened 3 months ago from that date.

it was one saturaday evening 8 to 8 30 PM. most of the friends in hostel were gone back to their home and i was alone for the most part of the weekend. i don know ,wat to do and i was seeing some english movie to just kill the time . just then , one nss volunter knock my door and asked me ” do u know , anyone having A+ blood ” . i was about the tell him, ask the next room ,when i remembered that i too belong to that blood group only . i said to him, “i itself A+ only da ” . then he asked me ” whether u r willing to give blood on tomorrow morning on apollo hospitals , madurai “. i said ” ok sure,” then he just given me a 1st year junior number . whom would accompany me. but acutually,i only picked him next day

on sunday morning by 9 ( usually ,’ll wake only @ that time ) i started to apollo hospitals and picked that junior in periyar . then i was introduced to a woman , to whose husband i was about to donate blood.. they r about to do heart surgery ( if my memory doesn fails me ) for him and he need 5 bottles of blood and they r searching for the last bottle of blood and so waiting for me.. i just spoken with them for some time and i went to donate blood. then it was they gave me a form and got it filled up and then it was small process for a 10 or min .. then they gave me some energy-drinks . then i started to hostel, getting a thanks from the woman .she even opted to get me a auto ,but i said “i’m healthier , can go to hostel with a smile and asked her to look after her husband ” . but ,i left that place without seeing the concern persons for some strange reasons. then i started to hostel and while i was travelling back , i called my home and informed about donating blood.. i got severe scolding from mom, she asked me ” lookafter your health first da” . i laughed and said ” i’m above 45 kgs ma ” then she asked why u didn inform me before itself .. i dono wat to reply, i was calm now . now my sister got the phone and wished me . then i went to home next week and attended a enquiry and then i forgot this issue altogether ..

now , i knew with whom i’m talking with .. i enquired him about his health and his profession . he thanked me and wished me al the best . he even invited me to his home . i was not in this world for few min. i was acutually floatin . i dono, how to explain wat i felt that day,but his voice had echoed me many things .

i was really happy and called my home , to inform this.. they al felt very happy . that moment made me understand , what is real happy and wat ‘ll make us feel that ” life has a meaning”. i never stored that phone no or didn went to his home or called him back .

 

Tce Marathon ‘08 -run for clean environment && Thunderlights ‘08 -Flood light cricket tournament

                                    i participated in Tce marathon and flood light tournament in my first year of my college and then i didn participated in the last 2 years. since this is my last year of college life,i decided to participate in both of these events

i was in a dilemma whether to run in marathon or not(i had a doubt, could i finish:P ) till the eve of marathon. i was convinced somehow and decided to run. next day , when the green flag was about to rise. some group of enthu guys made me do a somersault in the middle of road and i got bruises in both knees .but i don want to leave the race and started running.. in the last 3 years of my college life,i hardly done a physical work apart from playing cricket and walking . so it is really hard for me to keep running and when i was  crossing a checkpoint,where juices and glucose were given. i had a taste of them to energise me,jus when i tried to throw the plastic cups to ground i remembered the motto for which we all were running. it read ‘RUN FOR CLEAN ENVIRONMENT”. but all over the places,there were plastic cups and glucose packets. i lost my interest in running and begin to think of that . i got a person there and began to discuss this issue for quite a while.. then i started running and atlast finished the race few places behind my previous record .  once finishing my race,i noticed that my knees were bleeding
This time flood lights were important to us ,since we r scheduled to go to IV on the last day of flood lights. Flood lights have a bad distinction of finishing behind schedule always .. we played under the name ” GALATTA GANGSTERS”  this name was actually coined when during our first year of college..  the 3 days were wonderful and the atmosphere in ground was great. we witnessed some fine matches and exciting duels. but apart from that,all matched were played in the right sprit of the game and there were  no unwanted clashes between the won and lost. but i cant see the final match  fully due to IV .  personally, i had a night mare of match as a cricketer .  we fielded first , i dropped 2 catches and when i came to bowl , they hit me for a flat “SIX” and day was such a worst day , even when i throw straight @ the stumps from deep , it landed on the slippers in front of the stumps and went for a couple of runs.. then my turn came for batting.. i was out for a GOLDEN DUCK !!!!!!!!!.. a perfect nightmare for a cricketer came to an end

 

A Trip to chennai

In the feb 1st week,i visited chennai along ashok and bala, this is my visit to chennai in 4 years. i last visited to attend AIEEE examinations. we went there to participate in FOSSCONF’08 . we stayed in ashok’s aunt home in T nagar. we had a nice time there.. we travelled daily from there to MIT in electric train with lot of funny episodes there . though we spend most of the time in MIT, we had some time to freak out. on the second day, we along with venky went to citi-centre . we spend the evenin in citi-centre spendin sometime in landmark and most time in food courts :). we started from evenings snacks and finished with dinner . but it didn look like tamil nadu itself jus while leavin the building i sent a test message to a friend “come and see the effects of IT “
visitin there ,i noticed the big diff b/w the chennai and rest of tamilnadu in infrastructure,public transport system and workin women population.i too amazed of many big constructions goin on there. in this trip , i jus had a feel of the city which i gonna work next year
