Diamond days at Nellai..!!

On sunday night me along with my friends Annamalai, Ashok, Chennappan, Sairam, Vinodh started our journey by train to Nellai to visit Chennappan's home. We reached his home by 11.30pm and had dinner at mid night. Next morning we started from home by 5.30 am to Babanasam and spent more than two hours there. We were accompanied by a Babanasam guy and he took to a place very close to dam shutters where we were not even able to swim against the water flow. It was really a wonderful experience. Then we went to Karaiyar and then visited Pana Theertham by travelling in a boat from karaiyar where the Tamirabarani river reaches the plains for the first time from mountains. Then we visited Agasthiar falls and returned back Nellai on that evening. Then me, Sairam along with Chennappan went to our friend Jaya's home. Jaya served us snacks. Her parents were more friendly and we had a nice chat with them.
On the next day we visited Nellaiappar temple and krishnapuram temple. The trip was really wonderful and we all enjoyed a lot.
One thing I cant forget at anytime is the way we spent days at chenni's home. We felt like we were staying at our home. We ate well there:-). His parents and grand father all took special care on each of us and we must thank them for making the days memorable diamond days with their love and care.

Bye Bye TCE

My golden days at our college,TCE came to an end on 24th Apr, 2008. On 24th we had our project viva-voice and with that almost everything with our college life except the degree convocation came to an end. Though I am happy to step-in the corporate life soon, I still am feeling for the fact that I'll be missing my college environment, class rooms, lectures, my friends, kidding at others and those small fights. In college i got the opportunity to attend various tech talks by our college alumni Joe Steeve, AnanthShrinivas, Stylesen and got ideas from them.

TCE is from where I got to learn a lot right from the engineering basics to programming, systems architecture, Free and Open Source Software etc., made many friends, got inspirational seniors like Praveen, Subramani, Senthil kumaran Muthusivam & many friendly juniors...I don't know with how many will I have contact after college life. Its really painful to think about it. But we have to move forward in life. I hope I never lose the contact with my loved ones. There are many many things I wanted to write about and that would increase the post size and hence i will end it here saying Bye Bye TCE..Surely will miss you a lot

Amicizia'08--celebrating friendship..!

We are celebrating our hostel final years day Amicizia'08 on 5th and 6th this month. We are celebrating the final year's day for the first time in our hostel and it is really enjoyable. Various contests are conducted among the final years and the highlight s the dance show under lights on saturday night. Many of our final year students danced and the dance by Habib of civil department attracted all. He danced like all the tamil heroes right from Shivaji, MGR to Rajini, Kamal, Bagyaraj and vijay, Ajith. It was really a wonderful performance.
In that show I danced for the first time on the stage. I was sitting and enjoying the show. Suddenly our General Rep Navin announced my name as the next dancer going to dance. They played songs from 23rd pulikesi and Aaru films. I moved here and there and tried putting some steps. I really enjoyed that experience. It was a sweet moment to be remembered for long time.
On sunday morning i was the judge for dumb charades. It was jolly to see friends acting on the stage. In the last few days i found many things going wrong in my way and this break really helped me to forget those things:-)

LIVESTRONG...!!!

Today I had a chat with one of my friends about various topics. Suddenly I found a new LIVE STRONG band in his wrist and i casually asked him the story behind it. To my surprise, He said it as the fashion created by star Vijay. I was shocked to hear this and some other friends there were also had the same idea. It was really a comedy to see those people justifying their words. Then after heard the reason from me, we all smiled at each other and left the place. Our college's last internal test day was thus become a memorable one.
The actual story behind it is-- was launched as a fund raising item for Lance Armstrong's, the tour de france champion for 5 successive years, Cancer foundation. Its purpose is to create awareness about cancer among people. It was introduced when Armstrong was struggling with testicular cancer by his fans to show their support to their hero. After recovering from the cancer disease he became the champion of tour de france breaking many previous records. He then started the foundation for cancer patients and used the LIVE STRONG bands to create the awareness about cancer disease.
