Diversions - Killer of TIME...

I am in my native on a 3 day long week end in connection with Good Friday. Still my second assessments are on. They have not attained completion.

So the day I started from CEG, Chennai, I, very ingeniously, took many books with me, to read. Everytime I do the same thing. I would be stubborn and robust in my attitude of studying in my home..

But it's hightime, I abided by my attitude. Right from the moment I step into the cool water from that inferno(comparing my home with my hostel), forget what is what and my whole attitude would change.

My heart, my soul, my everything would force me to enjoy, would discourage me in an encouraning manner. I detest my soul at times. Many reaction forces would act from my 'inner' when I come home. I've heard many times, my 'inner', saying "Studies are secondary." So all the books I bring would never pose their heads out at home. They'd be safely packed in my suitcase.

LAME EXCUSE :
Lots and lots of distractions and diversions.
Calls from my friends, old memories, TV, Computer, a good breakfast, a delicious dinner, a luscious lunch etc. help me much in deviating from books.

At night, I go to sleep with a heavy dissatisfying heart, with a reminiscent mind on how well I wasted the day. Days would pass the same way.

On the day I leave home for the following day's class, I'd feel the heaviest of my hearts and would a pose a desperate and virtual smile at my parents as though I am blissful. The heaviest moment comes when the train destined to Chennai, roars out of the station. I'd drop all my pleasant memories and would carry all remorseful feelings with me.

But when I reach my hostel, the heavy hearts of other colleagues (whose itinerary matched mine), would make me feel relaxed a bit.
This "reminiscence" will orthdoxly, be the same whenever I come home.

One of the shining stars, infact the brightest..

I was not so impressed with Yuvan Shankar Raja's RAAM, when it flowed into my ears for the first time. Nor was I too attentive to those musical waves, as I always hear music as my second work.

But then after RAAM's release of visual, my colleagues' hype about the excellency of the film made me tune my ears towards the great composer's composition.

I admired it, lost my bad thoughts that ambushed me, went deep down to the underworld, cruised all way on the sea of Bliss. I felt lush and opulent.

Yuvan's touch in music has touched our inner heart. I am sure, he would also have felt it while composing them. This is one of the few shining stars of Yuvan's forged music heaven.

Hey frendz,, try it out and u'll get drowned into Yuvan's innovation. I really mean, saying this.

PINNACLE - 05

Ye! Pinnacle, a national level technical symposium for mechanical engineers hosted by CEG, was so technical that it went beyond the comprehending ability of the freshers, to some extent.

But I assure you, it was overwhelmingly good(upto the level I could understand the technicality). Pinnacle was held on 17th and 18th of March. Classes were suspended for all mechanical engineers of CEG, on account of this.

Prodigies from various colleges all over India participated and performed exceedingly well. There were quizzes, paper presentations, project presentations and what not?
It was a well planned and ingeniously executed symposium by CEG.

Coming to the most vital part. The quality of lunch provided on those two days, went beyond our expectations. It was informed that the lunch was unlimited. So, we were all mentally prepared for a "little less quality" lunch. But it so luscious that it took us to heaven. Every item was delicious.

We, first years, were denied of paper presentations. So some of my colleagues who had interest and zeal in it, were a bit upset. Every agenda was excellently planned and optimistically executed, though there were some freaky obstacles.

And coming to the paper presentation session. I dunno about other colleges. But if u r a student of CEG, u would have an oppurtunity to listen to paper presentaions quiet frequently. Not only paper presentations but also to other technical discussions. We CEGians will never be deprived of these things.

And during pinnacle, I was fortunate enough to listen to some 10 to 15 papers presented by other college representatives.[It was a paper presentation competition.].

All the colleges were profusely talented in paper presentations, but when it comes to QUERIES session, the other side of the coin commences to show up.

What, I noticed of all of them, was that they are a bit amateur in answering to the queries. Especially, here in CEG, our professors(who were the judges for the competitions) cross-questioned the participants with some freaky queries which made them sweat in the middle of the dais. They stood, unanswering them, in imbroglio whether to attempt on it or give a bashful "don't know" to the judges.

So, i think for paper presentations, an indepth understanding of the concept, on the subject of presentation, is a necessity.

Pinnacle aimed at bringing out prodigies, erupt out their skills and hidden capabilities. I came to know that this year's pinnacle was an unprecedented success.
