Days pass....

Life's a dream....

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY...

Do they really exist???

We, the people: "Ya they do" , "I don't think so, they do"........

Wat's happening all out here?

Hey, come on Poltergeists can exist. Though am not very assertive with this statement,
am still on the greener side on the belief of their existence.
Though there being some 1100 websites, on the net, giving info about their existence, we'd remain dubious and skeptical till the day we experience its existance (don't panic!!)
But it's still pretty interesting and intriguing to surf through the poltergeist sagas. But I feel, one never can asseverate that Poltergeists don't exist.

HAPPY '07

Have a great YEAR.

Gun, out of the holster again...

Temporal digression is a bit relieveing.
But now it's high-time, the GUN came out of the holster again for GUNSHOTS.
With the Sixth semester around the corner, things are getting heated up.

Back to College days, with busy (may b) itinerary right thro' the day.
Attending classes after a soporific breakfast, Getting howls from Prof.
Preparing last minute plagiarised seminars, and presenting a stuttering performance.... Providing a self-solace for the bad performance etc etc..

Well, Chennai, here I am. Racing down with full vim, to have an impact of
GUNFIRE.

Mind agonizing November

Sleepless nights, drooping eyes, tired brain, excruciating study-hours, frequent tea taking at nights and what not. The fifth semester exams were unprecedentedly harrowing.

The usual thing that happens every semester is that, certain part of the syllabi (30 - 50% of the portions, probably) would be left untouched. So, Self study.(Though this should not be a worry, but since we've been spoon fed from the start, it's pretty elusive now, to do self study). The trend continued. But the reason is still obscure, why this semester exam was more torturous than the previous.

To add fuel to fire, performance in the exams was also dismal and dispiriting (I feel so). Our ‘efforts’(as I prefer to call), went in vain. Designating, the last minute study, as EFFORT, is pretty ludicrous. But still effort is effort. It has gone futile.

Things must change. Life needs a renovation. (Too much ah!!) The syllabi and teaching has to be more pragmatic. The first thing is I (we) must change. Last minute study is grievous (as elders say, which we don adhere to. And may be never going to). The next thing is, rules in cols got to get stringent. The syllabi has to be completed within the stipulated period. It must be ensured that, before the ingress of semester exams, one must have got an idea of the whole syllabi, which, in assurance, is going to reduce the onus on him/her on the eve of the examination.

Let’s hope for something positive and be optimistic in the following semester. (Resolutions are often taken following a battering, but are seldom followed.)

AGNI burns..

Hm... And within a month, the situation is gonna be different when 'poignant' semester exams knock! huh!
With vivacious AGNI (Odd Sem culturals of CEG) ablazing the stages here, life rocks.
Lotsa entertainments... Less classes. More vim and vigour!!

The thing dat worries us now is, not much has been dealt wid, on the academic side, with jus one more month to go for exams.
This semester is going to become a TRAGEDY for sure!

A Quick visit...

We were squeezed by exams last week!! Huh! Hectic! Alas, twas all over.
Immediately after dat, we were informed to get ourselves equipped for a "Quick Visit" to ASHOK LEYLAND (Ennore), without any prior notice. Huh!
Dat was totally against 'will'. None of us were interested, initially. We people were in a mood to hit our beds for a good rest, after a series of mind-corrupting assessments. But twas the other way.

We'd a tiresome 1.5 hr travel to ennore, and were taken in. Hm... The hot air & dust in the pathway (we walked along) between the running machines, made us sick.
But it all changed, and our minds tried to listen to a GUIDE(mind u! He was younger to us, but the way he explained the proceesses going on, really deserved credit), who explained the assembly of a LORRY pretty hastily.
Hm... Twas a gud. ASHOK LEYLAND (Ennore) sends 135 lorries out (fully assembled), a day, it seems!! Great!!
The assembling processes were pretty quick to comprehend, coz, they were all done by experienced labour, with advanced machines.
But we, atleast, got something into our head, for sure.
A good one!

An "Industrial" Visit, May be not!!

Huh! T's alwayz gud to be in groups, where u can banish loneliness!!
Yup. Our "Industrial visit" to KERALA was awesomely superb. The climate just rocks. Some 75 of my colleagues and I had been there for some 4 dayz, on an "OFFICIAL INDUSTRIAL" visit. Those 4 dayz were really enthralling!! We were full of vim and vigour. The stay, the travel, the accomodation, everything was superb! We'd a very gud time there at KERALA.
But we missed out quiet a lotta places!! But the places we visited were simply gr8!

The boating at Cochin (a two-hour marine drive in a very comfortable 125 seater "palace on waters") was as gud as being at leisure in a Swiss beach. The Kochi breeze across the oceans was just too gud (too poetical huh!! anywayz!).

Athirappilly falls (which was not in our itinerary, & was a sudden plan) was cherishable. U must not miss dat, if u r planning for a trip to KERALA. The place had a very cool and non-chalant atmosphere, dat really rocked!! And we'd a fortune of seeing BOOMIKA (in close proximity), who was desperately practising a step for a dance in her next telugu film, perhaps!!

Then comes MUNNAR, a very pleasant hill station... We spent a day and a half there. Had a very gud time. Twas a initially cool.. But, u can easily get set to those conditions. There we toured Rajamalai hills (damn good place, don miss it!!), A Dam, a national park... All were gud!
We'd a camp-fire at night dat included fun, fun and only fun.

Then we'd been to VEEGA LAND (water-theme park). A superb place. It's been built at an elevated place. T's cool, well maintained. Very clean! Had hell lotsa entertainemnt there!

This visit's one of my most cherishable ones!!
