A settled life...

Hmm!! Reached my native on 22nd. Slowly getting settled over here. Started giving work to my legs and hands after a long era of inactivity. Outdoor gaming is on...
Eyes are back on to the crossword section of THE HINDU, which had been temporarily ceased. Chatting with friends, playing computer games, eating heavily, sleeping longer etc..
Just a settled and cool life..That's it..
Will continue for a month or so..

Finally reahced the pinnacle....

After a long tiring climb, apex was touched today...All my second semester exams were over today...
Hmm.. Can't say..very good.But ok.Papers were tough this time..
Somehow completed an year of engineering without proper involvement..
Leaving Chennai tomorrow.

A month's relief from books...

So far... not bad...

Hm..
Sometime days are so fast to realise...
Sometime they tend to be slow..
Even I could not believe that second semester is going to end..It's been pretty fast these 4 months..
Very fast...
Anywayz.. 4 of my 7 theory papers are over.. Still three more left.
So far not bad...Not so good too..

The time has come...

All assessments and end semester practicals are over with a cramped mind..Exams are nearing... Books have started coming out of bags.. Vigil has started..

A very busy time ahead..

A tight going...

It's been pretty tight right from last week,with all assessments and end semester practicals..
Still tight...
and would be tight till MAY 20,
when our second semester ends.

Our second sememster exams commences on May 6.
But there are no signs of completing the portions yet.

A busy schedule ahead.. Got to overcome it successfully..


Ravi signing off..

Tranquility....and excitement..

* And.. the Indians were massacared by AFRIDI on the fifth ODI at Kanpur. One of the worst bowling attacks, I've ever seen. I think the Indians lost their mental strength, though not the physical one, in the absence of Ganguly. When the first two matches were won ingeniously, somthing like 6-0 ran through my mind. But now, my heart is anxious for a 'level series 3-3'

* A peaceful hostel.About 70% evacuated for their natives in connection with Tamil New Year.
I decided not to go, because, not a fortnight has passed from the day,
I came back from my native. I thought spending a useful week-end here at CEG. But so far, I've not. And tomorrow,this goal is surely unattainable. Because, there is a big hurdle in the form of the 6th ODI.

An IV to NCTPS

None of us could understand anything when one of the factory officials of the NORTH CHENNAI THERMAL POWER STATION (NCTPS), tried to impart something in us with his full throat.

Ye.. We'd availed an industrial visit to NCTPS, somewhere near ennore on this 7th. The trip was less technical, but more enjoyable. Our electrical engineering professor was kind enough to arrange for this IV even when he knew that we are all rookies. We, were preparing on how well to enjoy the trip rather than how technically could we utilise it, the previous night. The classes were suspended for the day.

We started from the university at 9:45 AM in our college bus. Reached there at around 11:45 AM. Then we were checked and sent in...
We waited for about half an hour.. Then came a smart looking factory official..
He first gave us a gist on this power plant and its production. Then we were taken for rounds around NCTPS. We were in a real factory atmosphere there. The machines and their working, were pretty interesting to see. We had an oppurtunity to see the 275 metre long chimney, tallest in Asia.
There in NCTPS they produce electricity and supply them to the grid. The raw material used there, is coal. This is something I listened to.
After covering the whole factory. We were taken to Asia's worst canteen perhaps at around 2 PM when we were all dyingly hungry. Even water packets were sold out. Nothing was left. Then we started back with empty stomach. My head ache also started along with that. Because the heat was at its peak. Not a water drop to drink. Then there was a hault in the middle, where we had some juice, which further aggrandised my head ache.
Then we reached university at around 5 PM.
Return journey was very tiresome. The trip was pretty enjoyable on the whole.
We gained some idea on how industries work, how weary the workers are.. etc..

Rainy..

We had 2 days of nasty rain. Commuters sufferred a lot here, from College to hostel and back to college..and to mess in between. The case of Day scholars was even worse.
None of us expected such a heavy rain during the period of a hot summer. Anywayz..

Chennai is pretty cool now.
This rain brought up a sigh of fresheness in us, for sure. Still it's drizzling.
My hands are wet, as I am imprinting thse words into the blog, because of cool weather and AC room, from where I use to surf, is adding fuel to fire..

Another easy win for Indian cricketers today. Well Done M S DHONI! This thirsty man was waiting for his turn to come and he proved it here. I feel a bit proud to say that we are two games ahead of 'em. Inzy would try to pull back..in the next match.
Let's hope for the best.

1-0 up...India up up..

On the whole, yesterday was pretty enjoyable..
It started off with a flambouyant victory of the indian cricketers...Thanks to Virender Sehwag for his blastings.We are a step higher than the Pakistanis now..It was followed by our HOSTEL DAY. We had snacks which was followed by some entertainments which were the least entertaining..
The most awaited part of the agenda - the dinner, was nicely planned and it tasted well too.

No special incdents at the college now-a-dayz..
Rest all ok...

Hotter Chennai..

Hmm..
Day by day Chennai is getting sultrier and sultrier.The summer here is at its peak.The most expected water problem troubled us for the past 2 days.We all sufferred of dying thirst neither did we have enough water to have a nice cool bath to get relieved, a bit, from this inferno.Now it's been curtailed to some extent.

Days are pretty comfortable now.
mm..
Life just goes..
