Not worried ... Just Perplexed...!!!

Seriously...
This is alarming...
This is just too much...
There is always a limit...
But I am to blame...

Since...
It is My future...
It is My Dream...
If I do not ..??

As...
The countdown begins...
The fear grips...
The probabilities occur...
The prayers begin

But am I the only one to blame ?

AND Therefore...

I am NOT worried BUT just perplexed...!!!

Its COMEBACK time folks..!!!!

This Winter has been a sort of dampener in terms of weather. Its been very warm in the afternoons... In fact its not been like winter at all.. Adding to it is the unseasonal rain.. A "dampener" really..But thank GOD..!! The disappointment is only with the weather.. No other serious complaints..

In fact the positive aspect of this season has been the remarkable comebacks... No one in their wildest of dreams would have imagined Team India to win the T20 world cup... that too after being humiliated in the 50 over version of the same tournament...Perhaps the England cricket team ( my favorite) is the only one which hasn't risen from the "ASHES"..Maybe they don't believe in phoenix 'birthology'..

Comebacks have always been unexpected.. but you can bank upon one person to Comeback strong....After a stupid film called Fanaa at the beginning of the year , this Gentleman has comeback with one of the most beautifully written scripts about parenting...Tats Aamir Khan for you...& Taare Zameen Par for you..!

Coming back to cricket.. Who can forget DADA ?... ridiculed by many , this guy knows the pain of being let down... who else but DADA at that age can comeback and win the 'MAN of the series'.. Want to know the difference between MEN & BOYS ? rewind DADA 2007...

6 months back .. No one really gave him a chance... lots were being said... Hindutva , Anti-Incumbency , Dip in Popularity , Rebel forces , extreme speeches , warnings from Election commission , Fake encounter controversy ... Still one man has comeback.... You can ask him questions.. he may struggle to answer in words but he knows how to answer in action... Here he's after winning the Gujarat election .. the CM who calls his post as Common Man (CM).. but I call it (Comeback Man)... Narendra Modi - the man with the Intelligent brain....!!

On a personal note , after a very poor season in culturals.. Here I am back with prizes and laurels at Loyola college..!! I have won before... But the victory tastes sweeter after I had a rough patch ..!!








If you notice the above cases except mine , its all been pure talent , Grit , Determination , Sincerity and of course the PASSION..!! Now that tells you the secret for 'comebacks'..

Its been an UP and DOWN life for many... Seriously , Not many people mind ups and downs... However the degree of deviation matters...Its often said that GREAT PEOPLE UNDERGO EXTREME UP & DOWN GRAPH IN COMPARISON WITH OTHERS... The list above is STRICTLY about GREAT PEOPLE ONLY( which of course includes me!!)

kiss the clouds......

We kissed the clouds literally... 'WE' refers to 15 of my class guys (including me)who went to kodaikanal amidst disapprovals from various corners . Everyone else said " right place but wrong time".However we were adamant and we proceeded with our journey...

The whole trip was enjoyable.. however somethings stood out during this trip that made it unique ....

--> Each and everything about this trip was planned 2 months in advance & tickets booked a month before...( quite surprising .... is it not?)

--> who can forget SAI during this trip...? His trademark blabberings...!!(the surprise element is the fact tat it was intolerable)

--> Venkat fell during the trip from a waterfall & got stitches from van allen hospital..( most unexpected)



--> we all slept well...( ya we did...!!)

--> we played catch & catch...( how silly..!!)

--> we trespassed a lot...(tat too especially actor banumathy's cottage)

--> we never knew the address of our cottage...(lol... seriously it was always opposite banumathy cottage)!!

--> we ate at a pathetic hotel called sornam ...

--> we also ate at an amazing hotel called hilltop...(both hotels extreme)


--> we were being constantly chased by dogs...(it never understood tat we were 'nice' strangers

--> we all GOT UP EARLY IN THE MORNING...( how surprising..)

--> I never knew that my mates would snore like hell... ( very irritating..)

--> There were no fights...( touchwood)..

--> we managed the finances well...( we r commerce guys...we ought to)

--> we managed to bring a puppy to our cottage...(PETA look upon us..)


--> we got appreciation for our behavior by the cottage owner..( astonishing.!!!)

--> 12 guys boozed..... I mean 3 did not booz & tats surprising...

--> sasi got homesick...( pathetic to see him crying on the phone .. felt sry for him ..)

--> on reaching madurai... WE went to 'temple' of all places there.... ( the most astonishing thing...!!!)



so.. we are not normal college students... we are beyond that...( adayum thaaandi)
(gunaa 'caves' effect)

Its one year --- Way To Go...

Time flies really fast.. It seems only a month ago I started blogging , but one year has gone by...

In this post , I thought I could look back at the events that happened in the past year.

After I started Blogging ....

--> I got the result of my semester exams and I top the class.
--> I had a great cultural season in which I won in all events I participated .
--> I was nearly rusticated twice from the college .
--> The college underwent a strike in which a I played a major part.
--> I was put off for 2 weeks by a disgusting disease called 'Leptospirosis'
--> I shifted my home 3 times..!!
--> I woke up every alternate day for four months @ 4 Am to attend Accountancy Class.
--> A fortnight before my Intermediate exams , I was in bed for 5 days with
Chicken pox.
--> I cleared my Intermediate group 1 with the minimum required marks of 150.
--> I became The cultural secretary.
--> A bad cultural season followed in which I won only 3 out of 9 events I participated.
--> I accidentaly got into a profile in Orkut which had porn and my Dad thought I purposely went he's not speaking with me since then .

Finally , I end up with 50 posts in this 1 year , by no means a meagre achievement!!

My life has never been the same after I started to blog!!!

Mind your words....

This man thinks he does good to people but almost always gets criticised thanks to the big filthy mouth that he depends and 'lives' with.

Its always easy to ask questions and even I can ask...

1) Kannagi is believed to have reduced madurai to flames with her eyes. Did she study that at Hogwarts ?

2) Then Is Silapathigaaram just a story ?

2) Is the use of colour yellow a superstition or belief ? Why does HE use it then?

3) What right has HE got to influence his Ideology being the head of a 'secular' state ?

4) People change names for fantasy is it? why did HE do it ?

5) HE supported the outburst against 'DA VINCI CODE ' which he ironically claimed is against faith ?

Faith and belief are personal issues which should not be touched upon . I am able to ask HIM unanswerable questions in a jiffy ... remember asking questions are easy..

--->Do not blame people are superstitious.
--->Do not think YOU are the only person doing good to people.
--->Do not elevate your status to a reformer( which incidentally you are not).
--->Do not think you are the only caretakers of nations progress.

Finally , Do GOOD by not hurting others or else please F*** OFF .

Viveka wil conduct cults this yr !!!

'idhu kadhai alla nijam.... '

Even though I have been handling cultural related work this year , I can now do so with authorithy and absolutely according to my wish since I am officially The Cultural Secretary of the Corporate department.

The first thing in my agenda is to conduct an inter-collegiate at Vivekananda college ( which is near impossible with the kind of narrow-minded management)..!!
I am confident I'll achieve the " mission impossible " this yr..

Also winning the overall at outside cults has been a distant dream.WE have always come second(thanks to filthy brats from Stella Maris.)I hope that this distant dream will surely be chased and acheived this year..!!

Remember all are not false promises..!!

I know it is difficult to please everyone...
All I can say is I will try to do my best...!!

Winning is everything to me..!!

When you have sincerely put some efforts and if you do not win.. heart breaks.
so whenever you win, enjoy and show out your emotions....!!!! There's nothing wrong in it...

This is how I think.. this is how I behave when there is a victory for me either in cults or in some street cricket match... Victory is sweet.. u got to cherish..Reflect what your heart tells .. Care a damn about people who say your emotions have gone overboard.. just neglect them...

You do not see Sachin Tendulkar celebrating wildly after each century... he keeps his emotions under conrtol. But see him when he takes a wicket.. He just lets the emotions go by..think why..?



Many people think being silent and not showing emotions is good manners.. Seriously all is fair in war and sports... If u win , u must enjoy.. & if u have put efforts to win , you must win the gold ,& If you have won the silver , remember you have just lost the gold.

& Remember there's nothing wrong in letting your emotions go by when you win... after all its your moment of pride , savour it .. As they say ,It is your own 'kodak moment'..!!

Dial-up for dedication ? what is that ?

Read through this familiar conversation....

Vj : Hello , who's on the line ?
Caller : Hi hello...
Vj : what's your name ?
caller : my name is xxxx...
Vj : Sweet name ... how are u?
caller : I am fine & how about you?
Vj : I am fine & now tell me something about you.
caller : I am a blah.... I am doing blah blah blah...
vj : oh .. what a nice course...
caller : yes..
Vj : What song can i play for you?
Caller : I want a song from xxxxxx...
vj : any dedication ?
caller : well... my parents , my friends & ( list goes on..) & then finally to u.
vj : oh thank u..
caller : bye
vj : bye.... & take care...

& the song comes up .....

Aren't you tired of these ...? And there's a lady holding world record for doing this..!!!



&

What in the hell is "Dedication"?...
All your life so many people have liked you and all you do is please them by a "dedication" of a song.(???)!!!

Some of the worst programmes in Television are the ones that makes the caller to call up.Here are some ...

1)All Sun music shows ..(pure shit)
2)Sun Tv "UNGAL CHOICE" (the world record holder,)
3)SS music especially 'CONNECT',"REACH-OUT" and worst is "PCO".

Sorry guys , but we are bored ...




Will Tv channels stop 'vj'ying and play out songs continuously..?
Well we all know the answer , is it not ? They wont stop irritating .

Why the hell is Nature furious..?

I've always thought 'tsunami' was a bit of a joke and a kind of natural spectacle until I saw this.....



I looked at this photograph for sometime and was shell shocked. Oh my god... Why is the nature so devastating??...
Or may be we humans have damaged the nature so much so that the nature is replying by the Newtons third law...??

I cant decipher this phenomenon..

Sorry...
Now I understand the pain of tsunami..
May those souls which had unfulfilled ambitions rest in peace...

'Kid'napped...

"The subscriber cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later". Keshav's mother heard the sweet recorded voice of a woman for the nineteenth time that evening.The mobile was switched off. Time was 8 pm. Keshav Dass had not returned from college. He was normally back by 5:30.As usual his parents were worried.

Suddenly ... Mr Dass's mobile rang .. The caller Id did not reveal the identity . It was a number . He picked it up and before he could say hello , an eerie voice spoke..
" MR Dass , Listen carefully , & do not interrupt in the middle . Your Son is Safe . Bring 50 lakhs to Port trust grounds at 9 pm and take back your son ." The Phone hung up...

Mr Dass was startled. There was something wrong with the kidnapper he thought. He had not warned Mr Dass to not to go to the Police. It was unusual. Nevertheless , Mr Dass did not want to go to the police. He placed 50 lakhs in a travel bag and also took his Pistol which was fully loaded(though he wasn't sure why..?).He started his 'Chevrolet' and....

...." Operation 'Save My son Keshav'" officially began.

He reached the port trust grounds on time and waited for signs of a white Omni.( The official kidnapper's vehicle , he thought).However after 10 minutes , he saw an Auto-Rickshaw rushing towards his direction . It stopped 60 feet before him and a Man with 'Mask' stepped down from it. The 'Kidnapper' approached him..&..

Kidnapper - " er... hi... Is the money inside the bag..?"
Mr Dass - " yes.. yes.. Where's My son ..? "
Kidnapper - " Be patient you old man , Give me the money and I will release your son"
Mr Dass - " No way..., No way... Is he in that Auto ..? "
Kidnapper - " yes.. he is there.. Tied up.. ".

Mr Dass's suddenly put his left hand inside the pocket and took out the pistol and pointed it towards the kidnapper..

Kidnapper - " No... No.. don't shoot me.. wait...Listen to me.."
Mr Dass - " You filthy bastard .. I am not going to give you 50 lakhs.."
Kidnapper - " Wait ... no... I am..."
Mr Dass - " No.. do not speak.. Your time is over... "

And he shot the kidnapper right in the middle of his chest .He died instantaneously.

Then Mr Dass ran up to the auto to fetch his son.But he was not there...
Mr Dass did not know what to do. He was sweating profusely ..

He ran up the kidnapper to see whether he was alive . He checked his pulse and heart beat.He was dead for sure.. He removed the mask that the kidnapper was wearing and gasped for his breath.He could not believe what he was seeing .

He had just killed his son.!!!

Relief at last....

There's no other tension compared to the tension of waiting for CA results...
& I Passed...& just passed...PE-2 first group...

I know I have 3 more papers to clear Pe-2... but I have surely crossed a hurdle..

Oh..Watte fun..!!

"Vivekananda college" , people say is one of the strict colleges in chennai...But we the 'BCS gang' always find a way to 'escape'...

I'll try to explain that better...
hmm... ya..maybe...I'll put it this way... We the 'BCS gang' are probably the 'FRED & GEORGE' of vivekananda college controlled by 'Umbridge'.... !!! ( a pity good explanation i think...??) ..

There's lot of hangout's around our college .. the Beach... INOX..,Satyam..,Park...etc etc... How could u resist the temptations of these hang-outs while sitting in coll... So this video put by 'Butty' shows the places that we have frequented during the last 2 years.. this video explains the 'fun' we have had... Iam sad that my coll life will be over after this year....

Enjoy the Video...or may I say the slideshow... Most photos were taken impromptu to capture the emotions accurately...



P.s .In case you are wondering why I am not part of most of the photographs..., the answer is in the 'credits' that comes up at the end....I am 'THE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER' .or that's how the boys call me...lolz...

Passionate about Taj ? think again .

Did you recieve this SMS ?

"New 7 wonders of the world are going to be announced on 7.7.06 .Tajmahal is only in 10th place . only 3.5 crores votes recorded .Egypt pyramid already selected . so only six places to be selected out of 21. we have 100 crores population , so please type Tajmahal on your mobile and send to 4567 , it charges only 50ps.. please forward to all.. be a true indian.. I registered my vote .. please you do that. "

I do not get the point . Several questions arise...

1) Why there is a need for selecting new 7 wonders ?

2) Why restrict only to 7?

3) If a monument is not selected ,then does it mean it is not a wonder?

4) Why sms and internet voting ?( especially since people are gonna be region biased)

5)Why can't the jury themseleves select the 7 wonders ?

6) Why do you need Bipasha basu and etc... to promote the event ?

7) Why is A.R Rahman fallen prey to this fuss ?

I ask the following to persons who have already voted for Taj .

Think.. & answer yourself .

1) Do you know anything about the other 20 nominations ?

2) Did you try to know the profile of other nominees from http://www.new7wonders.com/ ?

If your answer to above questions are ' No ' . Then you are not patriotic but India biased .

As Indians Try to be different. If you wanna vote ask yourself honestly

whether Taj deseves a place in that "7" ?

And remember Regional bias is not what true patriotism is.

I need not prove that I am a true Indian by sending an sms in favour of Taj .

A spree of good things..(4 myself,Nation& England)

8) Hooray , Becks back in form.... ( balls curling and swirling again)

The Escalator

Sunil got the news that he has been waiting for. His company's tender has been approved by the Railway Ministry. He and his company are now responsible for installing escalators at four of the overhead metro railway stations in chennai within two months .

Sunil desparately needed this Rupees 10 lakh contract to revive his company that has been in hibernation for some time now.Sunil picked up a piece of paper. He began to write ...

Contract price = 10 lacs

less:-
Steel & Rubber = 2 lacs
Labour = 1 lac
Friction foot grip = 1 lac
Electronic Items = 50k
Emergency valve = 50k
Reverse up/down = 10k
Miscellaneous = 40k

therefore , Profit = 5 lacs

He smiled...

He at the beginning expected a profit of 5 lakhs . He thought he had achieved it. However his happiness was short-lived. He almost forgot that he had already paid around Rupees 1 lakh(underground) to railway officials in order to get a firm grip on the "Overhead Metro Escalator contract ".He himself knew that '1 lakh' was the only reason that secured the contract in his favour. There was nothing special in the tender. Dissapointed he picked up the paper and continued...

less:- Bribe
Contract charges = 1 lac

therefore , Revised Profit = 4 lacs .

He hated the word bribe.

A month passed by . More bad things happened.The Inflation in the market soared up the prices of Rubber and steel . They now cost him 3 lakhs. His profit was also the same figure now.
He wanted a profit of atleast 4 lakhs. He had to compromise on quality. He thought that no one would either notice or be affected by these faults since the metro rail was having a poor patronage.

He decided to dispense with "Emergency safety valve" which stops the escalator immediately on accidents and the "friction pattern foot grips" which prevent the sarees's , slippers from getting stuck in between the moving staircase.The installation was complete and only 2 days were left before the escalators were dedicated to the public.He would recieve his payment 5 days hence.

A day before...
Sunil went to test check a escalator that he had installed.The station was deserted. He climbed up and down & was immensely satisfied with its performance. He was happy. This happiness made him to act childish. He began to climb up the escalator that was moving down. "A good exersice for obese people like him" - he thought . Every time he was up 5 stairs he would be down again. In desparation,he tried to skip every alternate step and reach upstairs. Unfortunately while doing so , his shoes got stuck in between the moving staircase. It was pulling him inside. Fear gripped him. He screamed for help.No one arrived. There was no emergency valve which would stop the escalator.His feet got cut. He was in pain. Within seconds the staircase collapsed at the bottom. His body was smashed and the escalator stopped . It was too late. He perished.

The 'Escalator' had escalated his soul to the heaven or maybe hell(???!!!).
