Weird and wonderful…!

This is how I think sometimes. Like the one happened recently while I was traveling alone from Chennai to my hometown. I have seen political parties’ advertisements in the walls of all around the city. Event though I had seen those ads several times I didn’t thought like this. I can found one thing common among all parties, and that is advertising in Tamil only. No English. Of course this will happen in all state i.e. political parties’ ads in their state language only. For making those ads readable by common people they might do this. Fine! Whatever may be the reason at least mother tongue lives there!!

While English came into all kind of scientific inventions and technologies our conversations are unavoidable in Tanglish. There are people who are struggling so hard to save my mother tongue ‘Tamil’. Recently a great show named “Tamil pechu yengal moochu” in vijay TV. Wow! Really a great show, I felt so happy to watch it, there were so many people including college students and I.T people participating enthusiastically. I heard that in Niagara Falls entrance this was written “Varuha! Vannakam!” (Welcome! Hello!) tamil has reached that much height When I was in 10th grade I had a Tamil pandit who always insist us to speak to in pure Tamil. Since then I love my mother tongue ‘tamil’ more. I can listen to your voice as “what are you trying to tell from this?” okay. All these incidents making me to tell to myself that let’s avoid English words as much as I can. But blogging in Tamil is not possible for me

 

This was the statement told by some crazy guy “Tamiluku yethavthu aachuna I will fight for it”

 

One tamil poet wrote this poem

“Intha Kalathu ilainharhaluku,

Tamilum Kathalum ondru than,

Veliye solla vetka padukirarhal”

 

That’s true.

Inspiring Speech

I thought to post this video a long time before. Well this one is the speech by Steve Jobs, Co-founder and CEO of Apple Computer. He delivered an awesome and more inspiring commencement speech to the graduates of Stanford University in 2005. In this video he tells about three stories that happened in his life. This one was recommended to watch by one corporate CEO who came to my college during placement day. Steve Jobs explained how he struggled in his life to reach this position. Really awesome… Watch it…

update: if u wish to read his entire speech instead of watching go here

Bye to college life

My college life came to end on May 7^th. So the life to become an engineer came to an end. When we are writing the last exam at the end of exam time there was a heavy rain in our college. In this hot summer heavy raining!!! It seems us that cloud is crying with us for the end of our college life

canteen coffee, classroom comments, staff kita matama thrillana kadalai, stone bench veti pechu and sightings, vethu project, unreasonable treats, unlimited messaging, o.d gra perula suthurathu, message passing during class hours(faster than SMS), midnight walkings, group chat in the name of group study, browsing during lab hours, onume padikama attend panra internal tests, every brick in the college premises, friends flying different directions…

Everything will be missed….

End of internals

Last week was a great time in college. My university project viva got over, thank god I had done well then model exams started and end on 18th, didn’t prepared anything for that then on that day itself we had farewell officially(we already had a farewell unofficially ). Then yesterday we had placement day, which was conducted first time in my college for the placed students to give away the offer letters in a unique function, as this time in our batch there was a great placement record in my college history(400+). It was over by yesterday noon. So all the internal exams, project got over successfully and everything are memorable. Study holidays started.  Konjam padika try panna num, kastam than, but pass ahanum illa  A nice message sent by one of my friend…

When there is class,
heart doesn’t want to go,

When there is heart,
there is no more class to go,

Tearful End of College life…

End of classroom life

On april 3rd my classroom life was got over. We had lot of fun for the last two weeks. I don’t have any worry before that. But as the days are getting less and finally on the last day(april 3) I felt a lot. Because we didn’t have any fun like that before. So everyone felt a lot. All the girls in my class cried(guys not ) I got matured well in these four years and I got an identity. The project documentation works over, model viva also over. Model theory is the remaining internal headache. Then we have to get ready for the final war(univ exam) in coll life.

Sweet Moments

Gayathri is the sister of Badri. Gayathri is elder than badri, she’s a 9-11 year old girl and Badri is a 7-9 old boy. Both went for a singing competition. Before entering into the audition both were interviewed by the VJ. The conversation went like this.

VJ: Hai! What’s your name?
kids: Gaythri, Badri.
VJ: Coo! Badri unga akka kita unaku pidikatha visayam enna?(Which thing in ur sister u don’t like?)
Badri: Ava enna da pottu pesuva. Athu enaku suthama pidikathu……(She used to call me as ‘da’ which I don’t like)

VJ: Gayathri unaku badri kitta pidikatha visayam enna?(Which thing in ur sister u don’t like?)
Gayathri: Apdi ehuvum illa…(Nothing like that)
VJ: Badri pathiya… ipdi oru akka kidaika ne koduthu vachi irukanum!!(Badri listen, you are blessed to get a sister like this)
Badri: Ellarum apdi than solra…(Everyone telling the same thing)
VJ: mmmmm. ok. Hey Gayathri, badriya ‘Dey naye olunga paditu vada’ nu sollu..(Tell to badri as ‘hey dog sing well in the audition’)
Gayathri: (Telling to badri) Olunga paditu va da.(Hey sing carefully in the competition)
VJ: Hey! nan ‘Dey naye olunga paditu vada’ nu solla sonnen(Hey I asked u to tell like this hey dog sing well in the audition’)
Gayathri: Nan bad words use panna maten.( I never use bad words)
VJ: (In shame) !!!!!!! OK all the best for both of you.

 

 

Then Gayathri went first for audition. Unfortunately she was rejected. Came out with tears filled eyes. But not cried. Then badri went and sung the song ‘Ammavum neye! Appavuum neye!’(Tamil Song) and judges were impressed much so he was selected. Badri came out of the audition theater with the selected card and lot of smiles. His mother wished and kissed him. The tears filled eyes slowly started crying after seeing her brothers victory. Badri saw that and went near to her sister and his smiles were off after seeing her sister crying. He went near to her, hugged her and kissed in the head, wiped her tears out and asked not to cry.

Wow! that was the best awesome, sweet moment that I have seen in competition like this. Event though in the headache of preparing my project documentation this moment made me to mesmerize. What an affection these kids having… I wish that this affection should there be in their life forever.

Farewell Time Memories

I intended to write this as my next post(i.e after tagging post). But vidhya was faster than me. Whatever format I thought to post and stuffs was posted by her. But I have to write. It’s all about my college memories. Just few days to go. The four years of life to become an Engineer is coming to an end. Even though I didn’t enjoyed much here, due to lot of restrictions. I will say that we enjoyed lot at our own level. As everyone saying, for me too it seems just now joined in first year. You may feel bore as this is a long post. If so I regret for that in advance.

· Joined with lot of dreams and wishes in my college. With lot of rules and restrictions than any other engineering college, the first year started. Mixed branches students, new faces, new friends, the first semester went smoothly. Everything seems new. I got my best friend in this sem. Then in second sem we merged as a department. Life was cool in second sem too. We don’t have ragging in our college. So I don’t have any experience about that stuff. And strike? What’s that? We didn’t heard anything about that here…. You can able to assume the restrictions that we guys had in the college. Yep lot of rules. We were not able to enter into college after the working hours started and we were not able to get out of the college during noon or break. For everything they ask out pass. Listen to this conversation.

In first sem on the second day of college one of my friend tried to go out. In the gate the following conversation took place between the watchman and that guy,

Watchman: Thambi! enga pora? (where are u going?)
guy: Veetuku poren! Yen? (To my home?
Wman: Out pass iruka? (show me the out pass?)
guy: Apdinaa? (what do you mean by that?)
Wman: Outpass iruntha than veliya viduvom (You have to get that for going out)
guy: Athu enga kidaikum? (Where will it be?)
Wman: Unga dept office la irukum (It will available in ur department office)
guy: Yaru ta sign vanganum (To whom I have to get sign?)
Wman: HOD ta (To the HOD)
guy: Avaru yaru? enga iruparu? (Where can I find him?)
Wman: !?!?!? arggh… Unga departmentla than iruapar (In your department.)

Then the guy slowly moved inside college… That was the funny situation

I got an arrear in each sem and clearing that in next sem. Starting from first sem this process continued.

· Then in second year I entered into my department building. A promotion as senior We went for IV (Industrial Visit) for the first time. There were problems in the first IV itself. There were lot of co-ordination problems and unity problems. However we managed. Wow the lab hours with tension filled (earlier days only) to submit observations and records were unforgettable. The cracks we shared during the break time between internal tests on the same day will be in memories forever. Got an arrear in third sem as usual . But first time cleared all papers in fourth sem. But the third sem paper started following me. I got some good friends in this year. That was about second year

· Third year started. And here lot of egoistic problems happened. The people whom I believed deceived me. Then I was able to understand my stupidity of believing everyone. In fifth sem I cleared all papers and that 3rd sem paper again followed me While everyone was getting ready for placements in sixth sem. I was afraid that whether I will be eligible for the placement or not. The placements started and in second company itself 16 people in my department got placed. I scared more. ‘Coz I was not able to attend those interviews due to my arrear. Then I got a chance to attend an interview but not cleared even first round. The fear and worry increased more. And the university exams started placements was somewhat over. I was not able to attend remaining companies. And during study holidays I got some more good friends. This is the time I started group study. We a gang of guys will study in one of my friend’s room. The time I was with them was really unforgettable. Our midnight walking in bus stand during study holidays and a cool chat with sip of hot tea at 1 or 2 a.m…. I’m gonna miss you guys. I had some personal problems at the end of third year which are yet to be solved, so I don’t want to disclose it here

· The final year came with good news for me as am eligible for attending Infy interview while still having that arrear. I tried hard to get in infy. But fate plays… I was not able to clear first round in there too. We enjoyed a lot in this sem, like not allowing the staffs to take class much. In particular to say we guys all went to kodaikanal, was really UNFORGETTABLE one. We enjoyed in such a way than in any previous time in college. Then we celebrated the batch day in somewhat a grand manner inside the class. Then on October 2 midnight finally I got placed in a Tech Support Company. Thank god. The words I face in front of my relations and some friends for not getting placed arghhh! No one will ask me those questions again..

Even though I didn’t get placed in a big corporate, I was really satisfied with that one. ‘Coz I only know my pain for not getting placed. At last in seventh sem results by god’s grace I cleared that third sem paper and joined in All clear list So the final semester started with the preparation of symposium. We planned to make the symposium a grand one in the history of my college and done that too. So the project works started and documentation works are going now. Everyone started getting autographs. We are all getting ready for the farewell…. It is such a fantastic and awesome final year that we are enjoying here

Well everyone after the end of college life saying that ‘I didn’t learned anything for the past 4 years’ of course me too didn’t learned anything in my academic books. But I read people, I had opportunity to spend time with people of different characters.. While everyone (including me) blaming strict rules n stuff in my college I really have to thank my college for providing such a world class infrastructure, and such a great technical support with net connection 24/7 and in all system through out the college was really helped me lot to learn many stuffs including blogging.

BTW this is the flash presentation that we played during our symposium for the final years. If you are a final year student just download it and view. You will surely like it… It will bring your memories back and may be tears. (Ignore the warning msg in yellow bar while downloading. It’s just a general warning for downloading a .exe file)

I really have to thank my all friends who helped me a lot, whenever I had a problem, whenever I got tensed, supporting me whenever I failed, talking to me even after having a fight. There should not be thanks n stuffs in friendship. But I really have to thank you all guys. The fun we had, the hurdles we faced, the victory we enjoyed. Am gonna really miss you…….

And thank you readers if you read fully
