Home trip+Isha Yoga+Online training

April 15, 2010 / / 1 Comment

Hi all, 🙂

I had gone on a 3 days trip to home with one of my friends accompanying me. The main purpose of our visit was the yearly festival in a nearby village, where we go and provide food for people ( ????????? )on that particular day. Apart from the enjoyment part, I was amazed by the amount of work those people do in spite of the scorching heat. I could not take my eyes off as they cooked so much food without much facilities. Altogether, the experience was an enlightening one to me, as I often complain even for the smallest of discomforts.

Coming to Isha yoga,I have none but my bro and my dad to blame. My brother was the one who advised my dad to pursue this 7 days yoga course, who jumped the gun instantly. Now, unable to bear the nagging of my dad, I have joined the course. I am perfectly alright with the yoga part of the course. It is the “bodhana” part of the course that gives me the usual classroom feel and I can’t help as my eyelids close, as if the switch is on. They talk about peace,responsibility and stuff which gives a philosophical feel,though it may be true if you go deeper. As of now,having attended 2 days of the class, I keep my eyes open only for the yoga part of the class. Rest is up to ???? I don’t know!!! 🙁

Online training provided by my recruiter – My god! I cannot believe how tedious (or maybe boring, on a second thought) it has become. Initially, I managed with the easier sections. The only mistake that I did was that I took the advantage of taking a break from my regular schedule and went home. Now, I find it very difficult to sit and go through the course and take up the tests. Added to all the stuff,Abstract submission, Report submission etc have come up to give me pains in the neck. To people, who ask-“Hey, You completed your project long ago na? Then you have been vetti all these days na? You could have done these to some extent na?”, I have gone deaf temporarily to such questions. Come on,guys. I was enjoying the last few (?!?!?) days of my college life being vetti 😛

Anyhow, with a tight schedule, I am running short of energy. It is better that I pack up my laziness and get started.

Until later 🙂

Paiya!!!!!

April 6, 2010 / / 3 Comments

Ignoring all the warnings about paiya being a crap,I set out for the movie yesterday with my friends.I got what I deserved.I had to search for the story-line in the movie(There was none till the end). Girls can watch it for the hero,places of nature which have been beautifully presented and guys can watch it for the heroine(If you like her :P) and I don’t know what other stuff in the movie will interest guys(Action,maybe???). Talking about action,I was so frustrated that I felt even Dr.Vijay’s flying fights are better. If Dr.Vijay will lift one man with a hand,Karthi here lifts two. 😉  I was left searching for the car to be parked and then some story…. But,alas,the car never stopped and once it did,the movie was over.The songs and their picturisation provided as much comfort to the audience as the  disturbance  caused by Tamanaa.The song “En kaadhal solla thevai illai” did not seem to meet the imaginations of the audience(Could have been better). Other songs were good. With so many logical flaws in the movie,Paiya turned out to be a typical Vijay movie and falls short of expectations. 🙁

This post is more out of frustration and apologies for having given a review.Again,it’s all my opinion.No offense meant to anyone. 🙂

Mock+Interview tragedy

April 2, 2010 / / 3 Comments

After a long break,I am back…

A lot has happened over the past week.The mock interview organised for our juniors,a dual company tragedy and some usual stuff.

Not to say, the mock interview went on well.I was particularly impressed by a guy’s performance,which was too good(Also,maybe because other candidates were kinda shy) On the other side,I enjoyed well with friends.

Then,a dual company visited our campus. I purposely did not do the written test well,but you know,things happen when you least expect them and I was short-listed. So,I decided to make the interviwers turn me down.The problem was that I actually did not know how to under-perform(Given the fact that, I had never had a chance of performing in interviews,except one which led to my placement). So, I was so scared that I might perform well(What an Irony 😉 ) because the interviewers were not going to go deep into tech-stuff. Finally I managed to say “I don’t know,sir” for everything they asked including a question on Ohm’s law :(. So I was saved from doing a mistake. However till now I cannot get over the feeling of saying “I don’t know,sir” when my interviewer asked this question-“What is the current drawn by a load having 5 ohms resistance and 10 volts of power supply across it?” 🙁

I have nothing interesting at hand for blogging at the moment. Will be back once I am ready with some stuff.

Until later 🙂

At the end of 4 years!

March 24, 2010 / / 7 Comments

Hi people,

The inspiration for this post lies in the e-mail that I received from a friend. The mail was actually authored by an alumnus of MIT who had listed 50 cool facts,addressing freshers who enter college with great hopes. The mail was too good,covering all the stuff that students tend to miss out,considering them to be insignificant. So, here are some of the things that I like to share at the end of these precious 4 years….

1. Having friends is great,but never get over-indulged. This is because when they change,you will be struck by an over-powering helplessness and loneliness. If your friends change, let them and if you want to change for the better,feel free to do so.

2.Enjoy the subtle happenings in college,because one day,those trivia might look so precious,but long gone.

3.Do not worry too much about being sincere. Enjoy small mischievous moments with your friends. Take things sportively-I mean moments like being scolded for late submission of assignments or an incomplete record or a difficult experiment for your lab test 😉

4.Do not strive too much for marks. It is better to strive for knowlegde. Marks and knowledge are totally unrelated.

5.Record your precious moments in the form of videos,photographs etc. because some day,they will give you reasons to smile with tears in your eyes. 🙂

6. Preserve favourite songs of your college life as they might turn out to your ever-green songs reminding the shared moments of happiness.

7.Let go of certain things if needed,though you may think that they are the essence of your life. It’s time to learn to move on.

8.Learn to accept things as they come since nothing is  gonna get better by worrying.

9.Try some risks in life just for the fun of it,but don’t get caught 😉 (I think I have tried quite a few to have a good laugh,anytime I re-live them).

10.Never try too much to please someone. It results in more hurt than it is worth for. 🙂

There are lots more,but these are the top priorities. All of us might have experienced the truth of such ideas at some point of our college life(If not till now,we will certainly do so in this final phase of 1 month). So share these lovely moments with your friends and enjoy these once-in-a-lifetime experiences before it is too late. 🙂

Until later. 🙂

"Life @ hostel"-"Work"

March 17, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Now that I am done with my so-called project except for the final comparing and documenting part of it, I am enjoying the luxuries of life at hostel without any work. The added advantage is that, having vacated the hostel for internship purposes,the rule of “5 hours outing” and other stuff does not apply to me and hence  I am a free bird. 🙂 Also,I am happy that I can get the opportunities of helping my friends with their works in a small way, like helping with their project presentation, the functions they organise being in the final year and stuff. Yesterday was an excellent one- My friends forced me to accompany me to “Vinnai thaandi varuvaaya” for the 2nd time(I already watched it with my uncle and aunt). As I needed them to accompany me for my shopping spree, I had no other go to watch that movie for the 2nd time 🙁 Otherwise, the shopping -Ice-cream @ one of my friend’s brother’s office-Perfect lunch @ Aaryas,Gandhipuram-Running back to hostel for the sake of my friends’ dead line at 7 p.m was a perfect day in my life. All of these for just one more month and then to part our own ways. I am set to enjoy it to the fullest. 🙂

Until later.
