Relationships are Divine

Yes, I have got sometime to spend with my blog after a months time amidst my univ exams. Here’s a poem i have written about relationships. The relationships I mean here are the ones I posses with my family and friends…


It looked like a heaven…
The place was surrounded by trees, lakes, mountains, limpid rivers…
There was a palace which had all possible sophistications in it. Serene place to sleep, Ambrosia to eat, Toys to play…
My heart filled with joy and it started to sing a song as loud as it can…
But that happiness was only impulsive. Soon I felt something was missing out there…
I got that! There were no humanbeings except me!!
The joy turned into a melancholy all of a sudden…
I felt a twinge in my heart and the intensity started increasing exponentially…
Oh my god! Where have I got caught??
Where are those tender shoulders which holds me when I need them badly…
Where are those gentle arms that lifts me up whenever I fall and need a renaissance and give me a friendly pat…
Where are those mind appeasing words which makes me feel energetic when I go dejected…
Where are those pellucid smiles which always has one meaning,” we are always there for you ,don’t worry”…
Where are those exquisite souls who are adept at changing the worst lugubrious situations into blissful ones…
Oh my god! Where have I landed?
That was no more a heaven to me...
The palace looked like a bitch’s home…
The ambrosia became tasteless…
I yelled and cried out of agony…
Suddenly I felt as if somebody was shaking me up…
Oops! That was a dream! No that was a nightmare…
I thanked god a trillion times…
Those tender shoulders, gentle arms,appeasing words, pellucid smiles , exquisite souls were all with me .I didn’t lose any of them and at any cost I don’t want them to…
The omnipotent, multifaceted almighty resides in all the relationships, no matter how petite they are…
The nuances and the intricacies makes me wonder and agape many times…
My heart feels an unbearable pang when a sacrilege is done to any relationship I posses. Remember, relationships are divine…

It's time to retrospect

Till now in my blog I have written so much abt SSN College, ME Friends etc. If my BE friends happened to have a look at my blog they’ll difinitely feel bad as I have’nt mentioned abt them in my blog .When Selvam posted articles abt his BE and school friends I started feeling even more guilty abt this.Now It ‘s time to look back my BE days which is close to my heart.In this article I have included so many tamil words so ppl who don’t know tamil, jus ignore it !!!

Easwari College(Easwari womens college to be specific!!!)- A place where I got molded into an Engineer(apdithaan ellam sollikiranga!).I do not know whether I got molded into a perfect engineer or not but I can surely say tht ,there were so many changes tht got induced into me (Definitely gud changes believe me!).I have already mentioned tht ,I have the habit of observing, imbibing and following the nature of ppl if it’s worthy in my previous post named My trip to wynad & luckily I happened to get gud friends . Frm my friends I imbibed soo many gud things.I’ll write abt those gud souls in the next para. Before tht I’ll jus give a brief description abt Easwari coll. Easwari college is located @ Ramapuram(10 mins frm guindy),Chennai. It’s a sister concern of SRM groups. I jus luv the ambience of it. Rays of sunlight can never harm u when u r @ Easwari . (night la yaanu kekakoodathu!During day timelathaan coz of the trees there!!)I did my BE in Electronics and Instrumentation engg.But fortunately or unfortunately I am doing my Masters in Computer Science Engg right now.Tht’s is a diff story .Let’s forget abt it right now as I wanna talk more abt Easwari here !

My friends…. Only gal friends!!! Many have mocked at me for having studied in a gals College. They may be right,but then u see everything has it’s own advantages and disadvantages. I always saw the brighter side of it! We were 59 in r class. We use to enjoy like anything.No matter it’s class hr,Lunch Hr,10mins break etc.(Hmm athu oru azhagiya nila kaalam!)Now coming to the brightest side of Easwari,verenna friends thaan!!! I had gud rapport wth almost every body in class. I have so many nick names there Sublu,Subling, Subli Kutta(I think Subli kutti got slowly changed to kutta!),Subhuls, Subbu.I guess ,i did’nt miss ne thing. All my friends r my best friends.We have pakka contacts between us thro’ r active e-group.Now the description abt my frinds starts….Vidya Subbu- working @ Eurothem Del, She cares for me soo much (even now!!!).Srivi-working @ Wheels India (TVS grp) known for her helping tendency.I like her dad and Mom.Nice persons. Praveena -doing her Main frame course. Lazy goose. When ever I call her I’ll talk to her for some 2 mins and for more than 20 mins wth her father.Very friendly(both praveena and her dad.)Lakshmi .B working in a korean Company .We talk once in a week without fail. Very gud gal(unmathaan lakshmi,nambu!).Vidya Bhargavi(VB) -doing her MS in US, extrovert, very kind natured.Anu- Calm gal doing her MS in US .I meet VB and anu online quite often.Gayathri Jayram working in HDFC. –gud person and very caring.Lakshmi.K working @ polaris, Sudha nathan working @ infy( University rank holder). Veena got married and settled in US.Visalam-got married and settled in Singapore.Geetha working in a software comp @ B’lore. Here’s the Big list ………..Sasi-working @ tata indicom Neela- some software comp, Thirupu-HR, Prathi, Priya,Lavanya-TCS, Nithya-CTS, Prema-TCS,Varsha-Gonna get married and pursue her studies in Canada,Vidya.C-software comp,Radhi and faree r doing their ME @ Bharath college,Chennai.Hey pavai sorry, I forgot to tell abt u.She is doing her ME @ SSN .Yes the same SSN where I am doing my ME.Dhipa(erodu)-doing her ME,T.Sudha,Vidya.M-software comp,Devi bala(Devi bala and Vidya. M r wth me right frm LKG.I guess Vidya joined wth me in UKG!!),girija, AP gals, Bhairavi ,Anureha,Anusha,Anu Chitra,Poornima,Uma,Vinaya,Arathi,the list goes…………

I have some friends in other departments too !!!Sudhakshna-working in CTS.Actually me and Sudhakshna use to go for GRE classes together. We both applied to US Univs , She got admits in some univs but she joined in CTS. Hmmm I did’nt get ne admits(Fortunately !!! I took it this way. As I am happy @ SSN!) .Ramya –Doing MS in US . Roshini(guess doing her MBA in some foreign univ),Sudha-Wipro,Deepa- doing ME-COMP @ SVCE.

Now abt Non Easwarians ……. Maha Laksmi (maha), an idealistic person.Gold medalist,did her BE –EEE in sathyabama engg collg. Now working in TCS. We use to meet daily in the morning in a particular place Ask me y?? Coz……… my college bus and her’s stops at tht place(I know u r getting wild wth me now!!!be cool!!!)Slowly the bond between us got strengthened. She is a gift presented to me by almighty.I have a gud rapport wth her family . I happened to meet some more gud frinds thro’ maha namely meenakshi ,manju and kavitha. Meenakshi doing her software course-very cool person . She did her BE in Vel tech –EIE ,Manju did her BE-ECE in SVCE - Working in HCL.I felt happy when I happened to meet manju @ SSN when she was under going HCL training here…. These three gals reside @ velachery.We four often meet @ maha’s house.I lost contact wth kavitha.It’s high time I contact her .She is also a gud gal.

From all these guys I learnt so many things like how to help others ,be kind both in deeds and speech, Broad minded, Control temper etc. I cud feel the difference between me as a person before joining easwari and after getting graduated frm there.I don’t mean to say I am a very gud gal.(athu than gud gal illanu engalukke theriyummenu solrathu puriyuthu…….)For instance,Once I use to be a short tempered person But now I think ,I have completely got rid of tht attitude in me. Miles to go!!!!!! I know I got to improve a lot to become a perfect individual and I pretty well know it’s very hard too! Let’s see…………

I think it’s time to wind up. Hmm after getting graduated ,I Thought I’ll pursue MS in US,which did’nt happen .Then I thought I’ll do MBA ,I applied to some management institutes.and when I was about to enter MBA, I happened to get admit in ME @ SSN. I never had the idea of doing ME at all!Coz ME was'nt my cup of cofee! U see we can never anticipate abt life.Gud or bad I am doing my ME @ SSN in Computer Science and Engineering now and as I said before I am happy abt it too!!!!

My trip to Wynad...

No hastily getting ready for college in the morning,no rushing and running to catch the college bus at 7.00 A.M,no meeting with Project guides,no browsing ,nothing.... only enjoyment .I tasted the every letter of enjoyment.I am describing about my trip to wynad with my ME friends.It was a three days trip.I thought, i shud share this experience with u all.

Wynad is a hill station in Kerala near calicut.The aroma of happiness stared to emerge right from the train journey. we played so many games like anthyakshari, cards etc..We met r friend selvam's family at katpadi junction.We felt happy abt tht .We landed in Calicut in the morning after 14 Hrs of travel. Then we went to Woodlands Hotel where we had planned to stay for three days. I have the habit of observing ( i'll imbibe and follow, if it is worthy!) the nature of ppl i meet ,places i visit....This way,I liked the hospitality of keralites. We actually had our breakfast in a small hotel coz it will take three Hrs to reach Woodlands hotel from Calicut. I cud'nt discriminate the way the food was served in that small hotel and the way the three star woodlands guys treated us. Awesome.Where ever we went i cud see and feel the same. Hats off to keralites for their hospitality.

The roads were in the form of hair pin bends. The hills ,trees ,the roads gave a healing touch to our minds. I felt as if i am out of the planet earth coz what i have seen till now on earth is a hectic life,busy roads, green less ambience in Chennai( I've hardly visited hilly areas before in my life,believe me!) So wynad appeared as a non-earth ,a paradise!!! yes i am exaggerating a bit .We went to many places like Pukhad Lakes,Idaikkal caves,karapuzha dam, a wild life sanctuary(i forgot the name of this sanctuary .Actually i forgot the names of all the places & i recollected these places frm my friends.U see, i have a very poor memory,i use to forget lil things very easily,my close friends very well know this attitude in me and they use have a tuf time wth me due to this poor memory !),Bana sura sagar dam,soogi pura falls.Every place had it's own speciality. To cite a few, idaikkal caves got formed due to an earth quake some thousand years ago and one can see the merging points of three states Tamil Nadu,Andhra Pradesh,Karnataka.Bana sura sagar dam is the largest earth dam in the country(if i am right .Don't curse me if i am wrong as u all know tht i have a poor memory!).

I shud talk abt my friends at this juncture. we are seventeen members in the class. Three ppl cud'nt come for the trip.Kids of some of our classmates replaced them.We had a gud time wth those kids.All my classmates are wonderful persons on earth,very friendly,caring,loving etc etc... I like all of them .Every body r special to me in their own way.I have a gud rapport with all of my classmates(thanx to me! jus kidding...)Where ever i go ,i get gud friends be it in college, be it in work place(i worked in slash suppot for some time,i'll write about my BE friends,slash friends and other friends some time later).Touch wood!. Hope i continue to meet gud ppl for the rest of my life too!Hmm ,i was talking abt my class friends right? actually in our class we belong to different age group(22-40!!!) but age had'nt been a barrier between us.I wud like to mention their names here.. I'll start wth gals . Punitha- we call her smart punitha ,actually she was the one who kept tht adjective so we cud'nt help it!, very nice person, Gomathi- a gal blessed wth loads of patience,Anitha-modest and gud hearted person, Abi- cute at heart and looks too! vani-pragmatic & gud gal.Thilaga- a gal wth guts to face the challenges in life wth a smile!I really adore this character in her! Then comes the gud ladies ,i call them as mam attached by their names. Jaya shakthi mam-my aasthana guru,sivagami mam-the care taker , kavitha mam- a gud hearted person,bharathi mam-padips yet a humble and encouraging person.we classmates enjoy the maternal care frm these mams at college.we have'nt come across any generation gap probs till now.Thanx to them! Coming to the males section. Hmm...every one r gud ,genuine ,caring and very friendly. Selvam-an altruistic & responsible person, rakesh - instant joke cracker& a gud guy, Thanikachalam sir- a composed ,cool & nice person. Siva Kumar- a person who is gud at heart, veketashwara rao sir and kuppuraj sir are nice persons . Among these guys Thanikachalam sir,rakesh & siva kumar turned out to be my brothers .The rest of my classmates are my sweet,close ,loving friends. We all have gala time at college and i enjoy every moment in college.

To conclude the article abt my trip ,the experience which i'll lock it my mind and will remain there as ever green moments to cherish for ever!(definitely i won't give room for my poor memory here,I swear!).

How Perception Counts In Life....

When my friends came to know about my blog,I was inundated by their suggestions in enhancing it.One of my friend Veena suggested me to post articles in my blog and I found that to be a great idea. Here's my first article in my blog!
Perception-the way we look at things does sometimes play a vital role in life!I would like to share a story which i have heard long back with u.Some of u may have heard this before.Anyways ,this is how the story goes.... A famous shoe manufacturing company decided to launch it's product in an Island. Before launching it's product, the company use to do a customer research. Two of the company's employee went to the Island to do the customer reasearch and got back to the company to submit their research results.One employee said,"Nobody in that Island wear shoes ,so it is not possible to launch our product".The other one said,"Nobody in that Island wear shoes;so we don't have competitors and we can difinitely be successful, if we launch our product there". This is how perception makes difference.The story reminds me of the quote,"Pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity;An optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty". Visualizing a problem in a wrong angle or brooding over the problem can never solve the problem.Coz,I myself use to brood over a failure without pondering about the cause and the solution to the failure. I am trying to change this attitude in me and I hope i get rid of this attitude soon.Ah! it seems, i have taken a detour from the article to introspection.Hmmm,i like introspecting.Okay ,back to the article!My PowerElectronics Professor use to say,"to find a solution to a difficulty/problem view the problem from outside the problem rather than viewing it from inside the problem".Got confounded??I'll tell u an example which can make things clear.when we keep a stone close to our eye , we can see only the stone and the entire world get's hidden by the small stone,but when we keep the stone a couple of feets from our eye it will look smaller.In the same way, the problems should be given a far sight,which will help solving them in a better way.I happened to see a captivating quote in one of the Dan Brown novel named "Digital fortress".It says,"Everything is possible;Impossible takes a little longer".My god! I have written so much of serious stuff!!!Does'nt sound like me right?Ok. ok.. i'll conclude the article with a funny quote on perception."When a man wants to murder a tiger,it's called sport;When the tiger wants to murder him ,it's called ferocity".
