Family trip after a long time

Hey people, how are you all doing? Sorry for this long gap... My brother had come from US and I was down with viral fever :( and then my parents came to bangalore :)

Our first trip was a visit to a hill temple in outskirts of coimbatore - that hill is called Palamalai - even though it was a temple visit the place was a good one. We drove in our car till the adivaram and then from there took jeep to the hill top.

View from the top of the hill showing nearby hills:

Temple on the hill:

Beautiful moon that showed up this way for three or odd days:

Then we went to Trichy - the trip was full of temples yet here again it was a different trip. First place was my mom's side village temple[grama devadhai kovil]. Unlike other temples this temple is only for the people who belong to that village so even though it wont be very small temple we can hardly find people in there coz it belongs only to that village people :) when we went only we were there :). The temple was surrounded by beautiful vayalgal[gives a good feel to tell that in tamil] and coconut trees and has its own pond.

View of the temple along with the trees: A kingfisher on the temple pond:

Temple horse:

Kalai arukkum stage la irukkum nellu vayal:

Then we visited other famous temples like malaikottai, srirangam, thiruvanaikkaval. From malaikottai view of the srirangam gopuram was stupendous.

Train running parallel to a road bridge over cauvery:

Will post a part II for my parents bangalore visit :)

New Venture :)

It has been a long time that i posted something or really thought about something of my own :)

Let me tell u abt a wonderful journey am in.....
Why this journey????
1. It all started with the stupid ideas of my brother to mark our name in the birth town. He did want to make our generations to know that they really had a native :) When i write it, i really mean it..... Though Namakkal is my native i do not see any traces of my family's life there.....
2. We also wanted to make something out of our parents money instead of just inheriting it
3. If we were pushed out of our companies, a place that would promise our future...
4. And above all, to do something to our own people........

The result was a "SCHOOL".... And the education is for kids who cannot afford for convents still dreaming to study in English school.

And planning to name it as Aditi Vidyashram(now it is called Infant's).....

Hope it serves the purpose :)

P.S: The pic above is the collage of science expo held last weekend...., And i really hav a wonderful weekends with them.....

Me

Time: 10.00 am Sunday, 22nd January

Just as I am writing to you, sitting before the computer, thinking of what to write , my mind is clouded with infinite possibilities of what to share with you today. To put it right,in a richie benaiudish way, my thinking is no were near where i am thinking.

I pulverized my neurons, extracting all the juice of it, but failed to find a topic to dwell upon.

Time to get some inspiration . Off I went .....

Time:11.57 am Sunday, 22nd January

Am back to where I left .... still blank ....

Time:12.07 pm Sunday, 22nd January

Here I am , now i have got what to write, and my inspiration a small boy, sticking his thumb into his mouth,walking down the street, without any botheration about the future ,living his life carefree.

Ah how dearly I wish to live like that again ! No responsibilities, no appraisals, no code reviews,no deadlines, nothing at stake, living life as it goes.

Oh oh , atleast i had them time today to think about my childhood , the most coveted days, school and college which am sure, everyone would want a second stint .

'antha naal knyabagam nenchile vandadhe nanbane nanbane nanbane'

indha naal andru pol indamai illaiye athu yen yen yen'

' butthagam kaiyile buthiyo paatile .......

Such is the nature of the world that it has made us slaves to responsibility, money , and has curbed our spirit of free thinking. What ever we do has to be within the boundaries of work,family, culture, society and what not.In an acre of land only a square foot remains for us with the rest occupied by hedges.

@college and school every day was sunday but now, week ends are like heaven. All I want to do a weekends is to be at peace. Dont do anything !!!. Work has made me so.Even the small things which used to interest me @school and college are no more interesting.

Everytime I do something , i question myself "why am i doing this/ , In what way is it going to benefit me?" In the end i keep asking questions and working for my company for getting some figures added up in my bank account. Life has become all money and work, with lesser time to spend for myself.

There are a lot of kids near my house. Every time i see them playing , I long to be one among them. I know, unless something like benjamin button happens, i will not be able to do it :)

I want to be free

I want to fly,roam around the world

I want to enjoy my life

I want to be me....

Dont you?

Noble Novel Approach - Part II

*******PLEASE READ PREVIOUS POST FOR BETTER CORRELATION*******

I left to my aunt’s place. And in this while her dad got transferred to another station and they shifted over. She didn’t inform me about that…she let none know about this. She left me in pain…She left me in sorrows…She left me in utter unhappiness, displeasure and dismay. I cried…cried everyday…cried till I lost all my energy…Every night was a nightmare for me. She haunted my dreams. Every small thing reminded me of her. She was everywhere. She was right when she said, “u still can feel me within deep”.

Someone opened the door. It was her…the same cute looks of an innocent girl…My Greatest Friend…She took her seat and glanced at me. She knew I had been longing to see her. My throat was choking and I had no words…I couldn’t come up with a “hi” or “how are you?”…Finally, I managed to get something out…

“How did u get my number?”

“I know everything about you.”

Then she showed me her diary that contained all my old telephone numbers, my addresses, my e-mail ids, my office address including one abroad. I was dumbstruck as I knew nothing about her…while she knew everything about me.

“Where have you been these many days…hiding from me?? Why didn’t you try to contact me even when you knew about my whereabouts?”

“I wanted to see you as a man…A man of great regard…not only for me, but for the whole community…which you are now.”

I didn’t speak a word. She then told me this…something which I couldn’t digest…something I couldn’t withstand or never expected…

“I love you….and I wanna marry you…”

I didn’t know what was happening around…for a moment I was lost…I didn’t know how to react to this…

“But…why suddenly??”

“I have been in love with you even since school days…”

She showed me her diary…dating 8 years back…I realized how crazy she has been about me. She was in love with me!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it. I wanted to hug her…and tell her that I love her more than anything else…I stood up and sat in the chair next to her…putting my hands around her shoulder…I said,

“You mean a world to me!”

“And so do you…”

Then she searched her bag for something…she took out an invitation and showed it to me…And this was another shock…A thunder which made me take back my hands from her shoulder. It was her marriage invitation…

“I am being forced to get married…But I really want you for this lifetime. For this whole lifetime…”

I hugged her tight…Cried…And kissed her…

*** The beginning of an ending. ***

**********************************************

All rite…now please don’t ask me who this girl is. All the characters in this episode are just imaginary. I have never written this kind of posts. Just wanted to give it a try…Am sorry if it didn’t appeal you…And once again, this is purely imaginary!!

**********************************************

Noble Novel Approach - Signature Shot

It has been 8 years…And I have heard nothing about her. She was lost in the meadows…I thought, she is gone forever. But today morning, I got a call from her. She is out there…and she wants to meet me. She is in trouble…

“Hey Senthil, you are the dumbest and the most idiotic person I have ever seen on earth. How can you be such a fool and an insane to be this stupid?”

Hmm…Yup! These were her words…One of my best pals in school days. She was one of the most caring person I have ever come across in my life. She took every right on me and scolded me to the brim…She wanted to see me as a great personality…She wished I should someday be talked by hundreds and thousands of masses. She…was a gem of a person. I liked her…may be I should restrict it to that now. I never had the guts to think about anything more than that. But at times, the “What If” thoughts popped up my mind…I knew it would be devesting the existing healthy friendship that we share.

Adolescence is when the mind contradicts with deeds. The natural attraction to a person of opposite sex is unavoidable. Well…And I am also a common man to experience these. I admired her. I liked the way she mingled with her classmates. Her softness, humbleness and her shyness to new people and elders is something that makes every person fall for her. And I was feeling so damn lucky to be in close contacts with such a person. She has been the heart throb of my school…Her cute looks was a major attraction for guys. Well and they attracted me too.

After the call I slowly rolled out…My car was with the mechanic. I had to get a public transport. She had asked me to come over to a nearby restaurant. I have never been to that restaurant. I hired a cab and got down at 09.30 AM. She had asked me to come over at 10. But, anxiety and enthusiasm urged me to come earlier. I was waiting in table 11. She said she had booked that table for the both of us. Plainly calm, I was waiting for her, recapping all those olden day memories.

We spoke through telephone for hours together. The whole school was in a way jealous of the relation we shared. The more my guy mates envied me, the more I started enjoying her company and feeling lucky. The board exams were approaching and we were on study holidays. I had to report to her everyday at the end of my study session through phone. And she did the same. We couldn’t meet and I started missing her. I knew I was falling for her and was getting crazier day by day. My exams were primary to me and I did concentrate on them. I had no clue if she really missed me and if she had such feelings.

The exams got over. We did pretty well and were satisfied. It was then vacation time. And I had to find an opportunity or a reason to call her up. I started missing her even more as this time around I had nothing to keep myself engaged. I called her up one day and arranged for a meet up that evening. Extremely private, it was planned along the corner of a dull street. She came in and I was trembling with fear, anxiety and worry. We had a formal talk for a while. Later on…

I told her, “Am missing you millions. I don’t know why, but these are days I really feel like being partitioned from you. And…And I wonder how I gonna put up without you if the necessity comes.”

She said,
“Don’t worry, I will be with you always.”
“Always???”
“Hmm…Always…”
“Always next to me??…within my reach of my eye sight?”
“May be not, but u still can feel me within deep”

I took the hint. She just wanted to convince me. I wanted to tell her that she meant something more than that to me.

“Hmm…yeah! But…yes!...ahhh…I wanna tell you something. Please do not mistake me. I am dying out here everyday without telling you this.”
“Whats that??”
“Well….as you know I like you a lot. And sometimes I feel like dying off without you. I don’t know why. But I really want you for this lifetime. For this whole lifetime!”
“hmm…that means?” “ I am in love with you.”

For a second her face turned pale. She didn’t have any words. A mix of unhappiness and depression…I suppose she didn’t expect this from me. I felt ashamed for a moment but felt much relieved for venting it out. I felt as if I had removed the rock that was lying within me. She turned back, raced her vehicle and was off. She spoke not a word…I never called her then and we didn’t talk to each other. I felt isolated.

A few days later, I had to go out to my aunt’s place far away from my hometown for a month. I knew I wouldn’t be able to call her from there. I wanted to talk to her for one last time before leaving. I did,

“hi”
“hmm…”
“I am leaving to my aunt’s place. Just wanted to talk to you for one last time.”
“Hmm…”
“I will be back only after a month.”
“Ok”
“I haven’t got a response for…...”
“I need time.”
“Hmm…Okie…”
“ “

---Silence---
“Okie. I am leaving. I don’t know if I will be able to call you when am there. So, just wanted to tell you, I am missing you…And am gonna miss you tons.”
“Take care…bye”
“….”
---Beep Beep Beep---

To be contd....

DOES PONTING DESERVE TO BE THE CRICKETER OF THE DECADE?

Here goes another of my cricket posts.

The Latest buzz in cric info: Ponting voted as the cricketer of the decade.

does he really deserve to be voted so?

Ponting's numbers are a bit staggering,agreed.His dominance of the bowlers over the entire decade is unrivalled. He has the fighting spirit and has lead his team to many victories as no other captain has ever done.Its all fine, but are these alone enough to judge 'The cricketer of the decade'. A cricketer most be judged not only in terms of records, but also in his effort to uphold the spirit of cricket.The Sydney test, and the un cerimonious ushering of Sharad pawar,Australian sledging tactics do no good to his image as an ambassador of cricket.Ponting might be the captain with the most victories, but was it the team he formed?The seamless transition into captaincy was possible as it was Tugga who had transformed Aussies into a powerful cricketing force.The second ashes defeat is surely a black mark in his other wise illustrious captaincy.Well Ponting might be the man who laughs in bowlers faces.He surely deserves to be the batsman of the decade but not the 'Player of the Decade'

Kabhi kabhi sapne ke baare mein socho

Out of all the wildest dreams come true, I am naming one of my posts in a language that i thought was totally HIFI for me and was reluctant to penetrate the block although it was right in front of my eyes for so many years. Well, the title by itself suits what i am about to share with you guys. Its simple! Let the eyelids intersect for a moment and let the clock tick. Take one long breath to tell ur mind that All is well... Lay back in ur pushback chairs/wall or just let your mind take the easy chair while ur heart still beats.

What interests me, what makes me feel that I am passing time without counting it, what is that little thing that i love to do but my conscience wouldnt let me to BCUZ i am not paid for doing that; what is that i would like to do on a beach resort sitting on the porch and watching the sea. It need not be something that everyone appreciates or persuades. But ultimately it brings joy to me and I would smile to myself "Arey, you really have grown up so much and still u baawre have not lost the touch or interest...!"

Mine are a very precious and unique collection of dreams on its own. To start with
1. Journalist - specially a visual journalist, as my interest and knack for photography is characteristic
2. Columnist (not a novelist-i tend to over speak) - I cherish writing and I am sure I can assure an audience - althought small, but still significant enough
3. Media & Advertising - This is something that still I fantasize a lot. The more I see these ingenious and savvy ads the more I am inspired.
4. Strategist - I've always felt that my way of thinking braces such kind of a role. It can be on any platform - a starter company, politics. That also kind of tapers my acumen
5. Kindergarten teacher - I adore kids and they paint my town with delight. I get amused so easily whenever i get these small opportunities to acquaint brilliant ideas with them thru sounds and noises as a mode of communication.
6. Photography - Savor this as much as anything and bask in glory when I charge out a masterpiece

These were some of the many dreams that I wish to pursue atleast somewhere down my journey and I shall nail it down on this very own blog when I get to achieve the first of these. I can already imagine what many of my peers out here would include in their wish list - let see, I give them the privilege of revealing it out.

When the going gets tough the tough get going

Right after the sydney test where almost 11 umpiring decisions were given wrong against India, where bucknor was australia's 12th man , where clarke claimed the dropped catch of ganguly and was given out,Ponting & co became the men most hated by the Indian cricket fans.So it is no wonder if Aussies lose a test or odi the most happiest of the lot would ne the Indian fans, and am no exception when it comes to this,though i have a soft corner for cricket Australia and I dont want aus to lose badly,respecting their dominance over cricket for more than 3 world cups.

So when i learnt that australia had been bowled out by pakistan for 127 in the first innings of the 2nd match in the ongoing aus-pak test series,was happy,and pakistan after having taken a lead of 204 in the first innings were the likely candidates to win this match.

The aussie second innings also further added to my joy when the aussies had a lead of only 87 and were 6 wickets down on the third day. I stopped following this match, for i knew the result ,Australia was heading for a defeat.

2 days later..... i search for updates in cric info

result Australia won the match by 37 runs. i was flabbergasted, how come did it happen? was this a repetition of the sydney test were umpires helped the aussies a lot. the answer is: no

It was their fighting spirit that had earned them their victory.Mike hussey who was under the scanner for his poor performance in a string of tests, had scored a century,and was unbeaten on 134 , he together with 9th down peter siddle had added 123 runs to the score taking australia's overall lead to 180 , which in terms of modern day cricket is a paltry score.

pak could have chased this score easily , for they had almost a day to bat ,still they lost.This is where the aussies showed their fighting spirit. I am almost sure, if india was in this situation , they would have surely settled for a draw.
The reason for this victory "Hussey's 134 n.o".
This is what hussey said to cric info :
"It's hard when someone of the ilk of Shane Warne is criticising you, because he's obviously played a lot of cricket and he knows his stuff pretty well," Hussey said in the Sunday Herald Sun. "So it was pretty motivating to try to prove him wrong."
Warne has since downgraded his stance and Hussey said it was great to show up the critics. "Just to prove to him and to everyone that I still can play at Test match level, it's the most satisfying feeling you can get, especially after you copped a lot of criticism over the course of the summer," he said.

The same goes with paul collingwood of england who batted for almost four hours and thus saved the test match for engalnd.

Who can forget rahul dravid and vvs laxman who have been great match winners for india.
It all lies in test of mental strength and character.These are just cricketing examples .There are many examples in real life,who ahve braved all the odds and have turned up successful.

the true test of man's character lies in adversity and now he faces problem rather than circumventing that or running away from that.

ZEITGEIST

well guys if dan brown is about conspiracies and christianity,what would you say about zeitgiest!!! the ultimate collection of conspiracy theories.
The documentary spans 2 parts ,1.45 hrs ea .The sequel to the first part zeitgeist addedum .

Zeitgiest starts with religion , and leaves us with the shocking revelation that all religions are symbolysims to sun worship. and in particular the reference is to christianity. We all know the basic christian story Jesus was born on dec 25 0f a virgin , died at age of 33, had 12 disciples. Well i thought jesus was the only one. But histories of persians, egyptians etc etc have many gods with the same description. Horus of egwas born on dec 25 0f egypt was born of a virgin , died at age of 33, had 12 disciples did miracles. Mithra of persia no where differs from the above description.There are numerous references which are listed by the documentary. Whew after all SUN worship is the ultimate :) and all the stories have deep rooted into our society that we believe them blindly :)
The next part deals with the sept 11 conspiracy and ends with modern money mechanics, the document that was decided to enslave people for eternity .
Zeitgiest addendum deals with money , and how the banking system was designed to enslave people :)

Well guys enough i dont want to spoil the fun of viewing that :)

WATCH ZEITGIEST!!!

Three states....

Guys dont think that this is a sequtel to chetan baghats' two states. This is all about my experiences at the begining of this year.
20 hours continuous of travel
10 overwhelming hours of warcraft

this is how the year 2010 started for me. It was all set for start of 2010,with a team lunch on 31st afternoon. Lunch was over at 3 and and the train which would take me to YAM was at 4. KANDEN KADHALAI tamanna madhiri last minute rushing into the station . These were the preludes for 2010. I sat in the train enjoying the moonlight ,thru the window hoping that the new year would bring back past memories afresh.

After 20 hours of travel I landed in P.S.G HOSTELS the HOME AWAY FROM HOME at 1.30. After putting my bags at one of the juniors room , it was nostalgia, meeting the friends from other departments and chatting with them not to mention the cricket i played with the automobile guys.
Lunch at arrunachalas and dinner with arasu sir at rayappas marked the evening.The funnier part,to be more correct, was the arrunachala menu, which we used to visit once in a blue moon for economic considerations was looking dead cheap .:)

Please note till now i hadnt seen any onr from B.TECH I.T.Then it was chatting with our juniors and the gossip about our college.OUr juniors were discussing about iqube and means of getting sponsors. I asked them to approach the multinational. multicrore , turn over company GOPI TOURS CEO for sponsorship for which they had a hearty laugh and i got a piece of interesting information:our HOD himself has told the students of I.T department not to go for any IV thru gopi tours. Then it warcraft night , with me playing with the juniors.

YAM dawned, met my mechanical, ece,automobile , etc friends not asingle I.T soul in sight. I consignd myself to resignation that no '00' guy will come:)
Meenakshi had come to YAM with here brother :)atlast one I.T . the yam function went on for
2hrs , dunno who was the chief guest:) then we went to the department to meet our teachers. No sign of them as usual the day being saturday.
We met H.O.D who just spoke for few minutes regarding some i.t alumni meet:) then we met chandran sir who was talking about improving i.t department , a talk heard since 7th sem.
BATISTA(Uma madam ) has been removed from the post of course co ordinator and the post has been handed over to chandran sir.
Aprom NATRAJ Sir, for those who dont remember him he is the person with soft vioice who taught us data maining, T.Sivakumar,Senthilnathan ellarukum kalyanam aagirucham:)
Namma lab pinnadi irukura staff cabin ah maathitinga .Shifted near mtech lab:)
Meenakshi has agreed to become a visiting professor for PSG tech , a statement which she told chandran sir for which i bear witness.
YAM , the same routine playing cricket ,warcraft and chatting with the juniors.
Sunday morning it was time to leave, since we did not reserver ticket for the return , we ddecided to take the shorter route cbe-blore-hyd which will take us just 17 hours , a calculation that became wrong due to the efforts of the ksrtc bus and the train from blore to hyderabad.It took us 22 hours to reach hyderabad :)

Sunday morning 630 we boarded the ksrtc bus to blore, and to our displeasure found him stopping at almost all places which looked like a bus stop :) :( no wonder ksrtc is the only gov bus service that runs in profit .

Reached blore at 3 which gave as 3 hours to spend in blore. we were famished by that time and had a good lunch in a hotel near the rstation. Our roommate had booked a tatkal ticket fro our return journey. Taking print out of the ticket we entered the railway station ,boarded the train,back to work after a 3 day refreshing break.

Well if some of our class guys had come this post would not have sounded as monotonous as my YAM experiences.

COIMBATORE-BANGALORE-HYDERABAD , the start of new year spanned 3 states . Now you know why 3 states

Just when you thought it was all over !

Selamat tahun baru. Not sure how to say that in Kullu language. Athaan simple ah malay la Happy new yr wishes.. All of u guys, this is the year that u re a complete independant free from all answerables and previous rack of responsibilities. Now u re onto a new tuxedo which has a complete different set of gadgets and newer face of looks. Yup, with a great package comes great responsibility ;)

I am sure all of u guys had fun in different forms at 31/12/2009 11:59:00. And I am also pretty sure that it was a totally different feeling to be a salaried employee and a responsible individual who accounts for each of his actions unlike a 2005-09 IT student who neither gives a damn about him/herself, nor about the others for what he/she does.

Enjoyment or Immense fun is not necessarily derived from the surrounding, people or material things. U can actually feel wat i say with examples of ur own,.. nevertheless, think about these situations. Sitout at the balcony with cucumber covered eyes nd warm sunshine with some mild breeze... Calm bequeath lush park with just dew drops to quarrel and squirrel to envy and grasshoppers to cope up with... A peaceful walk in a metro city at nite fall where al sounds of traffic and lights of skyscrapers take some rest.. All this and many more such kind of unplanned surprises that nature can giv u are very special, dont u think so?

One such planned but unsurprisingly great experience was my last trip to Manali. Kullu.. Solang Bali.. Gulabad.. Rohtang Pass.. Snowpoint.. Vashisht Temple.. Hadimba Temple.. Club House.. Paragliding.. River crossing.. Horseriding.. Byaas river.. Endru sila idangaluku sendrirunthom. Although these are catalog names and u can find them on any website. I possess special and fond memories in each of these places and will become a fernleaf in my book of magic days.

Trust me, nature has a brilliant package stored in place at every part of this world. When u unreveal them with ur own eyes that is when u realize that u have not tasted every taste bud in ur mouth and u ponder for more such experiences. Life la mothal vaati niraya vishayangal nadanthathu, athuvey pothaatha oru arputhamaana experience endru solvatharku ! Aanalum nammdiam irukum sila nodigazhil sirithu alavu ithu mathiri sthambika vaikum anubavangaluku othuka vendum.

Every now and then, we need such driving experiences to ensure that we dont get a hangover at work or anything that we've been doing for a long time. Now think about this, if we were atleast half less idiots we were when in college we could have had all this fun in much more greater scales :) Well nothing more to say than, 60 idiots - by Kapi Tours :)
