It is great to have a cup of tea inhaling fresh air gazing at the beautiful mountain behind my home. . With a single 60 watt bulb and the lonely satellite of our planet to light it up, the terrace is the most beautiful place of our small home . We are barely a kilometre from the foothills of the mountain,which houses a lonely temple at its top. 10 years ago, there was hardly a green patch in this gigantic mountain. Thanks to the efforts of  jakki vasudev, the mountain has turned greener and we no more feel its radiations during hot summer. In ten years time, I am pretty sure that this mountain becomes as green as any hill in Yercaud. It is very hard to accept that I have to leave my hometown in three or four years time.
I am just wondering what sort of creatures those non returning Indians are!! It is shocking to know that 80% of Indian students going abroad for studies never return back to India.  How can they miss their homes, their families, their loved ones for the sake of stupid careers? What sort of bloody satisfaction do those American dollars and British pounds give them? What makes them run blindly behind money ? What are they going to achieve in life by means of huge bank balances ? Leaving their aged parents in loneliness and not attending them even during their last days, what really drives them is quite a mystery.
Only donkeys can eat paper money.

This single letter is going to be so influential in my career and life. The Students Quality Club is pretty interesting. The concepts of Quality , and the joy and pain of team work kindles the flame in me to become a leader. Even if I had been a member of some other club or forum, I would not have had this much satisfaction.  I feel like am at my school with my people when I enter this SQC building. Thanks a lot SQC!!

Despite a very long travel , poor organization and a worse food crisis for vegetarians, goa IV is certainly one of the best things in my life so far. A terrific rain in goa, saturday being a holiday in the oceanography institute(our iv spot), the DJ nite at cruise , the restaurants which price beers at Rs.15 and water at Rs.20, the beautiful train journey along the konkan coast , the mind blowing journey standing at the steps of the train,screaming something. yelling O's and Aaaaa's for almost everything. ( My favourite one was "EF batch attu figure ku oru aaaa podu") , watching Narasimma movie in bus, going for a trekking and reaching the top of a hill to have a look at the centuries old caves, shooting of narasimma-2 with anand sir and sayeed sir. Hmmmmmm.. These 5 days will never come back again in my life.

He is the great man who stood up against almost every hurdle in his life. His poems can guide you in times of difficulties and when your confidence level is low. I can proudly say that I have read the works of this great Indian. Thanks to puducheri Government which has come out with a website in his name.I have no qualification to speak about this hero . Have a look at

India's first cabinet

 The first Indian cabinet formed on 15th August 1947 consisted of the following members,

Jawaharlal Nehru - Primeminister; External Affairs & common wealth- relations; Scientific Research

Sardar Vallabhbahai Patel - Home, Information & Broadcasting ; States

Dr.Rajendra Prasad - Food & Agriculture

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad - Education

Dr.John Mathai - Railways & Transport

R.K.shanmugham Chetty- Finance

Dr.B.R.Ambedkar- Law

Jagjivan Ram - Labour

Sardar Baldev Singh - Defence

Raj Kumari Amrit Kaur - Health

C.H.Bhabaha - commerce

Rafi Ahmed Kidwai - Communication

Dr.Shyam Prasad Mukherji - Industries & supplies

V.N.Gadgil - Works, Mines & power


PS:It took me a lot of googling to get a list of India's first cabinet ministers and the wikipedia does not have any record of India's first cabinet. It is an irony that even the official website of the Indian Government www.india.gov.in has no record of these greatest Indians. It does not feature even a photograph of Raj Kumari Amrit Kaur( first woman cabinet minister)!! It is highly worrying that the Indian Government is not properly utilizing its website. It is important that the moments of post Independence Indian history are properly recorded, and its heroes are properly recognized. Else the future generation may never learn about the architects of India.

Henry Ford:

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

Love you

Smiling faces , guys who wake up as early as 11 o clock in sundays , bathroom singers , people speaking over mobile phone for hours together , long queues in atm , even longer queues in canteen ,  people who always walk alone saying a half-hearted hi , couples in front of gurunath who mostly spend their time in silence,  ten people trapped in a small hostel room , making fun of (almost)everything , laughing for no reason , silent tears , violent birthday parties , the most polite RC's , the majestic red building which looks like an old fortress , the colorful Techofes , weekend outings, lunch time comedies , sleepy classrooms , vibrating mobile phones , late night studies which extend upto 3 o clock at times.

CEG has imparted an amazing self confidence in me. I have given up any sort of negative thinking. A cowardly guy from salem has got transformed into someone who is ready to face anyone , and to conquer any part of this world. The sense of social responsibility which my college has imparted in me is going to make my presence felt in the part of the world where I live. I have found a purpose for my living , and have gained friends for lifetime.

I want these two years to move as slowly as possible. I don't want to get out of this heaven so soon. Love you CEG
