BYE BYE OCTOBER

I am in the last few days of what is probably the best month in my life...The month started with a shock surprise of getting a companion and a ticket for the concert , which is followed by the concert itself.. Till now i cant believe that I have seen Him... I lived a dream..Then came diwali.. As usual , it was colourful and sweetful... Then came Resonance , case study , project,agni and all... Throughout the month i received my second assess papers , much to the envy of many... If at all a month comes, let it be like this october.. Let it teach me the real beauty of life.. Not only to me, but to all my fellow Indians.

"THE"WALI

Its three years since I bought crackers for the festival.... When I speak of diwali, some of you would think of child labors in sivakasi, some of you would think of the recent accidents in the state,some of you would think of the ozone layer, as if your lab air conditioners and refrigerators in home does not harm the protective layer..Those who think so, don't read further...

Those who speak of child labours should first find out the root of the problem.... First they must learn how many children are willing to study , in their present family situations....Can they provide them with 20 rupees per day and food for them...Can they punish the agents who bring child labours to the factories.... Can you seal the factories which recruit children..?? As long as broken families and drunkard fathers are there, these things will continue...

Diwali is the real face of the Indian unity... It shows to the world that we are all happy... It teaches us how to share with our neighbours and relatives... It is probably the only festival, which is celebrated by all the communities, all over the country... We are no more celebrating the victory of good over evil... We are celebrating our pride... we are showing the world that though we are all divided by religion and communities , we all have something connecting us.... This is probably the worst of my posts.... cos, so many things flash across my mind when i think of diwali.. so unique it is..

DEL(L)AY

Everyone in the EF batch has been anticipating this day for quite a long time... Whenever we planned for an IV, some obstacle was on our way... The reasons for the postponement of the so called " one day IV", ranged from unavailability of permission letter to unavailability of bus.... Finally the wait is over today... All of us really had a memorable trip ... Though it lacked the characteristic "o podu" and "la le la la"s , everyone enjoyed it in their own style.. I was happy to be a part of the first bench gang, cracking blunt jokes and irritating almost everyone as usual.... This time, we reserved the last benches for us....

It was a first time experience for me to visit an industry, and when I came to know that it was dell, there can hardly be any reasons for not to be happy...As soon as we got into the plant, we were given some id proof, and were taken to the canteen.. From there we were taken to a hall, in which some senior manager addressed us.. The way he interacted with us made some of us to refer it as "The wonderful part of the trip"..... He thoroughly explained how dell is taking its brand to the people... I realized that some really good thinking was behind dell's success.... Then , as usual , we were taken to the plant... I wondered at the speed with which they were assembling the parts , and was shocked to see the entire system being assembled in a time of less than ten minutes.... Almost everything was automatic, but for the very few manual interventions at some stages...I remembered our physics mam refering to the quote by sujatha " technology is more powerful than swamiji"

All these things apart , one thing really impressed me... Almost everyone in the plant were Tamilians...... Really the special economic zones like this are generating employment for both skilled and unskilled people.... It is good that the Tamil Nadu government is making the right moves in policy making by attracting foreign investments.... At least 2000 Tamil families are benefiting from DELL...

This may sound simple and pretty ordinary.. But, please remember,Dell is just one of the many such plants in the sipcot... !!!

10/11

The day which is going to be one of the most memorable days in my life, provided the rain god shows his mercy on the people of Chennai… The SUPER SUNDAY that I am looking forward for months and years…. The day when the maestro sings ”dil se re…”with his eyes closed and ten fingers on his keyboard……Just when I gave up the hope of going to the concert, as I had no proper companion,the most unexpected call from naveen came, saying that he is standing in odyssey… wow!!!!! God helps me often, now in the form of naveen!!! But, I am not over excited, since this is the monsoon season.. I am keeping my fingers crossed… come 10/11…... till then the number of systoles and diastoles will be on the rise....

NFS(NEED FOR SAFETY)

This is the very first post about my home town... Actually i thought of writing about the city , but my visit to a temple in the car street irritated me a lot.. For a long time ,the city police were allowing the movement of buses only through the bazaar street, which has forced the pedestrians , comprising a majority of women and seniors citizens , to keep off the street ... Yesterday i was shocked to see a government bus making a sharp L turn in the car street... The bus drivers literally seemed careless while driving through the first agraharam... There must be some reason for the divertion of the town buses through the car street, but the police should take strict measures to ensure that the town buses, particularly the private ones, sail through the congested streets , without frightening the pedestrians... Atleast before the navrathri season begins, some steps have to be taken... Else the pedestrians will be put into a huge trouble, when they go for a diwali shopping..!!

GET(H) TOGETHER

WHO OR WHAT IS...........

What is friendship ? Who is a friend ?

To say in my maths sir's style " 10 different people will give 11 different answerrs".. so difficult it is to define friendship.... Generally, a friend is someone who will quarrel with u for one whole hour for a silly reson... he is someone with whom u can talk upto 3 a.m in a hostel room... he is someone who understands u better... a person who can assure u "I am with u" .... who can wipe ur tears.... who can make you laugh when you are in distress... who can think your problems as his problem ... who can correct your mistakes...



And finally , he is one who can make fun of u when u write something like this.......... and say " mokka ... inime blog eludhina setha da nee"....

Thank u my dear friend.....
