Highlights of my experiences

Let me go straight to the topic. We were in search of a house to stay in Bangalore. Me, Ninad, Kameshwar and Phani planned to stay together. The worst part is that everyone in the group are lazy buggers including me. Me and Ninad start working only when the asses are set on fire, Kameshwar is the most indifferent person I've ever seen. He used give this vague and the most indifferent answer one can give "Anything is ok for me", whenever we looked a particular house and called him to ask his opinion. Kameshwar starts to work only after the burning sensation in the ass crosses a tolerance limit. Phani gives his answer which is always implicit through his expression and some weird sounds to accompany it. He to sails in the same boat with me and Ninad when it comes to laziness, may be slightly better than we both. I think this much of introduction is enough. Now, comes the herculean task of searching a house in Bangalore. It was me and Ninad, who used to go i

It was the last day for one of the my friends Kishore(KD) to stay in Mysore. He thought that by the time he comes back to Mysore again, may be just a few weeks later, most of them would have separated and would have gone on their duties. Kishore had been posted to Chennai and was intimated to join the IBM group on the 17th of june. Let me slightly move to the history of the offer letter. I dont remember the exact date when he was intimated about this. But, as far as I remember, it was during the last week of May, i.e the time when the VTU exams were on the run. He was a little pissed off when he heard that he had been posted to Chennai, because his heart was always beating to stay in Bangalore. At first, when he heard the news, his first reactions were like "99 percent, I'm not going man". On the 6th of June, we had gone on a short distance, short number class trip to Meenakshipura, not more than 15 kms from Mysore. I guess, we were only 10 of them, and all fro

One always realizes the importance of something when he loses or misses it. As many of our friends who were placed in ibm-gbs, had already got their joining dates, they needed to depart from us very soon. On the 17th june, one of my friend KD had to join IBM in bangalore after he had traveled from Chennai to Kolkota, Kolkota to IBM-ISL(USA) and then back to Bangalore. I need to write a new post and will soon do it about the rationale behind the journey and indeed it was an odyssey. For the time being, let me come back to the night of 15th june. As one of my friends, Anantha had met with an unfortunate accident, me, KD, PJ, Shreyas and Shravan had gone to see him in his uncle's place. After coming out of his house, for the first time in his engineering life probably KD voluntarily offered to give us a treat as a farewell. Another most shocking scene that confronted us was PJ had got some money in his pocket and he agreed to share treat with KD. We called Venki and Taki to

It was a treat from 2 of my friends, Athreya and Raghavan, at the Green Leaf hotel, which is one of the famous hotels here in Mysore. Athreya, for his birthday and Raghavan, for getting placed in Wipro-VLSI. We were 10 of us, who had gathered there we waited for 15 to 20 minutes outside, since there was no place to sit, because of a huge crowd, as it was a Sunday. We ensconced, and each one of us ready for a banquet, by 8-30 p.m.. The hors-douevre, entree and the desserts were everything exemplary, not to be surprised as I have already stated of the hotel. The other 8 of us, were least bothered about the bill, since it was a treat. Athreya and Raghavan payed the bill and we all came out bantering each other. It was that time, this weird incident happened. I had parked my bike, just behind the hotel. There is a coffee day, on top of the hotel, and a passage way from the delicatessein directly to the road. I took my bike, and was about to start. Packy, who had come with me j

When his name used to appear in the newspapers or the television just 1 month before, all people used to genuflect him. But, now the minds of the people have transformed after the sex scandal of Swami Nithyananda, what the people call it now, has come to light. Whenever the people see his name, the scenario is entirely different now. They blame him for having indulged in such worldly sensual pleasures, which was not the notion of him, people had in their minds. The people just went crazy and there was an outbreak of a riot near his ashram near Bidadi, just few days back when this inner story was revealed, damaging many of the parts of his ashram. There were rumours that, he has gone somewhere absconding to sacrifice his body in Haridwar, and he has also now released a video to clarify the allegation against him. Well, this blog is not to depict the nature of Swami Nityananda or any other godmen, but in general to describe the reactions of the laity to such so called "godme

This is just a continuation of the previous blog. So, i don't have to give an introduction. Let me start off. AMATEURS IN THE BRANCH: What i meant by amateurs in the branch is that the impression of the E&C branch in SJCE as one of the best in the entire state still prevailed in the minds of everyone. It is because of this, we still had the enthusiasm to study and the subjects were little interesting, at least to me.  Some of the stalwarts lost their way. Let me not go into the reasons for it. One thing is for sure, the lectures were so boring that some of them totally lost interest and the first signs of transformation were shown by K.D and our Sangeetha Kala Vidwan(Anantha). Our first class trip was on its way by November(2007). This was one of the most memorable ones and and entire blog would be needed to express the views on the trip. The main point here is that we had enjoyed to the core. Well, after the trip, it was third internals on the run and ever
