My Hostel Life

Upcoming days will be the hardest for engineering students who started their UG in 2011. Pursuing engineering itself a hardest thing but I would say after completing the final exams, leaving college and vacating the hostel, is the most hardest and it will create a vacuum in your heart.

Many of my friends told me that they didn’t had best moments in college and it won't come like school life. I too agree, nothing can be like school life and school friends. But, when it comes to enjoyment & immeasurable happiness I would certainly go with Hostel Life. Except food, you can’t find any faults here. Nothing can be 100 percent perfect.

Thought to say many things about Hostel life and prepared a list in a sequence. Mean time heard an audio of “Araverkaadu by Prabakaran Natraj”, in his own style he described hostel life beautifully. I recommend all hostellates to hear the audio

My First Year Room

I don't want to sound like a broken tape. So, I just wish to confess about my hostel life. Everyone out there knows about me, they can find out whether am lying or not.

Old Hostel Mess

My first year in hostel is the best. Had best roommates and environment. Due to my faults, I missed them and will feel for it ever (stopped eating chips for few days after that incident). In second year, new hostel, new roommates, new environment but I didn’t had my cup of tea there. I don't know whether mistakes are mine or not, it happened. I know I had hurt many of them, at those times I was left with no other option than vengeance. Though I want to mention few things particularly, my heart says me to do reverse, just to avoid controversies. That’s the point in my life, I started to analyse myself and managed to right most of my faults. It’s precious for me, I had learnt many things, it changed me and helped to shed my “angry young man“ tag. Thanks to all faults, done by me and others, that helped me to transform as a better person. If someone patted on my back for acting like matured, full credits goes to my hostel life. Then comes the final year, felt like a Lion in its den. We can have two kind of happiness. One is enjoying by ourselves. Second one is by seeing others enjoyment. Most of the times, I prefer second one due to certain principles I’m following. Believe it or not, damn happily lived.

We can cherish on our happy moments for long period, but  some moments needs to be settled down sooner and shouldn't carry with us long time. These things doesn't mean that, I wasn't enjoying my hostel life. Even the most happiest person in the world will also had some patches of sadness in his life. Instead of telling, we did that, we went there, blah blah blah.. i felt telling how hostel life changed me will be a great compliment for the time I spent in hostel.

If the place which is filled with happiness and full of angels to make us happy is said as heaven, then I will say I lived in heaven for four years. Initially, I said I don't wanna sound like a broken tape by repeating the same things, but I failed, only thing coming in my mind is "will miss my hostel life to the core", it's really hard to get some words. 

Doesn't know how to conclude, definitely will pray for all you guys to reach greater heights in life.

Keep Smiling :) Stay Blessed :)

Tear Filled Eyes

Thought it'll be just another day in my diary. But, it turned out to be the most memorable day for all of us. It’s around 3 pm after completing all our works, I have been asked to initiate the proceedings. I don't know what to talk. Simply stood in front of my class. After gathering some words, started talking. Slowly got a bit emotional, tears filled my eyes. As I don't wanna cry in front everyone, stopped my speech in couple of minutes after proposing the idea of having get together at least once in a year. Once I got down, one after another occupied the stage and talked about their college life and friends circle.

I slowly started to think about how I started my college life. After completing the inauguration function, my parents left me in hostel and I was standing with tear filled eyes and waving them see you. From day one to last working day, we have shown college what we are capable of, made everyone jealous of RIOGA’12 and I don't wish to talk about what happened in next years. Went to every problem, without knowing what the problem was, only to show our unity. Fast mode walk to protect ID card, ecampus, attendance, quadrangle sights, our KG Force, security whistles, camera threats, aptitude training, record works, placements, projects and many more. Side by side, everything passed like a flash, while hearing my friends’ speech.

Some of them moved and melted me specially Niranjan, Deepak, Jairam, they spoke their heart out, Kuralarasun too. Not only with Kural, I promise that surely I’ll will be in touch with all of you and disturb you guys by sending my blog post links and will torture to read it. Have to mention one thing here, if someone says my writing is good, the whole credit goes to my school friends. Except my sister, no one knows in my family about my capability of writing blogs, stories, and verses. Without my friends, I’m just of mirage of myself. So guys, if I goes next level, your role will play a major part in it.

My college life won’t get over if I didn't mention three of them. Firstly Mech B boys, for their continuous love and support, though I was not with them for past three years. Next, my class advisors, teaching and non-teaching staffs, lab technicians. There may be some misunderstanding between us, but we can’t ignore the fact that they supported us in one way or another. Finally, wanna say a big thanks to my team “Team Beyond” for their love from day one to till now. Will miss you all.

Simply in two lines, “My college life started with tear filled eyes for missing my family and ended with the same tear filled eyes by thinking of missing you all”

Till now, I shared something about my college life and there is one more world, where I enjoyed thoroughly and emotionally attached. May be some of them didn't enjoy their college life, but I can proudly say each and every one had their best days here. That’s our Hostel Life. Will come with fresh post about my Hostel Life Experience.

I have attached the link of the song named “Vaada nanba” made by my friends. Please do hear it and support us. Finally, I wish to thank Arun Prassana Raja for his memorable work and Christopher Charles for making the evening so special. Miss you all, seems like ordinary word to express. Anyhow I have to say, “Miss you ALL buddies”.

Me Too a Virtuous Villain

Thought to write some interesting things, but ended with something personal. Asked some of my friends, whether to post this or not, as it goes emotional. Couple of them enquired about  my condition and then, there's is one person, who didn't care about the content and just appreciated for portraying what I thought/felt in a clear manner. That gave me a gut to post this and if I you felt I had wasted your time, early apologizes.One more reason for publishing this blog is during my 80's, it will be funny to recollect how I was in my early 20’s.

Don’t know what happened, for past few days I'm feeling like sinking. It’s never too late to find me back, but to find, the price I have to pay may be something large. If I tried I can live without those things, but not myself. Also am not that mad to lose something equally important and get myself back. During these sort of situations, I wish to have a time machine, to place myself one year back. Just bewildered. Last time, I wished to have time machine for writing my 12^th exams once again.

Everyone knows am a short temper, only when they tease my favourites. But now a days, getting anger, irritated, behaving like childish for silly reasons. Childish may not be the apt word, but I don't know, how to portray me in best possible way. Thinking of unnecessary things and getting worry over those issues, weren't in my diary. However I'm getting used to that. It’s not that am I won't lie. I too but only to prank my friends. On other issues, I never play or lie to anyone, since it may hurt their feelings. Now a days, lying to my close ones becomes a habit, for my beneficiary so that they won’t get disappointed.

When I rewind, the people would say some nice qualities defines me. I can feel that am losing those one by one. Staring at mirror and seeing how I have transformed, is worse and acting to others like being normal, is far worse. While some of them thinking me as benevolent, the truth is just opposite. I didn't say I am that much bad, fearing that I may change. Those were the days, where my friends come with their problems, ask my suggestions to overcome it. But these days, I stand solitary by losing my way.

While thinking about all my negatives, at somewhere, at some corner, realized at least I can identify my flaws, feeling shame on myself, and thinking how it will affect others. There are some others, who doesn’t even bother a penny on others. Also there are people, who are far better and living like a Buddha/Jesus/Teresa even these days. It’s a human tendency to look upon people who are imperfect, when we are not that Perfect. It's not am the only one going through this phase, I expressed and others didn't.

Finally, I consoled myself, “Don't worry Parasu, a part of you is still good. You will find a way to get rid of these things and discover yourself back”

Only line came to my mind while writing " Neenga nallavara ?, ila kettavara ?"

Keep Smiling :) Try to be true to everyone :)

Days in Velayudhampalayam

I would like to share one of the episode from my life. Who knows, this may be the first stepping stone for my autobiography ;)

Like every engineering student, I too need to do my final year project. To be frank, I had no other choice. Where on the earth, I can go other than project centres. Many of my friends planned to do their project in Industry. So we too tried and with the help of my friend's relative, got the opportunity to do my project in TNPL, Karur.

Four batches from my college doing the project in TNPL. Some of my friends stayed in friend's home. We totally seven members shared a house in Velayudhampalayam, a small town near Karur, as we had to be there for a month. One day prior to the reporting time, we went to Karur. 

Initially I felt like a fish out of the water, as we had water problem for both drinking and bathing. Though I was staying in hostel for past three years, I didn't faced a situation similar to this. Contrary to my friends, I am a bit reserved character, so initially I felt like out of my element. But later on, found my feet's there and had many boyish funs.

I had visited my grandpa's home for vacation, but that doesn't even longs for 10 days. This is the first time am staying in a rural place for a month.

Beyond my thoughts, I lived the life of Riley. Starting from bathing to sleeping, we made use of the every resource available. First time ever, went to night show for movie. Felt the night breeze and chillness, while moving in bike (triples) at 2am. Tried to reunite my friend with his lover. Played cards till when we felt to sleep. Still the night walk we had at 3 am remains fresh. First time bathed in river and had the time of my life there. Fishing becomes the part of our life. Visited Lord Murugan temple for "Thaipusam" festival and got the opportunity to pull the temple car. Captured awesome sceneries from top of the mountain. Went to friends home and had heavy lunch couple of times. Also I have to say, learnt few things regarding project. Got the industrial exposure and came to know how the works will be done in an organization.

In between all these enjoyments, also experienced few more things. One day, I went to temple near the place where I stayed. An old man, enquired about the purpose of our visit and blessed us. I had visited many new temples in Coimbatore, no one had ever bothered me. Enquiring about us doesn't a matter, as everyone would be curious to know about the new people in their locale. But an unknown old man blessed us in the same society, where many others are waiting to see when our rivals will fall down.

We have to walk nearly 300-400 meters to have food in good hotel. Whenever I was indolence, I used to go to a street side hotel, where Paniyaram available. I paid the regular visit, so developed a good bond with the lady who running the shop. One evening, when I went to have food only 10 paniyaram available, and it was bought by someone else. She asked me to wait for some time, so that she will cook more paniyaram. At that time, landlord of the shop came and asked her to parcel paniyaram. She said that, first she will parcel for me and then only for him. She need not have to say like that. If she asked, I will wait for some more time. There are some shopkeepers, who will make us to wait, and keep doing things for their regular customer. This lady at the other side, made her landlord wait, only reason was he came after me. People out there don't show any priority, that sounds good to me. This is one more quality, I found in them.

There was also dead happened near the house we stayed. Right from morning to evening, the street was filled with peoples. Speakers were kept all over the place and continuously they played songs. This is the rare scene to see in our city side. Many people won't attend the death scenario, as they have to bath after coming from there. Life is going like this in our area.

These are small small habits that are counting worms. I felt these sorts of humanities are dying with our previous generation. Don't know what to blame or whom to blame, but ours and upcoming generation have to learn the morale of life from our predecessors.

There are many more things, I wanna share, but don't know how many of them will read till this. Atleast I want everyone who are reading, to learn what life teaching to you rather than getting confused with those stuffs. Not only I enjoyed the most but also learnt various lessons to be the better person from where I am.

Keep Smiling :) Stay blessed :)

Try to be Unique

You guys may doesn't believe, but you have no other choice. Yes I am back,  I guess what I had told in my previous post, working out very well.

This time I'm here to discuss about a vague topic. One have to understand the difference between study and learn. Few days back, read in newspaper that state rank holder in 10th died committed suicide, as can't study 12th , due to the pressure. No words, Paining.

These days many people, mainly Indians, hesitate to learn. One drawback is, right from the start , we are just following. I think that's mixed in our blood, we didn't create or tried to show our identity to others. That's the part we are lacking in our life.

I can't criticize anyone, being myself  following others footsteps. Tell you the simple example, though I know about blogs, I didn't create my own, until my friend started one. I haven't shared about my blog to anyone. When my friend said he got 1000 views to his blog, I enquired him about it. He said that he personally asked his friends to see his blog. After that only, I too shared it with you guys.

Engineering was the hot cake few years back. In some families parents stopped their education after schooling, when they see people who did graduation and settled in life, they too want their children to be like them. Engineering give you quick money, thus everyone wants their children to do it. After 12th, children too don't have any idea about future. Only thing visible to their naked eye is Engineering, due to the mass image it had. So, when parents too asking them to choose engineering, by mentioning some local names, how they settled in their life, children had no other go. They fell as prey for their parents desire, without knowing what's it all about. 

Just studying in book doesn't give you the life, you expect. If that's the case, pretty sure I will get brighter one. Jokes apart, we have to learn what is life. Life gives you room to experience all sort of feelings, you have to learn a thing every time.

This doesn't mean you don't have to follow a person. We can have a role model and idolize him, unless you lose your identity. All started following cricket, tried to become Sachin, only Virat emulated him. Even born child knows, how Virat idolizing Sachin. But he didn't follow the footsteps of Sachin. You can find out many differences between them. He knows people are blaming him for his aggressive behavior. Like dhoni, keeping his head cool is not the big job, but he doesn't. This shows his character of never lose identity.

Starting from simply thing to life changing event, we are not showing our uniqueness. We are discussing about the majority. From 120 billion, we can count in fingers who are unique in their own ways, that's not the big deal. Getting fame alone doesn't matter, I don't know how many of them heard about Arunachalam Muruganantham,( for info about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunachalam_Muruganantham ) a Tamilan, who's not known among our fellow people, got recognition from TIME magazine as a the 100 Most Influential People in the world, for being unique. There are many people like him.

Satisfaction and Success comes to the people who show their Identity. It may take time to reach success. Till then we can be proud of ourselves for never backing out from the race. To tell you in more understanding way, be 1 in 10000000000000. 

Keep Smiling :) Never Lose Yourself :)

Keeping Promises the hardest thing ever

Hope everyone remembers me . If you guys were about to forget me, am here , posting my next blog, to tell you all about how I kept my promises all this month.

Despite my semester , I promised you that I will post at least one blog per week and you all know how I kept my promise, by posting my next blog after a month.  Its not that I completely forgot to write. Got many ideas on what to write, later sticked to write about Sachin, as his one year of retirement came on Nov 16. Then, planned to write an article to blame Sachin.

Yes, you all read it correct I wished to compose a post to blame, my idol, Sachin. Blaming is different from abusing. I want to blame him for many reasons, firstly for detached me from the sport I loved since my childhood. Next, he's the solo reason for the growth of cricket in a country where hockey is a national game. Many of them blaming cricket as it overshadows the other sports, but the truth is, Sachin is the person to blame for influencing the crores towards the game.

Leave it. I am here to talk, how I kept all my promises. Will blame Sachin in my next blog.

Next thing, before every exam,  I promised god , I will study next exam well and asked him to help me clear the exam gonna happen on that day. Every average student like me will keep this sort of promises.

Promised myself to do many things like visiting the temples oftenly, checking mail daily, involving myself in project works, planned to download some movies, wanna start for gate preparation, blah blah blah blah
Nothing worked out.

You may ask, then what the hell I did all this month, simply just Whatsapping.
I hadn't promised anyone. Sometimes I wonder what's there in Whatsapp, defnitely no one gonna use it usefully, except few. No wonder, the smarty Zuckerberg bought Whatsapp. Biggest and worthiest move happened in recent times. But have to accept that it gives us pleasure and make ourselves engaged with our friends and relations instantly. Feeling more happy and relaxed while using Social Networks.

It seems that I have written more than what I planned. Time to conclude.  Never promise and feel for not keeping up the promises. Just keep in the sub-memory that you want to do a thing, everyone can't do the thing within the time period. Even scientifically it's proved, nothing is 100% efficiency. Applies for humans too, not because its proved by human.

Enjoy every second. Don't look ahead in life. This may be weird. When you look ahead, you gonna feel the pressure. If you didn't believe, just think what you gonna be in future. I'll Wait.


Agreed ?
Atleast 99% of you feel some sort of pressure.This advice kinda thing is only for ordinary people like me.

This time I won't promise you guys, that I will post my next post within certain time peroid or else my mind will keep thinking on posting blog. All this blabbering is the result of one month thinking.

aahaa.. feeling relaxed
Keep Smiling :)

Keep Trying . .

I was not the same person last week when I wrote my previous blog. This time I am something else. Don't know what happened to me or what changed me.

I heard from many successful persons, very little moments will bring the great impact in our life. I guess such moments are just started in my life
.
Every moment has both ends. Every ordinary individual want things to end smoothly. We know it won't happen on its own. We have to plan, put our best into it. Though it's not sure, whether we will achieve it. One thing always reminds high, we tried.

Whatever may be the thing, we have to try. From studies to love to career, unless we try we won't reach the zenith. For this a driving force is needed. That may be anything, we can't assure that force will come with us through the end. As I said it's just the driving force and we shouldn't lose our confidence, when that force left us in the middle of the road. It will turn up in both ways, that depends upon the person. We shouldn't give permission to an external force and ask it to decide on our life. We have to be practical, positive, moreover powerful.

I am just motivated by the force. It keeps me better than before. I can't expect the force to be with me all the time. It's just an additional force, even without that I have to reach my destiny.

Never get tired, when you fail. Keep one thing in mind, you tried.

Keep Trying :) Keep Smiling :)

Where's our Life going ?

Never in my life, I thought keeping the promises made were this much difficult. I always want to share something with all, the tortoise in me making me more lazy than anyone else. So, I apologize to everyone. I will try my level best to post many many Memories, without fail in upcoming days.

In the mean time, I have changed a lot. If truth to be told, I didn't change. I was made to change myself. Everyone born to live. Was everyone are living, they are just having a race with everyone. Do you all know, for what purpose they are fighting with one another ?

MONEY -  a Human Invention.

God created man, woman, trees, oceans, air, fire, land, sky in this world.

Except man, woman, none has emotions.

They have not change since the day it were created.

But we ? Six Sense Greats !

God has given us many things. Still now many scientists has no answers for various mysteries surrounding us. We are not satisfied with those, we created many things, I said MANY things. 

Of course, some of them leads us to Mars !

 Is there any use in it ? 

Who asked you to take a mission on mars, when our very own brothers and sisters living without proper food !

Who want you to search about aliens, when our people living without houses !

There is nothing wrong in knowing, what was going in our neighbor Country, Continent, Planet.

My question - Is that Necessary ?

Spending crores and crores for getting appreciation from other countries, to keep our flag high among the neighboring countries, we are doing this. Really are we in a position to do these things ? NO, is the answer. Everyone knows that.

We are losing our people. We are living in a country where the average annual income is below 1 lakh. It doesn't mean that they are born as poor and they have to live as poor.

I wont ask you to spend one fourth of your property. Help them. Just asking everyone to stop unwanted expenditures, save them, visit old aged homes or any trusts in your area and give those money, that what we ordinary people can do. We can't build houses for them. If every individual participated, we don't need to expect government to do all these stuffs, which is their prime work.

You will smile, when you saw an anonymous smiling and the reason behind is You.

Started some where and ended some where else. Keep patient with me :)

Smile is the gift given by god. Go behind Smile not money.

Keep Smiling :)
