Booscuthalaa - Untying the Knots

When I've made a list of people from my school, I think it's fair to do the same for my Under-Graduation at CEG as well: So here it goes! Though this post may be of little interest to non-CEGians, I think it's important to record my memories of these people here. Unfortunately, I can't recall some of my lecturers' names. If any of you CEGian readers can, pl. let me know. Semester 1: Maths 1 - Dr.K.C.Sivakumar (now in IIT M) English - Dr. Chellamal (she's not there in CEG now, however I dont know where she is now) Chemistry - Dr.Karunanidhi (he was such a terror!) Physics - Aruna Ma'am Engg. Mechanics - Mr.Senthil Kumar (I just recalled his name!) Computer Practice Workshop Semester 2: Maths 2 - Dr. Radha (now in IIT M) English - Dr. Chellamal again.

For the past one month, the SpicMacay team at IIM B has been working hard to make Yamini 2009 a grand success. Being in the first year, this festival is my baby and I would be immensely pleased if everything went well! Right from the beginning, it has been a great struggle to organize Yamini this year. However, this is what has made the process equally interesting as well. Every company dreaded the word 'sponsorship' this year, thanks to the in-progress recession. From that kind of a start, we have truly come a long way today, with the event scheduled tomorrow evening. The festival goes on the floors tomorrow, 25th Jan, 2009 and the place to be is the beautiful OAT at IIM Bangalore . Yamini 2009 will feature the following artistes in the order given below: Ranjani and Gayatri - Carnatic Vocal (5:30 pm) Mysore Brothers - Violin Duet (8 pm) Urmila Sathyanarayana - Bharatnatyam (10:30 pm) Pt. Ronu Mazumdar - Flute recital (1 am) If you're put up anywhere at Bangalore a...

This is a breezy song from Vaaranam Aayiram that all Tamils around the world must have heard of by now. This is my attempt at singing it. Click on the hyperlink below to listen to it! Mundhinam Paarthene

As I type this entry, Mumbaikars are filled with trauma. This has been the nth terror strike on this city and it just doesn't seem like these attacks would stop anytime soon. Today, the fear has spread to all cities in India. Every city in the country has proven vulnerable to such attacks. I personally feel that nothing but their own realization can stop these people from these indiscriminate attacks on the lives of innocent civilians. 26th Nov. 2008 has unmistakably turned out to be another Black Wednesday for Mumbai, or should I say for humanity!.

I vividly remember those days back at Vikaasa in Madurai, when I was asked to write a composition on Rainy Day. I used to be really bad at writing essays then, in Class 4 and 5. Somehow, I could not get myself to be as creative or imaginative as Mrs.Menon expected me to be. One very popular topic used to be Rainy Day. What do you do on a rainy day?... Let me think about all those rainy days I've been through so far. At Madurai, the year we moved into our newly built house, it rained cats and dogs and the entire locality was flooded. Obviously, power cuts ruled! Nothing to do, .. it would be me, my sister and my grandpa, playing a game of cards and enjoying the deadly silence around! However, i dont think I always enjoyed the rain. Power cuts annoyed me big time and somehow, wherever I've been, the EB guys dont seem to like me. Even later in my life, when I moved to Bangalore to work, there would be floor-sensitive and house-sensitive power cuts! Really gets on my nerves at time...

I stitched a suit for myself a few days back. I somehow think I look funny in it. Getting used to it very slowly. Thank God it's Bangalore. I cannot imagine wearing this outfit in Chennai even in December when the temperature is just above 31 C! There are so many forms to fill, so many quizzes to prepare for and a lot of fun as well, with Vista coming up very soon!

This post is just to serve as the break to the long break that I had taken from blogging. However, this doesn't in any way mean that I would now start blogging with renewed vigour. Am at Chennai till June 20th, just lazing around. So, I do get ample time to spruce up my blog and will surely do that. Will be back with something I can really blog about.
