Unexpected Glory :)
First of all sorry guys,its been almost a year since i have posted any content and you may well have forgotten about the existence of this blog,to be honest ,even i did. Recently while i was accounting the number of blogs that i possessed ,i bumped on this one and opened the URL to see if it was still alive. To my surprise it was still there and this is the only one which is not affected by any of the sponsored content. Great! I thought this blog deserved more and hence purchased a domain name for this blahblahblah....
Anyway back to the topic: It was exactly a week before while i was playing FIFA 08 on my console, i got a call from Mahesh stating that "we have to goto college on Tuesday (16/9/08)" ,which was the same day as the Kudi b'day( happy b'day da! Nurandu Valgazha!). I was quite puzzled to hear about it and thought "why the hell should i be back in that dungeon ?". On inquiring he said that "our project have been selected by TCS as the Best Student project and they are going to felicitate us ". I was shocked for a moment and i started laughing so hard that i dropped the joystick ,it fell down and broke. That wasn't my concern now , i had more serious things to laugh about than the joystick :). He told that we need to be there at the college the following day and told to catch the route bus. Kudi called after sometime and asked to join with the gang at the MGM on his b'day ,but i had to say no due to the college event. The next day arrived and i woke up with a lot of confusion , thoughts like " is it really us?, What if its not? anga poe asinga padanuma? " started popping up and i was quite hesitant to go.
My mom insisted me on going so got ready soon and boarded the bus. I was quite shocked to see that the bus was running full and they have let out 2 buses for liberty and 2 for West Mambalam( instead of 5-lights i suppose) and all were jam packed. Since the first years had just joined in ,boys were made to sit in front as usual(itha vidamattanga da ivanga!). Fortunately i got a seat and was happy to talk with my bus juniors and were inquiring them about the placements. The reason for this crowd is due to the fact that from the current year , Sairam Institute of Technology(SIT) has been opened and was running at full strength. The bus traveled for a hour on the rough Kishkinta roads which has not been still laid(just a layer of gravel and sand) , raising a lot of dust particles that covered the face. When the other people in the bus put down their head, na slight ta doubt aana. Hmmmm... finally reached the campus with the similar checking routine by Mr.X and was waiting for Mahesh and Raga in the couch.
At about 9.15 they both came and we three went and had tiffin at the famous Sai Cafeteria. More surprise were in our way as we found the the whole place neatly tiled. hoping that the quality of the food would have improved , we ordered three dosa , but soon realized that somethings never change! The juniors were equally excited to see us and were congratulating us for our work. Its when i thought " appa appo namba thana!" . While asking about the SIT , juniors said that they have opened a Coffee shop and a Chat spot there. What the hell? in these four years i have not eaten anything good except the rotten puffs (yuck!)... and that college is just behind the Men's hostel. Later we three went to the CSE staff room(which is in the new building btw) and met Jagan Sir and Bama mam. We had a nice half hour chat with them and then returned to the auditorium.
The audi packed full as the whole of the 4th year set had been called for, and at about 11.20 AM the chief guest Mr.Pattabiraman and Mr.Ganesan (VP- HR, TCS) came. In addition our HOD and the new principal(dunno what happened to our old principal)and the dean were also there. Fortunately all of them spoke little including Mahesh who spoke about our project , and within a hour or so the function was over and we were given medal and RS.5000 for each of the project member.Here is a sneak peak of the medal(click pic to enlarge)....
After the Auditorium function ,we called Rajesh(Rice our savior) and told him the whole story. To our surprise he was quite happy because he wanted the project to get a prize, though it did not happen in his hands, it did in ours(samma bitu la). Then we spent time at Mam's office which has been relocated to the new block. It covers the whole of the fourth floor and is very huge.It has been divided into several sections such as dining, VIP lounge and so on. After few hours at our lab , which by the way has become quite strict with staff monitoring student's every move with the help of a remote computer.If you browse the net they first send a warning ,if you persist, they can shutdown your comp remotely...bull shit!glad i'm out of here , we boarded the bus and returned back home. Though it was a one day event, it stired up some memories so wanted to share with you people.
