Decided for appearing GATE

Finally decided to write GATE 2005. Bought the application form today. Need to put my efforts in, really.

Woke till 06:00 am, achieved!!

Since my study holidays has started I was trying to woke till the morning (06:00 am). But somehow daily I get dried down at around 03:00 to 04:00 am. But today I am awake till now. The secret behind, may be, is that I started listening to music from 03:00 am and for an hour. I feel like achieving something. For the whole night i was also thinking whether I need to write GATE this year. I have to talk to my mates about this. The thing I have decided is that if I decide to take up GATE, I will have to work hard (really not like the last year).

Met Ananth after a long time

Today I met my senior Ananth Srinivas who is back home after his TCS training at Trivandrum. He says he enjoyed his life over there with a varied people from different parts of India. Had a nice time chatting with him. The fun there was, for the first time I heard, he said "I didn't perform well there"...!! stunning man..!!! He is gonna join in Digital Zone center, Chennai on tuesday.

Hard at study holidays ;-(

Trying hard with my study holidays. Its been months that I have been with my books for a long time. I'm really confused on which one to study first. OR and Neural (except the eqns) are pretty good. Need to start AI. God save me.

Grr..Grr..Study Holidays started

Today, the study hols have started. Need to study?? An unanswered question that is in my mind for a long time. I have to mould my mind to say "yes" to this.

Grr..Grr.. Started!!

Cyber '04 Dedication work @ Rural schools

As part of Cyber, every year we do some dedication work. This actually started the last year. Last year too we went some rural schools and taught the students there some basic knowledge on Computers. This year I went Coporation High school, Sundarapuram (near TVS Nagar), Madurai. It was a real joy being with those student there. We went to the ninth and tenth standard classes. We taught them some basis on computers, some applications and more. They asked some doubts and we tried to clarify them too. The students there were really happy on having us. The kids of fifth standard came to see us during their break. They asked us type their names and they were so excited by seeing their names in the monitor. At the end, a small girl told me like "Anna, oru ponnu ungalla yaemaathe, aathu paeraa nallu vaati type pannituchu". I have some sort of joy and satisfaction today.

Cyber '04 has all set out

I typed this when I was about to sleep, so bare with all the mistakes. I have just put down everything that I thought of.

Cyber '04, a day to remember forever. I have witnessed five Cybers (from my brother's) so far. The most enjoyable one was the last one, that happened two days back.

I was an Organising and Technical committee member. I enjoyed working with my juniors during this Cyber. I came to know lot of juniors during this little span. That too the "Thirteens" team was a wonderful team to work with. Every people involve themselves in some kind of work and I could see some enthu in them. I will plainly say that this is the technical commitee. Sriranjani the Joint Secratary, Senthil the Technical lead, Saravanan with his smartness (in work), peter and enthu finds him everywhere. Vasanth puts his hardwork in bringing up the Quiz interface. Rebecca and RajaPriya, the coordinators for Cyber Showcase. PadmaPriya for Web Search online event and SriVidhya, one of the Quiz master. My god!! I forgot Sriram, the man who is incharge of Software contest and also the incharge for documenting records for ISO. Vishwanathan and SriVidhya took the Multimedia committee. And finally Shyam, who always seems to busy but really not. He said he worked for Souvenir, and everyone too says this. Mr. Elango, the person from A section, a representative for his class. He took the responsiblity for Quiz and C Bugging. A good worker indeed. Balamurugan told that Maze was a grand success this time. The full credit goes to Kavitha , Kanmani and all those who worked for that. For C Bugging, Elango was accompanied by some girls (Abirami, ...). The decoration committee (really a big team) led by Kattari did a superb job. I don't remember that guy's name who drew most of the charts. His work was really an appeciable one. To mention some from their work, the charts that hung between trees showed their innovation in work. The decoration in the Octagon was also superb. Atlast I shouldn't forget to mention abt the Catering committee. They were fine people yaar. I have missed some important people, Balamurugan (General Secratary), Fred and Harish (Multimedia Committee).. hey!! I'm tired typing these names. The team was really big, sorry I cann't mention all of them (tiring man).

The real enjoyment came during the culturals. For the first time I went up to the stage for dancing, that too on the spot I thought of dancing, no practice and it just came out. But when we were abt to make a dance piece for the song "Cheena Thaana", our dance was interrupted for some reason and it was stopped. We then decided to quit the Auditorium and went out. The moment we got out, everyone screamed like anything. A real joy man. After that we had the "Bham Beam" to end that day. We people then slowly moved to Aarthy for a heavy dinner, ate well, bid goodbye to all, went back to home and started to snooze.

Trying with Hello (Picasa)

I was trying to edit my post "Received my TCS order", to add a TCS logo with it. First I got some N/W error. This is because, currently Hello doesn't support proxy. I was looking for a system with a direct connection. Finally I had to use 'cray' for this. But it seems that, I need to read the Hello help for editing a blog post and adding a picture to it.

Found some old friends with orkut.com

I found Sundar Rajan and Venkata Krishnan (TVS guys) through orkut.com. Searching for more people...

Attam Pattam than!!

Myself, Jagu, Mahesh, Fred, Bala and Bara had a nice time in the Unix lab. We were all dancing in the lab, with juniors being the spectators. The songs were from "Cheena thaana.." to "Lakshavadheyae". Really a good time. See we are having night lab for the next three days. The jolly times ahead...

CSE Department is gonna cry ;-(

**INTERNAL** marks to my home

As part of getting ISO, TCE is mailing student's INTERNAL mark-sheets to their parents.

Yesterday, when I returned from the college I saw my internal mark-sheet in my home. My mom enquired about the marks (which were really as of a final year student) and she gave me some advices to read well so that it would be easy for the final exam. But the great fear I had was what would be my dad's response on this. I was little tensed on that day expecting my dad's arrival. But he was pretty cool and told me to prepare well for the final exams. Yet to start my full-fledged preparations for the final exam.

TCE in song at the Zonal meet

In TCE we had Tennis and Hockey zonal matches. Myself and my buddies were all enjoying the matches the whole day. Today I was around the ground, and surely away from my Lab. Especially those tennis matches in the morning were really enjoyable. We were all commentating the tennis matches like "sixer..", "wat a shot!", "once more..", "straight drive.." and more.

The TCE Tennis team represented by Nagaraj (final CSE), Vivek (final IT) and Ashwin (third Arch) really played well. For the first time I saw Nagaraj's play. It was really good and his services were superb.

The Hockey team won the PSNA, Dindigul for 4-0. The whole college was in the ground at the end of the match. People were about to create an '7-1/2', but somehow the team members cooled down.

A nice day yaar. Those who missed are really missed. Njoying my final year life.

'Nothing' is really FUN

I thought of writing this one coz you people will read this. But I know you will read this even if I don’t say you to read this. The simple reason being it has been published only for you people to read and not for that I have written this. Just by writing and publishing something no is going to read anything. Also you can’t just like that leave this, since it may or mayn’t contain nothing. No matter if this does or doesn’t contain anything.

Err… I forgot to say you something :-)
