Ganapathi Visarjan

    Today we celebrated the function of Ganesh Visarjan in our Royal Park..Really it was great fun in it..We all started it around 5:30 in the evening..After the initial aarti we set Ganapatiji in the back cabin of a truck and from here the function really started...

    We all started dancing around with Nagada(The Traditional Drums)beats was full on air with the pink rangoli color was spreaded all over everyone..I was full with color all over body even on hairs...I totally turned into pink panda...We all danced throughtout the roads, the royal park, in the alleys, in the streets in front of that truck whereever it went...It was too crowded..Not only we boys and men danced but even some of the girls and women too danced...The people where all over the places looking out from their balaconies, windows, doors as we go through the streets..We also exploded some diwali crackers..It was too noisy and fun out there...

    Then we all started to go that lake where Ganapathiji were to be submerged into water..Other than that Ganapathiji's truck there was four other mini trucks and tempo and even some of them went there into their own bikes and car...I along with my three other friends sat in one of that mini trucks and went to that lake..Whole way we were shouting Ganapathiji what to say chants...It was something like this:
   "Ek do teen chaar, Ganapathiji ki jay jaykar"
   "Agale baras jaldi aana"
and even something in marathi language too..exactly I dont remember that..But it was also nice one...Then after fifteen minutes of travelling we reached that lake.

    It grew little bit dark as we reached there..So first we did the final aarti of Ganapathiji and then took Ganapathiji to submerge into that lake...First I just carried that aarti thali to bank of the lake but then I handed it over to my friend and decided to carry Ganapathiji and to submerge it into the water..I joined the other five people who were carrying that Ganapathiji...I was even carrying a plastic polythene in which there were some old GAnapathiji festival drowning water sands...I have to empty that and again for next time I have to take the fresh sands from that lake bottom where Ganapathiji have to be drowned...

    Now it was time to drown the Ganapathiji and it has some old traditional method to do it..We have to go underwater for three times along with Ganapathiji and on the third time we have to leave it upside and have to come out of the water...So we went inside the lake at the depth of around our chest and did that same thing I said before..We drowned it and the four guys and rather to say four men went out of the lake and now mine and my friend work is to empty that polythene and carry new sands..I empitied it and went inside to collect the new one..But barely I could get full hand of sands as there was too much rocks inside there..I went inside four times and filled that polythene to half...after doing that I came out of lake...

    Now it was time to go back..I was totally wet and pink watered colored man as all that color which was on body got wet in that lake...Then I sat in one of that mini trucks and returned back to our Royal Park...Hence, I conclude my story which was mine first experience and that too was great...

Its Postponing!!!

I am quite struck with my wish to go canada..It all started last year in december when I planned to go Canada for my further studies...I planned to go on Jan intake of 10..but as I was not having my passport and IELTS score ready, I had to postpone it to April intake..and after that when I was setting myself for tht intake my friend suggested me not to go in that intake as I wont get the desire course and college that time...Due to which I has to postpone my studies for September intake..In the meantime I got my passport ready and even wrote the IELTS but again due to some reason I am not able to go evn for september intake.....and in between even my friend who was coming with me to Canada, rejected his plans and I am set all alone for Jan intake..now I guess this is my last chance to make it to the canada..and if every thing goes correct..I can hope myself in canada on next year Jan..Now I got six months in between and definately I am looking for a job..I pray to god that everything goes well and I can reach Canada next year and can fullfil my dream...It will be a long way to the sucess there in Canada....Lets first reach there....

Life is all about Struggling!!!

Life is all about struggling...Its only for the smart & fast movers..and one who dont follow it are always seen last in the race...But, I guess I too struggled even being ahead in the race..Struggled in my 10th and scored 64% percent there..which made me to shift my study course in Tamil Nadu state board..there in between strange people..where me and my friend never settled down..but I work harder and scored 87.5% percent there in 12th..Then for college I came here on Bharath University away from parents and family..Not struggled that much but went on to score 7.92 CGPA out of 10..But I was without any job and for next years it was the same..I heard people blaming me, abusing me, accusing me and everything but for me it was nothing..then I thought to study further and now planning to join any of the college in Canada..But I guess its not that easy I thought and the struggle again started..I had to convince my father, have to get good IELTS score, have to get in a good college and most important definately want to go for this September intake...and for which August is the last VISA fileing date..lots of work, less time but dont know how the things are going...the stuffs are too difficult and I am in a confusing state....Life never remain at ease, it gives you struggle through....And after all this the life still remains at??????????????????????????????????????

The Engineering Life!!!!

My Engineering life started on 2nd August 2004..that day was 1st visit to my engineering class...was quite boring....I came from the Naval family environment and i have seen people of all kinds there but here in college what i saw was too odd..I saw here different kinds of people everywhere..they were conservative, mean, orthodox, mutiny and lots more, but there were some nice people around there...Thats hw the college people were..coming to college was not very big and as i was coming first time to in any institution after schools, i felt my college too big and enjoyable...

My first year, in college was horrible the seniors fear, the home sickness and everything that a student can feel in his first year, i felt all of that...Earlier i was der in Hostel Sangama where the ragging to juniors was famous in all over that area..but my luck somehow i managed myself to the first year student hostel in Chromepet and der came the fun...we enjoyed a lot there..it was fun time der, we were not restricted for anything except some formal rules, and which i think was meant to be broken and it happened in the same way...me and my friends were on the top of the hostel rooms..we were altogether seven people (Me, Anirudh, Deepak, Rohit, Lappi, Harish) out there and everyone had a great fun in that room..and in weekends on friday we use to go back home and come back on sunday evening...The whole two semesters we did that, we never let a chance to go back home anytime.... the college was quite boring that year..nothing to do..just some bundles of friends and some narrow minded people who dont want to mingle with anyone...But, as it was an introductory year i met new people from every parts of India..i met people from Andhra, Kerela, Bengali's, North easterns, Kashmiris, north indians, Bihari, Jharkhandi, Punjabi, Haryanis and ofcourse, the Tamilians and everytime whenever we chat with each other, we always ends up in some kind of controversial debates as everyone express their views on differnt things and never anyone thought matched with each other so this leads to all that i mentioned earlier....Then comes the ragging, frankly i was ragged but not that much..in name of ragging, i was questioned, introduction, some asked me to sing and thats it..nothing more than that....In exams i did well in my first year..Didnt studied hard..so that in first semester i got one year and tht too i think must have not got that result..in second due to my mischief act i got two arrears....So, atlast before end of theyear, My dad got transfered to Mumbai, Navy Nagar and he shifted there with my whole family which resulted in end of my home visiting in weekends..After the exams i stayed there for three days in which one day i spent at Deepak's Home in Arakkonam and then i came to Mumbai..this year i go in touch with many people but i think there some good people whose name i should mention here they were..Lashmipathy, Rohit, Anirudh, Deepak, Snehasish, Jitender, Sukanto, Rakesh and many more....

After my semester holidays, i returned back to Chennai..I straight away headed to Sangama hostel, my friends have already reached there..we paid the hostel money and got ourself a room...Here, the condition of hostel was worse...and it even got worst after we saw the same yr of student of our batch were treating us like first years..earlier we didnt like it but later on when we heard them..we thought they mite be right as they spent one whole year under seniors and did whatever they were asked to..Coming back, they didnt remain same, they mingled us with them as soon as the new batch came and we too became senior der..After that hostel was quite nice..the hostel life was too good..in chromepet we were not restricted for anything but here we were like free birds and with juniors out there..we had a great fun der....In college, even there scenario changed, everyone seems to got too freely with everyone and from there evn our main studies of CSE started and life was going very smoothly...But, that year it rained too much..due to which evn our exams were postponed many times..resulted in lots of leave between exams..and between the second last paper and last paper there was 15 days leave..so i went home, but due to some confusion i was not able to make myself for the last paper and i missed that and i got one arrear in third semester but easily cleard my two last semester papers...and fourth semester was very cool..i cleard with no arrears that sem with 8.4 CGPA...In this year i came in contact with my old friend from Arakkonam..She was quite nice to me..and usually i spent my time in weekends with her, if she comes down to Chennai....After the end of the year i went back to Mumbai to my parents...




The Holidays ended up and I returned back to Chennai, for my third year of college..it was as usual the hostel life..we got more free than last year even the junior's juniors came to the hostel..We were bounded to nothing..In college there also things didntdidnt became a hard drinker but by the time I became a regular smoker..I went to many places this year with my girlfriend..like Pondicherry, Mahabalipuram and almost every places in Chennai..Got myself too much in that..The year was even saddest of all..I lost many things which I think, I cant describe here..then semester leave came up and I went back to my parents in Mumbai...

Then came the last year of college..This time I didnt continued staying in hostel..We got ourself a room in camp road..we were altogether seven people in that room(me, Suman, Sekhar, Rohit, Snehasish, Deepak & Sudhir)..we got ourself a room on the first floor of a house with no owner was staying with us..and i think this was the most unforgettable year of my life..Just seven people in a house and with no one to watch out us..We started cooking food for ourselves in the starting month but then some of us started moving out for the food..We never studied in that room either we use to roam outside, we sit on computer, we watch tv, smoke, drink and lot more thing we did..We even went to Pondicherry once by booking a car...I went to Mysore twice that year once in August and another time on December..In semester leaves we all went back to our places except Suman, Sudhir & Deepak..In college, life was very smoothly going..Our department teachers gave all the important questions before the exams were started..I was having no arrears and went on clearing the seventh semester with an ease..Then came the eighth semester, we all were having burden of getting placed in some company placement but except Suman  & Sekhar no one made it i our room..That semester we just had classes for two days in week that too half day...I along with my two friends(Anirudh & Pranay) went to Nellore's Krishnapatnam Port for our project..so i spent 60% of my time of that semester in Nellore itself..In between I went once again to Mysore and I would have never thought that  it will be my last visit to Mysore for that specific work...The last semester exams dates came on head and before that we got 15 days leave...We made Holi festival in grand way that year, the last Holi of engineering..Then the practical exams and exams came up...The papers were not that much tough and everyone wrote well..Hence, engineering life ended up here, except for some people who either got year back due to lack of attendance/poor academic performance  or who were carrying arrears after the exams were done..Then it was the time to say goodbye to everyone..Those who got placed we were waiting for their call and those who didnt got, they started packing their luggage to go back home..In our room Sekhar was the first one to leave, then Suman, after that Snehasish, then Sudhir, after him to follow was Deepak..Rohit booked himself a new room in Pallikaranai along with a new student Laxman who was going to start his Engineering life in Sairam Engineering college..Then Rohit too went home for one month..Snehasish got a job in Nokia but didnt last there for too many days and left the job and he too went to Andaman...I spent my final two weeks in a friend room and after doing my work, I too came back home...In all ways the engineering life ended perhaps the only thing was left was to collect our degree certificates..We all became Engineers and I guess we all can never forget our engineering life in our whole lifetime and I guess that life will never come back again...........................
