The much awaited event is there now. The National level symposium of our department of computer science is on AUGUST 25th,2007. Lots of events and lots of prizes to be won. We have went to many colleges and won in many symposia and so we will make ours in such a way that it satisfies all the hopes of the participants.
Great prize money! I would guaranty that this symposium will not have any previously fixed winners which happened in few colleges which we went. The schedule will also be such that most events won’t clash.
The paper presentation and poster presentation participants will not be having time to participate in many other events. Probably in one or two other events if priorly informed by adjusting the timings. Feel free to ask for any adjustment or clash of events and we will try to make it out to our best! WE NEED THIS TO BE THE BEST SYMPOSIUM DONE EVER! so your co-operation is needed. Come in bulk and rock the symposium with your performances.

“What is your name?”, “All students introduce yourself”, “hi, I’m Mahesh. What is your name?” These were the commonly used statements during the beginning of the college life. But all the information collected by these means is absolutely waste now. Nobody is called by their own names. Some are called by their nick names, some by their short forms and few others by dagalti words. The terror has grown so much that in our class we have nick names for almost all the members. So I and Vijay Krishnan have joined our hands to put the entire panorama in front of you. I will write the nick names of those having Even roll numbers and Vijay will carry on with odd ones along with the reason why they are called so. So… lights on… camera… Action…
Roll number 2: Mr. Arul Prakash a.k.a Urul© a.k.a Baby©:
Mr. Arul prakash is a man known for his villain and hero combined smile and terror dialogues. He was called as “BABY©” because roll number 4 and this man burnt the stove due to their extreme groundnuts during lab hours. But later due to the confusion of baby shifting to Dhaadi (refer roll number 30), his name was changed to Urul© which in Tamil means “to roll”. Due to the name similarity Arul matching with urul we adopted this new name. Now he is called “URUL BABY©®”- a name formed by combining both his old and new ones.
Roll number 4: Ms. Baby Ambica a.k.a Maravattai©:
I will not do the crime of once again reminding you people that roll numbers 2 and 4 comes next to one another and 4 were one of the reasons for the nick name of 2. “BABY” ambica is called as Maravattai© after we ran out of options of very small insects due to the copyrights problem of having same registered trade marks. And one more hidden ex reason there for the name which you people can mail Vijay and ask. Vijay I didn’t tell anything da.
Roll number 6: Mr. Boopathi a.k.a Era© a.k.a Aalu©:
Boopathi was called Aalu© during the school days as the acronym for “AAL THOTA BOOPATHI” which was very popular name at that time. But in due course of time the name vanished and this name of Era© was given to him by Mr. Rajesh of infosys. It was due to boopi’s physical appearance and also his food habits.
Roll number 8: Ms.Divya a.k.a Bajju© a.k.a Autograph©:
She was one of the early birds to get her name as Autograph© which she attained due to her regularly wearing the costume of “OVVORU POOKALUME SNEHAs” costume. Just to mention the second name i.e Bajju© I have put it. There lies a so called top secret behind this which I will come and type after seeing super singer.
Roll number 10: Mr.Ganesh a.k.a Kosu (m) © a.k.a Noyali©:
This great bench-mate of mine is called as Kosu (m) ©. (Refer Kosu (f) at vijay krishnan’s Blog). And his second name Noyali© is to signify his resistant power against diseases. He got typhoid, malaria and viral fever which contributed for his one month absence in class and to his hat-trick visit to hospital… (I suspect the doctor…the same fellow all 3 times).
Roll number 12: Ms.A.H.Gayathri a.k.a A.H© a.k.a Thalaivi©:
A.H is just calling her by initials and Thalaivi© is thalaivi only. I can’t tell any single word more. She dances within a plate and we suggested her to dance within a tumbler as her next venture. All the best for it a.h.
Roll number 14: Ms.Janani a.k.a Jana©:
Just a short form of her name. One smaller thing which I heard is that she likes PRASADHAMS which is given in temples… also in colleges!
Roll number 16: Ms.Kanmani a.k.a left©:
She left our college during the second year. So from that time whenever this roll number is called all of us will shout “LEFT” and hence the name for her.
P.S: Engirundhalum Vaazhga!
Roll number 18: Mr. Mahesh Subramanian a.k.a Magi©:
Naandhan…Naandhan. Mahesh a.k.a Magi. Obvious reason. Short form. That’s it.
Roll number 20: Ms. Meenakshi a.k.a Meena© : Refer Swaminathan- roll no-40.
Roll number 22: Ms. Neeraja a.k.a Promise©:
This girl is the worstest fellow ever in engineering history. She has the bad habit of scoring 90% and above in each semester which even though fetches her rs.25000 as scholarship, lead her to do a series of promises during her placements saying she will not go for further studies. Just camphor was missing when she promised each and every time. So promise.
Roll number 24: Ms. Prasidhha a.k.a Chellam© a.k.a 15000© a.k.a Nashi©:
The name Chellam© was kept to her by Bhai (m) (refer Vijay’s Blog roll number 19). But later she was renamed to Nashi© by the magalir ani due to our pugundha veetu pillai’s track. Nashi was an inspiration from Kushi. Here “Na” stands for pugundha veetu pillai and “si” is the suffix of prasi. And the name 15000© is for her winning the scholarship in first year. She is still to give treat for that long back incident.
Roll number 26: Mr. Ragavanandham a.k.a Anna© a.k.a Rep©:
He was our class representative for the first three complete years. So the short form of representative is Rep©. And due to his resemblance of Captain Vijayakant in a family role we called him “engal anna” which later maruvified (got changed) to Anna©.
Roll number 28: Mr. Rajesh a.k.a Rice©:
Rajesh when called at a faster pace will lead to a sound similar to Rice© and so we kept this name. To mention a great thing about this ambitious fellow, he came from Tamil medium and he is proving his best in the exams. His rocking performance in the English training session cannot be forgotten by any one in our class. Keep rocking rice.
Roll number 30: Mr. Sadesh a.k.a Dhaadi© a.k.a Storage
tank©:
Man of power, man of terror. He is called Dhaadi© because of the most interesting reason ever. If he shaves in the morning, he will be fit enough to get a shave once again in the evening. That’s his capaquity. And yes, he has one more capaquity to store whatever is eatable for 3 to 4 days without letting them to go out. In fact a needed skill during tour days. He is one of the main reasons for us clearing the semester subjects. Our teacher during the semester exam season.
Roll number 32: Mr. Santosh kumar a.k.a Sano©:
Just the short form of his name lead to this call name. Man of intelligence and cat aspirant. That’s why I think he has very harmful nails which are the ultimate deadly weapons which protects him during wartime.
Roll number 34: Mr. Shankar a.k.a Satti©:
Mr.Shankar is my friend from my school days. He is called Satti© from his young days and exclusive reason is hidden as it is a very old information and the researches are going on to explore the original reason for the name. I will not forgive this guy for dropping the five rupees kuchi ice fearing for our PT sir which I got for him and adding to my tension he eppam vittufied near my ears. Panni kutty!!
Roll number 36: Ms. Sivashankari a.k.a Siva©:
Once again just a short form of her name but her friends call it in such a way that they call a boy named Shiva and the entire class turned asking “yaaruda shiva” during the starting days of the names’ arrival in the market.
Roll number 38: Ms. Sudha a.k.a Su©:
The brilliant group of girls shortened the longest name ever possible in world history, “Sudha” to Su©. This would be the first time in world to short such a long name. Many a times this girl doesn’t know whether her friends are calling her or telling her to remain silent. They just turn to her and say “SU” and this girl will stop talking and at the same time turn to them asking “kooptiya?”
Roll number 40: Mr. Swaminathan a.k.a Sambhu_******©:
(Refer bibliographic notes on roll number 20). And for this name Sambhu_******© the reason is his fantastic mail id @ yahoo which at the moment when heard by anyone they either start rolling on the floor laughing or give a wacky reaction.
Competition: Guess those SIX stars after underscore and SMS to 20-40 and win fishing nets and sea foods as prizes.
Roll number 42: Ms. Uma maheshwari a.k.a uma©:
Silence…shhh…and this is all this girl is known for. She reveals her identity only when the attendance is taken. The remaining times we can’t find a clue whether she is present in class or not. Determined girl with lots of late attendance fine to her credit in this college life.
Roll number 44: Mr. Vijayaragavan a.k.a Bajji© :
Just now I called him to ask the reason for his name. To the greatest surprise he himself doesn’t know the reason. When asked to Boopathi (Era©) he says, “Edho vaayila vandhuchu da…adhan koopadrom”. So this is all I got from a phone call of 6 minutes and 34 seconds.
Roll number 46: Mr. Malar Mannan a.k.a Malar© a.k.a Flower king©:
Man of smiles. Once again a person from the short form name club. He is also a member of “En peru Englishla sangam”. So he is also called as Flower king©.
Roll number 48: Mr. Venkatesan a.k.a Annachi©:
He is called so because the first look you take at him wearing a “munda banian” i.e a banian without sleeves, you’ll say that he owns provisional stores in a town or a village located at tirunelveli. So obviously we call him Annachi© which maruvified from his old full name Maligai kadai annachi.
Roll number 50: Ms. Japamala Chackraborty a.k.a Asim Premji (copyrights poda mattene!!) :
Due to this girl’s hairstyle and spectacles and also for the reason she got placed in WIPRO this name is adopted for her.
This post is to make awareness among our class members and just for jolly. If this hurts somebody I apologize. Hope all will take it healthily.

Telemedicine and e –health is one of the fields which are in boom. And currently we are very much involved with this after a brilliant staff development program organized by our department. Now we are on the go to do our project in it. The project has been proposed and mostly in a week or so we will start working on the modules to develop the project as fast as we can under the guidance of our godmother. There are lots of projects to be done by engineers to contribute for the field of medicine. Will keep posting the latest workings now and then. This is one of the best ways to serve for the welfare of the society.
Farewell is over yesterday. I posted few of the happenings from the college itself. We went for the thanks giving at the end to know the timing when we can start the farewell. There we had the chance to know about all the menaces created by our seniors. They did it brilliantly and we had the fear that we should make the farewell also to be a great and a memorable one.
We started the farewell by 4.30 with a dance performance by our seniors. Amazing performance! Our events for our seniors started off with a song “June pona” from unnale unnale by second and third year students. It started off with a bang creating the first as well as the best impression. Then was the hip-hop style dance performance by second and third year students. It was brilliant one. Then was the mock awards session which I feared the most. But that came out as one of the best events of the day. It was a great team effort by the girls’ team.
Then we had our shortest variety performance which got good response. It was followed by the games which also gave lots of fun for the seniors. Then we gave the gifts which we specially made for each and every senior. It is a photo frame with collage of all the seniors’ photos with the person’s photo at the centre(as above). Everybody liked it very much and thanked us for the gift.
Then they sung “Mustafa Mustafa “which added to the feel prevailing around.
When working for the farewell of our seniors, I get fast forwarded to our farewell and was not in my world. Yesterday, my mind was half gone by seeing our Godmother’s face which was not the usual joyful one. Each and every staff was in a SOGA mood only. One of our senior professors cried so much that it added to godmother’s sadness too.
We came out of the auditorium and we took photos with all our seniors and were looking out for ways to stay in touch with our seniors. It was then our godmother called our team and started speaking to us. It was more than a head of the department. We never saw her as our head of the department. She added to my emotional quotient by her kind and truthful words.
I couldn’t control myself and I burst out into tears. I could not explain the feel for which I cried. It was a mixture of feelings of leaving the seniors, the fast forwarded thoughts of our farewell and above all the words of our godmother. The love she has on each and every one of us is indescribable. Samba was not silent. He went and told godmother that I got out of my E.Q (emotional quotient). It was the time when I just calmed down; samba came and told me that godmother is calling me. I knew that I would cry the moment I start talking to her. She just asked me “what happened?” and just as I expected I once again broke out into tears. I couldn’t explain why I was crying. She and maheswari mam (one of our senior professors who is mentioned previously in the post) tried to make me feel comfortable and I came to have the dinner. I couldn’t eat and I was just looking at my plate. I just kept it and went to help in serving. Totally it was like the day started with lots of fun and excitement but the end of the day made my heart heavier and I could still feel the heaviness.
Please seniors, keep in touch!! And when I think of my situation in our farewell, I’m left with no words to explain.
Today I went to my nearby temple of Abhirami Amman! I have went many times to that temple and each and every time I’ll think to post about the temple but some other hot topic occupies my blog.
So this time about the temple is going to be explained in derail. The main deity of worship is Annai Abhirami and Lord Amritakateshwara. Other than the main deities the temple has specialty of having a deity for Lord Brahma. The temple is famous due to the ultimate specific and immediate granting of whatever the devotees want is granted by HIS power. If you people don’t believe this, ask the blogger Samba, who generally is not a strong believer of god but he believes in abhirami Amman. That’s the power of this divine temple.
There are regular worships conducted on festival days and special programs are also conducted to provide relaxation to heart and soul. If you chance to visit Chennai, or chennaites chance to try tambaram please don’t miss out to visit this divine place.
Final year of my engineering career has started and 15 days have passed by. But we have not yet attended a single day of class. For the first ten days we went for the tour camping at all places of northern India. And when we were back, we thought that classes would start at rapid pace. But the staff development program and the symposium works have prevented us from attending the classes.
We go to the classroom just to give the attendance and we move on to our lab to do the presentation works and other symposium activities. Our juniors are more than us and have started to bunk classes’ right from second year following our footsteps. I’m very sure that the terror will increase when our juniors grow with this sacred intention.
We have completed the symposium sponsors work and we want to move to companies to give our presentation to all the companies and start our hunt. Our symposium is on August 25th,2007. Lots of events out there and lots of prizes to be won. Overall cup for the ultimate warriors! Be there friends. Will give a detailed post of our symposium later.
The blog located at http://ramanujamp.blogspot.com/ belongs to ramanujam parthasarathy, a well known blogger:) The post which sent me to write this review is the PPP posts which made me to know about PayPerPost and its direct features.
The post at http://www.ramanujamp.blogspot.com tells about the merits and demerits in a clear cut way. The author uses his very good vocabulary in all the posts he writes and this post is no exception for it. The blog introduced to me the money making blogging through ppp and the blogger being a nice person to tell out all the ways he follows through his posts and also in person. The posts are rocking and the blog is a boon to youngsters who want to know how all a person can spend his youth time in a “Creative” manner!!
Tour…. What a greatest time of ten days which flew away in seconds!! We started on 21st of June and we are back today. We went with all our department guys to have the enjoyment of our lifetime.
The starting day in Grand trunk express started with whistle sounds tearing the skies and Tamil film songs and dance. We took a small time to settle down but the beginning itself was a terror! With night time waking up of guys and girls and a good series of rummy went on getting me a profit of 35 rupees.
On 23rd morning we reached Agra by morning 9 or so. It took few minutes to come out of the station due to the ticket checker who didn’t know a single Indian language. But we got out somehow and we started towards our hotel and we checked out of the hotel after swallowing stones and sand in names of idly and puri. The first place we visited was Sikandara- akbars ’ tomb. A place to depict the mughal architecture and a cool place to hangout for more than an hour.
Next we went to Agra fort which is really a place to be seen in a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of history lies behind it but we came to know only a few because we went there without a guide. But we tried to find out few secret pathways and smelled a few. Nice experience.
Then we went to the place which is now on the polls to become one of the seven wonders. What a place it is!! We didn’t repeat the mistake of going without a guide and so we came to know a lot about “The Taj Mahal” and its architectures. We took some snaps and trick shots and then we started towards railway station to move to Delhi from where we were to travel to shimla.
The train journey from Agra to Delhi was of 3 hours and that was the most terror filled session ever. The entire train was looking at our group and many joined us during the journey. Our group of six members started singing songs and all members joined and there were dance performances by all possible pairs of boys and girls. Those three hours passed without our knowledge.
We reached Delhi and started off to shimla. Twelve of us alone went in a tempo traveler. The driver of our tempo, Mr. Ashok Sharma is a man of comedy, errors and action. He with his full fledged Hindi speech received many scolding from us and he stopped at frequent places due to his back side problems. He got down eight times and we served him with a LOPARET to stop his backflow. We reached shimla by evening.
In shimla, we trekked till highest point possible and the tea at the shimla shop was remarkable. The next day we started towards Kufri where we went in horsebacks to make our up and down journey in the hill in a path filled with horse shits and marsh. I won’t tell nobody fell off the horse. Ask Vijay about that. At Kufri, we took photos with the poor snake Bandhapuri and there was a fun world out there which offered four rides for 125rs. But we chose to go down to the village which was fully covered with a blanket of tea estates and flowers and we spent nearly two hours there. That night we started to KULU.
At Kulu, we went to Manikaran where river Beas flows at the most rapid pace possible. The place was a Gurudwara where Guru Nanak served people for a long time staying there. The water of Beas River is ice cold. But the spring very close to it is of hot water and it is natural. Just the recycling is done artificially. We had a nice bath there and then we worshipped at the gurudwara and we had the prasadam. Nice place to be at. Temples always are calm places. But here the noise of Beas River is heard heavily but the divinity and the oneness is maintained and we felt peace of mind there in that noise too! Temples are always special, whatever the religion may be!
Then was the hot experience of rafting along the course of river Beas at the rapid pace of its flow. It was a journey of 7 kms and it is a lifetime experience. We felt our muscles tightening when we rowed through the river. Every place we went, we made friends out there and the centre person of the raft was no exception. He said that he never met such guys in his lifetime.
We reached the hotel at Manali by 6 pm. The camp-fire was arranged and it started by half past seven. It went till half past ten and it was the hours of ultimate dance and comedy. We arranged for speakers and Tamil songs after long time made all of us jump to skies. We all went to bed to make sure we all are ready out there in morning for our journey for Rohtang pass.
The next morning we started to Rohtang pass, the place to go in jeep for two hours from manali. Rohtang pass is full of ice throughout the year. We had a fight by throwing ice on each other and since we got nicely from each other, we started climbing up in the ice. We went till the top point of ice and skidded from there. I skidded for three times and impossible to make it the fourth time we stayed at 13000 ft for nearly an hour taking photos and talking. We came back by evening six to manali. Ramanujam a.k.a Mr.”JAYA”ram got lost in rohtang pass and was later found after an hours’ search. Then we started that night to Delhi.
We reached Delhi the next day evening only. We went to Karol bagh, the Burma bazaar of Delhi and I had the worstest experience of longest shopping ever due to the presence of two girls with us. But thank god it ended in a time span of three hours. It was 22:00 hours by then. It was then we all started for second show of SIVAJI- THE BOSS at deluxe diamond. The theatre had 80 members all belonging to our group. All of us lost our voice there by interval shouting for our thala.
We reached the hotel by 3 and the next day morning we visited indira Gandhi museum, qutub minar, lotus temple and India gate. We boarded the train by 6.30 pm and the return journey was the feelings part of the tour. All of us felt that ten days passed very quickly and so all of us kept awake playing cards and talking. We arrived at Chennai on July 1st morning 7.15am. Home town at last!! By ten o clock, Home sweet home. I had the delicious meals by my mom after long gap and after the meals I had a nice sleep.
The tour as an overall thing to say was a life time opportunity. We enjoyed, we fought, we regretted, we learnt many things and above all we all had an opportunity to get closer to each
other. I achieved one of my short term goals of solving the deadly dispute between two good brains of our class. Wat else…?? Two pages full of text and still I feel I haven’t given even half of the tour’s excitement and happenings. It will take a year’s time to describe the tour completely and in this lifetime nobody in our gang can forget this tour. Thanks to all the staff members and our godmother for making this possible and all our gang members!! Tour-de-North!! Still in eyes…a milestone in our lives…a chamber in our hearts!
