Mahesh’s World

It was a supercaligraphilisticexpialidocious victory today at Anna University in the manufacturing technology department. We were not sure of our success today as there was no proper team of us and we were a mixed up team of me, rama and boobu as few of the other members are mixing up the symposium activities with other activities. I went in a bus which has automatic door and it got caught in traffic at kathipara. The petrol and diesel smoke together caused wheezing for me and I was doing the breathing exercise for temporary relief. A man nearby me shouted, “conductor open the door, open the door” for which conductor said all stupid things. The conductor was already at his wits end. Only one more time, “conducto-ava—yaaaiiikkkkkk…” The man vomited and the entire door had a nice vomit wash. Poor conductor, he had no reaction to show. Then I reached anna university and there we had a nail biting dumb charades finals and finally we won the first prize. There was only one girl in the five teams and I spent most of my time during the finals watching her. I narrated a great story starring the anna university professor to ramanujam and boobu and we were laughing like devils in the class. When we were coming back, we ate for eighty rupees in anna university canteen. We lost the ice creams to the monkey parade which was there. A great day with only three members of the gang but with lots of fun.

Yesterday after a long time in my life I heard a person saying what exactly what I felt at that time. This timing happens many times with me and vijay but all that is quite predictable. But this one was really something I keep close to my heart. I’m not going to tell you people to guess it in comments section but tell you what it is here itself. The person was vinod and he remarked on the life in foreign country. Sesha’s elder sister and her family is staying in London and they were there for sesha’s second elder sister’s marriage. At that juncture I was thinking, “what is this life, leaving all the friends and relatives with whom we lived for twenty to twenty five years and settling down in a place somewhere else”. It was at the same time vinod also said me the same thoughts. There are many friends known to us who are having their goal of life to go to united states and settle down there happily.

Even sriram says that he wont be living in India and wants to get rid of all the nasty things happening in India like the quota registration, bribe and all such. Every nation is not perfect. Always it appears that the other side is good, but it is when you go and live out there you will come to know that what all the things which you miss out are. You may take your entire family to other country and settle down there and ask what is that is going to be missed. There are certain things which you can’t get in a foreign land. That’s why we call our own country as motherland. It is exactly as we living with our relatives for sometime. They may be so loving and affectionate and there may be all the facilities there. But will that be equivalent to mother’s love and affection?

There was a seminar in my college regarding higher education in foreign countries. There was a person who came and spoke. He said that his age is 24 and he is proud to be the commercial pilot trainee at Melbourne. He said that he left India at the age of 12 and now he is staying in Melbourne and his parents somewhere else. Is this a proud thing to boast about? What’s the life with parents living some thousand kilometers away and having a great career and enjoying life in some other place?

I’m not saying that going to US is a crime or such stuff. And I’m also not against the higher studies and all those stuff. I just say about those who completely want to leave out the nation, friends, relatives and have a life in some other place. East or west, home is the best. And this holds good everywhere. It is a nice experience to go to other countries and hang out there for some job or travel or studies. But when that gets over get back home. I didn’t want to write such a post as many may think this may be opposing to their view to go to foreign countries. But I wanted to post it and thanks to vinod who kindled the flame yesterday.

Today we all had a get together which was there at Ahobila madam at Selaiyur and we were all there for the event of our Mega gatherer Sesha’s sister’s marriage function. We all gathered there at the place by 7 and there was kicha with the gift and all the members gathered inside the mandapam after having a small talk outside. Then we had a cup of grape juice and then we were chatting with each other and kalsifying each other ultimately with our group term “Seri pa®©™”. Then as mica suggested to go and give the gift soon and have the dinner and also as I was waiting for it we started towards the stage and it was the all gatherers league in the stage. “HAPPY MARRIED LIFE TO SESHA’s sister!” We had the photo session and shankars expressive pose for the video taken. Then we sat down silently looking at each others faces for ten minutes and we couldn’t bare it anymore… ATTACK…we marched towards the dining hall and it was a combination of tiffin and dinner for us. Ultimate meals..credits to masai… Then we relaxed for ten minutes with av sitting in the pose of ultimately relaxed person. And then by 9.30 we all started from there bidding seshu tata and then we are online now. Altogether it was a great day with friends!
