Our department symposium which almost proved its success even before it started, showed its awesome terror with 822 participants from colleges of tamilnadu and other states. The event witnessed the highest ever number of participants in the history of our college. We had eleven events and two hours in morning and evening for the inaugaral and the valedictory respectively. But despite that, with the efforts of all the members put together, we managed the event very well.
The activities were going on one side in a full fledged manner. But one thing which really made all of the other college participants is the hospitality provided for them. Not even a single person from our college had a single piece of cake or food the whole day. All the events took place with small comedies and professionalism which will be explained by the respective event co-ordinators.
The event was praised by all and most remained silent as they were left with no words to express the feel which they had. CSE rocked the day. We had Yo-Yo from Big FM who stole the audience with his own style in judging the adzap and he also conducted the informal event and yesterday they also had a 4 minutes on-air about our symposium. THANKS BIG minded friends. About godmother….sorry..i’m left with no words to describe her great attitude and her approach on that day… simply amazing!!
It was thursday when a circular came to our class stating that the college management is going to take the interested students to puttabarthi temple on friday evening and will be back by monday morning. I was not there in my class when the circular came and so i knew the information in the bus only. Moreover there are lots of work to be done for the symposium and also for the project. So anyway i would not have gone. But i feel for missing a great opportunity to go to a long desired place to visit-Puttabarthi. This place is dedicated to sri saibaba who i always inspire as a human being for his good services to the society. Anyway will go sometime and see him. But this opportunity is gone..Nothing to feel..just a information of what is happening in college.Thats it!
I have previously told about my department symposium on august 25th, zephyrix07 the national level technical symposium to be held in the biggest level ever at sri sairam engineering college conducted by our department of computer science. The works for the symposium are going on at full swing and symptoms clearly prove that the event is going to be a great success. The most exciting part is that we have ordered for t-shirts and we have also got permission to wear it during the symposium which is a great achievement as far as our college is concerned. We guys are gonna rock..so be there to rock along with us and feel the breeze of victory, enthusiasm and enjoy the exhilarating experience.
It was the most anticipated day from the last week. Yesterday, the 4th of august, birthday of this famous blogger and our best friend Ramanujam alias Babbu.I started early from my home by 8 in the morning and reached T.Nagar by 9. Then Sid and I went to Kapathu’s house where we all planned to meet to make the arrangements for the birthday celebrations. I started fair copying the Tamil poem which I prepared the previous night with tear-filled eyes for my best friend. Kapathu played very good songs from her collections and we were later joined by samba and jayasri (baabi).
We had the cashew nut embedded pongal along with tasty sambar prepared specially for us by mom. Then we all laid in the sofa which along with the song by the side really made us sleep. It was 12 noon… Suddenly Kapathu reminded we were actually there for babbu’s birthday. And baabiji was keeping on insisting that we have to start early for babbu’s birthday. Sid and Kapathu bought the cake and the other requirements for the party. We started by half past twelve in the noon to babbu’s house and reached the spot in five minutes. There babbu and sano were singing the isai kalaignan song in the highest pitch possible. We entered and watched our college variety show for sometime and then few chats about the college activities which ultimately gave us a fulltime comedy show effect.
Then we were joined by the other members kudi, raja, vijay, dhaadhi, ragavanandam and ragavendran. Then we had a game of uno and around 2.45 we had the cake cutting ceremony. Kapathu broke the “2” In the candle “20”by giving her full force. That added to the comedy around. Then we had the birthday song “Rama, inniki un pirandhanaal, nee azhaga porandhuttiye” and Rama unexpectedly handled the first piece of cake to dhaadi…enna koduma sir!! Then the next piece to his mom and then the next piece to “RAMA”. We gave our presentations and then brushed the cake in his face and then around 4 we started to Besant nagar beach. Kapathu couldn’t join us due to mom’s eye checkup. We reached Bessie beach along with the eggs to be showered on the birthday boy.
I was there at the Besant nagar beach for the first time and decided it must be the last time too. Terror fool pairs around doing all nonsense which shouldn’t be done outdoor. Clearing all that of f my mind I moved like a horse with the kadivalam. (I dunno wat it is in English) and then Rama and “rama” joined us after ten minutes. And yes, the great BALA joined us. If I had not specified this in my Blog he would have cursed me. Then we all brushed Rama with the eggs we had hidden in our hands. But another girl who was sitting nearby also got her t-shirt full of egg-splash. We said sorry which was replied by a strong look.
It was time to have our kalasal session where we kalasified all the girls around who were half dressed in the name of fashion and then moved to the traditional beach eatable- BAJJI. Our friends got overjoyed and started jumping and standing upside down and all tricks. It was like a vidhai show there. Then we left the beach and moved to planet yumm and ate for 2000 rupees for 14 of us. A good treat by rama and we all wished rama that he should get birthday every month. Prasi was one of the candidates who missed out the entire celebrations and fun due to her GRE exam on 8th of August.
It was lots of fun the full day and the most surprising and the gunnies event of the day is that my dad showed NO terror even though I came home by half past ten at night. There were my sister’s efforts in putting full fledged bits to maintain my status and make me escape the terror. But no terror is the greatest thing which I have experienced.
This being our last year of college we have decided to celebrate each and every day of this year and each and every event of this year. We conduct regular stays at our sanga room at chrompet and also regular get- together meetings. The birthday was also a celebration for the friendship day which is today. So to end this post…HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY TO ALL…
Since the day i started going to college in this final year i was there standing in both up and down journey to the college in the bus. We demanded many times and few adjustments were made but nothing proved to be effective and today finally we got a new bus in our route as we were 35 students standing in camp road bus…Thanks to those who made this possible..
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.

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.
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.
One of the greatest responsibilities is over successfully. Today we had the celebration festival of our college for getting the accreditation. The event venue was MAYAJAAL, a multiplex come shopping mall and we were supposed to be there by 10 in the morning.
I was involved in the Swish Max presentation committee where we want to depict the struggles of our college to get the accreditation. We started it yesterday night at 10pm and it went on till today morning 8.30. I, satish and ragavendran were in the presentation team. Ragavendran went in the college bus and satish and myself traveled in satish’s bike. It was 10.05 am when our godmother called us and said the event has started and to be in the venue within 5 minutes which was not at all possible.
Luckily, the presentation and the fun games to be organized by our team were moved on after the formal speech by all the dignitaries. So we had enough time to relax our muscles and keep our drowsy eyes wide open.
The presentation and the games went on well and we received applause from all the staff there. Our chairman said us that the movie was in Balu mahendra style and was amazing. With all those happy words and happy mind we went to have our lunch. It was OK. Then we fought with the staff and got the last pieces of gulab jamun, but the ice creams were over.
Then we went on to bowling and some snooker game but didn’t spend much time there because the movie which was booked for us started. The movie is Mozhi which I see for the fifth time in theatre. Though I got the dialogues mugged up, I enjoyed the movie and the Pepsi and pop corn sponsored by our department staff cum friend Mr.Mahendran. Then we had bondas and tea and few clicks to witness that we were on the spot.
It was a day full of excitement and enjoyment with responsibility satisfied more than what was expected. Above all today is KAVIN PREETHI’s(body guard/ please sir/jo) birthday. Though she couldn’t be for the entire day, we enjoyed the smallest level of celebration. To end I would like to wish her a happy birthday on the behalf all our bloggers.
