Types of girls..

Just aimlessly surfing the internet, I hit upon this post in an internet forum and thought it was a real good classification that we can all relate to..the types of girls..

CD-ROM GIRLS
She is always faster and faster.

EMAIL GIRLS
In every ten things she says, eight are nonsense.

HARD DISK GIRLS
She remembers everything, FOREVER.

INTERNET GIRLS
Difficult to access. (pr0n ?)

MULTIMEDIA GIRLS
She makes horrible things look beautiful. (make-up probably ?)

SCREENSAVER GIRLS
She is good for nothing but at least she is fun. (My favorite !)

RAM GIRLS
She forgets about you, the moment turn her off.

WINDOW GIRLS
Everyone knows that she can't do a thing right, but no one can live without her. (Analogous to dumb-beautiful girls)

VIRUS GIRLS
Also known as "WIFE''. When you least expect her, she comes, install herself and uses all your resources. If you try to uninstall her you will lose something, if don't try you uninstall her you will lose everything...

SERVER GIRLS
Always busy when you need her.

cool huh?

Photoshopping days - Part 1

I started learning Photoshop CS3 since they started calling me 'graphics mark' for my amateurish depictions of kalasals about ppl. So, I thought "Why not learn the damn thing and do proper graphics work ?". I'm getting better and am now able to express myself more visually. A few of the amateurish and better 'art works'' are shown below: I have not uploaded some due to copyright issues (just fear that I might get killed! ) :P

Starting with my favorite..

Meanings to these pics always welcome !

Abnormality is an advantage !

After a certain incident, which I will write about in future that happened about 6 months ago, I got intrigued about gayness or homosexuality. I had once considered it as a 'freak show' put up by the people in the United states, as u find the wierdest of people there from attaching artificial stuff to their bodies to piercing all places curved and hollow..

Once I was quite convinced that gay people existed even in India and was aware of indian gay sex talk (which is pretty disgusting for me), I tried reading articles and vidoes to find out what caused such an abnormality and also what they felt about women. It is pretty hard to differentiate a gay man from a striaght man, espcially in India, the place where I come from. I stumled upon a gay forum in which one of the users asked the forum members what their opinion was on seeing hot chicks.

I was shocked to hear that they actually realised they looked good physically but would never be sexually attracted to them. They found men sexually attractive even though a few of them were married and had kids. The interesting info I gathered from them is that they are popular with girls but since their thought process is like theirs and girls inturn would like have such people as 'friends'. The other thing is that gay men are the best at choosing clothing for women.!

So, my conclusion is, take gay men for shopping, and girls, if some u figure out some guy thinks like you, its probably best to have him around ;) !. On a final note, from my personal observance diary, a gay man's mannerisms are girlish !

Confusing phase - Part 1

Just thought I d blog after a very long gap , probably just to take my mind off the sequence of events happening in my life right now... Hmmm..where do I start ?

Ah..eating and sleeping, one of the 2 most important things in life, for which earn money atleast 5 days a week for.. My sleep schedule ranges from somewhere about 6 am to about 12 pm or 1 pm..Most of the time I am in the lab tryin to do my project only to find my project supervisor pile more and more work on me and never seems to get satisfied despite sleepless hours of work..(I reckon its some kind of negative psych thing, because the more u act rough, the more I try to desperately impress you..). Actually sleep is something I can imagine because my mind never seems to come to rest always thinking about the 'TO DO' list in my laptop. I m even thinking of recording my sleep hours , because for some weird reason I think I blabber technical data in sleep :- !!. What's even more weird is, I get dreams of my grandmother who died 10 years ago, who I have seen only twice in my entire life ??!!.. Is this all part of a phase?

Eating, like most 'lazy' bachelors, I cook in such a way that I don ve to use the kitchen for the next 2.5 days and stock up the fridge with things like icecream, biscuits, flavored milk, juice and small good meats.

I also have my project, which lasts from somewhere between 8 to 20 hours in a day, depending on how tired I am and how stoned I am or sometimes even how sleepy I am...As always I think of old times, when people used to tease me about my UG project, now no-one cant do that because what I am doing right now is worth the UG+PG+Ph.D even :P !!

Fun at Final Year BE Project - Part 2

One of the people who was in the same told us of a place where they served home food but it was not an 'official' restaurant and was run by a brahmin joint family. We got home food there wen our tongues almost died eating in hotels!!. Ofocurse the place was always crowded and the setup of the place was just a few benches and a stool to keep the plate and eat. Still remember that tony used to write his 'dhum' expenses as 'snacks' incase his parents catch him :D!! (Intha madhiri nerathla than moola nalla vel seiyum!!). I had no problems as such as my parents were abroad that time..

Going on, we always used to get late because of the 'night' drinking sessions and get scoldings frm the external supervisor, neverthless we always told him that we were studying and he always believed us.. A couple of instances which made him believe us was; 

1: One day on the way home he asked us "Do u guys drink ?", to which Antony instantly replied "Ofcourse sir!, we drink. We drink bisleri & aquafina !" (Dei akkava pathi pesna seruppu pinjidum !!) . God knows he would have thought wat big idiots we were !

2: Another one was "Enna pa enna pathi theriyathu, naan college la semms J.P pa. J.P na enna nu theriyuma ?", to which Antony replied "J.P na Jolly party ah sir?". To which he replied "J.P na jollu party pa".

We used to eat the Rs.5 meals there as we were not allowed to go out as BHEL was strict..And ofcourse Rs.1 kadala muttai after which we sat on some broken planks till the lunch got over and then went back to work.. 

BHEL closes at 4 30 pm, which is when the DGM becomes free and sits down to teach and talk with us till 7 30 pm. He manages to stay till then cuz his house is 2 minutes walk from there. We, however have an hour odd of travel to get to our house, when we have dinner and drinks before retiring to bed. 

Next morning, I get up at 9, wake up tony and get back to sleep till he gets ready and we leave at about 10 to reach there at about 11 am. Finally our project got over and we had to return to chennai. Mind you, it was fun neverthless ;) (Did I say fun ?)

Coming back to chennai, Mr.KK was frustrated that we did a company prject when infact it was his intention that we take up one and apart from that BF No.2 claimed the project was a waste and that he needed some numerical analysis. We went back to our external supervisor who was no position to help as they did not use any numerical analysis software, so we had no option that to use the all famous "Keyence". We got the processes in the DPCM and converted them into sequential processes and then into ladder logic. One part over, we contacted the mech engg department who helped us out develop a simulation for the cutting sequence using their CNC software. Thanks to this man we learnt how to write use graphs to write cnc code.

Finally, our project accepted we went for the final review. On that day I woke up late because of slides preparation the previous night and forgot my copy of the project report. Luckily, I got the college copy and was asked to replace it later wit mine. The external appreciated our project despite the put-down by the internal staff. Another comic was the internal supervisor, Germin nisha Ma'am who absolutely did NOTHING, I mean nothing toward the project. Probably we should have asked her to tell the title of our project.

The final comedy was when Prathap took my mobile when other presenations were going on and accidentally pressed the walkman button on the phone. It started to play, he got panicky and gave the phone to me. I switched it off and slid in into my socks. Mokkaraj came and asked whose phone it was to which Raghu replied that it was his own phone. Frustrated on not getting a good answer he went back to his seat. Finally we had a session of photographs and then went back home.

I know that I wont get such a project ever in my life and this one brings back memories ! :0

 

Fun at Final Year BE Project - Part 1

Hi all. am back after a veeery looong gap to write about something that I wanted to write about, for quite some time now as there were 'misconceptions' among class guys regarding the same. Yes! its about our final year BE project in BHEL, Trichy.

To start off, we ofcourse decided a lil late that me & tony are going to do our final year project in a company and not inhouse for a few obvious reasons (which any EIE person should guess, if not refer to the 'Comedy Classes' post !) and I came up with the idea that we could get in BHEL as my dad's industry in trichy was doing work for BHEL. So far so good, we went to trichy and stayed in Hotel vignesh for a couple of days. We rented a room with tv in it and drank on the first day of arrival itself..Thts where it all 'started' ;). Then v contacted the Senior DGM who was my dads friend and he asked us to apply directly. So we went there and we were unfortunately told that they stopped givin projects for electronics guys and computer science guys just a month before. We were distressed as we had already started d project late and now we are in a position where v wont get it at all.. So we called up the SDGM again and told him that we are in a do or die situation and that we have no other hopes apart from this..So he helped us by gettin a reco from AGM which eventually got us inside!!

We were redirected to another DGM who was our external guide, a very knowledgable person by the name of Palanivel who had completed his Masters in Electrical from IIT. He gave us big books to read to get a feel of the project and since the AC in his room was making the room cold, antony as usual dozed off in his room as soon as he left, with the book in his hand :)!..We got rooms in a mansion in porur to minimise accomodation costs (of course to save more money, for other reasons :P). It was decent in that it had a couple of iron cots, a couple of tables & a hardly running fan.. The main feature of this mansion is its location, just outside of which it had three TASMAC shops in the same road with corresponding fast food centres opposite them!!. There was also a grocery shop next to the shop conveniently set to buy coke, karams and 1 rupee pickle for touching :D!

So where was I? Yeah, project..He told us to automate the Double Column Planing Machine and ofcourse told us to stand near the machine to study its entire operation so that we could get an idea of the various operations performed by it and later he would ask us questions based on our observations..Ofcourse we would hardly answer his questions and one fine he called tony as 'Kumarimuthu' :).. Then we would drink like 3 days a week, sleep late, get up late and always run late te report to the DGM and ofcourse get scoldings from him.. Both of us spent like Rs 1000 a week each, most of which would go for food expenses and travel charges (pun intended) ..

One of the bset drinking sessions was when we got 2 bottles, one MC and one 8 pm rum. As soon as the first round got over, tony put omelette and thus refused to drink further..I told him that I will not waste anything and drank up the rest..Naturally high on alcohol i went in a zig-zag manner and finally slept off to avoid damage to myself and others around me..:D

Mahen the US mappilai

ENJOY !! :D

--Comments Please !!! --

Well there was this certain point of time I realised that i was losing enthusiasm to blog anymore simply because MANY of our classmates just visit the blog and do not comment.. HELLO!! nobody is gonna bite you if you don't comment !! Its been like 2 years since we finished college, i still don't realise why ppl are still shy ?!

Anyway I thought I would delete the blog soon but I decided against it, atleast for the sake of those who put in their comments..

So hats off to those who aren't one sided and keep commenting !!

The heart of a Policeman

Just thought I d write a story for one of many inspiring people in my college life ( the real reason is that I made a graphic and thought I'd write a story on it :P) .. Its about my pal Karthi... Btw, to all of you, credits to nambi for showing me the site where i enhanced my graphic, from the amateurish 'Paint' application I always used before..

The Scene :
A college student decided to do Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering just because he was forced into it but his ambitions and interests were else where ( Don't think its girls..If you realise, he is the patent owner for "The LIFT policy" ). Nevethless he started off in college hostel making friends, majorly a large fan base because of his large collection of err....videos which he liberally distributed to all the hostel inmates without any 'boundaries'.. Naturally, for every deed there will be an opposite reaction ( Newdun's 3rd law ) and this anti-social element which I would like to call as 'Little-Pot' started to publicly embarass him in front of our classmates which stopped him from giving us the err..videos...

At the same time, which is always the case, every bad experience teaches new things in life. He embarked on a mission to stop what he had become a victim of. So in the mean time, in order to build up his capital he married a telugu girl and became a 'golti'.. Naturally, in order to keep up with his in-laws he spoke *butlar* telugu by adding '-lu' to whatever word he used, to give it the telugu effect.. For example : Naanlu orulu nallalu payanlu (Naan oru nalla payan in tamil), Orulu paththulu roobalu kadanlu kidaikumalu? (Oru paththu rooba kadan kidaikkuma?) and others *U can figure out the rest anyway!!*. This gave him the name Golti Karthi in the first semester..

Neverthless, his mission to stop 'PIRACY' was at the back of his mind and he was masterminding the plans to go about it. To start off, he assumed dual roles, one of them is Vijay *without the spectacles, with contact lenses* in the morning and the other is Madhan Bob *with the glasses* so that nobody could figure out his true identity on and off college. Apart from that, he used to get up in the morning and run 10 rounds around the college playground to keep his physique in perfect shape.

Finally after 4 years of strenuous effort, he wrote his IPS exam and finally became a police officer, which was his long term dream. Still in his dual role, one for the world and one his real face, he works as Engineer in Rockwell Automation in the morning but secretly is Karthik selvan I.P.S, Special Wing, Video Anti-Piracy Squad., combatting the circulation of err...videos that he was once victimized by..

Our salutations to this sincere police officer of Infosys Police Station.. JAI HIND!!

## Guidlines for long life ##

Jus ripped this out of an e-mail I got and am tryin my best to follow all of them and it looks like what it said is pretty much true..Why don't you try pondering over what's said ?!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

In relation to the 'Random Imaging' post, I thought I d add message callouts to show what everyone might be thinking :).. In as much as I d like to admit that I don ve many pics with me in perth, don fret if the pics are repeated.. Its just a desperate guy with many feelings and limited pics.. Here it goes..

Kudigaran Paechi Pozhudu Vidinja Pochi (KPPVP) - DAY 2

Night of day 1 : Group 2

Sriram utters the famous dialogue "In control da mama" (Tenkasi padathla maadu get-up podum both Charlie barley thanni adichi 'In-control' aiduvaaru la andha maadhiri) :P and started dancing for RHCP songs (naturally cuz he was in control!!). Sathya started doin exercises..( Ore peelingsu..) Samson put a Haafbaayil in the bathroom..We din hv any action in our room unfortunately..:(!

Anyway next day was another industry visit but naethiki adicha mappu innum yerangala and v were kinda oscillating but not noticably (thappu senjaalum naeka seiyanum)..We decided to dispose off the bottle and cigs the same way we went outside with the bag and chucked it in the bin.. Due to antony's repeated pursuasion we drank on day 2 as well but just Group 2...By this time Group 1 and 2 knew that we are all 'Ore kuttaiyila uzhundha mattais' and we got together in the same room after the Iskool attendance..about 10 of us.. Wine was going in rounds and whisky was for the 4 of us..:)..Then suddenly our TONY remembers in that mappu tht he din read Bible tht day..so he scurries..puts on the reading light and starts blurting out bible verses ( Watta man!! Enna koduma sir idhu? ) Un kadamai unarchiki oru alave illaya? All of us started laughing and teased the life outta him....I am still reminded of a similar stint that he did durin our project in trichy when he started puttin candles around Mother Mary's pic and started praying before we started d poojai..Thus d name 'Bottle' tony.. We had a gr8 time, the entire bunch in dim light and in tht dinky room.. Late in the night after much talking we retired t our rooms..

We cudn dispose off the bottles in the same way, as we were boarding the train that evening...So we put in my bag and dumped it in the tracks when the train started running..

No idea wat happened to group 3 a.k.a Ambalavana Swamigal ...!

AND that is ALL...:D

Feel free to shout out ur comments !! ChEeRs!

Kudigaran Paechi Pozhudu Vidinja Pochi (KPPVP) - DAY 1

Just as i was collecting pics for another 'UN-RELATED' but interesting Off-College post, Carrot Dude *Alias X-Logu* reminded me of the hyderabad tour and one of the reasons that made the tour memorable for a select group of people which would have turned boring otherwise ;)..I wouldnt have written about it a year and a half ago for obvious reasons viz. Lecturers knowin about it and our gr8 college imposin new rules JIC the incident went public and further complications of such kind..

Starting off.. There were 3 groups of people who decided to booze in the tour, one group had pre-planned arrangements ;) for poojai/katchaeri and the other group, though had a plan but werent prepared for the poojai..Even the third group wasnt prepared for it.. Secondly, none of the groups knew at first that the other was drinking...

Its better that I name the people in the group else I d confuse you with the generics and I m pretty sure "The naive people" are pretty much intrigued as to know who they were.. So here goes !! :)

Group 1 : Logu, Sam, Swami, Sriram, Sathya and Baskar (*Tamizh Kudimagan a.k.a Drinks THALA*).
Group 2 : Bharath, Ramki, Antony and me. :D
Group 3 : Dhanavel (*Singam le saaru!*)

During our usual assembly in the station where most of us were with our parents, I noticed Tamizh Kudimagan and Carrot Dude slyly moving out of the crowd into the busy central station road connecting Moor market where *Namma Ilaignarin Kashtathai Purinji* kattuna TASMAC shop was there..Ofcourse i din know this at that point and took lightly of it. :).. They bought of the 'requisites' and carried it with them on the tour in drinks THALA's bag.. As usual we went on a tour durin the day to some medicine manufaturing company and some thermistor manufacturing company ( Don worry, ll write abt our tour later!! :)) and we came back in the evening..

We were 4 in a room, so the respective groups set it up so that the required people shared the same room.. *No offense, Easwar..Now u knw why i din join with you ;)*..Heading straight off to dinner, Group 2 (that's us) made a lame excuse to Mr.LJ that the food was pathetic in the morning and that we did not wish to eat dinner in that restaurant!! (Damn it was pathetic food there, anyway!).

Group 1, having had their bottles needed the *SIDE-DISHES* alone viz. Oorugai's and Chicken biriyanis went out and got their stuff ( I don knw the specifics of it cuz i dono :-/).. What we did was take tony's string bag..roam around a bit with the 2 native hyderabadi's (Leaders first :P) lookin for AASMAC's (summa rhyming kaaga).. Obvious we found it and purchased the Poojai saamangal and put a couple of thiruttu dhums and went to get the side-dishes from a local hotel..Scared that we 'might' get caught, we decided to empty the drinks into corresponding sprite bottles (which eventually failed and it ended up with the hotel thinking that Bharath and Ramki were gays ****censored****) ;).. We put all of it in tonys bag and returned back to our room, ofcourse takin care that nobody saw us esp. the lecturers..(we went one at a time to not to cause suspicion..enna panrathu enga moola avala thaan vela seiyum athuvum at tht point of time)..went into our rooms and dumped it in my bag..

Meanwhile Mr.LJ aka Jerlaak Holmes gets a doubt tht Group 1 plans to drink during the party (I m guessing its thru some 'JING-JAK' informer of his *No offense to whoever that is*), knocks the door, goes in and asks for a glass of water to drink and smells the glass *pretty peculiarly* to check if there's alcohol in it and drinks the water( Gimme a break, how amateurish can u get? ).. Since his hearsay doubt din hold enuf proof, he eventually left..

I haven told u about Group 3.. Mr.Dhanvela Singam goes to a pub, gets himself drunk and passes out in his room.. I was told that he scolded Mr.Jerlaak Holmes in bad words when he woke him up :D.. Anyways there were quite a number in my room who were watchin tv and we had to obviously wait for them to leave.. After tht we needed to check Mr.Jerlaak Holmes was awake o not..so antony & me went out and luckily he was in the corridor and chased us in sayin that he was gonna take attendance (Iskool pasangala naanga ellam).. He came in about 11 30 pm, took attendance and left.. We opened the windows for the smell to go off, finished the kutchaeri and slept..

Day 2 continues next...

Lucky IT guys :D!

Fat pay packets, junkets and lavish lifestyle have made Information Technology professionals the most sought after in the matrimony market, leaving others to sweat it out to win a bride.

“Until a decade ago, there was a great demand for grooms in banking sector as it was considered a secured and peaceful job. But today, the IT men are the hottest in the marriage market,” says Murugavel Janakiraman, CEO of bharatmatrimony.com, a leading matrimony portal.

While men generally settle down for a good-looking, educated and caring bride, women look forward to a spouse who is well settled, capable of providing financial security.

With bulging pay packets and soaring career graph, the IT grooms are the ideal choice now, he adds.According to a recent survey, about 70 per cent of youngsters prefer arranged marriages, leaving their parents to have a major say in matrimonial matters.Surprisingly, grooms with government jobs are no more the favourites of elders and IT professionals have now become their blue-eyed boys.

Shanmugam, a marriage broker, says people are even prepared to spend beyond their capacity on a lavish marriage and extra dowry for a groom in the IT field.Showing a bunch of biodata and horoscopes, he says about 70 per cent of them belong to IT professionals as the “demand” was very high. They are the popular choice even for girls in non-IT sectors, he adds.

At the age of 24, an IT professional can easily afford an apartment, car and a comfortable living, which may be an uphill task for his peer in any other field.Shyam, a diploma holder working in a non-IT firm as systems engineer with almost nine years of experience, has been drawing a “decent salary” of Rs 16,000 per month.But, he learnt the ground realities the hard way when he started searching for a bride two years ago.

“I was looking for an engineering graduate but I realised that my salary is not good enough to win a bride as the expectations are too high in the marriage market,” he says.Pointing out that even freshers in the IT field are drawing around Rs 20,000 per month, his friends are advising him to switch over to that sector.Now in his late 20s, Shyam has joined part-time BE course to get a bride at least if not an IT job.

The case of Ramachandran is no different. Working as a sub-editor in a media organisation, he is earning Rs 13,000 per month.“I’ve posted my biodata on matrimony websites, but the response has not been encouraging. And the very first query that raises is about my monthly salary,” he rues.He feels educated well-salaried girls have now become out of reach for “commoners” like him.

Though the IT boom has ushered in economic empowerment of lakhs of youngsters, it has also created an imbalance among the youth as privileged and under-privileged, he remarks.

I ve starred a few to hide the identity which d be pretty obvious had I not done it.. So ll give u the benefit of the doubt!

If u can remember more..I am always glad to add it. :)

Expect the unexpected ...

Thought of going a lil bit offbeat to call life's philosophy to be "Expect the Unexpected".. Sounds a lil bit confusing but its true all the same..atleast in my case...!! :)

Starting off.. I had applied for a couple of Australian Universities, One of which is UQ - Masters in Telecom & Networking by Research and the other one being the current one i'm studying in.. As soon as i saw the word 'Research' i refused it cuz padikarathe periya vishiyam ithula research vaera oru kaedu..:)

I picked this one cuz there was no research involved and all u had to do was do the units and do a project.. At this point, I got my project which is a new technology in Subsea Installation so its goin to be purely research !! *Enna koduma sir ithu*.. I got what i really hated!..Apart from this I decided on specialising in Petroleum Engg at first for the sole reason that Offshore Engg involved mathematical modelling and DSP concepts ! ( DSP was another subject I hated the most in Under-Grad for obvious reasons !).. Enna panrathu I had to take offshore for 2 reasons..One of them being that Subsea, which was the only line related to Instrumentation required an Offshore Engg background *Enna koduma sir ithu, again* and secondly there was only 1 supervisior for Petroleum in my Univ and none of them have got jobs as yet !

So here I am, in Offshore Engineering, doing mathematic modelling using Wave theory and Stokes Theory..Apart from that I got a teaching job like i mentioned before and I could find students firing me with doubts, sleeping, talking, getting up in the middle of the class and leaving et al.. Ithu ellam naanum pannum bothu enaku puriyalaye?!..Now i feel how our "ANNAMALAI UNIV" ME graduate exchange program staff would ve felt the same way..So frm now onwards I will NEVER tease our UG lecturers..EVER
( Jus kidding :P)!

This one again is known to quite a few in class but it's quite a prank worth mentioning..The effect of this prank were many but one of them was that Gokulnath threw his mobile and card and dint have a mobile till our course ( So much was his frustration !! :P)

Ok starting off, Gokul to keep up with the trend got himself a Nk 1100 with a Hutch prepaid connection ( the 98845 series ) and was pretty careful in givin out his mobile number to others as he din want ppl to give his number to girls who ll call him and torture him thereby makin him lose concentration on his studies...( DUh!!)

Anyway a lil intro about Gokul aka 'Thunder armpit'.. He was also called Akulnath, Anikulnath and Snowkulnath respectively.. He was particularly interested in cold places like Himalayas for 2 obvious reasons ;).. I could damage his repute at this point but that would dilute the essence of the prank we played on him..So ll save it for later..:D

I cant remember some parts of the story, however ll write as much as I can remember... As usual raghu & me were the ones involved :D in this prank and this was at a time when 'Aircel' had unlimited free local sms to all mobiles.. I still believe the both of us drove aircel to a total loss by sending the maximum no of sms's in a day :P ( My mob no : 9841613684 / Fact : The sms counter in my sony ericsson mobile reads 57,600 within 10 months of buyin it !) that we got a 100 sms/day limit..

I dont remember how we got his number or why we picked on him to play the prank (may be raghu could help me out !) ..I m just guessing we got the number from 'Mundhanai Mudichu' K.Bhakyaraj aka Gopinath.. Well me & raghu teamed up to tease gokul ( we had done it before when swami tried to pull a stint and we ended up screwing his happiness :D !!) and we started to msg him at random ofcourse since our sms's were free..We did come to know that he had a soft corner for anitha ;) and pulled priyanka's name as the other girl and started creating a scenario like both of em were gawkin for him !! ;).. Unfortunately (and fortunately for us) he fell for it hook, line & sinker...He was basically amazed at first as to how these girls got his number which he had kept a secret (raanuva ragasiyam illaya?!) but enna panrathu Oru MANMADHANukkaga ponnunga alayirathu sagajam thaane?!

Anyways back to de story, He believed that both of em were smsin him and we could pretty much observe a change in his attitude ( basically he started to think too much too of himself ) and he used to walk head high into class... And ofcourse me & raghu made a deal to send each other a copy of the sms's sent to him and the corresponding replies..He was on cloud 9 that Anitha (who he had a soft corner for) was smsin (lame-o) him and there was this incident when he found he found out tht she had a fever o somethin and sent an sms to raghu like "I know u have fever that's why I prayed for you" (Romantic isn't it :D)..Another incident was in one of our university labs when he shyly went and asked a doubt to her (nelinjifying :P) .. I had the chance to observe it and i conveyed it to raghu who sent an sms like "Thanks for your concern abt me..I wanted to thank you when u came to ask a doubt to me..".. This kinda went on in the romantic way for some time but he always used to reject my sms's, replying rudely always simply cuz he preferred to sms raghu ..

I m guessin he din sleep that night (Pachai nirame...Sakiiye..Snegithiye...etc...:P).. There was this time he started sending 'Dating' service msg's to me and raghu , those dumb service msgs u get if u have a hutch connection ( What was he thinking ???!! )..Everyday we used to get those dating msgs ( Kadhal panrathu na thaan sindhichi kavidhai eludhanum, mokka madhiri service msg ellam forward pana kudathu, wat do u say ? )..This leg pulling went on for like a month and a half and all we could notice was his EGO bloat and drastic attitude change and one fine day he sends the famous (infamous) to Raghu (Anitha) as "MANASU VALIKIDHU...., PURINJIKO..." :P (Idhu kooda SETHU padathilendhu sutta dialogue!!). We couldn take it anymore so we decided to break the ice and we basically scolded him back *censored*.. He eventually found out our numbers from classmates and threw his mobile and disconnected his connection..

*From Raghu* - He gave a romantic look to priyanka ( Metukudi padathla goundamani karthik kitte nagmakku 'romantic look' uttu kaamipaaru le andha madhiri !! :)) thinking she was smsing him :D

He never used a mobile till the end of our course.. * THE SAD ENDING * of a PRANK :P

Family Planning !!

Edit : Pic added !

Even though I havent sketched out the pic I had in mind whic I intend to add in later, I thought I d write about a recent conversation between Prathap & me and how impressed I was after listening to his determination and enthusiasm towards achieveing his goals.. Hats off to him for his determination in Family Planning.

*Family planning is not "Kudumba Kattupaadu" so don get the wrong idea about Prathap - I m actually praising him*

To start off, I have read many articles in newspapers and general columns about youngsters like us not starting our own business and becoming enterpreneurs but pretty satisfied with our jobs and continue to work as employees theoughout our lives.

One such exception is Prathap and his idea of business development and product outline really impressed me..None can think BIG like him , atleast in our age.. We might be seein another Ambani soon..

Anyway as you all know, Prathap has resigned his job in wipro even though it was in VLSI which is an upcoming technology to join Robert Bosch to do "Automobile Electronics" design. Prior to this, he sent Nivedana to US to study "Industrial Engineering" as part of his master plan..

Relating both words, we get his simple plan to start an "Automobile Industry" using comcepts of "Electronics Engineering" ( yeah again back to P-N junction diode, signals, transistors and the like).. His vision was to launch a two wheeler by the name "JUNCTION BIKE" JB(TM) ..

Whats special about this bike? How can it compete when top runners like scooty, spirit and others are on the market.?

The reason here is electronics..It utilises the concept of telepathy (ESB, MSI, POC etc..) to reduce the length of the seat depending upon the degree of charisma between the boy and the girl..This means better the romantic spark between boy and girl, the shorter the length of the seat and vice versa..So if your seat is the size of a 15 cm ruler, you d know better :).. This bike uses signals and diodes so than the P-N junction can be used to forward bias and reverse bias the seat length :P

He plans to call the bike "Lover-420" and the name of the company would be "PN Automobiles India" and is equipped with a free 'Dating Manual' exclusively signed by Prathap bsed on his dating experiences..

The vehicle is set to hit indian roads soon and prathap is still working on the wheatstone bridge part of it..

Fianlly, hats off to this future enterpreneur for his continuing services!!
