I was standing next to him in a lonely beach at dusk. I kept my tears to myself. I don't remember how long i stood there like that...
It was just another dreamy day. My mind was filled with happiness that knew no bounds when i saw him coming towards me. My heart started beating fast. But all this happiness did not last long. My eyes twinkled brightly with real love, but my lips parted each other for a fake smile..I was able to feel the pain in my soul...
I was able to convey my best wishes to him through signed language, he understood that and said thank u in signed language again.
How else can i show him that i am happy on receiving his wedding invitation, since i am both deaf and dumb (but not soulless)!!!!I was able to hear the weeping of my heart and able to feel the smile in his heart!!!!
NOW GO BACK AND READ THE STORY AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING....
As years roll on, tamil flim industry is really making very good science fiction movies. Here let us take the mega-hit of the decade, ENDHIRAN and another science-fiction tamil flim "7 am arivu".
The dialogues, that Writer Sujatha has written for the movie endhiran was really awesome. I watched the movie thrice, only to listen to those dialogues again and again. I am a die-hard fan of sujatha and his works.
I was able to understand the technical words that were used in the dialogue of the hero (ofcourse, SUPER STAR RAJNIKANTH) and the villain.
This movie increased my involvement in the Artificial Intelligence paper!!!! :)) i scored 89% in AI. Ever since i was a kid, i always liked to watch science-fiction movies in english like TERMINATOR, AI, ET, MARS ATTACKS, INDEPENDENCE DAY etc.
My family is well educated, and i must thank the elders in my family for taking much strain and explaining to me the concepts in those movies.
As i have already discussed enough about the future and AI in one of my old posts, let me not discuss about it in detail now.
The second science fiction cum infotainment movie is "7 am arivu". the much hyped words are "Hypnotism" and "Bhodhi dharma". I watched this movie in a theatre in my town.I came to know many things which i had never heard of before. bhodhidharma history in tamil
Please click on the above link, and watch the video.
History talks about the warrior sage in other way.Let us pay a visit to the cave of bhodhidharma. bhodhidharma cave
I took GRE(Graduate Record Examination) on november-2-2011. In this post, i am writing my experience. After attending weekend classes for GRE in one of the institutes in chennai for nearly 2.5 months, i finally decided to appear for the exam in the first week of november.
My faculties for math and verbal taught very well, that i am very thankful to them. My math faculty was very friendly and he was available at any time to clarify our doubts. My verbal faculty was also too good to be forgotten. She encouraged me very well. This sudden idea to take gre mushroomed in my brain after my visit to scotland.
This was the first competitive exam i took after joining in college. The rules in the prometric test center @ nungambakkam chennai, were new to me. It was a well maintained, calm and clean place. Test takers came with their passports. Later, i came to know that passport is mandatory for the exam. I was not supposed to take my mobile, paper, waterbottle, pen etc. They provided pencil and scratch papers for the test-takers.
The only break time in which i am allowed to go out was during the 10 minutes break after awa, and three sections.
I was extremely thirsty, hungry and tired. I used the interval very effectively to refresh my brain. I ate some buiscuits and went to restroom. I am very good in math than in english. Luckily, i got the experimental section as quantitative reasoning. I was able to secure 304/340 in total in the revised gre.
148 in verbal and 156 in math!!! I discussed with some of my friends who took the exam in the month of november; all of them congratulated me for my score.
I took nearly 5 full gre tests before appearing for the final exam. I suggest the readers to take as many full length mock tests as possible before taking the main exam. This is very much advised for those who take computer-based test, as they need to develop their concentration power for nearly 3 long hours in a stretch. I would also suggest that test-takers should memorize as many gre words as possible. This will certainly help them to do reading comprehension well. My gre regime, as a whole extended from august till november, during which period, i prepared for the exam for atleast 2 hours a day.
All the best for the gre test-takers of the future!!!! :-)
The baby was brought to her grandma's house. It was a rainy day. The baby was just two days old. It laid still in the hands of her grandma, since it is a new born one, it is unable to distinguish day and night and slept most of the time.
The baby is given cow's milk and was brought up by her grandma and grandpa. When she was one year old, she said "mumma" for the first time. But her mum was not with her to listen to those first sweet words from her baby.
Immediately on hearing this, the baby's grandma called her daughter, who was still busy with her lawyer, fighting to get the divorce from her husband, who doubted her conduct and said that he was not the father of that baby.(though DNA results assured that he is the biological father).
There were reasons behind him, not accepting the baby as his biological daughter because, he expected more dowry from his father and mother in-laws.
The innocent girl who was born was given to her grandparents by her mother, to take care of her, till she gets justice from the court of law.
The girl was named by her grandparents as MONISHA. When monisha was 3 years old, she was sent to kindergarten like all other kids of her age.
Before entering into the kindergarten, monisha's world was fully occupied by her grandparents, who did not tell the girl, anything about her parents.
But after entering into the kindergarten and making few friends with other kids, monisha came to know that , other kids have what they call as "mum" and "dad", who came regularly to the kindergarten either to feed lunch or to take their child home.
One day monisha, could not control her excitement and asked her grandma, who was feeding her lunch "patti amma na enna? appa na enna?"
The old lady was excited when those words came out of the little girls curled mouth.She said "apparama solrean da chellam!!!! ippo nee indha oru vaya vangikuviyam, patti unakku ootuvaenam, seriya?"
"um seri"
The old lady immediately called her daughter that day and told her, that monisha asked the meaning of mum and dad that day, during the lunch break.
The poor and helpless mother, who saw her for the last time, before 2 years, cried silently when she was said about her daughter.
Years rolled.
Monisha was five years old, and it was her birthday, when she met a lady after school, who took monisha to her grandparents house.
On the way to home, Monisha asked "neengha yaaru?" the lady was overwhelmed by tears and two fat tear drops fell from her chin to the ground, on hearing her daughter's voice after 5 years.
She cried and hugged her daughter, she was unable to control herself. Words came out from her mouth interrupted by her sobbing "monisha naan dhan da unnoda amma".
Monisha was surprised and also excited at the same time. She asked "neengha dhan ennoda ammava? appo appa yaaru? ennoda friends elarukkum amma, appa nu rendu paer irukkangha, ennakku amma mattum dhaana?"
Her mum was listening to her sweet voice, that she did not hear what she was asking. Her mum took monisha to her grandparents house. After bathing monisha, her mum gave her all the new dresses and chocolates that she had brought for her. She took her to a toys shop and bought all the things that she asked for. Monisha's mother stayed with her till that night.
Monisha grew highly fond of her mum, that she hugged her while sleeping. Monisha was very tired after shopping with her mother, that she slept the next moment when she was put in bed.
The next day dawned, Monisha's mother woke her up. She bathed her, and took her to her school.
Outside the school, Monisha asked her mother to bend, and she kissed her mother on her cheek!!!!!!!!!!!!
and said "amma inikku neengha lunch eduthutu vareenghala?" Her mum was hugely surprised and she said " seri da moni". Her mother started weeping and monisha left for the class.
During lunch break, her grand ma came with the lunch, and when monisha asked about her mum, she replied, "silarukku panam mukkiyama theriyudhu, silarukku pasam mukkiyama theriyudhu, nee azhadhada chellam, amma unnoda adutha birthday ku nichayam varuvangha".
Internet addiction is becoming very common among teens today. Not only teens, in some rare cases even adults are getting addicted. Especially social networking sites like facebook are making things worse. It doesnot mean that i am not using internet at all. I agree with those who argue about the advantages of internet, which contains huge amount of data about all possible things from 10^-12 to 10^12. We can find so much of raw data ranging from minute atoms to large galaxies in the web.There are people who showcase their talents in the internet by creating a website for their own photography, blogs and paintings. By this method, they reach out to people far and wide.
Internet is regarded as a powerful media, in which any news can be spreaded even faster than a forest fire.
There are people who misuse the internet by posting porn videos and this encourages many pedophiles.
As every technology has got both positive side and negative side, internet also has positive and negative impacts on the society.
Crime rates increase in some countries, because of orkut. People should be aware of the dangers posed by sharing personal information in social networking sites with strangers.
PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO WHICH HIGHLIGHTS BOTH THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF USING FACEBOOK.
I think this video explains the negative side of using the facebook to share data with strangers, with a little bit of humour. I now think that the title for this post should have been "FACEBOOK ADDICTION" instead of "internet addiction".
Some people are extremely addicted that they live with facebook in their lives, posting every incident that happens in their daily life. Some of my friends in facebook are highly addicted to it that i see them posting something everyday. They are addicted to facebook.
I hope this post will help someone, or change someone's mind, as not to post personal things in facebook.
The world is large and different types of people live in it, what may look good for one person may not suit another.
Likewise, people may post something that may really look funny to them, but it may hurt someone's feelings.
So, in short facebook and internet are powerful medias which can be used for good purposes or for bad purposes.
P.S- Whatever i have posted above is my personal view of the world of internet. Views and opinions may differ from people to people. Your valuable comments are most welcome. Thank u for ur patience.
this is the first day of my department's symposium. I created this video. Pointers 2k10.-A NATIONAL LEVEL TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM. I participated in the quiz but did not get even third price. I felt it is better to do something than doing nothing.This video is dedicated to all my close one's. i love u all people.
In the maze called life, let us hope that we cross each other's path in the future. I wish all my near and dear one's in college a best of luck.
this photos are taken during the second day of the pointers 2k10, a national level technical symposium organised by the DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING IN MY COLLEGE.
i edited this video in picasa. Let this be a permanent memory of our college life.
THERE ARE TWO UNFORGETTABLE THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING THE SYMPOSIUM.
1. I participated in the quiz and went till the last round but failed to secure the first three positions.
2. I got embarassed, when the overall symposium organiser chose me to talk a few words to our juniors and gave the mike to me. Still now i cant understand why he chose me.
Those are the most unforgettable and precious moments in my college. I was happy, surrounded by my friends. I was enjoying in the symposium. Two MCA students have come to my college's symposium from panimalar engineering college for paper presentation.
hmmmmm.......those are good old days. I hope my arunai college friends will see this blogpost.
For them i want to say that u were such a wonderful group of people i have met in life, u all (irrespective of boys and girls) made my days at arunai enjoyable. Though i might have hurt a few of u or picked up a nice quarrell during those two years, i would like to ask sorry to u all. U r all the really good samaritans.
keep in touch with me through facebook. i miss u all friends and the days when, we bunked classes and got out of the campus saying lies to the watchman!!!!!! The days when we all went to the movie Vinnaithandi varuvaya in thiruvannamalai after bunking classes in the afternoon.........awwwww, those are the most enjoyable days in my life. This blog post is dedicated to all my arunai college friends!!!!!
i love u all and now i badly miss u all!!!!
It feels really good to post something in my blog after a very long break. Recently i have been to Scotland and bought the book P.S.I love you by cecelia hern.I found the book to be different from others which i have read so far. So i felt i should write something about this book in my blog.
To say the truth, this is the very first book of Cecelia Hern's which i have read. I still now have no idea about the author.I saw her photo in the cover of that book in the back. Blimme she looks beautiful and attractive.
After spending roughly some two weeks in Scotland, i slowly began to taste the life of people in english speaking countries.
To say the truth, it is very much different from life in India. They live a carefree life. They are highly fitness freaks.
If it is a warm and sunny day, i can definitely spot atleast one person jogging in the sidewalk.
Children after they come to age, are sent out of home. They live with their friends, doing a part time job and studying on their own.
People prefer a long term live-in relationship with their soulmates, rather getting married. Some even get married at the age of 60.
London girls are highly fit and "in-shape".I loved that culture. I went out shopping for the food items in a supermarket a few times and was slightly astonished.
Everything which we take a long time to prepare in our kitchen in India is available in ready-made packets.
wow!!! wait a min........it seems that i am moving away from my topic of interest "the book". But actually i am trying to explain that, after living through this sort of culture for quite a few days, i am able to like the way the author has written the book. She is very practical in her way of writing and has written stuffs that actually happen in a country like Ireland without over exaggerating things.
This really impressed me. I also learnt many things which i have not known before like "hen-party", "barbeque dinners" etc.
I would tell the truth that, the book P.S.I love you should be read in a relaxed state of mind, whenever one finds free time, like while travelling or sun-bathing or to relax mind.
I found it to be very boring if i read more than 4 chapters continuously.
The reason y i bought the cd is that, my friends in college have told me that it is a very good romantic movie and a "must watch".
Since i have got the idea that movies that are based on novels will never project the true story in the way the author has written that, (ofcourse from my previous experience with harry potter series) i felt that i should watch that movie only after reading the book.
As expected, many characters and many chapters from the book were deleted completely in the movie. I enjoyed the movie less when compared to the book.
Well, to finalise it all, i liked that book better than the movie and it was a really wonderful work of Cecelia Ahern.
As i have said in my previous post, i made friendship with this guy through fb who was my friend's friend. But gradually i lost interest in him. I became more practical and became aware of people who exploit women through internet by demanding either money or sex from them.
Meanwhile i became very busy with my final project review and semester exams also that i had no time to think about all these non sense fb friendship with this stranger.
I wanted to get out of that class asap, because things were becoming highly unbearable as days rolled.
Two of my friends are gonna get married this year in the month of july and september respectively.
One other friend of mine fell in love with her uncle's brother. These girls were just making me sick.
They keep on talking about their fiance and the plans that they have after marriage. They even started advising me to get married soon and to find a guy and to fall in love with him.
Personally inside my head i thought " Life is not all about getting married and having children".
I had my own definitions for life in my dictionary.
I don t have any plan to get married before the age of 25 and i very strongly made this point very clear to my father.I wanted to earn a lot of money in life before settling down with a family.
I had my own short term and long term goals. My parents are also in the same idea. We think 20 is too young a age to get married!!!!!
Finally after finishing my last exam, i felt immense pleasure because i dont need to sit again in that horrible final year CSE-A class in Arunai Engineering College and to listen to all the stupid advises offered during the whole day by those mad creatures around me (i.e., always asking me to fall in love and get married soon).
I loved to live my life in my own way.
I loved to talk with decent people who had same ambitions in life as i. And i faced a small problem because of a status update in fb. i will never regret for it, even in the future.
Gone are the good old days when all i wanted was to get into VIT.
After finishing my last exam in my engineering degree (GRID COMPUTING), i was enveloped in fear that i will not clear that paper.
I started to make calls to all my friends and ask them if they too felt the same. (the paper was damn difficult)
Finally i came to know that we all are sailing in the same boat.
On April 30th 2011, a post offer programme was arranged in my college by TCS. As usual the man came very late for the venue (Mr.Suceendran). He talked for 30 minutes about how our life is going to be in tcs.
He asked us to prepare the modules that they have posted in the tcs portal before joining the ilp programme.
He also informed us that we will be getting our joining letter before september and will be asked to join in the month of september, most probably in Chennai Ambattur.
I forgot to mention that i picked up a fight with my father before my semester exam, and was in a mood to skip this semester exam and write all these 3 papers in the next sem.
It was during these days that i got the contact of one of my department senior who got placed in tcs.
Through him i got to know that they will not allow me to join if i had arrears in 8th sem. And i had very little options. So i studied and written all the exams in the 8th sem itself.
It was this senior who also told me that, no accommodation will be provided by tcs if we are posted for our ilp programme in chennai. I was really shocked.
April 1st was our department farewell. It was conducted in Arunai Anantha Restaurant in Thiruvannamalai. We had fun.photos of farewell.
Immediately after our farewell got over, we had model exam on the very next day afternoon and i bunked it.
I appeared only for one among the three papers in the model exam.
Who bothers for internals???? i am sure that i ll get good marks as i have done well in cia.
We also had world cup cricket finals in the month of April and we were very happy that india won the cup after 28 years under Dhoni's captainship.
This month (may) i am very busy doing my daily activities like sleeping till 12 am, reading novels, watching movies, going to library, cycling, facebooking, arranging things for my travel to uk next month, cooking rarely, washing my clothes if mum asks me to do it and very rarely helping mum with her household work as the maid who worked in our house ran away one night. :( :)
Thus goes my life in these holidays.
I am waiting for my 8th semester results eagerly and also i am a bit nervous when i think about it.
The last two months i was very busy in ma lyf.
I was unable to visit my blog and write one.:(
So many things happened in these two months.
I got screwed up in Bengaluru for my final year B.E., project in the whole of January.
I lost touch with my exercise cycle when i was there in Bengaluru, which lead to the addition of 3 more Kgs to my body. :(
I visited many places there and became a spendthrift. I spent some 30,000 bucks in Bengaluru alone. :O
I ate like anything. Weekly thrice i ate chicken, and i hanged out with friends.
Made some good friends there.
I got a new friend in facebook, with whom i shared my phone number and he started calling me everytime he found time.
I visited my uncle's house in BMT Layout and visited places like Bannarghatta Zoo, ISKON, Lal Bagh, and many other shopping malls like Mantri Mall Malleshwaram, Forum Mall, Garuda Mall, Total Mall etc
We got many friends in the hostel, who took us out to a resturant for send-off party (dinner) on the night before when we left.:)
I spent my time by reading books in the hostel.
I have read many books when i was there.
5. someone
3 mistakes of my life
1 night @ the call center
twilight
new moon
eclipse
are the books that i have read when i was there.
I watched movies like Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Twilight, New moon, Eclipse, Mynaa etc.
I did a lot of shopping there.
My sis' parents-in-law took me out for dinner twice there.
I even visited a shiva temple there in Bengaluru which was near the Total Mall on the way between Marathahalli and Majestic.
My stay in Bengaluru was full of fun.
Later in the month of Febraury, i became close to this guy (the fb friend of mine(who is actually my friend's friend)).
We started chatting with each other everyday........which ended up in calling each other everyday........which ended up in fight..........which lead to understanding each other........which lead to something something........
Huh finally "NO MORE CHATTING OR CALLS TILL I FINISH MY DEGREE" :( :(
I am trying to go to gym regularly now.
And since only 3 days i have college in a week in this sem, i am trying to spend a good amount of my time in studies and in gym.:)
I learnt a lot about a guy's mentality after i started talking with this guy. :)
The day dawned as any other day in my life. But unlike any other day in my life, i was spending the night before, at my friend's house in Thiruvannamalai. Since we (people who are selected for direct Interview) are asked to come only at 8.00 a.m, we finished our breakfast and went to college.
By 9.00a.m the placement officer called all the 25 members who were selected for direct interview, and gave us a form to fill.He also asked us to place a copy of our resume inside the application which had a couple of pages.
The form asked for details like PAN number, Passport details, Percentage secured in std X, XII, aggregate secured in college till the last sem i.e.,6th sem, any scholarships that were won during our period of education and so on.
I was stupid enough to forget to take all my certificates of whatever achievements i have mentioned in my resume. :( .Later i called my mum that morning, and she brought all the certificates to the college.Thank u mum, u were of great help that day.
We waited for nearly 2 hrs with that application and resume, outside the college library; which was actually the interview room that day.
Around 11.00a.m the interview process started. Boys were the first people to be interviewed. While many people where highly tensed about the interview, i was unbelievably very cool and i was chatting happily with others about their preparation.
I was actually enjoying my cadbury DairyMilk Fruits and Nuts by eating the whole of the chocolate myself!!!!! I was very confident that i will get the job. lol :D
My over confidence even made some people loose their confidence. People had their own problems to think and worry about that day.......
I was the one of the last three girls who was interviewed. In my panel there were two young ladies wearing ethnic indian wear. One was very friendly, she gave me a lot of confidence and welcomed me warmly in the beginning. :) The other lady asked so many questions from the subject.
I answered in a satisfying way and they asked whether i am ready to sign a two years bond with TCS. I answered "yes". :)
It was all fine. I was all smiling when i came out. :) I was very confident that i will be selected. :)
We waited for nearly 3hrs for the results to be announced. Out of 500 something members who appeared for the placement process, only 35 were selected.
I was very happy when my name was announced. :) :) :)
I know i deserved it. All the pain that i have gone through in RMH and PEC in the first two years of my college life has been rewarded.
i know "HARDWORK NEVER FAILS". And here i am, a real life example for that. :) :)
I got in to the bus after 5.00p.m and called my parents and friends to inform the good news. Everyone was happy. My sister was shocked to hear the news that i made it.
She was actually a bit jealous too. :p
Here my blog ends.
Please write your comments. They are always welcome. :) :) :)
NOW GO BACK AND READ THE STORY AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING....
