Life after 60 seconds...?
Life is a delusion for the people who never listen to their souls. But it is the same life which leads to the frolic behaviour of people to seek peace.They have no other option. Most people turn stoic with the way life takes them.We often come across sayings like, "life is short and sweet, so live it", "life is to live". But do all of us get to do that way? So what does that mean? Does a polymath get to live life as it should be? If yes then where is the question of fate? Then y should people blame fate? If not then y is fate usually cruel? Or is it that fact that the philosophy of life always tell wise people that whatever happens in life happens for good?? So does that take us to the fact that life teaches us to be a silent stolid creature who takes everything as a matter of course??There is always a group of people who dont believe in fate and tell others and themselves that life is in their hands and there is nothing such as fate. And there is another group which says that whatever happens is coz of fate and nothing is in our hands. So does that mean people who believe in the formerly way r aethists and the others faithful believers of the existence of God?? And for those people who r reading this for the last one minute will know that my life is in their hands and they will kill me any second, if I was sitting in front of them, coz even I dont know y wrote this blog... hahaha :)) :)):))

Guru & Pokkiri...
Got to see 2 movies this week. One is Guru and the other pokkiri.
I'll start with guru..
"Aap sab logon ko shakthi parivar ka swagath"
Thats how the movie begins and ends. Shakthi being aish and Guru being abhishek. The movie is the life of a villager boy who gets out of a gujurathi gov school and becomes the no.1 industrialist in the nation. The story is more of that of Dhirubhai amabani. The fact that he also comes from a village not learning too much in childhood, starts the business with reliance textiles and then becomes no.1 fella and then get paralysed. Everythng happens in guru also except that in this, guru does anythng to get money in his life. That character is shown very well when he marries aish for the dowry, even though she is a yr older than him in the story. He grows and grows big very well,, not everythng as per law. He doubles his output by dividing the power units doubly without gov's permission etc etc.. Maddy does a neat job of a journalist investigating these.. ARR rocks like hell... His background score is unimaginably good. Though all the songs cud have been picturised better. But the way the actors have characterised with their roles r the best part in the story. The film slightly drags in between but that is compensated by ARR for sure. Abhishek delibrately grows a potbelly for the second half and does a fantastic job thru his acting. Overall Mani has done a classy film for sure. This man abhishek will go a long way, he is just gr8 in this movie. (Only movie that i have liked his acting). Well guru is worth watching once for sure.
Now then guru is over i'll move onto vijay's "pokkiri".
This man personifies himself as the next superstar in tamil industry. The movie is full of fight from the 1st scene to the last scene, inserted with 6 songs. Asin does a real cute job in the movie. My vote for her. She is growing good for certain. :D. Vadivelu does an amazing job in a scene with asin coming as surya in suttrum vizhi song. The whole theatre was laughing really loud. As for vijay and his dialogues i felt like running away from the theatre.One dialogue which keeps coming in the film is, " naan oru tharava mudivvu pannitta, yein pecha naaney kekkamaatein", which means "If i have decided something then I will not listen to even myself". He does the fighting well but the stories he gets r alllllllllllll the same,, just the same. He is a rowdy in the first half and an undercover police in the 2nd. This guy has no acting except fight and a huge mass following. He does give energy in the big screen but all his films dont even have 1% logic and sense. I think pokkiri cud hve been made 100000 times better for the small story they had. 1 fellow i liked in the movie was villian prakash raj, he really acts well especially when he keeps himself awake coz the police says they'll beat him up if he dozes off when in their custody..:)) He did that superbly. The film was aimed to be an absolute entertainer but it is one only for thukkada guys on the roads.. well mayb he targetted the film for them:) As for pokkiri u can surely waste 3 hrs easily. The "dolu dolu" song rocks in theatre,,all the others r just the same dappanguttu only,had no music. If u r an asin fan u can watch it for her otherwise goodbye Mr.Pokkiri...!!!
Sorry to give such an hopeless review for ur movie Mr.Pokkiri but naan oru tharava mudivvu pannitta, yein pecha naaney kekkamaatein. :)

The EYES....!
The Street is pitch dark and deserted. Wolves howling at considerable distance produces fine echos. The 2 eyes move frantically not knowing in which direction to proceed. At a distance a huge tree is seen with a fading white light at its backdrop. The eyes spot this and seeing light and considering it to be the silver lining, moves towards it. On reaching at abt 100m from the tree the eyes suddenly bulges out. The eyes' beholder reads the beat of the heart rising at unimaginable pace. The eyes turn away immediately and runs and runs too fast, reaches to the other side of the road, takes a turn and moves on. The ears still cant hear any sign of life. The wind is too chill and adds the fear to a different level. The eyes wanting to escape, doesnt turn to any direction but keeps going straight. The dry leaves move together and encircles making the sound more feary. And then the end of the street comes and the eyes sees that it has reached to the same tree again....! Trying to be brave, the eyes move towards the tree this time. The vision of the eye falls on something on the tree. Something very unexpected is on it. 2 people are hanging upside down on either side of the bark with each other's leg tied to the same rope which is over the bark. And seeing carefully, the bodies are dripping with blood. The eyes seeing this turns back to see a 30 feet tall 5-headed snake looking venemously on those enigmatic eyes.
The next moment there is a huge scream and I wake up to find myself dripping with sweat.
If this is what they call nightmares, then guys the mere sight of this dream almost got me dead a few days ago. This is my second post with a dream. Sorry abt that, but cudnt help mentioning this one. ...!! :) But after reading this, if u guys get any dream like this, then dont blame me...:D

GEC as i see it..!!!
"Appa which one?"
"That one at the end of the road."
"Which one, the one with tile roofs?"
"Ya thats the one."
I Gasped..!!! I cud barely see the college building and that was going to be the place where I was going to enjoy the best part of my life? It wasnt even looking like a college.
"Looks like a primary school," I said.
And i came to know that it was once a primary school.That took away all expectations of campus life from me. That was the day when my father and I came to see the college staright from counselling at LMS. I was so dejected seeing the college. I argued with myself whether i shud b repeating entrance exam the following year and make it into cet. Well then i thought, "let me give GEC a try."
Then the D-day arrived. The first day at coll. New faces, new friends, new teachers, new air, new canteen, new water cooler and new dogs.. :D. I thought the dogs had a better life than me. First day, nothing much happened basically coz it was a half day and more tasteless coz our seniors were on a tour. SO much for the first day. Second day we knew things r going to be interesting coz seniors arrived. And even more interesting was the fact that the then princi was apparently just a person sitting on that chair for no reason. He was of course an acting guy for that post, but he wud have been better called a "dummy". The seniors were, to tell frankly, very very interesting and really energectic, especially mech guys. It was the first lunch break and i saw some guys hastily eating , washing their hands and rushing back to their classes in fear of ragging. Some were really brave and so brave enuf that they walked cooly like seniors into the other classes and went onto rag people there. All i did that day was wash my hands after eating and dumped into a person 6 foot tall and asked him,
" do u know where the toilet is?"
Well, crap me, i was sure an idiot,, that guy was a senior.
" Pinnentha, nyaan kaanichutharaam. Endey koodey vaa"
I turned to see a bunch of guys standing at the stairs which led down to the toilet. I knew where i was heading. I had no choice anyway,, so went with him. The next sec there were 15 guys surrounding me in a cirlce.
"Per entha?"
"Abinav"
"Aphinavaa??? Athu enthonadey? oru peru thanney?"
I nodded.
"Ninney aphinav enney nammal villiku."
"Sheri Chetta"
"Ethu brancha?"
"Mechanical"
"Mechanicala??? athu kazhinjuttu onnuma illey?"
"Mechanical Engineering"
"Evideya veedu?"
"Medical College?"
"Charakku melam thannedey avidey?"
"Oru vitham....:D"
"Enthinnu chirrikaney??"
"Onnum illa?"
"Onnum illengi chirikkuvoda nee???"
"Illa chetta, chumma chirichatha"
"Chumma chirikinadhendinu??"
"Sorry chetta"
"eee college kurichu entha abhiprayam?"
"Kozhapamilla"
"Ethu schoola?"
"Sarvodaya vidyalaya"
"Paatu paaduvo?"
"illa chetta"
"Illey???? enna paatu padiye pattu."
"ayyo chetta"
"Nee ingu vaa.. ee marathindey thazha nillu. Ippo nindey kazhil oru guitar undu ennu vijarichittu paadiko."
"ayyo chetta entho paadan?"
"titanic song metallica padiya engane irrikuvo angane"
"Every nght in my dreams.. ,
I see u , i feeel u ."
"dey ninney padaan mathram alla paranja.. guitar vaykada.. metallica kettitilley?"
"Ev ery nght in my dre ams.. dududm dudum,
I see u denh denh,, i feeel u denh denh..".
"O sheri mathi,, ninney kondu paadipichennu nammaley parayanam."
":D"
"Nee oru karyam chey. Kannu adachu ividey nillu. nammal paranjennu shesham poya mathi..."
"sheri chetta..."
I opened my eyes and saw i was standing there all alone like a fool and i cudnt see a single senior. They all went like crows flying at a throw of a stone..
"Y did they do so??" i thght.
I saw someone coming out of the staffroom. It was ramesh sir .
He came to me and said in his usual base voice,"enthayirrinu ividey korachu mumbu??"
"Onnum illa sir, toiletil poyatha.."
"hmm sheri ,,classil keru."
Well that was the first day of my ragging. It was real fun. But it came out to be that, the next consecutive 3 days i was ragged by different people each time. Ragging was faaaaaar more enjoyable and interesting than i thght. All i had heard about ragging was that it was dangerous and seniors hurt u physically and all sort of crap.... My seniors gave a new dimension to ragging which i didnt know. A new dimension which made me know them better and get friends. Whats life without fun? I had to shave the next day, call out girls from my next class, go to senior girls and propose, had to hit cars which gave huge alarm sounds when touched... Did lots of things in the first week itself.. Well thats when i thought that the coll wasnt as bad as i thought....
Then ragging went down, people started to mingle more. Seniors were just like any other friend to us. Teaching dept was one interesting spice to our coll at that time. Big titans like ramachandran sir ( Pandh) , loui sir, David george sir ( who was better known as "do sai" coz of his partial differentiation...:D) made us do everything under the sun except teach us their subject.
I remember what pandh used to do. He used to come in 15 min late, take the boiler schematic diagram from benjamin and start drawing on the board and when he finishes the hour ends and after drawing the whole thing he wud say," Ok we'll ...we'll do this again 2moro.." And walk away and used to repeat this stuff everyday. One time when one of my friends went to get additional marks for the series paper,, he said, "Put is put, no more puts. If u come for more puts then i'll never again put". Maaan that guy rocked the college :))
People like him made us alive when ever v were bored. Then when we became accustomed to the coll life,, series came in, then freshers' day, valentine's day, lotsa festivals, sports........ Hey the list is long enuf for any college rght?? I got gr8 friends. Everyday was new and interesting. It was the time each one of us started maturing better. Now it was "college" not "school".. ! :)
Now when i think of everything, i realize that if i had repeated entrance exam where wud have i headed?? cet max? well whats gr8 there? A better campus? More people? More girls? oh yes to all. But what difference wud it have made to my life? Nothing.. I am a kinda person who is always happy with what i have. The difference that me repeating wud have made absolutely meant nothing but make me lose one year. Except a small campus and a little less facility there r no defects in our college. Later on i understood that our coll worked very regulary, more regulary than any coll in the city. It had no unnecessary strikes, didnt have fights, it had better faculty who tried to give maximum attention to students. What more can u get better in a coll that came under KU?? I know many of my school mates who made it into cet, tkm and sct etc. They dont even know what they are studying.. Not even one bit. They barely touch their books the day b4 exam. They run out of sessionals, always under for labs, absolutely no attendance,get thrown out from labs, and have no idea where they r heading to in life except enjoying in the campus roaming around. So where is the difference? Is it the laziness in them?? naa.. its the difference in atmosphere and surroundings. Students in our coll also cut classes. Even i have. But not leaving studies go in a side lane track running into the water.. I know very well that if i had got into cet in the first place i wud have been one among them. Now am seriously very happy for all that happened with me after 12th.
Now when i turn back to these 3 years that passed i understand that God has given me the best place i cud have got in the overall perception and this mere fact gets me going. Come on guys the coll started only in 1999. Thats like just 7 years. And for a gov coll and that too in kerala u cant expect more. In these 3 years there was something called improvement that i saw in the campus. Everything started to grow in an exponential rate. New mech block is almost over, students are getting better, placements are really getting bigger, people fight out their way after entrance to join our coll, and all together the college has earned enough name inorder to be recognized as one of the best KU colleges.. Guess, where ever i go i will not 4get the coll which taught me almost everything,,,"the way to accept thngs in life as it comes...."
I guess thats more important than anything in life. And right now i am proud enough to tell everyone that i am a mexxian and a student of GEC.....
Life is always a box of choclates, some may be crunchy,some may be nutty,, but dudes every single piece is delicious in its own way.. !
"That one at the end of the road."

The Gr8 Day...!!!
This was my magazine article for the coll magazine. Do post ur comments.
"RINGGGG...!!!!"
"Abinav a call for u.." I heard my mother screaming at the top of her voice.. I opened my eyes and saw a lizard on the wall near the clock. It was 12 in the night and I was sleeping dead on my table with my face on the book for the next day's test.
"A call right now??"
I picked up..
"Hello.."
"da Abi... Robin here. What were you doing?"
"I was sleeping.. Great timing to make a call"
"ya,,,by the way you finished studying for the exam for tomorrow?"
"No man. I started studying and don’t know when I fell asleep"
"Great.. Anyway I wanted to know the portion."
"Excellent, so both of us are sailing on the same boat right now." I said.
I told him the portion and the next thing I knew was it was 7 in the morning. I understood there was no point writing the exam. The only thing I knew was some roughly 2 chapters in Chemistry. Thats it..! And I was going to write Chemistry and Mechanics paper for the 2nd series. Well, with all might I went to write the exam. There was not much for me to write in that paper...Scribbled something here and there.
Well thats that..! Though I saw many initials like BOD and COD in the paper it was useless for me to think over something I didn’t know. So I gave the paper back with no idea why I wrote the paper. I came out and got 3 hours to study for mechanics because I left the hall 1 hour before the end of the exam. So I decided not to have lunch and went on to study Mechanics with my friends. As I expected I had no idea what they were talking about. So I begged one of them to teach me something for 20 marks at least. One of them taught me some friction and ladder stuff and by the time I could digest everything into my head it was time for the exam. So there I was to enter another battle field with no weapons, no army, and also not knowing for which side I was fighting for. I went in and found out that there wasn’t a single question from friction and ladder. I laughed looking at the paper and the person who sat near me thought I was going to crack the paper. I turned around and saw my classmates and found out that half of them gave me almost the same look I could have given if I saw a mirror.
So at least I had an army finally. But sure enough, an army geared up for losing. I wanted to write something but no use. It was worse than the morning Chemistry paper and I actually saw the pulleys on the question paper move up and down..!!
Well, guess what ,,,I left the hall before the first half an hour. I created two records on the same day leaving the hall well before the end. What an amazing day..! And the next day was civil and BME. I hoped I would study something for that at least. So I went home and on the way in the city bus I realised that my pocket was very light. I checked and saw that my purse was missing...I was naturally thrown out of the bus. So that made me walk 4 kilometers till home. I thought of hitch-hiking and luckily one guy stopped his bike. On the way his bike got punctured. Another bad luck. I had to walk the rest of the way home. So I walked 2 kms and reached home. I found my house locked. Unbelievable ... How could so many things happen on the very same day?? I rang them to their mobile from the next door and found out that they were at a hospital as one of their friends met with an accident. So there I stood in front of my house without the key, with all my books locked inside for the next day's exam. It was clear that I was heading for another Jallian Walla Bagh the next day…...!!
I sat in my neighbour's house having no idea what I had to study. And imagine, it was civil and mechanical, both the subjects were loaded with theory. Thinking about it i fell asleep in their couch. My parents reached home by 9 in the night. Went in and had our dinner. Then I sat to study something for the next day's exam when there was a power failure . Luck could not favour me more in any other form. It was in its full flow. A first year guy could not have asked for a worse situation having a civil book in his hand at 10 in the night and that too in front of a candle light.
With the plight I was in, I had no clue what I was reading, when I heard my neighbour scream..!! We all rushed out. She was in tears. Her kid was missing. All of us searched the whole compound but no use.. We started searching in different directions. I started looking for that 4 year old in the middle of the night with a damned torch light which apparently gave no light. I went so far that I went right in front of a huge dog which rather looked like it was in search for some bones and meat. I gulped looking at it and it started starring at me. The dog was, for my good luck, a Doberman. I froze to -273K and slowly turned around when I heard a ‘grrr’ sound from that great dog. The next thing my mind started telling me was ‘Run… u idiot, what are you waiting for??’ I didn’t know why I ran but I ran at full speed faster than any guy of my age could even imagine to run. And the funniest part was that the dog was running as if it was some Mexican horse with a strength of an African elephant. I guess I produced around a million litres of adrenalin in a fraction of a second. I kept running and running... While I ran I was angry with myself thinking why the hell I ran. I had no idea where I was running. I jumped over a compound wall and found out that I entered another house which had a German Shepherd waiting to hog me. I could not ask for this situation anywhere else in my life at any point of time… The scintillating Doberman waited for me outside. Seeing the other dog inside I got over the compound wall and started running on the wall.
And I saw both the dogs running in parallel with me on both the sides of the compound wall. In this enigmatic situation I didn’t know whether I should stop running or not. For a second I imagined million things, why I came to this place, why God created such an animal or rather why didn’t He give me wings to fly.
I started sweating like hell. As there was no power supply and only moonlight I didn’t know I was reaching the end of the wall. When I reached the end I went straight 90 degrees downward and landed the road with a huge THUD...!!!
When I opened my eyes I saw the same lizard on the wall near the clock and the time was 12 midnight and I heard my mother scream...
"Abinav a call for you.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"RINGGGG...!!!!"
"Abinav a call for u.." I heard my mother screaming at the top of her voice.. I opened my eyes and saw a lizard on the wall near the clock. It was 12 in the night and I was sleeping dead on my table with my face on the book for the next day's test.
"A call right now??"
I picked up..
"Hello.."
"da Abi... Robin here. What were you doing?"
"I was sleeping.. Great timing to make a call"
"ya,,,by the way you finished studying for the exam for tomorrow?"
"No man. I started studying and don’t know when I fell asleep"
"Great.. Anyway I wanted to know the portion."
"Excellent, so both of us are sailing on the same boat right now." I said.
I told him the portion and the next thing I knew was it was 7 in the morning. I understood there was no point writing the exam. The only thing I knew was some roughly 2 chapters in Chemistry. Thats it..! And I was going to write Chemistry and Mechanics paper for the 2nd series. Well, with all might I went to write the exam. There was not much for me to write in that paper...Scribbled something here and there.
Well thats that..! Though I saw many initials like BOD and COD in the paper it was useless for me to think over something I didn’t know. So I gave the paper back with no idea why I wrote the paper. I came out and got 3 hours to study for mechanics because I left the hall 1 hour before the end of the exam. So I decided not to have lunch and went on to study Mechanics with my friends. As I expected I had no idea what they were talking about. So I begged one of them to teach me something for 20 marks at least. One of them taught me some friction and ladder stuff and by the time I could digest everything into my head it was time for the exam. So there I was to enter another battle field with no weapons, no army, and also not knowing for which side I was fighting for. I went in and found out that there wasn’t a single question from friction and ladder. I laughed looking at the paper and the person who sat near me thought I was going to crack the paper. I turned around and saw my classmates and found out that half of them gave me almost the same look I could have given if I saw a mirror.
So at least I had an army finally. But sure enough, an army geared up for losing. I wanted to write something but no use. It was worse than the morning Chemistry paper and I actually saw the pulleys on the question paper move up and down..!!
Well, guess what ,,,I left the hall before the first half an hour. I created two records on the same day leaving the hall well before the end. What an amazing day..! And the next day was civil and BME. I hoped I would study something for that at least. So I went home and on the way in the city bus I realised that my pocket was very light. I checked and saw that my purse was missing...I was naturally thrown out of the bus. So that made me walk 4 kilometers till home. I thought of hitch-hiking and luckily one guy stopped his bike. On the way his bike got punctured. Another bad luck. I had to walk the rest of the way home. So I walked 2 kms and reached home. I found my house locked. Unbelievable ... How could so many things happen on the very same day?? I rang them to their mobile from the next door and found out that they were at a hospital as one of their friends met with an accident.
