Hey people, So time has come again for a Arvind special :D so here I start again in my patented style...Its been a long time since I posted blah..blah..and YES !!It again took a special day for this post !!The day is Vinayaka Chaturthi this time. Looks like my blog has become a bi-monthly event ! So some updates from my side..a lot in fact,can publish a book(which will be the last one for the publisher though :D) on the days I had from the airport send offs till the time I arrived here ) I am not in India now and I am in the place of dreams(not Mumbai..for the people who thought I was going to be the next big thing in Bollywood :-)..United States of America it is)..for pursuing my Masters in at a reputed Institution called Arizona State University. Its been some 10 days here and I get to learn many things like cooking(in "bold"),managing my resources and all importantly trying to get accustomed to the new environment.Its been a nice 10 days so far with lots o

Sun Sand and Chennai…

Hey people ! Not going off track in my very classic characteristic istyle I start off ... ”It’s been a while since I posted …and this post is no exception.” But these days have been thoroughly eventful for me “…hehehe.. Its been infact !! This is about a week long vacation I had in Chennai, to spend time with my cousin who is now amidst some of the great minds of India… the place IIM-A !!(The place millions dream to be and thousands work for and some 100’s make it to be precise 250) He is one hell of a character, can term him a separate breed of human (yes humans I said: No doubts will be encouraged here :D) who can speak anything at face let it be his mom or Sonia Gandhi but adorable though :P!(for further details read his testimonials in Orkut) So a week with him and I learn something’s new in LIFE : 1 .THE REAL MEANING OF VETTI (Idle, jobless and everything related. :D) 2 .SAVE WATER USE DEO PRINCIPLE. (Was practicing that before landing at IIM-A ;-)) 3 .HOW TO MAINTAIN PRIVACY.

A journey of 4 years..was special and has ended special :)

Hey people! It’s been a while since I wrote (and habits don’t change that easily!) .And as in my last post it was about “My attempt of getting into me getting into READ MODE” for my final Engineering exams, it’s all done now. Hurray! I am a 99 % Engineer now (hoping that results forms just the 1%)! So this post is going to be a long one and hope you have your nourishment beside you. The exams were decent and we immediately shifted to our PARTY MODE which was on our mind for long. After all it’s been a 4 years journey which gives us a very special GRADUATE degree associated to your name. The scene when I submitted my last Engineering paper :(hopefully my last), Decision Support Systems the EEE HoD who is one of the well respected and (feared) sirs was invigilating, I submitted my paper and almost simultaneously yelled and yahooed inside the class itself (What a moment that was)...all pre-planned of course ;).The Sir in whose class we would not dare to even whisper too enjoyed

A Pot Pourri !!

Its becoming a habit for me to keep posting on festivals days and this post is no exception ! So here's wishing you people a very Happy Tamil New Year's Day and best of times ahead. இனிய தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துக்கள் . This year is special for most of us(we in the final years of our Engineering) here as this might be the last for most of them who start working or go abroad for further education so observing all the traditions followed carefully to carry it forward ! So what all these days... it was a mad rush of exams ,records,project deadlines,submissions,seminars and end of it applauses ofcourse :D Its hardly 15 days and we are done with Engineering..had our last internals which I screwed it BIG (which makes it all the more memorable).I had observed some changes from my first year where we would dig deep into the books till the final call was made and now for the last exam those final calls transformed to missed calls ;) .No books in the hands now as these hands wer

Years of Engineering ! ! !

Pic:My friends at the end of a fun filled day @ college Hi everyone.. Long time ..so here is something from my side. Just some 'light' on my 'sparkling' years of Engineering. This is my final semester of Engineering and now I am supposed to face the world (rather the world has to face me). New people, new challenges ,new places,new aspirations so many things NEW and this means I cant remain the same old person ! So I am trying to make myself more adaptable to all these changes. Engineering has been fun so to say.I can say it is one long vaccation. But there has been many good things I have learnt here... like I knew the value of my Professors (who are all powerful here not in their subjects but in handling our internal marks and attendance).So we have developed a lot of respect and admiration for their good work. We have also kindly donated(rather spent) a huge sum on the closeby canteens and eateries who have flourished(they just missed out to make it t

Evolution of My Blogging !!

As this is my first blog I would like to KISS...(dont get any ideas here...Keep It Short and Simple) 'ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END ' - but for that they need to BEGIN !So here I am writing my first blog . This must be a special day for all INDIANS(not because I have started blogging ! ..cos its HOLI today) So Evolution of my blogging - aptly describes me starting to blog cos it took me some time to kickstart all this action. People say I am too lazy to to do all this but ..but I seriously wanted to do all this writing, getting in touch with different creative minds, work out something beneficial for me or to others. Ok something abt me now:An final year Engineering student from Hyderabad who will mostly scrape through unhurt ,loves exploring new things and loves things differerent from the ordinary. just as anyone cant live without friends family or fun ! So will bore you people to death(slowly though) from my next post.... Until then leave in Peace.. Adios...
