Merry Christmas 2007

This time Christmas will be unforgettable for the Khalbalies (We call our class members as Khalbalis) who had a bike Tour on the Christmas eve.

Well feeling bore in the hostel, simply passing time , nobody was getting another idea to waste some more time... many khalbali members (B side) were already on the trip to Ooty-Mysore. and the others girls Khalbali god knows what are they doing in LH. now lying in the G lawn we planned a bike ride tour but no body was able to define the target for the drive. Ultimately with lot of destination points we have started out our journey. a great missing our Netaji was not with us this time that because of some previous fixed appointments, which is not good for relations.anyway Neta agreed to be with us in another way(that's secret). Hats off to Neta. then Shinu-Fahad had to attend a compulsory meeting in the G hostel near Kiran sir's room so again busy.
then Jarhead he has so many viewpoints to make him understand that he will not go out of his singlet.
now remaining members from girls Khalbali, we didn't waste time to ask, with preasumed decision. i have one complete semester experience they never even join me for Shangri-la in day time, how can they come for outside trip and thats on the bikes.

In hurry we got the bikes hired from the cheta near to KMCT college. then a sleeping bag with three bedsheets and some other things we have to roam more than a night. so many plans, which to follow has to be decided,
we can travel upto a Guruvayur or some more to Thrisur. One idea to spend night on some beach, other to stay in church celebrating Christmas. so many things in mind. We all came to on decision that we will visit Jesny's home. It will be nice experience for us and great surprise for her.



And we started the bikes from G hostel. the first Khalbali in tour, one of the bike run out of fuel, Pavan was on the bike may be that is the reason he always get something unexpected. Guddu got some petrol from nearby petrol pump and journey started. Our first break was on a Bridge reason to click some photos :)... here are some pictures taken on the bridge












Then we speed up further without knowing the exact destination, i mean we don't even know her home place we just had an idea that its somewhere in between Guruvaur and Thrisur that's it. we than next stopped at a small town in the way where my bike tyre got puncher. it was exactly in front of a Bajaj showroom and gave it to the shop for repair, we had fruit juice at the place and tried to get the name of the place from Ranju (Jesny's friend) without telling her that we are on the way to her home. the name of the place is difficult to pronounce when i cut the phone i forgot the name, i called again and got the spelling which pavan has written on atm slip. then he pronounced the name of place to his best to the shop owner, and after some two three try he got the owner got the name, then he directed us towards the place. then after moving another hour we called Jesny and opened the surprise, at this time we were around 30 Km far from her village, we talked to her father and he directed us the way. the journey was great road was full of traffic of vehicles heading towards Shabrimala temple. Then next we stopped at "Chetua" a small town after Guruvaur. There we purchased a Christmas gift on behalf of Kahlbali, and moved further now next we have to search for the MI Hospital as we were guided by Jesny's father.







After reaching M.I. Hospital we called her and were waiting for her father. We haven't seen jesny's father so by the
time he came to us we were just thinking from which way he will come, and just guessing on the people passing from there, after some minutes of wait, he came and we move to her home. it was great when we entered the village, houses were decorated with lights with some area resembling the Jesus birth scene. it was not only the Christians houses even some of the Hindu's house were also shining with the stars light up in front of there houses.

we reached her home and after that we spend our time in eating cakes, fruits, and some other dishes names i don't know including the my all time favorite "white spongy cake". then we visited her relatives houses in the village there also we got so many things to eat but what to do no place left. then we came back to her home, now its time to have dinner.

Already we have taken so much how to have dinner, but we finally took the chairs on the dinning table and started some of the things were prepared by Jesny herself and was not much difficult to trace when we found more chilly in some of the things. oh ! food finished now what to do next, after having a discussion among ourself we decided to move back to nitc after visiting Church at midnight. some more pics taken at home















After some more gupshup it was time to go to church. and at mid-night almost every christian in the village was at the Church. Prayers started and after saying our heartily wishes to Jesni's family we started our journey. This time we were on air with more than 85km/Hr speed. with a tea break at one fuel station in the way, we reached back to NITC at 4am. Everyone enjoyed the tour to Jesny's home

Merry Christmas

The Third Semester !

By the end of third semester I have found something to add to my blog, before starting it i want to say that this all content is my personal opinion, some people may find it wrong or some of you might be agreed to me . if it is good i expect nothing from you but if u feel that i am wrong somewhere in my opinion please do write a comment... after i wrong things should go out , they always create a difference....

Our batch has a bad name in NITC that this batch is not good in studies and it is true also, in boys there are very less people who really want a to have all bookish knowledge and most of us are like not taking any kind of tension and fear about studies, and there are some people who are really working hard but because of some or other reason not able o score higher grades. Although there is a group of people who are extremely good in grades and knowledge but majority is not so there are spots on the batch's image.

Let me start from the start of this semester we all have a idea in our mind that this semester we have to do somewhat better, this year we wont be wasting much time in extra activities, and so many things . Though it is very normal to have such things in mind of a student at the beginnings of session, it depends on him/her how far he/she maintains the words. I started the semester with the same view and this time i am the class representative as no one came out for that job so i thought to try it, i planned some things for the semester to make it different from the previous semesters.

During our first semester all of us have enjoyed the programming subject under Saju madam , this semester she was back for Networks so many people were happy to have a class with Saju madam, as it an odd semester a new batch has to join the MCA Family@NITC. At out joining time we had missed so much time going to seniors and spending night with them learning the life@nitc. this time we all had that thing in our mind and everyone has decided to have fresher party in a week of joining of the junior batch, and to conduct some constructive classes for them.

We planned to have Linux classes for them, for which i have done some preparatory work with some of my batch mates. The content of lectures was also decided and distributed among us. Other than this we planned to have web designing classes for them, Juniors were excellent people, but fresher party was delayed reason: actually our seniors who were getting nice placements at starting itself want to give placement party to us i mean our batch according to tradition of MCA Family. now if fresher party for juniors is arranged before this placement party seniors must invite to juniors also so we were asked to delay the "welcome party".

now three weeks gone waiting for the "placement part" at last we had a great party from Seniors in TAJ Hotel party was nice we enjoyed the food at the hotel and later on the Calicut beach, that was my first visit to a beach, before this i have seen beach from far distance some two times. Happening of the party gives green signal to "Welcome Party" for juniors, and proceeded for that. we took permission from Dept, aryabhatta out lecture hall was booked as venue for the party. after permission work over one night i called all juniors boys to my room at hostel for asked their interest. we do some cultural activities during fresher party so it was the time for their talent. but unfortunately time was not in ours, Our chief warden came to visit our hostel and we were caught conducting a meeting with juniors. i tried my best to say the actual situation but they were new to nitc who is going to believe in such a situation, anyway chief warden didn't took any strict action for that, he has to inform to our department about the issue and he said all to our Head of Department i was called by HOD sir. i said all things and with a warning we were out of his room, but another bad thing happened fresher party has to be shifted to next month, i am still confused with this decision, i mean if some ragging is going on it will be there before fresher party and taking fresher party to next month means giving more time for ragging. Anyway it was shifted and we have to put out plans on a pause for another month.

HOD sir was convinced with my words but when Nazeer sir got this thing he was angry with us he called me and said so many things i was not allowed to say anything, and i do have(not only myself , we all) respect for him so we can't go against him, as MCA coordinator he is always there for MCAs. but another day he got some news from girls hostel and after that he came to our class and there was an unforgettable Lecture by him. i will remember those words forever, i don't know who said him things that made him against our batch.

Now this was the time we can't even stand next to our juniors but still we helped them to best of ours. Now u might be thinking how this helping word coming. After coming to NITC campus many of juniors were not feeling well, few of them suffered with jaundices and were hospitalized also . during those days my classmates were the only people who used to go to them for food, in rotation many of us spent night in the hospital, all moral and financial support we can give we have given. I would like to mention two of the incidences during this time.

one fine day a junior was suffering from headache and we got that he had some problems of tumor in his past life. two of our batchmates took him to BM Hospital in the city, we had a test on the day, and they had to left that, our good luck at the last of the semester they got a chance to write it again with some less weightage of marks contribution.

another incident one of the boys feeling abdomen pain, already he is had some symptoms of jaundice and he had taken some prescription from nearby health clinic. now as soon as we got the information about him one if us, Girish went to get an autorikshaa so that we can take him to the clinic, but time was too late to get an auto, ultimately the he made some policemen convinced for help and he came to juniors hostel in a police deep.

Euphoria 07

Reminding previous stories are taking time , this time i am writing one of the latest event Euphoria 07. let me tell you about the events the basic aim of event is to identify the talented students so that Music club here can have some more people with them. mostly first years and second year students will participate in the event. Event was categorized in three types of performances, HINDI, ENGLISH and MALAYALAM.
i got to know about the event, singer inside me got inspired to sing again, i though of many things and ultimately decided to sing. The program was scheduled to be held in three stages. my idea of participation was not to win, but to get noticed in NITC. some people have already heard me at CSED farewell last year, but most of them are not in the campus now. about mca's they all know that Amit sings, infact they can't stop me singing whether i am singing good or bad...
Preliminary was on Tuesday 11th Sep, it was in the big Drawing Hall, that about three times bigger than a normal class room, Akhilesh ji has also prepared for the competition. He reached there with Guddu and registered himself , i have told him that i will also come but i have gone to Vally with Pavan and Jayant. Guddu called me and asked about me, i told him that you register me i will reach there. after some time three of us reach there guddu and all were there well i was not sure which song to perform there, many students came there, first we were at the last benches but no voice was was audible there
we shifted to front benches. Akhilesh's name was called . He sang nicely song was "Gori tera ganv bara pyara ". great performance, after some time my name got called i was on the stage, while walking towards stage i decided the songs and i performed "Thare bina laage nahi mara jiya re " by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. It was loud enough to reach at the last row of the hall. After this performance i was flying , i did it well , in room every eye was aiming on me , and the amount of claps i got was really unforgettable. Here finishes the first round of the Euphoria 07.
Now at night i have seen the shortlisted candidate list. yes my name was there , going down it was great to see Akhilesh's name there, i ran to his room to congratulate him, he didn't believed me, i took him to hostel notice board. he rechecked it and we started shouting to inform to all, although we were not worried to get the prize, but thought was that we will get another chance to show the talent from PGs side.

as usual we spend night doing nothing constructive, creating fun for the happiness, and morning again back in classes in front of teachers, no body knows why we can't sleep in hostels rather than sleeping the classes, day passed as normal and later in the evening as every body was on to us for the competition, Akhilesh has prepared something for him but for me, i was not getting any song to perform there, at last the performance started and everyone was prepared for this with a great practiced song, and all of sudden they called my name now this was really tough to select a song at that time i started walking towards stage and claps have dropped a song in my mind, and here is the song i performed there .....



"Naina thag lenge" from OMKARA it was really great to sing among that much crowd in NITC. i came off the stage. Akhilesh ji has given another great performance, the whistles and claps were best part i enjoyed, the simplicity of Akhilesh and the melody in the voice was great. He sang "Chandi jaisa rang hai tera " by Pankaj Udhas. Then started the second round of the events all the B.Tech participants were much prepared than we two, even when event has not started everyone was practicing outside Aryabhatta Hall, they have given there best performance. For second round Akhilesh ji has prepared a little fast number ... "Chand jaise mukhre pe bindiya sitara " from an old movie, Excellently performed with lot of claps in return. i was the last participant to be called on the stage and everyone has expected something more from me, but i have not selected some song for second round, as soon as name was announced crowd started shouting, although major public there was from B.tech, but they liked me inspite the fact that i am from MCA and i am competing with B.Tech. Based on amount of hooting before the song i decided to perform Punjabi number, but it was a Hindi singing competition , i asked judges if i can continue with a Punjabi song, they replied in positive and i started "Chule aag na ghare de wich pani"...... by Jagjit Ji



For MCA s there it was not a new song as many times when they called me i have performed the same song for them but still the other crowd enjoyed it, i don't know how many of them understood by Punjabi in the song but the Punjabi rhythm made them tap their feet. with end of my song the event was concluded, i was assure to go to finals, they announced to give the results by night on hostel Notice Boards.


on the Finals i have performed with Allah k bande by Kailash Kher it was praised by the audience but i think the high profile classical singer sitting there as judge has not find any thing good as the other malayalis has performed , they sang nice classical tracks. in the second round sang kehna hai kehna hai from an old movie Parosan...



opps its time to close lab .. may be i'll edit it sometime later

Effect of Five point something....

I have read the book "Five point something" and after that i was a bit excited with the life at IITs now the chance for IIT was not with me but i had got the chance to spend 3 years ni NIT Calicut. When i was doing my graduation at Bangalore (Karnataka) at that time itself i have heard many things about Kerala, but i never found time to visit Kerala, now i have got three years to spend in Kerala.

After coming to NIT i had a feel of the characters of the book and life was only masti in NITC, i never cared about the academics part, although i have already studied all the syllabus during my graduation but i don't ever had a feeling of getting high marks or being topper. and in my batch almost all the students were of enjoying nature. Starting days were great when our seniors used to call us for "Induction process", i find it good the only problem was speaking bad words for girls, which i was not ready to accept.
And one day came that myself with some other decided that we won't be going to our seniors, and as it was decided no one will go i went out of the boundries of campus to have a cup of coffee, at that time we were not supposed to go out of campus without permission of our seniors. I remember we all were happy at the coffee shop, laughing , abusing and immitating seniors , we enjoyed the time , and while returning we met our seniors now everyone was silent.

one of our senior asked us .. with whose permission yuo have gone out , his big eyes made my fellow not to speak anything, but i was not that as soon as he looked me i said , we won't come to your hostel today onwards , he was looking on to me i was also looking into his eyes, seniors said who are you to take decision , i was standing in same condition. then he started walking and ordered to come to their hostel. but i was determined not to go , after he went i asked from my fellowmates if they will be going or staying with me, they were with me... I was happy to be saved

after this incident for some days we remained free doing all masti in our hostel, in a single room we all used to sit alltogether and talk about our seniors,
it was not like that i had something bad about my seniors i was quiet impressed with some of them, and i was obeying them as my elder brothers but whenever they asked me to say bad about our class girls or any other girl, i remained silent that was a difficuilt thing for me, even now also i am same on my decision.

Some days passed without seniors and then one day they made us emotinal and we all agreed to come to their hostel, and they were same making us to do some funny things and this time i was not made to say anything bad about girls , the "Indiction process" was over in a week after this and we got Fresher Party, we enjoyed the day full of fun.

The "Inducion process" time will always be remembered not because of the revolt we made but for the things which we have done their. this was the only thing which has made our class to be united and we all got mix up so much fast that no one among us never felt missing his/her home.

now "five point something" life , which was a great thing for me now it was a flop, as we have done much better masti that characters of 5-P-Something had not enjoyed.

I have got so many friends within very short duration, i will mention about all of them in further posts ..

From my diary

It was great moment of happiness for me when i have seen my name in the list of selected candidates for NIMCET 06 (All india entrance test for MCA in NITs), my system watch was showing 3:00 am at that time but my excitment level was so high that at night time i have made so many calls to my parents, friend and relatives until my mobile balance goes zero, informing that i have secured a seat for MCA in NIT.

I remember i was alone that night at my rented room in bangalore, it was the time when my BCA end semester exams were over, and at night i was surfing on internet before sleeping i just put google search about NIIMCET to check the date of declaration of result. but i had got the results.
