We all decked out in flowing and glittering outfits on the Indian festival of lights. This year marked the first time I enjoyed at this new place; there was a nice turnout for the festival at least from my side

To be a part of this Diwali celebrations we have come up with different things, which surely helped us in making one's Diwali a never forgotten affair.
In the beginning, I thought of illuminating with Rocket, but it had enlightened me that a safe diwali is so important, it really brought fun and togetherness for us. It is heartening to see everyone busy in fireworks, adding to the sparkling festivity and lighten up the sky at night. That was a visual delight. That night was really awesome with ear deafening bombs.
Finally the Splendor of this diwali is so great, that it had a sweet memory for us.

The main important thing that attracted me was the Voluntary labor of Devotees and peoples contributions which was leading to the total cleaness of the premises.It is very difficult to imagine that such a peaceful place exists right next to the busy roads with heavy mad traffic. But finally after coming out th e place i felt the truth in it.

Women seek 33% Reservation, Not 33% Respect from Men.....
Women have been always shown Respect in the Indian Society,You will know the real sense about this when you see the social position of Indian women.It is sad that even today the number of dowry deaths and all kinds of harassment on women are so high. Last night i have gone through a news channel where it telecast about a dowry harassment victim.Due to the un-fulfillment of demands of dowry, many women die at the hands of their in-laws.Can't we do something about this
A Survey has reported that one day the growth rate of crimes against women would be higher than the India's population growth rate, and this has become true at the present scenario. you wonder with your level of distress when you list down the crimes against women,Sexual harassment,dowry, Child marriage,Female infanticide and sex selective abortions,,Domestic violence,trafficking.... From my personal experience I know that harassment is wide spread in every sphere of life in India, including each and every sector. If you venture out in public life, in more competitive corporate career in India you can expect a far worse situation.i have never seen any young women in India walking freely in any public place, public transport and so on..... Everyone in this world is on some kind of guard.
To understand the impact of sexual harassment or the other crime on women, one must listen to the account of its victims as no one conveys the meaning and truth of sexual harassment better than the woman who have endured it. what kind of emotional response does eve teasing / sexual harassment evoke in you??
A question wanders in my mind, will men respect women in general?? Do men pity women in general, because of our vulnerabilities?? or Do men have a certain hard -to- explain admiration for women at times and pity other times? what can a woman do to get and earn man's respect in most cases? a Lot of men speak in a condescending way towards and about all the women... Men view women very differently than themselves. that difference in view doesn't mean that they don't respect women(or that they do either) it is just different!!
I have seen many women who pamper their sons a lot and discriminate the girl child, which finally lead their sons to be a male chauvinist. Good Parenting will solve all the social problems......
P.s: I am not supporting women here, i am just trying to keep the respect for them
____________________________________________________________
some people misunderstand me...that's because they don't know me at all:
I get distressed when people misunderstand me and stops talking, I feel that Misunderstanding is one of the most common reasons why relationships end. It Drives me insane when i see people yelling and screaming over some crap which is not at all true, they just believe every small thought b'cos they misunderstood..
ITS an unbearable thing in my life. Its strange how people become uncommunicable and how misunderstanding causes them to go from love to strong hatred for u.
wateva...It may be .......... I just can't Stop Loving you people!!!

EMOTIONAL ATYACHAAR
Last Nite when I was scrolling the channels in my television, I came across a programme Emotional Atyachar on UTV Bindass. I was shocked with the way they are projecting the obscene acts of people. These people can do anything and can go to any extent to increase their TRPs, This programme is even worse than the “Sach ka samna”!! Seriously it redefines sadistic Voyeurism to a new height.
This show has crossed all the limits of sanity..Thriving on negativity, abusive language, inhuman behavior, uncivilized life styles and uncouth manners. To me It is not a reality show but it’s a commercial posing as a drama mainly concerned about their profits rather than the Quality of content.
To my greatness, the show will be telecasted at 7 Pm on Friday; does u think that is the pat time for the show of this kind??
One day some suicide case will happen, then they gonna definitely stop the production
On a whole EMOTIONAL ATYACHAAR- is a no constraint show, a soft emotional pornography
It reminds me of my friend who says life is after all a compromise most of the time .While crying in front of the camera is better than breaking down in front of your partner

Reminiscence Dated:09-02-10
My mind always wanders around my campus. Just before the date of vacating my hostel and leaving Chennai (23rd May 2009), I was so much occupied with the formalities of getting out of institute, packing my stuff, and spending those quality moments with my friends, I clearly remember the scene of my friends with all tears, even the clouds were shedding tears at that time….I never thought that this sentimental feeling would pain me in writing in this post. I remember each and every day every minute, every second I spent with my friends in my campus. I am very much thankful to god for giving me such a sweet memories. I recall every moment of my B-tech life …
I came here to Orissa, occupied myself with jungle and jargon people, and spending time with scrap, soil. I always try myself not to get bored even for a second, but during my College days, there was no chance of thinking in this regard. Internet gives a great way to stay connected, and forget myself and I am always happy that god is on my side. I can make the days even more eventful, fruitful with the internet. I guess I have to be once again be with my friends to have a blast together.
But, I believe this as my illusion, will it ever be happening, I always try to be away from my friends so as to control my sentiments. Remembering those days tears roll in my eyes, but the funny moments will always bring laughter in ma life I still can’t forget those days, teasing
Kamal used to be our gang’s routine work, he is our bunny , talking about all kind of stuff and life with S2 (Ravi kiran), sree enthused me to listen and acquire more knowledge about them, admiring POP's (abhiram) social networking adventures, liaisons with gals, talking about mess food- Going to night dhabas, seeing Pogo’s (sunil Manohar) frustration -Psychic behavior , watching Thumbsup (sumanth) & Manmadha (Karteek) toiling day and night over those assignments and we rest guys cog those assignments, Tikolo (sudheer) andhagadu in his own world of bulbing walking behind profs, seniors, Kamal’s arbit arguments and philosophy of saying “No” We 7 guys share more memories as a core team in our department. The lost LCD, searching for someone to imply his ideologies, njoing movie grandslams.
Recalling the Moments of My Final year, gives me immense feeling. There’s no much work for any of us. I remember kamal paining me by inviting to his room, I always try to reject that as I listened my hostel mates calling me as sarasite. Playing UNO with these people and paining kamal njoing Pogo’s Poor Jokes and contaminating this disease to every one of us.I became a pj god in my hostel b’cos of Pogo. Spending time in the lawn opposite the mess hall Himalaya. Seeing everyone njoing themselves by kicking kamals damaged Ass. Watching Movies all together in Lab through the night with the AC switched on. Working in the lab at nite time, Hanging out at Chennai mochas, shopping malls, theatres, Restaurants. Nite time beach Visits even in rain, Police warning us, getting him wrath with our Pjs , Nite walk in our campus to find the new lovers, Catching Romantic Scenes, Discussing the Gossips, seeing gals and guys Helping Lcd in his love story, These people taming me for my feelings. Visiting Profs’ House during the festivals in a ghumbal, Campaigning during the campus elections , Remembering Lcd’s and thup’s behavior after a strong Booze session in the jamuna hostel nite, thup walking on a straight line and saying that he is steady even after drinking a lot, LCD cleaning his room at the nite time and discussing his flirting innings During his interviews , claiming that’s the reason for his failure in the placements & kamal kissing me infront of a gal at 2 AM in the morning and seeing that gal laughing at us kamal called her ****** loudly in front of her boy, me and karteek with annoyed faces.

I will keep remembering those unforgettable moments. I will keep watching those videos, those photographs, in a false attempt to relive those days. I will keep in touch..... till then, goodbye!
…..post on my hostel life with my hostel mates will be published soon…..
Life @ IIT Madras Dated:08-02-10
Our activities in Hostel start from waking up the morning, food in the mess, sports in the quadrangles, hanging out in the common rooms. The parties at night, the last-minute studying. Late shows in Chennai theaters and on computers. Different types of movies that students watch and books that students read! Card games and carrom matches. Music in the hostels. The OAT movies. Contacts with the opposite sex. Food in dhaba and Night canteens. And events like The inter-hostel competitions. Celebrations of festivals. Hostel night, the toast and the roast. Elections and hostel secretary posts. Ragging in the hostels. Finally ending up with Adieu, Fare well Parties, Institute Day, the app season Placements and Convocation the final.) Here I am briefing out my IIT journey
The charm of IIT life lies in the hostel life, First Day at IIT Madras was over with the Room Allotment, setting up my room, meeting new friends and the first week was full of Orientation Programmes. At first Introductions were very interesting. Soon had the Ragging Sessions we call them as Interactive sessions in our lingo. The famous dialogue by the seniors that every fresher gets used to ,is “Put Intro da.......” the ragging sessions of IIT Madras were unique, focusing perhaps cerebral humility rather than the physical humiliation , that kind of intellectual ragging finally results to a creative nickname to the fresher. Ragging lets an unwilling IItian towards sports, cultural activities And came to that we are going to have a Fresher’s party. This was the First party for any fresher!! So there were no boundaries for my imagination at that point. But soon I realized the real difference in the celebrations. I bet u guys u can never find such type of parties in any college!!
Extracurricular activities of the students rock the campus-Students Activities Center popularly known as SAC is the hub for all the Major Indoor Activities. It is also a Venue for the IIT madras Convocation.
Fresher’s party is something one creates a strong bond among students and associates with college. I had no clue or rather not expected it at IIT in such a pompous fashion. What we really got in the party was simply amazing. I could see no Faculty member in the hall and that was really amazing. To escape from the Ragging sessions I used to go for the Dance practice saying that I gonna perform for the fresher’s party and that’s how I made it finally for the day and that’s my first performance in my life After the declaration of Mr & Ms. Freshers and a small ‘nick-name’ game. However our seniors were so s good we were all well received and they treated us as bunnies and had fun with us , we had almost the entire student community on the dance floor. Later seniors left us and eyed on gals for the ragging sessions, looking at the senior’s frustration I could understand the Scarcity of Gals at IITs and we finally got back to the hostel at around two in the morning.
Celebrating Festivals in IIT Madras, like Holi- awesome gathering and finally having shower in the Besant Nagar shore( Elliots Beach) nearby the Campus.
Diwali at IIT Madras was a riotous mix of lights, sound and danger, that only the inspirited guys who went home for the 3-day holiday missed. Every hostelite received crackers (we get them from our hostel’s student budget), and much of this money was used to purchase crackers and sweets.
Every Monday We used to have Extra Moral Lectures (EML) by Erudite Persons. Lectures were simply over whelming with clarity of thought and speech. Citing numerous examples, quotes and excerpts from books, lectures was greatly inspiring, to say the least. They drive home the importance of hard work and excellence and also urged us towards life. I believe that many of the Lectures inspired me and made a strong mark on my character. One thing that any good college does to you is to bring you in contact with great personalities, people who have made a mark in their fields. Learnt a lot from them and their experiences. Inspiration is self-motivating and we need them a lot.
When it comes to 'Out Door' sports, there were Inter - IIT sports meet, Fresher’s tournaments, cricket tournament and Gerhard Fischer & Kokila Rajaiah Tournament (GFKR).The recreational facilities like Music Club, Astronomy Club, and Hiking Club etc make students learn a lot beyond academics. Traditional hostel rivalries, and particular expressions thereof were properly maintained during festivals, elections, Schroeter, Tech-Soc, Lit-Soc and sports activities. Sangam ground and the activities there.
The festivals like SAARANG and SHAASTRA celebrated every year provide students a chance to explore their creative and technological skills. In addition to these major festivals there were Department Technical Festivals. All the money required for the organization of these events are sourced from sponsors of the event. The institute remains closed during these festivals to allow better participation of the students. Students from other colleges are also invited to participate in the various events of the festival. This is an Awesome chance for every IITian to have a festival. Although all IITs have different set of events for their festivals, there are usually a set of literary events (like extempore speech and debate), fashion shows and art-related events (like dramatics, singing, and instrumentals).every one of us used to roam all through the day and night in search of the posh posh quality products!
Our Cultural Festival Saarang will be held annually in the third week of Januaryevery year. Preparations for this starts a month earlier by students. It is host to around 50,000 students over the f 4-5 days that it runs. Every evening has a 'pro-show', which refers to a professional music artist or band act. The Saarang Main Quiz has a reputation of being the only one of its sort. It starts at 11 PM and continues until 6 AM (sunrise), and is held in an open-air theatre (OAT). When students are not competing or watching others compete, they are often found partying to loud music, or simply relaxing in the beautiful campus of IIT Madras, which is set inside a national forest reserve.
:OAT
I made some of the most wonderful friends and thoroughly enjoyed the first year of my stay at IIT. Needless to say, being regular meant that studies were also going well and that gave an added impetus to everything around me. My first Year went all with the Masti, enjoying each and every moment. Seeing everything for the first time lets everyone to enjoy the essence .soon Realized the effect of Over masti .
In the second year when we were allotted new rooms and then started attending classes in our department. It was then, that the true meaning of engineering dawned upon me and I began to relish and enjoy the numerous new things that I learnt in the classrooms and in the campus. Of course, I participated in the ragging (interactive ) sessions and a host of extra curricular activities and was amazed at the opportunities of self-growth that they offered. I enjoyed the real opportunity that has shown me the hidden talent in maself. Life was indeed on an upswing during y 2nd year.
Thereafter 3rd year, things got more and more hectic with the academic load increasing by leaps and bounds. I still cherish some of the sleepless nights which we spent copying (Cog) the Assignments. In fact our gang of 7 members has invented a new strategy for copying the assignments and appearing for the exams. Worst phase in my academic life and the most cherishable phase is my 3rd year in IIT M.
Today, I stand at the crux of a new life, of a new world wherein I took a job and work. It is difficult to believe, but my student life has ended (for the time being at least!). The last five years have seen a lot of changes in me… I have grown both as an individual – within myself as well as a social being. IIT Madras has not only given me the knowledge required and shown me the way to start my career; it has also contributed tremendously in my personal growth.
The hostel nite is the NIGHT OF THE YEAR. It can be called as a fare well party to the Passing out seniors in each and every hostel. It is the real time of the year when all the Rgs, Muggus, studs, arbit junta all come out of the rooms and participate in a night of fun, frolic and camaraderie. No effort is spared to make the occasion a grand affair. Especially Most of the work will be done by 1st year and 2nd year students. A theme is chosen and the event centers on that. My hostel theme was Casino when I last witnessed. The highlight of the hostel nite would be presence of girls in the usually barren hostel and of course the food. Most of the Guys celebrate the Nite only for the sake of Gals. Discos held in that nite will be at peak level. And the videos which show the creativity of seniors and showoff all the talents and characteristics of each and every senior. I believe that this nite is the only best occasion for the juniors to bid farewell to Graduating seniors. Finally the nite ends with the toast and Roasts
IITM Lingo- Any IITian would recall his memories once he hear any of these words. For Example if someone asked an IITian how he fared an exam ,don't expect a lengthy, detailed analysis....He has either "crashed" or not -as simple as that ....Our lingo stands out as a wonderful example of concision.

How i am Getting through this!!?? Dated: 06-02-10
I have reached the Crux- the point between losing the interest in the job and starting my professional life!!. In order to regain the momentum and keep myself alive. unfortunately i am spending 12-13 hrs of a day in the office. I am no stranger to work hard and even i am not workaholic and i don know exactly how to cope up with this kind of situations. May be this seem to be a temporary problem, interacting with various kinds of people lets me stand upon everyday!
I focus on several tasks in a day and getting frustrated with all the crap ,i keep asking myself y the hell i am here, but still music and ppl held me strong here.i asked myself what is the best way to enjoy right now.? so whether its doing work or keeping myself away from the @#@ unless i have a reason to do so.....
