Recent developments at College

The students of my college were given a rude shock on some day last month. We found out that ALL the walls in the campus (read Apartment Block) was to be completely tiled. With WHITE tiles a.k.a Bathroom tiles. How silly is that? Srivatsan even started a Community on Orkut to honour this decision by the College Management. I was planning to take a pic and put it on the blog, but then my sister has suttufied the Digicam and she's in Mumbai as of now, so that ambitious project of mine seems to be a distant dream.

I've recently discovered that talking in English and singing English songs sitting in the Last rows can invite some cold stares, not from the teachers (cos they can't hear it), but from most students. According to them listening to English songs makes you a Peter boy. The worst part is that if they hear you singing a tamil song, they would be like "Unakku tamil song kooda theriyuma???" with a wide :O:O on their faces. Come on people, I was not born listening to English songs. I started following English music only from Xth standard. That by itself is way too late by the standards of many people.

The prof who teaches Office Management for me is a total b*s*a*d. He sent me out of the class for talking to my bench mate. As if that wasn't enough, he marked me absent for that hour. He later announced an assignment that we are supposed to submit on 30th. I haven't even started on it. And he wants 20 pages, how crazy is that???. Anyways I'm going to college next only on 2nd of January, so I don't have to worry about it for quite some time.

The best of the recent stuff at college has to be the news that the College is working on the 1st of Jan. Who the hell in this world would wna attend college on 1st, especially my college???

A perfect start to the New year, bunking college. WoW. Hope it leads to more bunking. :D:D

Hail Hookah

HOOKAH ROX

Just tried hookah at CCD thanks to Rapecase. It was good. After being assured by rapecase and his friends that hookah doesn't contain tobacco, I decided to give it a go. It was good thanks to the nice rich cherry flavour. But the sad part was that there was a time limit. Damn it.

Rapecase tells me that there is unlimited hookah and unlimited refills too. So waiting to try that out.

Hail Hookah.... :D:D

Deep Woods 2006

Given the fact that I had missed the opportunity to go to the Stella Maris' culturals, it was no surprise that I was all smiles when I heard that I was gna participate in some events at MCC's culturals, Deep Woods '06.

I was to participate in 4 competitions. But who was going there to participate, with the number of colleges invited, esp the galz coll, it was gna b an amazing treat for the eyes. Especially after spending more than 6 dry months in this gay college, it was surely gna b an informal vacation.

Day 1 started off with the extempore competition for me, which was the most worsht one ever. topic sucked, art is telling truth using lies. It was one of the most boring event ever. But then, this was negated by the fact that there were so many gorgeous galz lurking aroung the sprawling campus. And then the time came for Spin a yarn. I was kinda pessimistic about my opportunities to win given the fact that my partner was a nut case. Anywayz, the topic was actually a good one. If I had an empty head....and the "story" of ours turned out to be more of a conversation rather than a Story.

That was supposed to be the end of the events for day one for me. But then my snr had withdrawn from shipwreck cos he had to participate in some other event. So I ended up registering for that too. And believe it or not, I was the last fellow to register and I won the 3rd place :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D. It was sema fun, I was supposed to be Jim Carrey...i was afraid the judge might screw up my question round. 1st question....Mr. Jim Carrey, how do you explain your fetish for animals....gone...but i ended up blabbering something and won the 3rd place.

The day ended with the fashion show and it was time for some drooling once again. The main comperer made an awesome comment when the Ethiraj and WCC's rounds were over. he said "phew, that was one hot show. and i hear that the gents toilets are getting crowded, wonder why?". my college fellows put up a pretty good show for first timers. But who cares about the winning when you got so many beautiful galz around u???

Day 2 went off to a shocking start. This was the day when my main event, the debate was to be held and at the entrance i met my debate partner. He was like "macha, I'm not participating da". It was quite shocking. the topic was a pretty good one, Morality is the defense of the weak. And i wasn't going to participate. I somehow managed to digest the fact that I was going to spend the whole day without taking part in any competition. But it was time for more fun. the Quadrangle, or so they call the open ground in the middle of the campus was filled with people for the western acoustics program. it was pretty good, some of the colleges came up with their own compostions. in the middle of this event there was a huge commotion. apparently some New College guy beat up a Loyola College guy and as usual there was exchange of blows. Except for this unprecedented event, the whole culturals was rocking.

I didn't go for the 3rd day cos it was gna b filled with dry events like rangoli and collage and stuff like that.

PS: My college finished 2nd overall....wow....and i contributed:D:D:D:D:D.

Tera Bina

Guru's music is out. Yet another awesome album by A.R.Rahman. Obviosuly loved the album, but one song stands out. Completely. It's called Tera Bina. Check out the song here
Just got one word to describe the album - Divine. It brings out a unique feeling when you listen to this song.

And one more interesting aspect in this Specific song, Tera Bina, is the use of different tunes for the two stanzas. I don't think I've noticed this in any other song, have you?

And check out the lyrics here. Thanks to Ramya for those.
