Its coll-AGE

I think this the first time I am going to write about my college life …Being a college student for three months or so…I wonder how I am more energetic than I was ever in my school days….I know how I used to be in my school….few of my pals also know….Yesteday I had a chat with BRAGA(One of my closest pal) after a long time…The First question he asked me was “Still the same studious RAGUL ah?”….I was so in my school day….Learning everything,….preparing for every tests….even for the class test….But after coming to the college I am not the same Ragul….I have changed….I had the guts to write a Unit test without even preparing….(I mentioned in one of my previous posts)….Commenting aloud in class…I have never done in my school days…I will comment but not aloud….Talking to every student both boys and girls….I was not like that in my school…will talk only to a few…..The onething which I couldn’t digest is that I am being targeted by few teachers especially my maths ma’m…..Was pet student for few teachers in schooldays….Two of the important changes I found myself I left my desire to sit in the last bench….and improved my English speaking skill…..but still I fear to orate in front of a crowd….even friends in that sense….

Though I have changed a lot…Few things remain unchanged….Viz…Still I hate being called “MACHI”….

Highly short tempered…..Argues that INDIA will win the match till the last ball is being bowled though my mind knows INDIA won’t…..Same RAGUL who is passionate about cricket…..

Still 8 semesters to go….Lets me see the changes in me on that last day….Hoping that I will coming as PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER…!!(Such as my physcis sir used to say)

The Farewell day that wasn't..!

Hardly there was a month to face our board exams….Everyone was busy in their preparations…Then the circular came calling out the day for the farewell party…rather the so called “FAREWELL PARTY”….We friends realized that we are going to miss each other in a short period from then….We know, the school doesn’t sends us in a way which we deserve… They conducted it as they have to do…We were all set to attend the party…We had many plans….planned to write our name all over the walls of our school…Taking snaps with our beloved teachers….Snaps of our lovable school….Pramodh brought the cam…Unfortunately he didn’t have the guts to take the snaps…Myself and hareesh went on to do the work of writing our names in walls….we did in the biology lab…we did in the class nearby to the cycle shed….We wrote in our benches….we wrote in tree in front of physics lab….Few speeches…..few advices…we were forced to tune our ears to those…..At last we were given sweets,Ice creams and were sent off…..We didn’t have any feeling of missing on that day which was against our thought…..We took snaps on the streets….Had a 45 min chat in front of sai’s house….And then returned home….

Indeed the day of feelings was on MARCH 19^TH ,The last day our school life…..We were about to cry…But we didn’t….The last few words of our principal to one of our gang members were “Hey Vignesh…!!Come here..!! Will you score centum in Computer Science….??” The Tiny Toy replied “Yes sir…Sure I will score” But he didn’t make his words true…..We bid adieu to our school….That evening almost all of our friends met in the ground… We did played there….. The sun went home….But we didn’t…We sat and discussed about our school life…its good and bad…We had our feelings then…. We had a promise of being in touch with each other….Few kept up while few didn’t mind to keep up…It was then first tear that we shed for each other….It was indeed the FAREFELL PARTY which we had for ourselves…..

Perform or Perish

Are Indians really prepared to face the Aussie challenge?

The answer will be half balanced…But the Aussies didn’t take the series light…Being crowned as “CHAMPIONS” in the champions trophy,Aussies stepped here for a 7 match ODI series in INDIA…They were keen to take REVENGE for their loss in the BORDER GAVASKAR TROPHY…They came here leaving Clarke,Bracken,Haddin and Ferguson in Australia…courtesy to their injuries…Adding to that Lee,Siddle,Henriques,Hopes flew back to Australia owing to their Injuries…But still they manged to get a 3-2 lead in the ongoing HERO HONDA cup…They did it just because Ponting,White,Mike,and Watson chipped it when ever it was demaded from their team….

On our side,the only negative point was the absence of Zak due to shoulder injury…but still we didn’t play up to our potential against a team which is comparitively weeker team than ours in papers….Bhajji’s poor form continues not with bat but with ball…Ishant is completely out of his socks these days….Sehwag ,getting a quick fire 30’s and failing to convert it into big scores….Raina,not consistent with his performance…Jadeja failed to deliver with bat on many occasions…India ,as usual ,is not as good as the oppenent in the fielding…Happy that Sachin,Yuvi,Mahi are looking in good touch...Nehra stepped well in the Zak’s shoes…Praveen ,besides being good in swinging the ball,he started to swing his bat well…He consitently scores runs in domestic circuit but not in international level untill that Vadodara match…

We didn’t lose big (just by 4,24 and 4 runs)but still we lost….Batsmen have to deliver with bat and if required should rotate their arms….Bowler have to maintain a good rythm and if required should slog….Here we are at the knock stages of the series….We have to be triumphant at both the matches….

“INDIA..!!
PULL YOUR SOCKS…!!!
OR
PACK YOUR BACKS..!!!”

From KG to HSc at My School

If life has REWIND button..for sure I will press it and enjoy my school life once again….Not only me many of us will do the same..I don’t know how I had spent as many as 14 years there…it’s a bit strict but still I wanna be there..I miss those moments when I stood over my benches for a whole period as a punishment…I miss those moments when I was waiting for that 3.50 PM bell so that I can rush in to the cycle shed…I miss those moments when we had Cycle race…I miss my those moments when we had cricket match in our school….I miss my friends…I miss my teachers…I miss my pricipal…I miss my SCHOOl LIFE…

I am currently doing my B.E…This morning It rained heavily….As usual I Boarded my college bus and sat in the last row of bus…Waah ! What a climate it was.! Simply romantic…As my seniors were preparing for their semester exam,we maintained silence in our bus....Few rain drops made my shirt wet ..I felt i was happy today….I closed my eyes and started to think about my school life..I did my whole schooling right from pre kinder garden to higher secondary in the same school….

I don’t remember much of my moments in my Kinder gardens..The best of the moments in my kinder gardens is when I climbed up the stage to receive “second prize in proficiency” during an annual day function….The one with Whom I had spent the most of my time is C.VIGNESH..He is my best ever buddy…At present I don’t know his where abouts…I miss him a lot..we both studied in the same class till our 5th std…Till 5th std me,C.Vi,Braga,Mahesh,Thilak,Sneha,Priya,Karthik formed a gang…We friends used to share our good,our bad and ofcourse our Lunch…Braga,My first enemy in kinder garden,became my best one in rest of my schooling and hoping that it will be the same....

Though mine is Co-Ed school,during my 6th,7th and 8th std our school administration had separate classes for boys and girls….Those 3 years were “THE BEST” in my primary education…In those 3 years I became close to S.Karthikeyan,J.P.Vignesh,Pari and became close to them along with Braga , Mahesh, Thilak and Anand..These three years raised my acads performance as I was getting a prize for proficiency in all the three year…
Then in my 9th I became crazy about cricket…I worth cricket more than my life…Though I am not a great player ….I regard myself as a great spectator… I first palyed my cork ball match representing team “VIII A” under the captainship of ARUN against “VIII E2”..I was just a substitute in that team…But I didn’t remain the same…I improved my batting skills cemeted my 2 down spot in that team…our team won two prizes in 9th and 10th ….”Runners up” in the former and “Winners” in the latter… Those moments may be childish but still I miss them…Right from my 3rd std till my 10th I received atleast a prize either in sports or in acads in each annual day function…

Then in my higher secondary I had chosen Computer Science as my fouth subject along with maths,physics and chemistry…Having came to new class,I found myself aloof from others initially…Bt I didn’t remain the same…Soon N.Vignesh,Pramodh,Sai,Syed,M.S.Karthigayen,S.Ka,N.Ka,Hareesh became close to me…I formed a new gang as I had a cleft with my older ones but for Mahesh and Thilak…But with these guys around me I felt my school like a heaven.But to others it was a haloween building…These were the one who close to me as days went.…There are many other friends for me…Few of them are P.Karthik,Bharath,J.VI,Sabarish,Anand…

I finished my schooling so as others…I am happy that I am in touch with every one but for C.Vignesh and Sneha…I wish that every one will be succesfull in their life…

All the Best buddies….

Why it happened??

The Term Tests were going on then.. Maths Exam was scheduled to be conducted on that day..…I didn’t prepare much…To be frank, I didn’t prepare at all….I planned to skim the maths formulae during my 1 hour bus travel to college...Till that day,the boys were sitting in front rows of the bus,while the girls were sitting at the back…But it was not the same on that day…The seating arrangements became vice versa…I should regard myself as unfortunate....I was totally disappointed…We felt the JERK whenever the driver applied the break…we felt even more than ever…I was unable concentrate on the sums…oops..!! I felt even worse when I had a big hit on my forehead…. Everything happened against me… Finally I reached the college…Without preparing much,I gonna write my exam and that too maths….It was time for the exam…I received the question paper and saw the questions…wooh….”Was Evolute and Envelope in the portion???”Nothing went right for me.. i decided to try all the sums…Initially I arrived at the answer easily for 2 mark questions…Then I came to 16 mark section….Not even a for a single sum I got the answer…I just left all the sums at the half way stage….I handed over my answer sheet and attented my class that day and returned home…I was totally upset for a week or so thinking of my maths performance ...I am not sure whether I would pass or not….I was worried even more because I have never failed in a examination before..The day came when my maths ma’m asked us to see our answer sheets in private at staff room …..she just let us know our marks but didn’t give our mark sheets…I chanted all the mantras that I know….prayed God so that I pass….mine came….”ROLL NO 31…got 51….managed to pass….should Improve ….”Oh My goodness….I have passed….24 students out of 56 were failed in the examination….It would have been 25 if I had been one among them…but somehow I have passed….she will give our answer sheets on Monday…I am worried what she will comment about my performance….Hoping that she doesn’t burst into anger while giving my paper…
LET ALL HAPPENS WELL..!!

Its my no 1

Its Diwali day....Sounds of crackers are tearing by ear drums....Even I bursted a few and returned home a while ago.... But I was not interested in burning crackers this time as i used to be...What is reason behind it?? Have I been matured boy as I just completed my eighteen??? or...Am I trying to save my dad's money?? Definitely the latter one would not be the reason.....I myself could't answer this...Not only me...few of my friends also say this...Whats the reason behind it...

I have read in book which deals with human desires.....I couldn't remember the title..."Human desires certain things....If he gets it,his desire to that thing reduces day by day....If he didn't get it,he desires it even more than ever...but the desire never gets destroyed" is an extract from that book..I personally feel that the lines not only goes for the physical object...It goes for the mental interest too....

Sitting on the sofa (just like Ajith in "BILLA"), I started to think the reason behind that....Just then my mom gave me a cup of boost....I drank it and then resumed thinking... If I had lost interest in a thing means,I am interested in any other thing or event......So some thing has grabbed my interested this day....So what it could me....???

Having created an account 3 months ago...I haven't posted any thing yet....Did this thing got my mind this day....May be....I inferior ed myself as my language is poor....But then one of my friends suggested that this could improve my language....So I am here posting my first post in my blog...Thanks dear for for finding out a way to improve my language....Love you loads....

Regards,

Ragul
