Nice to be at home n it feels great esp. if the wait has been 10 months long. Well during my UG days the maximum number of days I hadnt visited home was 45 days, well tremendous increase. Eat a lot, slept, met old friends n ofcourse spent a lot of time with the greatest person I know- my mom, can write a book abt it but right now am really happy to be back.

Vaazgha Chennai
This is the last time I am posting from Chennai. I will be leaving Chennai tomorrow. Hope everyone’s summers went well.. we all will definitely have lots of stories to talk abt......
Abt My project.....
I will say that doing summers in TCS was an ENLIGHTING EXPERIENCE (In every sense)........ I learnt a lot but I also unlearnt a lot........... I won’t say that the summers were fun……. I have had to really slog it out..... But anyways I have come to know that I have only the nxt 10 months to really enjoy life...... After that things wont be the same again ever as I wont be in college....... Anyways the experience was ENLIGHTING in every sense......
Well if I say I have done a FIN+SYS project in TCS which also had Marketing in it, It wont be wrong... Everyday I had to travel 60 kms....
Well if I write abt my prj but dont write abt my guide it will be incomplete...

Well if I write abt my prj but dont write abt my guide it will be incomplete...
Well one day my guide saw me typing.... N She was shocked to see..........
My six rings......
Then she asked why I was wearing 6 rings ...... I said in remembrance of my 6 Girlfriends........ Since that day whenever she saw me talking to any girl she used to come running and inform the girl that "Beware this guy is already having 6 GFs......"...... but still I used to put a lot of mokkai with everyone......
Abt Chennai.....
Well I have lived in almost all the major cities in India; I can say that chennai is a pretty good place to be...
The cost of living here is not that high infact it is fairly cheap provided one doesnt goes for a shopping spear to Spencer’s or Ispahani every week, so ppl like me without stipend were able to manage...... The Local train service is also pretty good but BUSes... They are just damn @%$%^ too crowded.... well chennaites are a really helpful ppl,,,,,, Without knowing much of tamil, infact I know a few words only... I didnt had any problem in communicating, commuting n all.......
Abt my weekends.....
well for me only one saturday in chennai was holiday that too 'cas my brother had came... Infact on one sunday I had to lie to my friends who were waiting for me on beach that I am having a back ache so I cant come... sorry guys that day I had work....... the rest all sundays have been mine.... well we generally used to have 'boys party' on saturday night...... N after that we used to go to Satyams to watch some movie( whichever ticket we used to get )......
Abt Weather.....
well chennai is definately not the coolest place but it is definitely much cooler then the part of India from which I come esp during this time of the year where the mercury is showing 45-50 degree C,....... more over chennai has got very pleasant evenings... The wonderful sea breeze.......
Well I would like to thank everyone in chennai, my colleagues in TCS(for their support n the last weekends party), n esp chennai for giving me such a great experience.....
Well special thanks too Sai (half of my weekends, I have stayed at his place.......), Vasant, Rajes along with the 'Rajes effect', Nishad, Al gates, Subru, Venkat, well the entire BIM family and of course my Bhabhi......
Okie enough of my mokkai.... Tomorrow I am leaving to my home after a long long very long time...... I am happy I will get 10 days there....... See u all in the campus on the 6th of July.........
Lastly I would like to reiterate Andy "Madras nalla Madras" infact "Chennai nalla Chennai!"

The Great Dilemma
Well I feel I have put in too much of kevalamana mokkai… so now I will put some sakka mokkai,,,, As the title is “The Great Dilemma”. Its not abt the student council, Its abt the dilemma of one of my good friend.
When my friend came to BIM he was a happy guy and had a Great ‘Spirit’. But suddenly in 2nd Trim he decided that he shd learn how to ride a bike. He picked up Mr. Z’s bike to learn. He started to love riding bikes n at the slightest opportunity he will take other ppls bikes n drive it. As it usually happens he felled in love with bikes n of course his first love was the bike on which he learnt driving (Z’s TVS Victor). Now as expected he started neglecting his ‘Spirit’. As a result his ‘Spirit’s’ condition became bad.
Now my friend had the sufficient reason to pick up a bike so he decided to take the plunge and buy a bike. As he was madly in love with TVS Victor he decided to buy it, but Zubu told him that Victor was a worthless investment. On some serious thinking he wanted to buy ‘Bajaj Wind 125’. Now the dilemma starts……
When asked why he wanted to buy a ‘Wind 125’ he said 100 cc was good as he was afraid of 150cc bikes…… But suddenly ‘Wind 125’ ran out of wind n the market also. Now my friend wanted the best ROI…. So he started exploring the market again, now things had changed, he no longer feared Power he wanted more POWER…. After some initial deliberation he short listed “Hondaaa Unicorn” and “Bajaj Pulsar”. So now it was ‘U vs P’…. But my frd decided to buy Unicorn and he went ahead and booked it, now he was happy n waiting for the D-day…….
But suddenly there was a twist in the story, one day after a ‘Boys Party’ with a fellow classmate who was the proud owner of a ‘Black P’ things changed. The owner of ‘P’ gave his bike key to my frd n asked him to try the bike. My frd was waiting for this opportunity (without knowing that this will be a big mistake), took up the keys n went huuuuuuuuu…
As expected he had fallen for the ‘P’. So the next day he went n cancelled the booking of ‘U’.
But now he started doing some primary Market Research listing the benefits n drawback of a ‘P’ and a ‘U’. Some of his findings were like the horn of ‘U’ is really bad it makes u feel that u r having the same ‘Spirit’ and also ‘U’ is a silent bike, so it doesn’t gives u the feeling of riding a bike…………….
But still my frd wasn’t sure what to do, his heart said ‘U’ but his mind said ‘P’. He then called up his good frd who like always was in the train. He told him go for a test ride n then decide, as he got an idea that it’s a conflict between mind n heart. "Any day u shd follow what ur heart says." So next day my frd informed everyone that he is buying a ‘U’…………
When asked why he decided to Buy a ‘U’ he said well it would have been another Pulsar on the road but now I will be proud owner of a Hondaaaaa….. After being quizzed again n again he told the real reason. “Do u know the meaning of a “Unicorn”, his ignorant frd didn’t knew. “A Unicorn is a single horned horse and has many advantages. It is used for the treatment of snake bites and is a power booster. But you know one thing a Unicorn can’t be tamed by any man, it can only be tamed by a …… women”. So now the real reason was out….. This coming Monday my frd is going to pick up his bike……………. So everyone Congratulate him and hey dear happy n safe riding……….. Now his dilemma is over so is this mail….. , lets see how much post purchase dissonance he faces………
I hope u all know whom I am talking abt… else see him in the campus on a “Black One horned Horse”.
