Nothing much for now...
Today's news isn't much.. Got a "Nice Boy" tag from one of my friend's family. Pretty soothing to hear that after what I have been upto in class time. BTW, we guys had been roaming around trivandrum for the last few weeks. It's nearing the end of tenure here. So for making up the lost time, we started home tours. Unannounced visits. Last Friday or was it the one before, I don't remember, u c Sugar patient, too sweet. Anyways, the guys, three bikes two on each, made their way to Spoon's and bhavya's homes. There was an intermediate stop at Suni's, Teachers', house. Suprise reactions from most places. These are from descriptions that I recieved not mine. During return, Jazz's bike got a puncture. So Thomachan had to leave it near thirumala, was it, and come by bus.
Next day, he went with Jose, classmate, to the place, got the puncture fixed and bought the bike back. I was busy with Most Wanted that whole day. How I remember that, because I finished the game for the "I Don't know how many" time. Anyways, there was a plan for the next trip that evening. There were only 2 bikes that day. Six of us, 3 from kani and 3 from NUS, got on the bikes and made our way to Kowdiar and Nathencode region. We went 1st to Remya's house, Ajith's cousin. What a welcoming committee. Hats off. There we met Suma, another classmate, apparently there for studying purpose. She was dying to go back b4 we reached there. After a few hours, she left for the hostel. Remya and her father dropped Suma to her hostel. We waited for them to return so that we could say good bye and move to the next house. In between, we came to know that Remya was a classical dancer, a fact unknown to many. There were a few other facets of remya that came to light that day. After she came back, we goodbyed and left for the next destination.
Ancy Mariam Joshep. The one girl who isn't known to talk much, the serious type. When we reached there, she was busy studying. We had our Series the next week and we were roaming around. She came down late due a calling bell confusion. Anyways, we all chatted with her parents and herself too. She had a younger bro, allen I think, who was outside. He had gone to be with friends, the evening Adda Baazi, for the uninitiated it's like Kathi at evening time. We waited for him to come back. It was late when he finally showed up. We came to know he was into Fashion stuff and had recently won prize at PAACET's fest. After some chat, we made our way to the final destination of our tour.
Asha Paul. The bhujji of our class, the one with brain and a tongue to go with it. We reached there late. Asha's father hadn't returned from work. So we spent time chatting with her mom, sis and Grandma. In between, there was piano in the room. She and her sis used to learn playing. Not now. One by one the guys started to play on it. Surprise for all. Thomichan knew how to play the board. He played a small note from a song we all knew. That was the end of piano lessons for us. We joked about wine to Asha and she bought us some homemade wine. It was nice to taste and we had just enough. After that, she showed us her family album. There were a few "VEG" comments from my side and also from the rest. She looks the same as in her 12th except for maybe a few gray ones here and there. That's from where I got the "NICE GUY" label.
Next day was Pongala. We made our way to Nimya's house. There were Sauwmya(Spoon), her sis and Devika. They had come over for the festival. The festival, as some of you know, is for the Attukal Devi. Womenfolk make pongala, payasam usually, offerings to Her. So Me, thomichan and Binu reached there by 9. The festival was to begin by 10. We had breakfast from there. IDLIS, after a very long time, with ma fav sambhar. Sreejith reached there soon. Others were to follow but since they were late, they couldn't turn up. We roamed around after the initial phase of cooking was over. Had free food from many places. Drank a lot of drinks and ate watermelon throughout our incursions. After that, we had Sadya from Nimya's house, took a bit of rest and started to make our way back home. We had Devika come with us till Vanchiyoor after which she took an auto home. From there, we were supposed to meet Jose for the next round of visitations. After teaming up with Jose, we were initially planning to goto Sangeeta ma'm house. But she was out of station. So we called up Shamna Ma'm who directed us to Manju Ma'm's house. We reached there after a fair bit of walking. Ma'm was dead tired when we reached there as she also had gone for Pongala. Even then she served us drinks and biscuits. We had a bit of chat in which she advised us to look at other options, ie. PSC, Banks etc. Good advice considering that only one in our group of 5 had been placed. After saying good bye, we came back to Kani while Jose and Sree made their way to NUS.
About today, full time net access. So chat , to say the least, was to happen. Chatted mostly with my classmates, old and new, and my niece. Had a Seminar, boring, on CISCO stuff. Went for WAD lab, enjoyed it as well as studied a bit....
Yesterday, Chinju had landed in trivandrum. So there was his treat at ZamZam. Had parathas and chicken. Icecream for dessert. Had CT,Criti, Prasanth(junior) and Vineet, chinju's bro and junior, for company. That was mainly with yesterday..

Long Time
It has quite a long time since I last entered a blog entry. Yesterday it was time for the Holi celebrations in our class. The series had just got over last Friday. I'm totally in the dumps this season. Don't whether I would get above 40 in any paper this time. That's the state with me. Anyways, got up early as usual but college's gotta wait till atleast 10. The Idduki guys have come over, only a few this time, for the wrapping up of their projects. They reached late night, around 2 in the night, and some today morning.
Moving on to me.... Had breakfast, before bath, with Ash and Hisham, Ash's friend. Jazz turned up after us at the canteen. After finishing, he left for college while we came back home. I got ready and Binu was there for company. Took an extra t-shirt for the occasion. My SCHOOL T-SHIRT. Best beginning for the day. Got my E-Sec papers 1st thing as I enter the class. Great marks considering that I didn't look at the book properly. Had the usual round of Kathi with the guys. Made fun of the girls and trips to the canteen.
Soon it was time for lunch. Me, Jazz and Sheik went to our usual spot , Marakada. Had lunch but just one serving of rice. The excitement had killed my appetite for the moment. By the time we reached class, the celebrations had started. The guys were all multicolored in no time. I changed my T-Shirt and got into the festivities. Had my face and clothes colored in no time. Special treatment for the late-comers. Anyhow after rubbing colors on most of each others' faces, we went for a round of the college. Show of strength/ stuff. March through the main thoroughfare with "slogans and kuvals". Made our way through the entire college and back to the class. The Mech crackers were cracking crackers for some match they won. Mostly our paths intertwined leading to extended bouts of "kuvals" and crackers.
Seriously, I never had so much fun in holi. Ya, there used to be the usual color throwing and balloon bursting back at home but not with this much fevour. After the celebrations were over , around 2:00 pm, we washed ourselves off. Then for another dose of Crypto and EN, bored to the skin in 2 hrs. Anyhow, we managed to sit thru and then made our way to canteen for the customary tea and snacks. Had the break in between the two classes, so it was a quick one. After Crypto was over, we sat on the corridor. Mostly the Kani and NUS guys. You see bird watching is a major hobby for us all. Saw most junior girls pass and then made our way back to Kani.
Surprise was awaiting us in the evening. We had dinner, for change, from the Hotel Mass. Chicken curry and parathas... Stomach filled and purses a bit too light. In between Thampi called to know whether any "drinks" were needed. We didn't have the slightest inclination why thampi was doing so. We had dinner, came back and were waiting for the bottles to land. There were bottles for everyone, "Bar-ley" water, Slice and Coke. I had Slice and some Coke. Ash, Binu and Thampi had the rest of the stuff. Sanoop, S8 Mec, was with us for the evening. After sometime, I left with Shakav for KP's office. Unlimited browsing attracts me like none other. Came over here after visiting Sheik's lodge, another development. Sheik had moved out of Kani to improve his marks. Pressure from home. Anyways, reached hear by 10-30 and browsing till now. Thought of writing an entry and so this happened.
Adios for now. The snaps for the day will be shortly uploaded to my Orkut account.

1st half over!!!! 19/12/08
It's time for jolly times since christmas is here. Yesterday was quite a day for a change. Had my 3rd sem papers to finish. Short looks at the text and some "thunds" for help. I was hoping for a "good" not gr8 exam. So me and Ash were getting ready for a ,maybe final, tryst with LSD. Sat through the whole night, i.e till 10 o'clock looking at various questions, solving some and mostly katthi.
Got up real late next morning, i.e yesterday around 9:30, that too for a 2 'o'clock exam. Had brkfst and sat down for the final touches to the brain library. Time flew and b4 we knew, it was time 4 exam. Got to College, checked our hall and sat thinking how fast this would end. The papers were given out and we fell on it, furiously scribbling on the answer script. Suprise was awaiting us. There was visit by "THE SQUAD". So all of us who had chits were advised to throw them away. After a few minutes of hustling, all the stuff was gone, or was it, and the hall was quite again.
The Squad came and started checking. Bad luck fell on a friend of mine, who was caught cheating. He/she had scribbled some diagrams and notes on the back of the Hall ticket. What happened to her is still a mystery. Anyways, we continued the exam somehow. I was starting to feel bored. So started writing at express speed and got out by 2&1/2 hrs. Then the wait for Ash to get out.
Next I went up to our IT Lab premises for hot news. BTW, we had to submit our project report that day itself. That was handled mostly by Jazz for my team. U see only two of us for the team now, Me and Jazz. Helped him a bit with the report, not much since LSD was breathing down my neck. Anyhow, he managed to keep the report by the end of the day on Josna Ma'm's desk. So that ended well or was it since HOD had not yet verified it.
Came back home with Ash, Sheik(Abhishek) and Binu. Had tea on the way. Had some sleep and some kathi with the guys. Bibin was back in town, came yesterday night. Idduki guys got a house for the month. So we planned to go there after dinner. Soon it was loadshedding, so we got out for dinner. Had dinner and then Me & shakav went searching for topup card. Empty handed, we had to return. Next on the itinerary was going for NUS Carol party.
Jazz, Ash and Binu came down from Kani while Me & Shakav were waiting on the "Perfect" lane. They came and Shakav left for Kani while the rest moved to the College back, where we caught up with the Carol party. Then it was pure fun for the next hour or so. We were all dancing, singing and clapping to heart's content. Went to many homes and sang Christmas Rhymes. There was X'Mas Pappa for the kids too. On the way, Thampi joined us and soon we reached Neethu's house. There we sang, rested for a few minutes, had water and we left again after wishing them MERRY CHRISTMAS. On the way, we stopped by several houses and sang songs. Soon Jazz was feeling weak at legs and so we left for home after wishing the carol party goodbye.
On the way back, we got down at the "idduki" hostel. There Ash was present, as he and Binu had left early. After a few hours of fun, we left for Kani loaded with movies( 120 GB harddisk). Thomson was ready to leave for home and Binu for NUS. So they goodbbyed and left. Then after going thru the harddisk, I fell asleep.
There ends the 1st half of exam season, with intermission for the Christmas vacations.

Adrenaline Min 14/12/08
Night surfing till 3 in the morning leads to headache in the morning. I learn this the hard way. Got up at 10, freshened up and had breakfast at 11. Came back and checked out the new laptop in our possesion. Got friends of Achar(Asharaf) dropping in on us. Came over yesterday night from idduki. They have their main projects to complete. Can't believe how deep these guys are. Hats off to their friendship. Anyways, While checking out the lap, found new s/w and "muvies". After that,a long session of "Most Wanted" & "2 Thrones". Went out for lunch and then some time for house hunting for the guys. There's a huge batch of guys and gurls coming over soon. After coming back, another long session of "2 Thrones". Then time for Tea. "No Studies" for 2morow's CN and MC papers.
Next in line was Movie time. By the time we came back, Shakav(Bibin) was back from his tution for TTA. Cracked a few jokes and a jolly time after which we started the movie. A Mallu one (boring to say the least). Time flew and before we knew it was 9. Then out for dinner to Bakery. Mother's Kitchen, my favourite haunt back in PP days. Had a new combo for a change. Iddiappam and Beef Chilly. Bought Parcel for thambi.
Now for the reason why I wanted to blog. On the way back, we, Me and Jazz ( the twins), caught up a race b/w General Hospital and Kunnukuzhy. There was a Uncle, around 35-40 maybe, on a CT 100. He was in a hurry to get home, or was it. So he was accelerating like hell. Jazz wasn't gonna let go and so he too pushed the throttle. We carried on till NUS, by that time, the 150cc showed its muscle power. We were ahead by a small margin. By the turn to Kunnukuzhy, uncle got in front. He thought we'r going straight, so he says Good Nite b4 firing on after turning. We, especially me, were suprised at that gesture. Anyway, we turned too behind him. Yet he wasn't gonna let go of his lead. So we followed him, thinking he was gonna go till police quaters, i.e a race to the end. But alas, he turned far earlier and we were left wanting. Then to home, sweet home.
When we reached there, Bibin was waiting for Jazz to drop him to Station. The guy stays over for the weekend and then leaves for home. Anyways, he left for thrissur and I came upstairs. There another round of Most Wanted was waiting for me. But b4 that, I had to pen this one down. This wasn't supposed to happen till 12 in the night. In the meantime, since Sherry's lap was also here we sat down for a session of our old "Prison Break" series.
Time flew and b4 I know, it's time for sleep. So finally a piece of mind is out and now for sweet sleep.

A few (belated) updates to my Diary
Had some trouble logging onto the Net. Exams were top priority and so low surfing. Then there's always the absentmindness as a shadow. So I'm uploading some blog entries togather.
