Past 3 WEEKS!!(Irregularities included)

"EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON". I have heard this quote more times than I would have liked to!! and to make things worse, I have heard this for all the wrong reasons. Mostly, I hear it when things go wrong! I still have not figured out the appropriate time to use that statement though and also why people use this crappy phrase?!! Does it make them feel better?!! I would reckon they just do it because

1- They have to say something.

2- Some people feel that they have some sort of edge over other people when they shove up some random quote up someone's ass during a friendly conversation.

Anyways, all I am trying to say is that I could not blog for the past 2-3 weeks because I was busy!(:D) I have been traveling a lot. Went to Ernakulam and Trichy the past two weekends!! Going to hoganakkal, yercaud and Kodaikanal in less than an hour.

Speaking about Trichy, According to legends and myths( college gossip), Trichy aka Tiruchirapalli is kind of like this God Forbidden town in the heart of the wilderness of Tamil Nadu!! I went there as a part of my dance team for taking part in FESTEMBER 2008( cultural festival of NIT, trichy). To be frank, Trichy dint live up to its name!! It was actually a nice place except for that heat wave which could give anyone a sunstroke. I must also say I noticed a few funny things over there!!

1) NIT Trichy is supposedly one of the top technical schools in India! Those braniacs do things very differently..but I still cant figure out "(Why or Who) the f**k builds a fence across a continuous road?!!(NO GATE!! its just FENCE!!)" what puzzled me more is the question "Which came first?!! the fence?!! or the road?!!" either way, its confusing!!(:D)

2) Its a huge campus spread over an area of 800 acres!!..When I mean spread, I mean every building is somewhere else!!(different panchayaths) It takes at least 10 minutes to reach the nearest building!! and half an hour to reach the respective hostels!! whatever happened to proper land utilization smart asses?!!

3) For a technical institute, Its pitch dark at night with no light anywhere!! We have to find our destination with the help of the stars! Its apparently a way of teaching astronomy without actually teaching it!!( brilliant aint it?!!) If its a cloudy day!! Carry a portable tent!! Lots of place to camp!

4) I think NIT, Trichy is the only place with cows and oxen guarding the hostels!!( no labor charge and damn effective,I mean who would want to be gored?!! its bloody brilliant!!)

5) Apparently, The coolest place in their campus is called "THE BARN"( lol..that one still cracks me up!!)

6) Plants do not seem to grow much in spite of the fact that cow dung is abundant and available in all forms (solid, semi-solid and liquid)

7) They have disciplined live concerts and performances!! The spectators are supposed to be seated at all times and are prohibited from dancing. Girls and boys are separated with a layer of the faculty in between!!(WTF?!!)

Whatever reasons I give, I cannot deny the fact that I had loads of fun in Trichy!! The student community there is amazing!! They are smart, capable and above all very friendly. Their hospitality was way above par. I must also say that they are very tolerant for putting up with the ruthless and dumb administration. Their dance troupe is a treat to watch! Had lots of friends in NIT, Trichy, made lots more this time!! At this point of time, I would like to thank everyone over there in NIT, Trichy for showing me a wonderful time especially Sanjay, Vandana, GK, Sarath and Sumith!! I owe u guys big time!! I look forward to seeing you all for RAGAM!!

P.S:

@ Sanjay - I am aware of the fact that i owe u 100 bucks!! So I guess there is another reason for u to come for RAGAM '09( lol..)
@ Everyone else - our dance team came second for the western dance!! woohooo!!
