My Association with Women

I would like to dedicate this post to a friend of mine who has been with me for the past 5 years since we met. This one is for you.
Today, I am going to talk about my crushes. Beautiful ladies with whom I have fantasised myself during various stages of my life. Also, there are two characters with whom I shared a very good friendship, but the people around me mistook us. These people are still good friends of mine. So, those who read this and recognize those persons, just keep it with you.
Back in my school days, I was a very introvert person. Didn’t talk to anybody at all. Going to school and coming back was the only thing that I did. During the school days, I think when I was in ninth standard, I had a crush on my classmate. Please do not ask me who is it, I won’t tell you. She was lovely, fair and very much attractive. What I liked in her was her attitude, and her personality. She always came well dressed to the school, with neatly ironed top, neatly dressed hair plaited in two on either side, always had a bhasmakkuri on her forehead. She always wore her padasaram outside her socks, which made the sound whenever she walks. I was afraid to say that to her, and I didn’t tell. That was the end of that. I didn’t have the guts in me to tell her. She is a good friend of mine till date. So, my dear friend, if you recognize yourself with the above descriptions, please contact me personally..... :)
After passing my 10th boards, I went to another school for my higher secondary studies. The school was located in a lonely, serene atmosphere – at the top of a hill. Hardly 600 students, I was recognized initially there. With a nerd look and staggering marks(I was a topper there, compared to others), and with the reputation of a pass out from the great ICSE syllabus, I was automatically involved in quizzes, science club, maths club and the computer science club activities. That gave me some energy in me to open up. I started talking to girls.
There, I had a crush on another girl. My batch-mate, but a different stream, she was daughter of a famous hotel cum bar chain in central Kerala. Short, fair, and a lovely face, she made me attracted towards her. I used to meet her everyday. Say “Hi”, “Bye”, Thats it. Still I couldn’t muster up the braveness to face her. Later, when I was in twelfth, I came to know that she is in love with someone. I was nearly broke. Had I enough courage to speak to her...... Currently, I have no idea where she is and what she is doing. No news about her even to her classmates..
In the same year, in my twelfth standard, another girl came to my class. She was very talkative and we became very good friends. She had a boyfriend who was in the class of my “crush”. She used to sit with me during the computer science class, in which there were only two girls. That was enough for my friends to declare that we were seeing each other. That was the first rumour that I had to encounter. Luckily, she and her boyfriend took this very lightly and knew actually what was happening.
After two failures, I was determined to approach the third one, whoever she is. With such a determined mind, I joined the college. There, I met this girl. I was having a soft corner for her. I approached her. At last, I was proposing to a girl. She gently rejected that, saying she doesn’t want a boy from her own class to be her boyfriend. Thankfully, that didn’t break my mind as such. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for rejecting me so gently that I didn’t feel to do anything nasty.
In the second year, two girls came to our batch as lateral entry. By this time, all my 4 classmate girls had their own boyfriends. The girl I proposed to was going around with my roommate by that time. Among the two lateral entrants, one girl was from my native place and already had a boyfriend. The other girl was a total introvert. She never talked to boys. When I looked at her, I could see the fear in her eyes, as if I am going to eat her. I decided to change that. How can a girl live in this time, with such a character? With the help of the other lateral entrant, I started to talk to her. She responded positively to my efforts and started talking to me. This created a rumour among my North Indian classmates that we were seeing each other. I didn’t mind. At the end of the last semester, she was almost talking to at least we the keralite guys. Unfortunately, after that, there was no news about her. Last time when I heard about her, I was told that she is going into sanyasa. May God help her.
Now, I am going to talk about a very special friend of mine who is a great friend of mine, and is with me through everything ever since we met each other. We have never studied together. She studied in a girls only school and did her Graduation from a women’s college. Currently doing her CA, I met her when she was in her final year of Graduation. I never thought that she would become my best friend ever. We met in Orkut, which is almost at its deathbed. I am grateful to Orkut for giving me her. We used to chat when we got free time. After some time, we exchanged our fone numbers. We started SMSing.. Still we SMS each other unless we have class. We start our SMS when we wake up, and stops, when either of us fall asleep. You people may think that, I have found out my soul-mate at last. In a sense, yes. But not as you think. We would never be in a relationship as everyone thinks. We are friends. Very intimate, yet very good friends. I can open my mind to her at any time and same is the case with her. So, I dedicate this post of mine to this great friend of mine.

The Professor

I hope you liked the previous post. I received a lot of good comments from my friends. Among the feedback I received, one drew my attention. My friend pointed out about the professor about whom I talked about in the previous post. So, I thought I would write something about him this time.
One thing I would like to mention is that all the views expressed in my posts are solely mine and I sincerely doesn't intend to harm any of the persons mentioned in the posts. That’s why; I would like to keep the anonymity of the persons intact.
This professor of mine is a great person. Very much knowledgeable and intelligent, he is a total workaholic. He can be seen working almost 24x7 and complains that 24 hrs a day is not enough for him. There is a reason behind this. The scientist in him doesn't believe anything for granted. Even if its a simple elementary derivation, he has to prove it himself and test its credibility. I really would like to salute the integrity and sincerity he shows in his work. I would like to follow that.
Speaking of him, he has been working with one of the biggest aviation company in the world which manufactures civilian, military and space shuttles as well. He completed silver jubilee of his career there and returned to India to work for the country.
Maybe because of the experience he gained from his stint outside the country, he urges each and everyone of his student to work for the country and not for some capitalist barbarians.
I would take this opportunity to apologize to all those who might have got hurt reading my previous post. He has now become old, memory deteriorating faster than ever. He keeps forgetting things and thats the reason why he keep saying weird things.
As a student who has worked under him for nearly 6 months, I had learnt a lot from him. Its a great honour for me to be a student of such an enlightened mind.

My First Post

This is my first experience of writing a blog which consists of only my thoughts. My other blog was more technical and studies. All thought of me as a nerd and was considering me as such. So, I would like to venture into creative writing a little bit. I just want to jot down the thoughts that come to my mind now and then.
Well, before moving further, I would like to tell a few things about this blog. I am writing this blog just as a time-pass and I write whenever I get a free time. Also, If I write anything wrong or bad, feel free to tell me and I am open to suggestions. As one of my proffessors say, "I am always available. You should come up with doubts. I would be very happy to answer your doubts". And when we go to him with the doubts, he asks us to ask the doubts in the class. When we ask them in the class, he listens the question very carefully and keenly. He then, spends more than 15 minutes of the class searching for the answer to our query. After wasting so much time, he realises that he doesn't know the answer and he says "Lets not get stuck to this question. We shall continue with what I shall prepared for the day. I will clear your doubt in the next class." Anyways, I won't be a person like that, you can always receive a prompt reply in not less than a week. As I may have classes and other job to do, I will surely check my blog once in every week.
A few words about me. I am a Post Graduate student at the greatest technical institute of the country - Indian Institute of Technology, at the Financial Capital of the country, specialising in Rocket Science. Born and brought up as a mother's boy in the Venice of the East in the God's own Country, I couldn't enjoy most of my childhood as my mom was over-protective. After completing my Secondary schooling at a school which had nearly 3500 students, I joined another school, which had barely 600 students at that time, for my Higher Secondary studies. This made a dramatic change in me. The new school made a new man out of me. I was a shy and introvert person before joining here. In no time, I became the star of the school. Each and every kid knew about me. I was even elected as the best student of the school in a particular month!!!
After that, I joined the (in)famous Technical University of the state for my Engineering degree. I tried to enjoy in the first year, but many factors prevented me from enjoying. I actually became a free bird when I was in my third semester. In my second semester, I joined the drama team of the university and got a few prizes. Unfortunately, I was too much into acting that I failed for 3 papers in that semester. That made me stop acting as such. Later on, I was to known as The Junior HOD of the dept. Some called me "Peon" also. watever. When I completed the 8th semster, I had a history of 8 backpapers. Hence, I decided to go for GATE coaching at an institute in the City of Fortune.
While studying there, I wrote the back papers and attempted GATE from there itself. The City of Fortune really changed my fortune. Got 18th rank in GATE. Still I had to pass one paper to obtain my degree. At last, with the help of my HOD, I got the result of that last paper which I had passed making me an engineer.
With such a history, I came to this Institute, whose motto is "Knowledge is the Ultimate Goal", to study Rocket Science.
This is a short description of my life till now. Thats all for now. I have an exam - Mid Sem - tomorrow. So, feel free to comment and suggestions are always welcome.
