Liar Liar

Cellphone has become a part of everyone's life today. Life without cellphones is much artificial nowadays. And saying lies in cellphones is a part of the fun that the technology offers us!!
But, the same habit, if it cultivates while speaking over landlines? A big comedy would surely happen...


Tat day i was supposed to go to Collector's office (ennatha thaan kazhattuvaaro theriyalai .. ;)) to apply for my Passport.. My friend who had applied for it said that he'll accompany me to help me! He asked me to start by 9'o clock so that i can pick him up in his house and get there by 9.30..

As planned he got ready at 9.00. But i dint get ready till 9.30!! It purposely delayed getting ready for he used to make me wait for long... !! I got a call from him atlast... He asked me where i was.. I spontaneously replied that i was riding my bike and will reach him in another 10 minutes! His sudden reply, "Oh! U in bike?? Tat's why u r attending the call from ur LANDLINE-a??" ... What else can i say to him then??

Why am i like this???

"Why do u hate girls?? Did they do any harm for u?? Or r u a male-chauvanist??" .. This is wat is the question tat many ppl ask me!! Ah.. got some time to answer them... Am not a male-chauvanist!! To me men and women are equal. So the reason can only be the first one! Yes, they had hurt me a lot!!

To start, my school taught me jus one thing.. Hate girls!! This is was the only lesson we guys there studied for 14 years! A co-ed school which was tooooooo partial towards girls. And this made a lot of effect on me during 8th to 10th. There was a girl in my class. How bad she wrote the paper or how good i wrote it, it was she who topped the class!! It started then.. Not to get close to girls.. A ques wud arise.. "It was the teachers who were partial.. not the girls!! Then why?? " .. True.. Teachers were partial. But wont these girls who moved toooo close to them tell them not to be partial?? This was the start for everything.. Tat lead to this state of mine tat i'm today!!!

Next, during my twelfth, i got close to a girl.. a senior who helped me a lot.. a lot more than anybody else cud do.. She helped me as a caring sister wud do!! The result, after my 12th results, she stopped speaking to me!! (I cant tell d reason for its tooooo silly and wud speak bad of her..) It's 3 yrs since she spoke a word to me!!! I treated her as my own sister.. But, she had treated me only as a student!! And even my teachers do remember me even today.. not she!! The second incident which made me really cry for years and years in my life!! (still i'm crying to get her as my sister back.. hmmm.. tat wud not happen in life hereafter!!)

Third.. In coll, i hardly spoke to any girl becoz of tat sister(?)'s incident in my life.. there entered again a girl in my life.. we started becoming frnds! yes.. we became frnds!! then got to know how cunning she was!! Cunning brain made me lose her.. (and also certain pressure...!!) I still remember d days i teased her, quarreled with her.. hmmm.. life is tooo bleak for me....

Then... after a looooong time, i got introduced to a senior... no a friend.. not exactly.. a sister.. ya! a sister!!! Got tooooooooo close! Close for some one and a half years... Then there came an IV.. She got a new frnd!! Attn diverted towards him.. I dont say thats wrong.. I say i was lacked attn!!! There came a lot of quarrels due to tat new frnd!!! Tat was so powerful to break our rel even... She cut down messaging me a lot... a lot.. Stopped attending my calls!! Toooo bad... Wat can i think of girls then if d second sister i got was/is also like this??

At last (as of now)... Meanwhile, in my coll, i started admiring a flower (can i call it so.. r even better?? mmmm... mmm... i cudnt think of anything better than this.. (Courtesy: Fred!!) ).. I always dreamt of getting close to it.. But now i feel i shud hv stayed away from it and admired it.. It took a lot of time for her.. tat flower.. to treat me as a frnd!! She said that though i'm close to her as her frnds, i'm a junior than a frnd to her.. Ha ha ha.. sounds funny?? But this is wat she told.. How can i judge girls if they move d same way with ppl and rate them differently?? (Latest update: a lot of misunderstandings has started... with her!!!)

With all these incidents, how can i like girls?? U may ask, "With just 5 girls in ur life, how can u say tat girls are bad??"... Man.. I jus know 5 girls.. no! some 6 or 7 to be exact!! Out of 7, 5 are bad.. So atmost 70% are bad!! Wat else can i think if this is d case???????


P.S: I got an idea of expressing this after reading my frnds blog where he has proposed to 3 girls on a similar style!! Thanks Fred!!!

Update: With my best friend's permission i add this!! I started losing my best frnd, who is known for his 'silence', becoz of a girl.. After her intro into his life, he started moving away from his frnds.. started involving in bad habits when opposition came from all corners.. parted from me.. left me all alone in this world!!! If u say tat it was his mistake, i wud argue, it was because of her intervention in his life he got worse!!!

Numero Deux

The number 2 has played a major part in my life! that 2 during my 12th std!

* To start, my section got changed when i entered into 1
2th from section C to E (jus 2 letters..).
* During the whole of my school life, i just came out as topper only
2ce. During quaterly and half-yearly of 12th.
* And my name was misprinted as Sairam in the nominal roll for public exam. The
2nd letter was changed my mistake. i had to apply for it 2ce to get it changed to Sriram.
* I lost the highly acknowleged position, the school topper, just by
2 marks. My school topper just beat me by a single mark. Had i got 2 marks, i wud hv been the topper. This was the 2nd time i came out as school 2nd!!
* And there were
2 second rank holders of which i was one!
* And i beat my best friend by jus
2 marks!
* Also the total had only one
2. (1162) .. !!
* I got only
2 centums... And school 2nd in 2 other subjects!!
* The english topper was just one mark more than me. had i got
2 marks, i wud hv been a topper in english 2.
* And, i'd been the topper of french and comp sci (
2 subjects) always throughout the year. And only those 2 subjects brought me down finally.. :( !!!
* And in the entrance exam, the total of my reg no was also
2!
* I came out as the
2nd in engg cut-off in madurai !!
* I reached chennai after a span of
2 yrs for attending the counselling on july 2nd...
* I was the
2nd person to choose a different group other than ECE during d first session of first day!!
* And i coll, i became dept topper only once, tat

And the winner is ...



And the winner is... (who else.. myself! sollikka aasaiya thaan irruku... :)). The certificate following the same old style for the third consecutive time!! Still has its own style! With a focus light kind of thing highlighting the winner!! (doesnt it... ;) )

aBaCUS '06 Poster


aBaCUS '06 's poster... "Ithanaal arivikka paduvathu ennavendraal.. " aBacUS got over yaar! Still to invite people?? This poster with all usual trademarks/copyrights of me and Varun came out really well!! For example, those very small aBaCUS in the middle forming a band at the background...

Ah.. when i say background, i remember how the base canvas was developed!! It's a mixture of some 3 digital pictures!! Somewhere i got those balls in the left side of the poster... Jus added them!! Some web kind of thing from another picture.. and the base blue from the third!!

And that "highlighting thoughts ... " ... Actually myself and Varun where trying hard to get something for caption. We were in search of a comp sci word related to highlighting... ipch.. couldnt get anything better!!

aBaCUS '06 Font


aBaCUS '06 's Font!! Bringing down the legacy of small 'a' s... ( Small a's in aBaCUS.. tat's a secret!!) .

As mine and Varun's creations will have a lot of implications, this too has... Can u figure out a small patch in 'B' with light grey shade?? Hide that and see the letter 'B'... wat do u see?? Something like 16 ?? (i know u hardly could !!) .. Tat's just to denote that this was designed for 16th year of aBaCUS!! Hope the new year's font has 17 in a way that could be easily deciphered !!

And the orange (fanta) color.. Jus to attract attention towards it!! Not as a dedication to Simran ;) !!

aBaCUS '06 Logo


Ah.. Here comes aBaCUS '06, the uncrowned king of symposiums, 's logo!!!

This represents a table lamp, highlighting a aBaCUS bead/ball (one of my seniors perception - highlighting a brain) ... Can u find anything more on the lamp base?? Ya.. rite!! CS written as a scribbling!

( Still remembering the days spent during the class hours doodling to get this logo... This just started as a table lamp highlighting a ball! Then changed to this form finally when myself and Varun where discussing on modifying it during a seminar!! )
