The Kerela Trip

The Kerela trip

This was the second event in the month of March which had taken place.
it turns out that the month of march was very much eventful and not to mention stressful.

I decided to go to Kerela along with my classmates (which suprised a lot of people including me ) partly
because i was not taking part in the Srm culturals and also i didn't feel like attending the Megadeth / Machinehead
show in Bangalore along with Manoj and Fatso (read Abhilash).

Me and the Sony Ericsson K550i

Well the trip wasn't all that bad considering that all the "cool" people opted out and the "enna machi " crowd came.
I had Vasanth (my protege) for company who insisted on showing off his brand new Nokia N73m and was trying put down
Sony Ericsson K550i (now lost). Trip started from namma Chennai Central with all of us assembling there. No comments there.

Train trip was nothing worth mentioning except that two girls from my class had their birthday celebrated on that night
and i got to have a loarge chunk of some delicious chocolate cake along with Minna.

Our hotel was in Kadavanthra and to our pleasant surprise it was a service apartment. Each apartment had around 3 rooms with three people per
room. My roommates were Vasanth and Augustine.

Day One was a trip around Ernakulam,Mattancherry,Fort Cochin,Cochin Port and Wellinton Island. Was basically a repeat of the
2001 trip of Cochin with Keith and co. except that i tried some local booze called tody or kal.
Later after the trip we went to the Chiria Beach, ,located at corner of Ernakulam (or wherever). Beach was really nice,
good view for a sunset and it was really fun until my class mates ecided that it would be fun to catch me and throw me into the sea. After being thrown into the sea i was forced to beg.. :-(

As you can imagine that resulted in wet t-shirt,wet pants and obiviously wet undies. had to endure that for next couple of hours till we reached
the hotel and straight into the bathroom to clean up before decnt booze session (decent cos the company was the Palani gang).
Me,Vasanth and Augustin

Day Two was a trip around Kuramakom which was essentiallt the backwaters of Kerela. One thing that really got me was the sheer size of the
backwaters and nothing less than impressive. Company was really sad as everyone was trying to show off the most impressive pose
not to mention some looked so stupid and GAY cos they were posing topless. Good thing the girls were away in a different boat and hence
did not have endure any of this crap. The day ended with us reaching the hotel for another booze session.
Posing infront a IT Park in the blazing sun.

Day Three started with us posing infront of IT parks to show some proff that we went for an industrial visit. This tour was called
Pre-Final Year Industrial Visit. How stupid people actually give a sh*t about this kind of crap. Later we proceeded to
Athirappilly falls . It was nice place with a waterfall which was really ferocious and some rocky terrain with a river,
something like Saringapatinam only the that chances of getting hurt was really high.

Later in the day batalling ferocious rain rains we reached Ernakulam and were guest to its marine drive and numerous shops.
Everybody bought banana chips!! how dumb.!! Anyways after that we headed to the railway station and caught out train back to Chennai.
All smiles. Vasanth,Gokul,Tamil and Bharat.

We had a couple of eunuch probels once we were near Chennai,damn those whores always asking for money. Anyways got one to
kiss Bharat only for 10 bucks!!! Hastala Vista Baby... VC and Me

thus the Kerela trip comes to an end.... The Whole Class (the boys part)

The Symposium

This blog should have been dated 7/3/08


This month was one of the stressful month of my life. Infact i suppose it was most stressful month of my life. It all started with the department symposiums. ours was called the Jet Sonic (The Hedgehog) and you can guess who our mascot was. its a miracle that we didn't get sued by Sega (the company). I was the sponsor committee head, event co-oridinator for robotics and also the head behind the Gamedrome.
Well this was my job, to go around the city and convince corporates to sponsor our symposium. and this wasn't made easy by the fact that out college had a very good reputation (sarcasam) and also because of the way the whole thing was handled,we had parallel set of people going and approaching the same corporate and bugging the daylights out of them. (namely Higginbotoms). finally after lots of begging and string pulling we managed to collect around 1.2 Lakhs. Major companies included Everonn Software. Aldea Infosystems, RMKV,Subway,Kaya Skin Clinic,Naturals,Laser Software,Emannuel Water Farm (???) lol..Good collection for a computer department..., but the only f*** up was that most of the money was held back by our dear staff cos just in case the sponsors back back asking for a refund...(what a excuse..) they even took the gift vouchers we got from Naturals,Kaya Skin Clinic and Subway..!!!! I mean how lame can you get ??? This is worse than our levels!! Even we didn't stoop so low... we were happy with the Subway vouchers..




The College

Now on to the symposium.. The symposium was a grand success but not without hiccups. Day one saw over 600 participants compared to biotechs 30...haha.. Up yours man.!!!.., but as usual money raised through registration didn't match the expected numbers. No surprise there. Day one was smooth until the chairman a****** decided to show up and lock everyone in the new av room. Thanks to which our much hyped paper presentation or Papyrus Discorso went to the dogs. It was very sportive of the judge to still sit patiently through all the bullsh*t. Anyways this one act of stupidity got everyone pissed and everyone swore not to come back the second day. Well thats what happened but it was not too bad. Around 300 turned up the next day and everyone lived happily ever after,except for the guys who set up the X-Box stand ( and actually expected people to buy the 23k console) and cancelled their check. (stupid college should have encashed while they had the chance) . Thats it can't write anymore.. enough said about the symposium.

Someone's busy with CS at the GameDrome
