'kalloori vaasal'il naan....

uh, how should I start or where should I start? Great people (SK and Nithya) have commented on the previous post. Thanks a lot, ladies :-). ennai honour panna maathri irunthathu. And that has really encouraged me to continue my writing.ok let me not think more and more to make it more intellegent or impressive. i think, apdi ethuvum nenaikama, ezhutha aarambikanum. appa thaan I can be myself and write my feelings. illana, sothapadivenu nenaikaren :D

ok, coming to the title - kallori vaasal. Came to chennai (think that was my second visit to chennai, antha 17 yrs la :p) with my mom. my appa didnt come with us (thats a different sad story). Amma is a graduate, so chennaila padichathunala, she knows the place. My amma has got a close friend over there - Rani. I call her 'akka' only. U know, I am basically from a small town (town'ae small place thaan, athu enna small town ;-))...so no aunty, uncle business. School friends'oda amma elam kooda, we call 'akka' only :p. Ok, coming back to kalloori vaasal - this Rani akka has taken us to the Anna University for the counselling (we were the first batch attended this). Everything was new to me. There was a large crowd and most of the people have come with their fathers. orae malaipa irunthathu ellamae. I got scared to see the students and the parents with their serious faces :(. That was the second day of the counselling and I was in the second session (10.30AM, I still remember). Before we entered the hall, people started saying that all seats in Anna university got over, this, that etc etc. we were also seeing the display which showed the status of seats in all colleges. then ellamae pudhusa, bayama irunthathu !!! entha college kedaika porathonnu. Only one person was allowed with the student. so amma came inside. She was also afraid but didnt show out. I could see from her eyes :'(

Few educated ppl in our family had advised us about the good course and colleges. So amma and I started looking at the display if we could get one from our list. Hhmm..Thirupathi, devasthaanam paaka pora maathri, we were asked to be in the ground floor for sometime, then another room, then another one. By that time, we have lost few colleges and courses. Meanwhile, we changed our decisions after discussing with the parents who were with us and things went on. There we met Z and her father :-) Little did we realize that we would become _close_ friends in future :-) and I think Z's father was talking abt a dept in AU which we had in our list too.

Finally we were at a room from where we would be getting into the final room. And even in that last room, we kept moving from the last row to middle one, and then to the first one .... Happaaa, athukula number of seats got reduced and that was really thrilling. we should also have 2/3 options in our hand..hhmm..Finally there were 3 seats in the course which we planned to take. Ah, we got into the computer room. The moment came - one person got the DD and entered my details. Heyyyy I got my engineering seat in AU !!! I was on cloud nine. It was around 2pm, I think, when we completed all formalities. Z's father came out and talked with us. He said, "2 perum orae department kedachu iruku" we both smiled and introduced ourselves :-). we left the place and Ahh I felt so relaxed..plus 2 mudicha palanai naan anubavichuten :-) inimae padikarathu, fees elam adutha vishayam. I was happy that I could go home and tell my relatives, my friends, my teachers that I got so-and-so college !!!!Everybody felt proud for me. "Ah, unaku angha kedachudtha" apdi elam.....:-)

When I write this, I remember the movie "kushi". The directory, Surya, movie aarambathula, 2 kozhandaingha kaamichutu, intha 2 perum epdi onna seraanghanu thaan kadhainu. chumma moviela thaan ipdi elam nadakumnu nenachen. ippa I could relate that with my friendship with Z :) engha iruntha naan, engha iruka Z oda ivlo close aanenu :-). Well, this holds good with all the acquaintances and close ppl we get, no? Huh, God creates chances for us to meet the ppl we need :-) Great !!

Ok, will write the things happened in college, ppl I met, how few have become close etc etc :-)

me this week..

I am not feeling well since this sunday. Somehow got physically sick, which made me mentally sick too. I was not in a mood to come to the office on Monday (hhm for me changing the team). I thought that I would get a mail on Monday but my good/bad luck, I didnt get any. But for my surprise, the QA sign off got postponed cos of last minute problems (chachacha). For the past 3 days, I have been planning to leave the office early, but I couldnt do that. I could not attend my aerobics sessions also (oh seekiram odambu sariya ponum !!). But thank God, I am not able to eat much (rice or snacks or sweets which add calories) cos of this bad cold and fever, so compensating somehow :p.

Monday has gone this way. I didnt mail anyone (though I had to reply for my close friend's mail, I didnt do). when I was busy fixing (with no mood) the LMP (last minute problem) for the sign off, I got a mail from my close friend, Z, saying that she was feeling bad for something. Had it been a casual mail mail, I would have replied the next day morning. But it was not. So, I had spent time composing a mail saying this and that to console her. Ah, meanwhile, I got another mail from her saying that she was feeling ok and she asked me to ignore her last mail.. adipaavi :-) ..anyway I felt happy for her and finished my reply to the previous mail and sent her. Even I was feeling bad for my fate - to work this much hard when I was sick. Had someone talked to me in a friendly way, I would have cried out. I have no one here :(. anyway let me leave this topic.

I left the office by 10.45pm and I badly wanted to talk to my friend, N. I was a bit scared that he might have slept by then. Scared? Not really. Even he is really busy with his work these days. He will also feel tired like anyone and might have slept by that time, So I thought I should not disturb him. Hmm, but then I called him. Ah ! he didnt sleep. Even he was on his way back home. Auto;la pora time thaan I could talk to him. I did that. I felt better after doing that :-). When I was about to end the call since I reached home, he told me about the marriage proposols he has got from his relative. I didnt feel much by then and I told him that I would call him tomorrow. I had my dinner and went to bed. I was thinking about the phone conversation and suddenly felt that N would have felt bad (but actually he didnt) for me not responding properly when he said abt the proposals. So I thought I would message him. I did and expected a reply from him. But stupid guy, he didnt see the message.

Tuesday - still I was sick. I got up very early cos of the climate. I felt cold in the morning. I had nothing to do. The only option for me is to message my friend (poor guy :-). I have sent an SMS and again I was waiting for his reply. The clock had striked 6 when i messaged him. I saw 6.30, 7, 7.30..hhm no reply from him...He used to scold (advise rather) me always to get up early in the morning and he always says that he wakes up by 6/ 6.30. My bad luck, he woke up very late..hhm...so I didnt get any reply. And I slept after that. I was feeling very tired. My mom was asking not to go to the office. Even I was thinking of informing my pl. But I thought, ppl may postpone the release if I am not there. So I have managed myself to start to the office, though a bit late. I came to the office by 12.30. After doing some work, I wanted to call my friend again. I did talk to him properly for sometime. Some conversation made me feel bad and I started talking in my usual way and spoiled the mood. cha..he said he would call me after sometime and asked me to disconnect,....I felt really bad for myself. Immediately I mailed him and asked sorry for watever happened, and started my work. Hmm I was not able to work properly. I started checking his inbox to know whether he had seen my mail so that I could expect a reply...He did after sometime...hammaa...then I started feeling mentally ok, but my body didnt cooperate to continue my work......,.I went very late this day too....I tried calling my friend again, but he didnt pick up my call...When i was having my dinner at home, I got a call from him....Heyyyyyy I was happy and talked to him for 10 min i think...My sis has also talked to him....ennamo I felt good after his call..atleast for him to return my call.

Wednesday....today - Still the release has not happened....hopefully it happens in another 2 hrs or so....but now, I have nothing to do for that..QA team has to do something....Evening I have a meeting abt the team change...so from tomorrow onwards I will be put in a new project....I will have to acquaint myself :'(....anyway ippa, this minute I am freeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It has been really a longggg time, Man.....eppavumae velai rommmbbbbaa irukum. Shortage of resources in my team. I got to do all, almost everything, hhmm. Eppavumae busy';nu solla enakae oru maathri irukum, aana thats true. Ippa inum kongham documentation work pending. But then creative services team is not free to take up this task. I just need to help them doing it. So, athaaan, I thought I would mail my friends. Appa thaan reminded of my blogspot. Handle create pani 2 months aachu. So chumma I wanted to try whether I could write something. Ahaa I did it :-)

Will try writing something interesting later...

P.S Please pardon my English and the way of writing. This is my first attempt. I am trying to improve myself anyway !
