As his students, we thank our Professor's family for letting him go ahead with his passion for ECE, at odd times on many occasions. I remember how he used to say he read some book on ECE over night at that age (in 2006). I remember his first intro to our class in my second year very clearly.
"You see, I talk about various other things in class for 30 minutes, 35 minutes.. Only ten minutes, fifteen minutes I will teach from the syllabus.. I may not complete the whole syllabus at the end of the semester. Usually I don't. Now you may not know, but in the future you will realise.. many students have come back after working for so long and told me, these extra things I share with them in class.. They have actually been more useful...What I tell you will never be in any text book..."
He may not be the best teacher in the world, but he certainly created that love for the subject in so many of his students, which is all a teacher can do.
Thank you sir.

I am back
naan thuli thuliyaai meelgiren...
nee tholaidhooram sella sella...
un idhaya eerppu mella kuraiya,
naan meendum naanaagiren.
நான் துளித் துளியாய் மீள்கிறேன்...
நீ தொலைதூரம் செல்ல செல்ல...
உன் இதய ஈர்ப்பு மெல்ல குறைய,
நான் மீண்டும் நானாகிறேன்.
I am back.

PS:
To those who don't understand Thamizh (Tamil, as you know it):
I am rejuvenating, drop by drop,
As you move farther from me,
As your gravitational pull on me slowly reduces,
I am turning into myself...again.

A day without phonecalls
I didn't attend 42 calls today or so my phone claims.
Worse, I don't even plan to check who called. :)
I should actually feel heavy, since a few calls might have been important (even from office maybe). But I don't. Fact is, I feel so good that I plan to switch my mobile off one day per week (So, I can concentrate on some thing other than "who's calling this time?!").
Did some work, a lot of blog reading, a lot of planning ahead and yea, watched a cool movie.
My contact with the external world shrinks everyday. Guess I am closing down my windows. My parents get this feeling that I don't talk much these days. I think that's because they're used to the motor-mouth I can be.
Here's to Solitude!
It's so much more painless.

Tech giants unite against Google - BBC News
..The author said she is not surprised by the reaction to the "settlment".
...Most authors work for so little and start from the point of we are doing this for the "love it".

Do we expect this from an organisation like BBC? No.

Do you know who you really are?
If you think that question’s silly or meaningless, I am sure you do not know yourself very well. Do you speak your mind, or do you say what is expected of you? Does your social behavior truly reflect your character? Let’s not mistake personality for character, ok?
Why do we express?
We begin expressing ourselves first as a baby, crying to get attention. That is the truest and purest form of expression, reflecting our innermost desires... reflecting what we need. As children, we say what we want to say, we do what we want to do. We resent when we are forced. We are true to others. There is no hidden agenda.
As we grow older, there are external influences, like acceptance, for instance. We try to fit in with the rest of the world, and do what is expected of us. We do things because people around us do them and have done so in the past successfully. We do and say stuff to impress others, not to express ourselves…funny but true.
The world is a comedy to those who think…and a tragedy to those who feel.
-Horace Walpole
From my personal experiences which, by the way, aren’t really comprehensive, I agree with what’s quoted above. I have continued to shift between two personalities since the first of days that I can recollect. I have never ceased to amaze myself everyday, as to how I am able to manage my selves.
To that quote up there, I wish to add some more.
Those who feel will feel the darkest depths of pain at times,
But then, those who think can never be completely happy.
The side of me that thinks, the side of me that has been successful in all its endeavours, is the one that has never found peace or happiness. Success, despite the fact that it intoxicates you to a cool high, is NOT happiness. It is usually a means to get there, but most people lose track of their path on the way. The side of me that feels, I admit, has been a bigger loser than anyone else I know (yea, look at this weblog for example), but has also been the most peaceful, content and balanced side of mine. That side reflects who I truly am.
You should not do something because you are good at doing it or because it will fetch you fame and success. You should do something because you like doing it or it gives you the balance. Most of the successful people we know, almost 99% in my opinion, are people who think. The rest of them (the 1%) are, of course, the greatest people who ever lived…those that were successful and content at the same time. Hmmm, I agree, most of the ‘failures’ and ‘misfits’ in this world are those who feel and refuse to think. Nobody wants you to be this way, but that is what you are.
By now, you might have realised that I am not the greatest of writers you know. I have not done justice to the concept or even myself with the words I have chosen, but if you do get something out of this, whoa! Great!
What you feel is who you truly are. The day you realise this, the day you break free of that illusion of society, the day you learn to defy rules and ignore the frowns and discouraging words from the world at large, the day you realise who you really are…accepting your faults as part of you and accepting others’ faults as part of who they are…that day, my friend, shall be your Independence day.

Crying in the rain
Some say Charlie chaplin said,
"Cry in the rain coz others can't know".
I have been having it in the head,
since I got problems of my own.
I see crime and injustice
and I'm powerless to stop them all...
no one understands till the problem's his.
True in my case, this is my call.
I will fight them, the honest way
I will fight them, through the years.
I will improve, day by day
Till I end all undeserving tears.
All my other thoughts have gone down the drains,
I have decided to do or die trying.
but today, like Charlie, I cry in the rains,
what if someone gets to see me crying?
- An amateur attempt by "Poruthadhu podhum" endru mudiveduthor sangam.
You don't realize the gravity of every issue until you face it. Every human being has to rise to stop all the individual problems faced by so many innocents all over the world.
I have decided to, have you?

TNEA ADMISSIONS 2009
Hello people!
This is a small initiative from our side to rank the colleges in the
state to make it easier for students to pick theirs this year. We wish
all the TNEA rank holders all the best.
Ranking basis:
The rank of the last person who could get that course in that college
in the Open category. This is a more realistic pattern when we look at
what seats we may get this year rather than getting into a long
discussion on placements and faculty. People have done their research,
talked to people they know and looked up the infrastructure last year
to take their seats. All we need to do is use that data. All those
websites out there contain data. We give you information.
If you are worrying about what college to choose for your son,
daughter, nephew, niece, grand daughter, grandson, cousin or for
yourself, you are at the right place!
1. Electronics and Communication
2. Electrical and Electronics
3. Computerscience
4. Information Technology
5. Aeronautical
6. Electronics and Instrumentation
7. Mechanical
8. Civil
9. Automobile
10. Chemical
If you need any other specific info, do leave a comment and let us know...of course, we are working on updates.

Vamanan - Yedho seigirai lyrics
I couldn't find a flawless one on the internet. So, I decided to put it up for the benefit of all fans of the Youngest Raja! I hope I got it right. If any part of this is wrong, do let me know through the comments.
Awesome song!

Early trends...
DMK+ ahead in TN
ADMK+ doing well
BJP is leading in one place, god alone knows where...
Independents getting badly bashed.
Would voting not-so-great performers back to power, neglecting highly qualified independent candidates go down as a show of illiteracy and money power in TN?
Or would voting for some party which would actually have a say in the national perspective go down as a civilized, clever move?
Difficult question.

An old post I forgot to publish - What we need
India does not need a PM who will give out expression-less speeches when a whole city is under siege by Terrorists.
India does not need a PM who will still only smile and shake hands with Pakistani Leaders even as they "Rubbish" India's evidence, when even the smallest of kids in their country know that it's true.
India does not need Leaders who bribe people for votes.
We most definitely don't want an Election Commission that takes no action, even when a poll manifesto says that the party, if elected, would give 60 lakh Television sets to the people of the state. The party won, and is bribing away with the Govt money. Why waste your money and bribe, if you can use the Govt coffers to do it later.. Simpler way of doing it, don't you agree?
India, my country, does not need television news channels who don't care what they incite through their transmissions.
We don't need any of the currently elected MLAs and MPs, across the nation. They don't do anything anyway.
We don't need Policemen who stand and watch as some student is brutally and fatally beaten up by a crowd of Twenty. We don't need Policemen who fear Political backlashes.
We don't need further divisions among the people based on Color, caste, religion or race. We don't need Political parties who propagate such divisions.
We don't need the other pseudo-secular divide-n-rule National party either.
We don't need regional parties which incite inter-state tensions. We don't need the umpteen languages and we definitely don't want to lose so many lives in violence.
We don't need the people who ask for our religion, caste and mother tongue in their application forms. No Sir, We don't!
We are relying on NGOs to improve literacy rate.
We are relying on Corporate sponsorship for Technology.
We rely on Russia and USA for too many things.
We are a nation which has never learnt from its mistakes in the past.
We are the best there is when it comes to Man power, Quality & Quantity wise. But we never develop in anything.
We are a jigsaw puzzle, uncontrolled, unsolved.
Yes, India needs a damn Strong leadership.
A leader who can be ruthless when times demand it, and kind when they don't.
Someone who can truly control stuff here. Someone who can solve the puzzle.

A Note to me from Sarath Babu, South Chennai Candidate
1. How possible is it to fulfill the promises in your manifesto? Like achieving 95% literacy. Have you already evolved a step by step practical approach? Prove to us that you are truly committed to the constituency rather than FoodKing etc..
Ans: My life story has a good track record of my commitment and sincerity. Chennai South is one of the most educated constituencies in India. The challenge is to get students and adults from the poor strata to schools. In my manifesto, you would have seen that my stress is on the following:
a) improved access to schools
b) better sanitation and infrastructure
c) campaign to get children and adults to schools
Literacy is required to read newspapers, perform calculations of money and writing letters. The focus is to first make 95% (taking into account transient labour population) of chennai literate, and then move towards making them finish primary education.
2. How can we track what you do in case you get selected? Will you keep a separate blog, or will someone write what you did or will that be updated on this site?
Ans: I would be publishing my annual targets in leading english and tamil newspapers and my website. Following that i will publish quarterly, half-yearly and annual results of the targets achieved. I am willing to put my appraisal in front of my people who have reposed their faith in me.
3. How can we reach you in case of anything? People in South Chennai should be able to convey their issues to you through some means any minute.
Ans: This has been answered in the manifesto. Youth stations in each assembly constituency will help you reach me. For more serious issues like corruption, you can directly get in touch with me / my office.
4. What is your view on reservations in educational institutions?
Ans: Reservations are good for people who deserve them. But today it has become an issue of politics and misuse. There are rules about consideration of economic status and not giving reservation to creamy layer. There are implementation issues as politicians do not want to upset their vote banks. I do not believe in such vote bank politics.
Please go through my updated site : www.sarathbabu.co.in
I hope my replies have convinced you to vote for me and join my campaign so that other people also vote for me.
All the best to you for a great showing in the elections, in a constituency from where prominent leaders like Ila Ganesan contest.
" Vote for Slate! " :)

The Government and Non-Govt Organisations
1. Supporting Education. Taking education within the reach of everyone.
2. Taking children off the street and giving them food, clothing, shelter.
3. Funding those Orphanages / Child care centres.
Aren't all these supposed to be done by the Government??? Why are there so many NGOs out there doing these and many more activities, had the Government worked?
Why aren't these in any Party's manifesto? Of course, I did see in a party's manifesto that they plan to increase reservation to help these studs. Duh! To hell with parties.
Vote for an Independent who knows what it means to live a life like that. Someone who'll truly work on these basics rather than putting the money into a flyover that will never be completed or collecting costly shoes or into any family businesses.
Unearth all the black money stashed in the belly of every politician out there.
We'll have enough money to feed everyone for ever.

Race - Very Random stuff
When I ran along the way of life
Faster than others, more confident
When I could kick problems away and laugh out loud
I felt like the One, lemme rule them all.
But Speed breakers too many, And some had nails
Stepped on one such and Strike three! Out!
I can't even walk now, people overtake me
And I realise now how I managed to beat them so far.
They were slow because they were careful.
Even if I manage to take the nail out,
The bone's had it, I can't run like that anymore.
I need to run with a leg and dragging the other,
Like heck, why didn't I see the nail coming?!
Till I get up and join the race,
Oh Will I? Hope I don't lose hope.
I am trying to pull the nail out and start again,
Before the race is over...
PS: Imaginary as usual. I don't believe in races, though. I am the "Spectator" :)
Faster than others, more confident
When I could kick problems away and laugh out loud
I felt like the One, lemme rule them all.
But Speed breakers too many, And some had nails
Stepped on one such and Strike three! Out!

A Dream unfolds...
Her delicate smile would so melt me, Her eyebrow movement, a gentle dance;
And she'd be my greatest support system, giving me Her hand to hold.
Afraid to touch the tender Her, as tender as Butterfly wings...
Afraid it may hurt Her. Her, of course, being the perfect mould.
Eyes I can forever float in, exploring horizons and getting lost,
For Years I'd do the same little thing, And never feel the least bit bored.
She's imaginary. At least for now. For She's one not of this world...
Halo 'round the head as She laughs with me. Oh, She's a new variety. Called "Priceless Gold".
So, this comes out as many think my previous attempts were anything but imaginary. Now, this is not! This is a peep into the future... hopefully! :)

Best-est friend
I am not your best-est friend. Yup, I know it.
Things are far from reality, as they are.
We shouldn't push it further, acting and coaxing.
I may be there... perhaps, at number eleven?
Nope, I don't want this fancy heaven.
I am not your best-est friend. Stop pretending.
Stop that talking, behind my back.
If u got somethin, more than willing to hear it.
I would crush myself to keep the glass from crack-
-ing, coz' you should know, that's how true pals do it.
I am not your best-est friend. Glad u tried.
I have considered each one true, to my best
But you all may not even remember me,
sometime from now... You don't know, but I got lots to say
But telling you's a crime. That I can see.
I am not your best-est friend.
I am not your best-est friend. Why all this row???
I am not your best-est friend. Just Don't Stay, GO!
I am not your best-est friend. I know, I know.
I am not your best-est friend. I don't care, though.

Looking Inside..
I yearn for someone. To talk to, to walk with.
I lost you, without even competing. Shoulda at least tried.
Miss? ha ha, I miss you like hell !
Even without talking to you much.
I shouldn't be brooding over
You; without you even knowin'.
I take out the memory weed, one by one,
But with every cut, it just keeps on growing.
When days get long,
When things go so wrong,
I chant your name girl. Ah, Memories...
I search for Calm. I search for Peace.
Lost a lot in life; yup, still reeling...
Today, things.. things, they do look torn...
I want to confide in you, my every damn feeling...
But Oh, yea whatever, You are already gone...
