Great Escape

[Orginally posted on http://thalatherichavar.blogspot.com/]

As I said earlier, another incident. This also happened when we where in 5th Sem. Now let me tell u about our timings. I had narrated it in one of my earlier posts. So the classes for other courses starts @ 9.30 and ours starts at 10.

Once our staffs, it was another section- Different from the regular college, that We making a lot of noise and disturbing their classes. So we wer scolded by our section administrator and was asked not to be @ verandha once the other classes are commenced. We wer sure which all teachers had made complaints against us. We decided, we are not going to forgive them for this.

One day me n Boney wer standing in front of our class, a ma'm, who was in our hit-list, [but in the bottom of our table] came up. And went to the class next to us. This teacher was married, may be of age 25. Really gorgeous and well dressed. Next day also she came at the same time. So me and boney decided to watch her every day. And this went on every day. After 2-3 days she allso noticed us. Routine was, we will stand in front of the stairs when she was climbing up. And when she marches to her class we switch our position to balcony for a better view. Before she enters her class, she looks at us. This went on for some time. After 3 months, because of some reasons, she discontinued her Job. She would have considered as "Pakka Vaynokikal"..

Now the story doesn't ends here..I finished my PG and joined Saandeepani college as a lecturer. It was almost after3 & half year of this incident. Sree rekha ma'm was the administrator of the institute and thats how I got a job there.

One day I was returnig from my class. I saw a lady sitting in Sreerekha ma'ms cabin. I had seen her some where. But can't remember where. I went to staff room trying to remember where I had seen her.All of a sudden I remembered, it was the same teacher. What if she sees me? What if she tells Sree rekha ma'm about all these? [Sreerekha ma'm, if u r reading this, Sorry!!] If she had came here to join as a staff, thats it everything is finished for me. My image, my reputation. When doing UG the environment was different. But now? If she sees me, she will tell Sree rekha ma'm, 'does this guy teaches here, then I won't ever join shuch an institute..'

All thes thoughts came to my mind as a flashed. I hopped to library a stayed.It was the best place to hide. I was really panicking.. After about half an hour, she went. Luckily she never saw me. But what if she had joined here? I ran to Meenakshi ma'm and enquired. I was damn satisfied to know that her friend was Sreerekha ma'm's friend. She came with her friend who was visiting Sree rekha ma'm.. Phewww.. Great Escape!!!

"THALATHERICHAVAR!!!"

Let me tak u people back to my UG days. These are not stories, these are some incidents. these are reasons why we are qualified to be called as "THALATHERICHAVAR!!!"

5th Semester.

Java hour.

Sini ma'm.

Ma'm was taking classes and dectating notes. As she was taking theory it was kinda boring. Even I find it boring. I was the one who likes all language classes. But this one was rally boring. we wer all talking when ma'm was writing on the board. The talks led Anoop to sing a song. It was a parady of the song 'Kodakil...' from the movie 'Kuberan'.[I still don't remember the orginal song]..Parady was like 'Koode ki...'. The rest I still remember, but can't write. Its (A).. ;) He sang, and its was really nice. He sung in a low voice, so dat all 9 of us could hear it. But alas, ma'm heard it. She turned back n was furious. She asked, 'Who sang?' . Nobody answered. By the looks, she had a small idea that it was Anoop. More over her experience made her belive that it would be Anoop only. She again asked. Still nobidy answered. So the usual warning. She wont take classes until the person who sang admits. Now, she was not as Usha ma'm. She supports us a lot. And we don't want to miss her class. Suddenly Boney stood up and said 'Ma'm, I was the person who sang!'. We all wer shocked by his sudden behaviour, but not surprised, as he was one of the freakiest guy in the class. Can't say what he will do next.

Now, ma'm new it was not Boney. (She thought so coz, boney's sound was not that sweet. It resembled some what like an old ambassador). So she asked, 'what was the song? U sing it again, so that we all could enjoy'. Now that was a blow. We all knew the song. But can't sing it before ma'm. Anyway we knew she haven't heard the lyrics, but the tune. We could end this episode if we sing the orginal one. But nobody from the boys side knew the orginal lyrics. No one could remember it. All we could remember was the parady. We all wer trying hard to remember the orginal song. Again to our surprise Boney sang, but the song wa little different, only a little ;D

" Munkopakariiii.. Mugham marakkumninde manasoru mulla poonkavo?"

All of the class burst into laughter. Girls wer laughing like anything. Ma'm was now in a real dilemma.. She really enjoyed that joke, but was not ready to forgive. We could see from her face that she was trying really hard to not to laugh. She said,' this was not the song. I knew that. And you where not the one who sang'

Boney, 'No ma'm it was really me. The song was no that. It was: 'Ellarum chollane, ellarum chollane kallane nenjilenne...''[ i'm not sure, whether it was the song. But the song was something like that]. Anyway ma'm was not ready to agree. All these time, others in the class, especialky girls wer laughing.They hadn't stopped. So much was happening.

Now Jinu stood up and said it was me ma'm. It could have stopped there. As our ma'm would be happy to fire Jinu. It was set in her mind as default, every wrong things happening in the class would be started by Jinu or Anoop or both. And may be Jinu also knew that. That why he stood up. But for our surprise Sachin stood up an said, 'It was me ma'm'. Now ma'm got really angry. She was fuming. She started to use 'njanga-ninga' language. [She using this language was an indication of her temper. She can't stop that slang from her talks when she was angry]. Boney said, ' no ma'm it was not them, it was me'. Jinu opposed it, so did Sachin. Now the real culprit Anoop stood up. She was little satisfied. But now she wants him to sing the song. All these time Boney, Jinu & Sachin where desperately saying that it was them who sang. Now each one started to sing a song.. Many songs came, like, "Rakshasi rakshasi.." and "Lajavathiye.."..

Finally ma'm gave up. She scolded us a little more and as the hour was over, she left the class. No actions wer taken on us. But some times she used to tell us, 'Ennalum ningal enne Munkopakari ennum, Rakshasi ennum okke vilichille?' [Emotional blackmail]

Super Sachin

I think this happened in 4th Sem of our UG. Usha ma'm used to take some subjects [I dnt kno wat.hw can I.?If u hav asked me at dat tim also, I wud hav blinked back at u] This incident happens some days after the great howling by sachin. There is no relation between both d stories, but let me start from howling story.This also happened in Usha ma'm's class..

1st story:That day usha ma'm brought a projector n she declared, she is going to take class using it. She had prepared notes in OHP sheets.Some with diagrams n all. we were not familiar with projectors.
Anyway ma'm stareted to adjust the projector. She was behaving like all this were so simple. we where looking at her as if something big is going to happen. It took almost 20 minutes for her to make projector working and adjust the screen. She was ready and as soon as she turned to the projectin of Ohp sheet, the power went off.. As if it was a reflex action, Sachin howled![maybe he thought he was in a theater]. It came to an end as ma'm turned towards us. Except the boys nobody knew it was sachin. Ma'm became furious n she started to shout at us.After the shouting she asked who howled. Nobody answered. Then she declared, until somebody says who howled there won't be any class..Anyway we felt happy so that we don't have to suffer her anymore. But the thought that the complaint will go to higher authorities made us little disturbed. All of a sudden Jinu stood up n said he did it.All these time, sachin was shrinking in his seat, as if he could easily eascape to under the table.
Ma'm called Jinu out and shouted at him for sometime and then started to take class as usual, this time using the black-board.After the class when she was about to leave, Sachin went running to her and said, it was him who howled and not Jinu..What happend after that, I don't remember. Should ask sachin itself for more details..

2nd Story: Again Usha madam's class. Ok let me tell about Anoop's behaviour at her class. Ma'm thinks he is the worst student of the class. She once declared that she won't bother what Anoop is doing in her class. She says it was due to his bad behaviour and timid response of him in her class. But he thinks its due to an incident. There was a Ganamela near teachers home, and Anoop was ther. He didn't knew she was there.Anyway he danced with his friends.She saw that and she thought he was a local and if she scold him, he may do something to her.[Maybe something like throwing stones at her ;)]

Ok back to our story.Anoop was sitting in the front row. So main hobby of him was sleeping. Lucky guy.He sleeps the whole hour, or he pretends to be asleep. He don't has to take notes or listen to her boring lectures. One day our hero, Sachin, thought, if Anoop can do, why can't he. Ma'm was writing something in the board, Sachin removed the books from the desk an lied down on it. After some time ma'm stopped writing and turned towards us & saw Sachin lying.. "SACHINNN!!!"..she yelled.. Sachin almost jumped out of his seat..Every one in the class was looking at Sachin now. Even Anoop got up and was looking at Sachin. Usha ma'm as usual started to shout at sachin..Sachin was so shocked and astonished.. He was looking at the teacher and then at Anoop, back at teacher and then back at Anoop..There was a look of surprise and shock..A look like he was denied justice..We all couldn't control our laughter, and started laughing..I still remember that shocked look at Sachin's face..Won't forget that ever in my life..[me and anoop laughed a lot last week, remembering the incidence..It was one of the funniest incident that happened when we were doing our graduation.. That reminds us what a wonderful time we had.. That make our eyes wet!!! The Golden days!!!!]

http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/apr/29/kalam-gets-hoover-medal.htm

This medal can be reffered as one of the main awrds given to Engineers. How many of you have read about this in news papers? I think very few.. I haven't seen an reports regarding this in any news papers except The Hindu.. not in any malayalam papers.. When Slum dog received Oscar, it occupied Half of the front page. They are worried, Why Shilpa Shetty couldn't cast a vote. Whats the next blog of Amithabh. Which bollywood pair will break next.. Whose cared about APJ or what he receives? B********...

He is the man who showed as, there is a Position called President in India. He is the First Perosn. What all he can do. A man who has done a lot of things to Humanity. who gave away his life to equip India with Missile power, who showed President is not a rubber stamp. Then man who encourages the Indian Youth to dream, Dream Big..And what this politicians and journalists give him.. kerala CM, V.S Achuthananthan once said, when APJ said his opinion about Nuclear policy, 'There are many scientist in Thumba who had flown more rockets than APJ'. YA, VS is rigth. there will be many scientst. But not any of them has been the President of India. They Joined ISRO in search of Fame and money. But APJ was there when ISRO was created.. He was there when 1st rocket flew from thumba. He is one of the pioneer in space technology of India. And see how we repay him..

I wish him my Hearty Congratulations!!!

'The Freedom to Blame'.

Yesterday I went to a hotel for having dinner. it was a local hotel, at karukapally,near kaloor.I ordered for the so called 'malayale's desiya bakshanam' porotta n beef.I usually don't have porottas, but yesterday I just had a tendency to hav it. Anyway this is not about my food.I was seated in the farthest corner of d hotel,which was near the kitchen.waiter brought me my food. Just then a guy came & sat opposite me with a plate.I looked up & recognized it as another waiter of that hotel.a guy of 18.he was having his dinner.he had brought himself 2 parattas n beef gravy. Before I cud finish my 1st paratta he finished his food.While having the food he was looking at the counter frequently.He had a fear in his face as if he was doing some theft. He finished n went with his plate & came back with another plate of rice.He had that & went back to kitchen soon.this time also he frequently was looking at the counter when having food.I realized that he was having his food stealthly, without his boss's knowledge.May be too he was hungry!

Just imagine a kid has to have his food stealthly n tensed & I was thinking I was having a lot of preassure at my office. I'm having pressure still I can have food when I like & what I like.I don't have to do it hidden from some one. I was thinking that there would be lot of teenagers working like this in Kochi.may be in much worse conditions. Who can't have enough food a day. Can't get a pay so dat they can have a full stomach food. Last day one of my colleague was little upset because her wound-be is not so enthusiastic about Café coffee day & mac donald's.She wishes to go there frequently. At coffee day one may pay around Rs.60 just for a drink. The waiter I talked about, earlier will have to work for a week or so to save Rs.60 from his daily wages.This amount could fetch some one a full day's food. And we such irresponsible so called IT guys spend money without any care on un wanted things.Ok, we can say a lot of things like, we earn, so we spend. Or like, I studied well and so I got a decent job..etc etc.. But just think. Can you justify yourself.I'm not being a saint. I have done things like this.I have spend money on really really unwanted things a lot. Its time to think. Ok, leave that. Recently we had our general elections on April 16th.How many of you have cast your votes? Lot of my friends hasn't. But those who we call as 'poor' or 'bellow poverty line', majority of them would have cast their votes.Just in the dream of a better tomorrow for them or atleast for their kids, a little higher standard of living, 3 times food a day,better education for their kids. They know these political parties, they are just creating dramas. But they still think some one, some day will do something for them.And so they cast their votes.

And what do we do.We sit at home and watch serials and movies.When some bloodys sceens are shown, we say "o my God!" and then change the channel. We blame the politicians for their irresponsiblities. We blame them for bad roads. We blame them when there is power cut, when water supply is intrupted.We just blame politicians and government staffs.And what do we do?Nothing other than blaming.We dumb waste of our home on the near by open space.We spit on public places.We throw wastes on road.Then we starts blaming government for all those garbages being not removed. We offer bribes to government staffs to get our things done easily and we say 'The whole system is corrupted'. We waste water and electricity and the blame government when there is a power cut or water supply is intruppted.

And when its time to select a government, we just back of as if its others duties. And the reason most say for not voting, 'Every body is corrupted. If we vote also whom should we Vote for?' What an excuse.If u have such problem why don't you get to politics? How can you do that, right? Coz its not your duty.Its others. You have got ypur own family to take care off. We always cry for our rights.But we usually forgets that to availing these rights we have to do our duties to this country.But who cares? Every body likes to be selfish. But we all are forgetting something.If Gandhiji was selfish, we would still under British rule.Subash chandra bose, Baghath sing, Chandra shekar Azad, all gave their life for this country. Its their lifes they paid with to get this countries freedom. 'The freedom to blame'.
