One year to go for Silver Jubilee Celebrations..........(25 yrs)

It's been 756 864 000 seconds since my mother gave birth to me on this holy earth. I don't know exactly how many seconds I spent in sleeping, studying, njoying, and etc.......(don't ask me!!). I have been celebrating this b'day since my birth (obviously !!!).

My parents used to get new clothes on the occasion of every b'day in the early days. Early morning I used to have head bath, pray GOD (don't remember wht?) and get blessings from parents. I used to distribute the chocolates to my class mates in the school.(till 1997)

All this recurred till I get out of my schooling. In +2, I used to have all above mentioned things except distributing chocolates (Chocolates are not sufficient to College age!!!). (1998,1999)

Then comes my engineering phase..... 1st year.. celebrated in home. I don't exactly remember about 2nd and 3rd years and I am very much remembered the final year b'day. Because it is very special to me and celebrated in grand manner.....(2000,2001, 2002, 2003)

Getting into IITM gave me a new birth on this earth (thts how Indians feel and its true !!!). It added variety to my birthday celebrations. First bday was not actually celebrated with my IITM friends rather with my girlfriend (which I feel bad now!!). Second bday at IIT, new friends and new environment and missing old friends, but their wishes are always there with me (that made me to enter IITM and its my (their) dream to see myself (adi aka malli) in IITM). Third bday was as exciting as second bday with new set of friends added to the old friends.........(2004,2005,2006).

And now, 2007, in Bangalore. Though there are many friends in and around the city, I celebrated it only with my room mate. New environment, no new friends, not much of excitement, busy life .........

Am I getting older???.......NO.........I am getting younger day by day and on.....................

Where we meet before we leave ........

ADIEU 2007, is a farewell party given by the institute to all outgoing students. It is sponsored by IITM alumni association (IITMAA). This time class of 70, 71 and 72 sponsored the function. Even though it started 4pm none of the graduands actually go there, because they don't want to listen to the speakers. So I am. Arrived ICSR auditorium at around 6PM, nice video made by the students welcomed me into the auditorium. It followed with speech of Subhiksha director (alumnus of IITM). Director, Dean (students) followed him........... We were asked to move to OAT for dinner (the most important thing :)). We have to prove ourself that we are actually leaving IIT at the entrance and finally got the grub coupons.

After having starter (so called), my eyes felt on the color of IITM gals. Even before I take a moment from that, there was a huge rush at the food counters. We were managed to get some where in the middle of one queue. Then again started having glance on the 'color' of the evening. Parallel to the dinner, some cultural events were progressing, which I think none of them have had time to glance them. After the sumptuous food (catered by Eden Restaurant) , it time for DJ on the dais.

Hmmmm.....IITM gals have just given a glimpse of what actually they are with their, middies, frocks, sarees, sleeveless.......what not ........ Two eyes or not enough to glance 'them'. .......... Had good time in dancing, even though not sync with the actual songs played. Phani has become photographer of the evening capturing every moment that good evening...............finally pains in the legs, eyes filled with colors, sweating on the body...........thats all left.....at the end of it....

And the funny thing is for research scholars, which it is anyway common for them. Most of them dont know whether they leave IITM this year or next year, bcoz thats how it is.

This event happened on March 25th, 2007.........
