A Tribute to Team Kochi



Footprints Kochi
Now that Footprints Kochi Chapter went off well and I thank all my team members who put in 101% effort to make it really BIG. It was a great learning experience for all of us and made a lot of mistakes too, but by the end of the day victory outdoes everything. As the team coordinator I would like to thank the following people;
The PG Team
Prakash: The creative head (literally) who came up with a bunch of fantabulous art works. Amazing stuff!
Kedar: The hardworking, spontaneous and intelligent budget head who added momentum to the entire team.
Nitin: The Impeccable diplomat (as far as tie ups and sponsorships are concerned), and copy writer, our little coco :)
Vinaya: The smart and skilful who guaranteed a number of press releases in frontline newspapers besides the remarkable support in sponsorship and colleg
e participation.
Rejil: The professional and efficient who was the guardian angel for the whole team.
Padma: The energetic enthusiastic who assured a good number of participation and also arranged our refuge on those days.
Siddesh: The man who was in the control panel of technical team on the D day and ensured the flawless execution of the same.
The UG Team
Thanks to Archana, Nikhita, Rishab and Athira who supported us in achieving this memorable victory. Well done sisters and brother. It would not be fair if I ignore Archana’s extra contribution in selling tickets and assisting Padma to a lot many schools.
18th November 2008 was such a good day that none of us will ever
forget. Cheers Team Kochi.

'THE' Wednesday

Image
Obviously you know what it would be about, yes the big match today. Normally Wednesdays are like the half finished medicine bottles when you are ill; you know that you are getting well by the end of it but you still have to go through the torture and finish half of it. But this Wednesday, excitement is in the air, as India confronts our neighbour Pakistan in another head-on sporting battle. As we know, India-Pakistan matches are normally considered as the mother of all cricket matches and when it is the semi final match of World Cup, it acts as a natural pacemaker. Just like anyone else, I want Team India to win and it will be extremely delightful to watch Sachin and the boys (don't expect Dhoni and boys from me!) beating Pakistan in this spectacle. But let us keep it in a level where we can see it as a game, with pure sportsman spirit. Yes, I will be sad if anything goes against India in this game, but then we can try and avoid comparisons to terr...

"The green beer hashes onomatopoeia in the urge. Ailurophile fails after onomatopoeia. Will the expertise offend around onomatopoeia? The wonder renders the ruler. Ailurophile destroys the dirt next to the sober tone. How does onomatopoeia struggle after Ailurophile?" Before cursing me, or yelling "WTF!!" at me for writing the above paragraph I solely disown any connection with it except for finding 'Ailurophile' and 'onomatopoeia' from a site and putting it here . We have seen blogs/books/notes etc., which makes no sense but only noise and ultimately disgust through such style of writing (if I can call them so!). According to me, we basically write for two objectives; 1) To express oneself and to share it with a close group of people 2) To impress; mostly to appeal external audience, but the author derives some kind of satisfaction through his work, as people read, understand and enjoy it. There is a third type which is a mix of both, but ultim...

Fragile egos, failing society

We have failed as a society. Damn it, we have failed as living creatures. Malayalis can bury their head in the sand and flash their golden HDI card, while accepting that we are a morally corrupt society. This might come as a surprise, but Madhu would have been beaten to death regardless of his tribal tag. A majority of Keralites find it amusing to pamper their fragile egos by putting their nose in to others business. Ocassionally, this ends up in mob/group violence. Trust me when I say this, we are a coward lot if not in a group. We are apathethic towards stronger enemies. However, when we have our chance, we pound upon the weaker prey, and even kill him. You would not belive when I say that it is difficult to go out with my wife in certain parts of my town (Kottayam) after 7 PM. Young boys would come and peep through the car window, 'ensuring' that nothing illicit is going on. Madhu's case was a tad bit different. He was poor, moreover he was hungry. He had soci...
