I just came out !



Last four months were action-packed. I intentionally used the word ‘action-packed’ and being an SIMCian, no one will ever refute that word/statement. From assignments to semester exams, from Chandus to AS, from Alumni meet to seniors’ placement, from Photo exhibition to its controversial follow up, froma coconaughty to class bunking case, from Photoshop to IP messenger, from crushes to crashes, I loved each and every moment. Looking back, there were instances like suspension for the folly of someone else. However, I repeat my fellow SIMCians, I was enjoying my life there. I was a little distracted for some reason or another but I never lost track and yeah, I’m overcoming that distraction in my life.
By the term enjoying I don’t mean I wasn’t missing my family or I wasn’t irritated by weird behaviour of some of our batch mates. But, I’m no more in my comfort zone and I’m a part of the ‘survival of fittest’ race, which I’ve been yearning for years. Yes, I’m on the track to my ultimate target and that is the single factor keeps me moving.
Coming back to my last four months I’m trying to recall the major happenings;
  • Orientation session in the Viman Nagar Campus
  • Class tests and self study tests
  • Screenings- a new experience
  • Voodoo doll case- Suspension
  • Natuism- Restricted creativity
  • Chandu Sirs classes- You explain him & vice versa
  • Independence day and the group songs
  • Onam day
  • In search of research- Srihari sir
  • Being a main character in coconaughty (Thanks Rejil :P)
  • Lost three room keys in a raw (I solely reaffirm that I’m a stupid)
  • Being with Darpan (Phew!! I spared you Kausik ;) )
  • Gave more emphasize on my photo blog and started two more blogs
  • Blissfully loveless :)
  • Footprints- Team Kochi formation
  • Semester Exams
  • A handful of good friends
I must have missed a lot many important things that happened during the last four months but editing is one of the facilities offered by the blogger, I’ll update accordingly.
Flash back: A number of footprints team coordinators waiting for a meeting with the Director. Suddenly Anupam Sir (our respectable Deputy Director) came in and asked me, “Oh Midhun, When did you come out of the blog??” and my response was “I just came out sir”. Yes, I just came out of all the mad rush, total mess, happiness, friendship etc etc. Now I’m going through tranquillity which helps me to be more focussed and thus plan the future that I dream and to get ready for the ultimate race.

Hast la Vista!

'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...
