A century of Silence...

While looking through my college life photos, I realize how important college memories are to me. For a third person, those photos may be a simple snapshot of an instant. But for me those days were really awesome. Always hanging out with my friends... bunking class...rushing towards the project instructor to extend the date of report submission..."Friday special" discussions...going for a coffee break during class hour...cool strikes...treats and chat sessions in canteen... celebrations...I really miss those days. I still remember my first day in college. The whole year was felt to me as an era of "ragging". It was in fact a wonderful experience for me to get ragged by the seniors and super seniors. It was them who later become my close buddies. Though I approached them with timorous voice, I really loved them all. My best moments during the first year was with them rather than with my classmates. 

Then the Third semester... It was somewhat boring to me. Many unknown students and faculties. But the things changed soon after our college tour during the Sixth semester. Ha...college tour. It was the most memorable day where we all got more close to each other and cherished each moment together. This year was the most special in my life. It was really...really a great year of friendship. Words can't express how great was the friendship bond. I became more close to many new friends with whom I enjoyed a lot. They didn't made me a room potato. There was an unconditional love between all of us. Though we were stressed with many academic work during the final year, finally over time we started enjoying it to the maximum. Everything was just prodigious in the final year.


Then came the days of placements. Many of my friends get placed in some reputed companies. Some choose to do PG and some others planned to clear all their supplies. It was a time to prepare for the life to be on the right track. Though we all were rushing to the exam hall during the final university exam we were aware of the upcoming unbearable silence without all the celebrations. I still remember the last day. It was raining outside and we all were in the mesmerizing realities that we all had during those whole 4 years. That was the time to depart. Every shake hand has many unspoken words. But there were no tears and all on that day. We all left in a usual way. But, after a couple of free days, the cognizance of the end of college life started hitting on the heart.

By introspecting each and every moment, I realised that every little oddballs were what made the college life exemplary. The complaints...the arguments I had with my classmates and teachers...the classes I bunked...all changed to sweet feelings. Now, the absence of all those days is acting as a silence making an awareness that those moments can't be reproduced. Though we all have entered into a corporate life those memories have not yet slipped through fingers.

Review: Freedom from the known

This is a review on the book "Freedom from the known" by Jiddu Krishnamurti. I read this book about 2 months ago. This is the one and only book that I read from cover to cover with full concentration. I want to share my experience because this is the most deepest book that I have ever read and it was a challenging experience for me. The book is a philosophical one which includes the subject matters such as freedom, fear, self-centered behaviour of humans and finally meditation.                                                              The first part of the book describes about "Freedom". Here the freedom means getting free from all authorities. That is, free from the nasty rules of the society, religion and whatever the authority is and be with a fresh, young and an unconditioned mind. Jiddu mentioned that we should not merely f...

Mushrooming Boutiques in Kerala: The rise of Fashionista

Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing. For many people fashion is of higher priority while for others keeping up with trend isn't much important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is that, it always change . Now with giant chain stores like Fabindia and the dawn of fashionistas like Pallavi namdev and Donna Karan, fashion trends change faster and more global than ever. Let's have a glimpse on the trends in clothing among teenage girls which pave the way for the growth of boutiques.  The full skirt with long blouse, was once the traditional dress for teenage girls. But it's now disappearing from the fashion screen of Kerala. On ceremonial occasions and festival days, girls used to worn Pattu paavada. This is simply stitched from the nearby tailoring shops. But now such a scene has vanished.  The half saree facilitates the transition from pattu paavada to saree, something a bit more complicated garb. But the changi...

Department of Cataclysm

You all may be familiar with the proverb that "we all are students throughout our life." I have written an article, "An Ideal Guru" an year ago. Since I respect the teaching profession and also because of my good memorable experience, I wrote that article with pride. I was also in a great arrogance in getting the best teachers not only in my academic life but also in my real life. Now I've completed my PG in Government Engineering College, Wayanad.  GEC Wayanad... This is the field from where I learned " what not to be...how not to be.... " Years ago, I believed that a great teacher is the one who make the classroom a playground and who give little homework. My perspective changes as years pass. Now I believe that a teacher along with maintaining his/her professionalism, should definitely have a great character, behavior and attitude. Moreover, he/she should be a good listener.  I joined in GECW on September 2014. On the very first day, I met m...
