The Breakup Letter

Image
It's been made formal to disclose it publicly, otherwise it would have been formal! From,          The heartbroken soldier To ,          The Devil Subject: Confirmation of Resignation from the post of bodyguard-reg. Hateful Ma'am,                  I've been providing you with substantial cover from everything dangerous that could happen in any College environment. Somedays were beautiful to cherish many were full of problems and made my heart heavy. But still those loveable days give me nostalgia, brushing away the bad ones.  The phrase kills: "I hate you, Let's break up " The phrase gives frenzy: "I love you more than anyone else in this world" When I hear it now, I'm like, WTF! Loveable days didn't mean that I made love the convention way, hugging, kissing, making others uncomfortable. I tried hard to make it clear that it's beyond physical. But it t...

Tender Love Proposal

Image
"Representative, collect ₹20 from each one in the class", said the Math teacher for the copies of study materials she made for the class, earlier.  And this guy was the representative, a cool and knowledgeable, straightforward and calm, not rough though stiff, a kind of a boy who is liked by everyone in the class, irrespective of gender, designation, good in studies or bad in studies.  He tends to follow rules closely which alienated him from others in the class. It's pretty good that one chooses Electronics and Communication Engineering(ECE) stream in which the girls' strength exceeds that of the boys. But when it comes to collecting money or notes from the whole class, it sucks. How can he go to each girl in the class and collect money, it might have felt no less than begging.  "Hey, dude, to whom in girls side shall we handover the responsibility of collecting money?", asked him to his neighbour and friend Thabeth Godson, as ther...

Jaunt in KRP Dam Park

Image
On 26 JUL 2019, some final year students of the Government Law College, Dharmapuri, Tamilnadu, India embarked on a trip to the KRP Dam. Arranging this trip was not so easy, it was done with difficulty. Thanks to the organiser Annai Sathya Akka(Akka(Tamil): Sister). When heard for the first time, I could do none other than to relate the name with "Annai Teresa" (Annai: Tamil: Mother). I've never met them before, neither they did. But it all just happened! Thanks for lending me your space. Engineering students, do it in the name of Industrial Vist(IV), most probably for the last three years of their college life, however, they are entitled to go on an Industrial Vist(IV) every year. Some batches take time to get along amongst themselves that they get to taste it only twice, in the last two years. It's not just necessary it's an essential thing. We were a group of 24+3, 24 regular students and 3 outlanders...

Perspective pieces, Marathon

Image
           On 12 Jul 2019, Christian College of Engineering and Technology, Oddanchatram, Tamilnadu, India, organized a marathon as a part of its founder's day celebration.            Marathon is a long run which is 42 km long. A mini-marathon is half of a full marathon ie 21 km. Ours can't even be considered as a cross-country race as we ran through the main and metalled road, there was no running through any countryside. And we're told it's an 8.5 km run. Wondering what! Here started the first thought.            Roads and bridges were under construction. Weather apps may show the weather is good to run through. But the construction yard made it contradicted. This is how the environment gets polluted by particulate matter and air quality decreases. But what about the workers who had to water the cement ridden area so that dust doesn't fly into the respiratory systems of living beings...
