MITAFEST

As of the readers would have noted by now my blog has been hosted under a new domain www.srkarthikeyan.com and I am expecting the same kind of response from you readers. Feel free to comment on this blog.

This weekend I attended the culturals at MIT College (MITAFEST). For those who don’t know what is MIT, it is one of the leading government engineering college in the state and as it was spoken high of other colleges I expected more from their culturals. First of all I would like to inform you that I haven’t attended the culturals of other colleges and INSTINCTS (Cultural event of our college) is the only culturals I have attended so far. The crowd to the event will be around thousands and our college gets a good number of count in audience due to the overwhelming sponsors we get every year and so I was expecting at least a decent crowd in MIT. The first day when I reached Chrompet it was around 2 in the afternoon( as I had exams in the morning I had to start late). Don’t mistake me to be a dancer or a singer as I went to the culturals . The reason why I went for the culturals is to take part in the gaming event conducted by them and of course for sighting . I have took part in a couple of such gaming events before but haven’t been successful in any of them. People who know me must be aware that I am a die hard fan of football and have interest in FIFA. I was shocked at first by seeing the place in which the event was being hosted. It was a place where they park the shuttles and for tamil people try remembering the introduction song from the movie Five Star. Welding works were taking place in one direction within the place and a mere ten computers were used for the gaming purpose. There was a total of 4 events in gaming. I had no idea of posting about this else i would have managed to take a snap of the place. They didn’t forget to collect the entry fee for each event which was much higher when compared even to SRM College which is the only college in Chennai that charges more for events like this. I just went out to check the standard in which I was playing the game and I had no confidence of winning the game as it has more than 8 months since I played FIFA 08 ( I have been playing the new version of the game FIFA09 since it was released in August last year). The first round was much easier and I dominated the game right from the start and I had no trouble in proceeding to the next round of the tournament. So they asked me to come back the next day for the next rounds. I thought for once whether I have to travel around 50 kms for just playing as I wasn’t much confident on the event. It was one of my friends in college who insisted me to give a try to the event.

I went the next day a bit earlier as they told me that the second rounds will commence by 10.00 in the morning. But as there was shortage of systems they extended the prelims till 2 in the afternoon. The place was under an asbestos sheet and this made the place more hotter. I started getting head ache due to the heat and irritation there. I cursed myself for coming to the event. If I had been in hostel I could have enjoyed a lot sleeping . I thought of spending the time by having a look at other events. As on the previous day I have arrived late I couldnt actually roam around the college much. On the second day I found out that hardly 500 people would have come to watch the culturals. For a leading in the center of the city and having culturals on a weekend this number was too low and I was surprised. Then i consoled myself saying that ‘ இந்த மாதிரி கேவலமா நடத்துனா யார் தான் வருவாங்க’ . I played the next round and I lost the match and I was happier than I would have if I had won it because I just wanted to leave the place. I waited for my friend to finish his match too and so that we can leave for the hostel together. As already stated there was some working going on in the place where the event was taking place and they were welding beams at the roof. I managed to get a picture of the place from the movie for you but the place in reality was far worse than what it is in the movie. My friend CT ( His original name is Gokul Prabhu and CT is his nick name) was playing the match and as I was having a head ache I was sitting in a chair away from him and was facing towards him. Suddenly the people working were shouting and I saw a beam coming from the roof right towards the pople playing on computers. The size of the beam is given in the picture so kindly take a look at it. And it fell right next to CT and the CPU in which he was working flew some 20 feet away. The beam has missed him by just and if it had fallen on him I can’t imagine what damage it would have done. Organisers of the event didn’t even apologize for the incident and they simply started continuing the event as if nothing has happened. My visit to MIT has reduced the respect I had on the college before. Our college culturals is due in a couple of weeks and we hope that the event becomes a success as it happens every year. I invite you readers to attend the event which is scheduled to take place on March 5,6,7.

Love the deadly and the powerful weapon- Valentine’s Day Special

I have been planning to post this one a week ago but couldn’t find some time to do the job. I think this is the apt time for the post. No one on this earth could say that he/she have not loved or been loved by anyone. It is a beautiful feeling which everyone enjoys although it brings pain to most of them. In my earlier childhood days I was strictly against love and I don’t even like the romantic movies and the songs. Maybe the situation back in home could have been a reason for my thoughts in earlier days as my dad was strictly against love and is still against it now( Dono wat made him feel so stubborn against it and I have no guts to ask him the reason too). But my opinion has changed in recent times, say a couple of months and it is one movie that changed my views. You could have guessed the movie so far and yes it is Vaaranam Aayiram. I just love to watch the romance scenes of the movie over and over again. I didn’t just think that a movie can make an impact on a person to this extent and this movie also made me realize the positive part of love. Watching this movie again and again has pushed me into a state that I want to be loved now( Intha padam pathathula irunthu ore love padama than pakka thonuthunna pathukongalaen ) . I just don’t know whether this is right or wrong I just want to experience it now. With the valentine’s day arriving shortly only adds oil to the burning fire. This is the first time in my life that I am a bit excited about this particular day although I have no plans for a proposal on this upcoming day. I am single as of now but I give u readers assurance that this will not continue for long..

Give me some idea

A couple of days back I was playing on my desktop when one of my friend suddenly came up to me and told me that all the colleges in the state has been closed indefenitely and that we will be having holidays once again for about a week altleast. I thought this will be of no big issue as things will be pleasant in a couple of days and there won’t be much enjoyment on the board. The biggest surprise came to me the next day morning when they asked me to vacate the hostel. I thought this is something wierd and decided to move to the hometown following assurance from the college that there will not be classes for another ten days atleast. So what am I to do in these days( U just can’t pass time. It’s ****ing bore here) As of now I have planned to download the top 250 movies in the IMDB rating and watch as many movies as I can in the upcoming days. Right now I finished watching the movie Crash based on racialism. So if u have any good ideas for me post me then.
