India struggling to save series against Sri Lanka

India will have to play out of their skin to save the third cricket Test as Sri Lanka reduced them to 161 for five in their second innings on the third day of the final cricket Test.

With the series squared at 1-1, the Sri Lankans gained a first innings lead of 147 and were comfortably on the safer side after running through India's top order at close of third day's play.

Dravid dropped at one end while Laxman, struggling with an ankle injury was on and has scored 50 from 135 balls.Laxman fighting to save the match despite ankle injury.Our Salute to him.

Corporates make us wait

After placements we all are happy to get into a software company.We are greatly relaxed for we have the job in hand.But after we have completed our course all the corporates make us sit at home for months awaiting call letters.
In this time span decisions change.We may also have a thought of searching for some other job.Higher studies dreams come before us when we are idle.These days make us lazy and less inquisitive.
The best option is to make the best use of the time we have either in refreshing what we studied these four years or in learning something new so that we can be more productive.
As the saying goes "An evil mind is the Devils' workshop", so never be idle in these days.Never switch to wrong options.
Try to equip yourself in the best way so that you can be utmost productive for the software company in which you have been recruited.

High School Memories

I am here to share some remarkable memories of my school days.I have wondered what a transformation in myself from school to college life.I have never talked to any guy in my school apart from passing on some information. We enjoy among ourselves.All school day celebrations went on the same way.Even in our farewell we were the same.Only now i got the opportunity to talk with many guys who were my school mates.Only now i realise how we had dragged the school days missing their friendship.Even now i wonder how those days passed by.Last year of my school was so hectic with a strict time-table.Early morning maths tuition classes.Then school and then Arul Institute classes for Physics and chemistry.Evening daily lessons,record work ,preparation for class tests and so on.We never rest even in the weekends.TNPCEE classes in the week ends.I wonder whether it was me who strained so much.
I really feel i have missed the enjoyment with my school mates during school days.Now i have contacts with many of my school mates.It would be great if those school days come back now.Childish plays and talks are something very special.

My holiday trip

Not a big gang .Not a great tourist spot.But the enjoyment we 3(myself, Dhivya Raghuraman and Aarthi) had in the trip was incomparable even with a big gang or a great spot.On 15th july we started to tenkasi to aarthi's place where we had a royal treatment .Morning tiffin was like we were in a marriage .Even to the next street we went in their new car.After a heavy breakfast we saw Dasavatharam movie and started to the Cutralam falls .

We had so much fun there.For contiously 30 minutes we had permission to enjoy in the falls.
The next day too we went to five falls and old cutralam.Then aarthi had a huge farm full of cocconut, mango,gooseberry trees.We took snaps and had coconut water and roamed there the whole day.
We tried climbing over a mango branch and it was utter comedy.Then we all went to theatre and saw Subramaniapuram movie.
Aarthi's house was so beautiful and spacious.We never wanted to come back from her place actually.Its a duplex apartment with beautiful garden .


Fantastic outings ,movie,superb house,delicious food and ofcourse being with her was so enjoyable .We decided to plan more trips like this in the days to come.

College friends

I have to say i am so lucky to get precious friends in my college life.From first year till the last we have all enjoyed and had great fun together.Elliots beach outings ,movie,T.Nagar shopping and visit to Mansukh's restaurant,chatting at home in the name of combine studies,getting ODs for other college symposium for cutting classes,10 hands in one tiffin box,playing UNO during class lectures,playing word games and number games unnoticed,movie discussions,rumours,and lots more.
During exams we always study together and finish it off soon and start our usual job of chatting.Even during lab sessions we never do any sort of programming.Its only one girls' job and we all copy paste it.
All of us always eat together and enjoy.I really miss those days now.There is an alumni meet conducted by our college and i am looking forward to meet all of my friends again and refresh all memories.

first day in college

School days will be most enjoyable and memorable for many.But for me its the other way round.I enjoyed my college life from day one.There were no one from my school in Easwari engineering college and i was so much worried the first day. Thoughts about ragging and stuff was still more scary.
First day so tensed waiting in chromepet bus stop for Route no 1 .To add to the situation i was waiting at the wrong place.When the bus crossed me was baffled and somehow stopped the bus and got in it.All their eyes were on me.Even now my friends make fun of me with that incident.Then after sometime i was cool and looking at everyone wondering who were my seniors .
We had the function and touring on the campus for the first day.The Auditorium was full of first year students.Lukily whom i saw in the bus were sitting with me.I interacted with everyone and we had so much fun the whole day.By the end of the day we bacame good friends.I was very happy i had got so many friends the first day itself.But the next day the first years were separated into 8 sections and none of my friends were in my section.
I enjoyed looking back at these memories and sharing it here with everyone.
