DATE:26/12/05
THINGS WE DID: We began the day wid a prayer and a Prayer song followed by a short speech
by Mrs.Shanthi who organized the entire camp.We took the NSS pledge and
the youth’s pledge and proceeded the day.
Firstly, we visited the Exnora farm at Cholavaram. The place was mind-
Boggling as it was entirely natural. The whole place was calm and quiet and was
Far a difference from the outside world.Here we met Mr.Natesan and his wife,
who took care of the entire Farm. Here we saw all about afforestation,
Nitrogen fixation, rain-water harvesting, the Usefulness of weeds, Algae and
lot more Things. The main concept behind the Farm was that we must keep
our mother Earth green and clean.
Mr. Natesan, gave us a detailed Explanation of how we must keep our
Environment a safe place to live in and how We can protect the earth by
doing some Small deeds as planting trees in our homes and surroundings. We also learnt about
Biological nitrogen fixation.
Later that day we went to the red hills old age
Home. The campus was extremely huge and
Beautiful. Here we met old people including
Couples who were desolated by their children.
We experienced the sufferings of them and tried
To brighten their mood by our happy talk and
Comforting words. We programmed a dance,
Skit and a song in the home and then
Proceeded to Muttukadu where we stayed.

DATE:27/12/05
THINGS WE DID: On this day,we started the day with a small prayer
and we also did some health warming exercises. We
later on proceeded to visit the karikattu kuppam.
The people who stayed here were tsunami victims.
Here we collected some data regarding their life after
Tsunami. It was surprising to see that the people who
stayed there accustomed to the place offered by the govt.
very well even though they were upset about leaving
their own homes. The children were being well educated in
near by schools.

DATE:28/12/05
THINGS WE DID: On this day we conducted a small program to the people
of karikattu kuppam about the importance of keeping the
environment clean. The program was in support by the
EXNORA. We informed them about the importance of
Hygiene and also the disease that would spread if the
environment was not clean. We projected to them a slideshow
on basis of this.

DATE:29/12/05
THINGS WE DID: On this day we conducted an eye camp to the people of
Karikattu kuppam. The camp was in support by the doctors .
Many ophthalmologist helped us to test the vision of the
residents there.A survey report of the camp told us that
most of the people aged between 50 to 70 suffered from
short sight and some cataract problem.

DATE:30/12/05
THINGS WE DID: On this day we conducted a small camp in a school in T-nagar.
This camp was conducted for bringing in awareness for the
dreadly hepatitis disease. We also injected many children
from the nearby area with the hepatitis injections so there
could exist a small population without the disease from those
areas and that it will bring in the true awareness of this
disease.

DATE:31/12/05
THINGS WE DID: On this day we went to an old age home in kanchipuram. It was very
pitiable to see the no of old parents left astray by their children. The
enthusiasm they posses, inspite of so much of sorrows in heart, shows their great
determination and will power. A large number of old people were involved
in handworks and their strength & vision of life was extremely amazing.Admiring their insights abt various thngs taught me if u have the wil to do sumthng,u can definitely achieve it overcoming the various obstacles tht tread it..
Thus ended my week long memorable experience on various thngs in life making me cherish every moment wid a lot of yearnings n learnings..

A wrap up of my 2007

January:
The year began wid all the 12thrs preparing hard for boards,n i was one among them too...running to tution centres morning n evening in d freezing cold,(atleast thts wat i felt at 5 in d mrng)writing tests day in n day out,in skl as well as outside..phew..can hardly remember what tym of the day i got up n slept back again..it was all haze thn...but apart frm studies,thr was deep bonding in skl wid our near n dear friends.the last few mnths was great at skl,especially wen everyone had a feeling tht we gonna miss the other in a few mnths as we wld hv all landed in different places..enjoyed every moment to the maximum..
February:
Feb again was full of revision exams....but amidst all tht was our farewell,which meant the skl was ready to chuck us out finally n i am dead sure tht thy wer very glad to do so,since my batch was proud to earn the name THE MOST NOTORIOUS batch n more gladly,we earned the name to hv spoilt the other junior batches..lol..ours wld hv been the oly farewell,wer we danced in one side,n the juniors wer performing for us at the other end..all teachers had a huge grin on their faces wen we bid thm "gud bye"n for namesake they wished us gud luck for our exams...u can imagine hw nice we were at skl thn..
March:
March went on wid d boards,n i seriously don remember a bit of wat i did..."onnum puriyadha natkal!"they are a missing part in ma memory until i dropped my pen at 12.45 , finishing my last exam which i dunno wat it was too....i guess it was math...nt too sure abt it...wasn't even feeling sleepy tht day...heart n mind were filled wid happiness as thgh i had achieved sumthng great in life aftr writing the boards-so called"the turning point of everyone's life"....
April:
The most unforgettable month where the most awaited dream came true.,widin the frst week of ths month....:):):)...other thn tht watever i did during ths month was fully according to my wishes...getting up late,watching tv,listening to songs,browsing the net,talking oer d fone for endless hours,going out wid friends...n i still remember,we used to see evry new release movie widin the frst week of release...tht jobless v wer!!!
May:
The first few weeks in may were a gud experience as i did sumthng useful like learning french,the language i admired the most,until the d-day came...eagerly sitting before the comp,peering into the monitor so deeply,wid deep awaited breath for the results..finally,thy came...my frnd called me up to tel thm,before i saw it myself...later tht day,din knw hw to react for my results...but all i knoe was i ended up in tears....crying my head off...so many ppl had 2 call n pacify...terrible!!!the entire month went off in deciding wat am gonna do next..gonna take an engg degree or a b.sc course...90% wasn't good enuf to get into a recognized college,being in an OC category..thts hw d days r....wat did the OC people do to b put down like ths evrywhr???no clues...
June&July:
June n july went on wid d college tension n finally,it was decided tht i wil b getting into "RAJALAKSHMI ENGG COLLEGE"...relieved tht i got into a college,continued the holidays by going to classes,playing wid cousins n so on..
August:
Ths month went on wid d expectations tht i wil be entering a college in few days,n hw s it gonna b different frm skl,hw s it gonna b to study in a co-ed college,(hvng studied in a grls skl since childhood),am i gonna get ragged??n so many other questions popping in mind..finally college opened the end of ths mnth n v had two boring days of lecture(the initiation day),n i realised i can cope up wid dis new environment hvng new ppl...
September,October,November n December:
College,the last few months,became like a second skl..getting up at 6 in d mrng to get ready n getting back home at 4.30....it was initially difficult to adjust wid d daily routine mainly aftr the 5 mnths long break and also since all the ppl wer new n oly a few familiar faces frm skl.. juding every person's character,be it teachers or students slowly turned out to b more facile in d forgoing days n d daily conversations changed frm one liners to endless talks frm 8-3....friends became more close n the feeling of skl was back again...shrng our own thghts abt d daily happenings,writing homeworks,tests,listening to boring classes,half the tyms commenting n getting caught or sleeping ,scribbling unrecognizable notes,evening online chatting,ths s hw it has been ever since coll strted....n i hope thngs turn out to b better the next yr wid more closeness n happiness in everythng...

Whr r v leading too??

My day was going on as usual today,a boring winter evening,n i was browsing the net in ma grany's place..wen suddenly,ma grany came running frm the hall to tel ma bro n me tht Benazir bhutto was dead...Both of us were pretty shocked,as we have heard tht was she was an eminent personality who was very dynamic n a great woman in the field of politics.It wasn't new to hear that good politicians are killed suddenly..thts becoming a part of our daily news isn't it?but thinking abt it deeply...do we ask ourselves,"where are we leading to?"..where s the peace tht we are supposed to maintain??..wer s all our childhood learning tht we r supposed to be friendly wid all n ol gone??its always been war in sum part of the world,or why world,some part of our nation..nation tht s a very wide part too...thr has been war in our cities...nah....in our streets...nope....in our neighbourhood...amongst ourselves infact...."i should b like ths,trendy,fashionable n nt b like a country brut since all ma friends wil ridicule me"...why do we always live for others n never for ourselves??does ths small confusion lead to big disasters in d wrld??may b YES..since,its juz bcoz we never let our mind rest in peace..its always in a state of high confusion of wat others wld thnk of us n ths leads to showing ourselves externally as hw others want us to be n much more,shwing ourselves superiorly n saying,"i can do anythng"wen the other guy asks me to do it,since i want to be at the top..ths small small feeling which we feel can definitely be taken in a positive way,wld nt b taken so by many of us ....all i wld like to say is.. LETS LIVE FOR OURSELVES N LET THE INQUSITIVE FEELING AMONG US ALWAYS PERISH.

THE BEGINNING

Hi ppl....
Ths being the frst blog frm me, I wld like to share a few thngs abt wat
n who I am, I am apoorva doing my frst year engineering in
Electricals and electronics. My life is good, like how everyone says
theirs s too,wid a lot of changes in myself n my life frm wat i
was in my 12th std. It’s pretty obvious though..he he...stepping into
the life of higher education in a reputed institution wil obviously
Make my life diffrent frm my happy high school days. Talking abt school
Days...wow...wat fun I used to have. Apart frm fun, my life at the same
School for 12 years really modified me n made me into a complete person
Enabling me to bring out my capabilities and helping me to understand
my true character, how I am different from others, n so on...many ppl
Don’t understand wat kind of person I am, infact I myself took a long
tym 2 analyse why I am like ths!!my uncontrollable anger n very frank
talks were disliked by many of my teachers who never considered
the negative part of me but always cheered me up wid my positives.
They elected me the captain of my house, n endowed me wid many
responsibilities thinking I wld carry them out efficiently..frm
which i was able to tap my leadership talents.My God gifted wonderful parents n
my friends have always been a great support to me,who always hv encouraged me
wid wat ever i do n really knws to correct me wen i am wrong.thse small small advices
frm my friends really brought in lots of changes in myself.The solitude i experienced wen
i was small,always used 2 make me go into my own imagination thnking abt wats life,who am i?hw my frnds r,wat i am wen compared to thm n so on....Thats ol in a gist abt me...catch u up wid somethng better in d next blog..he he....
