Happy birthday Sat

Sathiyamoorthy, Sathiya, Sat, Moonu Seetu, Praveen, Mit Romeo, Pulsar.Bike, Sat Wins, Sat feelings - So many identities. One person.

Keyboard. Japanese. Dancing. Biking. Metal Embossing. Electronics. Engineering. Marketing and most importantly Figure-correcting :) - So many talents. One person.


Of the many things that he has done over the years, the one thing that touches me even today is how he opted out of L&T during the campus interview. Only the top 5 were allowed to take the exam and Dinu was at No 6 that time. Knowing this was Dinu's best shot at getting a job and relying on his core skills to get placed in Sanmar/Honeywell, Sat didn't appear and the rest is history!

Here's wishing you many many more happy returns of the day machi! Have fun and have a blast! I know these are tough times but i'm sure success will follow wherever you go!

Cheers -

"Who said stars are uncountable?" - was the caption on the photo in the T Shirt that the 11 of us specially ordered to be made for the Goa trip. I think the idea was Sat's, not sure though, the photo was digitally pieced together on Photoshop by Vijayakumar I guess and the caption was Perry's suggestion. Mr Moonu Seetu along with someone else made the final orders with a shop called "Jus' Kidding" in Spencer Plaza and we were ready to rock the tour with our cult clothing!

This pic was clicked at Vagator Fort / Beach, Goa - yeah, the Dil Chahta Hai location!

I know it's easy, but still - Can you try listing down the people in the photo from L-R?

Massive metamorphoses

It's Memorial Day weekend here and almost everyone is out of town. I am on-call this week and my work demands that I spend these 3 days at home. Almost saturated with boredom, I decided to come up with this funny piece. I am sure you'll love it. With my limited cut-copy-paste skills and with no good software, I have put up the below pictures from my archives. It's just a collection of 3 of our class guys' photos - taken way back during our 2002 Cochin tour and some pictures taken pretty recently.. After looking at the pics, I am sure you would approve of the title of this post.

Flashback Video

Karimes has created yet another wonderful video. This time he has pulled some of the photos that were taken during our 4 year long college life and synched it up to the title song of the movie Dil Chahta Hai.. Now then, i seriously doubt whether Karimes is the brain behind these stuff :-) ! Anyways, Karimes - you rock mate!! Enjoy the video..

Continuing the series with this picture from Intecho 2004.


It was taken on Jan 11, 2004 - the last of two days of our department's annual technical symposium "INTECHO". We had these random photo sessions after the valedictory function got over at Rajam hall and after everyone else left. This one was taken at the CP Ramasamy OAT. It was all IT 53 with a handful of juniors around. I, like many of our class guys, will always cherish those moments as if it were a rare treasure. We were shouting, dancing, hitting each other and behaving as madly as we could and as if there was no tomorrow. Any topic on Intecho 04 would be incomplete without the following:
1) Rao Restaurant stall - Man, i can never forget it.
2) The so-called DJ party arranged by Jeeth and his - "Machan! Last Intecho da machan!!" dialogue.
3) The movie Kovil to which we went that night at Tambaram Vidya theatre
4) At the last moment, Stanley (51st IT) was made judge for one of the technical presentations due to non-availability of staff!
5) Salman's and Gokul's speech at the function. Salman with his - "Intecho Two thousand four is a grand success!" and Gokul almost forgetting Pk's name!! Gosh!
6) Gokul and Vijayakumar architecting the stage backdrop and Arvind not allowing them to take a photo with it!

Well, there are others too. I have just written the ones that came off the top of my head. Include your memories in the comments section. Cheers!!

MIGHTY IT ZINDABAD!!
