Can i forget this date, month and year? Well, not for the time being at least. That was the first day of college, a sort of an orientation program followed by a march towards our classroom and to our first lecture.

May 22 2008

Can i forget this date, month and year? I think i will. Viduthalai (freedom). From Misrimal Navajee Munoth Jain Engineering College, Thoraiapakkam, Chennai – 600097. The day i was confirmed a Mechanical Engineer.

A four year interval. What have i achieved. I have added about 10 kilos, lost touch with my favorite sport volleyball, and have had no female interaction. The only plus point is that i am a Mechanical Engineer from Anna University. But then it is the only point which matters. So no qualms.

What really disgusts me? I don’t know. Is it that i am from Anna University and not IIT or NIT? Or is it that i am a Mechanical Engineer and not a software engineer? Or is it that i am an engineer and not a mathematician or scientist?

Perhaps I would have enjoyed Mechanical Engineering if i had got in IIT. Or i would have enjoyed the software stream. The third question is would i have ever enjoyed any engineering. Maybe……

But a certain deadly formula is the only thing i have learnt in the last four years.

Engineering + Mechanical + M.N.M.J.E.C = Four Miserable Years

But like a phoenix, I will be re born from the ashes and proceed with the truth that I am an Anna University certified Mechanical Engineer.

Champions league

With the Champions league finals in three days time, Chelsea vs Man Utd will be a bitter and hard fought contest. Recent reports from Man Utd suggest that all 27 players are available for selection. However only 11 to 17 will matter in the final, and who the most  privileged are will be ascertained by Sir Alex Ferguson. I am an ardent Ma Utd fan and  am hoping for a win for my team after 9 yrs. The perfect combination of Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez and support from Ferdinand, Vidic and Hargreaves should force a win in our favour.

At the same time, i am not belittling Chelsea. It does look like they are an uncoordinated team with many a personal interests at hand. Didier Drogba is linked with a rumour to another giant club, Schevchenko hasnt got his due since he has come here, and Terry is on the verge of missing out. Yet this team remains one to be feared, just because of the dynamic duo of Ballack and Lampard.  Avram Grant must consider himself lucky to have reached the finals in his first season in charge.

So, I will meet you guys with a post match analysis after the finals.
