"guess this is the part and parcel of life.we dont get what we want and there is no clear answer why.we learn from our mistakes and we move on.life is so beautiful because of its uncertainty.lets try to accept that and hope for the best .we have a lifetime before us .this is not the end." -- One of my best friends. This had quite a bit of an influence on me.

"aval azagai paada oru mozhi illayae, alandhu parkka pala vizhi illayae, yenna irundhupodhum aval yennadillayae, marandhupoo yen manamae"- the song ive most often listened to since Minnalae was released.

"vunnodu naan konda bandham, mannodu mazai konda sondham, kaaindhallum adi eeram enjum" - fav 1 line in a song (kaneerae from Uyire if u are wondering which song)

"Eera odhattula soodu parappi esthiri podendi..." from Andangakka kondakarri, Anniyan bags the best pondi lyric ever written.
"Love may be chemistry but sex is definitely Physics" - Albert Einstein
(Note :I am MSc (Hons) Physics)

lines which make me forget myself end in
"sharanam sharanam sanmugaa sharanam ummmm"

"katta katta katta katta naatu katta... nattu katta", Room No. 2201, on 14th May 2002, night 2AM... with Avi uppamani, the one thing i never will forget in BITSian life. He made a sac A, me screwed up the Chem II compre next day to make a B.

I.R = V (Iyers are Vegitarians!) Lalitha's(my school phy teacher) way of making us remember things.

"Studies is the only thing you have to be selfish" - Gauri Raghuraman, my mam, my best friend in school.

"Its all in the game, idhellam vazkaila sagajamappa..." not the words but the way he tells it, Magesh.

"Naan oru daravae sonna..." - Thalaivar (T capital)

And the biles fly off...

3 balls... (cricket balls i mean) 1. the psd expects what they call a report, the most irritating job in the whole world next to reading "The time has come" on Suudhan's blog. 2. Adam suddenly asks me what he calls "expert advice" on some programmer crap. 3. was worser than Wasim Akram's yorker, Mario gives me a superb assignment, very interesting but takes too much mental work. all have the same deadline. next friday... and what am i doing? thats right, blogging!

Enthu, time and resources are like the 3 axes... when they intersect, its all zeros.

Well, now that ive left my mp3 player in Anil's, its primarily philosophy thinking/recollecting the process known as saponification (soap making). ive found one major mistake with me... i cant talk! for the first time, i always expect the other guy (girl) to come to me and start a conversation... i just dont understand how to start a conv with no topic at all. yup, i saw that very girl again in the UBahn again today, but still i didnot talk... fatsch. I have 6 people in my room... i doubt if three of them even know my name... and it hurts, badly! HELP... i need to start talking atleast to these people, and the first conv is toooo late (4.5 months!) so it has to look natural, pew, ive given this too much thought, no use at all...

Avi now has the password for this blog, i hope he starts bloggin here too, so u will see a signature from now on...

Raghu.

On second thoughts

Ive always got my second choise... Second in school, second best institute possible, second best group possible (B5A3 :) ), why even my PS1 and PS2 were second choises. and if the trend continues, i must be doing my PS next sem very close to my birth town, in a place called Nagapattinam, helping people come out of the trauma and submit my report titled "BITSunami, need i say any more". My third choise was worser, Birla Museum Pilani. I hate to miss these rare opportunities to show off (thaddi) .

No work, a new movie site from which i can download 1980s movies, planning a trip to Italy, 4 calling cards, 4 Euros each, in 4 days, yesterday's nightout in Anantha's house after 1 AM at -3 Degrees are the major changes in life so far.

At times even i turn philosophical, i realised this when giving advice to 2 jus in BITS Pilani and Goa, and when you type out things, u actually get an opportunity to revisit and reaffirm ur thoughts. Hence is the purpose of this blog as well. When i look at the posts a year ago, those beautiful days in BITS... ummm...

I think i am a masochist (ignore meaning 1, 2 of dictionary.com), i actually like thinking about the past and a few things that hurt me badly. Damn the harmones. These lines, i quote from a friends email, have been ringing thru my mind like a thenju pona cassette...

Satya Sai Zentrum, Muenchen!

Anil is quite different... He took me to this center in Aidenbachstrasse, i was expecting at max 5-6 people. But it was slightly different, there were 50-60 people. with the temperature outside being 0- and with my infinite layers of winter wear, lots of thoughts running parallely only Dual processor hyper threaded brain (company spinoff, CAT on the 20th!, first time at a full German gathering, expected snow in 3 hours), i was autistic at first. Germans are very friendly! After 15 min of "Om Satya sai", 10 min of meditation, 1 hour of bajans (in German, English, Sanskrit and Anil tells me also Hebrew), there was a movie on Sai's childhood days. a quite fully translation from i guess Kannada to English. People who know me cud easily guess what was going on in my brains as one man was potrayed as God. At the end we had veebudhi, prasadam, its not sundal/pongal it was a superb chocolate cake. I think its a great idea to implement this in India, i project a 45% increase the number of people who visit temples.

I pray for just one thing... "World Peace" Brahmaa...

At 10 in the night, we just ran to U3, and went back to Studentenstadt, the moment i stepped out of the UBahn station, kutti pieces of ice were falling on my face. Ive never seen snow before but i was expecting it, there were predictions a week ago that this thursday wud be snowing, and there were people wondering how that could go wrong... but still the first feel was amazing. i guess it must have continued ove the night, in the morning when i came out of my room, all that i could see was white. i miss being with a figure to enjoy this... HELP!

Paris and no blogging for 2 months

My trip to Paris is a long story, guess most of you must have got the mail "Rue de la Kuppamedu" and the numerous shoutings that followed. For the others, http://photos.yahoo.com/raghuramanb_2000 and http://photos.yahoo.com/vasanthkumar_raju

Actually lifes changed a lot last 2 months, work load went from 10kgs to 10 gms. the lonliness factor has been mordified, thanks to Brown and Vranesic (Digital Logic Design). Also the infinite hours spent on gtalk, skype with Kaushik, Madhu, Gult and a lot of other people has kept me busy.

With CAT just 2 days down, now its a different feeling altogether.

Long time

The last updated post is on the 23rd of Sept... pew, no time after that? no, absolutely disgusted with the way things went that blogging was out of my mind till one Mr "Kuttipayan" reminded me of it.

I will restart immediatly, but before that, im just posting 2 mails that i sent to the usual groups, they are pretty old, but...

will be back in a day or 3
