Visit to Sivananda Gurukul...

Hey guys .. after many days ... huh???
Yeah..been busy with relocation from bangalore to chennai and oof... You know how tiring these starting of new semesters will be.. anyways.. today we shall go sligh in to mood of social concern .....

As the Bright Big letters above already suggest you that I am gonna tell you about my visit to a gurukul .. basically it was a multi-faceted ashram with orphange , oldage home, vocational training centre and what not !!

I started at around 9 from my room and damn with these insti buses (they went to cost cutting and decreased the frequency ) I caught one @10 , time the other members of our team visiting fixed up to meet @tambaram(a station in chennai). Came out of IITM and caught an auto to guindy and when i got down at guindy there was a big queue for the local train... I never seen such a long queue in any other local stations. I stood in the line and thought what if I was a MLA with people around me .. I could have taken the tickets trespassing all these junta. " Idiot ... dont have manners" in tamil brought me back to real life and these words are from a elderly woman infront of me who was annoyed by me looking at her (actually I was not, I was having my MLA day dream). I apologised in little tamil I know and I am sure she dint care. Looks like she wanted someone to pour her anger on her husband on to... and I was there .... What a idiotic dream I thought.. If I was an MLA.. I would have taken a car.. am I not??

My team mate called me 3 times before I reached the tambaram station, why would not she ? I have kept them waiting for 1 hour. Finally I reached and since we were new to one another, we resorted to a way of dress recognition . She found me very fast, Yeah..she is a data analyst. I had no worries recognising her, Thanks to Orkut. There were one more team mate of us.. looking like she was thinking...."Okay, So he is the jerk kept us waiting..." I get lot of these :) We introduced one another and after half an hour we are in front of the Ashram.

Its very funny how sometimes very un noticed people becomes ultimately powerful.. We saw the asram gates closed and after peeking inside I found a watch man , a typical big bellyed , elderly person.. looking at us like we are accused in his court of law. We asked to open the gate.. he said "adakjdakld" thats what we cud hear. and my little tamil was in no position to talk to this guy.. I have my team mates and they shud not think I am a useless guy...I stood there just waiting for his re action and wished it would be fast..... He said again "adadfnakfnka" ... Then out of his talk .. I got a word that I know ... "donation" ... I said donation back to him again for some n times with my head nodding in a funny way.. He let me in.. Wow.. I felt I cleared the JEE again..

Will complete this in the next blog.. Its time to Lunch .. Bye u guys...
