Year end is around the corner and it is holiday time....after west has influenced our language, clothes and food, now we are influenced with our holiday time too...During my school days, newyear was never celebrated (only the chithirai first, tamil new year, was celebrated)...i have fond memories of going to church on the cold nights of December for Christmas...the infant jesus in the cattle, lighted with candles was a beautiful sight for the eyes...this is the time, they also used have volley ball matches in RC school (I do not know which one draws the crowd, Jesus or the volleyball)...
Went to Tanjore lastweek for a campus interview and i would say, it was not that good. I do not know whether my expectation has become higher or the students standard has gone down or the major IT players are taking the best performing students...what ever the case, i could not find good candidates. it is good to be student at this time, right? where in companies after companies coming to the campus to recruit and have a job secured even before completing the course...i still remember the campus interviews i used to attend in Bharathiar university...none of them were successful...the one close i came to was Integra...
Went to Tanjore Big Temple...the moment you walk in, you start to feel that it is a place where the great kings of tamilnadu used to walk...it was majestic...i always have a feel that religion and politics go hand in hand...be it christianity or hinduism or islam, the have complete integration to the politics...Infact, hinduism seems to be a lifestyle, rather than a religion...
It is refreshing to know there are so many things still in tamilnadu...i am going to start the car on thursday and going to have a big tour in tamilnadu...let us see how many places i can see...ofcourse, this time i would have the family constraints...but let me try this trip unplanned..
Took off from work today and not doing much at home...yet to finalise the tiles for house (i do not know, how many more times, i would visit the tiles shop before deciding)...went to look for a wheelchair for mom...thinking of that, not sure how mom (for that matter of face, anyone) would feel when they see the wheelchair...
