Value of a Rupee!

After reading the title don't think that 'm gonna give a long drawn post about the value of a rupee. its just some basic facts which we all love to ignore.

An ugly jingle to your stride.
An embarrassment to a '7-figurer'.

Horrible worthlessness at the Mall.

Thrissur

I visited this place just to visit my closest friends home. he has been pestering me to come to his place for the past one and half years but usually something comes up due to which i could not make it. This time i finally got the time and opportunity to go.

for those who don't know Thrissure is know as the "cultural Capital of Kerala". Mostly famous for its Poorams(temple festivals), it has many great places to hang out which includes kerala's oldest mall, a lake to spend ur evening driving away whatever tesnions you have and many more places.

Once in the place u cant miss the famous Swaraj Round Also known as Thrissur Round, around which the whole town is built. There are also the temple of which the most famous are the Vadakumnathan Temple and the Paramekkavu Bagavathi Temple. These two temples are the main for the Trissure Pooram which is held annually.

There is also the Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours Also known as Puthan Pally, this is the biggest and tallest church in Asia, situated in the heart of the city. The gothic arcitecture used in this church is amazing. The bible tower gives you a great view of the city, but the climb can be a bit long and steep :)

If u go there dont miss the Vadakkechira. This is one of the largest pond located north of the city. The atmosphere will make u feel that u are not in a town, even if u are still only a few meters away from a busy traffic junction. A great place to spend your evening, if with friends the better.

Then visit the City center, one of the first formed malls in kerala and is maintained very well. With a variety of shops to wet a shopping happy persons apetite. Talking of apetite, the mall also houses excellent eatries which can surly wet your apetite :)

The town when u think of is small but has many things which can surprise you. actually i now have an ilking for the place that have been to this place twice in the past 2 months. :)

Going Places

These past two months have been very hectic as most of the time i have been out most of the time. My friends say that 'll go places after i finish my studies( actually i dont have any idea what they mean by that) and i have really been "going to many places" during the past 2 months. :)

For the past 2 moths i have been on travel most of the times that 'm actually never at home. Sometimes i have gone for a formal function. Sometimes with friends, family or just for fun. Have been to a variety of places that i really understood how much i love traveling, a feeling i never had before. :D

For this reason 'm opening a new label in the blog named "Travel",of which this is the first post. The label will have a description of the places i have been visiting or have visited in the past and what i have learnt from my travels.

Small is big!!!

Most of us have known of fights starting from small issues. Now i have witnessed one which started just because of a small 5 letter word written on a road that is nobody's property.

Now u will be thinking how a 5 letter word can lead to a fight. Now 'll say that the word was "ROYAL" and you will be yet again confused. But when i say that the people involved in the fight were the seniors and juniors of my college i guess you get an idea.

I wont go on explaining the events that lead to the fight or even the fight that happened. but this event set me thinking on how things can be always drawn out of proportion, how small things can lead to bigger things, how one cant just change the way how people think, or how people just jump to conclusions. A small thing which could have been resolved my mutual talk went on into a whole scale "war". I know fights have started for smaller reasons that this, but you actually feel silly when it happens right in front of you.

Now after the whole fight when people go out looking for the cause of the fight all they find is a 5 letter word.... now i seriously HATE that 5 letter word.. grrrrr

Another accolade

Right from the start of my college days i have held various positions and done various events for the college. I have held high posts of authority for my department, an independent organization, and many more. people have recognized for the work rate i put in and efficiency of my work. Maybe that why they honored me with the highest accolade that i have got in my college life till now.
****drum roll****
I have been elected College Council Chairperson(college captain). :)
***applause***

After rididng trough some tough competition i won by a landslide a election which i never thought 'll win. Maybe the students are too fond of me and thought 'll be an apt leader for them. Hope i can live up to the expectation that many people have on me.

Thanks to one and all who has contributed to this. Pray for me :)
