I owe a lot to these idiots !!!

Keerthivas !!! He will make you believe that whatever he says is true ! Am easily bowled out by his words most of time !

Rajkumar - Our gang cant forget him or Diwali. Memorable diwali at keerthi's under construction house. Dont remember the year exactly. But we had fun teasing him under heavenly influence !!!

Our gang Romeo - Karthi ! Flirting is his inborn thing ! But at times you will be at risk because of him ! We have taken many such risks in life for him.

2nd Year (3rd SEM) at PSG

Still remember the first day of 3rd semester. Mr.KMK (HoD) Electric Machines - I, we were not having first hour. (Opening day - only 2nd hour). Class was in N Block - opposite to main campus, think the room no was 204. We were there much ahead of time, but was exploring the kirukkal's written in the bench.

As soon as the class started, my beloved friend Bala said something on the kirukkal written on the bench which i had a look. But the next moment i was caught by KMK for watching the time on my watch. He thought that i was looking at the watch.

" Eppo than class arambichirukku, athukulla watch parkariya? nee veliye pogariya ellay naan pogattuma " - then next minute was out of the very first class of 3rd sem.

Barring HoD & GKG, rest of the department was fine with me.

But that happiness did not last long. We had applied mechanics paper in 3rd sem, for which we had a lady lecturer (for first time) forgot her name, but later came to know that she is a distant relative of my friend Ramachandra prabhu. Problem started with a special class declaration where both her & HoD were in locker heads. Both wanted the same hour, one claiming the precedence over the other. Each asking me to tell other that they will take. When i approached HoD, to tell this, then i was asked to leave the department & join mechanical instead as i am supporting her.

I had a really tough time coming out of this mess. Had to literally fall at HoD's feet for this.

For this i had to literally struggle for myself in the department and no one dared to come beside me in support to take HoD head on.

This really pissed me off to move out of the department contact in times other than classes.

Started moving with other department guys in particular Mech. We went on outing to kovai kutralam, 40 kms south west of coimbatore. Joseph,Rams,Yaseen,Vijay & me heading towards our destination.

On the way at alandurai, we stopped for the essentials (guess) purchase & stuffed it in our backbags as in forest area those are not allowed. Backbags had our dresses for venturing into the water. En route we have go past a uphill terrain, during which the bag which contained those essentials broke. (Bag strap gave away - crashing everything inside). On reaching our destination, we had to quench our thirst (!!!) by squeezing our dresses. It was almost a ration for all the guys !!!

First time lit the fag ! there in the waters of siruvani. It was terribly cold water and after playing some fire needed in the body, suitably supplied by joseph.

So guys it all started from there !!! water & fire (pancha boothams) Left one .. still one is with me (occasionally)

PSG Tech - Place where i was born again

July 1992 - the day i stepped into this great institution without an idea of what i will be 3 years later.

First day class in A Block. New atmosphere, new friends.

though i belonged to EEE dept, many would have seen with the MECH guys all the 3 years around. Joseph, Rams, vijay , Bhai, Ganesh all together. And of course Koli Bala...

Who can forget this idiot Bala who made me a victim to HoD Kameswaran ? From first Semester to the last, i was always at the bad books of HoD. We were sitting in the front desk and this fellow yawned by stretching his legs & hands at HoD. Got caught and me since i was sitting next to him, also got caught. " NEE avan nanban, neiyum appidi thaan erupay, neeiyum veliye po"
This made a platform for our stronger friendship with me & koli Bala. My mother still remembers this incident because of which she had to come to college to meet HoD.

Beach at PSG tech, which is non existent now, was a great place to hang out especially for bird watching. Quadrangle, beach and andapuram was integral part of any psgtian life.

Can't forget the bus life too during college days. 11G,13B & 39 were our official carriers of our gang which consisted of few of beauties from neighbouring college PSG Krishnammal.

Roja was the first official movie which we saw - bunking our college may be twice i think with our gang. First time, it was almost empty. Second time we had to go through long queue. That was in our first year - 1992.

Then came our trip to Ooty during semester holidays. Along with our PSG gang, but to our surprise, we had to take shuttle journey's from coimbatore to mettupalayam, then almost 4 hours of standing in queue to get our bus to ooty. Then trip to ooty in standing in most luxurious (of that age) trip, in foot board to ooty.

Enjoyed every single moment with our gang - i donot know who is having all the pics taken on that trip. May be jose / bhai.

Our daily visits to NMB bakery (which cannot be missed in any PSGtian's memoirs) will not complete with a smoke, special bun & chai. Mostly funded by Jose (our financier) Later we had a set up with the supplier who will undervalue the bill every time we visit, (our job of fixing started from there itself). Understood that this supplier later got caught & sacked. Even today you can find one supplier by name Mani - who can recognize us for all the wrong reasons.

When it comes to Lab & Engg drawing class - no one in our batch can forget " Auto shankar" a terror among us in Lab. Particularly in lighting lab - the way he instructed & the next moment we did exactly what he told us not to do. Immediate result - thrown out of Lab & internals - ZERO. Can't forget those hilarious moments in life at PSG.

Another funniest character in college was one Mr.Ganapathy - Chemistry dept. A guy with a great timing sense. His famous dialog was " KANNA ADIKADI NIYUM CLASSKU VANDAINA THAN NAAN YAARU NU UNAKKU THERIYUM, NE YAARU NU ENAKKU THERIYUM " This was made to great guy "Arivalagan" who was from udumelpet, later he dropped out in first year itself. Ganapathy - a chain smoker who shares a good bonding with all dept students.

Sundaram - Ace Mathematician cum NCC officer. Guy who writes bogus accounts for the sake of getting his daughter's married. It was like a gurukul where this professor would give some work & will sleep in the class itself. Still have memories of N block classes - post lunch where we have to hear his deafening noise (what else engine) When he was ill, we were well taught by one Mr.Selvaraj from same Maths dept, fondly called as "SADDAM HUSSAIN". Rightly so, as he would fix a guy and then see to that he starts walking away with his humiliation of not knowing how to carry out the problem. But he saw to that at the end we all knew the tricks of maths as per the curriculam.

English - Chandra Madam, was a calm & composed lady - who made even the ones who came from Tamil medium comfortable with the language. On the other hand there was one Mr.Pichaandi (forgot his real name) who will make their lives miserable. If today am comfortable making presentations with great ease, then the credit should go to chandra madam to great extent.

My issue with Mr.Govindaraj (GKG) - who took Batteries & circuits in first year still continues. Made me a bad guy along with santhanalakshmi during 2nd sem for no fault of us. We had this strained relationship even in 3rd year.

First year - we all went through much at ease in academics.
