This article is chumma for vetti vambu sake! Though most of it is my experience,
I am sure many of you reading this will be able to identify yourself with most
parts of the article (if not the whole of it)! It's pretty longish !!

Life goes on and on / oru Madras payyanin kadhai
This is about a typical Madras middle class payyan's life. Let's start the story
from say when the payyan is in 8th class in school!
The rat race to academic excellence starts by the time 8th std is over. For that
is the time when Brilliant Tutorials admits students for his Foundation Course
for IIT JEE. appA takes you to T.Nagar to Brilliant's office and after talking
to one of those managers there you are into the Foundation Course and appA's
bank balance down by Rs.1000 at least.
[This was then way back in 1985. I don't
know how much is it now! And if Brilliant goes at this rate I wouldn't be
surprised if he starts a preparatory course for pre KG admissions! Did you
guys know that Brilliant is the largest private tutoring institute in India
with an annual turnover of Rs.1.5 crores?]
Once you enter std 9 it is time to slowly start winding up most of your favorite
childhood hobbies be it playing some instrument or collecting
stamps or going to the next street to play in the evenings or ...
OK by the time you are in std 10 it's time for some despo studies! For otherwise
you won't get into the MPC Bio group of the "good" schools. Fine! once std 10
is over, it's time you started thinking more "seriously" about studies (as if
this was not enough!) And for CBSE school guys it's time they made a decision
as to whether they want to switch to State Board HSC schools or not! OK
10th class results are out and the mad rush for admissions into MPC Bio group
starts by June and goes on till July end!
OK you are into std 11. Brilliant has another plan for you. (Like this AT & T
and MCI plans :-) OK join that as well and make Mr.Thanu (Brillinat's founder)
richer by at least another Rs.1000 ! Now it's time you decided what second
language to choose! Before you realize what's happening 11th class is over.
The teachers wind up 11th class portions by December, for they are not very
important. OK come January you start with your 12th class portions in
Math, Physics and Chemistry (I didn't take Biology for during our year alone
they decided to "separate" the Engg and Med streams to prevent migrations
between the two groups of colleges after admissions are over! enna logic O?
andha arnaganAyagathhukkEy veLichham 8-( 12th class portions continue till
April end and time for summer break! Probably the first summer break when
you are there studying desperately when all your athhais/ mAmAs / cousins/
chithhis/ ... are there to visiting Madras and busily enjoying themselves!
By the time 12th class starts it's time you put some real despo and looks
like every guy in the class is taking some tution or the other! Doesn't
matter what your level of academic standing is, tution is a MUST in Madras
these days! By now quite a lot of people have forgotten about JEE and
decided to "concentrate" on 12th class studies, ( I am one obviously .-) )
for, JEE you can try till you are 21, but plus two you can't take again!
OK! decision made and despo goes on till you have the public exam in March!
All this while , looks like the only important thing in this whole world
is the 12th exam. Of course the constant reminder from ammA and appA:
" nammellAM forward community. padippu thAN romba mukkyam! padippu thAn
namakku sothhu! nambaLalEy 1 lakh capitation ellAM katta mudiyAdhu..."!!
and all that usual stuff !!! You burn the midnight oil , wake up at 5:00
in the morning to prepare for the mid-terms/ model exams etc.!!
Familiar sounds that you hear at this time would be
All India Radio's starting music in Shuddha dhanyAsi, flowing out of
opposite flat mAmA's radio (I am sure everyone of you have heard this!)
On Saturdays the air reverberates with M.S. Subbulakshmi's "vEnkatEsa
suprabhAtham"
By 6 o' clock you hear "ammA pAl" .... followed by the first PTC bus service..
Finally time for 12th exams arrive! Practicals : Almost everybody gets full
marks, but for the really laid back ones, probably!! Theory exams start!
For the 10 o' clock exams you reach at 9 itself! Pray to every possible God
on this earth, for it's uncertainity about future that fuels the feeling
of devotion ! (This O of M is VVH :-)
Done! Exams over and time you can relax a little bit! In one month's time
it's "results time" cum "rumour time" !! God how fast these spread through
out Madras irrespective of which school you are from! Somebody says that a
friend of his told that " Results are coming out next week Monday". Monday
comes but without the results! Somebody else says " No dA! my mAmA knows
somebody working in the DOE and he says it's coming only on June 2"!!
And people who took the 12th exams in 88 would surely remember the sad
story when some schools in Madras had to redo their Chem theory exams
for their papers were damaged in transit!! God ! what all rumours about
that as well! One guy said "CV my perimma says those papers included
bundles from Adyar area schools dA! So the probability that we take our
exams again is quite high dA!" and what not? [ I am just imagining if
such a thing could happen here (US)! Probably the students would have
sued the Govt for 100 million $ :-)]
OK OK! After a couple of weeks of anxious waiting the "result day" finally
arrives bringing its own goods and bads for all the students!!
(In my case it turned out to be too good! I was too thrilled to see my photo
on the Hindu the next day and I still can't forget the stupid interview with
that reporter :-)!!!
Fine! One month from now it's "entrance exam" time!
One voice inside you says " But entrance, you don't have to take it too hard ,
you can relax"
while another warns " Remember if you screw up the entrance then all your
efforts in the public would go waste"!!
During this 3 to 4 week period you grow tired of telling your marks/ MPC
aggregate / total etc to every T D & H who meets you! You are drowned in
a sea of advices! Did you apply to this college / that univ ...!!
All set and entrance done! By the middle of July admission lists appear
in the Hindu along with the respective cut-offs !! Fine!! your number
appears and a big sigh of relief at home ! happA!!
NOW STARTS THE COLLEGE LIFE!!
Enter that coveted Computer Science at the mighty Guindy Engineering College,
the oldest technical school in South Asia , started in 1794 !! Our Diro makes
it a point to start the college history, given the slightest opportunity!
Guindians reading this will surely agree with me! All that talk about
survey school... kalasa mahAl... God! I 've heard it enough times!!
First semester a little scared about ragging! (though Guindy was heaven
compared to most other college raggings :-) First semester transition from
school to college takes some time and quite a few adjustments! This
continues to a certain extent into second semester as well!
Begin second year one of the best times of your life starts now! What fun we
had in our class! All those All India "Industrial" tours, culturals,
technical meets, bicentinnial exhibitions, paper presentaions ... what not!
By now you invariably have a vaNdi that appA has bought you for your good
show in acads !! If you don't have one you always have another guy's vaNdi
at your disposal!! It's time go round the city and invade every single theater
on Mount Road in big groups !! If the hostel gang also joins, thereby making
a sizeable group, then it's time to shout in the theater "gumthalakkadi
gummavA CEG nnA chummavA" !!! These movie sessions always come with a couple
of unforgettable goofs! Once our whole class landed up at the Anand theater
for the matinee show of "anjali" only to realize that the tickets had been
booked for morning show! God it was so embarassing !! Another time in
Devi Paradise complex, we ended up watching "Private Lessons" instead of
"Singara velan" ...
Needless to say college includes all usual "Pair making - breaking" stuff
and this provides useful stuff for the marathhadi vambu sessions!
yAru yArOda engEy pOnA?
yAru yAr bike lEy yErinA ?
yAru yArOda endha hotel la pOy sAppitA?...
And the best part of these gossips at the CS dept in Guindy
was a couple of faculty members were part of the gossip gang, equally
interested in these pairs as their classmates .-)
Fine! in college you enzAy as much as you can for all that you had lost in
school while preparing for these wretched exams!
Once your third year is over it's time for GRE! Catch hold of Barron's,
Rosenblum and ... , create new disk space in your head for some 2000 new
words (some of them the weirdest on this earth! Nobody would have ever even
heard of them)!! June of your third year is GRE, August TOEFL and for CS
majors October AGRE !!
By now all preapps have arrived , your recos are ready and all set to send
your applications!! Typically the list is 7-10 long! Now all this apping,
GRE, TOEFL etc contributes to a reduction in your dad's net worth by about
Rs.30000 !!! (I am sure it's more now !!)
Come Feb / March of final year it's time to expect letters from Univs in US!
(Assuming that you have got assistantship, the rest of it follows as below!)
You are pleased with yourself on having made it to US with assistantship!
In one month's time all your relatives and neighbours know about it!
Opposite flat mAmi meets you on the way and says "Congratulations! Aid
kedaichhuduthhAmEy!! pOyittu thirumbi vara idea irukkA illaiyA?"
You say, "aiyyO illa mAmi! innum visa vangavEllai! adhukku appram sollAmnu
irundhEn! Sure A MS mudichhuttu konja nAL work paNNittu vandhudalAm nu
irukkEN" !! ( DOn't deny it! Everyone of you have told this when leaving
India)!! Explain to mAmi which univ what form of assistantship etc.
By June it's time for you to go to your relatives homes outside Madras!
Goto thAthA-pAtti's/athhai's/ chithhi's/... family friends'! Onething strikingly
B
common to all these visits would be that you will hear of umpteen new
relatives in the US !!
athhai would say "dei! athhimbEr oda, thambi oda, wife oda, mAmiyAr oda
... oda oda oda ... New Jersey lEy irukkAdA (vErEy enga irukka mudiyum :-)"!
By the time you come home after visiting all your relatives your address
book is filled with a minimum of 5 US addresses under each alphabet !
(Of course with the exception of letters like X, Y,Z...! But believe me
I have 3 entries under Y !!)
All the while you do namskarams to every possible elder in the family!
thAthA proudly parades you in front of his friends and that good old
mAmA who had talked to you in Tamil all these days would start showing
his " andha kAlathhu BA (hons) English from Madras University " !!
All visits done and you reach back Madras ! This shall be followed by
a visit to your "kula dheivam's kovil" ! And for the unfortunate lot
for whom it is Thirupathi, I can very well imagine the long long hours
of waiting in the queue, especially during this time of the year!!
(I had to stand in the "special queue" for 8 hrs)!! Now back to Madras!
By now it's July and it's time you got seriously into business! Going to a
foreign country is no joke for it requires lots of preparations! Go with
your other classmates who are going to US as well, block tickets with atleast
3 agents, buy new dresses, suit cases and most important of all
"prestige pressure cooker"...
Seriously get into some real cooking! Learn to make sambAr, rasam ...
By mid-July usually thAhtAs and pAttis have come to Madras to see u off
by August 1st week! Busy preparations going on making paruppu podi,
milagAi podi, this podi, that podi , appLAms ... what not! At times I
really wondered "what for am I going to US? To study or samaichhufy?"
You get hold of a copy of that unparalled and unchallenged "samaithhu pAr"
by Meenakshi ammAL !!
All set, you got the visa, ticket, foreign exchange clearence !
During the final week you bid bye to local folks!! From mAmbalam to
Mylapore to ThiruvAnmiyur to Adyar to Nandanam ...!! mAmAs and mAmis there
wish you all the very best and tell you to enjoy your stay in US! Some of
them want you to come back but most of them don't want you to come back, for
their son/daughter is also in the US and that the US is a much better place
to live in !! It goes without saying that most of these visits are
completed with a namskAram !!
When you get back home after the day's dose of namaskArams and advices
pAtti asks "EndA, visAla chithhi Athhukku pOnaiyEy andha kunju mAmikku
namaskAram paNNinaiyO?" You reply "Oh! Yes! OrlEy irukkara ellA
kunju mAmi, panju thAhtA, pattu pAtti, kittu thAhtA ellAr kAllEyum
vizhundhAchhu !!" (In the one month before leaving for US I would have
done at least 60-70 namaskArams !!)
Finally the day arrives!! For most people it's the first flight experience!
I should say I was thoroughly thrilled to fly Singapore Airlines the first
time in my life :-) I was enjoying every second of the flight sitting at
the window seat !! Talk to the Japanese guy next to you and get a thrill out
of it ! Infact so totally thrilled that I made it a point to pay a visit to
even the restrooms at every airport ! (Madras, Singapore, Tokyo and LA :-)
Finally after the fantastic flight land at the port of entry and take the
connecting flight and land at your Univ town's airport!! Invariably somebody
picks you up and accos you for a couple of days!!
NOW STARTS LIFE IN US
Finish all intial formalities like Bank Acct, Soc Sec, Apt, Telephone etc!!
Learn to do groceries US style!!
Get used to smiling at totally unknown blondes ! Think of very enthusiastic
and innovative answers to the "Hello! How are you doing today?" of the teller
at the bank!
Look at the enormous size of kathhrikkAi, vErkadalai etc at the grocery and
give out exclamations "aiyO!! kathhrikkAi ivvLavu pErisA?".
Even the US squirrels are atleast twice the Indian squirrel's size :-)
Get used to doing most things the reverse of Indian way!
- You turn on the lights this way and not that way
- You write MM/DD/YY and not DD/MM/YY
- You say "Come ON in " and NOT "Come in"
- The key opens the door this way and NOT that way
- Road signs read "Lane Bike" and NOT "Bike Lane" !!
- ...
After a couple of months you learn quite a few things about life!
You realize that " It's all in the mind and you'll get used to it"!
You learn this when you realize that you are talking to your fellow TA
who is an "unwed mother" or
when you discover that one of the students in the class for which you are a
TA is a member of the GALA :-) [for the yet uninitiated GALA = Gay and
Lesbian Assocn. :-)
when your prof invites you to the bar for a beer session ( Now now,!! nAn romba
samathhu !! No dham! No beer !!)
when your apt neighbour tells you "I am going to the rock concert tonight!
Just to have some fun, drink beer, chase women ..."
Get used to a TV with 40 channels where every 4th word you hear is
sex :-)...
... and so on and on ...
Now after all the initial adjustments it's winter break: time to go to some
big city where your friends are and bug them !! ( I did that to my friends
at LA :-) Have massive fun, go to some of the places which till now you had
seen only in movies and mags !
And before you realize what's happening, the next semester is over and it's
time for summer break !! You have nothing worthwhile to do other than
Sitting down and Keying Such Long Articles ... :-)
All the while, needless to say, you goto ISA meetings and attend SPIC-MACAY
concerts!!
Now that's the stage I am in !! idhukku mEla kadhai theriyAdhu!! I have
been in the US for 9 months now!!
Maybe somebody who has been here longer can continue the "vetti vambu"!!!
IF U HAVE REACHED THIS FAR YOU SURELY DESERVE THE TITLE OF
"porumai thilagam"
PS: I last read this newsgroup sometime in last Oct! That time it sounded
like pro-LTTE cum brahmin bashing group! But now looks like it's shown some
perceptible change!! The Mylai memories was real good !! Good to be reading
and Posting to SCT after a very long while !!
pAkkalAm pinnEy!!

anubavangaL" as also Affable's Roorkee admission adventure :-). Thought
I'd add a piece about something Venkatesh missed - the ragging part.
Call it "Madras peNNin anubhavangaL" :-)
My experiences were similar to Venky's (can I call you that ?
Madras pAsam izhukkudhu :-) ) in a some ways, though I didn't do
namaskArams (I hate these) and didn't prepare for the JEE.
The story begins in '84, and having gone through entrance exams
and getting admission in GCT Coimbatore, the whole world seemed nice and
peaceful. I've always liked Coimbatore (had lived there before) because
of the pleasant weather and small-town atmosphere. OK, admission everything
done, I was told some horror stories about ragging by some 'aduththAthu
mAmis' with some nephews/nieces/payyans/peNs staying in college hostels,
and was strongly advised to keep off the hostel for about a week after
classes began.
Then came the day I joined the hostel. There was one more floor
being added to the Women's hostel, I was told, and they had a temporary
arrangement by which about 10 girls stayed in a 2-room unit. All
first-yr girls stayed in such units. There were just too many people,
too many mosquitoes, and no fan. And I had just finished listening to
a tale by my kannadiga roommate about how she got caught with a
couple of 2nd yr girls - she didn't know Tamil or rather, sen-Thamizh
very well, and after a few sheepish grins, was asked 'nee endha
paRppasai ubayOgikkiRAi ?' and she told me 'enakku paRppasainnAlE
ennannu theriyalayya' :-). She then rattled off a timetable as to whose
rooms we should visit and when - with some warnings about 'how to behave'
in seniors rooms. 'Don't act confident', I was told. 'Konjam bayandha
poNNave nadandhukko. Bold-a irundhEnna avvaLavudhAn - they'll never
leave you quickly'. OK, I thought to myself. If 'bayandha poNNu' was
what they wanted, that's exactly what they'll get - sort of like
McDonald's "What you want is what you get" :-) - as I had some
assignments to do and wanted to get back as fast as possible. I was
told that I should give up my style of walking with the head held high
- and should instead practise some 'appAvi' looks, 'thalai kunindha nadai',
and 'asattu sirippu'. Anyway, I didn't quite change my way of walking,
though I trained myself on the 'appAvi pArvai' (it didn't take long,
for my histrionic abilities had won me a medal in high school not very
long ago).
The ragging itself wasn't much, for the 'bayandha poNNu' act
paid off - I was the 'bayandhest poNNu' in my year :-) :-) as far as
the seniors went....Some of my other just-in roommates weren't that
fortunate. One of them, on asked to recite the alphabet in the reverse
direction - i.e, starting from 'ZYXW..' - you get the idea. She
refused point-blank to do so, and when people started getting angry
and kept repeating 'ABCD-ya thalaikeezha sollu', I whispered to her
'S, DCBA-nnu konjam sollippArEn...Sirichchu vittAlum vidalAm'. But
that backfired and she was made to spend the night in a room full of
hostile seniors (poor S). Anyway, these 'bayandha poNNu' acts went on
- I obediently did what I was told like saying 'good morning' to every
senior I met in the hostel mess. My roommates had varying experiences,
like for instance, they had this 'rail vidum' game in which they had
to stand in a single file pretending to be coaches of a train, each
one holding on to her predecessor's dress. The first person was
supposed to be the engine, shouting 'Coo'. It was hilarious, though
I was glad I didn't have to do such things ! For things I didn't want
to do, I gave a blank stare, and had such a mournful expression that they
let me go. I was in no mood to fight, being down as it is with an
attack of intense homesickness, trying still to get used to a lot
of new things I had to handle like managing a bank a/c etc, new
place, new people....However, there were sights which provided comic
relief from time to time, like when some of my year-mates (men) went
on a 'march' from Lawley Corner to GCT (about 0.5 Km) shouting
'Mahatma Gandhi ki Jai !'.
Things began to get irritating after a while, for we had a
very demanding Drawing instructor - I used to be awake till 3 Am,
drawing ellipses and what nots. And these interruptions were really
getting on my nerves. There was the additional stress of controlling
every impulse of mine to ask people to go to hell, for I had always
done just that whenever I was asked to do something unpleasant. Some
3 weeks passed like this, and it was then that the last batch of
students (those from waiting lists) joined. These people had escaped
most of the ragging and were not bothered most of the time. I was in
my room one evening, drawing as usual, when one such person walked in,
asking 'Is NS there ?'. NS wasn't in the room then, and under normal
circumstances, I would have just said so and taken a message. But
suddenly, some devil caught hold of me. I threw the pencil on the sheet,
crossed my legs on the table (Rajnikanth style :-) ) and said
'yarummA nee ? Senior-nA mariyAdhai kidayAdhA ? SummA vandhu ippdi
kaetkarE ?' (I couldn't believe my own ears :-) ). She just stared,
fear slowly creeping into her eyes. I continued 'enna pEru ?'.
She said 'B'. The ensuing conversation was like this...
'endha ooru ?'
'xyz' (some town)
'Senior-na good evening sollaNum, theriyummilla ?'
'Mm. Good evening !'
'Seri. pAdaththeriyumA ?'
'illa'
'Can you dance ?' (I asked this thinking I could call off the
whole show after that, for I didn't want to
scare the girl much)
'illengA. NAn handicapped...'
It was then that I noticed her leg ( all along the table was
between us and I couldn't really see her legs) - I won't comment
on that. I cursed myself for ever starting the conversation.
Every part of my head was going 'you $#% ! Now see you have hurt
this person'.... I instantly apologized, shook her hand, gently
broke the news that I was her year-mate and was just teasing her,
was about to stop the conversation anytime, didn't mean to hurt
her etc etc. Felt like a perfect fool, when, tears in her eyes,
she went back to her room. It turned out, she was staying in a
particularly irritating senior's room and I was later summoned
to 'The Presence' to apologize, which I did gracefully (my
mind was still going 'you $#% ! etc etc' ).
The news spread and a lot of seniors stared at me in the
mess and I was referred to as 'that girl' who had the audacity to
rag a yearmate. My own yearmates were horrified at what I'd
done. But I somehow didn't care - B and I were friends by then and
that was all that mattered.
We had one final ragging session, called the 'get-together'.
This was a public ragging thing, in which all the seniors ragged
all the juniors enmasse on campus. After that, all ragging was to
cease. Our clothes were scanned by some senior girls who decided
what we were to wear. There was a rule that women should wear
only saris on campus (my sari-wearing was courtesy a half-hour
crash course from mom). We weren't supposed to wear matching blouses
on that day. The hostel was a half-mile from the campus, and there
we were, walking with 'matchless grace' (pun intended), our
hair tied up with shoelaces. I wore a black printed sari with a
parrot-green blouse. We were greeted by some seniors with ink, which
we duly applied on our faces. We were led to some classrooms. One look
at the boys (men ?) in the class and I had a hard time controlling my
laughter. They had their shirts buttoned at the back, one trouser leg
folded upto the knee, ink on their faces and flowers in their ears :-).
Goodness ! It was hilarious.
Then we were asked to do ridiculous things, one by one.
A dark guy with curly hair was summoned, asked to propose to to the
fairest girl in the room - my roommmate VS - he had to bring his face
within half-a-foot of hers, and stare into her eyes while doing that. VS
was from a nearby village and spoke sweet kovaiththamizh. She later
told me 'ennavO kaRukaRunnu therinjudhu. AvvaLavuthAn'. All the while,
she had a blank stare on her face. Two girls were asked to enact a
fish-market scene - one was supposed to be the buyer and the other a
seller of fish (who 'koovified' while selling) - the buyer was unfortunately
a vegetarian with knowledge of seafood that was at best, pathetic :-).
My turn came, and there was this guy with a chalk-piece, who summoned me
to the board, asking me to prove '1=2'. I gave a proof by contradiction
which went something like 'If 1 did not equal 2, then...' - I confused
the guy so much, he finally let me go. So many such ridiculous things...
On the whole, it was fun. As days passed, we got to know our seniors, and
many of them turned out to be nice people.
There were no more such 'get-togethers' in the subsequent years,
and we got to know our juniors in our own way, plus or minus the ragging.
But the get-together, to me was the most hilarious part of the whole
ragging exercise...Anyway, let me come back to earth...

Vandana Venkatesan
That was a good piece of writing, made very interesting reading.
12 th standard gnabagam ellam thirumbiyum vandhudhu... yes, brilliant
tutorials, interschool culturals, thrill of getting a state rank,
going to Anna Univ for giving the entrance and hoping u will
make it there too....
I don't think I know u personally, but have seen u on campus with
Amrita (sathyama galata pannalai!)
Subbu D's 'Besant Nagar days' also brought back Guindy memories.
Keep posting such interesting stuff.
But you have missed one important detail..the trips to Adyar Student
Xerox in the final year, I feel I literally spent half of my final
BE year in that place. First for the transcripts, *r...s*, SOP,
covering letter, etc.. and then for the project report....illa??
Best Wishes,
Vandana.

This somehow (though unrelated) reminds me of the kumudham's arasu

arasu and everytime arasu dodges the issue (pretty craftfully too).
Semester end = return to newgroups :-).

["Madras peNNin anubhavangaL" :-) deleted to save b/w]
Thanks GK, for rekindling more of my college memories.
Some more trivia:
Compared to male-male, ragging, female-female ragging is nothing. :-)
[Now, feminists, don't spring upon me. I know how to dodge :-) ]
It's more fun to watch male-female ragging [usually in the classroom]
Two incidents come to my mind readily. Needless to say, the attractive
girls were given special attention by the seniors.
In my class, in AU, there were some fifteen girls in the first year.
[ which was reduced to nine as the other six girls transferred to other
branches, from our discipline, Civil and structures] They were sitting
in four benches. Fifth bench was empty. Three seniors sat in that
bench and started to tease the girls verbally.
One of the guys, suddenly, pulled one of the girl's braid and this caused
the girl to turn back and stare at him squarely. That guy, least bothered,
mimicked the complan ad that used to come in TV, said "I'm a complan boy"
and this made the whole class ,including that girl, burst into laughter.
One of the girl's name is Vasanthasena. When one senior heard that name
from her, immediately told (T. Rajendar paaniyil),
"inku vanthirupathu enna maanaa?" etc including the word
thEnaa and ended with vasanthasena. [ I don't remember exactly the wordings.]
One thing you've to admire is the seniors' creativity in ragging.
Ragging is sort of "maamiyaar-marumakaL saNdai" type. :-) Never ending.
We ragged our juniors saying we were ragged more than their ragging
and justified our acts.
In female-female raaging, the important thing missing is they don't
buy dinner/etcetera for the juniors, I heard. [The girls are known for
thriftiness.Ain't they? ;-) ]
A side note: How I miss that pleasant hobby "kadalai vaRuththal"

Not content with that, some of us decided to *also* do Agrawals. :-) The
great thing abt Agru's is that the questions come in neat booklets which
believe it or not, *make* you want to solve the problems. Ya, major
muggo in those days. :-) Luckily I was in Vidya Mandir. School was from
7:00 to 12:35. So from school, go to the ice-cream kadai, treat some
10th class girls ;-), and then come home for grub. Sleep for 1 hr. and
then start doing Das class homework. Anybody out there do Das class?
Maths tuition for JEE? Crazy stuff. His class would be subject matter
for hajjar jokes in school. Imitations and what not!

Some of us cannot do anything "useful". So even though they didnot need
it, they still attended Das's class. Yes I am talking about my self.
At that time SL guys had quota system to IIT and we were not allowed
to do the entrance ( I think they have chaned the rules now). But
I was(am ?) madly in love maths ( "!!!!). So I attended his classes.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*with a roll of the eyes* Hmmm. :-)
>done, I was told some horror stories about ragging by some 'aduththAthu
Ragging brought back some pleasant and some unpleasant memories...
Ragging in BITS was by and large OK... But for the bhOla-baaLa types
{that is what I used to think of myself then; now I have redefined
bhOla-baalaa so that I can still think of myself as one :-)} it sure
was as much a learning experience as it was a rude jolt. Seniors have
a way of snuffling freshie egos that even the 'high and mighty' learn
'humility', 'deference' etc.
Raggers came in all shapes and sizes; Big, tiny, fat, skinny, neta-types
non-neta types etc etc.. There were 'intellectual' raggers who would
'tease' you with all those tricky questions about 'Calculus', ask you to
solve 'puzzles', solicit your views on the pathetic state of the Indian
economy ..... There were 'political' raggers who would ask you a 1000
questions about Indian politics and then ask you for finer details about
local politics. Questions could be anything from "Did some hanky-panky
really happen between MGR and Jayalalitha *wink!*...." to "Why does
Karunanidhi hate Hindi.....". "Do the people of Tamil Nadu support
LTTE...?" To all those questions you are supposed to give 'acceptable'
answers. If you said something like "No, No! Jayalalitha and MGR are
just political allies. Nothing Nehru-Edwinaish at all about their
relationship!" you had it.... Instead, you play along and say "Did you
know this... Can you believe this... MGR's virility is legendary...
He gobbles Thanga Basmam........ and the punchline....He loves all Hindi
speaking people". You are then rewarded with Osi textbooks, tips on
courses to register, professors to avoid etc. after that.
Then there were the waat-yaaar? waer-are-you-from-yaar? blah-blah-blah
raggers who just turn you off. [They were worse than some of our college
professors!]
There were some pOdi paiyyalgal who ragged you like mad. Go and get this
done... Go to the connaught place and get me these weird items... All 1
can do is aquiesce to his demands and mumble some swear words to oneself
[You little rat.. Ragging mudiyattum... You will get scant respect from
me! Molachchi moonu adi kooda valarala 'ragging aa kekkudhu onakku ??]
And then there were the 'interesting' ones. These were 'fun' to be with !
You would be asked to speak for 3 minutes on "Homosexuality in Indian
cockroaches and its after-effects on food production in Siberia"
"Gandhi's love affair with Queen Elizabeth and Jinnah's jealousy that
lead to partition" , "Silukku Smitha and illiteracy" ........ You will
be in splits watching other freshers discuss all these, despo-ly trying
to dodge all the 'stupid' questions that the seniors shoot at them. When
your own turn comes, you will realize that it is mighty hard to discuss
convincingly :-) your views on 'nonsense topics' Then, the entire group
is asked to do all sorts of monkey-tricks. [Sing "Jana Gana mana.. but
insert "Balls to me!" after every three words...] Finally, when the
seniors were convinced that all freshers had made asses of themselves
enuff, they were set free.
I can recall two incidents here. I was playing tennis and these Tamil
seniors came up and asked me to unwind the net and dress myself madisaar
style [or its closest version] in that.... Boy, did those guys have a
laugh that day !
Then there was this other occasion when I was in tears.... I was shown a
Filmfare picture of Mandakini [from "Ram Teri ganga Maili"] and asked to
kiss Mandakini. Holy Heavens! I mean, I had secretly lusted after many
a film heroine, but kissing a oomphy-oomphy nubile thing with *so many*
guys watching you *kiss* was something I considered sacrilegious then :-)
["Afterall, this is not the flesh and blood Mandakini; ammaa/appa ain't
never going to know ..." was little consolation for my seedhaa-saadhaa
nature ;-)] Much too reluctantly and after the choicest of abuses were
heaped on me, I took the picture and without puckering my lips *grin*
er, ..... *blush*.... kissed the picture and then tears trickled down my
cheeks... Looking back, I feel like telling myself "Boy, Did I make a
mountain out of a mole hill !" Have come a long way from there ... :-)
cheers,

IITM was harmless. If you didn't want to be ragged by somebody outside
your hostel you could very well tell them to F... O.. . But within the
hostel it was better to get ragged as they wouldn't do anything much and
even then it was a great way to break the ice.

Mine was " How did Gabriela Sabatini losing her virginity help you get
into IIT" ;-) I was able to come up with a half decent explanation. :-)
The homo cockroaches is an old one. We also had Homo cockroaches and the

Yo SSD!
Don't worry, most of the Indians are in the same boat. [Oh boy! the
boat must be quite large :-) ]Well, you can think of the positive side.
[1]Your "freak out" desire made you to reach the higher echelons in
academics. [Blessing in disguise]

That reminds me !!
Does anyone know the answer to that famous "Physics Ragging Question"?
The one that says
There are two steel rings, one smaller one larger. When you place them in a
concentric fashion the distance between their centers = 0.
By the inverse square law of gravitaion the force of attraction between them
must be infinity and they both should collapse into one another !
Explain why it doesn't happen!!

Simple !!!
When the force of attraction between two bodies is infinity
the centers of the two bodies merge,
the bodies themselves need not collapse.

I'm really having a tuff time trying to read thru tamil articles written
in English. I shud confess, I was never good at reading tamil written in
tamil script, and this is even more confusing...
Could some kind soul post a crash-course over the net of how to 'read'
and 'write' tamil written in english, please?

Tell me about it! Once a prof while calling attendance "mispronounced"
my name. ;-) Guys had too much control to laugh in class. But nobody
gave me that nickname. With *my* name its even more obvious. ;-)

It has been a long time since I passed out, so my vocabulary is
slightly rusty, but here goes...
The approximation of a steel ring to an equivalent point mass at the center is
valid only when you consider interactions with other bodies
at a distance much larger than radius of the ring.
To compute the forces in this problem, you have to use
gravitational fields, grav. potential and such.
Much like electrostatic fields, charged spherical shell problems
etc. etc.
I think I am going to be sick (Reminds me of Swamy, may he r.i.p)

Hey, I attended Das class too and he would always call out the girls names
. In fact he would pronounce my name with great difficulty which would tickle
all my friends. Those days sure were fun. Going home late in the night....
I lived inside the IIT campus and had to walk home ( my sister had "ammikified"
the only cycle at home) and I had to beg my friends to give me a "doubles"
ride home.
CV, let me tell you again- your vetti!... was really good. Wish others would
post similar stuff instead of squabbling and calling each other names.
The Mylai memories and Besant Nagar days were good too. I lived in Adyar
and both BesantNagar and Mylapore are close enough to be called home. So
thanks for reviving all those memories.

I thought there was no squabbling and calling each other names for
the past week. Did I miss this part? ;-)

I guess you were not in my Das class then because I remember that the
2 girls who used to attend use to sit in the front bench (Do girls ever
sit in the back benches in co-ed classes?) and our man's eyes would
flicker over to them as he marked them present. That way their names
were a major mystery to us! Dunno maybe he thought he was keeping us
wolves from them. :-) Clearly he believed the guys in your class to be
"samatthu paiyans". :-)

"I used to despise the net because there were sooooo many anti-Brahmin,
pro-LTTE postings and ran away at one point of time to save myself of

get away with it..."
