An evening at Johns Hopkins

I was at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore on Nov 7,2010 for diwali celebrations. It has always been an excitement for me to see and visit good schools/colleges. 

I still remember whenever I go in 21G, I have never missed to glance at IIT M and CEG, Anna University in Guindy.

Thanks to my friend Jaikanth for inviting me to the function. The function had a series of dance/singing/skit but full of sothapals. I am happy they sothapalled as the original program would have been more boring. 

Everyone was given an agenda of the evening during the entry..Our guys started to stand in queue when there were two programs left for dinner. Namma aalu othan vanthu.."machi..panthikku munthu pa" nu pazhamozhi vera.

There was a dandiya dance after the dinner and I really enjoyed dancing for near 2 hours. My friend Jai's bro doing his post doctoral programme showed me the place where social networking was filmed.

Came out with a complacency that I visited one of the best schools in the world.

Karky & VM

Thanks to the walls of blogspot.com and Facebook which serves me as a scrub pad for my poetic itches.

The songs of Endhiran did not impress me much until I watched the movie. But after watching the movie I am really addicted to the songs and particularly "Irumbile Oru Irudayam".

Karky son of Vairamuthu. Karky - An Asst Prof at School of computer sciences in College of Engg, Anna University has made his father proud.

The Robot falls in love with Aishwarya and Karky is given the responsibility of expressing it. Karky has really made an impressive start..

Though it did not really make the eye brows to lose gravity like his father did in his first song, he really did make an impact of an engineer being a lyricist..

Here are some of the lines I liked.

Irumbile oru irudhayam mulaikkudho
mudhal murai kadhal azhaikkudho..

Poojjiyam ondrodu poovasam indrodu

Memory-il kumari-ai thani chirai pidithen
Shut down-ney seyyamal iravinil thudithen
Sensor ellam theya theya naalum unnai padithen
unnaley thaaney en vidhigalai maranthen

Kadhal seyyum neram motor vegam koodum
Iravil naduvil battery thaan theerum..

Here is the complete lyrics...
