1.Six beautiful months of my lyf........


Genesis of this thought to explore some other part on the Globe started in March 2007. My Inquisitiveness and venturesome nature were obsessing me to the core. One precious gift given to all of us by two stanford graduates to satiate such kind of obsessed inquiries is the most widely used web search Engine "Google". I started googling for different opportunities in Europe and USA for my final semester Project work which should be done during DEC07 to MAY08. Then i stepped into my International Relations Office. I came to know that there are plentiful of universities in Europe signed MOUs with my university. At very next moment, i was just going through the websites of those universities and dreaming myself there. It is definitely fantasy for anyone who brought up in a hinterland in southern India to dream about his stay in a foreign country.
Things were not going that fast on my side. Everyone else in my dept almost started their projects. I am still waiting for my offer to come. All of a sudden, one day, My friend Tanish and me got a confirmation from Prof. Mark from the university UTC in compiegne, 85 kms from Paris.
Its awesome, isn't it...? Paris.....? Only thing i know about Paris is Eiffel Tower.. I saw it first time in a southern Indian movie called "Jeans". I swear until an year before i am going to France, i dont know that Paris is capital of France.. I got caught red handedly in front of my frns one day when we were discussing something.. I suddenly asked how far is paris from France...? You got me right...? But i am very happy that I got a  chance to know about this thing atleast before i complete my 21 years.. You see, such an optimist I am.....!!!!
I got my visa on dec 26 2007 and booked my ticket from Chennai to paris for dec29 night. I planned my New year infront of Eiffel Tower with two other friends of mine Kashik, sankar.. We call them KK and Challa.. 
We are almost 25 guys in V in VIT.. V stands for VULTURES. Our address is 13D AndalNagar, Katpadi, Vellore. Our properties includes 10 byks, 3 rented homes. We named them as 13D, pink house and Green house. We never propogated our brand name publicly. But inside all of us, we do have a feel of V. we always had unlimited fun. By the time, it was december, our night boose parties were slowly getting emotional. Because, we were about to finish our lease contract of 13D by december 2007. Everyone started realising that it is almost end of the HAPPY DAYS of our lyf. Some of us were almost shedding tears at the end of those boose parties. Our boose parties starts with a circle of people sitting up on the terrace in the open air, it starts with drinks,snacks and good back ground music from one of our lappys.. First hour it will be like mocking some one and having fun.. Then everyone slowly starts dancing and obviously the end will come when someone starts puking.. The headcount in this parties were never less than 15. The reason why i am mentioning this is, I almost encouraged everyone to go abroad for the project work. Atlast we were four ppl ended in europe.. Thats kk,challa, and me in France. The fourth one ended in Slovenia. He is conspicuous, elegant, brainee, even supposed to be most affluent among us, I guess. We call him Kills. He came to slovenia, which is next to Austria with other closest friend of us named Rahul.
