Bloggifying after a long time

During July our Fall 2006 batch guys had a great get together party month. i.e. throughout the month we kept on meeting and having get togethers. We had a lot of fun. By the end of Summer Semester all our batchmates left for getting a job. (Check out my Fall 06 Batch gettogether Blog)
Studies and Workout:

On July 28th, I went to work and worked out in the gym according my scheduled workout time and worked on my ADO.net project.
On July 29th, I didn't go to work coz I had to finish my project. I sat till 2:20 pm and finished the projects with some doubts which I clarified with classmates and submitted still having some errors in the project. As the professor gave students some more time till end of class I sat and finished it there.
On July 30th, I went work earlier than I was supposed to come in and went to class after finishing work. Submitted the Final project and then went to Bobby's to eat Ice Cream after a week of wait and postponement.

The Last Trip with Jay:

Jay wanted to see the great things of St Louis which we haven't seen so we chose a Saturday before he left Edwardsville for good and selected a few hot spots to check out, like the Anheuser Busch Beer factory, Art Museum, Botanical garden, Farmer's market and some other places. We had a great day roaming the St Louis downtown area too, listening to music and walking all the way.
Then soon Chetan, Jay and Sandeep left Edwardsville one after the other on different days. We had a great time hanging out together. We wished that we should have hung out like this during the past few years too.

Outing with Raju to Pere Marquette:

We had a get together with Raju the day before he left to India in his own style. Me, Sai, Shruthi, Hara and Raju who were left in edwardsvillle from our batch went to Pere Marquette State park in the eveninig and then while driving back from the park along the beautiful river bank we stopped at a restaurant which we never observed before and checked it out. It was called Fin Inn. It was a great looking restaurant with aquarium around the table having a variety of fishes which they serve and have it in the river. I and Hara had french fries and breadsticks while the others enjoyed various fish items which was cheap and good. After such a great get together the next day Raju left with some of my stuff which I gave to him to take it to India and the in a few days Shruthi left.
Now only Me, Sai and Hara were left and we enjoyed the school to the fullest by going to the cougar lake boating with some new friends and then one day Hara came and told that he is leaving today and flew away, very short notice. I didnt even realize that he was leaving edwardsville or leaving to some place for fun. Now only me and Sai are left in Edwardsville.

Outing with Abhay before he left:

I saw Wall-E, Wanted and some other great movies during the summer break. It was an amazing summer with my friends. After all my batchmates were gone. One day Me, Tenzing, Granil and Abhay went to the Indian Temple and then to the Zoo park after 2 years. We all had a great time at the zoo.

The entry of new kids into Edwardsville:

Soon we were about to enter a new semester, so a lot of new kids flew in from India. One of the kids brought 2 pairs of eye glasses from India through my Mom. She selected exactly the model of eyeglasses which I never wanted to have! But everyone said I looked very sharp in those glasses so I was ok with the new ones. Plus I had no other option as my other glasses which I had were already broken.
That guy and other 3 guys came in to Sai’s room as Jay left. Anna as usual got them and started the ragging session. Those 4 guys got the same kind of welcome from his as we all got. 1 of them moved to a different area to live and 2 of them filled 2 vacancies at Sai’s house. And the 4th guy was just a bakra to Anna’s ragging from some other apartment.
In my room I needed 1 new guy after Sachin, Purushottam and Abhay left, but the guys who picked up the new students from airport dropped TWO new guys in my house and asked us to provide shelter to them until a permanent house is found for them. So we got along very well in the 1 month we were together. When Anna finally after 6 years, decided to move out from Edwardsville one of the two new guys moved to Sai’s house and everyone was happy.
I have been very famous among the new kids because everyone knew me even before I introduced myself to them. When i said my name was Ranjeesh some people would go “ Ohh! you are Ranjeesh, The pendrive man”. Thats because I used to have a pen drive hanging on my neck all the time showing off that I am a tech guy. I have a great time with all the juniors. Its just my nature that I mingle with everybody no matter what their age is. I think its because I dont have a big ego problem like others do and I donot usually take any comment to heart (Most of the times). Overall I am good with everyone.

Sai’s New Car":

Sai’s car (Nissan Altima) met with an accident because of some old lady’s reckless driving on the highway and he had to pay the price coz he hit that lady’s car from the behind and here in the US the fault is always of the person who hits from behind. Sai’s car insurance paid off all the damages for the old lady’s car But he had to TRASH his car in the junkyard for $350 because it was repairable.
We had some good memorable trips on Sai’s old car and we remember those trips a lot and within that week he bought a better car (Dodge Neon) for even cheaper ($1800 vs $3000). Srinivas anna said that Sai is very great coz he bought a new car within one week of the accident and no one usually does that so confidently. Hats Off!

Lots of Gift getting @ Work:

At Work, as I was the employee of the month again, I went and collected my $10 gift card and saved it for future to buy a gift for somebody someday from the University Bookstore.
Again took the $10 gift card for employee of the month and got accumulated 13 points for good workmanship. If I collect 15 points I can exchange it for a Free movie ticket.
