3 C's - Important part of my College Life

Wondering what the 3 C's are. So simple and yet played a important part in my life. Ok, here we go.

The first C
Cellphone --> I was always fascinated towards cellphone. When my friends used to talk or send a message, i just used to think on when i would lay my hands on one of my own. The first time i held a cellphone of mine (my dad's, but doesnt matter) was sometime in December, 2001 (i dont remember the exact date) at around 7 - 9 PM when i was on my way from Mumbai Airport to my home. A gentle shiver ran down my body, being the proud owner flashing all my 32 teeths. Well my craze for cellphone has never ever lowered a bit from then even by 0.000001%. Though i have always wanted to keep my mobile updated with newer models (practically not possible. I know, I know, I know), something inside me has always kept me on check to control my hunger for newer mobile's. :-):-) Well coming back on how it was useful in my college days. I got my first mobile of my own was in March
4th, 2003. Just a 3315 Nokia Model, but still was of great use to me. It helped me to pass my time. I used to send hundreds and hundreds of messages a day. I had sent nearly
50,000 messages in a period of 3 months. Dont ask me how i kept of count of all these (Thats a big story again). So you could imagine the time that i would have spent on sending the messages as i had to send the messages one by one to all my friends. And even i would wonder on the origin of so many messages. But never explored it to the core. It was real fun atleast for me...

Next in line is
Computer --> Dont take me in as an computer genious. I had used my computer mainly for 2 purposes. One for listening songs and the other for playing games. And one game which held me as an captive for my 4 years of fun, BRAIN LARA CRICKET. I would play it everyday and everytime i played it i would just think of improvising on every shot that i play. Well it sounds funny even when i think of it, but that is the truth. The same computer which i had used for playing games and listening to songs is ruling my life now making me earn my daily bread.

The last but the most important C is
Charulatha --> Simple yet effective, mistakes but can be adjusted, Arrear's Saviour. These words are enough to describe the work done by the publications Charulatha. They were the one who would publish simplified writings for the sake of students. I am talking about the help extended by them during my Semester Exams. I just cant imagine the toll it would have taken if Charulatha had not existed. Every Semester the University would release the dates of the exam and Charulatha would release their own set of books. Wow, a real boon for students like me. All the important topics would be covered and in simple language. Well can any 1 expect more than this. If one can just glance through all the topics, he just can pass his exams easily. I cleared it that way. And the most important part was i had acquired the official distribution rights for supplying the books to all my friends. I had a shop SARA BOOK Centre near my home and all my friends used to order for the books:-):-). I still remember carrying 17 books in my bag to my college one day.

Well tooooooooo short to describe my blissful period.

Introduction

Hi. I really dont know on why i was hell bent on searching for the origin of Introduction. Well it originates from a Latin word introductionem(Source - Google). Why do many start with Introduction, Well may be because they want to start with presenting themselves to others in a good manner. But one question that pops up in my mind, those who know you more, are going to read your blogs and it is rarely by chance that someone unknown to you is going to come across your blog and read it (No offences meant though). But it is always good to present yourself to someone before you start with something else. Well enough of my Mokkai. Now that i have told this much, i should really go on to tell something about myself. I am Ravishankar. And the reason why i had jumped into blogging is due to Rajagopalan R who inspired me to write and a bit of inspiration from Yagnyeshwaran H too. But kudos to Naga Saravana Perumal who really re-kindled the interest in me to write again by sending the link to his updated blog. It has been a year since i wrote my last blog. And the reason on why i am starting with my introduction again is one i didnt like the link that i gave for my blog and the other this being a new one, i have decided to start over again. Hopefully those who read my blog enjoys reading. All your comments(positive as well as negative) are most welcome as it may help me out in some way to improve my writing. Thanks in advance to all those who go through my blog patiently.

And HAPPY BLOGGING (Naa enaku sonna).
