Footboard Travelling

 Today , I was not at all interested in going to coll  to attend a seminar in the morning- compulsorily (thats what our class rep told us) .Usually we dont have class by that time on wednesday's , I go to coll only by 1 pm .Only the other elective students come to college by morning . Who in the world will go to coll only for a seminar thats not related to you in anyway !!! But the rain saved most of us from the blade .It was heavily raining when i was in the bus .I saw so many school children , probably 6th to 8 th level , travelling in the footboard , even if there were space inside .When i got the info the the classes for that day has been cancelled , i got down by valluvar kottam and was waiting for a bus to home .It was then , i happened to listen to this conversation ;

Boy 1 : Machan vaada , indha bus la poyidalaam , gaaliya irruku .
Boy 2 : Dei poda , kootama edavadhu varattum
Boy 2 : Hey va va , indha deluxe bus la pogalaam (it was fully packed)
Boy 1 : Dei adhula doora close panniduvaanga da
Boy 2 : Adhanala enna ! door kambila thongikittu pogalaam...seekiram va .
(The coversation was abt two school guys waiting for a fully packed bus , to travel by footboard )


My jaws dropped !!! I would dare not do it  . I do accept that i dont have the talent to board the bus when its running and to travel by footboard . I definitely dont have the guts for that .May be its like , I dont want to risk my life for these petty pleasures .


Then , i started to wonder ,  as to what makes these guys to travel this way . Heard opinion from some of my friends about  footboard travelling and here is what i got :

  • Adhu evalo gethu theriyuma . They consider it as a way of showing their guts and heroism .
  • To get free air , even if the bus is crowded .
  • To enjoy the view, standing there .
  • Its just for jolly .
  • I dont know about that , but im really amazed about their sync in tapping the bus (front and back) and their continuous whistiling . I wonder if i can whistle for that long . Thats truly a talent .
  • Its enjoyment , one should definitely experience that .
  • Stupid fellows ! Risking life for nothing .
  • Why do the police leave these guys , there should be some strict punishment to maintain discipline .
  • They just want to do what their hero does - movie stars .
  • It depends on their area or ambience , where they grow .


Hmmm. Anyway though its a great talent that one cant acquire easily , Im still intrigued by the fact that they would readily risk life for this . So many rules , so many accidents , fights in buses and that too with conductor and driver especially , police's warning , Nothing seems to have any effect to stop or control them . I guess nothing can stop the youth !!!

Anyway , i believe life is more important than these pleasures .

Jeova sanctus unus

One of the world’s greatest scientists.He was an alchemist, a member of the Royal Society of London, a Rosicrucian, and he signed some of his most secretive science papers with a pseudonym — ‘Jeova Sanctus Unus’ ! which means “One True God”. He signed his name that way because, like the ancient Adepts, he understood himself as divine. In addition, because the sixteen letters in Jeova Sanctus Unus could be rearranged to spell his name in Latin, making it a perfect pseudonym. Jeova Sanctus Unus is an anagram of a famous alchemist’s name in Latin. Latin interchanges the letters J for I and the letter V for U, which means Jeova Sanctus Unus can actually be perfectly rearranged to spell this man’s name. Isaacus Neutonuus. Newton’s name had always been a recurring guidepost for those seeking secret knowledge. Great man and a brilliant one indeed!!!

He sticks his head to his notebook and comes out with doubts and questions .He very well knows that im not the one to ask questions to , so he deals all that stuff with others . Think that he m

The Tour Plan

As we are nearing our end of college life , we all wanted to go somewhere . Most of all , I wanted to . I was very eagerly looking forward to this tour . As people started planning , i became even more desperate . I just wanted to go out with a crowd , no matter where the place is . Go out and have fun – That’s what was all in my mind . People started giving suggestions and few opted out of the plan but most of’em was ready to go anywhere as long as there was a big crowd to shout , mock and enjoy :) With everyone seriously planning and most of’em giving an O.K.  to the tour , I was really glad that im finally having a day out with my friends . But my happiness didn’t last long ….   There came MR.Fate , in Partha Sir’s disguise and gave the report submission deadline as saturday , the very day we were planning for a trip . And as obvious everybody backed out and the plan came crashing down (my happiness too)…. I hope , Mr . Fate takes leave , atleast next weekend and let us h
