 For me being lonely is the time to think and let your mind gaze through the rich grasslands of life. Even when I am in a crowd, sometimes I will go thinking. I never need to be alone to feel alone. Being alone is simply something which happens to me anywhere unpredictable. When I feel like that, what I would do is to try and draw conclusions on what I have observed.
 
 Once, on such an occasion, I was trying to draw conclusions on the truth of GOD. I just tried to think how GOD can be. As He is the One capable of driving the whole universe, He will be either somewhere outside the universe at a centralized place or a distributed source. The existence of such a centralized source is something which is beyond imagination and almost impossible when we think that it is having a role in each and everything happening in the whole universe (just think of a big energy source which provides the force for our movements within the Earth and for Earth to move around the sun and so on). It led me to the conclusion that the force can be something distributed every where in the whole universe (just understand that it is a simple conclusion by a crooked mind!!! I am ready to believe otherwise if you can convince me).

 When you are a leukemia patient, the world around you changes a lot. You will find yourself befriending lot of patients and will hear a lot of amazing stories. In a world where names are irrelevant, one of those stories I heard was of her. She is of my age and till recently, used to live right next door. I heard her story in bits and pieces from narratives of her mother, sister and at times, from herself. From what I could gather, she is practically the complete opposite of who I am. Hardworking, God fearing, socially conscious and above all, highly scholarly. In my short life so far, of 25 years, most of which I spent in Kerala, I am yet to see a woman who does not fear the opinion of others. May be the world is supposed to be so and manipulators and tricksters like me are an exemption.

 

 Anyway, when I met her, she was in treatment for a relapsed ALL which took its toll on her during the final days of first year MBBS. It seems she used to complain about constant headaches and other issues now and then. However, her parents dismissed it for her compulsive addiction to studies (If I wake up everyday at 4 and study like she used to, I guess I would have been in bed sooner :)). Interestingly, she had to do blood smear (a pathology test) as a part of her practicals, with her own blood. She found blasts, but thought it was due to some mistake in the procedure. Later, after the exams, when she went to her ancestral home in north Kerala and fell sick and only then did they figure out the real culprit. Without wasting time, she availed treatment and for most of her second year at college, she was in Vellore than in Thrissur. But unlike me, she spent the time reading her textbooks and wrote exams the same year. To everyone's surprise, she came second in her class. It is quite difficult to get your head straight and think normally while in chemotherapy let alone studying for exams, that too for MBBS second year.

 She once said that seeing lot of successful BMT patients during OP was comforting. Likewise for me, it was comforting to see, befriend and have some wonderful time as well, with someone of my own age and superior scholarly attitude next door. To crown it, seeing her successfully go through the BMT and the difficulties soon after was really helping my confidence too.

 

 Interestingly, meeting her first time made me write. I wrote a small monograph on the social relevance of hair for women and the untold laws governing how one should grow their own hair. I must say  that the spark in her eyes, when she showed her picture with hair made me write it.

 This is an account of a mob in a well known self financing Engineering college, from the words of students of the college. It is from MES College of engineering, and most newspaper reports are not taking into account what the root cause of the problem is. I just tried to interact with some of my juniors there and got these details. This account is written on the basis of a chat conversation, which is published here. Some details I confirmed and crosschecked, basically those regarding the program at the auditorium and all. I just want to point out how a ordinary gang or group fight at college turned out to be a political (?) issue. I never call this as student politics, but student gang war.
 
 There are more than enough issues at college, and without fighting for those, these student politicians (?) are fighting for head counts. I don’t know what leads these students. Anyway, I believe it is not the professionalism that all are expecting from young engineers.

 I hope all are familiar with the above words. After all those Shining India mutual fund advertisements, a warning like this is mandatory. I felt the same regarding the offer documents supplied at campus placements after reading a news in economic times about the act of Keane India on last Monday. A small account of it can be read over here\footnote{\url{http://www.itexaminer.com/Outsourcing/tabid/77/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/794/Keane-chops-400-staff.aspx}}.
 
 I can imagine a little about what was there within the minds of those people who got sacked. I believe all of them were people who got placements through campuses (since Keane takes 80\% of their workforce from campus and it is not easy to send one with prior experience). All the offer documents I got (not many anyway. Only two) had one section called "Job Termination". There was a notice period specified before terminating the job. It usually varies according to your value and employers value. For me those values were in months.
