Where are we(world) heading to?

Leonardo Da Vinci, the Renaissance Man - a Personality I Most Admire

For long time now, I have wanted to write on this personality. The film “The Da Vinci Code” directed me to learn/know more on Da Vinci. And as usual Wiki served its purpose :)

Leonardo Da Vinci - a Scientist, Mathematician, Inventor and Architect. His contribution to world is so great that you can’t even imagine for such a personality in 1400s.

Unknowns on Da Vinci

• He had made many artistic presentations and manuscripts on human anatomy.
• Most of his paintings were incomplete.
• He is a vegetarian and loves animal
• He is well trained in mirror scripting (to write backwards which can be deciphered through mirror). Most of his treatises were written with mirror scripting.
• He had a sketch on flying machine, which was never created. People believe that modern day helicopter was inspired by his design.
• his painting ‘Last Supper’ has met with so many controversies
• he was working as apprentice in Andrea del Verrocchio’s workshop
• his technical treatises on painting introduced new perspective on paintings

I best like his saying “Though I may not, like them, be able to quote other authors, I shall rely on that which is much greater and more worthy:--on experience, the mistress of their Masters.”

"Leonardo da Vinci was like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep" - Sigmund Freud

True :)

Thiagarajar College of Arts - Memories Back !

Way, way, way back :) in 1999, I stepped into college - Thiagarajar College of Arts, Madurai, where I did my Bachelors in Computer Science. As my elder brother KB too had done his graduation there I had no worries of ragging. I was introduced to my seniors through KB, from there I had good comfort feel that I can approach them for any problem.

Here goes all my memories which I still remember and cherish!

• The tricks and moves we did to postpone a Math test


• 2000 New Year celebration with small cake cutting ceremony


• The day we were caught up by HOD for playing a game in class room.


• The day when I was appreciated by a professor for my logical thinking in programming


• The day when I was very late to enter the class (bcoz of rain, nambungaa…) and HOD was saying “ivlo nearm kalichu edhukku college ku varanum”


• The day we went for a one day tour to Kodaikannal


• Welcome Party celebration when we had been to watch a film and walked off in the mid due to problems with guys in theatre


• The three days tour to Bangalore & Mysore - sariyana Galatta tour adhu. People next to our room complained to our professor for all the noise we made in nights :)..


• Pongal celebration - college-ae kala kattum appo… guys will be in their Dhotties and gals in Sarees.. so colourful..

Extra bites:

->All the plans made to go to theatre - the instant calls made to parents to inform them on our film plans..

->same-same-sweet games.. - getting sweets from gals/guys if he/she wears same color dress as of mine, I treasure those chocolate wrappers still :)

->Getting a single set of parotta in canteen - keeping it in middle of the table for all the gals to put their hands..
