Trichy after many semesters

I was on my way home after about 10 months. But as luck would have it I had to go via Trichy. All because I had put my driving licence in my wallet which got picked in a Mumbai Local. So one good reason to be back in a place where 4 years of my prime youth was spent.
I had a brief stopover at Chennai. Met with 2 of my old Rectians (even if RECT becomes an NITT, we are still Rectians), infact 2 of my fellow mallu batchmates. One who is famous for bragging to get union guys to bash up our senior batch and the other who is famous for his eating mis-habits.
Now about Trichy. Well the old Plaza is gone and in its place stands a 6 storey shopping complex. I have very fond memories of going for a pondy movie with a friend of mine in that theatre. Well I should not have believed his Tamil reading skills :(
Spotted many a 128/26 ses, the Thuvakudi buses that used to take us to REC. They are still shining in their metallic best. Pal Pannai, BHEL, Anna Valavu and finally RECT. There is this new sculpture in front of our gate which looks quite good. check it out at www.rect.edu .
There was heavy security at our place because the President was visiting campus for some reason, which I am not aware of. I took a snap which I shall upload in some days. By the way, for all you Rectians info, all the shops in front of our gate have been destroyed. Some of them have shifted to the left of the VKN gate. Sam fox still functions. The guys there look younger :)
And also in the process saw the costliest South Indian movie ever made at Sona/Mina!!!
