Those streets never forgotten
The doors never closed
The entrance always welcoming
Come 3:30 you would see
Crowd and crowds of children
Lil ones, bigger ones
Thinner ones, fatter ones
All running helter skelter
Here and there
Far and low
To reach back home
In bus or own

Countless number of days
We have cycled through those gates
We ate and shared lunch
Under that tree
We have put ID card
On the litter free zone plukcard
And made it ‘free litter zone’

Countless number of days
We have prayed to the pillayar
To make the question paper easy
We have stood in
The scorching sun
The rain
And sang ‘gajanam’
And mass drill on some Mondays

Countless number of days
We have practiced for March past
Spent loitering in the corridors
During the special zero periods
Rushed to school at 7:30 for special classes

Countless number of days
We have spent planning for mass bunking
We have got caught for not wearing two plaits
We have fought in the canteen
to get hold of a plate of dosa sambar or pongal

School
Never will those days come back
Being there for the alumni meet
We felt a sense of loss
We missed the campus
The trees
The pillayar
The hut
The lake
The swimming pool
The black boards
The chalk and duster
The benches with graffiti
The 30 minutes lunch breaks
10 minutes of break and meditation each
Waiting for the sound of the bell
Awww……
It never compensates
Nothing can come near those precious days
Spent in CV
A home away from home
Miss you CV



Those are pictures taken on the alumni meet on 1st July 2007
Miss school like anything !

Driving people insane as always

Dvijavanthi!!!!
What can I say about her?
The to be birthday gal in 21 days
Gosh!! Dvija you are turning 20!!!! Can u believe it….oops….it isn’t manners to reveal the age of on gorgeous lady like u (!!!!....gorgeous…note that point loosie!!)…so what shall I do now?....I revealed it…now there is no turning back! Sorry buddy…let the world know you are a 20 year old…what did I say?…yeah, gorgeous lady in here…little do they know that you are still a 2 year old…and god just made us all add a 0 to the 2!!!....

So here I have a blog for you buddy!....the crazy one…though I am the zany one!...what can I reveal to the world about you, my dear? Should I be nice….or….you know embarrass you to the core? Well I guess a lil bit of the former and a large portion of the later will describe the apt you!

Dvija or DJ as she prefers to be called now….is a crackpot! (What do you expect from a close buddy of mine people?!) She spins along with the world. She is very punctual to wherever she has to go. If you tell her- be there at 8:00…she will perfectly come at 9:00! And give you a hoard of excuses. I can count on my fingers the no. of prayer sessions she has attended in school. Coz she was constantly late and will by twist and turn get into the class without anybody noticing her absence in the prayer! I share many a memory with her. We have toured more of the first floor in our school than the ground floor where our class is spying for you know who. Before I got to know her, I remember her as the same person, who like me used to come to the canteen at 12:40 that is when the bell signals that lunch hour is over!

Well I must tell you the level of our wave lengths….they just differ for both of us by .5 frequencies...we both have very similar tastes…which I still wonder! Well maybe all cancerians are like that! She is a very good dancer. I have attended all her dance programs. I can never miss them….err….believe me people. I attend all these programs….okai…okai…fine… I give in. I have seen her dance only in our annual day, and couldn’t make it to the other programs. But people have told me, she is real good…or else who will cry if she doesn’t get one step right, even when the audience couldn’t make it!

When I asked her college friends about her. They said, she is sweet, cute, (what did you pay them to say this Dvija!), and talkative and would not stop till she has made her point (well I agree with that!). And her favorite words are ‘shut up’ and ‘whatever’. And ‘loosie’ too….lolz…that’s how we both have been calling each other for a long time. Our conversation usually starts like this.
She or me: hi loosie
Me or she: sollu loosie!
Guffaw!

And now I remember she is a sleeping beauty. According to what deepthi said in her testimonial to her. Her favorite past time is to sleep, sleep and more sleep! And well she is adorable (hmmm…..aint I flattering you too much dear?) and real down to earth. Yes deepthi I agree with you, she is under the ground only…lolz…and Dvija, deepthi also mentioned you are very good at solving problems!!(*thinking deeply* is it you, who solves problems or creates them?!!)
(Courtesy: deepthi’s testimonial)

Dvija has the annoying habit of hitting her stomach!!(lolz…I am luving this part of embarrassing you sweety!!) And of course she is very caring and will bring you papayas if you aren’t feeling well. How could I forget those big lunch boxes she used to bring to school? I ate 80% of the stuffed rotis her mom made for the break period. And those vadas and kesaris she used to bring on special occasions….slurp…I am getting hungry just thinking of it…missing it all man!!
She is real caring and real freako! And short tempered (are u?? I wonder?)
(Courtesy: maggie’s testimonial)

She is born with a coconut head and an extra large bum (guffaw!!) and is a female jug head. I remember the time she told me, that she gulped down one entire loaf of bread! And I place a request here to god to give the Mr. right, whom she is gonna end up with, loads of energy, coz she is bound to drain him very quickly (*wink*) she gives you lectures too and that too boring ones…so don’t you ever go to her for life saving advices (lol)
(Courtesy: shravanthi’s testimonial)


She is a dork head to me. I don’t know where all that spice and flavor in my life would have gone, If it weren’t for her and abby. We three spent the best of our lives together. The last 4 years of school. Being the same bench mates for 2 years. We have fooled one a many that we were very good students in class, much to the envy of our class mates, coz they knew the real us! I always used to amuse myself thinking wat god thought when he created us. Well did he think the world needed a pair of crazy clowns? I always used to find Dvija’s thoughts to my problems or of others as nonsensical! No one can get weirder than her at those times (maybe except me *wink*wink*) and one can never get senti around her. She is just not the senti type. And I for one celebrate my friendship with abby and her with an emotional line that is invisible.

Before we got to know the real her. We thought she was this silent kid. But now we can’t think anything about her except her constant jabbering mouth. Her glasses, braces, cycle with that trademark cap of hers and her hair dos- it is so hard to forget all these. And of course how could I forget that relationship she shared with a particular leech!!....yikes….only she can do that!
(Courtesy: abby’s testimonial)

She is a cute, lil, adorable doggy which always bites and scratches ppl whenever possible...oh yeah she does it...just when u are thinking " oh my god ,what a sweet gal", she would turn into this unmanageable monster and try to attack u in ever possible way...so ppl beware of her..;-)....she is reckless too the core in the sense she might even leave her slippers at her friend’s place and walk all the way home, not realizing it until she reaches her place....yeah thats dj..my darling...I guess she has sum kinda amnesia....or sumthing...sob sob...in spite of all this... she is my BESTTT FRIEND....my sweetie pie..and my baby boooo..first when I met her, I was thinking ..." what a calm and composed gal "...little did I know at that time...if u can entertain her the whole day without she getting bored ,then it means u deserve a NOBLE PRIZE for it...she can never do a particular activity for more than few hours...oops few mins.. But of course she would get a NOBLE PRIZE for seeing T.V. and sleeping. And she is horrible in lying...I mean u can literally see her blushing...And turning all pink and fumbling with words...oh my god she looks so cute ...I mean how many any of us ...can look like a white bunny rabbit turning all pink...;-)..You can often see a red vein popping out of her head..it pops out at all unwanted places...it would be jumping up like crazy that often her friend ramya has to use a hammer to put it back in its place..Phew...I know a lot of work involved... ok now tuning into a more serious mode. I can very well say that...dj has always been an awesome friend ( she never says such things abt me :-(...)she has always been there for everyone...whether it is to console when we are too depressed or asking us to tune it down when we get too enthusiastic.. lolz...always advices us on things like ( its ok ramz...go on a date ..Nothing wrong. Its time to enjoy) (*.hehe*) and believe me when I say, her advice can be very misleading at time...Lolz...she would genuinely criticize and appreciate people...she is awesome at arguing about something that she herself knows has no point. And when she is at a loss if words. She always fills it up by saying “whatever",” get lost"... if u can get catch her through her mobile phone...Or if u get a reply for ur SMS, you should consider urself very lucky and gifted, coz half the time, her cell would be each switched off, or no balance, or no charge. She can be loving and sweet, and irritating and argggg all at the same time...That u would feel like kissing and hugging her and the next moment banging her head with a huge rock...lolz....whatever plus and minus she has, however crazy and mad she might get…however stupid and arrogant she gets (I am going to be beaten up badly for all this later)..I would always say that “SHE IS MY SWEET HEART ...AND THAT I CAN NEVER FIND SUMONE LIKE HER.LOVE U LOADS...UMAHH!
(Courtesy: ramz testimonial….it was too good…that I just copied and pasted it here *wink*and I can totally rely the above to her entire friend list…we can never find someone like her!)

And definitely you are worth to get a noble prize if you get a reply from her in her cell. Coz her dad would have taken the charger for the phone, and she ends up with no charge for 2 to 3 days. Her balance is no more. And if you call the landline, her mom would say she left the cell at home. So I can conclude her cell will lie in her home when it is properly working, and will lie again in her home when it is not working….(*Big wide Grin*)


I can write pages and pages about this insane lil, crazy friend of mine. But right now I need to clear my thoughts and find if I myself am in a sane or insane state! And all that is said above may be true and fictional. Truth are those where I mention she has a coconut head, freako….etc….fiction is where I say she is cute, adorable and most importantly gorgeous!! (*Lolz**bigger grin**wink**wink*)

And hear my dear Dvija….the song is just for you and the child in all of us that hasn’t changed a bit!…and the lyrics does apply a little to you too…

DevathaiVamsam(2)....

I also dedicate the song to all my best friends and Dvija’s best friends
And here is the scale of craziness rate for her from her friends
Deepthi gave u 11 0n 10
shravanthi 10 on 10
Alice 8.5 on 10
ramya 8 on 10
sanju 9 on 10
me..... 50 on 10....and i get 50% share in it..
Maggie gives u a full 10 on 10 for the endurance of ur craziness
Abby also gives a 50 on 10!!

So here I go
HAPPY BURTH BURTH BURTHDAY TO U
HAPPY BURTH BURTH BURTHDAY TO U
HAPPY BURTH BURTH BURTHDAY TO U MY DEAR LOOSIE
MY DEAR DOGGIE
MY DEAR PIG
HAPPY BURTH BURTH 20TH BURTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!

Driving people insane as always

Have you ever been got caught in a situation that has made you accelerate between peals of laughter, anxiety and fear?
Have you ever done something wrong and have been caught red handed?
In this post I am going to explore some of those funny and hilarious moments that happened in my life. And maybe that will involve revealing many secrets and getting my friends on the candid camera. I would like to say at the beginning of the post to my friends who might get entangled in a web of problems after reading this post

“A ‘sorry’ buddy…life is full of ups and downs!!”

Once I went for the first time for a movie with my friends. Dvija my friend had got us balcony tickets for the movie ‘Main hoon Na’ we were already late to the theatre and went there five minutes to the title…all the lights had already been switched off…we went like cats creeping through the light of the torch to our seats…being a balcony seat, it was so cozy as we had cushion seats. Only when then lights came up for the interval did my friend realize that next to her was a couple seat and there sat a couple so intimate unaware of their surroundings….wrong place and right time for my friend to see. And that look on her face, nothing can beat it, such a bewildered look!!

Alice was the assistant class rep of my class for 2nd yr…so whenever the class rep was absent she took complete responsibility, a great thing indeed given her size ;) on one day we had to register for some core paper, and the teacher taking that paper was down with fever or something, she wasn’t present to college. Alice had to find out with whom we all had to register. The next section teacher told her to go and meet one Miss Valentina ma’am in the dept and she will come and register for us. Alice went obediently to the dept as per orders and found Miss Valentina. But the ma’am told her that she was going out for some work and said that we can register tomorrow. Alice came out the dept where we were all standing. One of the girls from the class asked Alice about the registration to which Alice replied exactly like Valentina ma’am in a singsong voice ‘she is going outah, so she said tomm’ mocking Valentina ma’am a little only then did she turn around to see Valentina ma’am right behind her!! Wrong place right time again…we around her couldn’t control our laughter at the guilty look which Alice gave, and immediately sped from the place before ma’am could catch us, and splitting in laughter each time Alice asked us ‘did she hear me?’

Chitra is one friend of mine who is accident prone. She just can’t stop bumping into something or the other (guys beware she may bump very soon into you!) our first yr class was in the end of the campus, and there was cement platform put over the mud for us to walk. After exams one day, we were all walking back to canteen and Chitra was walking in one corner and she turned to talk to some one behind ‘thud’ she fell down the platform into the mud pit! We couldn’t stop ourselves from freaking and getting her back on feet. This done, a few days later we were sitting around the hut in our campus and Chitra got up and was standing close to the garden separated by a pile of stones ‘thud’ she fell again backwards into the garden, and her white top turned green by the grass. There was also this other incident where I myself fell down. It was near the basketball ground…and I was very enthusiastically reading my friend’s answer paper that I wasn’t looking front when I was walking. ‘Thud’ everyone were walking in front of me, and then they realized I wasn’t coming, they turned to look at me struggling to get out from a shallow pit and they burst out laughing. Coz I fell the same way as if I was reading something. I fell as if I was kneeling down!.... wrong place but right time indeed!

After attendance I was squatting on the floor well engulfed by my friends in the chairs and was having a leisurely chat with them without the knowledge of the substitute teacher who had come to our class. Suddenly the substitute teacher had a notion that somebody would have given a proxy that she started to count the heads. All my friends asked me to go back to my chair, but by that time the teacher had started walking to wards my chair and I was hiding between chairs and started to crawl…and if this is not enough, my friends started taunting me saying ‘Vidya get up, ma’am is calling you’…thank goodness, the ma’am did not hear them, when she had gone back I crawled back to my chair and sat like a innocent girl! The count was over and obviously she had one less, and she gave a confused look and started to count again, and once she came to me, she gave a quizzical look, I just looked down, and she continued with the count and was satisfied now that the attendance tallied with the no. of heads! Whew! Wrong place at the right time!

Our class was once making a hell lot of noise during our free hour, that the teachers could not bear and asked us to go to the canteen area! Surprising it was! Coz usually they would tell us to go to the library and we would sneak to the canteen! But me and my friends were bone tired, I do not know for what reason, that we decided to stay in class and chat, and we do love our class so much, that we mostly never leave it…in the course of time, a silent chat turned a bit noisy and we started chasing each other around the class with dusters and chalks…we never realized that the Hod has come up to see what the commotion is, and was staring at us silently for how much time we wondered…I was the one of the few of my friends who saw her first and got up, and everybody stopped their play and turned innocent looking faces to her!
Hod: what are you 7 ppl. Doing in class, where are the rest of your classmates?
Us: we had a free period and were asked to go to the canteen ma’am
Hod: is this ur canteen?
Us: no ma’am
Hod: give me your numbers
Us: sorry ma’am
Hod: do you realize the amount of noise you were making, bringing the roof down; I don’t care about your sorries give me your numbers!
One by one we gave her our dept numbers, and when it came to me, Hod looked up at me, coz only a day before was she so good to me as I was roaming around in the dept to submit my late Philadelphia scholarship entry, and getting good lectures from her on how we must be responsible and not so careless. I had forgotten to bring my entry that day, and it was supposedly the last date which I did not know, and she took pity on me and hearing my entire bio data on my parents and brother gave me an extra form! And now here I am giving my number for braking rules! Wrong place right time!

This is one funnier incident which I will never ever forget in my life…I had gone for a get together of my friends and we were chatting, one of my friends had brought her cousin along with her and I was chatting along with this cousin, he was so sweet and everything, when the topic came about one particular girl whom I very much did not like, I heard she was engaged, and I told this cousin that she should get a guy who has no looks, no money, and who is so crazy that she couldn’t live with him…and also that I am very bad to think like this! (Note: after thinking!) Then I asked this cousin if he had seen this girl, to which he replied of course I have, she is the one I am engaged to! I wished at that time, that the earth below me would open up and gobble me inside, only to drown my thoughts by the shrieks of laughter from my friends shot at me! Wrong place to open my mouth at the right time!

Alice was sitting in marketing class with deepthi, ma’am was giving us a boring lecture on penetrating and skimming prices, when she was taking skimming price, Alice was so frustrated that she told Deepthi that she wished to ‘skin’ ma’am, and they giggled over it. After fifteen minutes ma’am called ‘502’ that is Alice’s number, and asked what was so funny to laugh? Alice replied that she did not laugh. Ma’am went into a big lecture on how irresponsible we all are, we never realize the importance of education and blah, blah, blah…then she told Alice that if she did not tell the reason she would give this chapter as self study, Alice had to come up with something, she told ma’am that she wrote ‘skinning’ instead of ‘skimming’ and laughed at her spell error! And all this while she was giving a look filled with innocence, guilt, fear! Ma’am asked her to bring the notebook to her. She did not know what to do, she hurriedly scribbled ‘skinning’ and stroke it and wrote ‘skimming’ and took the notebook to ma’am. Reaching ma’am she said that she was laughing at herself and her spell error and not at ma’am! See how honest Alice is? Learn to be like her! ;)

Well I guess that’s time enough I have to write abt all the wrong places and right times…see you soon with a brand new post!

Driving people insane as always!

Gone are those days
When college started in June
We were frantically searching for friends
Looking around for people with like tastes
Judging people by their behaviors
Shunning the attitude of some
Beaming at the attitude of some
And making new friends
2 years hath passed
We have set ourselves into distinct groups
We have created an identity
Met people who have same wave length
Had some innumerable memories
And here comes your
Second birthday in college
But alas, Alice
Y did u come to this world on April 26th
Perfectly when college closes
Never giving us an opportunity to celebrate it
But, still we celebrate it in our minds
You are gonna be 19!
That is an achievement
When you look still as if you are 9!

You are a very special person in my gang of friends
Oh my, now don't you get all too senti
You were the one born with
Patience
To correct all unimaginable
Spelling mistakes made by me
You were the one born
Tolerable
To listen to my rantings
You were the one who never got bugged
When I called u almost every single day
You were the one who did not get irritated
When I called you during exams
Just to tell you I have finished studying
You were the one who always
Trusted me to do well in exams
Okai that is an exaggeration
All of you trust me in that aspect
You were the one
Who looks so funny When you
Make such unimaginable mistakes
In your favorite subject called
Mathematics!!
You were the one who gave a lending ear
To listen to all my indifferences
Which I had with certain people

You were the one born with the sensible mind
You were the one born to be practical
You were the one born to be mischievous
You were the one born cute
You were the one who always
Escapes from anything you do
With that over sweet smile of yours!

You were the only person,
Who is near my heart,
Next too abby and Dvija!!
Now tell all others in our gang
Not to stare at me with piercing eyes
Yeah, even they are near my heart
But you top the list!!
What can I give you on your birthday?
What is more precious than,
Words, straight from my heart?
It may be inexpensive
But certainly are priceless
I know, I know
I blow my own trumpet!
But you definitely have a gift
And to know what it is
You have gotta wait till
I return from my inter CWA exams
And enough…
I never meant to senti attack you
Ms.Alice George John


A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDY WISH

Driving people insane as always

okai dont blink people....this blog is exclusively dedicated to my friends Abby,dvija and of course me zany.....Vidya...

i was suddenly struck up with a turmoil of emotions..and i thought who will be there for me wen the whole world turns their back at me...i saw two faces..it was abby and dvija.......i donno...i am never the senti type...but here this blog...just for them..and me!!

and people dont ask me who is birdie....coz i dont even know who it is?


THR THREE MONKEYTEERS!!



this is Vidya, Abby, Dvija...now for the poem

ONE little monkey caught in a tree
Birdie named it Abby and set it free
Abby couldn't stand in one place
Coz she wanted to play the veena
She played, played and played
She played, played and played
Birdie could bear no more
Abby was sent to school



Another little monkey caught in the tree
Birdie named it Dvija and set it free
Dvija couldn't stand in one place
She was dancing all around
She danced, danced and danced
She danced, danced and danced
Birdie could bear no more
Dvija was sent to school



Another little monkey caught in the tree
Birdie named it Vidya and set it free
Vidya couldn't stand in one place
Coz she wanted to write stories
She wrote, wrote and wrote
She wrote, wrote and wrote
Birdie could bear no more
Vidya was sent to school





Three little monkeys now in school
Sat in the first row
In the boys row
As against the girls row
Where they belong
Coz they were different



They learnt and forgot
How to account
They learnt and forgot
How to be economical
They learnt and forgot
How to do business
They learnt and forgot
Of the monkey
Whose name started with 'N'
They learnt and never forgot
The value called friendship



School came to an end
They didn't bade goodbye
Coz they never went by
They went in three different roads
Connected by the same lane
The lane called friendship



One went to become a marketing executive
One went to become a media entertainer
One went to become a cost accountant
But never did they lose touch
As they crossed many thresholds'
Deep in their heart
Was the thin vein of friendship
Protected by a million
Flesh and blood of memories
Never should they part
Till they cross earth's threshold
