Reminiscence of college life
---------------------------------
All will agree with me when I say ,memories are the best part of life. as they come flooding to me tonite,I cant but share a few with you.
In the chronological order:-
Rudest shock of my life----day 1 in college;I actually saw a cow grazing near the principal’s office window!!I had come for my admission;and I didn’t knw if I should run or stay.well,I just did.
Most silent day --- day 2 in college.that’s wen the classes started.(ha ha)
Most friendly eyes--- lemi’s.day3
Scariest person---nalini ma’am.(my knees still go weak tryin to decide whether to smile or just walk on)
Then a lot of self intro’s and hi’s later
When I enjoyed d most---ragging anju on her first day in s1s2.she did d action song 4 ‘twinkle twinkle’.(HA HA HA)
Most memorable evenings---wen prema and I would skip d cllg bus jus 4 d sake of a slow walk till we ran out of things 2 banter abt, n 4 d cold tea n 'vadai'* from LMS canteen.
First time an utter stranger lukd soo familiar----dats secret(wink!)
Most exciting event of cllg—first cllg election v witnessed..wen d KSU pulis still roamed d GEC jungle..i had talked myself hoarse d day bfore..and ofcorse’ INSIGNIA
Sweetest voice of our campus—sandeep bose..i still remember his ‘i’ll b 2 steps behind you’ for valentine’s day’04..our first in d college..
Most Inspiring GEC-ian--- gokul b alex..dearest ex-union chairman.i recall his heated arguments about d rise of communism in soviet union(overheard) ,with a thoroughly dumbfound open-mouthed it-doesn’t-matter-who.
He would talk passionately about literature n exhort to write like mad whenever n on whatever topic possible.n never too busy 2 listen 2 ‘juniors’.
Most useful times spent on campus—d quiz club sessions..jus memories now
Biggest surprise---VGK afterall turned out b not-so-hostile,friendly even(at times)
Lectures I enjoyed d most—balu sir,d great!(though d lab exams wer hell)
Lecturer who constantly got on my nerves—crybabe!you know who.!

Personal best team effort---‘vainottam’**---viji n i.(v r working overtime these days ..so few days left!!)
On a serious note---THE MIME(spcl thanx 2 rekha.ab jaana ‘tholikkatti’ kis chees ki naam hai)
Silly li’l things----

our outpost near d s1s2 classes under d tree(its gone now,it was d best ‘viewpoint’ ever)
cushion chairs of s3(how v fought d day it came)
d steps near s3-s4 classses (second best ‘viewpoint’)
CN lab---100 mbps is simply too good..i cant get over it!!
Special thanx—canteen-thanx 4 d innumerable teas n puffs over d years----I remember too,d innumerable times you were pure torture saying ‘evide onnumilla’.

Combined study sessions @ chitra’s…exam special..
Unforgettable bombshell!! IV –I am speechless here..
Object of affection-----the ‘vishuchedi’(konna tree)on d way 2 d drawing hall.
Last vishu,it made me wait long n hard 4 d first blooms,but once it started blooming ,d tree remained golden for a long time!!
I hope nobody cuts it down in d name of development
Heartbreak---to see our dearest football ground now resemble mars with all its craters!!
I hav purposefully left out d big events-things everybody knw.
