ugadi - the telugu new year

Once in a year a day breaks and welcomes u into the new yr... and this is no different for ppl in Andhra too... we really miss home at this hour of the day when the celebrations are at peak on that day at home.. but nothing to worry,, we have a get-together called as Andhra Samithi where all ppl in this local zone come under one roof to celebrate.... :)

This is the time when we could meet ppl and shake hands.. and wish our frnds some best wishes for their future endeavours.. hehe.. but only one of my frnd and myself were little different.. we just had a great day... we started off by saying eachother that,, we shall count the no. of gals we see today.. as this is the best occassion to start with..(NEW YEAR) :)..

Well it was surely a hectic day after the day's work.. but we were even enthused by the above said fact....hmmmm... it was evening when we started counting and the first count was handsome.... nevertheless we bothered abt how they looked.. well what can i tell abt my coll gals.. there's a well known saying which perfectly suits my college.."99% of the gals in the city are gud,, but the rest are in my college".... have no better words..lolz... hmmm so we decided to count the gals who dont belong to our coll... great na.. nice idea... :D . It was great fun.. and towards the end of the day we were able to count 30 (3 times on fingers on hands) :hehe...well it was not a bad start.... guess wat... my frnd i was talking abt was not in his control... he was jumping out of joy..(or something else.. i dont know wat)..he uttered "uff... thirrrrrttyyyy mannn"....it took us some time to control him.. but ya, we were successful....

I guess this could have been the perfect end of any day...we were back in hostel....now I have no other work other than to write this.. recollecting those funny moments spent with my frnds for the last time in this college on this occassion... :( ,....hope those flashes of those few worthy seconds last long in my neurons...!!

Moments Pass By....!! ||

It was long long ago, when I toiled day and night for fairing well in the entrance exams.... :) & finally, got into a decent college which falls in the Eastern Region of our Country... so called as National Institute Of Technology, Durgapur.. I met new faces from diverse regions, accustomed to the local Bangu(West Bengal) atmosphere... Ohh..!! the least thing i could ever forget in the college is the non-edible food which was put on time in the tidy mess (lolz..!!). Loads of fun was on cards man.. uff.. the most disastruos moments were when u get whacked on ur ass for the damn reason that u were born on that day...!! I wondered "Is the mentality of the students who destined to do their UG in this college like that?? or is the mentality of every student like that??".. the proxies in the class,, the mass bunks that were organized,, the so called disputes amongst stud students.... the ragging which was a perfect stage for my seniors to show their wrath on the me, for the silly reason that they had a bad day....the association with some frnds as in a family.... were worth recalling.... those were the days in my very First Year in this College.

Well we were 10 members in a family in this college.. and we had a very gud co-ordination within us. We moved into the new Hostel, so new room mates... infact it was like the whole of our wing was filled with elite ppl who kept themselves away from violence and other unworthy things..as a matter of fact there were 2 persons (2 of some close frnds) in this coll.. who were class mates.. Oh Sorry.. BENCH MATES form class 10. (Dear Deepu & Dear Sumeet)..they were (& are) soul mates. There were days when I to be jealous(no offence intended) of them. Well that was the time when we felt that we were seniors and neither of us were not interested in ragging... It was very uneventful year.. like there is nothing worth recalling.. hehe. given a chance I would wipe out that year from my life... this was my Second Year in this College.

Uff.. the nightmares started in the following year.. and i never knew that it was a sweet poison..... :( I went deep into and into.. found emptiness and it was like i was in a deep shit, searching for happiness.. which obviously was not visible even at the farthest distance one can see.... I Royally Screwed myself, both personally and carrer wise... in anticipation of some holy shit.. :( but ya i managed to spring back into my normal life... this year taught me many many values and simple tricks to keep the poison at bay... I was even succesful in a project which clutched me to the technical carrer... this was my Third Year in this College.

Years were passing by but the views on studies failed to make any significant impact on me..!! Ya it was time for Placements but wats the point.. I was in the lower rung of the calss.. rarely woke up for class.. had a great early morning sleep.. worked up late in the nights.. but one thing worth mentionable was that i was given offers by 2 cos. And now its like the sole purpose of getting into a gud college is accomplished.. Ohh... I forgot to mention, I was a Representative thru my Dept. now left without any worthy work.. many nightouts.. association with new frnds... is making up my year... :) .. this is my current Final Year in this College.

And now if u sum up all the SECONDS u experienced in this College.. its like FLASHES passing by.. I ll be missing my College badly once I pass out of this college..
