Finished my schooling in Singara Chennai, nd after a whole lot of confusion abt courses nd colleges finally settled for CIT, Coimbatore for S/w Engineering. The day still remains fresh- July 9th 2003, de first day of my college life. I went to hostel prior to college to settle my
baggages in my alloted room. All new nd fresh faces from all parts of de state nd a few from de neighbouring aswell. At first look, I thought der were all hi-fi studs among me. Anyway, was foxed very soon in dat issue ;) (lol)... Started to interact with all guys very soon. Not very late, the students for other courses also flocked the college nd hostel. V guys were very eagerly waiting for few gud chicks in college, but were waiting for the whole of college life nd eventually failed to find even a hand full of them ;))... A few days latter we were asked to meet the seniors. Had to say, it was quite a f*$king time with them involving lifeless intro sessions and so-called ragging. Slowly started interacting with the other dept guys nd seniors. (In pic, from left to right: Charan, me, Gopi, Rams, Bharath nd Balaji(from the door top).We shared the same living place(CIT hostel))....Life at classes nd labs were quite painful listening to few irksome lectures nd attending labs without any spice in it. The entire fun was after 5 in de evening; chatting with guys in hostel, pulling each other's leg, loud songs in hostel rooms, surfing at de internet cafes near by, purposeless walks with friends on the college road nd wat not... Most of the evening time would fly away by just thinking how to spend it. Weekends passed away by sleeping, movies nd very rarely playing some sports. Being attracted towards movies, frequented all theaters in the city. My only criteria for movies wuld b entertaining me for 3 hrs nd featuring really gud looking actress(Anyhow, thoroughly enjoyed de genuine movies nd like reviewing them).. So, very hardly spend time with books nd never had the idea after the so-called hard working during the 12th(atleast pretended to hard work during school days ;) )
Was waiting for a home visit eagerly during de early period but de frequency got reduced as days passed. Although nothin much fascinating was happening at college, just loved spending the time with friends. Being in coimbatore with lots of places near-by to spend time nd chill out, v guys very hardly took steps for any trip. But fortunately or unfortunately ;) decided for a class
trip to Ooty. We had arranged a tempo or bus or some crap(I faintly remember) which would squeeze in the 25 of us, who were ready for the trip on a early friday morning. (I culd remember, it was during the hostel day function for which de first yrs were not allowed to attend). The trip was intended for 2 days, visiting almost all important places of Ooty nd its neighbouring. It was during dis trip dat I decided to hav a go at my first drink, few experienced guys said it was called beer(Kingfisher strong)... Ho, f&*K!! how culd one drink dat when it stinks like hell nd tastes like s**t... Just a sip was enough for me to regurgitate. Guys around started teasing me(huf, who is bothered).. Just went away but struggled to find some sleep for myself. And I tel u, dat was de last time I touched de BEER..(anyway after a yr, vodka provided me de break-through in booze ;) )The next mornin v were fresh nd ready to roam, went to few places nd returned to hostel dat evening at 9... As 1st yrs had to be in hostel by 9...(actually struggled a lot to be in on-time)....Amidst all these, we had the pain of attending mid-sems(twice a semester) nd practicals. With all sorts of things, de time passed quite soon nd we were heading towards de end of academic yr. Finally there came the study hols for the first sem(first yr was a non-semester pattern).. I went home for de 10 days. Had spent the next couple of weeks with books nd pain of touching it after a long time, nd some how managed to clear the first sem successfully.
"Hey, hurray!!! I am a second yr student now" nd with a wrong intension dat no one culd ques me for anythin(actually deceived by few worst tamil films, lol)... The "gethu" prevailing over my head nd awaiting de juniors...............................
