I am the 1st person to reach there at 11:10 AM as the reunion was scheduled at 11:00 AM & slowly everyone walks in & Booomm!!!! We are 10 years younger & the place is Nadergul, College is MVSR Engineering College, the batch is 2003 & the stream is ECE.
These few steps have finally taken all the friends back to an age where we used to spend hot noons in basketball & volleyball courts. The strategies, the groups,the college, the game courts, the game & finally the friends - none have changed except the real estate. I really am feeling blessed to be a part of such a beautiful journey called Life with such golden footprints in our memories.
Irrespective of what & how successful we are, the friendship and the attitude remained the same. Some have slimmed down and some have rounded their bellies, some got married, some became proud fathers & some still single. With so many changes in life, if something has remained unchanged is our friendship ofcourse the same enthusiasm to play. Infact we played basketball too in the scorching sun and had photosession in the ECE block. It started with looking at the locked doors of the classrooms, where we used to have our lunch at 11 AM itself during the lectures.The entire classroom used to fill with an aura of beautiful home cooked food especially chapatis with aloo curries & during the regular lunch breaks chapatis never lasted more than 30 secs. Open the box- bang 10 hands rush replicating the amitabh's satte pe satta! The same roti would have taken 10 min to eat at home and still hunger would not have gone. It's not only me, everyone in the group has gone/treaded 10long years back into the memory lane and saw each one of us in the same class rooms doing the same things.
It went on by each one of us visiting the LOO to recollect how the exam paper used to get shared just 5 min after the start. All the students who were aware of the question paper are so lazy, they used to read not more than 2 or 3 answers, so that it will fetch them atleast 9 marks out of 25 & the rest of the people who have already started the exam never bothered of such leaks. 1 Centimeter 2 fold paper had 4 long answers-Could you believe that! Miniature Masters doing bachelors in Engineering.
Dragging myself back to the present, we all went to Nadergul to have lunch. we had samosas,puffs cool drinks just to make ourselves ready for the big finals. Yes we played a match and the teams are as follows.
Team A:
Jithu,
Srikanth lambu,
AVS,
Bhai,
Ravinder Naik,
Saasu(big)
Srinivasulu.
Team B:
Raki,
Subbu(Small),
Raghu,
Aamir,
Nagesh,
Prashanth
Vijay Jelli,
Guess who the winner is? ofcourse the spirit! And finally the interview session by Subbu(Chota) went on successfully with his pure telugu and impure questions.
If I had a chance to live my life again, I would definitely join the same college with same friends doing the same mistakes. After all watching so many bollywood movies it really is not difficult to make out - what sentiment means !
To add an icing on the cake, majority of the group went to "3 Idiots". Good movie presenting most of our feelings on a big screen.
I thank all of you for making my life so beautiful and making this trip more sweeter by not adding calories though.
Regards,
Santhosh Kumar.
