Arshad

Name : Arshad
Classmate in college

He used to call himself tintu mon. He was my lab partner along with Anoop. I always enjoyed my lab classes quite a lot with these guys around. They used to joke around a lot, and usually comment on the actions of the other students of the lab, and mainly was really funny listening to them. He was not much into talking to gals and always used to say gals have an additional blood cell in them called the cheat blood cell. But for all his "he man woman hater" club attitude, he was still very friendly in the lab. I would like to believe that he never hated me atleast ... anyway they both used to make fun saying i wasnt considered a gal ... :( . He used to love going out on trips and often went out on bikes with the guys. He has an integrity of character, strong beliefs, a good sense of humour and was often outspoken, when he does speak. He didnt speak much to girls, mainly kept the company of guys. He was also very much interested with viruses and hacking and all sort of stuff ... photoshop etc etc ... In most programming lab classes if anyone has done the code it wud immediately be in his folder as well ... he he, used to amuse me to no end and I always wondered how he got it that fast. Though he is more of an introvert, i believe he is a really good friend and really good to those whom he loves ... thats abt it.

We had been lab partners - he,Arshad and me, till my s6 labs ... so there was a lot of fun incidents we had shared ... labs were always fun with these guys around. He was a genius in the electronics lab coz he created a new design where all the resistors and capacitors and all where standing to attention on the bread board, and after that we never let him connect anything by himself ... but miraculously he passed that lab in the first attempt itself ... which was really a surprise. He is a quiet guy mostly and was shy in talking to girls when he first came to our class. But well our class gals are a different breed and he got a bit more active as the years passed. Well he actually is quite a smart guy and intelligent too but he kinda wasnt in the mood to use it in the labs back then. He had also gotten a few punches from me and he was responsible for giving me the nickname olive. He is actually a sweet guy, straight forward, honest and fun. He used to tell me I remind him of his younger sister who used to beat him up at home ... ;). He used to be more of a hang out with guys type. But well though he appears a bit cool and distant, once he decides to make u his friend he will be a really true and great friend. Thats it abt this guy for now ...

She is a real quiet and reserved girl in class, who can talk a lot and be a really good friend if u take the time to get to know her. She has great artistic talents and is quite a good painter and some of her pencil sketches are really good. She used to help me, and most of the hostelites wear saree ... she was our expert on saree dressing. She is the youngest in her family, the fifth kid ... but not at all spoilt by being the youngest in a big family. She has a strong mind and wont waver from her decisions once she makes them, and has strong feelings about everything. She is a bit sensitive and also very loving. She really cares for her friends ... she was a classmate and hostelmate to me and there are many memories of the times we spent together ... but with this i stop for now ...

The only other gal in the group ... she is a fun loving gal. Was really crazy abt going for tours same as me ... She is always having a ready smile and a voice of real high frequency. We had a blast dancing away to glory in all the tours. We also shared a bench from middle of my second year in college onwards ... and had lots of fun causing trouble in class. She loves to buy footwear, thats her main weakness. We have gone to movies, and she used to stay at hostel with me and all together the memories are many. We have gone for many movies and had enjoyed a lot of outings. She is a simple gal who is a real great friend to have. Easy to talk to, very good at giving company, open, a good companion to have with u when u want to go for adventure or just have a blast in life ... the kind of friend who wud be with u thru thick and thin ... Much more to write as we had a lot of times together, but will fill in later ...

He is a really innocent guy whose still a child at heart. He is into pinching and hitting his friends so he is called pincher. He has strong feelings about his friends and wouldnt tolerate anyone hurting them. He loves to hang out with the guys, go on trips with them and have fun in general. A really simple and easy going guy. His loves to eat eggs and wud attack any tiffin box that has eggs in it. He loves sweets too ... and so does all the others so when a sweet box is opened its always a big fight to see who gets more ... There are lot more to say ... but i guess i have to stop now.

Andru

Name : Vishnu
Classmate in college
Gang in class : Anand, Amal, Mathayi, Andru, Arun, Shanker, Rakhi and me

Andru got his name coz he is from Andrukonam, and well he is a quite jolly character. Had some fun in tours and he used to be into style. When i think of him its all the style he tries out ... he is kinda obsessed abt his looks, and well he tries to keep his looks "cool" too ... he is fun when u are out on a trip! He and mathayi are always fighting over really silly topics quite often ... they are like kids at times, but well thats also fun coz they make up real fast too (well mostly mathayi goes soft and makes the first move, and someone shud ... :D). He is an open person, an extrovert and loves having fun. And in four years time there are lot of fun we have had together, as part of the group everyone pulling each others leg ... And if there was a competition for who cud be the champion leg puller, he wud go away with the cup!!! He was also a good sport and gave me some company during sports times. And he can be a good help to take shopping and thanks to Rakhi and Veena he wud be successful in taking his wife out shopping ... as in one tour he ended up with those two and any one who knows what gals are like when they are out shopping can imagine how much experiance he must have gained ;) having to handle not one but two gals on shopping spree ... they really drove him crazy by running off in opposite directions in Bangalore where he had to keep them from getting lost. But well he was quite cool in that he succeeded in bringing them back safe ... There were lot more wonderful moments and i might add them eventually, but guess this is it for now abt this one!

This is vedan ... and the first thing that always comes to mind is when he eats one porotta which dissappear in one mouth ... ha ha :) ... he is the giant guy in the gang with extremely loud voice. He was always very outgoing and friendly, can make friends easily and can talk abt anything and everything. He was always into organising events. He is a very good organiser of events and all of the college tours by our class was organised by him, quite well in fact. I have gone for all of them and have had so much fun. Anyway moving on, there is this song we always associate with him ... Chanju nikkana putha mavinte kombathe chillayil keriyathu, poornachandrane kaanan alla, poo parikkanalla ... this song will always remind me of him, he used to sing it on all the tours with ample reason for it. Guys used to call him the database, :D . He is quite good with handling people and can be very helpful to u. A nice guy, who has been a lot of fun to hang out with. There are lots of memories of all the fun, the college tours, our short fun trips to movies as a gang, the college day dance (He was dushyanthan in maliniyude theerangal - priceless!!!). And hope we will always keep in touch ...
