My Life at a Glance-School :)

Wow aren't they amazing ?

When you are down in trash, when the whole world seems to stand one, against you, when the pockets are completely empty and the debts are damn high, you want to smile but all you can do is sigh(!)... My Friends are just a phone call, a post card, an e-mail or a simple SMS away! They make me smile, blush, cry, shout, scream, Sing, Dance (even if I am bad at dancing they take the pain of watching ! :P), laugh till tears pour down like cherapunji rains and most importantly, they make me ALIVE! I mean they are essential for making life what it's meant to be...

Normally  I'm really passionate about them, but there will entirely times, when nasty swearings takes place but still, I thought all of them deserve a post entirely to themselves! :) If I ever wanted to talk about all my buddies on this post, you'll still be reading it when you are eighty. So ,I'll try to fit in as many as I can... To those who might get left-out - I'm really sorry, Love you loads.

Now... I don't know where to start!! :/

In some ways, my first ever friend was a guy called Sanjay. We were playmates when we were barely three. I still remember his promise that he would take me out to visit the 'Planitorium' one day... but yeah, well, it was never to be. I have NO idea how he looks now, or where he is, but I heard he got a baby sister  and calls her names he used to call me ! (yea, exactly! how cuute!! :)) Sanju, I don't know where you are... but you are remembered! :)

There is a place where world everyone presumably goes for "gaining knowledge" and "acquiring wisdom" and so many other things we never end up gaining... but what all of us most definitely gain are -  Friends! And that place, is called School! My school has given me a awesome set of friends who are almost like mini family! Always Sweet Delicate Darling Reshikaaa, My Bubbly Sweetheart Bhagya, Cool and calm yet the silent mischief maker Shanks, Hyper Mama (sorry di, had to do that! :P), That Honest, ever studious incarnate Lincy, Naughty Rolled Vino (had to do that too!), Curly beauty Bonina, Partners-in-Crime ever-energetic "Hindi girls" (Well seperately,My crime rate is way too high),Innocently beautiful Nits(M^3),Ever calm and guider Angeline, Nearly my Mom Priyadharshini..oops..I'm running outta adjectives! :P

Life was never  complete without those scoldings from Mrs.Jos(My physics Pillar :P) ,those unwinding Hindi classes and French classes when all of us sit together and jabber up, those silly stupid fights with Lincy and Deepa or Nithya's idiotism's interspersed with those burpss and Fun unlimited ! Vino and Nithya(A-Tree)...omg !.. Those Never ending-Chats-in-the-Auto-everyday,  long Vetti Chat Sessions with Bhagya and sasi anna chasing us out of campus after 6.30, 1/2 Tea and Kucchi chips fom canteen during Band practice with Angeline , Evening strolls through almost every by-corridor in the school, Priyadharshini's caution of word when I go out of paths, Millers Super Market, Mrs.Nikila's Shop in DSF,Those silly ever-increasing-crushes-each-year,those messed problems with your class teacher and your English teacher,Mrs.Jessie our biggest backbone,Those run on the mill escapes and pranks in Biology classes,Sleeping the Classrooms with pencil pranks - you name it, we've done it! Reshikaa's really special, coz whatever fix I get myself into, she's always there with a smile and a ear to listen to all my polambals. (She lives above me and she still does ! :)) When you live with a person 24x7, you just can't help loving them. :)

My life would be soo incomplete without you!

Each one at Holy cross would have some experience like this..Some Crazy weird things to say our kids..I miss them ! And I really mean It :) :

And then there are my newest set of friends the ACCET gang, IIIT gang and the list goes on !

I guess this  post is getting way too long. So I must get to the wind-up somewhere near. Sorry If I had left anyone in that list.. All of you have made my life more beautiful and I am not going to thank you at all. I'm going to stay in your life as long as I can and keep messing things up like I normally do - that's a promise. :D

Damnation Its Me ;D

Yes ! I haven't written anything useful on anything since March.

So what have I done in these 9 months ? I've travelled quite a bit, lived in my home for most of the time, changed my approach towards living, come back to amma and well I was supremely drowned in my superficial research studies that started up when I didn't know what I could do with my late night WIFI in KNH .(Well, Acronym for my hostel !)

I now want to do intern in a fast paced environment, where you got to be in your feet  all the time which is great but that means sleeping at 10 is a rare commodity and preparation is a must . Every day I am struggling to find me through those codings and algorithms . Uff ! Those guys takes up most of the space in my brain that when I go to my room, I am all exhausted and bed takes up that place. Sigh ! I haven't listened to good music in these days, haven't laughed so hard that I cried, haven't written poetry, haven't discussed weird girlish shit over late night chats !

But guess what !? I have been happy. Not that Woooooooooohoooyaaa happy, but that satisfied, a peace with the world Happy. Yes, Classes in the morning suck. Yes, I often go hungry. Yes, things have changed. Yes, it is very tough. But I also have those late sunday brunches, those late night movies, those late minute outings ,those unexpected phone calls from friends who want to know if you are still alive and those long winding arratai sessions with amma and family are those that make all the struggle totally worth it !

Like a wise friend of mine once said," I know its hard Buns but that's how it is !"( Engineering graphics assignment)
