Engg Days....Part 1

Well, final year comin to an end....i'm in 8th sem now......god knows, how time flew by!!!!
It seems only yesterday that an out-of-sync, overwieght boy, saw, those broken windows of the sports room frm the bball court down below with his papa, a bunch of tall sporty lukin ppl play the hoop game, a bunch f scary lukin seniors stare hungrily at him, a couple f wierd proffs walkin around, a group f freshers like him already in a group f their own chattin away...... all this was too much to grasp for him during the short time they were in (apparently) the parking lot......and he quickly took his fathers hand and rushed him inside the building toward the office thinking "holy shit, how am i gonna survive here?"......
Then............... that guy met ME in the office...............

First year was, simply put, torrid......i hate meeting new people and there was a whole bunch of em(actually 90).....i knew the old frnds were gone, Anik, Akshaye, Sandeep, Ravi....i would never meet em again(it never happens, once u go to diff. colleges...thats it, the thread breaks)..... the whole 'bhai-chara' had to be started again....
well it wasnt as if i didint know anybody in the class....i had met this thin wiery guy in the seat selection process in CET cell... he went by name Anuj..... we were as if destined to be in the same coll(long story here)..... and the big burly Koushik a.k.a demon-domon(no i idea what a domon is)...... me and koushik went to the same tutions (Seetharam Sir)......
On the first day i remember i went striaght to the last bench seeing the only familiar faces thr.... Me and anuj wernt the only ppl thr....present were some really strange faces....there were some customary "cool guy" handshakes as all of got each others intro....
present were (as we now know as....)

1) ANANTH a.k.a GOD (He is claimed to have a Mystical smile, aur "jab bhi ananth ko gussa aata hai...kahin par jwalamukhi phatta hai", and a whole civilization gets destroyd,i know its sad. We all understand he was the one who destroyd Atlantis. He's a problem solver) Apne pure project ka completion iske majboot kandho pe hai.... His place is like my 2nd home...if im not at my place, i'll be found at either his or Harsha's place....

2) ANUJ a.k.a Anuj itself.....(luvs his BBall, he shoots frm any angle...he calls me "RIMI" during our bball sessions, If one thinks hard its easy to understand why, 'RIM-i'...) All the makings of a Event manager.... Organized our "coll. fest" almost single handidly!!!!

3) ARJUN a.k.a KOPPA (Its his surname....not sure how that nickname caught on + he has a funny way of saying 'chutiye'!!! nd he lives by his name, during online pool he sumhow manages to sink the black no. 8 frm anywhere anytime........even when not needed... he nd me together got hooked to rock, virtually at the same time....Like me a massive fan of Pink Floyd nd Led Zep) co-wrote some graphic symbols on ma fav. shirt with Rakshat.....

4) HARSHA a.k.a GURUJI (speak to him for 30 secs. and u'll know why. We actually call him Brain nd Guruji behind his back...nd he did'nt know it until now.... he is definetly worshipped in our class by our fellow comrades, including me, koppa, god and a few lecturers too (who go to him for tutions).... but all this said...definetly NOT a nerd)...and since after some 'events' have come to my knowledge recently..... his image has taken a further hike.....nd i have found my "guruji" in him!!!!

5) RAKSHAT a.k.a RAIKAR (again a surname...but this was started by Mr. ******* (he taught us electricals in 1st sem) who we now know as 'Digambar'....anyway he's apna very own connection to the west....he's frm Dubai.....nd apparently has a lot of contacts in the middle east (if u know what i mean).... oh did i mention he's our coll. stud..and i can say is a 'fruit' for all the 'fruitflies' of our coll, a 'sugar lump' for all the 'ants', a piece of 'sugarcane' for 'elephants', a 'grain of wheat' for the 'sparrows'......u get the picture right!!!! Sorry for the wierd examples.... just wanted to drive my point home....

6) RAVI a.k.a RAVI BHAI (This dude scares me sumtimes...he freakinshly strong...has a fast growing bald patch and is a huge fan of Homeopathy.... I have seen him popping those pills for ages without any increase in his hair-line... One of the most laid-back guys i've ever come across)
