A first year evening :
It was a nice evening. A senior guy came near me and asked - "You dare to add a senior in your orkut . eeh..?" He was asking in a cool way. But my heart was there in my mouth when i came to know that harish i added yesterday is this guy..
I tried to convince - "chetta i never thought that way. I'm sorry . I've got another friend named harish . I thought it was his profile. "
Seeing my nervousness he replied- " But i just don't complained you.. Hmmm just asked .. "
It went ahead with some chori questions and answers . I thought I could have born as a girl. Its awesome even to see how sweetly the senior guys treats little chicks.
In the end he asked -" Do you have money ?"
"yeah a little "
"gimme ".
I gave him 10 rupees and left the place . I thought inside , After all ,this guy is better .He is just insulting me, but not using a single word to insult my poor parents. :) .
Semester 4 : evening in bus -
"Kokarako kokarako ( sound of kozhi )" - Hari sounded .
I asked "What "
Look harish bhai in middle of 10 girls.. My mind said."Times have, for sure ,changed . Raggers have become very friendly ,so even we are able to insult them in public!! ."
Harish Bhai came near us "Eda eda ...pattikeleeee.. I'll be in T Bus "
We told :" Mmmm Mmmmm namukkelam manasilakunnu"
He came near us " Alia ... Maanam kedutharuthu... jeevichu potte";
Inside bus, we teased him very much saying some girls's name and all.
After sastamangalam (This is the place where Hari will leave bus) , the bus won't be having its usual mess at all.. Harish bhai came and sat near me . I just asked :" Anna entiru anna ... evarokke pareenathinte satyavasta enthiraaaanu ".. He just smiled and started a big story . I heard it silently. Some shadows of sadness went through his gestures , expressions and all. Of course most of the guys do have some stuffs like these.glup!! But never have i seen a girl in such a sentimental mess. I heard all those. These kind of small small small sentiments and sorrows should be there in college life. Else what life yaar.. I said while stepping out of college bus.
He smiled and said yeah man ... and kicked ma ass "But you still dont have any thing even to say eh" .. I took a breath and tried to keep the smile as such and told.. "Yeah really ... " .
While i was in train i said my self.. This is the same man who ragged me in the first year. And now turned to be a close macha macha.. Is this phenomena exist some where in the world or is it a unique feature of cet ... Hats off cet for it's unwritten rules ..
Semester 6 : The day before IIT M trip :
IIT M CEA fest always have been a trump card for cetians ,as they can grab prizes easily with out much competition. Its has emerged as an excursion these years, as the romantic couples of college found out the event to be diplomatically most best time to wander with their romantic heroes and heroines .Also as guys never want to loose any chance to visit madras especially as pondicheery is a near place (pondicheri is a union territory with low tax for beverages .. i mean lime juice eh .. ) and also we all had been fascinated by the "not so cold " stories of T nagar and all.
Sreekesh Hari and nishant etc were busy with casting of concrete cubes for testing. It was the day of IIT trip. For testing i could saw a black pulsar roaming inside cet . Harish bhai kindheartedly gave us his vehicle for carrying sample cubes each weighing around 8 to 9 kgs. Black pulsar- Definitely male.. He would be really proud to have such a good pulsar. Some days before he came in bike bay with his pulsar cleaned well . I asked "anna odichu padikan tharao "
He replied "Sorry macha .. just took from service station .. Service kainje ullu.. Randu divasam kaiyette " .
Ovva randeesam kainja angu tharum ..
That evening i said bye to him.. He asked - "Edda sardarji ne ponille IITyil "
i replied - " Ella chetta .. I'm not going now .. appo sheri "
S6 :The day after arrival of IIT Guys
Some messages has already came as train reached palakad (In tamil nadu roaming was there) about the funs they had in iit . I was eagerly chatting with many to know more about the things happened in pitch darkness near OAT . Time was around 8 i guessed. My cell phone flashed . New message Lambran . I opened . I read through the message .I opened my eyes more as a kid and i tried to figure out the words more accurately .
The message was "Harish chettan marichu poi" . I called him and some seniors . Nazreen cheechi told "yeah the thing is true". I remained in chair . I called sreekesh .
I just asked . "Da alia Enthua ithu "
"Ethrrreeeem okke ullu sardareee jeevitham ... Ethinte okke edayilaaanu chila nainte makkal paaarayum kuruttu budhiyumai jeevikkune ...."
" Da enikku viswasikkan pattanilla . Randu divasam munpu kanda angeru "
alian continued " Ente tottu munpil angeerude recordaanu .."
Paranjathu thanne veendum veendum njangal paranju. parachilukalkoduvil padichu ethra paranju padichaalum manasinu manasilaakunna onnalla jeevitham ennu..
I tried to remain calm. but cant . Nishant called . He said "Enthu urappadey oru jeevanullathu ".
Hari called . Aravind called .
Abhijith called. He told Abino one of our school mate now in Tri medical college was there on casuality duty . He got the body . From Id card he recognized him as cetian and called abhijith . I talked and talked and still fought to adjust with reality .Tears never came out of my eyes. But it was hard to believe such a thing. I told mom. She became so upset.
I sat on chair.. School magazine was there on table.. I just turned its pages .
I saw.. Veedanikkilum veedanipikkilum
Venamee snehabhandhangal uuyiyil .
I asked myself
Is these relations a weakness or a strength. The greatest question i've ever met . !!
Among thousands of joyful college memories. one deep cut sorrow.
Lets pray.. Let his soul be in peace ..
