College - Life had new dimensions, with new friends and new problems. We seemed to have too many issues, too little money, and too much work (little did we know then that we were in for a lifetime of REAL work later!!). But one thing we had no dearth of were good friends.....
- The toughest girl in the batch was my 'best friend' - she knew how to give a mean glare and whip up admirable one-liners (V.P. - love you!!)... and she was my guardian angel!!
- This other lady K.. with a formidable faith her career choice (she wanted to be a chef - and she did become one!!)
- And yet another one with a profound clarity of thoughts ... she knew what she wanted, where she was going, and I have NEVER seen her hassled..(T.G or S.G...hope you finalised the name)
- And the lady with a golden voice and towering height (A.P.)... both qualities had many admirers...
Here again, the men aren't far behind - the seniors first: the guy with an ape walk and cute smile who has a fantastic view to life's hurdles, the guy with light eyes and a heart of gold (he did not rag anyone..), the chap who scared the daylights out of us, but became a favourite with many of us... and many more who inducted us into the world of hospitality with PDP (Personality development programmes !!) and fun!
- And from my own class there was this garrulous chap who joined the hotel management course to become a pilot (yeah! we thought it was wierd too!)- who incidentaly kept every last bencher in splits (G.N. I know you will kill me for this!!)
- the guy who literally, wouldn't kill an ant (S.V.)....
- the guy who topped the whole damn country in the finals and yet, is far away from being a nerd!!(A.B.)......
- the guy whose height matched his sense of humour and who I guess was the favourite with everyone in the opposite sex(A.N. I see you grinning!)
- the shy chap who can tuck away a couple of pints of beer and a factory-full of cigarettes and still be standing (U.M. has lost a lot of weight proving he has determination if he wants....).
-The guy who would take one look at me and declare war against womakind (P- is one of my close buddies now, and his son, all of 3, just ADORES women!!....
- The soft spoken, assertive guy (J.G. caused mass heart attacks during our group trip when he nearly drowned) who writes up a charm in our group site and has a fanatstic sense of humour...
- this real good friend who feigned stupidity (called Jim Carrey of the class) the whole 3 years, only to be proclaimed as the person with the highest IQ in campus interviews...he went on to prove it by joining IIM....
- This true Mumbaikar (S.I.)- Mallu who spoke every language like it was English
- This friend who was, with me, the butt of jokes for speaking a dialect tinted with a faraway region!! (S.N. and A.A.)
- A chap who has turned out to be the ace event manager of the group!! (hats off, S.N.)
Happy Diwali all of you ...... am truly blessed to have known you all!!
