Lil Memoirs from Back Then

Not long since we all got together and settled in as a team. When this happened, there were apparently many sleepless nights and lots of heated discussions and discoveries of known stuff going on.. Reinventing the problem wheel and we were literally fuming furiously :) Thats where IT-R was born. The Rebellions. Well, its not as hasty as it sounds. Its just a small group of jugheads who sat together and came to an agreement that an enemy to an enemy is our friend. As simple as that.

But slowly we picked up pace amongst us and it before we could realise we gelled in as a proper final year set :). wah wat a pleasure to know that u can walk into class and not dream about when to get out of it. It seriously was a turn table for me as this was kind of reincarnation of a college life which almost dipped deep down misery lane.

But yes, on the brighter side we guys did some great internal work. We cracked all our stress (Dunno from where :)) through computer peripherals such as switch, hub, lan cables which enabled us hard core gaming... Almost every other nite to the snack bar as a big bunch of buffaloes for nite drench :)... Going out in time table order to Kaiyendhi bhavan / Ganapathy mess / Leiden / occasionally Boomerang & Arunachalas :) for dinner.. Eat like flood hit victims :)... Then the most unforgettable part was the sleepless nites we spent before internals where we would look at Meenakshi/Karthika's notes in complete awe and amazement :) That we did sit thru so many classes, yet grasp so little.

There was also one day that i would like to especially recall. This was a particular weekend where there was a sudden surge in the weather conditions and our star sportsmen changed their minds about the game that was gonna be played in the last minute. And before the champs could make up their mind, it started to drizzle.. Then all idiots locked their PCs and rolled out to the small ground with the FOOTBALL. Waah.. unforgettable. Us vs. Sandwich fellows who already were playing. Then we challenged them like Vadivelu as our head count was low. But who cares, "We are the unleashed tigers in hunt of its prey" was the attitude. And so was the attitude with Rain. It poured real hard on us and so did we up the tempo in the game. It was such a wet hot game :) We had Kini, Hari, Arun, Bharat, Arul and Jeffrey was with his books then I guess :)

P.S. Dont ask about the score or the end result. All i remember was my mobile phone was squirking water like a pump after the game.!

  6. And u know somethin meenakshi / prathy.. Its not about the gender. Maybe yes u guys did not have nite outs or the liberty to live the gaming arcade kind of life..

    But urs also had an edge to it, when there is a group more than 2, u can eventually figure a way out to EASILY have fun and u know somethin.. I ll tell u a good example of fun!

    3rd year, I took my best frens to my native Aravayal which LITERALLY has only 4 streets and few shops by the road selling groceries. Its a typical Nagarathar village. We guys spent a nite there and u know wat - no tv, no music, no cool place to hang out.

    All we did was sit around the vaasal and chat about golden days and pulling each others legs nd basically just having a feel good time..! see how simple tat is.. That has no gender problem, time restriction, or any unusual constraints..
