Life's little ironies....
It's funny how when you are right there at some place and some instant, you are just a part of a scene playing your part well..and it doesnt look all that special...seems like just some usual drab..but few days,months or years down the lane, you think abt those trivial moments and suddenly u start to miss it and cherish it...
As I sit here in my lab today wondering how a darn CDMA correlator reciever would work for a good timing estimate, I am somehow reminded of my good old college days..! Ya thats what u call a scatter-brain, I know..
How much has changed in these few years! Now when I look back at my first yr college days, I can only smile at how 'innocent' I was..Its funny how the seniors branded me a snob just coz I came from 'chennai' ...how much I got ragged in college and in hostel and in train ...how I cried when some one from the men's hostel teased me when I walked to college ...how much fun we had at the ladies hostel inspite of the 6:30p.m. curfew time...the long dinners we had at the not-so-clean 'mess'...the crappy food that we fought for...the night-long 'manga' sessions...how pri made me cry by signing 'Nobody's child', how much she rocked my bed at nights just coz she was at the top of the bunker bed and she'd move and the whole bed would shake..how much Gopika and I fought ...how much we got teased with some random 'irritating' 'boys...the tech'pillaiyar' koil..the 'bajji' kadadi, sunday afternoons 'icecream' thatha...the games we played with our supervisor ma'm that we called 'stupid suuupee' ......how Kalpana mam caught us when she came for roll call and found out room not-so-clean...Intrams dance :D for 'night train'.....how we bitched abt the warden...me n divy came late from Riverside cafe and escaped the 'big' enquiry, the numerous 'pampered and luxurious' salem trips to divy'a place...'shakthi madhavan' pranks....tech trophy yelling.....PT classes for the heck of it....chris friend games and all the pranks...notes passing in class...getting caught with SJ, our dept HOD now...the miserable exams we have whenever EEE has common courses with us....making fun of 'Amudhavalli' mam and her sareee....not to forget the app chem sir 'Murugavel' the biggest jolls ever, 3rd yr project that turned out more like 'golu' coz of the huge 'house model' that we built, the IVs we had which were so much fun inspite of the profs watching us closely like teh guys and girls were just waiting to make-out...the kodaikanal 'beedi' bet ....the class big 'guys-girls' fight...me n lancer going 4 0'clock 'hunt' ....'NMB' bets...start of final yr blues..final yr IV with a rather disappointing faculty...the bitchy Shubha Rani...placements...frustartion..then the happiness....GRE..Ooty trip...LOOOOOOng chats with SRT...Bugging Selvi with 'U Sat' of her class', fighting with gandhi and the tiruppur trip with her, Nithya s stay at my place during the 2 months of internship, waking Raji up from her ever-lasting sleepiness...'leaving college blues' ...2 O'clock cup O noodles..Feb 14th incidents....lesser classes ..more movies...zillion coffees at the canteen .....IM parking lot...tech booth...Tech koil every day..Caramel, that became popular in our final yr, Jr's that came in our first yr and didnt thrive coz of its rather classy look...Famous Arya's sambar vadai when we are broke...that zillions time I lent /borrowed money..those that were till date not settled...:) ......Browns...Aby's cafe... Final Yr Dance and the fight that followed, the colorful clothes that we wore for the dance, Final yr project with Paul n Gopika, the surprising best project award...the crank calls that we got...
Intercollege cultural's and Dumb C's ...Mary Browns..the 'eventful' Feb 13th 'Pure N Natural's' episode...Bluebells...Tech Day...Koorathalvar...Farewell....Convocation...saty at Arthi's place....Vj's house...final bye at Station...n then a lot of crying n crying and more crying.....
well, till this day ...I can still sit and think for hrs together abt the 4 wonderful yrs I spent at PSG and write about it and yet not enough might be written abt all the times I spent there..and every single moment that passed there..every single thing that I did there...the place , the people, the time, the incidents all of them put together make those 4 yrs the best days of my life...if you separate even one in the above, the 4 yrs become rather meaningless...
I know I can't be back there..the only way I can get close to revisiting it is when I do things like this..BLOG!! I feel so good to have taken a quick 15 min break to have gone back to the good old, care-free and the happiest days of my life! Gosh..how much they mean to me..:)
CDMA beckons...Correlator receiver..Timing Estimate...Back to the present..Hopefully someday in future when today would be past, it would be cherishable too...ya hope!
