My Life @ College..

Felt about writing this a long time ago but dunno whether work kept me busy or something else.
Renju talked to me and he was almost into thrashing me for not starting it. He knows once I start scribbling I will not stop until I finish it.So here I am from the beginning where everything started.

Actually the real problem was where do I start. I think that was the biggest hurdle in front of me, which never let me begin.Beginning was the hurdle to begin.ha ha ha....Lemme give it a try....I will start from Day one and will go back to flashback whenever it is needed.. OK guys here it is....

Day One: Jan 6th 2000...

May be the biggest day of my life.Dad was with me. It was early morning and we were at Kozhikode(Calicut) railway station.We came from TVM by Kannur Express. Dad was posted at TVM. Actually for the first time I heard about Mananthavady when my admission letter came and I was totally clue less about where it came on the map of Kerala. Anyways I am going there only, will see it then. We reached Calicut bus Station(KSRTC), and boarded the only Super Express Bus for Mananthavady. So that's how my first Journey started towards my college.
We reached mananthavady 3 hrs later. The Driver was kind enough to stop the bus near college stop, this stop is really gonna be popular with time.

We walked towards the college. A big building was in my sight and I thought who said this is a new college. No way. We headed for the steps and as we reached top I was quite amused to see the big building, but dad shrugged and said there's your college. I saw a small Board in which it was written GECW. Oh this is it, now it lives up to the reputation of a newly started Govt. college. We went to college office and finished all the formalities and I was given a admission number of 147, may be one of the last persons to join the college.

Now as the formalities finished(admission), next task was to search for an accommodation. We went to The Royal CSE class, and there's Arun and Rengith standing at the corridors. My dad asked about the room and they said their room is already filled and it will be difficult to study if number of persons increase. That gave me the outlook of this college.. Truly professional ,students really serious about studies.. Can't stop myself laughing while writing this coz this is the first comedy I encountered in the college.(Rengith n Arun) will definitely laugh.I doubt whether Renju was there with them... anyhow will comeback to this incident later coz it's gonna be used a lot here....

By the evening we got an accommodation. It was in Thonichaal..@ Paul sir rental house and I got some cool new roommates... Jyothish,Sanoop,Sreejith,Umesh,Jishad, Baburaj and now I am added to their group(I dunno whether they liked me on the first meeting itself but definitely the first meeting was the start of a lifelong bond). After the formal round of introduction we were soon on the same boat... Dad left by evening, and this is gonna be first time I am seperated from my family altogether but I was already a part of another family. I thought about mama. She never left me out of her sight even for one day, I dunno how is she gonna react to this. She cried bitterly when I left. So I was in a bit of dilemma, whether to celebrate the new Freedom or should worry about mama. But slowly I got adjusted as I was in new family and they were just superb.Our home was a perfect Second home for me.

Sandeep and Binu Kumar lived nearby and soon Sandeep joined me in my room. And the family was completed....Next day i.e my first day @ college as a student:
Water was chilling cold, it was so hard to take a bath, still I manage it somehow and we were on our way to College...I dunno whether I got any attention when I first entered the class, but that was soon to follow...Met Ajith, Renju, Sivaji, Rengith, Arun and it was just fun as we had same sort of frequency tuning....Dont remember much of the classes that were taken on that day except one from Mr. Nisar. I remember he used to be HOD(Head of the Department) but it didnt took long enough for us to believe he was the real HOD. Hey guys hope you can fill up that full form, I dont want to protray anyone on this blog. I am just gonna write how it went in college......

So I will just start with some major incidents or what it can be called a Milestone of some sort...
(Guys it's not easy to write everything at a single stretch.. I will pin up regularly and each event mentioned below will lead you to a link describing that.. so keep this link in your bookmarks and visit frequently)... Comments are most welcome coz it'z natural I am gonna miss something so help me fill up the gaps and put up your thoughts too.....I am looking forward to it :)

Happy reading buddies....

Cloud Number-9...oh .. It's Countless...........

Clouds are my favorites...Dunno why but may be from the fact that they keep on changing and each and every time they dazzle me with their new shapes...Actually one thing can be learned from them.. they have come for rains and to give us a cover from scorching sun.. And they do it regardless of what shape they actually are.. So it doesn't matter how you look or how you appear all you need is to give everyone your best...I just love clouds and whenever I am with my cam I will make it sure it will have some distinct shapes of them. Sunrise , sunset. the blue sky all keep me busy with capturing them every time..

From all my previous journeys(with my cam) this time it was a bit different. Usually I travel by train and that gives me all the time in a day to catch up with them(clouds).. This time it was different coz this time I was not below them but I was actually flying among them, above them and eyes of my cam saw the unseen part of them i.e the other side,which we dont see from down below from earth.... So I was quite excited and my cam knew it's gonna have a tough time.

A morning flight from Mumbai to Chennai was good enough to get some morning picture of them...and the window seat was just perfect for the launch... It was an Indian Airlines plane and after 22 years I am flying with them again. I still had memories of my first flight travel when i was just 5.. The trip was just superb and I quite enjoyed my time.(But I missed those bunch of chocolates with the meals). So my flight got queued up for getting access to the busiest runway in India. Soon the throttle was on and the wings started shivering( I just thought that may be some bolts may be loose..)and I started imagining things..dunno when the flight was airborne and it cruised at good speed as I watched those big buildings getting tinier...



I was thrilled to get into the clouds(may be on the cloud number 9).. It was so beautiful that I cant express it in words.. Everyone visualizes the beauty but along with that I wanted to capture them in my small box... The vast blue sky with infinite number of pillows to sleep on....that was the way it looked..




I dunno when I started clicking but it was a continues process and I dont remember putting my head on the head rest.. "Sir your breakfast is here", the cabin crew interrupted. At first I hated that voice but when I turn around to see , I couldn't took my eyes of her. Hey, guys now please don't imagine things. She was almost 40 years old with no makeups at all and wearing a printed Saree... She looked so pleasant and with that smile on her face I was almost drawn to pull out my meal seat and accepting the tray. I finished it ASAP and she was again there to make my coffee wonderful. After I was done with my coffee she helped me out with the tray..Beauty inside and outside the flight !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!( my cam got a time to take a nap so guys it didn't took any snap of her :) :) )............

And then my cam took the center stage clicking non stop and getting all those clouds inside. The wing (actually the right side wing) was quite rocking whenever the flight approached turbulence. Waves of clouds, Single clouds, lot of shapes Clouds, Clouds everywhere but not a cloud to touch.. :(.....


I wished I cud touch them. They were just indescribable.

Among the clouds, in the blue sky,
I felt as if heaven flew by.................
High above from the earth it fly,
Got it too late,I wondered why......

Every time I was down there,
I used to stare at them from everywhere....
With innumerable faces it travel,
Leaving me all down there to marvel....

Watching them fly right below,
Feeling like a bird high above,
With a bed of cushion to comfort,
Now I was up here with them to stay afloat...

And the Journey continues...... as it always does..........
