Another funny (ironic) tale from College.

Caution:

1. Intended to be taken in a lighter sense.

2. Those who know the characters here are asked to keep their mouth shut.

3. My intention is not to make fun of the people but to show you all the lighter part of it.

4. This post is the result of my blogging mood which was outa topics to write on.

Okay... Lemme describe it in short.

First semester of Engineering. As you all might know, mine was the first batch. We had no seniors. Guess it was the second month of the semester. I got down from the bus and was walking towards the college to find two of my batchmates (none from my stream) quarelling with each other. Both of them were from the same locality. We could see them quarrelling with their drafters... (as knives??)

Swearing was superfluous. All the ninn **** na k*** (you can substitute anything for those asterisks) I was wondering for their creative scoldings. Few of my batchmates went ahead, grabbed both of them and seperated them while they were angrily kickin each other.

On investigation, we found the reason why. Both of them were in love (aaaaah!!) with the same girl. To add onto the complexity, even she was from the same locality and was the classmate of one of the quareller. I'm not here to describe that girl but the general notion built on that girl was that she is a devil when it comes to looks though she was good academically.

Both of them didnt speak to each other for months. Things went cooler later on and they began talking to each other. May be they were still secretly admiring the girl??!! I dont know. I dunno whether the girl knew all this quarelling stuff. I was least bothered to know. Nothing serious happened after this till we finished college.

If it was just this, I wouldnt have blogged it. After all, why would I?

Gotto know some facts after my college and hence this post.

I had a collegue in my office who came from the same school as the girl in this story came from. I need not mention that he was also from the same locality. He claimed to be notorious in the class sometimes and had teased this girl for bossing over the classmates for no reason. He and his gang wanted to teach her a lesson and teased her to hell. They made her cry several times. Well again the notion about the girl's look was almost the same as we had in our college.

Someday we had discussed about his school and his classmates. We had a lot of friends in common who came out from that school. While we were talking about our friends, the topic of this girl came and he described the way they teased that girl. I mentioned about the way two of my batchmates quarreled to love the same girl. He was laughing for a long while listening to this. He was wondering who would want to love that devil(??).

Though he was kinda mischievious, he used to get news of all his classmates. One day he said that the girl is getting married. He was wondering who was that bakra? Though I guess he went to the marriage. I dunno whether these quarrellers knew about the marriage.

Things moved forward. My collegue joined another company. One of the quarrelers who was also the girl's classmate joined the same company. They used to commute from the same cab and got to know each other. After the initial phase of friendship, my ex-collegue got to know that latter was my batchmate. He started discussing about me, our college, the discussed incidents I had told him.

One day, this conversation took place:

Collegue: Hey maga! do you know that girl?

Batchmate: Yes. She was my classmate.

C: Maga! we used to tease her a lot in school. She was full of attitude. Full scope ತೊಗೊತಿದ್ದ್ಲು maga!

B: Oh! is it? hu maga! She had that attitude.

C: Matte lo, Sandesh was telling that two of your batchmates quarrelled just to love her. I dont know maga? ಆ ಮೂತಿನೂ ಲವ್ ಮಾಡ್ಬೇಕು ಅನ್ನ್ಸತ್ತೇನೋ? ನಂಗಂತೂ ನಗು ತಡಿಯಕ್ಕಾಗ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅವನ್ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದ ಕೇಳಿ. (Does anyone feel live loving that creature? I couldnt stop laughing once he said that.)

B: (baffled) ಹು ಮಗ! ಅಂಥವರು ಇದ್ದರು ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ ಅಲ್ಲಿ. (Yeah buddy! we had such studs in our college.)

After this conversation, both of them had called me. First was my ex-collegue.

C: ಮಗಾ! B ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ. ಅವ್ನು ಈಗ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಂಪನಿ ಸೇರ್ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ. (Dude! I had met B, he works for our company now)
Sandesh: ಹೌದಾ ಮಗ? ಒಳ್ಳೇದು. (Oh Is it? good.)
C: ನಿನ್ನ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲ ಮಾತಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದ್ವಿ. (we talked about you, your college n stuff)
Sandesh: ಲೋ, ಅಂದಹಾಗೆ ಅವ್ನೆ ಕಣೋ ಆ ಹುಡುಗಿ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಜಗಳ ಮಾಡ್ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು. (btw, he was the quarreler on that girl's issue)
C: ಹೌದಾ ಮಗ?ಲೋ, ಅವಳ್ ವಿಷಯ ಎಲ್ಲ ಮಾತಾಡಿ ಆ ಜಗಳ ಮಾಡಿದೊವ್ರ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ನಗಾಡಿದ್ವಲ್ಲೋ? (Shit man! Is it? I laughed like hell on that issue buddy!!)
.........

After another 15 minutes, B had called me pretending casual. He just told me that he was working with my ex-collegue. ranted for a while (I could sense, kinda self pity, guilty conciousness in his voice) He never spoke a word on that girl's issue episode.

I was laughing once he cut the call.

Things move further, B got married last year. But whenever I meet my ex-collegue and talk abt this incident, we would be laughing like hell.

That ends the irony.

Is it the good old college days???

When I look at many of my friends album on social network sites like orkut, I see people attach their photos of college along with their friends and say "The good old college days!"

Huh! Whats the whole point in sayin that n not making a point to meet your collegemates at regular intervals?

Many of my friends, looking at some of my posts comment that "Maga! You made me recollect my college days!" I never feel like mentioning that coz I dont find any difference between my college days and these days where I'm working. ( Apart from the work (pathetic thing i do almost every weekday, sometimes even on weekend!) Hmph!)

I regularly meet my friends just like any other daily routine. Some of them, I meet almost everyday. Some of them once in a fortnight n some other lazy guys atleast once in a month. There are also friends whom i never meet because of their ego problems. Its not that I don't want to meet them. Its THEIR problem.

But still I almost remember them everyday. Its like what they call "Praathah smaraneeyaru" (Those who are supposed to be remembered once you get up!) I recollect atleast 6-8 of my friends everyday whom I'm in contact every week. I dont want to take names.

Even if I purposefully ask them about this, most of them reply saying, "Magaa! We've got lotsa work @ office! No time for friends! It would be great once we reach home asap. Whenever we egt some time, we wish to sleep!" Hmm! No comments on this.

So, the whole point is,

There is no sense in posting in a blog with a pic of their college n mates n say my good old college days. Neither in any social networking site. It should be in your soul to remember those who made your life worth living. ( Now don't bring in philosophy by sayin why should be life worth living always! I want this post to be lite! No philosophy intended. Will write about philosophy when i feel like. I belong to the same category if you are thinking in this direction)

Keep visiting your friends whenever you get some free time. Or rather make some time for your friends. I'm not asking you to reject all your work and compulsorily meet your friends. If you think you really are busy make a point to call 'em n discuss casually about some stupid stuff for atleast 5 minutes. You'll find the difference in you as well as your friend. He'll really feel good about your friends. (Though there might be friends who will be close even when they do not meet for years. Not many are like that.) You'll feel relieved and will be able to finish your work much better. Try it out!

Another evening in Bangalore!!

Dont be embarassed by the title!

I've not gone outside Bangalore to say the above statement. It was another lonely evening i spent interestingly. Just another one like this.

Had been to 'Geleya' yesterday with Raghu, Susheema n Karadi. I'm doin Masti Venkatesh Iyengar's 'Chikaveera Rajendra'. Thought of taking a break from it while Raghu called me up today for a meet up. As usual, I was ready n started by 10 minutes.

While reached bus stand, I got a message from him askin me to start 15 minutes late. As I was outa house, I replied that I would just roam around here and there till he comes. We agreed and I got a bus to Majestic.

Thought of gettin down at Guttahalli, calling Yogesh passing time till Raghu comes to Beagules. Called to his cell to find his dad answer the call askin me to call up landline. I said I'll call up but didnt as I got another call from Hemanth. By now I was at Mekhri, and the Kaveri Signal was all the way till the Gayatri Vihar entrance. I got down right there thinkin of walkin my way to Malleshwara.

Was speaking to Hemanth for 10 minutes while i had crawled 100 steps ahead of the Corporation Bank, Sadashivanagar when we ended the call agreein for a long call late at night. I cut the call to find an anonymous asking path towards Malleshwara 18th cross. I thought i got a company till 18th cross and changed my route for him.

He had come to Sadashivanagar for personal work and was heading back to his room at Dasarahalli, Peenya. On our way we spoke about each other regarding many things. He was basically from Beluru, Hassana. I was just queryin about things there and his qualification n stuff like that. We shared many of our thoughts on the city. I didnt find my way to 18th cross end so quickly. Thats what happens when you get a company. We walked around the semi-circle of Sankey Tank from Sadashivanagar to 18th Cross. I asked him more about Hassana and its near by places. According to him, even there, you find people from outside intruding. Pathetic!



We then reached the gate towards 18th Cross and bid goodbye! No phone number, no contact. It will be good only with such short encounters which makes you feel happy!

I now headed to Beagules, I took the photo of a herd of cattles you find at the 16th cross! I just find myself dumbstruck looking at them! Dunno why??!!

Came to beagules, where I always find something new or something strange (or both!!??). to my usual senses, I found a person sitting all alone and drooling! It was about 5:15 and he was drunk by that time to the fullest!





Dunno where these people live and what they do for their living! Have lots of pics of such men and will dedicate a post for them asap! Here I'm attaching the one whom I found at beagules. Pathetic guy!! Was in his own world and was not disturbing others. That was the best part! I just climbed 4 stairs above him and started waiting for Raghu n others watching some of them play Basketball in the ground!


Was watchin the matches played as always and waited for Raghu to come meanwhile, had called Raghu, Seena to come asap for which Raghu said that he is with PG and it would take 1/2 an hour for him to come! He suggested me to call Seena or Yogesh and ask them to accompany me till he comes! Which i had already done. Seena wasn't pickin up the phone and Yogi as his behaviour would take long to come to beagules from Guttahalli! (We call him Slomotion, the late lateef).

I continued watchin boys n girls busy playin basketball! I recollected that I was really bad at outdoor games and had never been to such grounds to play anything! also, in my childhood, the most popular game we used to play was Cricket, sometimes Kabaddi, Lagori, Jootaata, Kalla Police, Lock and Key, Chood Chand n stuff like that! These days such things are dissappearing quite drastically! Desi Games should be protected! Everyone is behind Globalization! They prefer playin Basketball, bowling, n other stuff!

It was 6 and there were no signs of anybody! I called some now and then to find a busy tone! 6:15, there arrived a short figure below the steps where I was sitting! Was wearing helmet, a sweater, looked similar to Daksha! Was astonished to see him come uninvited and with no clue! He looked at me! 75% of my mind confirmed me that it was Daksha, but the rest 25% was true! It was a similar figure! Here is a pic of him taken without him noticing it!


He saw me! Think even he thought that I was waiting for him! He might have mistaken me for someone he knows. He came closer, saw me and recognized that he doesn't know me and sat 5 feet away from me. Even he was waiting for somebody (Male for sure which I found out by his conversation over phone). He waited just like me calling his friends. I was happy that there are people just like me waiting for their late lateef friends who do not time themselves).

When all this happened, the lousy guy next to me was awake and was tryin to find something from his pockets. After a long search, he found a motbeedi (small beedi), lit it and was enjoyin smoking! Even the guy who sat next to me lit a cigarette and was busy smoking! I choked teice for the smoke, called up Raghu asking about his location to which he replied, he was still in Jayanagar and it would take still 15 more minutes for him to move from there! PG had a meet up with his cousin and that was delayin things. Meanwhile, Seena had called up and said that he woke up just then and he wouldn't be able to make it that day! So I asked Raghu to take his time but I would leave as it was 6:30 and he would come late! He agreed and I walked my way back to Guttahalli looking at two of my silent unknown companions for the evening that day!

You just experience such things without doing any significant thing but you feel something strange entering your mind after such incidents! It just depicts the simplicity one can find in LIFE. How beautiful would things be when things are simple right?? Think about it!

Nothin much after that! Just walked my way back to Guttahalli bus stand, took a bus without a board to find its a KSRTC bus and BMTC passes are not allowed. Got down at Kaveri signal, walked back towards Guttahalli bus stand, found another bus and headed my way back to home!
There was a satisfaction in my heart for the simple experience I had that day!

Just can't forget this!

Long time! no blog!

Though i had many topics to blog on, i even encountered many problems also! Unfortunately i couldnt give prominence to blog, n had to concentrate on work! Cant help it!

Here I am, once again, to blog with a topic which has made me to blog even though i have lots to do at office! I am so waiting to blog it out! Cant keep it any longer within me!

Had been to mysore last friday once again! Though i had promised that i would blog my first trip to mysore, i couldnt coz of the same reasons!

I wouldnt blog on my whole trip to mysore! It would be a huge post! ( Will blog it as soon as possible, making time ), These days i'm not blogging much frequently! Just posting once in a month which i feel is very bad! I had some mails n scraps from my friends asking me to blog! I would reply that i will blog and never made up my mind to blog! But not today! I am waiting to blog! Just chuck the thing outa my mind! Dunno how you take it but here it goes... Do post comments if you have any!

As I had said previously, had been to mysore bunking office! ( At last! Feelin happy like a baby fo that! ) That was one of the trip i'll never forget! Though many of my friends couldnt make it, me, Raghu n Prashanth went to mysore to meet Sucheet! Will blog more about it! Had loads of fun!

Coming to the bloggin topic, we had been to Kalidasa rasthe(K.D.Road) near gokula! Thats equivalent to brigades of Bangalore according to many mysoreans! Its just an adda for many young teenagers n students! We went there just to pass time till 9 as we had planned to go to Chamundi betta after that! (Everytime i stayed in mysore, i never missed a beat to chamundi hills during night! Its really awesome at that time! Try it out to get a feel for it! Thanks to Sucheet n all the members of Kopple gang! (Shukla, Pavan, Preetham, Prashant, Santosh, et al) Though the bad thing is i have never been to the temple atop! :-( ) Its hardly a kilometer away from Sucheet's room!

Just got down after parking the car in front of HSBC bank! The tradition in our gang is to just watch babes ( as they call it! ) though i was not interested in such things! Its not that our gang was bad! They had no bad intentions n were just coming to pass time! We were just strollin ( just some 10 - 20 stepsahead of the parkin lot! ). Dusk! Around 6:30! All we saw were the faded images in the setting sun and the dim street lights just lightened up! Now, we saw a female walkin with her mom! Decent, elegant, un-egoistic, well dressed! Add on as many adjectives as you want! ( I hardly use such adjectives as they are relative! You might not see me using them, but i dont know, i somehow feel like using it! ) I somehow got interested as others and just looked at her! Everybodywere just watching her! Now comes the best part! She saw us staring at her! She just looked at me n just smiled! A plain, pure, friendly smile! Now that was not even the last thing I expected from her! I smiled back in same fashion! she walked away n I took my way!

This is all that happened! But I couldnt keep quiet! I kept on analysing it! Of all the anonymous females i've seen, that too of my age none of them had smiled at me for the first time! A girl with her mom beside, givin a smile of contention to an anon male of her own age is not something I had ever seen and expected! I was impressed by the way things happened! Hats off to her parents n the way they brought her up! Throwing a smile for a smile! What a good way to communicate! ( may be I'm elaborating too much here, but I'm feelin like writing more n more about it! ). Every female i accidentally stare while walking, commuting in bus, or whatever, used to just curse, take a different route or take scope ( in local slang! hehe!! ), feel shy (orthodox females) or do something other than smiling back! This was probably the first such incident with an anonymous female! That might be the reason for my happiness! I had many such experiences with males (now one of my best friends).

Though we had communicated just less than 5 seconds, she had left an un-erasable impression on me! (Not the ugly thought what you are thinking! I liked her attitude! I consider her one of my good n best friend from whom i learnt a very good part of life! ). I dont know her name, neither any details about her!
( I dont care to know! ) but I feel so elated just by thinking about her! You feel so good! You need to experience such a thing by yourself to get the feel for it! I just cant come outa it! She had given me something I'll never forget!

My friends, if they look at this post will add on another name into their teasing list! Hehe! Big deal! Let them! I always liked them teasing me! I dont know what name they give! Some have already started teasing( looking at my gmail caption)!

I just ask one question to all of them! "Cant there be any other relationship between a male n a female other than love???" This is just one such relationship which i consider is pure, unselfish friendship!

No matter what, this will be one of the things I'll ever remember in my life! This post is dedicated to her!

The dream that i cant forget!

I'm sittin on the scooter in front of my house riding! My friend, Ashoka on the pillion seat as a traveller! We are playing a game where i'm the bus driver and he is the passenger! After a round, i'll be the pillion rider and he'll be the rider! Simple game!

Ours was a Gang of Six during sundays! Me, my sister(Shubha), My cousins Chaitanya n Chinmaya and our neighbours Deepak a.k.a deepu and Ashok casually called ashoka! Once sunday comes we used to meet n play things like cricket, lock n key, Eye Spies(previously mis-understood as ice pies! Hehe! =D ) or some other game! We used to have pure, genuine fun every week! (gone are those days in midst of this corporate Shit). Cant help it! You need to pass all stages!

It was a gang of four on the days we had school! My cousins were stayin @ Hebbal n were meeting us only during holidays! Me, Akka, Deepu n Ashoka! We were finishing our homework as early as possible and were off to play! Somedays where we had a more of homework, we used to play first and then do our homework! Will blog more on my childhood days more often!

That day when ashoka n i were playin, akka hadnt come from school yet! She had an extra class to attend and Deepu wasnt home yet! Dunno why??!!

So, myself n ashoka started to play "Bus aata". I was riding the parked scooter making sounds "Brum brum burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" and was involved in the play when suddenly a gurkha from nowhere entered! All these days, gurkhas were just roaming here n there just to maintain things n i was wondering why he entered our house??

While i was thinking this, he came to us and clutched our neck! He grabbed my neck while he was about to catch ashoka's neck, he just escaped from it by a fraction of a second! He started running! But i was still gasping! He had a perfect grip on my neck! I was not able to move! Forget moving, i was not able to take my breath! I was struggling like hell! Was tryin to scream but couldnt! Even though my instincts took control of my body, it was of no use!

I dont know what was his purpose! To my surprise nobody is there in the vicinity! None of my family members were there! Even this ashoka dint come to me or bring in anyone! I was feeling that i would die! Was studying first standard i guess! Couldn't think of any such thing at that stage! I was literally gasping for breath!

It was 6:30 a.m! Appa and amma were already awake and were watchin me holdin my throat and tryin to scream! They were not knowin what was happening to their kid! I was struggling to take my breath on bed! Suddenly Appa just shook me off and i was outa my dream!

Aaah! What a sigh of relief! It was just a dream! But still i was horrified by that! Appa amma started asking questions as to what happed to me?? Why was i so scared?? I explained them the whole thing and they consoled me! "Lo! Eno neenu?? Kansigella heeg hedrkotheeyallo?? Hedrpukla!" (For english readers, Hey! Why do you get so scared of dreams??) was the reply from my sister! Finally i was alright!

That was the only dream i remember having and couldnt ever forget! I wrote reading a post on Shruthi's blog!

Now for the tagging part! I ask these people to write on dreams!

1.Shrinidhi, as his views are good to read!
2.Donald, for his wierd dreams!
3.Srinivas, dunno why! Tagging just for the purpose of tagging
4.Tejus, he is a dreamer!
5.Akshay, for his sarcastic views!

Though all dream while sleeping, i wont get any dream(rather i dont remember or whatever!). It might be because i wont compromise my sleep with my engagement! I sleep to the fullest! Let us see who all will continue this tagging thing!

Sso long till i post on another topic!
