Bye Bye 2010

The end of 2010 is almost here. Finally!

So let us start the new year on a happy note :D


Happy New Year ppl :)

P.S : The man in the picture is Wilbur Sargunaraj, the music sensation. I have decided to start the new year by watching his songs on youtube :D

"Chicken? Ewww" - SOS 2.1

Semester 2
Chapter 2 : Chicken? Ewww

First a kutty flashback. We go to 2006 when am doing my 12th.
(Just roaming around my house)
Me : What's for dinner? 
Mom : Today Sunday na. So chicken.
Me : Chicken a? Chi. Am skipping lunch today then.
Mom : You can eat Maggi. Like you do every Sunday.
Me : But I can't even stand the smell. Its disgusting.
Mom : Adjust one day.

Okay next we go back to 2008 when am in my 2nd semester. 
Me and my friend Vishnu go out to eat.
(looking at the menu)
Vishnu : What you want?
Me : I donno. Anything is ok man.
Vishnu : Seri. We ll take the chicken fried rice and the chicken biriyani.
Me : Add chicken manjurian too.
Vishnu : Vokay.

Well this conversion from being a pure vegetarian to a eating-chicken-everytime-I-go-out is solely thanks to hanging out with a group of friends who I guess have never eaten veg anytime they went out. 
Also to Bismi and the local mall where we go to eat at least once a week.

How I Met My Friends - SOS 2 to 8

Semester 2-8

Everyone in college has their own "gang" (unless you are like Surya who keeps jumping from one group to another never truly fitting in anywhere or like Viswa who is simply present in all gangs). If am gonna write about my college life, I should be writing about the people with whom I have spent a lot of time with. So here goes.


A Man United fan, a gifted poet, one of the few to watch English TV serials and vague movies like the Machinist (which is a true master piece), loads of online FIFA via Hamachi meant we had plenty to talk during the long lecture hours. 
Impulsively sarcastic and a true somberi, the dude shows an uncanny ability in keeping his spirits high. This post probably describes him best. Apart from being one of my closest friends, he has done a spectacular job as my shrink :D
Oh ya, the dude has a real life story that would put most tamil movies to shame.

 
A cousin of sorts, Sarvesh is a stand up guy and best described by the word 'decent'. Despite coming from a seriously loaded family (He once said, in full earnest, "Pocket money la bike vaangirla. Aana my family won't let me drive it"), he wants to start a company fully on his own. Baffling, you know. Co-founder of TOSSHe has given me plenty of advice on a specific area of interest which I have mostly never followed. 
And ya, a famous tamil movie is more or less based on his real life story :P
 
Sowmy Narayan aka Ironman :D
 
The geek of the group, Sowmy (ya some boys also have that name :P ) is a rare specimen indeed. This lanky dude is clever, witty and amusive. A true connoisseur of sarcasm, his ability to grasp even the most subtle meanings of a conversation is unbelievable. The dude reads novels, watches movies/tv serials, bunks classes yet still somehow ends up with a CGPA above 9. Also the co-founder of TOSS.
One of the best writers I know in real life (to know what I mean, read this), he wants to be a writer, lawyer and/or an entrepreneur :D
 
Viswanath aka Viswa (not Vichu)
             
Initially hung out with him mostly because he hung out with Vishnu. Talks a lot and comes with tons and tons of mokkais, a small percentage of which are actually funny. Best used to break the ice in awkward situations, he is comparable to a head ache. Despite your best efforts, you are never sure why you got it and how to get rid of it.

Surya

His inclusion in this list would surprise a lot of people and for good reason. He has somehow stuck to my gang for so long, getting rid of him has become too much effort for a somberi. Guaranteed to do something silly-looking at least once every five minutes, he has got a recent passion for cartoons and the spartans (this is an inside joke.. for now) which thankfully no one else seems to share.
 
Nalini aka Nemo

Childish and studious to almost a fault, she is a happy-go-lucky kinda girl. Its almost funny how every time I talk to her I seem to upset someone or the other. She is quite a good dancer and has been the inspiration for quite a few posts in this blog. And thanks to her, I have had many interesting phone calls(again, this is another inside joke). Also she is probably one of the few women who knows a lot about me and someone I know a lot about.


Well I could write about a few more people but feeling too lazy to complete.
