Enjoyed My Last Phase

Whenever I thinking of writing something in this blog, the first topic that comes to my mind is about my school life. It was indeed really good. Such as a sweet music. That too my 11^th and 12^th std life were as good as how it would when we dring a hot tea, while it is raining heavily outside.

I couldn’t remember those early days of my 11^th std. New class. But for Harish and Aarthi sri I haven’t studied with anyone else. I know it was my last phase of my school life. I really don’t want to spend with some unknown strangers. But there were 3 people(strangers initially) who made my last phase really enjoyable.

Many interesting moments happened among us then. I here by mention a few.

• Ø I entered the class and went and sat in the penultimate bench of the class. Seeing me, pramodh turned and said “Dude, Come and sit here” I refused his invitation as it was already occupied by four. Viz. N.Vignesh , Pramodh, Manoj, Sai..
• Ø Right in the very first day of new class, that too in first hour, the topic of Cricket team arrised.V.Vignesh started the topic and asked that who is going to be the Captain. Its going to be only either me or pramodh. Pramodh soon turned and asked, “Can you lead the lead the team? ” I just replied,” Nope..Better you be the captain. I’ll assist you if needed. “

These little conversions were just a beginning. I didn’t even thought that he would become such close in future.

• Ø Saradha “miss” (It had been a year since I used this word ) selected ( rather elected ) “Sai” as Class-Monitor . A class monitor is the one who monitors the class and makes the students who talk in tamil to pay a fine.(Thanks mainly to the Engineering Course that I am doing for because of which I have defined this term well)
• Ø The entire class was against him as he was so sincere at what he was asked to do. (i.e) Making the students to get caught.
• Ø He became wexed and said to her , “ Miss..!! I’ll better resign my post”. The entire class bursted into laughter as soon as he quoted the words “Resign my post”

Days passed. Sai became very close. He came to home regularly. Rather daily. We used to have a chat and he goes.

• Ø It was October, 2007. I got a mobile. I said Vignesh ,” Hey.. I’ll message you once I bought my sim card.” I forgot about it totally. Next day as soon as I entered the class, he came to me and said, “Dude.. This Aircel has poor signal …I haven’t yet received the message that you had sent last night. “ Those words were as painful as immersing a red hot iron rod in a cold water.

Right from that night, for the next 3-4 months We had late night chats.. Really late night…Crossing the 00:00 border.

We used to play cricket every Saturday. I even remember a match against “XI B2”in which S.Karthik made his debut for our team. I, along with him, made a above par score and kept our team’s position high. When pramodh took a wicket in the very first ball of the second Innings,the match turned out to be a one sided affair. These days really brought each other closer.

Life went on good..12^th life was even more good.

I didn’t even remember when we actually started to go to Anjeneya’s temple. It was really a good place to be with friends. It remains to be the same. Initally we went for praying. Later We expected Vignesh' g.friendS rather than Anjenayar’s presence.

• Ø Sai, despite being a Brahmin ,once ate chicken saying to Femila miss that he is eating only potatoes
• Ø Our 12^th june monthly report cards were given. It showed that Sai Secured 8^th rank. The important thing that was to be noticed is that he was failed in Sanskrit paper. He was only failure in the top 15 ranks.

We appeared for our board exams. We did well. Then most awaited Public Holidays came. Daily Cricket, Going to beach once in two weeks, then going to city centre, made us closer than ever. The most important thing I hate is that when ever we go to citi centre, Sai and Pramodh would go to KFC to taste the crispies, while myself and vignesh have to go and get a munch each .

I Enjoyed my lastb phase of school life to the core..mainly due to these three guys..

• ü Dhoom – N.Vignesh
• ü Bammu – Pramodh
• ü Psycho – Sai

Thank you friends..!!
Wishing you all the success in Life.

A leaf from my life book

I was doing my second year of the kinder garden studies. It was then this boy came to my school. To be precise, he came to my class. He was lean and of moderate height then. I didn’t care much about him. I stayed aloof from as much as possible as I didn’t like him much. Days passed and it was “as-per-fate” we had to talk to each other. However it was not of good cause. We used to fight with each other for biscuits, for chips, for corner place in a bench, for getting our class tests corrected. I still remember saying him that I hate him to the core. When I think of it now and say to my parents, they would burst in laughter.

So whole of my second year of the kinder garden went by treating him as my enemy, rival etc of that sort.

Having passed in the annual exam conducted by my school, I was promoted to first year of primary studies and not surprisingly so was he. Still I treated him as my rival. I couldn’t remember how did I change my thought about him. Surprisingly, my art rival turned out to be my best friend. Life went on smooth then.

“Give me another chance I want to grow up once again.” Life indeed went smooth.

We fought for the lunch in our UKG. We shared our lunch in our First year of Primary studies. “He really means a lot to me.”

I even remember two funny incidents that happened between us. During our V^th std, he even got caught by our maths mam (Vijayalakshmi) for writing my maths homework. She left the matter just by tearing the page. The second incident happened during our VII^th std. He didn’t bring the Hindi text book and he was sent out by the teacher (Vanaja).Guess what??? I too accompanied him even though I had brought mine. Later Magesh(one of my pals) took my reader from my bag and showed it in front of class. All I was asked to do then was to go to my place and sit silently.

These two incidents may be silly and funny but these things reveal our love with each other and how high we value our friendship.

“He really means a lot to me.” I really mean it.

There after our life was not as smooth as expected. He ignored me. He ignored me totally. He went on to become another one’s(I don’t want to mention the name) closest buddy. The half-an-hour phone calls were reduced to a 5 minutes one. I too didn’t mind to go and talk to him because of my ego.(I regret for it now). Life then was not as good as expected.

Classes were changed during our XI^th. I went on to adapt myself with new buddies and so as he. The phone calls between us were completely dead. We hardly made a call to wish each other on our respective birthday.

After our schooling, it became even worse that we have to say “hi-bye” only by seeing each other in the bus stop waiting for our respective college bus. Unfortunately I am doing my BE at Sri Sairam Engineering College while he is pursuing the same at MNM Jain Engineering College.He was not my side for my success and not for my failures too. He was not there to guide me when I was searching for my shadow in the darkness. Suddenly those shoulders, which came forward when I was crying was missing. Suddenly there were none to feel my sudden pain and to hold my hand till I become strong again. I started to cry when I remember those moments when we laughed together. Life Indeed is not as good as expected.

“He really means a lot to me.”

Two days before, he had sent me a message asking me to tell what I think about him and our friendship. I was unable to reply by 1000 characters. Here I am replying to him.

All I wanted to say him was that “You mean a lot to me.”

With much PYAR ,but staying FAR
