Tum Di Da

Tht sounded nice so i put it up thr dont ask me why[:d]. U know looking back on this sem i have to say thrs been a lot of the gud mixed with the bad. I have gone throught varoius phases transitions and man a lot of confused states. I never remember apologising as much as i did this sem(for some inexplicable reason tht has stuck to my mind) and well this sem was a lot of bother. But hey i steadied a lot of realtionships (read: friendships) this sem.

U know these times when u feel like talking but dont know wht to say well this is one such time. I mean come on i have so much to talk about but nothing seems to be cohesive ryt now. U know bcos of the roller coaster nature of this sem or wht i dont know but i spent a lot of time recollecting my school days. Siva i think got his fill of my school tales this sem. he must have heard everyone of them and vishnu has heard all the less scandalous ones i suppose.

Those were the days without any pressure on u. man life was easy back thn. For me the worst part of this sem has been tht i lost my confidence in between(believe it folks i was just posturing at times. it was pure bravado :d) but i guess i cant knock this sem entirely. I dont rem much of class tho this sem. Most memories are of compsoc and the gallery and eureka and brainscan. Lol we got a lot of work done this sem. Whew!!

Now the endsem time was a big laugh. It was fun. All those late nyters(studying) all nooners(sleeping) man this is fun. And believe me most conspiracy theories are created at this time only. Not tht this sem was short of conspiracy theories. I rem this started with a couple of rumours which infact realigned friendships and the sem ended with the a couple of rumours which shuffled the previous alignment.(U guys dont understand thas fine i dont either but it happened).

Every sem has a particular pattern. Well this one had no fixed pattern. Hey i really forgot the fun part. The post compsoc meetings were the best we have had so far. And lol we had lots of ppl joining compsoc in the second year too(Wonder whom we have to thnk for tht - would tht be nari or vc??:p) Srivats me and kanna had some fun on orkut with respect to a particular issue but the hoem has to be SIVA"S Ottifying. Effecient usage of orkut was examplified by this one initiative.:d

And ppl guess who siva met this sem??=)) u will never guess lol. Uknow siva's no fear policy is to this se wht vc's 32 was to last sem i guess. no urs truly always seems to get out of these skirmishes well u know. but thn i dont want to push the fello too far as he has a few promises to keep. Now all said and done i guess this sem is special but not in the way u ppl might perceive it. Hell Normally a sem like this would be forgettable but not this one.

Well any more mindless banter and i myt get adverself afflicted by somebody so me signing off.
But hey keep reading this space for i am vetti and updates myt occur frequently.

THT WAS A LONG TIME AGO........
Well the whole family was down with conjuctivitis and enjoying a midafternoon siesta over the weekend when suddenly my mom
brought up my impending birthday and asked what i had planned for it. I replied nothing special but this started us of
thinking about my past birthdays. I have had every possible kind of birthday party i guess.
In my younger days there were lots of children and friends around as i lived in a flat and my birthday parties would always
be well populated. As i grew older i grew out of the birthday parties in the traditional sense. Also since my birthday falls
on the 14th of november it invariably happens that my birthday is kind of a semi holiday at school.
Its the birthday parties i had in the 10th 11th and 12th that i value especially. And well the major point of discussion on
that day was of course the 11th standard birthday party. Tht year i decided against calling anybody home and decided to give
the usual treat in school itself. And as usual classes were unofficially suspended on tht day. The first hour after lunch we
had physics and the physics teacher Hepzibah mam was fresh out of college and very close with our set as we had been the
first set that she had taught.
It was suggested by someone that it would be nice to have ice cream and since i had not yet given my birthday treat i went
upto the headmaster's room and asked him permission to go out for 10 min or so. He was surprised by the request and asked me
why i wanted to go out then. I replied with perfect equanimity as though it was regular everyday occurrence that i wanted to
go buy ice cream for the entire class. When he asked me " But why?" i told him tht it was my birthday and i wanted to give a
treat. Anyways i was given permission and i brought back two 1 ltr ice cream tubs. Try as i did i could wangle only 10 spoons
from him. 2 of them were used up by the head master and the assistant headmistress.
Off to class i went and well there were 4 rows so tht left 2 spoons per row. Hepzibah mam had a scoop and thn the ice cream
tubs were passed around along with the spoons. After everyone had had a spoon it went around for a second round and well
everyone including the teacher ate the second time as well. After that since we had lots more time to kill we played spin the
bottle with mam and believe me that was a lot of fun. The dares that we came up with were interesting but then most went for
truth and boys being boys u can understand when i tell u lots of secrets were spilled that day. Gossip material for nearly a
month was generated in about 30 min or so. The teacher was absolutely horrified at this and said u guys are a set of idiots
to moon over girls at this age(How true she was !!!! I Understand more clearly now tho i did get the general conept back then
itself but i have now seen lots more people mooning and fawning like fools over women i guess :d).
Ofcourse what crowned of the event was tht whn i recalled the activities to my asst headmistress she expressed the tamil eqvt
of EW!!! GROSS(not to spin the bottle :D but to the ice cream eating incident). And well my mom reacted that way too. She
told me i pull a stunt like that ever again i have it coming to me. Lol those were the good old days i guess.........
