Nostalgia

I am happy that my Training Morons triggered a deluge of mails in our group. 72 and still counting as I write this. Our group took a trip down the memory lane.

"the training time, monthly treats, 56 kali, leg pulling sessions, the various trips, vellamadi parties, onam celebration, cooking, marine drive, bombay hotel, bandra band stand, ganapathy bhavan, different chechimar and god knws wht all." - Munna

"sherikkum kurachu samayam nammude pazhaya kaalathekku poyi oduvil oru vyarthamaaya neduveerppumittu thirichethi ..... "breaked for tea" vaayichu chirchu chirichu vattaayi ..." – Saabriman

"Those days were golden days . Dont know whether any time would come to beat that. To be frank even don't know whether we ourselves can play that part, in case we all come back together again. Every one might have changed a lot." – Sam

"a lot of things have changed in the last four years. well, they have to. but one thing that amuses me a lot is that though we are scattered across the globe, we are still in touch with each other in one way or another. though we are missing important events in our lives like marriage and all, we are still updated abt each others. donno hw long will it continue, but hv to agree that there is certain warmth in the relationships we have and i kind of enjoy the warmth so much that i dont feel good to welcome a change." - Munna

"too good...missing all those lovely moments...a lot of memories started rushing in :)..." - Ikka

And then somebody remembered about our old mail chains. Jack had started writing a 'Guess Who' series, in which he described some of us in his inimitable style. I have got em published here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. (Shall get the first one soon). One of em is about me. Then there was a tit for tat reply to that list, in the form of another mail which Nero and Pusher published describing Jack himself. Another famous mail was the one which was supposed to be a next-change billboard at the CET Theater.

I Know this doesnt make any sense to the outsiders...But for us, each of these sentences has associated stories piggybacked. This is for us, the 14 CETians, to have a hearty laugh each time we go thru this. I know this is not the end of the journey. Three cheers to the ongoing spirit!!!

very nice arun..i think university life is the best in our life..kind of like the years which really mould our characters as well as builds some of the best relationships.

I just love reading these nostalgia posts of yours, because we girls lead such dull lives compared to you guys. Which is why I read Alexis's and your college caper posts with so much interest and growing envy. The most audacious adventure that I have ever got into was jumping the college walls to go for a movie :p

Keep em coming, you have one very interested reader here.

@Poison:
Others in our training batch used to repeat phrases like this often when we were around :_))

@kickassso:
You got it right.... That’s precisely what it means :_)) =))

@Mind Curry said...
I second. Cant agree more with you. Friends we make during our graduation period are often our friends for life...

@silverine said...
:_) girls + dull life -> how cud u put those 2 in the same sentence?
I know you have chosen to be diplomatically mum... uh? =))

Thanks for your kind words Ma’am... I guess I can divert the gangs who come for my blood (because of my literary atrocities) to you .
