*********************************************************************
Throughout this post, I will write about my dear IS friends. Of course I cannot cover everyone here. It's a human tendency to be close to only a bunch of people. I have the satisfaction of talking to almost every class mate of mine but as with anyone else I have my own pick. Those not covered here are also equally responsible for all the glory and fun I had in those three years.
I won't call them the best of my life. My school days were the best and will remain so. But these three years gave me many sweet and sour moments that will remain forever.
It's my duty to start with the ones that taught me. But not every one who teaches is a governor. In these three years I learned a lot from Ivory TT. You may have well heard about the story of Krishna and Sudaama. In our case Ivory was both Krishna and Sudaama wrapped into one. He taught me what is most essential- to be unselfish. Alright, there were many pairs of friends in our class and elsewhere. So what was great with us?
Have you ever seen any friendship that is built on respect? Have you seen two friends who never tease each other, never be harsh on each other and yet be close and supportive? Our friendship was not based on fun. Neither of us gave prime importance to drives, parties or enjoyment. We were two but our thinking was one. A person may have several friends, but there is always one who remains most close. Why is this so? Any reader reading this must understand that a close friend is one whose opinion on friendship is the same as his friend's. If not, the friendship won't last long.
And yet, two friends are never equal. It's always one who gives more and another who takes. In my case Ivory has given more and I have taken more. I was, am and will always be in debt.
People especially in youth and and field like engineering give importance to things like money, personality, brains etc. Had people given even half of it to character, they would have recognized Ivory. I can never forget him offering his text book on the previous day of exam when i did not have one.
Dachu Dhakkan was in my opinion a gem that anyone would like to have. He had all of it what makes a great one and much more. Sadly he never realized it and paid attention to some unnecessary things.
While cool at his normal , nothing was impossible for him when he desired to have something. He did several things on the last day which many of us would take days to complete.
At the time of writing he has finally chosen a career for himself, probably the right one. All the best for his future.
Humbee cat devi is one of the few people whom I would not forget even if brainwashed (the others being Blingo and Ivory).
Famous for her cat smile and the "SHOULD SHOW" dialog, she is the one who never forgets anyone and always stays in touch.
"BOZO, should show ok?"
"I did not study anything!"
"You leave big this!"
etc..............etc
She always had her share in kiriks but was always ready to help and supported whenever anyone was in need. Labs were the place where she was at her best. We always pulled her leg, myself Allround cheater and sometimes Bahani. She would take it in a sportive way and even if angry it would last for a moment. As of writing, she is set to a new career. All the best to her too.
Allround Cheater was the other one in the lab who made it so great. At numerous times he would trouble humbee cat with his incisive dialogs. His company made it memorable for me at the emc2 trip in sixth sem.
Finally there was Putty Chitty
who completed the lab fun. I enjoyed making fun of her and never did she get angry once. "Stupid fellow" was her most said dialog. She became an aunt in the final year. Believe me there is little difference between her and her infant niece. The chattering laughter is the other thing I will miss.
Jaggu the tower of Shenoy was famus for his manglur Kannada. He duly reminded me of my earlier days. "Avan papa astu kashta pattu maadodu namage joke aagtade" was his famous dailog. With him and Ivory I used to discuss cricket the most.
T Kirik as his name says was full of Kiriks. But he had a cheerful attitude allover and is best known for the way he handled Emc2 trip. He was best known for his plumpy cheeks and mango mood smile.
I got into dealings with Jaggu the archer late, but nevertheless, there were many good moments especially during internships. At the time of writing, he is my comrade here at IBM ISL.
His style of clearing doubts was very funny. He would ask, then clear doubt and finally say "Ok ok gottaitu gottaitu" to avoid any further confusion!
If I were to pick one person among all my classmates for the best one of the class, it would be The other BOZO.
Right from the beginning he was one whom anyone would like, the reasons for this are plenty. First he had immense talent. Second he had a strong supportive character. Third, he had the ability to mix and deal with anyone.
I have never seen any ego in him or taking anything very seriously. I believe anyone who truly values a person likes him. Only those who have the bad habit of poking nose into other's matters will not.
Give-ya is another one whom you could truly value as a person. She must be best remembered for her efforts in reaching her goals without flinching. She had tremendous potential and I always wanted her to recognize it, but she never found it herself! Again alongside humbee cat, the other BOZO, Raw jive and others I wish her all the best.
"Ayya...........budu sisya"
"Lo...........(thu)"
Do I need to introduce these guys? Yes-yes guru and KP sisya have been the most carefree pair of the class.
I remember Yes-yes for his sudden, ready-made dialogs. Once he commented on my walking habit.
"Yen BOZO.............nadkonde yella kelsa maadthiya?"
The-juice maams as I have mentioned once was the only one I knew before I got into engineering. The batch saw a high on multiple times during his time. Once during the trip and subsequent party during his reign as cr. Then again during Expire 2009. He deserves most credit for what the batch did. Quite deservedly he has the brightest career ahead of him. All the best too him too.
Indiana Jones also deserves credit for what he did. I only got to know him well at the end, but those few moments will remain in my mind. I will never forget his help in getting me out from the placement time Kirik. God bless him.
Hasna machi had (apart from the smile) the kind of evil funny bone that I posessed. that is why I called her my shishye. Sri Lankan Party had the rare very-serious very-cheerful pair anybody would like. Go-sit had the determination and the abilty to learn and succeed. His eventual turn into choolism while keeping his nerdy self intact is a big proof.
Before Expire there was an incident that I would remember. I had been to My-bhatti's home and there we had discussion in the night about 'very very essential' things. Big Widget who is multi-talented and I started first of several 'gubaalist, kirikist,choolist' talks.
Big widget in my opinion will be a big achiever one day. He has apart from his phalanx of talents, the funny bone and awesome ability to mimic. A big part of Expire's success on stage should go to him.
There were lot of funny incidents I shared with
Dhooja bowler and British go-hell
With Dhooja, it was mostly about hum-bee cat. With British, it was more about some project or lab.
Going Raju was the brightest star in our choolist constellation. I can never forget his howls and cries in Blingo's class. I wish him a good future and also to Ivory Kumar.
Also I had very nice moments with Key-Ran[V],
Bhima buddy, Halaal kabab, Gullooraya, Anari player and many more.
I also thank my hostel mates External AD and DJ Babu. While my stints with DJ Babu are legendary, with EAD it was more about fun. The hostel fun was even bigger and mainly featured
"The Federal list of United Choolistic qualifications".

There are many more tales but am not getting them. I thank all my friends for all the fun I had. You people made it very memorable.
Seriously speaking, I would give the college average rating. But the branch deserves top rating. And the governors also deserve equal share.
Blingo is the one person whom nobody in SJCE IS would ever ever forget. His class was most interesting. We definitely took advantage of it, but definitely all of us will remember him the most.
I am very greatful to Escape Amma RGB and Maha Danda for their support. Also for RGB and for th others for their internal marks. Manik Chand should be thanked for his OOPS knowledge. Lab Master Upendra is also unforgettable. I thank every other lecturer who taught me.
So everybody covered?
How can a body be complete without the heart?
The great gubaal(GG1) my section classmate, branch classmate, hostel mate, internship comrade, room mate, and company comrade in short my long time companion deserves a big mention. Partly because he has been with me all through this great journey and continues to be with me. And also because I have made fun of him the most in all my blogs.
Life without GG1 is unthinkable. He is always first source of help for me now. He is gifted with many abilities. The strongest point with him is that he believes in himself, believes in doing something big and unlike others does not pull out if he meets with failure.
Also he has great sportive nature. I have made fun of him on multiple occasions. Th biggest was at the end when I called him as an IBM hr and told him he would be posted to an outside state.
When he learned the truth he became furious but within days he forgave me and we were again kicking and pulling each other's legs.
All the best GG1. May all things in life be the same to both of us except spouse of course ;)
Finally, a word about me............BOZO, the gubaal guruji
What was I before I got to the class, what was I in the class and what am I now?
Every moment of joy now reminds me of Blingo's class. Every party reminds me of the day I missed EXPIRE party due to my bro's engagement. Every dance reminds me of EXPIRE and every sorrow reminds me of the last days in Mysore.
But life must move on. It's stupid to expect the days back. But it's equally hard to get these moments off my heavy heart.
All I wish is.........may I find solace somewhere where I could for a while rewind those wonderful memories. This blog, for example!
THE END.
Yours forever
