While enters to class, wow…! good colors, the first two rows full gals…Microprocessor lectures going on…

Somehow I managed to get a seat n back bench. As usual it’s my slot, introduction…! Still that process going onJ. My eyes r busy with a raster scanning of class, some guys in bak bench…PC, tutu, sreeram..after few minutes one chit passed to me…hey why ru not coming to gals side…ha-ha, I guess sreeram is the man behind it…my self intro continued till the last hour, yes day 1 in new hostel.

Next day ulahu came, after two days Don came…we joined hand again…!...after two days first internals started, all guys r busy with studies but we are simply roaming and chit chattingJ

My colleagues don’t have many things to say about that studious guy who likes to discuss only about circuits and electronics, that’s quite natural. About my friends circle, it’s really narrow. It may end with some guys namely sarath, venu, siji*(he’s my partner in all crimes hereafter, he’ll be familiar soon.). But I really enjoyed life with some guys namely Don, ulahu in my engg campus. I know nobody wanna hear any studious guy’s story, no chance for a bit masala ;-). Everything is pakka academic, damn boring and dry. Just like a song in mallu movie 3yrs over now…yes its 2004 April..Partially am a diploma holder in Computer Hardware Maintenance (still needs auto correction for maintenance)..Two months coaching for lateral entry entrance (still I wonder why wasted that 2000 bucks for those entrance coaching)Lateral entrance over, don’t like to remember thatLYes.

Big confusion at home, I wanna go for job, fatherji : no way, hell! What ru gonna do with this 5k?Amma finally accepted uncle’s opinion, lets go there and see how good it is. Then will take final decision. Yes, that’s the first time am going to Chennai…pithaji mera pas hei. Reached Midas office next day morng 9.30. They called me and one more guy named hareesh(he become my best frnd later, cuz we too really troubled that time, he’s now with Wipro) as we belongs to same branch, after a casual discussion they told us, our current requirement is for Electronics/Instrumentation departments.
