I am Hemanth Narayanan

"I am Hemanth Narayanan.....My father is working as a....", this is how i started off my intro to th whole class which was watching me with the least interest they could have.....obviously or theoritically that percentage is not Zero for sure cause its my class teacher's hour in the college and no idiot would love standing out or atleast standing in for some stupid question...What did Hemanth say now?....."and thats about my family...." as i concluded my intro, i walked back to my place......"hmmm......actually, my father....hmmm.....", Manivanna was not the coolest of guys when it comes to a stage performance....."Make it fast".....this statement would have almost brought tears out of Mani as he somehow managed to say "Thank you everybody" as if he was grate ful to each of th souls inside the room for not laughing at him :).....As time passed the last person in the class had just finished his quota of recitation in this competition......and now its time for me to go out for some highly confidential work....I have been specially appointed as this period's defaulter......(Very polite way of telling that i am being screwed badly :))....and in no time, i am standing out with Aravindh asking him how he feels about this situation......For sure Aravindh felt about this for some time but then realized that this is a college and he does not have the liberty of fearing or worrying for all these things....

"Anna 10 meals.......", Its a good bright and cheerful friday after noon and we all rushed to the meals counter....but whats so special about this at this point in the blog????......something to be really mentioned about is my college lunch during Fridays.....Potato porial, Onion Sambhar, Payasam,Appalam,Garlic Rasam, unlimited Meals, Butter Milk and what not????.....aS I started licking the payasam on my hands, "Thambi time achu ,kilambunga.....", shouted the hostel warder......"Sir ippa dan sir sapada ukandhom...."as we lied very sincerely, we started back again from Sambhar......"Burp.......", "dai naya thalli poi eppam viduda"....shouted Mani at some poor innocent eater (obviously from E Section).....now its around 1:30 Pm......something is so special about this time now....guess what????....It's half an hour since our Electrical Sir would have started his quota of screwing E Section....(In real he is a good teacher)...."Excuse me sir," this is how Rajeev started as we all rushed (pretended to do so) into the class room...."ellarum appadiye poidunga da"....as he shouted harshly, he came out to see the VIP list standing outside....."Sir there were not plates, so we had to wait for them".......Touched by this lie, he let in all the members of that team standing outside.....bbut for 2 all went in....but who were they and where were they????...idiots, myself and manivanan were left out in the rest room when these guys went in.....as we walked down cooly to E section., mani firmly prsesed me...."Machan these guys r too daring da....we have come and they are still in the canteen"......(God only knows that we are the last in that gang rigt now"......"neenga enga da vandhinga, tumbler illaya canteen la?."....as we focussed clearly on this yell from Electrical professor, we could see Rajeev waiving his hands happily from the last bench......"Shit tholanjom da naya", even before i could complete this our College chariman's car came inside the campus......This made our Electrical sir let us in......"pesadhinga da dogs...." as we proudly came inside our class, things were moving on smoothly...by this time, Aravindh would have completed one full note book......I some how managed to move the rest of this hour with Aravindh's calculator cover....(Without calci, he wont let us sit in his class, so i used to pretend with his calci cover).

Days passed by, and it was the last day of our last Sem for our first year....."machan, un Role number enna da?."....as i curiously asked ARavindh he said some magic number which i could not make out now.....Oh wow....we both are in the same class da....there was some strange calculation which our guys taught....if 2 guys got even numbers, they were supposed to be in the same class for the remaining 3 years in this college....For some reason i was very happy that Aravindh is in my class....Only other known guy who might be along with myself and Aravindh was a guy called "Vignesh"......(one of our ItLects member rigt now:))....A silent, moody, not so moving guy was Vicky when we saw him first.....To be honest, myself and Aravindh had not spoken to this guy in the whole of first year......(who knew he will become a partner in ITLects). Only time when i was with Vicky for the whole of 1st year was when there was a department match which ofcourse our department lost....I was a cool substitute then too......(I did not know that i would later become a star opener batsman for our team later:))....."Nee yen da ippadi irruka"....this was my strong reply for the brilliant cool statment from Aravindh "machan va da library poi books edupom for 3rd semester"....

"Students, Anna university has announced that from your batch onwards, B.E and B.Tech courses in all colleges will be given out by them, in which case we get affliated to them"......."Nasama pochu.....anga padika mudiyadhu nu dan da i came here....." this is how Manivannan felt....(he told it out whereas we did not thats the only diff)....So what next....."you guys will have a course called "bridge course" to cope you all upto the Anna university standard"......(can 2 months bring out standards in all students who could not bring that up for the past 12 years????.....) Something that was too worrying was....we had classes for more than a month's time in the annual leave for this bridge sake......

playfully i used the proverb, "Let's cross the bridge when it comes....." a lot of times but i sware i never knew it had such a meaning in our college life :).....So lets meet soon to see what we tore apart in this bridge course......:)
