S square V PHD !
Trip to Peoria was like opening a pandora's box of memories...
My friendship with Shailu dates back to Dec 1999. I saw her through my class window, few days after the First year engineering classes commenced. Since it was the first year, we did not have separate classes for each branch yet. We had same course work for all branches hence were randomly allotted sections. Vani, my first friend of Engg days, and I looked through the window and saw this new enrollee waiting outside to get in to the First year Mechanical Engg. class. She is Fair, tall, thin, silky straight hair looking so naïve, cute and all. We wished she joined our section, just coz... and she did. And then we introduced ourselves and to our surprise found she isn’t that naïve, soft as she looked after all... infact, was a pataka ... hehe! A bold and beautiful girl who was very demanding yet giving and caring all the same time.
We had already met on the first day @ college, Hima – a pretty, posh, pleasant, very girly girl from Hyderabad; Paddu – a sweetheart, caring, endearing, intelligent girl from Hyd and Spandu – a very smart, bold, individualistic, sweet girl from HNk. We felt as though our group was complete!
Oh wait wait … I did not describe Vani… well, the words I use here just describes how I felt when I first met them and not necessarily how they are in real or what i learnt about them later! ;)
How I met Vani is an amusing little story by itself. On the day of my Counseling, I was first student to start with. I did not want to go for a paid seat and there were no free seats available in and around Hyderabad. I reluctantly withdrew from applying to any Engg college. Then one counselor like an angel, convinced me to take the seat available in a college named CJIT in Wgl dist. As I filled out the form and came out. I saw this girl and her father looking for us! There were two free seats left in CJIT. I took one and Vani took the other. Vani and her father wanted to meet and greet me and my Father. That was the first time I met this charming, ambitious, personable girl who went to become my classmate, benchmate, hostel roommate, my buddy, my partner in crime ;) and my neighbor today in California.
So here we were the super six, the very popular/notorious gang known to most of our collegemates and staff, for a variety of academic and extra-curricular activities and excellence ;)
from, studying, sharing, gossiping, comments, compliments, classes, canteen, bunkin out to just gossip or go out, ragging, movies, restaurants, dhabas, shopping every weekend, our own spa days... to, crushes, adam-teasing!!, naming names, poetry! yep we use to write short poems with scenetences ending in very funny rhyming words and a variety of other naughty and nice adventures... we done it all ;)
i can write a whole book and series about our S square V PHD gang (shailu, spandu, vani, paddu, hima and Deepu) and our engg college days... there were a few other names we called ourselves.. like We6 and even had some individual a.k.a names for each one of us.
whatever happened in the big bad outside world, we made the most of what we had, giggled, laughed, cried, chuckled, fought, argued, partied, learnt from each other, been silly, crazy and passed out of college with distinction.
there were many others who changed or influenced our lives one way or another.. but we six stuck together... don't know how i would have been without the girls gang!
if i had 2 wishes, i would use one to go back to engg days to relive the days and have as much fun ;) just once again... this time i will do some wrong things right! ;)
i am so nostalgic right now! ... need a break ;) :D
