Sometimes you can’t make it on your own…

After a four month long hiatus and a lot of pestering by people, Anjana is back (hopefully with a bang!).I can’t believe it took so long to put down what I thought about 5 people. The 5 people who made my days at college so worth it. I’d have died (seriously!) if they weren’t a part of it! So, here it goes. This is in no particular order!

Sathya- The smart one.
A genius, witty, funny in a very sadistic way :P , you made my days at college so much more lively! With your Shrikutty laugh and your klutziness, that made me seem like a graceful ballerina, you made us all grow up! Both in terms of the truckload of info you provided during exams and other more ‘interesting’ stuff (hint-T positions :P )! You made us all get hooked to serial killers and gore. Never forget our arterial spray plan! You were the most level-headed amongst us, and you thought through things when none of us did!
Bike rides with you were so much fun! Remember when we sang so many Beatle’s songs on the way back from college once? I wonder what people on the road must have thought! I love your sense of humour, your intelligence (go get that Nobel Prize someday), the way you can play any percussion instrument, your optimism! I love you!

Pavi- The short one :P
Ex-wife cum mother (that sound so wrong!), you’ve been around whenever I needed you! Be it texting for advice, doubts before exams or randomly bugging you! We shared almost the same classes during the first two years and I got to know you so well! Especially Tamil classes, where I didn’t understand a word of what was being taught! You’re a genius (eidetic memory I’m sure!) and I have no idea how you study the morning before the exam and get such brilliant marks. Sometimes you should stop being such a saint and be rude to people (learn from me :P ). I still remember your bipolar days when you cried and laughed, and switched so quickly, and made us all go mad! Especially the one day where I didn’t talk to you and you started crying. Somehow I laugh whenever I think of that! =D
Also, the time when I hit you (by mistake, I’m sorry!), and you then went and got into an accident and got amnesia! Denise and I thought you were a gone case then. You called every two minutes and kept forgetting why you called, and what you wore that day. Weirdo =) You actually sat up all night before our final exam to make me that awesome turtle! So sweet! I love your crazy teeth, your voice, your fake hair (it’s a wig, I know!), and your independence! I love you!

Rekha- The sweetheart.
The first time I met you I thought you were a snob! You and Shruti stood at the back of the group, when we were taking a tour of college, and you kept talking! (Maybe I was just jealous because I didn’t know anyone, but hey you thought I was snooty too :P). I think you’re the only one in the group who I talk to on the phone (especially when I’m on the beach alone waiting for the others to land up! You’re my emergency rescue number! =) ). I don’t think you’ve ever been rude to anyone, or even can! And you put up with all our ragging too! I love the way you think, especially your crazy, one line philosophy! (You’ve been quoted the most on my facebook profile :P). I remember election time and everyone getting so worked up, for no reason. It all seems so dumb now. Also, us fighting over guys (hahaha not really, but I’ll never forget that one incident).I love your yellow bike, your super fun family, your moms awesome food. I love you!

Shruti- The funny one.
Haven’t I written enough about you in your slambook? =) Anyway, I think I got to know you best last! You’ve been my fellow blogger, husband/wife, facebooker and texter! Third year wouldn’t have been the same without you! You’re such a smart, funny, witty, person. You can make others laugh SO much with almost everything you do! Be it burping, farting or doing scandalous stuff in public , or just being your own loveable self , you made us all laugh more than we ever have! =) Your blogs are so insightful and I wonder how you come up with poems and cartoons so fast and so nicely! (Personally I’m jealous of the way you write!) You better continue blogging! I loved the trip to Cochin and your kickass family! I love the way you experiment with your hair, your openness about everything! I love you!

Denise- The talker.
Best for last :P Haha. I got to know you the best first! I did think you were one thayir sadham case when I first met you, but then you opened your mouth and WOW. I think I fell in love (in a very non-lesbian way, please) :P . Your onstage presence is a force to be reckoned with. You can dance, sing, talk your way through anything, I think! Sometimes your righteousness is quite flabbergasting. It’s also different(in a good way =) ). I’ll never forget your ‘Good morning Sister. A pleasant afternoon to you Sister!’ EVER. Also, elections (don’t forget your election manager!) and the confusion that came with it. You’ve also changed a lot over the past 3 years (for the better!). Hope you keep winning debates and singing competitions! Hope we land up in the same college too! I love your dressing sense, your grumpiness :P, your voice and eyes! I love you!

So, there. I wrote.!Hopefully one of you will write about my awesomeness too :P

I’ll miss the bike rides, the talks, the food. The moments where we laughed and when we cried. The arguments. The last minute studying. Sitting in the last bench and passing post-it notes to each other. Annoying our teachers. Practical classes. Projects. Birthdays. Sleepovers. Hanging out. Culturals. Wayanad trip. Cochin.

But, this isn’t the end ,fools! If any of you cry after reading this (I doubt I can bring out such emotions with my writing, but just saying :P), I will kick your ass. But I love you all and I’ll never get a bunch of friends like you. Keep in touch or you’ll face my wrath. =)
