Thanks

cf actually means check for (confer) – or at least that was i am told, i use it instead of “kindly check”
I do not understand the meaning of “faculty group” (I guess faculty is something like a department?)
And the third one – i realise cool is actually a void phrase. I thought of typing not good or something of that sort, but the communication gap betweer brain and fingers resulted “uncool” )

Deepu,

I knew that you were an outstanding student like me. Have seen chitti complain about you to me at times. She never knew that I am a bigger Kedi than you were. I used to tell her that everyone was like that at college. Refer this article to her and she may laugh.

Umesh,

I have a dozen photos of college days. If you can help me to group them into a montage picture, I will be really grateful. Believe it or not, I am one big fan of your photoshop skills.

Shikha,

Boys released in end of 2003 became a craze and I even went ahead and cut my hair like that spikey guy in the movie. I applied gel daily and went to college and every other person in the road used to stare at me. The cut cost me Rs.25 at my local barber shop. People mistook that and there was a rumour at college that I cut it for Rs.500 or so. I regret for not having shot a photo with that spikey cut. It was really funny when I think of it now. Four strands of thick hair standing up like a tree.

Thomas,
Thanks man! I liked this quote. 1,2 What does those cfs mean?
There were many girls in the college. But we slected the beautiful few who were available. We never looked on the faculty group as we never went to classes.
Cool was the term most widely used at college. It did not denote any sort of meaning to what we did. There was a guy who used “cool” and “wassup?” frequently that he used them irrespective of the place he was in. I have seen him use those words when he met someone at the gents’ room.

You are impressive
“I never mix schooling with studies” – Mark Twain

and great as well

some silly doubts
1. cf. 3 Who used to win the atlas competition most? (You)
2. cf. 4 How many girls were there in your college / faculty (not one?!!)
3. “Beacuse it is uncool to degrade the degree one studied” – Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Superb . Loved reading your memories of college… I could almost visualize you guys doing all that…The “loving the same girl” reminded me of a couple of scenes from Boys. Atlas competition, Unsaid rules and being branded a traitor, looking at each other and deciding to laugh at someone else’s joke, were hilarious… and “cool” .

Good one. Everyone of us still want to be in college as long as possible. It is a feeling that only college students like us(Outstanding) cherish for a lifetime.

Sarayu!
I suppose I have been to that place but not regularly as our gang frequented the Chettinad Mess which was very near to the college and the quality of the food was really great. Be it the idlies, Vadas, pongal in the morning or the unlimited meals for the lunch, everything they sold was great and a delectable treat.
Yes! I was an outstanding student all the time. I still remember standing outside the class for months in straight for some silly reason. We used to play the toss game when some lecturers made us stand out and closed the door so that the other students did not get spoiled by us. !@#$%% It was all fun.
In a way, I recollected my good experiences in college with this post and I don’t regret for making it big in Chemical engineering. As long as I am happy what I am doing, it does not matter whether I am a chemical engineer or a computer mechanic.

Good one as usual. Atleast u accepted what u did rather u spoke for most of us. Ofcourse dint get an oppurtunity to do most of the things that u guys did just bcos I was not a guy:( Dint bunk classes , attended those useless tests grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!. I hate those days………One thing I did was I made friends only with people like u…………:) who never came to classes even if u come occasionally u were sent out the most outstanding student Mr Karthick……
In fact be it my class, my juniors or seniors all outstanding fellows were my close friends……. So what, if u dint make it big in chemical engg all that matters is you should enjoy whatever u do and u should do what u like and i am sure u pretty much enjoyed every moment of it. U never went to Double aunty mess my class guys used to freak there? Need to talk to you about certain things though but not here shall talk sometime when u come online……………
Cheers…..
