“Good luck seldom comes in pairs but bad things never walk alone” - Chinese Proverb
I believe the happenings in Life are pre-destined. God’s will is ultimate and everything happens for a reason. It;’s high time I realise the importance of being a bit more careful and also taking life a bit more seriously.
After a dreadful trip to
“EVERYTHING DOESN'T GO AS YOU EXPECT ALL THE TIME”
Well, here is a conversation between someone (whom most of you think you know….neways keep guessing) and me. Again it’s upto you to decide whether this piece of work is fictional or factual…. Go ahead and have a look into the happenings of one day I will never forget in life………..ever. Without beating around the bush, let’s jump straight forward into the conversation.
ME: am jus back from
“SHE”: yea ok...
“SHE”: ohhh nice
ME: And today has been one of the worst days I’ve ever faced... jus like the day I dint get thro my JEE......
ME: dumbest day I ever had
ME: and nine others’ day too was spoilt by jus a lil bit of carelessness on my part
“SHE”: ohh why........
ME: wait lemme tell ya
ME: Well 10 of us planned to go to Kolkata today. Just for some masti, Rang De Basanti and a dash of babes. Huge planning went in. We got up at 4:30 in the morning and made a dash for the train to
“SHE”: yea...
“SHE”: hey...no suspense...tell wat happnd
“SHE”: okay...
“SHE”: u keep tellin...
ME: and then
ME: we could catch the train at 5:40 and then we alighted at
“SHE”: okay...then
ME: barely had I walked a few metres down, towards the exit gate.... did I realize that my mobile was missing
“SHE”: ohhh my god...
ME: this act of carelessness will weigh over my head for years to come..........
ME: I should have checked my pocket once I got up from my seat....but then things were destined to be different
“SHE”: ok ...did u really lose it...did ya find it...???
ME: we rushed back and all of us ran back to the passenger, which already was jus hooting for its return journey
“SHE”: ok
“SHE”: ohhh...
“SHE”: then...
ME: we made a frantic dash to the passenger train and each of us... I mean we were 10 in all.... got into different coaches of the passenger
“SHE”: ohhh...
ME: 4 of us ... Siva (U will remember this name for long), Kiran, Praneeth and me were in the same bogie.... and this passenger train doesn’t have vestibules for
“SHE”: ohhh ok...
ME: all the others who boarded the running train also could courageously check the seats of the coach they were in and get off at Howrah itself without any untoward incident happening
“SHE”: ok
ME: but the 4 of us stayed back in the bogie (the aforementioned 4) with the thought that we could get off the next station and check the remaining coaches.
“SHE”: hmmm....
“SHE”: haha...
Giri, Ravi n Kiran after a hectic day....
Is it the smile or the exhaustion???
ME: We started feeling tense........ And before a minute could pass during that terse situation... something really unwarranted, something unnecessary happened in an instant... jus like that.......... wham
“SHE”: wat was tht
“SHE”:
ME: Please stop foolin around and listen
ME: why would that ever be unwarranted?
ME: Siva was leaning outside the entrance and before he could realise, a huge steel structure from the back caught his head and he was on the ground in an instant.
“SHE”: yea ok ok...sorry
“SHE”: tell
“SHE”: my goodness...
ME: Before we could realise anything that utterly sonorous steel pounding on the head.... that made a whirr in the ears
“SHE”: okay...
ME: I made a dash to the pull the chains.... but it being a local train... (And that too a west Bengal local), neither the train nor the engine driver would respond to the emergency situation... and we were moving away from him(Siva) at full speed... without the slightest hint as to what had ever happened to this guy after he fell... My head was full of insinuations... and ugly thoughts as to what all could have happened
“SHE”: hmmm...ok
ME: I could not control my mind from wandering into the various possibilities that might have arisen as a result of his fall.
“SHE”: ok ok
ME: We got down at the next station with not much effort going into searching for the cell phone.... but much more concerned abt the person who, right before our eyes, had a heavy dose of steel thump his head....
ME: Various situations crossed my mind
“SHE”: okayy...
ME: Luckily Kiran and Praneeth too had mobiles and we could intimate the other 6 in the station abt the freak accident... I wonder if I can term it freak..... Things like these would have been averted jus with a slight dosage of common sense... And we were walking back to
“SHE”: wat happnd ra...I’m not gettin
“SHE”: okayy..........
ME: We called Siva (Luckily for us..... He was having a mobile too) and he was able to speak.... His being able to speak lifted a huge burden of our heads. I admire Kiran for the calmness he showed at such an odd situation. Always figuring out what best to do next
“SHE”: ok...
ME: we completed one fourth of the required length we needed to go to reach Siva on the rails when we had a phone call saying that Siva had been shifted to the first aid room with the help of the six guyz out there
“SHE”: ok ok...good
ME: I instantly heaved a huge sigh of relief.... But then I was still worried abt the extent of injuries that might have occurred... both internal and external
“SHE”: hmmm...ok...
ME: We walked all the way back to
“SHE”: yea then wat...ok....
ME: When is saw that guy lying so helplessly on the cot at the first aid centre... I instantly felt something was wrong... Hardly do my intuitions turn out true... but then one cannot ignore everything everytime
“SHE”: okay....thenn...
ME: Blood was oozing from the back of his head and let me tell you the sound of the steel on his head was running through my ears so clearly and the whole event was moving like a tape right in front of my eyes.
“SHE”: hmmm.....looks so cinematic ra...then wat happnd...hope he is fine
ME: he had scratches on his face, his back, a lot of flesh removed on the hand and he was so pathetic looking
“SHE”: ohhh...
ME: Such an energetic, vivacious, bubbly person seemed totally out of life... His gait suggested that he was too weak to do anything
ME: We allowed him to rest for a while
“SHE”: ok ok
ME: and then later took him to a nearby Private hospital where the doctor did preliminary tests and asked us to go for a CT scan to determine internal injuries to the brain if any
“SHE”: ohhh ok ok...
ME: We were referred to the
“SHE”: ohhh...
Glimpse of the Howrah Bridge from the taxi
on the way to Govt. Medical College.
ME: The CT scan was done... and after some doses of ELECTRAL and a few biscuits... this guy started feeling better... The CT Scan report was out and it read no DISCREPANCIES or ABNORMAILITIES.......Things started looking better (let me not call it rosy). We were beginning to feel better until a medico in the clinic spotted a white lobe in the CT scan and suggested that there might be internal bleeding in the brain... in which case it would be really dangerous for survival in the first case
ME: But he wasn't sure of his findings because the patient was awake and was able to recall all the things properly and was looking fit.
“SHE”: okay...
“SHE”: oh my...
ME: But the seeds of doubt had been planted and we had to head to SSKM hospital where we had to meet a neurologist for his final opinion.
“SHE”: hmm...ok
ME: After a lot of waiting for the neurologist, he finally had a good look at the CT scan and then decided that nothing was wrong... That there were only external injuries and the doc talked quite well (He was in IIT for 4 months... was a Patelian it seems) and informed us not to worry
at all
“SHE”: ok...good
ME: All through this none of the nine members had anything to eat since morning... It was one sincere dedicated show of unbounded friendship... and I truly salute the spirit everyone showed in carrying on each one’s duty responsibly during the time of such adversity.
ME: I knew how jaws dropped when we were told that there was internal bleeding in the brain…. The emotional stress everyone was in
Giri, Ajay n Aravind..... Jus b4 the storm erupted
Relief after recieving the CT Scan report
ME: how some of us started praying God for a speedy recovery
ME: how some cried for all the shit that was happening to us
ME: how some were looking forward to resolve the issue at the earliest possible and provide the patient ample rest
ME: how some were fighting adversity as though they had been stabbed in the back by fate several times in the past... like seasoned campaigners
“SHE”: hmm...cool
“SHE”: yea...things happn together...
“SHE”: hmm...Ok
“SHE”: yea...can understand
ME: All this while I am narrating to u... I salute the true spirit of friendship.... Though in retrospection, This will be a day where a lot of bad happened... I will surely remember this primarily for the Essence of Spirit of Friendship.
ME: All through this... I had forgotten to tell you about my mobile phone
Finally, The MAN in question himself... SIVA
Cooling off at Victoria Memorial after the entire fracas
“SHE”: yea...definitely...things happen for a reason...
“SHE”: yea tell...hope u got it!!!!!!
ME: Some b@$t@rd picked up my phone... every time I called from someone else’s cell he used to lift the phone and speak nothing other than Bengali (Am I beginning to hate this language??? Hope I do not earn any brickbats for saying this)
ME: Finally we could get a decent looking educated man in
“SHE”: okay...
“SHE”: hmmm...
ME: He was reluctant to give any info abt where he was or who he was... and it was quite clear that this guy would trouble me/us a lot........It was quite straightforward and obvious
“SHE”: yea...
ME: Through a wingie of my friend Prem, We could find someone who could converse with this guy in Bengali and finally I could get some info out of the bastard...
ME: will be back
“SHE”: okay...
“SHE” : come soon ra...atleast tell the endin and go
ME: yeah… back ….. it was the milkman
“SHE”: ohhh...
ME: I am going nowhere until I tell ya all that happened
ME: So where was I?
“SHE”: ok
ME: First I need to know Prem's wingie who helped us a lot by talking with those guyz in Bengali and keeping us informed of what to do
“SHE”: ok ok...
ME: I need to thank him a lot for his help.... This bloody SOB who had my phone started demanding 2000 bucks in return for handing over the phone and that we could get the phone at a station named BAGNAN.... he was very reluctant to come over to Howrah... he knew he would be in a soup if he would come over to Howrah
“SHE”: yea ok...
ME: Finally we fixed a meeting at 5 in the evening at the BAGNAN ticket counter... He would hand over the cell and we were supposed to give him 2000 bucks in return
ME: We left Siva in
“SHE”: ohhh..so far
ME: We were quite late and got stuck up with Siva that we could board the train at 5 and reached BAGNAN at 6... And that b@$t@rd wasn't there... On contacting him again through Prem's friend.. He was reluctant to meet us.... and he made us wait for an hour promising that he would be there soon
“SHE”: ohhh ok...
ME: later he disclosed he wasn't coming and that we could have the mobile phone only if we could go to his residence.... and that was about an hour from the station we were at. The worst part was that he is member of the ruling CPM party and there’s not one thing that can be done…. Hope IITians are reading.
“SHE”: hmmmm...then
ME: All this looked like some trap – with all that political hullabaloo- and we dec
ided to stay out of it... So I finally decided that I forget about my cell.
ME: and get the sim blocked at the earliest. Got the sim blocked. Now I need to contact the NOKIA customer care to block the cell piece.
“SHE”: ohhh...okay...
“SHE”: so u don’t have the cell now???
“SHE”: my God...thts a bad
“SHE”: endin
One for da Album: Picturesque VICTORIA MEMORIAL
ME: Dead Tired, with no more fluidity in our limbs, we boarded the train to KGP and lo we are here
ME: We went to Kol with the hopes of seeing Rang De Basanti n I also wanted to make a few purchases.. certain camera accessories.
ME: But then the whole trip turned into a nightmare... but hey there is always the right side of the coin, the brighter side of life
“SHE”: yea...
“SHE”: always
ME: No masti, No partying, No MOBILE tooo.... But loads and loads of wisdom
“SHE”: wisdom of life...
ME: That’s true
“SHE”: it wud hav been good if u wud hav got the mobile....
“SHE”: feels bad
ME: Learnt a lot today...... But then I did not have the courage to tell mom all that happened...
ME: I made it known to her... the two facts that I needed her to know..1) My
“SHE”: ohh ok ok...
ME : But in order for her to take the pill easily (better said to save myself and my integrity) I told her that Siva was pushed off a moving train and that My mobile got lost as a result of it being in his hands at that point of time.
“SHE”: ohh...nice twistin bluff....
ME : Finally that makes me guilty.... All this wouldn't have happened had it not been for my hint of carelessness. It feels bad that I am the one responsible for that huge injury... Everything would have been fine had I put my cell in place.
“SHE”: u dint do it wantdly na....things which had to happen ...happnd thts all...
ME: Lying to mom is another difficult thing... but I had to do that to make the pill taste a bit better. I know mom wouldn't have scolded me much for my losing the cell... but then I would have got a lot of reprimand for Siva's actions... Lying to Mom makes me furthermore guilty... But as they say all that happens is for our good... and I hope I can carry forward from today "the memento of priceless friendship"... Beat it if ya can??? Friendship can never be matched. Friendship is ultimate.
“SHE”: yea ra...exactly
“SHE”: even I don’t tell many a things the same manner it happens to my mom...cos ...they think from heart rather than mind...
“SHE”: so it wud become lot more emotional...
ME: ok so telling ya all this reduced a heavy burden... I feel more relaxed... though that remorse feeling still persists... I feel a lil bit better
“SHE”: yea good...
“SHE”: I too feel I hav finished readin a novel
“SHE”: much better effect than tht
ME: is it a compliment or................?
“SHE”: of course a compliment....
“SHE”: unexpected twists and turns...
ME: thanx a lot
ME: after the juggling in and around hospitals, dispensaries and railway stations my whole body had reached the maximum permissible stress strain levels.
ME: So I need to catch up on some valuable sleep
“SHE”: yea sure carry on....
ME: Ok i will use this chat transcript with ya in my blog.... I do not have the time resources to reproduce the entire stuff again... Would ya mind???
“SHE”: no probs...
“SHE”: use it...
ME: ok say somethin else
(continues......)
So that’s it folks. Hope this could teach ya thing or two. Essentially we need to learn from life and make a few changes to our outlook and carry forward in life. As for me.... Though i lost my cell phone, I gained a lot of wisdom. (Hope thats clear from the chat). Some bitter sweet memories. Tonnes n tonnes of friendship that I hope can last for an entire lifetime if not more. Do feel free to post your comments after you complete reading though I am sorry for the length of the post. I could not have made it any shorter. And always remember…. LEARN FROM LIFE & THE WORLD WILL FEEL INFINITELY BETTER.

@dave,aravind
Well, well, ..... reading ya comments almost brought me back to tears. thanx for the comments. you guyz really rock. Thanx for the moral support. Hope to get over the lie soon.... Or hopefully I will tell mom the truth at the earliest. Hoping to post a few photos too....
And for Aravind.... keep speculating as to who "She" is??? Is she fictitious??? maybe ... maybe not... Keep guessing.
Wow...really ur way of explaination is awesome.I had been feelin every scene while i was readin.And i can say we r really lucky n hope Siva getwell soon.Ajay n Arvind were right,u need not think abt that "dx" lie,(small PJ)u can skip it.U proved ur talent once again(u r genious in creative writing,though u wrote a real story).Well u enriched our bonds.she is really she, i cud guess correctly...I'm sry i may not have capacity 2 write a comment but tried.
Ur's Nag.
hey man that was one experience ...u will never forget .but i hope ur lines "It;’s high time I realise the importance of being a bit more careful and also taking life a bit more seriously" do mean something , and hope to see a different 10 people from now on ...
and you know it is said " a little push in the right direction will go a long way " see carefully around as to who gives that little push .and most importantly are you helping ur frnds in giving that small push they need ??( nothing relevant to what happned in kolkata but something for u to think about )
and as u said " LEARN FROM LIFE & THE WORLD WILL FEEL INFINITELY BETTER". guess its high time we all learn something ....
all the best !
hey buddy.....ur the best man i never ever felt something that terrible happend in ur cal trip by talkin to shankar n kiran but ur writing really shivered me !!
i felt i was reding a novel of sheldon ..... every moment suspense ....n 1 thing i noticed is that i never really felt u can b so emotional........
i hope 'SHE' really exists n jst not ur gr8 imagination..
ne way....keep ur gd work goin...
All da best...
hi ra adi .....above comments have already covered most of the things tht i had in mind while reading the blog........just 4 a pinch of humour let me say sumthing 2 all u ".........nannu vadelisi vethara raaaaa.........sachins....f u all..".
newayz jokes apart it wud b an xperience wch u can never 4get.and the best part of it was the bonding b/w u all......it was really gr8 man....hats off.
@ajay:sry ra i didnt know all dis until i read dis blog............."but y was a u....... not a tell... when i was a ask 4 the frag was a collect of q3.......hope was a me tht u was a the understood... tht dis is a wht a ogb english"
@aravind and adi:aravind u created a doubt wch i didnt have in mind BUT i strongly believe tht SHE was a fictious character.....just notice these 2 things
1)1st is tht during chatting v use shrotcuts wch were not 2 b found in this chat
2)2nd y wud dis lazy bug on earth (as he calls himself)take the troble of replacing names of the original chat by "me" and "she".....
am i right adi?????????/
finaly i hope i didnt hurt ne1 of u wth dis informal comment ........if u think i did then ............vadheley bhootulu vasthunaee
@nag
Thanx for the effort you put in first yesterday. and the sincere effort u put in to make the comment. Do not think ur english is bad. expressing yourself in the language helps. And ur PJ's make my day (Isn't think???). Though they may seem riduculous, they are highly intellectual and I do enjoy them.......;) Dont you think so??
@raghu
yeah things like this do teach a lot... and by writing this post.. i just want others to assess the seriousness of the situation we were in.... KUDOS to the calmness we showed... Hope everyone reading can feel the situation... and readin ur comment makes me feel u have understood our feelings very well.. Thanq a lot
@bussa
Thankq ra.... I can be very emotional man... Not always the hard hearted guy pokin fun at others. Actually though i may seem very hard hearted.... may be u can understand my true feelings here.. After all "Adi is a nice guy" naah???
@bunnu
Nice that u could tone down the emotions.... One way is to look at the humorous side of things... loved ya OGB english..... and whoz right ... u or aravind ???? Replacing is very easy in MS word man. jus one click.... whoever is right is "SHE" fictitous??? .... keep speculating!!!
hey adi...i cud not but help having tears in my eyes reading ur post n remembering wt we went thru yesterday...booyyy...how we got thru all that,i just can't understand...the temparament that each of them showed..hats off to all of u...u people showed that when the going gets tough, the tough get goin...put aside the intended fun side of the trip...i guess it served its purpose...we getting much more close n more importantly thank god siva's safe...n i wud like if u people dont make much fun of all this afterwards...n let that kothi learn his own lessons....
HEY ADI..
UR PIECE OF WORK GIVES ME A REPLAY OF THINGS ONCE MORE WE HAVE GONE THRU YESTERDAY ...THOUGH IT IS PAINFUL..WE MADE IT CLEAR THAT HOW STRONG OUR FRIENDSHIP IS..N DON'T FEEL GUILTY FOR LYINF TO UR MOM.I KNOW THT U WILL B TELLING THE TRUTH NOW R THEN BUT FOR NOW LET IT GO AS IT IS... THANK GOD FINALLY SIVA IS OUT OF DANGER N I THINK WE SHUD CELEBRATE THIS OCASSION IN KOLKATA AS SOON AS SIVA RECOVERS..HEEHAA
nice work adi,,,
,,,for all ,,really i have never seen a real accident with my naked eyes ever,,yesterday shiva who was just beside me in the train peeping outside,,,then a sound which is still buzzing in our ears,,,it was all blank for a moment,,if i think abt this now also i am getting very tensed the heart beat my god,,i will never forget that,,,thanks to god(a belief) for saving him with minors,,adi explained the real feelings of our three (who were with shiva when accedent took place) to the maximum extent ,,when i saw shiva on the bed at firstaid drinking milk with shivering hands,,tears in my eyes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
and at the medical college when the doctor looking into the scan film and a word "internal bleeding" made me and aravind (who were talkin to the doctor) just speechless,,just not tears it was more than that,,,
friendship which made the all the difference. ya it was true friendship which binded all of us,,,hats off to all of us ,,we showed a great temperment,,,,
"friend in need is a friend in deed"
to adi,,,
great work ra,,,,really ur genious words made the total picture into real live scene,,i got tears when u were negotiating abt the accident,,,we all will be together for ever ra,,
with love bachi
Sorry Siva, we couldn't get down from the train when you fell down, I couldn't explain(as all of u know my english is very bad) the emotions I felt in my mind at that time.How one can leave his friend in that situation???? It was so painful raa..but we couldn't do nething at that moment..my head completely filled with bad thoughts.. what all could have happened to u... but we were helpless and our minds completely blank. Suddenly my mobile rang n I intimated abt it to giri, n asked them to run to u . Then I called u, n hearing ur voice.. ohh the amount of relief I felt.. n I was able to remove all the bad thoughts frm my mind.
Still I couldn't believe that we did all these.. that too without intimating to Siva's parents.. great raa, all of us did the best we can.. n we will be friends for ever.
ok raa adi, it is a great work frm u. I will come to ur room to learn English n I will become as fluent as u are (ohh it may be the end of the time..).
adi, plan another kol trip n also a summer trip..n also gpl for SIVA, all things have happened and everything peace now. Siva get well soon,let's enjoy the max we can... ohh it's already 10 min past 10.. I have to take bath n go to class.. bye raa..
Y'll what can i say to U,(ALL including the Knight BandaG***a)u did a gr8 work N ended the day with RDB (similar 9 frns for gr8 Koti).
Ur writing made me 2 feel scenes n feelings of all....once again hatsoff 2 coolguy Dontam...but no one is less,Hatsoff of to Y'll.....
I never read more than 2 pages of a novel at a time.....but this filled with full of emotions carried me till to the end of comments,
From ur lessons we travelled safe n returned safely 2 address all of u,although we lost Saiki's PRECIOUS thing.....
Hey BandeG***a dont feel guilty,u can't do anything "Naseeb mein lika tha."abt S(HE) I can only say that it is U(ur BeautifulMind).
Once agian I bow u..........
hey guyz, I forgot one thing, we all should be very thankful to one person, but no one mentioned him. He is the person who followed Siva when he fell down frm the train in a situation, when we were helpless. He was very helpful througout our kol trip.
Can u guess who he is?? .. he says "where ever you go.. our network follows" .. yes, u r correct, he is HUTCH. He even didn't left Siva after he fell down.Including him we were 11.
THANK YOU 'HUTCH', THANKS A LOT.

@shaggy
Thanx ra for the comments. I already made it clear, that I will not make fun of this guy again with this disturbing event... So I think I am clear. All I am want of him is to act more responsibly in the future understanding the tension and troubles faced by the huge lot because of certain careless acts of "his"
@giri
Don't think we will be able to plan another trip........ What do you think???
@shankar
Thanx for reaffirming the gospel of friendship
@bachi
i know the emotional stress u must be through having seein the incident live... Do live to get over it..
Get over it soon...
@Srikanth
thanx for commenting.. Comments from people who weren't at the site and with us all day... i really think what i wanted to achieve.. All i wanted to do was look at the whole day through a positive perspective.. instead of feeling bad for what happened.. your comments strengthened my belief "Sincere work from the heart never goes unappreciated".
@vardhi
thanx for reading the whole thing and the comments as well... thanx for the compliment... though i must admit there are a lot of loophole sin my writing and i have so much more to learn... boothulu thagincha raa;)
@guess me!!! (rajesh, bachchan, PV)
thanx for the comments. i will surely tell siva.... and then thanx for the concern u showed immediately after readin the blog.....
@kiran, giri
yeah baby ... HUTCH rocks...Nokia as well (PJ!!!!) Wonder how the situation would hav ebeen had it been abt 5 years ago...maybe say even 3
@anonymous(is it askp or divya???) i dunno
Thanx for the concern... I (we) do not even know ya... Maybe only Dave does.. and i sincerely appreciate ur effort for writing this comment. Ur comments means a lot.. These words come straight from the heart. i did not expect any one other than the 8 would see the blog at all... Thanx for making my effort worthwhile.
@Sai Kiran
Anna!!! remember that was what i used to address u as when we were in nalanda. we have gone through so much in life together... though we had been quite apart here in KGP. U are really the essence of the 4 letter word i mentioned above... and u must understand that.. i might have hurt you many a time.. Its high time i apologise... maybe i dint mean it... I respect U for all that u had done.. ur concern for the kothi and then ur eagerness to know his state..... u r the best... once again sorry for any troubles i had given ya... This blog is meant to be my emotional outpour.. thats why i am telling all this... Be what u are always... and my respect for u will remain forever....
@ARAVIND
I completely endorse your views that Friends are meant for that.. Ny true friend in that place would have acted responsibly.. True... But My main intention in writing the blog was to cut out the bad feelings in all of us and have a positive outlook from the incident... Instead of sulking over what happened i guess people are happy that it is over and we can move on in life and have found new strengths from the accident. I never mentioned that the 8 of u were superhumans... Its just that Good work always needs to be appreciated.. Jus my token of love and respect for ya all.. And a way of putting across to all The Real ME. U might know me better after this incident. And as in my reply to Srikanth... I am quite happy for having achieved what I set out to while writing the blog.....
@ aditya.....
hey man...u r right...i dont think we'll ever again think of a plan to kolkata...but u know wt...may b we can arrange a get together... all of us once again after 'kothi' is discharged...n i wud suggest "tamrolipto" more so cos we have been there only yesterday n the place rocks...n obviously siva wud give us the party...or more so we will take it from him....
@aravind
The critic/narcissist/fun-loving guy/ridiculer/etc in me will never cease... that i guarantee... but i do want to put forward my soft corner... maybe i will take sometime to get over it.......
and RAVI
I am always ready for food newhere.. well let the bird flu get over... and then we ca nhave a field day with the chicken
@aditya....
man this is a gud idea...i mean we shud have a blog common to all of us...where we share our feelings(not taht we dont do it now)...so that it wud b like u giving online english tutorial for us....we correcting ourselves n learning...
n also man ne idea who this 'anonymous' n 'guess who' people r in here.....n abt the tr88 we r surely going to take one biiiggggg tr88 from kothi....n that tooo after a long time non veg....i tell u we r going to tamrolipto...cos we have boating facility over there...we will throw siva down n that i guess will b the end of all our prblems...

First of all guys really sorry that you had to go through this horrible experience... Siva wish you a speedy recovery.. I can only imagine what each one of you went through (especially Siva)on that day. I am glad that in the end things didn't turn out to be that bad, when they could have been worse.
Secondly, Aditya hats off to your narration... it was amazing... (made me feel a bit nostalgic about by IIT days...) keep it up... its evident from the blog that you guys have shown great presence of mind and handled yourself really well in the circumstances that ensued...
I am really glad that you guys have looked at the flip side of things and took things in a positive perspective.... which only made your friendship more stronger
Wishing you all good luck and a faster recovery for Siva.

There are few occasions in our Life When Tears Come Out of Eyes Unknowingly,Unexpectedly and These TEARS are a Sign Of Love ,Appreciation Care,Pride and These Occasions r really Special...The moment when Our great Heroes Of Freedom struggle happily died for Our Country ...The moment when we go to a Concert by Physically challenged persons..the Moment of love when Ur dear fren Shows his Love....after reading this Tears started accumulating In my Eyes..Coz FRIENDS R ALWAYS PEARLS IN OUR Life..
A Superb appreciation of frenship and a "Caring Love" for the Dear Ones...It doesnt matter If it s a fiction or not...but It is Very to Every heart that feels ..that feels for frends....
WIshing Ur frenship remain forever and U all guys ALWAYS SMILING ....
Nice blog Dude...
Mindblowing ,excellent, amazing, marvallous, awesome, elegent, fantastic... English language may run short of adjectives.
hope u guys hav learnt something in this junction..and we merely know that this creature called ""siva" wouldn't learn..but one thing we can hope is that atleast he can recover soon and continue his .......(we know that)
That was a good write on an event so nearly a disaster. Yet Alls well that ends well. I feel the cell phone was a small price to pay for all of your tribulations. The photo of siva wrapped in those bandages is disturbing. But, I realize, it could have been much worse. Maybe the golden luck of YOU KNOW WHO was a factor.
This was really a huge test on all of you guys and am really surprized to even think that such an incident can even occur.that was really a good write Adi.
Maybe the monkey in our friend's head will not surface as frequently again.
Hope he gets well soon.
looks like you have had a major lesson in life. hows your friend doing now?
@putta
Thanx ra... haan even i believe the presence of RAVI gr8ly helped.... wonder what would have happened otherwise.. And just like you... waiting for the monkey to get off his head
@sudhir
yeah valuable lesson learnt.... Things will not be the same again.... lots of changes in my outlook and thinking... This has been an eye opener of sorts...
And yeah siva is doin fine... hez even goin to the lab in the afti today if i am right
@sujay
Ur concern means a lot... and nice to know this could make ya nostalgic and make u look back at the times in iit
@raghuram (IIT Madras)
thanx ra.... nice to know u could feel the situation... gives me a good feel
@spoorthy, pavan nukala
Never even knew ya... would like to know ya tooo.. and ya concern is very much appreciated and it means a lot to the 8 shining knights and me as well.....
@EVERYONE WHO VISITED THE BLOG
Thanx for takin time off to read the stuff... some wondered if it was imaginary... some could feel the pain.. whatever diverse reactions I got i am thankful to one and all... the phone calls siva got from hyd, warangal, suratkal, madras... etc have made my effort worthwhile. and kudos to the kgp junta who made this possible.... I TELL YA THEREZ SOME MAGIC IN THIS PLACE MAN......
