30 Fupees

Photography is an art . Good photography makes people go wow . Great photography makes it to the media . The best photography , simply makes you cry .

But just the love for photography can make you something greater than all that

It can unite.
It can make friends.
It can take 2 people and make them realize that they have about 5000 things in common .

This Post , is dedicated to that person who made me shatter most of my rules.

......

When do you trust a person ?

I started trusting you without knowing . I started trusting you when you said nice-to-meet-you ?

But why ? I think i'd like to relate this to something from the harry potter movies . Priori Incantatem.

I think that we .. we were just made to be friends . We just lived somewhere else all this while .

I've really had nice time ever since the bus and i think i owe most of it to all the 200+ texts , the multitasking and you .

......

I think thats the wierd thing about friends . You end up being close to them without even knowing that you are close to them and one sulky saturday you end up waiting for them to get up just so that the texting spree can begin .

I think thats the wierd thing about friends . They just become friends without you telling them that they are your friends .

I think thats the wierd thing about friends . You know that they will just stick

I think thats the wierd thing about friends . You can tell them something that you havent even brought yourself to believe yet .

I think thats the wierd thing about friends . 2:30 doesnt seem late.

I think thats the wierd thing about friends . They're the best .

......

So , Understand that when i tell you , you're a friend and ,

We are going to be the same for a really long time.

Every day we're going to keep incrementing the #5000 counter.

There are going to be way more ftories to share and

Honestly it-was-nice-meeting-you so just hear me out,

And please throw them away.

......

30 Fupees isn't a lot of money . But its a lot of pain .

1 Egg, 2 Best Friends - Part 2.

The Caption tells the remaining story i believe. Part 2 is about the 2nd part of the Egg, about the person who probably is a few seconds/Mins younger to Pree - Her twin and my Friend - Aarthi. All i knew about her was that she was Pree's sister and we actually never spoke much about her at all. I was actually waiting to see Aarthi cause i have never seen twins before and i was so totally excited :D :D

Lets Fast forward to the 20th of May(Right?) when Aarthi landed in Chennai, 1 or 2 days later Pree introduced me to Aarthi and we went to our usual "place" to have our "conference" and then i noticed something in her - She was the kinda person who doesn't speak until spoken to. She as i thought was a very reserved person who Chooses her friends - To be precise hand picks them and initially, let me be frank, i was scared cause there is absolutely nothing special in me for her to choose me as her friend. But then i wanted to take a chance cause with her too. I felt that same spark that i felt on the night i met the 1st part of the Egg. I wanted to believe that we would go somewhere. That i could tell her someday - Hey, i'm sure i can trust a part of myself in your hands. And that day wasn't too far from the day i met her :) We started talking and getting to know each other and i was the usual me - Cracking total Mokkai jokes and being Shrayas, and Aarthi was slowly coming down to equilibrium because she'd been hurt bad by a certain someone and she couldn't bring herself to trust anyone. I dont blame her at all. It was His fault. !@^#!^*.

As time passed on, Rt (as i call her) and i became closer. We got to know each other better and i could see so much of a change in her. She got more accustomed to my presence and she began acknowledging me. Rt, also a crazy How i Met Your Mother fan, which incidentally earned her the name baRTney is a very very sweet person to be around with. She does take some time to getting used to but when you get to know her, people will realize how much of a nice person she is. The best thing i like about her is that she's herself and doesnt want to be anyone else. As the case with Pree, there is one night with baRTney that i cant forget - That night we chatted remember ? :) :) that was the day when we began connecting.

Now i can say what i wanted to - "I'm sure i can trust a part of myself in your hands." Rt, you are a great person who deserves to be respected and who deserves to be treated the way she is supposed to be treated re. Dont let anything blind your Judgment yaar. If you are having problems, you know that i'm here to help you with your decisions right ? I promise to be there till the very end of time and to always stroll beside you and be at your reach whenever you want me, and before i forget - One more thing - You can always expect from me Rt, i will promise to stand up to those expectations till God allows me to. I might make some mistakes though, like the one i did, but i will now give up. Believe in me and i will prove to you that i can be the best of your friend.

ps: I'm sorry Rt, I promise you if you give me another chance, it wont ever ever happen again.

Know that i'm always there for you baRTney as your wingman :D

Love ya yaar !

Frands forever :D :D

1 Egg, 2 Best Friends - Part 1.

I still remember that day when i met Preethi. It was sometime in the night say around 7:30 ~ 8:00 ish and she walked towards us wearing i think a black/white stiped tee and said - 'Hi' and smiled :) Then, Just then i knew that there was that somethin in her that'd push us a long way in time. Pree, as i now call her, and i started hanging out a lot from then on. We have these 'Conferences' and we got to knowing each other better. I will always remember that night when we spoke i guess from 12:30 to about 3:00 in the morning. I told my whole story and so did she. We began to trust in each other. We began to believe in each other. We began our journey not as friends, but something more than that - We were on our path towards Best Friends. Pree is totally a one of a kind person and she's probably one of my most cherished people. I know that if i have a problem, i can call her (i hope she attends it though) and i'm even more sure that if i need some comforting, She's there for me. To lend a shoulder and to tell me everything's going to be ok. She's there to make me laugh with her super mokkai's and with her stories about thaiyr saadham (psst you know right.) She's there to get lost with me considering that the two of us have an absolute ZERO sense of direction. Theres only 1 thing that pops into anybody's head when they talk about pree - She's a BURST of happyness and Joy. Wherever she goes, she makes it a point that she leaves everybody happy and with a smile. Even if it is going to cost her her own smile.

There is one small thing that i want to tell Pree today - Dont ever ever ever think of yourself as someone who is at a lower level to that of another person yaar, cause you've done things that many people wouldn't even want to do. You're a person who can stand her ground. And dont worry, if you can't just look to your side and we'll be there for you Pree, throughout your life yaar. Cause what we share is something that can't be measured. Something that can't be compared. Something that can't end until time does so itself. It is something that in a word i can say is - 'Eternal'

ps: I'm sorry Pree (i bet she knows why) it wont happen ever again yaar. This was pending for such a long time. I just thought i'd finish it up today and show you how much you mean to me pree :D

Love you Yaar.

Frands Forever re :D

FRIENDS :) Part 3 of i dont know how many more :D

I left off at sam the last time.. So now its time to move on :)

The next on my list is

Terry

Firstly, He's one of the best singers i've seen out there :D his high pitches and his voice is the best for reaching harmony. Secondly, He's a great friend. He's a very quite guy usually but as they say - He's a silent killer :P He's my fellow idea bouncer along with Alfy.. I just love going up to him and just blabber crap about the problems i have and eventually after 15 mins of bla bla bla, either i'd realize what wrong i was doing or he'll stop me and point it out :D The only thing with this guy and Sam is that they are from Africa and they will be going back after their UG here :| and that is not very good news :( but i know that the bond that we've formed is something that can't be that easily broken by distance!! This guy is so much fun to hang around with and he's always loaded with his usual Logical thinking brain and his "other" side :)

He's the one that inspired me to read more in SQL
He's the one that motivated me to study french
He's the one that made me understand how Flip Flops actually work :D
He's the one who actually broke the computer into small fragments, oh wait, its always been like that :P i mean he's the one who actually made me understand that 1's and 0's are what truly form the computer
He's the one whose mouth i'd shut when he starts singing
He's the one who, as he claims, will steal my wife from me. LOL
He's the one that, by scoring great marks makes me hate him and in turn study too, so that i dont lose to him

He's just in a word - "Terence V Silonda"

My friend and friend for life :)


Varsha A.K.A Varsh \^^

Well honestly, my first impression of this girl was that she was this extremely arrogrant who was full of ego up to the brim, but alas, another example of how appreances can be deceptive and how one can form wrong first impressions.

I was wrong. To the core.

Varsh is this extremely sweet goil and she's a doll if you ask me :) she comes to college always on the right time and on the days of the exams, she has to be there an hour earlier. A senti freak like moi :D Oooh and she was the first to call me 'Shray'. I dunno what is there in it but it just feels so good when she calls me that :P We've always been these 2 people who Text like a LOTTT!!! and the texts must have a minimum of one motion enclosed in ** in it or else it aint a typical Varsh or a typical Shray texting each other. *Raises hand for a five with varsh* XD anyways varsh is a veally sweet friend of mine and i always have and always will cherish being around her. Even though we wont be sitting in the same class for the final year *pulls out hankey* :'( we still are going to be the same buddies as we were and that i'm sure of :D :D

Looking forward to the more years in which we hopefully will have great memories that we can look on to later in our lives varsh !

We always will be that 'Varsh-Shray' who text with ** no matter who comes and goes. No matter what happens :) Thats a promise from my side Varsh

*Gibs her a hug*

well thats it for now i guess :D

Wait for the next part. The part where i reveal the Near-Main character of our life @ Loyola College…

Till then, Keep your pants on :D

FRIENDS ( Part 2 of 'n' Parts)

OK... so where was i? err ya... Part 2 right ? :P

So next in line is:

4.TOM ah, err, sorry - JERRY
He's the Creative Head of our "Creed" and a maestro in using Flash. He's like the illayaraja of Flash :D .Ok ok, enough of praising you , Finish the swf i asked you to! Ha Ha :) He's the Creed's KD and a very big one at that too. Err oops i guess i forgot 1 letter in that :P (He's already staring at me now) He's the creed's kId :D :D and a very big one at that. He is a very softspoken and a very sensitive person at heart and a very fun person to hang out with. This guy was the first person i connected with at college. I still remember, it was Computer Science Lab and i was to sit beside him ( He was roll no. 25 and i was 24 ). To sum up this guy i'd just say - "A Sensitive person with a bomb of creativity inside him waiting to burst". you were the first person i connected with in loyola and that will always be something special to me :) Hope to be your friend forever man :D Keep 'Flashing'


5. Sensei.
To me she was like the aurora at the poles. Something that is beautiful and so elegant, but only for a short period of time. A true friend who is as stubborn as the person in serial no 1 when it comes to sharing things :D A great artist and an awesome singer. She's the one that gave me my present nick name that i've so got used to and the story behind it is so funny. She thought my name was too long and so she cut short to just the first letter - 'S' and then did what she always does - 'Add a Kun' ergo 'S Kun' - The name of my flash drive and my online nickie ever since i met her. She's one heck of a Choc Maniac!! She was one of the people that i connected instantly and she's the only person in this world that i'd refer to as sensei. 1 Thing i'd like to say to her now - "Thanks for being there when i needed you :)" and i hope i was a nice friend to you. Please forgive me if i did anything wrong and have hurt you. cause i never intended to and will never. :) Always be the Jumpy Girl i knew and i tell ya, he loves you a lot.


6. Nish Nish, Come on lets make a wish :P
The First Girl that i connected with at college. Nisha, or Nish as we call her is a very 'shy' and 'to-herself' girl. I clearly remember that i didn't talk to her for sometime. How i wish that i could just rewind time and not be as stupid as i was. *psst* she was the first person whom i discussed my idea of a 'ladies-jean-zip' with :P She knows what i'm talking about, right Nish? Our bonding was one that literally happened overnight. na? I clearly remember i was playing 'halo' and texing her at the same time. haha Those were the days. Then we'd meet in the English class the next day and have a blast. Those behind the back rating of guys and girls we had in the breaks. Those "a friend doesn't allow another friend to take his/her money out" lines which like 60% of the time ended in her giving me a 10 bucker with which i'd gladly gobble down the Crunchy ^___^ wheeee. I'll never forget all the great memories that we've had together nish and i'm always there for you when you want me da :D Always and Always your friend.


7. Sanozi San (OR) Mr. i-hate-to-comb-my-hair
haha! Sanozi san or SAM as he is better known is one of my Best Bud's. A terribly anti social guy but when you get to know him, you just can't wait to just be around this guy, He Keeps the air around you so light and always filled with laughter. Sam here has many 'Modes'.

1. The "UNIX/LINUX" mode : you can only listen to "Open Suse this" "Kubuntu that" "Plan 9 this" "KDE 4.12 that"

2. The "eyaaa" mode : This is sam's trade mark. He keeps his hand over his mouth and goes eeeyyyaaaa. Thats the basic exclamation to something that he isn't expecting. If its something that is WAY beyond his expectations, He eyyaaa's like 4-5 times in the same posture

3. The "Artist" mode : Once in a while this huge i-want-to-become-a-manga-artist wind sweeps him off his feet and for 2 days continuously all you can find him doing is drawing. And the sound he gives when he's explaing something when he is in this mode is - "Kuchu Kuchu" :D

4. The ._. Mode : Somedays he's just switches off and doesn't say a word thro the hour or sometimes in the worst cases, the whole day. This is like the CON in all of sanozi san's modes

5. The Samsphere mode : This is his 'BANKAI' mode. He starts of giving wierd sentences and giving meaning to really wierd things and actually starts talking sense but in an un-sense-full way :) A very quick example is that according to him. Any word that we use as a substitute for a slang has the exact same weightage as the slang itself. If the word Fish is used instead of Fcuk and one says "What the Fish", Accoding to this great man, Fish = Fcuk at that instant and hence is given the exact same weightage. And hence if someone comes up to you and says that you are a son of a B.....asket ball player. The words 'Basket ball player' are the alias for 'biyatch' and hence you can beat him up \^____^/

Ps : The "Ergo" is something that sam is most famous for. The word - Ergo that also means "and hence" or "in reason of" or "of the cause" ; The real and actual meaning to this word is still under investigation and i will post up the results soon enough. :D :D


Thats it for now. Its almost 2:30 and this is as much as i could write with one eye closed so i guss this edition ends here and i will continue to post up. Sooner or later.

Till then Keep checking.

Friends. (PART 1 of MANY TO COME)

I'll Go in ascending order people (No Offense) :)

1. Alfred Jerome Lazarus
*shrugs* eww i just hate even typing it. Lol, Alfy as i call him can be described in 2 words - "Mortal Enemy". Gee i've erased whatever i've written 3 times already. How tough is it to pen down a few words about this assh**e ? Ah well, There is it. He's an Assh**e to begin with and one of the few people i respect in this world for his speaking skills (Apart from my Dad & Al Gore). He's MIND BLASTING when it comes to convincing people (ya ya that includes me too sometimes) but still :) its fun with him around (Though most of those times i want him dead XD). He's this person who is very reserved and won't speak out anything until he's either hit in the balls 200 times (i doubt it even then though) or he trusts someone. He's all in all a great friend and i always shall look forward to remaining his friend and 'bro' forever. Btw did i mention ? He's NOT my wingman XD XD i'd be INSULTED with a wingman like him :P (he knows why - Assh**e)



2. Andrew Do-Me-Quick Clarmaaaaaa
Firstly ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL. Another one of me good friends - Andrew or DOG as we chellama call him :P is like a walking book of facts who'll have AT LEAST 1 story to share with you EVERYTIME you see him :D He Lives in Butt Road err and No his butt ain't good :P This fellow is so thin that when he wears a pair of Jeans, It Looks like a Jeans put on a scarecrow thats stationed outside one of these construction yards :D :D A great friend and very willing-to-treat (not u see why he's a 'great friend' ?? ) Lol Lol ! I was kidding there man so chill :) you are a great friend...........NOT! hehe was kidding there too.........................NOT! hehe, ok i'll stop now :) Hanging out with this guy yu can be injurious to health. We used to make a common error in out english , instead of saying "Videsh and I" we used to say "Vivek and Me" and this guy used to correct us ALL THE TIME which obviously was followed by a *doosh* from either me or Alfy :) but i should accept. He did Improve our English and Now i don't say ... And me i always say ... and I :) Got A Lot to learn from him and shall never forget you man. You've been a great person an a greater friend. Good Luck with everyting :D




3. BNT
I still remember that class - English Thro Media, Prof. Victor, 1st Year. This man comes up in front of the class and says - "My Name Is Bharat N Tejashighani and you can call me B N T in Short". My Honest First impression - "WHAT An As**ole." He was so lifeless and boring and so so so so so boring that i simply wondered why is he even wasting his time here ? But my views were completely wrong. He is a great fellow and one of my superb-est friends. He's my personal 'punching bag' \^_^/ and thats how i always greet him - "Hey Bharath *doosh* !!! ." Let me give you a little secret on This guy, He WAS in BASE 4 before his Girl Broke up with him. ehehehehehe. To Look he's like the psychopath who's just got out of the asylum but believe me this person is a true living example of how "Looks can be deceving." An awesome writer and the editor of the college newsletter - The Paragons too. No one till NOW has an idea as to why he calls VIVEK as VIDESH not even him i guess :D This man too comes with a statutory warning which is as below

"Needs Decoding. Proceed only if you know the Language of BNT"




So People. I'll stop with 3 for my first part and continue the rest in the other Parts :)

Keep your pants on till then :D

College.

The adventures start in a place situated in The Nungambakam area of Chennai - Loyola College. spread over 100 Acres of Land, Loyola is a wonderful place to spend those 5 hours of the day. Loyola is a home away from home in terms of the ambeince and the surroundings. The trees. The Places to Sit. The Places To eat :D

Now lets talk Business.

That sounded Professional. Lol. So ya from here on i'd like to write down memories that i want to share with the world and myself. I will try to keep this blog as updated as possible with expriences from my college, my home and misc.

The memories in this blog are starting from my college times.

My First Post.

My First Post i'd like to dedicate to my parents without whom i'd not be who i am now. Wonderful people in their own ways with experiences both Good & Bad that one should learn from. Yeah Yeah they do shout at me and stuff but come on! Whose parents don't. Its afterall their moral duty to bring up their kid in the right way. And thats why i already said "i'd not be who i am right now" if it wasn't for them standing behind me every step of my life and teaching me what is right and what is wrong.


To my mom & dad, The 2 most wonderful beings on the earth.

I love you

My blog.

Ladies & Gentlemen! A wonderful day/evening/night to all you people reading my blog. A few days ago i thought - "Isn't our brain so much like the computer? Even though we have the capability to remember everything we've seen till now, there is still that small chance that we forget most of the things too." So i decided - There've been many good, No, GREAT memories in my life. Most of them i want to retain. Most of them i want to cherish again, 1 year from now. 2 years from now, Forever. So then i thought - where can i store these memories? Its not like i am a wizard to take strands of memory and put it into a glass jar right? :) so i took to the only place i trusted to keep my information forever - Google. And here i am writing my blog to keep myself and my friends updated with who i am, what i do and what i shouldn't do. :)



So read On and hope you enjoy it :D

Please feel free to leave your comments.
