అప్పుడప్పుడు it happens

కాలేజీ ఐపాయింది బాబయ్య! మొన్న నే గా రా హ్యాపీ డేస్ చూసి బయటకి వొచ్చింది. అనుకున్న పెంట అంతా జరిగింది,

అనుకోనిది చాలనె జరిగింది. ఏందో జీవితం. కాని కిరాక్ మజా వచ్చింది. ఆగం ఖాన్ డం అంటే ఇదే ఏమో మరి.looking

back, all of this had to happen but then it suddenly ended in the blink of an eye.

I know this sounds filmy as shit but as cliched as it sounds, everyone has to go

through it.this ain't gonna end abruptly but it's probably the last time I'll see a

lot of faces I've seen today. కలిసి తిరగడం, సినిమాలు చూడడం, అమ్మ నా బూతులు తిట్టుకోవడం, కిరాక్

కిరాక్ లవ్ స్టోరీస్ జరగడం. I don't wanna write all this but it has to come out somehow and if

this is the way, so be it. కరీం నగర్, టూర్, సూర్యాపేట, shirdi, long drives , బాసిక్ bhai , సరూర్ నగర్

కట్ట, birthday cakes , చందాలతో noodles , all night all -ఇన్-ones , Orkut టు Facebook

migration , సీనియర్ ల episode , GRE, ఆఖరికి NFKC foodstalls కి రావడం . ఓ btw , సీతారామయ్య

గారి ఆశీర్వాదములు. ఇది రా అమ్మ బైన్ జిందగీ అంటే.

more later.

What's it about those four years

Watched Happy Days today. Couldn't finish it. It's one of those movies you love and dread at the same time. Fate or not, it got released a day before my college started. So, everybody from my batch imbibed it in all its entirety and so we tend to relate, yes I'm making a statement here that all of us, it to our college lives. That's what Sekhar Kammula has done to us. He's inflicted a curse upon us which raised our hopes, created those dreams and now, as I end my Engineering, I dread having a cinematic climax. And I know I can't take it lightly. For that matter, none of us can. Far too much has happened in these 3 years. Funnily enough, I just noticed that today's 3rd October and so it was exactly three years ago that I officially became a college-goer. Boy, all those adventures, all those triple rides, grabbing tiffin boxes, venting out frustrations and then apologizings, first day first shows; there's more coming but I've been planning to do it elaborately. So, one of these sundays, I'm going to sit down, and blog. About that college trip and about the rest of my college days. Till then, let the happy days unveil.

Me, my college and more

What do you write about a place which has been your home for more than 2 years? And about a family where no one is related through blood but who'd give their lives for yours? About those friends who know your deepest secrets, your finest moments and who've been with you in your darkest hours? And now I face that daunting task as I sit down to write about my engineering life which has been full of surprises, revelations and a lifetime of memories. So, I start off with Lennon in my ears, a smile on my lips and nostalgia in my eyes.


Exactly 26 months ago, I walked out of Ganga theatre, having watched the First show of Happy Days. My college, CVR College of Engg, was starting the next day and I was nervous, if not excited. After having watched Happy Days, I dreamt about how the next four years of my life would be like and unsurprisingly, a lot of it had been derived from the film. Now, looking back, I realise a lot has changed in all those months. Old friends have seeped away into deeper lanes of my memory, new friends have more than made up for it, my girl left me, I got ragged and then I ragged, I stopped lsitening to Himesh Reshammiya and started my musical journey ranging from Cohen to Lennon and from Springsteen to Rabbi. But the thing that's changed the most is me. I'm not the same gawky, shy, introverted, innocent teenaged I was. What am I now, I don't know. Probably I'll know looking back a couple of years from now.

And I know everyone, all of us have gone through this. And a major part of it has got to do with the college and the folks in it. The day I joined CVRCE, I was neither elated nor disappointed. I was just apprehensive as to how it would be like. I know everyone feels like that on their first day to what are unarguably the most important 4 years of an engineering student's life. 2 years from that day, today, I'm proud of my friendships, a few of my lecturers and my college. I mean, whenever I'm in the college, there is a sense of belonging in there. I feel protected. I feel closer to myself.

My college is one such place and anyone who's been a CVRian would surely know that, don't you guys? Apart from the disfunctional robot and eco clubs and other similar crap, there's nothing much happening. Someone's playing basketball, someone's in the library, someone's in the HOD's office getting scorned and someone's lazing around in the shades of a tree. But that is the best part of it. Its unhurried, its quiet and pretty laidback. I'm loving it and am looking forward to my last 3 sems.

After my results, I repeneted not making it through a 'reputed' college, IITs, NITs etc. You know how its like. You read Five Point Someone and you want to be an IITian. But then after getting here, I realised something. Something very important. It is not the place you are in as much as the company you have. And luckily, I have the finest friends imaginable. Thanks God! I'm glad I'm here.

I wrote this article because Vidyouth wanted an article sent to them about college life. Though not entirely honest(I was looking to be recruited!), it more or less defines what my life has been as a CVRian.

Juniors' Freshers

My College Freshers was loadsa fun. And so was my juniors' freshers but I was in a different position this time around. I was one of the unofficial committee members and has loadsa fun organizing things and stuff. Bunking classes, dealing with juniors and escaping the prying eyes of the HOD are things I'll never forget. Probably this is the first time I've been into organising something this big and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was in the jury for selecting Mr. and Ms.Fresher and also hosted the show for sometime, with Sravani ofcourse ;). Looking demonic in my black kurta, I demanded respect. And the girls on 18th oct were stunning. I mean, movies said girls in sarees was breathtaking but I wasn't expecting something this marvelous. Girls in sarees were everywhere and they were awesome...
