The Stranger - 1

This  story  is written based on a  true incident that took place when I was in my 1st year of  
Under-Graduation. Slightly altered, though.


Time        :  Mid December, 2005
Location  :  Sri Vivekananda  Junior College, Srinagar Colony , Palamaner.
Genre      :  Crime
 

Now dip your toes  into the truly happened drama....

                                 It  was  mid december  of  the year 2005 when  this incident  happened.  But long before  that, in the month of May, Chittoor's highly reputed  Sri  Vivekananda Junior College extended  its  wings  to  palamaner  by inaugurating  a new  branch  with  the  same  name. And  this  made  many of  the  localites  (including me )  to stay back and  join Vivekananda institute  instead  of  leaving  for Vijayawada, Tirupati  or  Hyderabad  to  seek  corporate  education.
              Chandu ,Deepu,Noushad,Yusuf , Gowtham,  Tabrez, Wilson,  Kiran, Haricharan (enugu/elephant)  and many  of  them  were my close  buddies at  my  College.  Everyone of  us  had a quite  good rapport  with  every  other  and  we always used to keep our feet together wherever we go irrespective of movies, hangouts, grounds and even toilets in lunch breaks. Since  our  institute's   head  office was  located  in  Chittoor, our  staff  including  principal  were  mere  commuters  who  used to travel  for about 40 km  to Palamaner and travel back to Chittoor right after the college gets shut down.

              Noushad, the key person in this story and as well as in the college , used to be super-active in all activities ranging from collecting the roll numbers of attendess  to fetching the pieces of chalk from the staff room. He was tagged with  several  miscellaneous duties like controlling the class in the absence of  lecturer, distributing the answer sheeets along with the question papers during the weekly exams,  collecting  back those answer sheets , playing pranks in the classroom even at  times when lectures are being delivered. So now we can clearly make out that our bubbly Noushu was least bothered about studies, exams and their serious consequences. Thus he used to carry some leadership  reputation with whatever work he accomplished, no matter how silly the work was. Obviously any Principal like our D. Lambodharam Naidu would suggest Noushu's name for every activity. Also our princy's Hero cycle was used and  looked after by Noushad when the Principal gets off the college in the evenings. Thus Noushu was more popular in the college than the principal.
                           Now Coming to our curriculum. We were taught by lecturers from Chittoor. Regular running notes was given for MPC students and especially in Mathematics, every single problem given in the text book was solved just because we had 4 complete days of math in a week.   We the students were examined regularly with weekly and monthly exams and  the examinations usually carried some kind of caution with them. This is because our papers underwent stringent correction by the Chittoor Management and  students performing below their mark were warned, scolded and some times even beaten up by our furious  Principal and Chairman (A.V.N). We were fed up with those exhaustive and repeated exams & assignments. We somehow used to manage and write those exams just because we were supposed to. Days were passing by with those irritating untimely exams but with asusual marks and remarks. Then comes the twist in the tale.

                          Our Principal , D.L.N usually brings the empty answer sheets, question papers, additional sheets and other register books  from the head branch and used to cautiously store them in his private office room. Then everyday after the classes, he  locks his room, double-checks the lock , hands away the cycle key to Noushad and atlast places the room key in his shirt's pocket and  only then leaves the college. One fine lovely evening after the college , principal was supposed to leave for Punganur(instead of Chittoor) and so  felt that he might not be attending the college for the  next 2 days. And also by the time he finished his daily work , all the staff had already left for Chittoor. Something unusual happened that evening.  Principal handed over the room key along with the cycle keys to Noushad and asked him to unlock the classrooms for next 2 days and  lock them after the college in the evenings. Principal also asked Noushad to inform the mathematics lecturer M. Janardhan Naidu (M.J.N) about the former's unexpected Punganur visit.

Hyderabad

Dnt know whether lord ganesha has given me courage and helped rule out the ambiguity..Finally , on the immediate day after ganesh chathurthi I started off to Hydharabadh... Wow It's been my first ever trip to the city of pearls and I strongly believe that all the screenshots of HYD that I have watched will stay in the temporal lobes till my brain stops functioning. One of my dearest friends Dilip(bashaa) offered me warm welcome . Right after coming to dilip's room , I was introduced to Sagar and Vivek , who obviously belonged to accenture. Then dilip took me to Farooq's room. Met my buddies bharath, farooq and anudeep. We hanged out until 11 in the night and returned back to madhapur.. Then just roamed uselessly all over hyd for a week without knowing which course to join.. Then finally got settled down with spanish @ Vivekananda Institute For Foreign Languages.. It's been very beautiful to spell out those spanish words and write those words down for 2 hrs/day from mon--fri. And I also had been to Nagarjun sagar when Erfan and Sardar came over to hyderabad , all the way travelling from bhakrapet... Its been so well and good till now, but these telangana issues seems to be getting hotter  everyday and indirectly affecting my spanish classes.. Expecting the state to recover as early as possible. 

my day

My date of joining for INFOSYS has been declared and its on 3rd October. So I have to wait for about three months. And the date for COGNIZANT TECHNOLOGIES is not yet known. Ofcourse , I am obsessed with this situation not knowing which one to choose. Though Ninety percent of my well wishers say me to get id card of Infosys on to my neck , the final decision is left to me. Ok let that topic be put off for some time. I spend atleast eighty percent of my time at home. Lolling in the chair at my home infront of the television set is the frequent activity that a person can witness at my place. I have joined a private institute as a mentor for C language. And I am teaching it for free . So atleast by this way I am learning something regarding C . Its been about ten days since i started teaching the language. In the mornings , I usually get up from the bed when the clock is about to strike eight . And as soon as I wake up , I check if my father has gone to fetch milk and if yes , I appreciate the scenario so that I can sleep for other twenty minutes. Ok after waking up and completing all the mandatory activities , I start for the institute. As soon as I come , am served hot meal by mother. Post lunch session includes a cute nap. Later in the evenings anything can be opted : watching tv or surveying the roads with chandrasekhar. Unlike many of us I read newspaper before going to bed rather than wrapping it up in the morning. I feel tv and bed are the closest partners that anyperson can hangout with . Today, fortunately/unfortunately i became the part of my dad's evening walk. I have been walking 2 feet behind from my father since we started to walk. And that two feet made me victorious in typing all the above lines. Still walkin .. . . I blog only when i feel that my fingers are capable to key. I feel that all these lines depict my picture when I pass away. And apparently these lines can also bring solace to me when I go through them in the future.

my story - unmasked

I am revealing some interesting stories that ran in my college life.
It was last day of the year 2008 . sunil and I roamed on bike to buy a jeans jacket for my sister. Then we reached our room in leelamahal, and Chandu(EEE) was already on bed even before the clock struck 10 in the night. There was a cold war running between chandu & sunil and that was the reason why chandu was reluctant to come out for the new year celebrations. At 11.30 all my class mates namely vamsi, erfan, bharath, ashwaq, thulasi, anand , dilli, kiran and phani came near Eden park hotel and rang me . Then responding quickly to their telephone call , sunil and I left for the place where all of them halted. Then without wasting any time we headed to Farooq's rented room near the Group theatres. The new year 2009 was welcomed amidst the noise and applause made by all of us. Dilli and Kiran were inseparable all the time (even now ) & they had different ideas of celebration. Yes , your guess might be right - they wished to have beer. Without wasting any time, Dilli and kiran went to say cheers colliding their two kingfisher strong beers sponsored by Erfan, who never drinks but sponsors almost all the time . Sardar, a friend of erfan also joined them with another bottle. They bought some spicy chips as no non veg was available at 1 am. Meanwhile yaseen took his introduction into the room and shook hands with almost everyone of us saying " happy new year ". All others including Erfan and I were dumb struck to the way dilli and kiran sipped the chilled beer with pushing red chips in the gap between every 2 gulps. Then being very enthusiastic to know the taste of a beer , I went near them . And You know that friends often easily invite us into every useless activity except studies. I feared tasting it and accepted halfheartedly . So kiran poured just a few drops into my palm as the priest pours holy water in the temple. It was so cool that i put all the drops down. " mama please dont waste this liquid. This is as valuable as gold " said dilli furiously. Then again i put my palm in the front and this time held those devastating drops carefully and took into my mouth. And " waq waq " was the first sound made by me right after swallowing . It was damn bitter. It had a very horrible taste and dont know how these guys were hanging out with these stuff. May be practice must have made them stiff to this bitter stuff. Dilli just blinked one of his eyes against me and ran after yaseen to tease him and made all of us to believe that the liquid had started its aftereffect. But actually it didnt have any effect and he was just acting. Then we came to know that erfan's cd dawn had one of its tyres punctured. And we took the vehicle to a shop near hotel bliss. Thats how my new year 2009 began. And dont know what type of aftereffects and reactions would this blog have .

My dairy

Wednesday,25th May 2011   I came to Hosur this monday and right now I am tapping these words from Hosur, Tamil Nadu. I had a great time with my cousins Rajesh, Karthik, Dinesh and meenu kutty. We have been playing cricket for atleast 4 hours everyday since the day we arrived here and passing our time. In the evenings we stick to television to witness playoffs of the IPL. Tuesday , we witnessed one of the finest matches of IPL where Chennai super Kings smashed Royal Challengers Bangalore and straight away reached the finals. And wednesday we didnt have much cricket, but still we somehow managed to play for about 40 minutes in the evening. Later on we started to Dominos pizza hut, located at Electronics city, which was about 20 km away from our residence. For the first time , I tasted pizzas, mexican wraps and some nonsense and made up my mind strongly to stay away  from such devastating stuff. Right after returning home at around 9.15, I was quite glad to see Kolkata restricted for 147 runs by my superheroes Mumbai Indians. Then I stuck to television till the man of the match award was given to Munaf Patel by the secretary of State Bank Of India(not clear about his name) in the presence of Harsha Bhogle during the post-match ceremony. I love a new day because I never know whats gonna happen , and whom I'm gonna meet... So waiting for next day..Good night buddies.
