POST ON 29 DEC 07 FROM OFFICE

Thalaivargale and Thalaivigale....Sowkiyama, (subhir... sorry...at times it is unavoidable to use tamil...anyway without that also you can understand the essence)

It was a great morning today as while moving towards my office the mobile rings... i stop the vehicle and say helo... the other end says "dei, naan sampath pesarein from US"... obviously all my hairs raise on surprise...he says he is thrilled to contact our friends after so many years...looks like many have sent him mail after seeing his id on my yesterday's mail... so he is thrilled....please sampath... thank peelamedu ravi, anu, karthikeyan sathianarayanan and Dr. sashidharan nair who made this possible by giving the contact details of others...and a speicial thanks again for all these people from me...He continues his conversation... on the road i talk at high volume and pitch with all those college slangs... Kamini please forgive me... i had to explain the note book cover episode to him forgetting about the surroundings on the road...everyone on the road was looking at me...i just gave a look at them which conveyed. " My foot! Don't look at me. I am talking to my friend after 23 years!".

Unfortunately L2 krishnamoorthy has not yet been contacted... otherwise i have to apologise to him also for narrating the "Big Bang Theory" to kamini...unfortunately i was not infront of her to enjoy the spread of shy on her face as i spoke on phone. It is unforgettable episode kamini.

(After it is read by our friends i am likely to be cornered for narrating both these episodes. Should i tell them or not or leave it at that as suspense! please let me know)

Sampath... whom soever i spoke could not recognise my voice except govindarajan and satyanarayanan (of course after some clues!) but every one spelt your name when they remembered their friends... That is great! Top guns are always remembered. Next time don't talk like an old man yar.... please... talk like the old flambuoyant, vibrant sampath with lots of Josh...

After reaching office i spoke to Santhanakrishnan (as he had replied my mail yesterday with tel nos) for a long time and he has given the contact number of DB Mohanraj. i am trying the Phone since morning and no one is picking up. Unnai pidikkama vidamaatenda mavane!

So sad.... there were many things to remember about me..... but every one remembers only my "kungumap pottu and curd rice tiffin box"... Any one remembers anything else... Otherwise i will come out with all my memories about you guys and gals on the blog.... of course, with your due approval! What do you guys and gals feel... should we take approval or just come out on the blog for every one to know and enjoy.....

One important information for all In my office mobiles are not allowed. But still i carry. so, in case i am in a meeting or attending a lecture then i may not pick up the phone (it will be vibrating). Kindly don't get disheartened and call me up again after 2 hrs i will certainly pick up.

One more request to every one... When we are in our group and transact with others we should feel that we are in PSG Tech classroom as teen aged students of Bsc App sc with free minds and not like people in 40's with bbbbigggg families and great responsibilities etc... our status, position etc should take a back seat. They all should be erased with a Del button. Otherwise there will be distance between us and the closeness will not be there, then we may not enjoy this group. Also, please remember it is good stress burster speaking to your friends in good old style.

While i am typing this.. power goes...i feel frustrated for not saving...supply comes... i scratch my nut as to what to do now... then i see Edit... there i see 2 comments... i click that to see them.... Ohhhh... thank you param and anu for your encouraging words.... i feel fulllllllllllllllllly charged now.... ek tham (Hindi... subhir is smiling now as he can understand) topped up! It was you both who kindled my brain to start something like this and without you both our friends could not have come closer... and i would not have started this blog. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Continue your support and param... continue carving and shaping me... i would be too happy to feel and hear the sounds of your 'Uli' and 'Hammer'.

I have got internet connected in my office today... and that is how you see a long message.

Now the update time.....muralidharan, karthikeyan, ayyappan, ds ravi, subhir, santhanakrishnan, sampath, suresh, sathianarayanan, govindarajan are still standing outside the classroom with out signing the invitation to join the group... please guys... sign up and come inside the class room and have unlimited fun! Don't support the government from outside!

Db mohan raj, ganesh, kishore (who is no more), vinay vyas, vinitharani, sudhamathi, meenakshi, balamani, sivagami, sunil mandhyan, gadaraman alias Jayaraman, radhakrishnan, prakash, natraj from conoor, class leader (north indian and name not coming to mind... face and many memories are vividly remembered) are those who have been identified as classmates and yet to be contacted....Where are you guys and gals on this earth... and when we will contact you....God, please help us!

Friends, please scratch your cray matter and try to bring more names to surface. Even a small clue is enough to get them. Santhanakrishnan says ganesh worked in cooperative bank at saibaba colony at coimbatore few years back. this sort of clue is also ok as i have already thrown the net to catch this fish out of water (suresh.... please forgive me.. you see how difficult it is to find friends). Subhir, you should be having some contact details of ganesh as you stayed nearby (still staying nearby or what?).

So friends, don't hesitate to come up with even smallest of the clues.

Ok friends.... now it is 291330hrs ( i.e 29 dec 07 afternoon 1.30 pm) on saturday at india.. it is time to go home from office.... see you tonight with some more info... i.e whether i could contact dbmohanraj or not... standby for the suspense...

I hope you enjoyed it... i repeat... even if i could make a small wave of smile spread on your face... my day is made!

regards
