Characters of DAV-batch of 2003

Its been a long time since we passed out...Generally people write about it after a decade but what the heck its been 7 years thats long engh and some of the characters im talking about left school pre-2003 so that makes it a decade does'nt. Engh of justifications already , coming to the point. Here goes.
First and foremost the person who was responsible for me to write this, our very own Leander Paes, if it had'ne been for stupid university rules I am sure we would have seen him beating Fedex today and making the country proud. Never the less, Vasu would still make us proud. And yeah he is a person reponsible for a stitch I got thanks to fight with him in class 9. A champ in his own right.
Mr. Color Plus himself, the champ of Unreal Tournament, the only person who keeps so silent that you would'nt know that he were in the room, no wonder the two of us got along like chalk and cheese.
Mr. Casanova, the IMT guy was one person who would be found with people from other schools in IIT-JEE classes and would be with a new girl everytime you saw him. You guessed it right, you know who it is.
How can I forget Chitra Nagesh's two loves- the two chics- Murg and Chic. The people who completed Chitra Nagesh's day.
Oh the most popular guy in school - Mr. Singh is King, an absolute sensation, ask songi, Naresh, BC. Their love was unparralled. Amazing dude though, what intellect.
Geek turned Marine Engineer-what a transformation. Compare his pics from what 6th standard to now and u'll know the difference.
Mr. Billi as a teacher would call him, was a person who would be a participant in every activity and was the person responsible for so many of my nicknames.
Memory Plus as we used to call him, was a Chatur of our class, the person who could mug like no one culd imagine, but he would say I don't mug. I guess he was right, after all Cornell did come calling.
Mr. Flirt master himself , deserves a special mention since he says I am his guru but in actuality he is and I am just on the first floor as he would call it.
The guy who used to come to school in Mercedes Benz back in 1999, the silent rockstar, absolute gem and the quitest guy you can meet.
He, shares his name with Kirten Stewart in Twilight, yes we called him Bella, an absolute champ.
The studious guy of the class, the guy who would study the hardest and had all the makings of an entreprenuer from day 1- MR. Doshi.
The smartest guy in class, amazing camradrie with evryone and the best part is no one would know he was that smart till the marks arrived- Srinivas Rangan
No other person can have a dextrous face like our own cake face- MR. Venkat
Gaudi Bum and Prathap where famous for their "FISHY" affairs.
Dr. Hari was a love of the life of a hindi teacher, she claimed he would top Hindi and "Hindi Bhasyi bachon ko sharam aani chahiye" with reference to me, whatever an absolutly great friend.
NCC gold medallist could never see eye to eye with any math teacher be it Kalpakkam or Parvatty Kriparam.
Kishore did the unthinkabble in 6th or was it 7th, he almost burst open another person's bladder mistaking the balls for cricket balls :). Vasu claims he hit him. Sid though is now a successful entreprenuer.
How can someone learn Japanese with such ease still beats me, but this guy could, the silent guy of the class- Anand
Mushy, a absolute icon at math and a body builder par excellence.
CL at one point was the shortest in class and had a squeskiest voice, ah but IIT-IIM none the less...Hopefully the next Bhagat
Who can forget Mr. Ghosh, he could eat any rodent on the planet and was the love of Songi's life.
Chou Chou as he was called was one person who cannot be forgotten for his huge waist size. It is rumored that it took two trousers to make one of his :).
Numerolgy changed his name from Shiv Shankar to Ambigainath( PS: my friends from the north please try to pronounce this name) but did it change his fortune no way. He was always the topper.
And last but not the least-Mua. Well what do I say about myself, but in the words of my dear friend I was the one and only "Tod Phod" of DAV.
I have just retained my list to people who were in DAV-"A School with a difference"- all their lives. Of course the list can't be exhausitive, I've just named people who I remember.
Of course, I bugged Vasu for an hour to scratch his head and come up with everyone's names, so he gets the largest space :)..Sorry if I missed anyone...Vasu is to blame for it, not me

Random musings of an absolutely free mind-Part Whatever

Ok so the time is 3 am ..Have nothing to do. Am bored of cribbing and writing memoirs for friends. So back to my own space on cyberspace.
Just wondering do I make up 0.00000000000000001% of the entire cyberspace. Wow that makes one feel so small does'nt it. But are we significant. Well from the head count of the people reading my blog, I certainly don't think so, but WHATEVA, I am significant in my own eyes.
So I had another GD and cleared it again only for the same story to be repeated. I positively screwed the interview and even the K-series Doyens don't want me. Well atleast my 80 year old institution has just begun opening its otherwise folded hands to me. Good sign, may be ; may be not. May be the wind is just guiding my sail towards my ultimate destiny. Or may be I am just talking like a sore loser. May be I am not a loser, may be others are winners. Just because others win, I don't loose, do I? In the pasrt few days , I have heard a lot that "You are good but may be this company does not fit you, may be the profile does not suit you". I sit back and contempalate after every interview and then say F*@# I&. Then I sit and post something on fb.
Now coming to the memoirs. I must admit , what i thought would be a dull drab activity has turned interesting. People have written good stuff about everyone . Ha A is so smart, he is a fin genius etc. and then my dear friend H writes that I am his dearest friend. Made my day.
I sat down and decided to make my own memoir. Will post that soon and the story I was writing is finally complete and guess what the ending is still sad. I don't know why I can't get Arun and Prachi to live happily ever after. May be I'll add another chapter. On the other hand may be I'll let destiny takes its course

A new year

I had almost made up my mind that I would not celebrate the new year. Why celebrate it? Its after all just another day. There is nothing new that has happened. I have not become rich all of a sudden. Nor has my life changed in any way. All that has happened is that the clock has ticked further towards eventuality of human life.
But then I realised why it was a reason to celebrate. The new year brings hope. The clock goes back to zero, so it is a symbol of new beginning. A fresh beginning to correct the wrongs. A fresh beginning to welcome with some old and some new friends.
Ok so i thought what should I resolve to do this new year. And the answer was obvious. I need not have thought anymore.
