Palakkad again

My friend Kichu

Kichu-as i named him and the rest of guys of pre-degree course of the 91-93 batch of Government college,Chittur.
I remember those days when i used to go to college in that Raleigh cycle of mine and Kichu and myself used to meet up at the junction or the bus stop.We became very close 'cause he was not an extrovert and i was beginning to bloom as one just out of my jailhouse school Chinmaya Vidyalaya,pallavur.We as a group namely Rajesh-tall,Rajesh-white,Prameela menon(the star)Pushpa,Sumesh used to freak out in our Physics gallery which was one helluva place as the stadium was next to it and the river a little further down.

I remember those times when we used to line-marify all possible pretty looking seniors whereever we could get our eyes on.As a matter of fact i was also a victim of the love bug.Boy i used to think abt her as the next best thing to Sharmila Tagore.Shandi was her name.I somehow got to propose her which Kichu never wanted me to and disuaded me from doing what i did.Believe me the camaraderie or whatever companionship i had with Shandi broke the moment I proposed to her,just the way Kichu predicted.

This guy has been thru' all my ups and downs not forgetting the combined study we used to have in Kichu's mango Grooves(Mainakam House)I remember those times where i used to feel one of the family when his sister,Mom and Dad used to treat me like one of them.I am to this date very much at home when am with them.

I always used to admire his Dad(late) who used to walk Kilometers unlimited .He used to inspire me in so many ways deep down in me,he being an Electrical Engineer from REC and finally retiring from KSEB,Kerala.I would still tell one thing we all miss is his presence in the Mainakam house.

Deepa Chechi,Mohanettan with their Kid is such fun loving and supportive couple who were a great amount of support for Kichu during his tough days not forgetting mine too(my days in bangalore)

Today he is getting engaged to Dhanya from Trissur and getting married on Aug 25th.I hope i can make it.

I wush only the best for him.

Thats me for u-

RElax this is me Praveen.

Boredom catching up.

Its so much boring out here.The works all through in the morning and nothing much left to do.Simply awaiting the coming day for another boring day.I simply cannot come into terms with myself being so laid back and doing nothing productive.

I always wanted to be on the active mode,do something creative with lot many positive results,but i simply do not understand when that day will come.The wait is becoming too long.

Now at DAKC,Mumbai

Jobless
