room no:63

well i have gone on and on bout octa so much that i have become a little bit sick of it....but as i promised hedwig i would write one blog on the famous stories and comedies of octa as well as the gaming seniors of ours(i kinda feel like asimov asked by readers to finish the foundation series but a million times less than that).....but later...

u know there is one more thing that makes living away frm home in a coll bout 1hr from the city in the middle of almost nowhere so great.....the hostel life.....its so good u can advertise it as one of the reasons why u should the join the coll....

i rmbr the first time when i walked into agate....it wasnt just the first time i was living in a hostel,it was the first i was living and studyin away from home...ahh home....i had jus walked in and i was already homesick and i began to hate agate hostel immediately....and well it was jus not the hostel itself....true the rooms sucked,the toilets worse,etc,etc but that wasnt it....the fact that i was there in agate,nit,trichy away from the comfort of my own bed and my grandma's cooking saddened me....

i found out i was allotted room number 63...well does not add upto 7...that sucks....i aint supersitious and all but i was finding all the reasons to say why my life was gonna suck for the next 4 yrs...boy was i wrong....i walk in with my dad(who had come to make sure i settle in) and i see a familiar face....inside was gulG(later to become basa and then tsubasa and tsuba.....his exploits on the football field especially his fireshot would soon become legendary and inspire the famous cartoon captain tsubasa on animax.....oh wait i think it was the other way around)....

so i walk in and say hi...we had already met in iit class...hmmm maybe this aint that bad....atleast i have a roomie i know....ok atleast one roomie i know....but tsuba's tenure as my roomie was only for an hour or so....he and adi decided to exchange and he moved in....well lot better.... same school,classmates for yrs....a familiar face is always good....other than that they were 3 more guys in our room(yes we were 5 in a room!!!) and we dint know any of them....i rmbr one was from kerala,the other from MP and the last from rajasthan.....

well thats all i am gonna say bout them cos they were not really my roommates....my school guys decided to get them other rooms so that we VMites can stay in one.....and after a lotta hassle and petty fighting we did manage to get them out and us in....and this was great....all my roomies were guys i have been friends for yrs....hostel now was pretty ok(but the toilets stil sucked and mess food even more).....

well time for roll call...room no:63....

it was the beginning of a wonderful and fun filled journey with laughs and more laughs....each one of us were different in our own way but still had the common bond of being from the greatest school ever,VM.....i end now but i aint done yet...there are many unforgettable memories there that wil never die....
