Nothing much for now...

Today's news isn't much.. Got a "Nice Boy" tag from one of my friend's family. Pretty soothing to hear that after what I have been upto in class time. BTW, we guys had been roaming around trivandrum for the last few weeks. It's nearing the end of tenure here. So for making up the lost time, we started home tours. Unannounced visits. Last Friday or was it the one before, I don't remember, u c Sugar patient, too sweet. Anyways, the guys, three bikes two on each, made their way to Spoon's and bhavya's homes. There was an intermediate stop at Suni's, Teachers', house. Suprise reactions from most places. These are from descriptions that I recieved not mine. During return, Jazz's bike got a puncture. So Thomachan had to leave it near thirumala, was it, and come by bus.

Next day, he went with Jose, classmate, to the place, got the puncture fixed and bought the bike back. I was busy with Most Wanted that whole day. How I remember that, because I finished the game for the "I Don't know how many" time. Anyways, there was a plan for the next trip that evening. There were only 2 bikes that day. Six of us, 3 from kani and 3 from NUS, got on the bikes and made our way to Kowdiar and Nathencode region. We went 1st to Remya's house, Ajith's cousin. What a welcoming committee. Hats off. There we met Suma, another classmate, apparently there for studying purpose. She was dying to go back b4 we reached there. After a few hours, she left for the hostel. Remya and her father dropped Suma to her hostel. We waited for them to return so that we could say good bye and move to the next house. In between, we came to know that Remya was a classical dancer, a fact unknown to many. There were a few other facets of remya that came to light that day. After she came back, we goodbyed and left for the next destination.
Ancy Mariam Joshep. The one girl who isn't known to talk much, the serious type. When we reached there, she was busy studying. We had our Series the next week and we were roaming around. She came down late due a calling bell confusion. Anyways, we all chatted with her parents and herself too. She had a younger bro, allen I think, who was outside. He had gone to be with friends, the evening Adda Baazi, for the uninitiated it's like Kathi at evening time. We waited for him to come back. It was late when he finally showed up. We came to know he was into Fashion stuff and had recently won prize at PAACET's fest. After some chat, we made our way to the final destination of our tour.
Asha Paul. The bhujji of our class, the one with brain and a tongue to go with it. We reached there late. Asha's father hadn't returned from work. So we spent time chatting with her mom, sis and Grandma. In between, there was piano in the room. She and her sis used to learn playing. Not now. One by one the guys started to play on it. Surprise for all. Thomichan knew how to play the board. He played a small note from a song we all knew. That was the end of piano lessons for us. We joked about wine to Asha and she bought us some homemade wine. It was nice to taste and we had just enough. After that, she showed us her family album. There were a few "VEG" comments from my side and also from the rest. She looks the same as in her 12th except for maybe a few gray ones here and there. That's from where I got the "NICE GUY" label.

Next day was Pongala. We made our way to Nimya's house. There were Sauwmya(Spoon), her sis and Devika. They had come over for the festival. The festival, as some of you know, is for the Attukal Devi. Womenfolk make pongala, payasam usually, offerings to Her. So Me, thomichan and Binu reached there by 9. The festival was to begin by 10. We had breakfast from there. IDLIS, after a very long time, with ma fav sambhar. Sreejith reached there soon. Others were to follow but since they were late, they couldn't turn up. We roamed around after the initial phase of cooking was over. Had free food from many places. Drank a lot of drinks and ate watermelon throughout our incursions. After that, we had Sadya from Nimya's house, took a bit of rest and started to make our way back home. We had Devika come with us till Vanchiyoor after which she took an auto home. From there, we were supposed to meet Jose for the next round of visitations. After teaming up with Jose, we were initially planning to goto Sangeeta ma'm house. But she was out of station. So we called up Shamna Ma'm who directed us to Manju Ma'm's house. We reached there after a fair bit of walking. Ma'm was dead tired when we reached there as she also had gone for Pongala. Even then she served us drinks and biscuits. We had a bit of chat in which she advised us to look at other options, ie. PSC, Banks etc. Good advice considering that only one in our group of 5 had been placed. After saying good bye, we came back to Kani while Jose and Sree made their way to NUS.


About today, full time net access. So chat , to say the least, was to happen. Chatted mostly with my classmates, old and new, and my niece. Had a Seminar, boring, on CISCO stuff. Went for WAD lab, enjoyed it as well as studied a bit....

Yesterday, Chinju had landed in trivandrum. So there was his treat at ZamZam. Had parathas and chicken. Icecream for dessert. Had CT,Criti, Prasanth(junior) and Vineet, chinju's bro and junior, for company. That was mainly with yesterday..
