This blog is my brain child, started this as a way to pass time but ended up being a hobby which ultimately became something very close to my heart. I always wrote things which I found interesting or funny or fictional but this one I wanted to pen down not for any of the above reasons. This is dedicated to a person, a guy who had huge impact on me and my friends, Pavan.
Dear Pavan,
We met in first year, not sure of the circumstances but I guess we met cause you were swami’s roommate and I was swami’s classmate, Ultimately we became friends and ended up as classmates in second year. I do remember many many many evenings how we spent over tea cup arguing on cricket, cinema or super natural. Pavan, you know I always enjoyed your company, I’ll always remember the things we did.
I have always learned from you Pavan, many things.
I am always surprised how you find time to talk with every friend of yours! Something I was always amazed.
You always find time to meet up your friends, no matter how short the meeting may be, but you did meet every single one of them. Have to learn this from you!
Every one who has been to your home knows, you and your mom are always pulling each others leg, and you have to admit your mom does make you fall hard!! People think you are always like that, but I have seen how much you are sincere on taking care of them, be it taking them to temple or getting things done for them.
Another thing I wanted to learn from you and I always amazed about it, you remember everything, in fact you remember the final date of assignment submission. But of course you won’t do it but you remember and got copied it from right people. Lucky me, have spent all my college day beside you and submitted my assignments on time!!
How many girls contact did you have? this one the entire world was amazed. I have been with you always in the college days yet you knew more girls and I never knew who they were!! and I won’t forget how many times you tricked me or yogu to canteen and made a punjab out of us while talking to them!
I’ll never forget how we struggle to arrange the first Industrial Visit for our year. Visiting dean for approval became a regular thing during those days. And the visit was spectacularly arranged!! highlight was our second ooty trip with the entire class! dude I know how much effort everyone put during those days, now I smile remembering how much we struggled.
Remember the kodai trip? I couldn’t stop laughing when Navanee was given a glass of soda water and he thought it was vodka and started getting high. the trip was epic, so many funny moments!!
How could I miss this!! Our paper presentation! oh my goodness, everyone kept scaring us we need to present paper to select in campus interview. we choose a old paper, modified edited it till we understood bits and pieces of it and submitted to many college. at last some college in erode called us!! :-) the hilarious part, yogu was selected in same college in mechanical department paper presentation, we knew then how the college standard was!! We three reached at mid night to a bus stand near college from where we were supposed to be picked up. We were sitting in bus stand alone with a beggar, I still have the video yogu took on bus stand! Ultimate part was how we made bed out of many pillows and slept peacefully. when we woke up we saw some other guy sincerely preparing for paper presentation in our room!! :-D The judge was ulti, she said I’ll give you both a special prize for answering so many questions in Q&A session :-D haa haa! And yogu gave us questions and wanted us to ask it after his presentation…! we both were controlling our laughter the whole time…! awesome times dude!
While returning from passport verification , we didn’t get bus, and asked lift to a truck and rode till college on top of it!! the look the security guard gave us when we got down was priceless!! :D Not sure how , but most of our trips had many funny events, each time we travelled to Chennai there was always something happening!
Pavan, I am a big fan your batting!! For the physique you had and shots you played were great! No one would ever think you would play such a big shots to finish off games. you are one of the smoothest and pleasing to the eye slip fielders I have ever seen!! Your running between wickets sucks though!
How do I ever forget our project together!! that was icing on cake of our college life! SOLITON! We were hopeless until one day we accidently fixed a circuit and got a desired output. But you know it was yogu who nailed our review with his one liner!! I’ll never forget that!! we were rolling with laughter when we walked out of review. But we never gave up, kept doing some nonsense with project in sideline while we dedicated our project time to downloading all movies via our college wifi! ;-) We couldn't stop laughing when we found out that college is funding for proceeding further with our project!! :-D
I haven't even written down half of things we shared but here are many things I learned from you or was amazed by you. I always thought I was a strong person mentally, but it was you who proved it wrong and showed me I was not as strong as I thought. Pavan, I do understand the reality, I do understand the truth, I know you more practical than me and wouldn't like emotional stuffs from me, but all these events I wrote about is not to cause emotional out burst or to inflict the pain. All these things are happy moments in my life for which I have to thank you. I know thank you sounds very odd when said to a best friend but I really do owe you this. You have always been one person who many including me looked up when in need. Even now, this moment,you made me realize something, when ever some one asked me where is pavan? I would say “he is in PV hostel or he is in class or he in tiruvanmiyur or he is in muscat” but now I have learnt to say, "he is here, inside me". For that I have to thank you again. Rest in Peace.
Love,
Kram.
This song reminds me of you always. A small dedication to you pavan.
