Just like every child,i was also eagerly waiting for my first day of college ( v r entitled to be called children as v learn the nuances of adulthood only at college )...the first day was like introductory thing..i along with my father (though i thought it would be childish for me to be with him) went to the college.i saw a boy named Vivek from Hyderabad who was to study ece in the same college..he was also with his father..now, that gave me a boost..some people came & spoke about out the advantages of this college etc in the meeting. i was hyper dedicated then( i was a child then :P )...i listened to it with my total concentration as if my whole life would be at stake if i did not listen to it...then came the break time for lunch..as usual my mom had packed 3 large dosas...u can see that my eyes wobbled on seeing them...everyday in school i had been eating the same dosas (dosais as any tamizhan would prefer to call it)..after finishing out my lunch i tried to speak to atleast one standing b4 vivek audi...but the very sight of myself heading towards them would have sent spine chilling feeling upon them..also i was a kinda reserved guy then...the point no.2 was every1 was petering ( meaning the speaker&the listener wld never understand anything though they wld have been talking for hours )...but fortunately there were students who had thought that talking to me was not a worthless one...one of them was a boy named Shine..then v students were asked to assemble again..this time our dean told us that v wld be sauntering with Mr.Inder Mohan...wait did i tell v were to saunter??it was nothing short of sprinting..all i heard was that "G batch" to which i belonged to, will be having its first class in the EG hall....after all this hectic thing,there came a boy asking me if the dress i had wore was a new one..taken aback, i thought if he was the sherlock holmes in waiting...he was Rajagopalan as i came to know later about him...then came the second day,R.Vikas Gautam told me to wait at station by 7 o clock...he came at 7.20.. i was wearing a pucca formal dress short of tie as a proof to declare that i was not an IT professional...i had come at 7.45 for the 8.30 class( i told u, i was a noob then )...i met Madhanagopal first& talked blah blah lik "which school are u from etc."...the class had started...the drama was yet to happen...every1 had themselves present at 8.20..but at 8.50 footsteps were heard & there came a bespectacled boy..his first words were "sorry sir! i went to the wrong class"..every1 looked at him in astonishment as he sat in the first bench..the first question put forward by our EG sir was " what is the internal angle for hexagon?"..a voice shot up..it is 360/n sir..so it is 60..the external angle is 180-60 & the answer is 120..i could see that every1 was in the same state of shock as i was...there is something special about this boy i muttered to myself..later even the boy or i could not have guessed that v were destined to be together...the boy was none other than Manoj Raghavan... (then v had physics,maths& chemistry class which was of negligible importance except that i sat in the first bench for the first time in my life )
