a glimpse into my life 2006 -07

hey guys
i suppose this is my first post... vikku has been pestering me for quite some time to post on priory.... but i just didn't know what to post..now seeing the trend... i guess a walk down my memory lane would be a good one to start off with...
11th has been a lot of firsts for me... it would be a blatant lie if i said everything went on smoothly... but looking at the brighter side...i am still alive and sane to tell the tale... 10th to 11th was a big leap as far as acads was concerned...... it took me sometime to learn to " aim low, reach my goals and avoid disappointments" as far as assignments were concerned... but unfortunately it took my parents a lot more time... i would come home dancing away to glory that i scraped that magical 20 in chemistry and there would me mom... standing with a quizzical look that says something like.." isnt the assignment out of 25?"...lol...parents never grow up i guess... in other aspects too i learnt a lot... and believe it or not... i grew up.....for example i learnt not to give a damn what others say about you and be myself...as far as friends are concerned... this year has been extremely hectic... so many people to befriend and so little time....let alone the new student everyone of whom seemed to be dear enough... this was the year that many of us old students, came out of the boundaries of our respective sections and began to socialize...especially me...being in the same section for five years my whole life revolved around that class.. may be a four or five good friends apart from my class and a dozen outside the school.... not that making friends was difficult... but just that i didn't bother to... now i know what a big mistake that was.....i dont think i can do justice to the topicif i dont elaborate on this one...

old friends....

10 b girls -
anu, raghavee, jp, PD and the list goes on.... i dont know why and can not explain how.. but from the begining of this year we have been drifting apart... though i know they will always be there for me.. the intimacy is just lost... probably because we dont get to see each other much... PD, of course , still in science group... we are still very much in contact and still good friend... she has changed a lot... for the better though...and raghavee.. though we hardly see each other these days.. the moment we do.. we click back together as if not a day has been lost... however less the time spent together might be, i still know that they are always there for me... and am thankful for that...

shruthi
well... sharing so much in common and being the only 2 from 10b we were destined to be best of friends.... we knew each other inside out... though we had been close for quite some time... 11th got us even more closer.. i am not going to pretend that everything was easy between us.. this year our friendship attained what i consider to be the next level.. not completely for the better... but still things are a lot more clearer now... she is one person who knows and accepts me for what i really am... she can literally read my mind and has been there when i needed her th most... and i know for sure that this is a friendship that is going to last forever... come what may...

naren and raja
technically speaking i know him for 6 years now... but the naren i saw in 11th was no way similar to the naren i knew in 10th... i doubted if he could speak about anything that doesnt involve maths or science... but man... he proved me wrong... in 11th naren opened up a lot... moreover, he had started working like mad in 11th.. he was always a competition to me.... but somehow or the other i managed to stay a step ahead... now i guess it is his turn to rock... at least as far as the school is concerned......raja... now he is one person who hasn't changed a bit.... he is still the same outgoing, friendly raja with the craziest of ideas.... intel inside mental outside.... lol...

chappli
we were not exactly close friends... but hindi classes, AMTI, and infosys had made us pretty good friends before 11th... 11th was a completely different story... going to the same IIT classes where we spent more time than even in our homes and being the only two crazy enough to come online at 1 in the night... we became really good friends... his hyperbol sometimes drives me mad and he had been in the recieving end of my fury quite a number of times.... acts like the macho man all the time... but in reality a real softie at heart...he is a friend i've grown closer to in11th...

shruthi smruti....
of all these friendships.. i dare say.. this one has been the most valuble..... though anyone who knows us well can pick out quite a few no of differences between us... the few common traits we have brought us closer in a short span of time.. especially smruthi.. we with our insane ideas and determination to make others' life miserable can easily qualify to be the troublesome two in our IIT classes... giggling over the silliest of jokes, we still think about our future in college which hopefully will be in the IIT campus together... and there is shruthi to get us out of troubles and give us a good whack if we need one... i dont want to lose this friendship...ever...

new friends...
now this is a never ending list....

swetha..
well.... who knew that this girl whom i considered to be just another stuck up nerd in the 10 d gang will turn out to be one of the best friends i ever had in my life.... with her i had no reason to hide anything... that was the best thing about us.. we each have our own space and our own opinions... and no trespassing in that area... being highly opinionated we both could share so many things which i wouldnt have even dreamt of telling others for the fear of hearing a lecture in return...she helped me thro with some really rough times too...... though i dont exactly believe the concept of best friends... i dare say... she is the closest who can come near it....keep smilin swe!

pavithra
whoa!! she was one hell of a surprise to me... my opinions about her as a primadonna... this annoyingly calm, conserved, "poised" person..... turned out to be bullcrap....she is the most exciting person i've ever known and yet down to earth....the first close friend in 11th and a great one at that... she never failed to surprise me.. we sailed thro rough times together... so far she is the only person who can critisize me on my face and put me back to place and still get away with it...

vaaruni..
runi.. when people told me that there was this new girl from sishya coming... my hopes werent exactly that high./... but again i turned out to be wrong... runi is the most interesting person i have ever known... she gets he wackiest of ideas and laughs at the craziest of jokes... though sometimes she falls into the insane category she is another very good friend i am happy to have found in 11th...

lakshmi
smart and funny at the same time who can resist befriending this sweet little thing ( literally little)..... she and her utterly disgusting jokes...ughh.... she knows how to make me throw up... but at the same time her "i dont care what u think" attitude and ever happy face is what made us good friends... i hope to go a long way with this friendship...

vikku
this nocturnal creature i know only via the net.... i seriously thought he was nuts.. well... i was partially right... but still... i owe him a lot... since without him many boring days would have gotten even more boring... he has got a great taste in music ( because it very much resembles mine).. can not start on some topic for all the money in the world... when asked he would say some crap about ladies first and him being more of a listener :P...

anja
i didnt even know such a guy existed till 11th..... he is a hell lot of fun... a flirt with a capital F... but still a very good friend.... him with his exceedingly dumb imagination.. he is always cooking up some new name for me... (his latest creation is "dasha" that should give u a clue on what the others must be like...lol)... a trustworthy and soft hearted person... i know he will always be there for me...

of course there is the 11 b guys gang....
they are AWESOME everyone of them ... even shivram is not an exception ( though his main goal in life is to break my bones and drink my blood).... there is NK... we never get tired of throwing insults at each other... ( though we dont mean a single one)or of throwing paint brushes at each other in bio lab... manipulating values in the physics lab i never knew guys can be so free with others... of course there is the silent terror kaushik shridhar... he looks like a lost puppy all the time ... but beware... his cunning little mind is somewhere else...there is pradhum and nandan... twin trouble...they are the sole reason how we bore those tiring math classes... they are hilarious.....undisputed clowns in our class...and there is sai, kritti... who can forget ani... the mokka master... wanna commit suicide?.... ani to the rescue....though he acts ridiculous half the time ... he is a very naive and highly sensitive person... his quarrels sometimes can be juvenile but inside he is a great person.....
of course there is kaku, vasu, vasiya, vaishu, aarthi, ranga, radhika, and so many more near and dear friends.... but i just haven got the patience to type it all out.....this is not even one hundredth of my story...however full of ups and downs 11th might have been... in the end i am happy that whatever i might have lost in this year, i have gained friends who are going to last forever... come what may...
love
