Stella Maris

College has truly been the best part of my life so far.. I hated school n would somehow find the rarest of genuine excuses to take leave :)

Entering the portals of Stella Maris (it is pronounced as MA-RIS and not MARY's) wasnt easy for me. Marks were good enough but still the fact that I belog to the Forward community/caste (better known as an FC .... BULLSHIT!!) I had to wait n wait n wait n wait..... phew! it was so annoying to jus go to college and show my face to the HOD. me havign that look of hello-im here again today-pls give me my interview letter- kind of a look. blah blah blaaahhhh.... whatever crap! it has paid off well... n i mean it. Stella Maris is considered one of the best colleges for women in chennai. Infact it ranks the First n i am very proud of my college!

The first 2 yrs were boring.. nothing interesting happening. The three musketeers (as they called the trio.. kursheed, dhana n me) would endlessly sit on one of the benches (MARATHADI-under the tree) and shamelessly sit n talk of absolutely nothing! I'd be glad had we spoke of something important which would have helped us! First years were we, rating and sizing up chicks who went past us... and the best part is only the three of us would understand the faintest of signs we would pass on :) One smalll move and the rest of us would know who to look at, what to look at, what is different in her, or may i say.. her mini jaatakam would be revealed to us with that one gesture!! It is something i really am not able to describe.... thinking of it all now, i only have a big grin on my face recollecting all the nasty comments we've passed at so many different people!

As days went by, the clique increased from 3 members to 5 (6 actually, but one got married n discon-kursh) anyway.... The new "Fantastic 5" found a new location on campus to carry out our routine marathadi discussions... By now, we had realised college life was not jus to do what we did but something more too... We found ourselves with more n more free time on our hands (courtesy - Bcom Dept was was facing serious staff shortage). there have been numerous days where we would nicely dress up only to come n park our rear on the bench n continue or talks.... :) ohhh i so miss those days... all possible crap we've spoken of, which definately has strengthened the bond between all of us. hajaar sessions of Dumb C (dhana n me would always win coz of our experience in sign lang which was our sole activity prior to the clique expansion), food, cribbing about the college, faculty, girls in class, some poor chick whose fate was to pass by us that day... too many heads would roll!

I am known for my laughter.. lot of names .. chilra kotra madri sirikira, motor.. to name a few. I've fallen flat on the road inside college laughing... literally.. rolling on the floor laughing! my gang, if u read this part u would know what im meaning... nee ingu suhaaamee naan angu suhamaaa..... lolol... "hi! i am ....... by the way i am also ..... " ..lol!
sorry folks, if u didnt understand it, dont even attempt understanding.... it is meant only for my group :P

Group study, vetti pech, bike rides, one-to-one talks, projects, submissions, class tests, copying in class tests, teasing our lecturers n getting them all coi and shy, fights and misunderstandings, a whole lot of fun, trying very deep to understand what the red(all-the-time-mating) poochies were up to, times of sharing good food.. i mean real good food (cooked by me ofcourse!! :D), classes of philosophy, education, movies, we teasing one another..... what not! we've done it all together...

Oh no.... i feel so nostalgic already.. i wanted to wrtie so many other things... about college..
Ayway..... this one is for u girls! Im competely satisfied with my college life... It would never have been so without all of u....


Kudos to dhana, kursheed, maria, ceci and aish........

Love ya all
