Lessons Learnt

  • It's a heart-warming feeling to pay for your friends from your pocket. ( I know what you cheapskates are thinking. Don't even think of mooching it off)

  • The best feeling in the world is not happiness or love but that of relieving yourself when you can't control it for another minute.
  • If you cut short a conversation with a cute girl and turn towards your friend, you are stupid. Friends are supposed to watch your back not the girl in the black dress.
  • Men do cry out of happiness. I saw one
  • If you lose one glass from a Rs. 2600 shades, go look for it. God is not that cruel.

  • There are times when it's better to push your friend in front to face the fire, specially when it's coming from your own father.

  • Birds love to shit on a new car.

  • It's scary to switch off the headlights of your car while going uphill at 4 in the morning. But that's precisely what makes it memorable.

  • A Mallu shakes like a banana leaf in a chilly breeze. (Even a half Mallu)

  • IITians take hours to find a pond but add a 'y' to it and they will find it in a jiffy.

  • Every pond doesn't have fish in it.

  • It's the company that makes the tea great.

  • It's a bad bad idea to ride a bike in Bangalore after staying awake for over 26 hours.

  • It's time to grow up. College life ain't coming back.
This comes from the day I spent with friends who came visiting to Bangalore.

PS: 2 guys were missed. One is in Guwahati and the other is plain stupid.

- Nikhil Kamath, a batchmate of mine, is no more. He left for heavenly abode yesterday. A quizzer, multiple times 10 pointer and tt captain, he was a true genius, moving on to IIM-A from IIT-M. More than his intellectual prowess, he will be missed for the goodness of his heart. For people who knew him, he was the nicest of guys and humble too. May his soul rest in peace.

You said it bro!

In my defence..
Mallus are best at home not just down south, but down hill too. .
Japan, of course, is an exception

Meanwhile Achhu is practising real hard to come up with quality PJs "Somebody has to take Jaanwar's place yaar!"

Ashtung said...

@shailesh: I have no clue bout either of those... fill me in

@Nelson: true.. meanwhile, I think achhu is going through another of his so called 'cycles'... beware... he'll speak rarely and when he does open his mouth, only PJs will tumble out..

-Now my task is to find such friends!

-Have experienced it dude. Total bliss!

-"..turn towards your friend"!? What were you thinking? You deserve a more grave adjective than just a "stupid".

-I have this feeling that you were the "one".

-Why did the glass come out of a 2600 bucks shades? Somebody surely fooled you!

-Victimize others? Bad!

-Birds just love to shit, irrespective of whats underneath!

-It might make you memorable as well. Never do it dude.

-No comments

-IITians dont need to find pondy. Its readily available at their disposal.

-Its true.

-Not a big tea-fan.

-Dont tell me you work that hard!

-A wise lesson.

I can't believe you learnt so much in just one day.
This long comment comes as a result of "vella-pan".

Ashtung said...

@pratik: see ya next weekend

@apurv: hilarious... 'vella-pan' does make panning fun

Ashtung said...

- i wasn't the only 'one'
- it's original.has fallena few times... u know how i keep my cell...
- if i were driving, that would never have happened...
- Pondy is available inside IIT but they have a knack of spotting it even outside the walls..
- well I do party that hard ;)

- U are still sometime away from discovering that...
