FAREWELL UPG !!
Posted: Saturday, April 11, 2009 by random_name inThe good old college days have finally come to an end, and i cant tell you what a joy-ride it has been. I had my college farewell bash the other day, and yeah it was one hell of a party ! I came back home and pondered over the last 3 years of my life with all the ups and downs, highs and lows, laughed at the good moments, frowned at the sad ones. I thought my dear readers that i could share a few such thoughts with you'll:
FHS II:
This is one unforgettable project saga of my life !! The ultimate heights of jugaad. We had our Fundamentals of Human Skills II (FHS II) presentation, and as usual none of us were ready. To top it up, we had only one printed hard copy amongst 4 of us to share, which became a bit difficult to do. In the end we resorted to our usual jugaad. I realised my prof was too thick-headed to realise anything. Were allowed to use one laptop for projecting the ppt. I quietly set up a second laptop besides it, opened the soft copy of our document, enlarged it and faced it towards the presenter. My friends simply had to look and read. What a brilliant idea !! In the midst of all this i forgot something.... i only knew half of my part ! I was right after Dhruv and i had no time to do anything. Perhaps the following dialouges could explain things better...
(Dhruv): *blabbering shit*
..... so now my dear friends Aditya will.... (looks towards me) (I shake my head furiously) .... Aditya will not continue i will only continue....*starts blabbering shit all over again*
LMAO it was the time.... we celebrated right after. Noone believed we could actually pull that one off.
there are of course many such instances which have gone by. The surprisingly amazing EXIM project (Trust me everyone was convinced we would fail in that), the dhoti for the rural marketing project, the apple shaped hard copy for POM-II ( I still remember spending at least a grand for that one)
leaving studies aside we had many amazing escapades, one such escapade was our very first Lonavla trip.... here is how it goes.
Lonavla I:
i reach dhruvs house and sit in his car. dhruv, gaurav and i are looking at each others face. its 7.15 am and were all sleepy.
(Dhruv): Dude college nahin jaana hai yaar
(Gaurav): toh kya lonavla ghoom ke aayega kya?
We all laugh
(Dhruv): chal drive per chalte hai
(Me): chal
as we drive by...
(dhruv): you know lonavla dosent sound all that bad... we might come back by evening
(gaurav looks at me and tells dhruv): TU PAAGAL HO GAYA HAI KYA !?
(Dhruv): chal lets go wake up jai
we go to jais house pull him out of bed and push him in the bathroom
(gaurav): go get ready we have a very important pillai ma'ams lecture get ready fast
(jai comes running into the car): kya hua?
(dhruv): lonavla chalna hai?
(jai): chal !
(Me): i need to get back by 6
(Dhruv): yeah ok... CHALOOOO !
(jai): go get jadiya first
so here we go off to our very first lonavla trip, which eventually became a regular feature for us and finally got fed up of it in the end. but trust me, there was nothing at all like the very first one, it simply took the cake !!
well and then there came many more thoughts, the big fight with sukhi and sakshi (lets not get into those waters right now), dhruvs breakfast birthday treat in which we gorged on pastry and sukhi came in her nightie without brushing *ew*..... and yes of course the ultimate one, the PR magazine! we made our hardcopy look like a magazine, with each one of us contributing articles in it. dhruv and i decided to keep it a secret from everyone else in the group and reveal it only at the very last moment. everyone quaralled over who will get to keep a copy of it. ive lost touch about who has it these days... i just hope its not lost !
and how can anyone forget the 2009 calendar ? it was actually dhruvs idea which i executed (it usually happens that way). in this calendar for every month we added an assortment of snaps of our group (sweta, khyati, gaurav, jai, dhruv, pratik and me). if in any given month someone birthday comes, then that persons snaps will only be present in that months page... it looked really awesome and it took us a week to make it !
i sat pondering over all these good old days. the past few months havent really been very smooth between us all, but wt the heck i guess we all got a bit fed up of looking at each others face everyday...
FAREWELL UPG... will miss ya :)
