Diffrent Dimensions of Life..

Its a matter of just 7 years.. So many things have changed. Soo many dreams have become reality. Is our life progressing soo fast or we in the virtual reality? question needs to be answered.

Going back to the past were days when we used to share the single plate of samosa, bitwo coffe at anands coffee corner.

Things have changed a lot in the 7 years. We all have been placed in the big firms and earning handsome salary. Every one has all the luxuaries of the materilistic world. We have seen many countries, many places and earned in many currencies. New people have come to our lives, our priorities have changed. One thing which needs to be admired is that our friendship has not changed. We care each other and we are still the same old KSSHostelites.

Year 2006 started with lot of promise. Kengu getting engaged with Sindhu on Feb03, Our house warming cermony on Feb10, PJ getting engaged on Feb19 and on the same day Umesh disclosing the IISC pranayaKathee..
Kengu's marriage on May19 was a special moment as lot of KSS Hostelites got together. Special appearance was Mr Bat from Cannada..
I feel very bad because none of us could attend PJ's marriage in chennai on june15 several personal reasons. The very next day majid getting engaged .. this shows the pace in which the life is proceeding.

One point to be adored is that all of us are back in Bangalore, after travelling places like IIMA, Australia, USA, Chennai.. .Germany etc. Also another intersting fact is that we stay close to each other. Subbu who was in Rajaji Nagar is now back in RajaRajeshwari nagar.. So it makes our job very easy if we need to meet each other. . The technology is also contributing to get intouch with each other. Every one has the mobile phone, one step further our consultant subbu has the black berry so that he can even be reached by emails on the trains of Mumbai..

The next generation has started with Kabburi and Soujanya's new Baby boy. The next generation boy has been named as Prateek on 14Aug06 . Me and Rama expecting the arrival of the new member in our family.

Round Table Dinner

Time Frame 1995-1999 (My Engineering Days)
Place KSS Hostel Mysore Jayanagar.
Scene : Night 8PM in KSS Hostel Galery...

Every day 8PM in KSS was the dinner time for all the folks in the KSS. The bhatru used to prepare the sakkat Aduige and call the folks by ringing the bell. Most of the inmates used to respond to the call by comming into the dinning area with the Plate and a Lota..

You could easily distinguish the newcommers to the KSS (they were having their own Tatte and Lota with them). -:)

I am not talking about those sincere guys.. but there were few folks who belived in kole is the only thing which can keep them happy for ever.. People call them selves as Koole Kings..
and i am one of the most active member..

Waiting for the Bhattaru to exit the scene (from dinning hall) was our usual practice. This was PJ's Takar Takar Idea.. (as we all not like him to serve us).

Me kengu and kabbur were to arrive from Downs....
a vist to all the rooms to call all the folks was common... then was the task of getting a plate (Tatte) for dinner.. We never had our own plate.. our plate was lost (this is still a mistery! abot where all the plates dissappeared?)

Only person who used to have meals in only his plate was Batsman... -:). I guess he preserved his plate through out his 4 years in hostel.. and should still have the Tatte (which got him the name Batsman) in cannada...

I am getting distracted with other information which r pitching in to my mind.. excuse me. I will create a seperate chapters for these.

Some juniors in the ground floor used to have tatte's in their hand and were just handing over to us. Some were just lying saying the plate has been taken over by some one... I pitty on them because they still had the intention of preserving the plate. -:)

Some how all of us used to manage to get the tatte.. The usual scene was Batsmen still having the meals.. He used to start the proceedings from the time of the bell and he used to continue with us. me,PJ, subbu,kengu (most prolly the bakara), kabburi, long, satis, giri, Rade ,tola, umesha were the confirmed participents for the roundtable dinner (although there was no table). There used to be some un?welcomed? guests (majid.... ) for the dinner some times.

The one of the most famous topic discussed was the Shimoga V/S Bangalore. Me, PJ, subbu and tola being the Shimoggians and rest of the people agruing for the Bangalore (even though they were not Bangaloreans).. Once we the panel from Shimoga decided to give the SET (Shimoga Entrance Test) for all the people who r non Shimogeans. Kengu was the first prey to this and he had to undergo through the trouble.

Next one among the most famous topic under discussion was the E&C kasta da Subject.
People in the E&C (particularly NIE E&C) vs other branches.. Kabburi and Long (the NIE E&C batch of 99) used to get teased left and right because of their dialogs like Out of Syllabus..
and mentioning the subjects like PULTI... AEC / DEC some thing like that...

Next come the most favourite topic of the KSS hostelite.. cricket. I could say if it was any thing that got every hostillite together was CRICKET. Topics like Tendulkar v/s lara, tendulkar's match winning ability was and is still a debatable topic.. We still have a debate when we meet and discuss. Seems like never ending debate.

If it was a day of Indian cricket match (be it ODI or Test), the discussion was leading to postmortem of the match. This was top on the agenda. If it was a day of india on the loosing side, one could see all dissappointed faces in the round table dinner, but could see the hope in each face that India will do well in next macth. .. tendulkar will score.. so on..

People used to be soo involved in the discussion that only after 1 hour people were comming back to reality and some dialogues like tomorrow i have internals, i have to submit the drawing tomorrow..

Imagine the serious faces after 1 hour, getting up from the dinning room and proceeding towards the wash area..
