B'day gal Varsha :D

Hi! Varsee (MP)... Happy Birthday dear... I always cherish the time which we have spent together. I can never forget those crazy scooty rides, Sangam circle chaats, 2006 New Year celebration and your attempt to make me dance but the most memorable for me is the trip which we took, when we were in first PU cos that’s when we got to know each other well. While we were coming back from the trip all the way back to Bangalore we listened to music and spoke about our favorite songs. Music made us to bond with each other and I hope we always keep this bond special. Thank you for being my friend and giving me such beautiful glorious memories to remember. Wish you a very Happy Birthday. May God bless you with loads of love, luck and prosperity…Love ya lots, Muaah, Take care. Party hard and enjoy your Birthday..

Hi varsee,,, Wish you a very happy birthday :) :)
Really miss you a lot tik and also your home.. hee hee.. most of the times when we had half days or on days like holi, or to watch movies, combine studies, and not to forget our dance practices(especially maangalyam tantu naanena... ;), for which we won 1st place also.. some college,, (I don’t remember :( )and also mind blowing maahiya and some other dance which I could not do because of some leg injury :( .. For all these...the only place that wud come to our mind is "varsha's house"... so much fun those days were... Though I wasn’t so close to you initially, it was all during our last 2 yrs of engineering that we got close :)

Everyday with you during our college was so much fun!! I always used to wonder how on earth this girl has got so much energy that she keeps talking all the time... always full on and in full josh!!

Well, I really am not able to recall any particular incidents now... but when i think of you, the things that come to mind are :- A great dancer, superb singer , trass coffee, ur mom made curd rice,, and few names of the tamil specialties which you used to get for lunch... and also maddy,, our senior. Remember we both took a pic with him ;) :)

Crazy times...

And also the last time when I met you recently was so much fun!!! You haven’t changed at all the same old sweet cute girl... be the same tik... u rock :)
Love you loads:* and miss you too :(

Happy birthday once again and have a blast!!

Hey Varsha,
Have a super duper birthday :-) I miss spending time with you, I still laugh and relive the moments when I look at all the photos and reminisce all the crazy things we have done.
It’s always said that in any relationship you have to put in efforts to maintain it but with you it’s been effortless, I could be myself and knew for the fact that I would still be respected for that and that something lovely about you that you keep the other person in the comfort zone.
We might have grown apart now but I know that we will always remember each other as the other twin or kongi sisters (as people call us)There are lots of incidents involving both of us and things

about you that I would like to write but let me keep it a little short rest of it is better off in memories ( getting a little emotional when I am writing this )

It all started off in 5th semester on a Friday when we had our first stay over which was at your place the day before mind blowing mahiya auditions, we laughed our hearts out mocking at your neighbors, playing the "what you think about the other classmates " game ( if you have forgotten I will remind you sometime on chat or when we speak :-) ). I don’t remember how mind blowing mahiya dance came along but I definitely remember the fun part of it with you: P

Through you I met a lot of people who actually went on to become very important in my life at some point or the other (thanks for that) and also before I forget while writing the other stuff, I must say you were/are a very smart student because you could not only understand the subject but crack some joke about it with the lecturer: o ( one of it being the OS joke about deadlock and some trains ) while I was blinking sitting next to you, but I dint have to worry about that because anyway you would yell at me and make study all those questions given by Apsara ma'am the day before internals and we would ultimately rock :D and remember the MC internals ? Where we decided to sign and come out, it was hilarious.

And one more very funny incident was in Rekha teacher's class and the topic was wireless communication I guess. That day somehow you decided not to sit next to me even though I did not have cold or any sort of viral fever and when she asked about examples for wireless you gave an example of Khabootar ( another brilliant creative side of yours :P ) and somehow I wanted to disprove you , so I drew a picture of you with your hairstyle ( remember the b**** cut which we got ? ) and a bird with a rope tied around its neck and the dor was in your hand which proved wired communication and by the time the paper could reach your hand Rekha teacher took it off from us and you know the rest :-)

You have been my partner in crime and we have done a lot of things together, whether it is getting people the famous " b**** cut" ( Nish's hair cut) or writing testimonials ( Shru's testimonial :-) ) , playing prank on people ("guess who" game ) , watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S bloopers ( and always fought over the topic who is gonna be Phoebe and who is gonna be Ursula ) , celebrating birthdays together, composing the naga dance or drinking the trass coffee ;)

Whoops!! Did not realize how time passed when I was writing about all this (same would happen when we got together... always!!). I have attached some photos of us and dedicated a song to you. Happy birthday once again and wishing you all the happiness in the world.

Shru, such a nice thought!

Ok, so to think of I have so many memories of us and our childhood....let me think of 1 nice incident and write it down.......

The minute u say b'day...I only remember her 10th b'day. Madam wanted to celebrate birthday like other kids do, but no arrangements at home for it. No one at home in the evening, except me. (read as no cake). One by one all her secret invitees arrive for the "Birthday Party" and I had to put up instant sweets n snacks for all of them.

Then she come home n says, "You guys might scold me, so dint tell you all that I’d invited my friends".

I still remember her in that white lacy frock with a mustard jacket kind of thing and saying all this standing in a corner. But I had screamed at her royally (as usual) even though it was her b'day.

Ok so out of 4 years I am suppossed to pick ONE incident ante... ONE??? Anyway.. Here's one that I vividly remember...you'll know why :)

Rekha's class.. Nobody is listening to her.. she finally says "i'm giving blue books" .. she gives the stack to students to distribute.. finally all of us get our blue books.. and the first thing we realize is, you got 1 mark more than lens.. even though lens taught you before internals!!! You and your luck!! anywayyyyyy :) we're done seeing blue books and we start getting bored so you decide to put pieces of paper on lens hair..your usual timepass.. and I'm sitting next to you getting annoyed at you... finally you decide to open your dabba.. one side you open.. the other side shru also opens.. rekha is happily arguing with students telling them she wont give them 1 mark extra.. and students trying to justify themselves.. in all that tamasha, both you and shru are sitting on my either sides and happily munching away.. you say "hey shru give your dabba,.. i wanna eat your mom's akki rotti.." you pass that damn dabba across me to mean to give it to shru.. at that exact point, rekha gets super annoyed and looks at the three of us and says "no shame.. i'm standing here for all you ppl.. all teachers always asked me, why you support ISe batch.. but somehow i always supported you guys since 3 yrs.. i dont think i should anymore.. you ppl dont respect me only.. what nishchita eating in my class.. " and i go "ummm... no ma'am.. ummm" ... rekha goes "all 3 of you get out of my class.. dont take advantage of my leniance.. " .......and we happily go out :) :) :)


Ha ha ha ha!! Mind Blowing mahiya!!!!!! That second step we did in that song... how much you tried to teach me.. you broke that step down for me in sub steps..but i'm sure even if i still try it i wont get it!! yappa..!!

And i'll never forget our buzzintown days.. how much we used to wait for the lunch time.. yummy yummy lunch served hot.. and we used to wait so that we didnt have to go with that manager guy.. what was his name helu?? saraswati maam's manager i think... dont rem!! i think friday's in buzzintown was chole special alwa?? how many fryums you used to get and eat :) and that wait for that one cup of coffee at 4... :) and that thin guy who used to sit next to us attending phone calls remember...he used to wear major suit boot and all?? :) taking your sis's vehicle and going.. on the way dropping puppy to his school! cant forget cant forget!

Many many happy returns of the day.. have fun! wish we could all get together and cut a "pizza cake" for you again :) Once again, happy birthday!

It was that time when we had a good time in life which i would say college life and because of you there are so many memorable moments that has been created to cherish in our later part of the life .I love the way you make things excited !!!!

Still waiting for the jallebies you once promised,

Soma

The first month I met you, I thought “Such a fool…”
The next month it turned “Isn’t she cool??”
 3rd month I wondered “Aren’t her words sometimes bitter & cold?”
Few months later I realized “She’s just too too bold...!”

The hug in the CET cell changed what we were,
We became close, we began to care,
All the fun, excitement, the chaos and the notorious fame,
Without you all 4 year of Bachelors wouldn’t have been the same.

Don’t know of all, how wedding bells rung first for you, and me later
Helping us prove “Best friends are like wine, the older the better”
Such a bubbly, hyper and lovely girl you are Varsha,
In everyone’s life may you always bring harsha :P

Finally cheers to all the shit we speak &
All the stupid advices from each other we seek,
Caring and sharing our fun & fears
Lets remain the bestest friends for all the coming years!!
<3 u Varsee!!

Battle of Wits!

Keen observation and quick reaction to a situation is what i call "Wit". I don't know how i remembered this story suddenly. I am sure you will love it too.

All the sages and munis were living peacefully until the two demons Ilawala and Vatapi started troubling them. The demons ruthlessly ruined their houses, disrupted the homas and yagnas. The sages warned them saying that definitely Lord will be come to their rescue. Fear arose in Ilawala and Vatapi. They had always been hearing how Lord Shiva, Vishnu had been killing all the demons/asuras one after the other. They didn't want to be the victims too.

For a few days, they stopped troubling, but their hunger and thirst for destruction was not satisfied. After all demons are supposed to do that.:P They being magical as well came up with a plan. A plan to satiate their hunger, physical and materialistic.

They disguised themselves as sages. They began befriending few sages and invited them  home for lunch. Vatapi, took the form of food i.e various delicacies and Ilawala used to serve this on a banana leaf to the invited sage with all due respects. After the heavy lunch, Ilawala would call Vatapi out, who would rip the sage's stomach and come out thus killing the sage. Days passed and few sages started disappearing.in this manner. No one knew where they were nor they knew anything much about these new sages.

The great sage Agastya once came to perform a yagna/sacrifice in this village. After the yagna, the other sages told him their troubles with Ilawala and Vatapi and about the mystical disappearances of few sages and requested him to sort this out. He promised to help them out and hence stayed there for a few days, noticed how the sages were disappearing.

One fine day after he took his holy bath, the 2 sages invited him to their house for lunch. He noticed how plump and well-built these sages were and also their behavior was not sage-like. He guessed they must be Illawala and Vatapi. Moreover their hermitage was a little far away. All these made him more suspicious and more careful.

As promised he went to their hermitage. After the heavy but a delicious lunch, Agastya immediately said   "Vatapi jeernapi". This time when Ilawala called Vatapi out, there was no one to come out. He was digested.

That was the end to Vatapi and Illawala later apologized resorted to Sadharma.

P.S: Vatapa jeernapi is sanskrit for "Digest Vatapi".
