Every time a year passes by we tend to review it but this time around neither did i realise that a year had passed, nor did i feel the need to review it as it had felt like a lifetime than a year...but then thank you kapoor for helping me write yet another blog....instances were galore in this one year and listing them would be a very tedious process but then there are a few people especially a few guys who have really made a change,

Ani, the ultimate tension diffuser, can get humour into any situation and have you in splits when you would have really liked to bash a person up, stop taking that belly and u'll do a whole lot of good to the world and yourself, the nice nerd who finishes first always, going to top for sure though...be the same da kapsa, that element of fun would definitely be missing without you

Mardia, the man without whom there could possibly be no fun, no offence there mardia, he is a quintessential part of every event of fun and joy and with his terrific one liners and the opportunities for *mediation* that he provides me with, he simply rocks, stud boy of the batch

Abhay, don't worry, u can add this to ur CV and it will enhance your opportunities to getp laced, one heck of a friend who cares about his placements a lot, terrific sense of timing like that last one at Khas Bhag when Mardia asked, was that meant to be a joke and abhay says no its a riddle, now answer....u rock aps

H.I.M Aditya Milind Gupte, my saviour and partner in crime in class....justified by Asha Bhandari's refusal to take a combined viva inspite of our joint project. The big bad 21 year old virgin of the batch...wonder how i would have lived in the floor and the class without him and his impeccable wisecracks...i still remember how the circus got over and how everyone becomes adi's best friend at times that too with a big hug, in great spirits always ;) keep being in great spirits my friend and stop that smoking pleaseeee

Bagdi, Bagad, BAgda, Minor, the list of names keeps going on courtesy kapsa, the ultimate friendship material that anyone can come across in life, wonder how i would have crossed one year without him or whom i would have told things that i have told him, his logical solutions to situations can make u laugh at first and then u realise the sense it had in it and doesnt mean to be funny but then his actions can have you in splits like *Saawariya :D* u make life simpler da bagdi...rock on and keep pulling me on

Titsa, Atit and a very bad one courtesy RLB - P sa, Pranav, the storehouse of information ad secrets, takes it all in and never lets it out and never shares his secrets bad boy....i've told u dont do that...i've done psychology not u ;) ... neway looks for *fun* always and in everything....keep rocking on titsa

Debo, the footballer par supreme inspite of not getting a penalty on target...never mind debo u still are the best...an indispensable member of the erstwhile Repeat Study Group also an indispensable member of the hostel fun group....can get in anywhere and come out of anywhere, can get up and question Amar Singh only to be told u dont know anything sit down... go debo go, score next time around we will still be cheering for u, until u get it in the back of the net ;)

Sunny Baba, the ultimate words of wisdom that flow out of his mouth can make no sense at times but at times....they can really pull you through....thanks to you i came out through the toughest period i faced in the one year that has whizzed past...and i came through unscathed with those motivational speeches delivered by His Holiness....the only guy i have ever screamed at NLU for no fault of either of us ... Keep preaching sunny as i know their value more than anyone else....

Aman with your sense of logic and ethics which often pulled adi and me through, thy incomparable academic knowledge and much more for which we the humble ones bow in submission, aptly summed up by Shonty, "And God created Aman"

then the guys like Avi, Anish, Param, Chanda with his Chandaisms, Bum P with his irrelevant arguments for the unholy sporting teams and icons, Darya with your relentless streaming ;) ... u all have made the one year as much fun as it can be and have provided a glimpse of what the four years would be which have me raring to go back to that same old place and slog it out for 4 years just for all this fun :)

The next one.......shall come soon

TIll then
