In Chemistry Practical Exam on this particular day, I got Copper Carbonate. Now, please don’t ask me what I did with this chemical back then. It’s almost close to three decades now, yaar.

With the approaching summer heat, which, as usual, is unbearable, our HM was discussing the possibility of fixing ceiling fans to all our cubicles. Some good news for us, back then.

A note on short forms: 😉

Well, Ray is short for Raymond, Karups is short for Karuppiah [the most intelligent guy in our class].

Please don't be harsh on a teenager's diary entries that contain a few random spelling mistakes

Gowtham, Ranjan and Arun were all assembled in Bhaskar’s room for some casual conversation time.

The discussions veered around the controversial depiction of Mt. Everest as part of China in the Manorama Year Book 1995. Karups was arguing that Mt. Everest was NOT in China.

Bolyn from Manipur was the most humorous guy around. It was a real delight to have him around us, since his humorous facial expressions and gestures alone were enough to make us rofl. Guys always wanted him around, because he always made others around him happy, with his good-natured humour!  ;-)

Daniel Ponraj was nicknamed Phoolan Dev(i) by Riyaz, and Riyaz was ‘cross’ with his Phoolan for leaving him behind when he went for his tea and snacks. Girish [who did his schooling – upto grade X - in Indian Language School, Lagos, Nigeria] was also a renowned chess champ amongst us. He would deliberately tease us for a game of Chess and have that cute, impish glee on him, when he checkmates his opponent each and every time. Yet another connoisseur of the game was my bestie Sunil, and you may want to read about a game of chess that I had had with him, HERE on our past post. 😊

Girish loved playing chess with me. He had a few books on the game with him as well. On this particular day, after our casual chat, he slept in my bed. I waited for long, for him to get up, but sensing that he’d gone overboard to snoring mode, I had to gently wake him up at around 12.45 am [midnight] to help myself at my bed. 😉

Hostel days, were in short, the most unforgettable days in our lives, when, without an iota of care or a worry, you just had to go to your classes, read, eat, chat, play, sleep, REPEAT! read, eat, chat, play, sleep, REPEAT!!!  😊
