Reunion | The classroom

The classroom

Not that we had just one classroom over our 8 semesters in college. But the corner room in Mother Teresa block has been special. Looking back we shifted between Anna block, Abdul Kalam(AK) block and Mother Teresa(MT) block during the course span. All these three will pull different strings from our guitar speaking metaphorically that is.

What follows is a recap that only a few could relate to:

Anna block bound all of us as one class. I knew Anandakumar, Ganesh, Jagadish and Babuji walking into that class. Babuji being from Royapuram and the rest from my class in the first year. I still remember the day I was set up as Student Representative for the class. Myself and Prasanna Prakash were put on that position. That year also saw the genesis of Super XI, introduction of L.Jegan, Lavanya and other Diploma students. TechnoTalk (News letter) brought all of us together and not to forget the infamous industrial  visit to Elnet technologies. Myself, Prasanna, Murugappan and Meera Tony had fun while organising those events. Amidst all this we switched various classes in Anna block and AK block is an entirely different story. Eating snacks during Indhra Gandhi ma'am class was a classic. The first seminar that I and Aishwarya had to take for the Digital systems paper. It also had my first arrear paper in Digital systems.

3,4 and 5th semesters where a period of bliss and all these class rooms had lots to do between them. The college culturals event, the symposium each forms a distinct period of transit in that era.Running into the 6th semester Super XI was an inseparable bunch and a known gang name to reckon with in the college. Lots of games, lots of paper bits passing, lots of poems, lots of phone calls, lots of SMS and just whole lots of fun. By this time Section A - B divide came into place. Hearing that debate between students and staffs alike was so kiddish. What started as a divide and conquer strategy blew up into a serious head ache. By this time Pranam came into place and it also had our trip to Kodaikanal, Munnar as part of our college trip.

To describe each will take a blog in itself and a ride down the memory lane. On that day 19th, December I just happen for a moment relive all these memories with the actors who played their original roles. We had a couple of photo shoots and videos. We were meandering around the classroom when it was time to leave. Atlast we had to leave and next stop was SkyWalk in Aminjikarai to have our lunch. The episode reached its climax when Jagadish arrived on the scene. Jaga despite his 36 hours journery was more alive than the rest of us on that special day. A few laughs and gags and time finally had its say. We bid adieu and cut short our programs and called it a day.
