Guess who?? III

Hi friends! Sorry, I kept you guys waiting for this one. Anyway I m back with one more wonderful memory of our group.Today I thought of sharing about our festival days at college. Yeah, I am talking about youthfest and culfest. Those were the biggest festivals in our college. Ofcourse navratri too was one of them but I never attended it in my three years of graduation due to personal issues. But I always tried to be present during culfest programs morning as well as evening functions. I remember our first year culfest, we all were so excited about the first day which always used to b a traditional day of culfest. All of you were so eager to see me in saree and I was seriously shocked to hear that as I thought it will make no difference to anyone if I wont attend it. That was the first time I felt that yes I too have a group of mine where I have my own place and you gals care for me. Its true after that even I was excited about that evening. It was so much fun, remember Chandu's classical song, Chitra's group song, and so many lovely memories. We all had a wonderful time. We all used to be in Fine Arts committee and AKRUTA was our head :P. We all helped in those wall paintings on water tank which is no more a tradition now :(. We used to make batches for the members and organising everything, wow I really get a lovely feeling when I think about all those wonderful and beautiful days of my life.
Now its time to guess who is she?
She is the one whom I met by chance you can say on our interview day. I could not ve met her if one of my good old school friend shifted to C division. I took her place and there I met a girl so simple, so silent and I never knew she will become so good friend of mine that I will be spending most of my college years with her. Coincidently she stayed just ten min away from my place and we both decided if we both get through the interview, we ll share the vehicle ( as i was afraid of going alone to college ;P). But you ll be surprised to know that I curse her till today for not taking me to college on our first day (orientation day). I still feel she was fully responsible for that but it was noone's mistake as we dint have mobiles in our first, so communication problems made all this happen. The next day her vehicle dumped her and this time I gathered some courage and went college alone as dint want to miss second day too. When she came to me, I was not able to recognise her, yeah she looked so different. I was like how can a behenji turn into such a fashionable gal. I was awestruck by her looks and confidence. In fact I was looking like a behenji infront of her ;D.After that we became bike buddies as we used to go together wherever we used to go, either shopping or for any exhibition. I am very bad at remembering places and roads and gali kuchas even though I m born and brought up in A'bad. But she was fab at that, you ask her anything and you ve the answer. I used to call her my physical road map :D. I really thank you darling as whatever places i know (though very few, yet to explore many more by my own) its because of you. Now coming to her nature, our sweet Sudeshna Ma'am used to call her "THE UNPREDICTABLE". It was so because she never showed her heart out in front of anyone. No doubt she cares alot about everyone but she always want that people should know whats in her mind without her telling them. But gal everyone does not ve such a capability na! I still remember the way she used to sing songs while driving even if she never knew the correct wordings. She taught me how to fool the traffic police when you are caught. She was always late for college and she used to keep me waiting for atleast 20 min daily. Once we both crossed limits of reaching late at college, we were half an hour late for midterm exam :P. We saw so many ups and downs in our relationship but till today we are together. After graduation too, we both did postgrad from the same university. Maybe destiny wanted us to be with each other. I am so glad that atleast from our group I attended her wedding, which was next to impossible for me. Even after being so close to her, being together for seven years, I still dont think i know her completely. If this is the case for me then what must be the case with all others in ripples. There is lot more to write about her as I can pages after pages on her but I m ending it here by concluding that she was the most confident and ambitious gal of our group.
Please comment gals and tell me if m wrong. Thanks for reading. :)

Guess who?? II

Hey, I m back with one more blog on my dearest friends, one of the important part of my life. The first thing that comes to my mind when I remember them is the recess time, oh gosh that 20 min break and we used to have ten or more lunch boxes to finish, n I remember the first one which used to get finish was mine. Within no time, everything in the box was gone. But, it was fun and the wild plants outside the class, which we all grew by washing hands in their pots, I wonder are still there ? (we were so lazy to go downstairs to wash our hands). Yeah, it was 2nd floor where our class was situated ;).

So, today m going to jot down some points on the sweetest girl of our group. And why not she should be called sweet, she used to love sugar so much, be it a cup of tea or curd, she wants one extra spoon of sugar for everything. :)Honestly speaking, her name should be sugary sweetheart. Our Ma'am used to say about her that she is as straight as a jalebi! :D. I still remember how she reacted when she saw me looking into her cell and that too her outbox. Instantly her first word to me was "BADTAMIS". Whoa! that was something i wont forget in my lifetime and after that have never ever touched anyone's cell phone :). Usually we say thanks to someone for some good deed but she used to say dhanyawad (loved that;) ). She used to instill such habits in us too. She was the one who coined "CHANTUDI" word. Its a sweet replacement of yaar or u can say baka ( in gujarati). Till today we address each other with that sweet chantudi. Also, she was the only beautiful girl in our group but, she used to stare at my nails throughout the class ;P. She is the princess of Limbdi, maybe the reason of her beauty :D. She is so fond of her "dadabapu", indeed, he is a great painter and this is from where she has got the great heritage of fine arts. She is so creative that she can make something so interesting from waste too. Mind well, its really hard to escape from her line of questions like why, what and where. She never allows you to leave unless and until her thirst of knowledge is fulfilled. She is just the same today too. Many guys could have been in her feet at the wink of her eye but unfortunately (for guys) she had already chosen her Mr. Perfect. The girl was amazing, as no one can top a college when one is going to get married in few months. Hats off to you gal. And, she looked so beautiful at her reception, till today I have never seen such a lovely bride. She made her parents and in-laws so proud. We all were so happy when she gave birth to our next generation of ripplite, her sweet little daughter who is going to be sarvakalabhushni!! right Chandu!!
I hope her daughter fulfills all her expectations in future, though that little gal has started doing that already.

I think I have covered all the points, girls if u feel like adding please add to it. This one is not that tough as u all know who is she...waiting for ur comments.

Guess who??

I have always been boasting that I can relate things every now and then, but today I am going to blog about those with whom I feel related. Its very wrongly said that Friends are our First Relatives In Every Difficulty. For me thats not true as my every difficulty ends from where my group RIPPLES start. Yeah, ripples, you must be thinking strange name right! But it has its meaning in itself and each and everyone in it has her own identity and value. The foundation of this group was laid way back in 2005 when we all were in our teenage. Ripples are created when we throw stone or something like that in stagnant water right! Have u seen that beautiful pattern that ripples make, their effect on water.  A particle of water within a wave does not move with the wave but rather it moves in a small circle between the wave crest and wave trough. This movement of water molecules is the same for all water molecules effected by the wave. May be this is the reason we all are still connected with each other. 

St. Xaviers College, a heaven on earth for us where we met for the first time and dont know what happened but our group was formed and we dint even know about it, after few months we started calling it as ripples but for others we were scholar group :P

Coming straight to the point why my blog title says guess who? its because I am gonna write about each one of my first relatives and lets see who guesses it correctly. :)

This is for the one who is very very simple, not only by heart but also in her appearance. She loves to read and write and is one of the gems of our ripples. Knowledge flows right from her heart through her tongue :P and she never ever leaves a chance to enlighten everyone with that. Whenever I ve visited her place, just one thing has come to my mind GREAT THINKING AND SIMPLE LIVING in all means. She is not only a knowledgeable gal but she dances well too. She believes in looking simple but the glow of confidence on her face shows it all. She is one of the intellectual person of our group but she is not proudy. She calls me affectionate darling and i love her with all my heart. She can convince anyone with her witty talks. Sometimes she has lost the balance but we had never let her fall. You may think that you know her all but will be surprised as everytime you meet her she is the new person for you. If you need some help she is just a phone call away, her soothing voice will make u feel that nothing has ever happened. We have always thought that she is so mature but have forgot to see the small child in her eyes who doesnt want to see the practicalities of life but wants to fly high no matter what! One more thing on her, once u make her laugh, u can not stop her from laughing out loud. 
All the ripples out there, read the blog and give ur comments and guess who is she among us.. and after guessing write the unsaid thing and if something I ve written wrong about her then plz comment. More to come......
