sunny days- Part 1

Hey don't fuss-it's not another episode on how good my vacation is going on(which, in fact is right).... I wanted to write this thing for long, but forgot amidst all the petty matters.......

It's a flashback and if you thought the screen is going to assume the black and white colour it usually does, you are wrong... in fact you can not be more wrong....

The scene shifts to the second week of october , 2006.... 

Nothing happened that was life changing, but still my life was never the same after that.

That was my first days at the college and at SUNNYchayan's hostel....

The college was good, yeah it's still good.....

But the hostel was different, i never imagined that i could be happy without my brother...

but i was .......,and i never missed him for a moment.

There were 11 of us, including 2 seniors(Sijin and Sharath- have already bid goodbye to the college)...

There were fellows from every department; Aswin,Suraj,Prp and Myself from electronics ,Paul and Jordy from electrical, Anil and Renjith from Civil and Basil was alone from computer..........the seniors were from mechanical- so that completes the list...

The above point is important coz that meant we never missed the gossips of any class... 

we played cricket,badminton,caroms,cards,chess and even when we didn't do any of these., we were never less entertained....

Getting bored was a difficult proposition.

And more entertainment was provided by Mr. Sunny-the hostel owner........the guy is really a piece of work. There was never a more caring hostel owner, but only if he managed to stay sober..... Give him one peg of alcohol(actually i've no idea as to how much he drank-he never did it at home ), and he'll tell you stories that might prompt you to slap him....but of course that's not at all a viable option. He stands six feet tall and built enough to take on three of you at a time. Not that we never had any mutiny...

Of course food., i was coming to it. The breakfast and lunch were ok if you were ready to accept strange combinations. Here cometh the supper and you forget all the day's worries. I'd always known that Kottayam was the land of latex but i never knew they mixed rubber in their chappatis, at least that was what i felt......

and i shouldn't forget ponnu,sunnichayan's son.... he was in his 6th std at that time. I've never seen a guy more mature at that age. And he was a great company for me. ,right from the day i joined the hostel........

i know its not a good habit to write sequential stories but i'll complete the story tomorrow. I feel totally sleepy......
