the birthday carol...

note- like usual the v man yet again seems to have posted prior to me. so that gives me a petite factor to contribute with, and i myself am not aware from where to start. damn you vysakh, leave some detail for me!(THE finger!)

prologue- yes! the last post was more of an eviction order for all the regular invitees to 207 but it all started with rohin. the evening after the our last exam, ringg ringg and guess who's heading to wreck it all, the man in workshop clothing, rohin(:P). from then on, its been him and thanks to the fact that "cedric the entertainer's" exams were over too. combining these two, what do you get-hullabaloo.. but having the tiny puny conscious lingering within us, we guys managed (ohh did i forget to put 'managed' in " "..!) to put in some vectored effort towards study, yes!! the first week of exams tagged sleepless and we all hated it just as much. regulars of the day were, shuttling between home and hostel-running through the hostel corridor-hunting down resources-no water to drink-stinky loos-combined study comprising of 8 guys-midnight-2am-4am-"little" nap-GULP-7am-revision with toothbrush-uniform with tea-staircase with tension,tat'tat'tat and kaaboom, EXAM HALL, blackout! allah dammyit..!

the timeline...

day 1- the dusk to the showdown which we will all reminisce no matter how long from now. "sreekutty's bday bash" started with bidding goodbyes to irene at the airport and then the god damned(!!) rain which kinda knobbed the agendum in mind. blah to that! now back home where sreeja was made the princess(DUH!) and walked the red carpet to the 21 candle light scrumptious birthday cake. so what do you think will happen when you have cake and martian people like us...hades! after the cake makeover session, the ramp was all set for nothing but fantabulous slumber. "first come first serve" was the rule for bed space which left me and zubin stray off to the other room (no no, dont let your mind wander!). 

day 2- morning 8am...KNOCK! that was my head and my feet in my premises as well(;)).. wonder why i got that one from jen-C? all the boys ang girls taking turns to rush foam into their mouths and some of them weirdly finding it amusing to talk during the process. argh! all dressed by now, the photo session starts with the boys all going props, foregorund and background to the lens and doing whatever possible to be everywhere in the picture. now to the ladies, blah... so poof did we all go for the CUSAT tour(yawn!) and then a little of baskin robbins and VEG lunch. please dont remind me about that. now what is a party at 207 without stepping in sandunes yeah'.. this time it was our treat to sreeja so the private room impressed us and knocked the bday girl as well. i always wonder when will we not be welcomed there. destination home was the objective after all the hookah dazed and confused. home sweet home with yet again  torn clothes and butt loads of time to waste... hungry kya'..!?tho dominos kaa..!and that was just what we did. zoom to the pizza place and zoom to haven and zapp to the pizzas when they were unpacked. even the cheese didnt get enough time to settle in, it was forced to melt. hooligans, i say!

day 3- the entertainer and ms DOC leaves in the morning with the trademarked kiss from the DOC. that was the only thing i (prefer to) remember. the rest of us lazing around in pyjamas or whatever he or she was wearing then decides to hit the road for the leftover in the agenda. movie was the end of it. wait..did i say movie, i bet that most will only remember nothing but the name of that movie. no, it was not sleepless in seattle.

day 3n+1(we are engineering students)- gape, drool, stare, scratch, lick, play with toes, kick stones, bite nails, eat leaves, turn pages, commmode, coop, hump(thought i shouldnt make zubin feel left out)...

well that was basically the most myopic way in which i could describe the set of days that will remain. hemorrhage of despair or whatever saddening in you is what we at the "domain of awesommness", are good at. ;)

and i owe it all to sreeja's knifelike contagious gag, rohin's hercules "kallipppe" scowl, susan's "i am your mommy" posture, dilu's "lets's ride" attitude, tiddly merin's officious elan, jenC's "dont piss me off"(GULP), suthin's evergreen laughs that can kill, vysakh's sympathetic accomplice grin and zubin's tendancy to always be the "unexpected" one.   

regards,
jazim

PS: to all those dumasses who made it for the bash ie., sreeja, rohin, jenC, dilu, merin and susan.. i dare you to step in at our place before 30th of this month. hmph! this one goes to irene and tessy as well. hmph to you too..!
:P

did i just say dry day?

my previous post here included statements that emphasized the seriousness of our upcoming....im sorry....ONGOING exams. and jazim's post further implied the same message i had wanted to send out : STAY OUT OF 207 DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL! and i was sure that the message had settled in all of us, especially believed that the tenants ourselves would enforce it.

boy, how wrong could i be?

april 8th was zubin's, jazim's and my 3rd exam. april 20th was the next.
april 9th was sreeja's birthday. u do the math, and u will know that we could take a couple of days off safely from our studying. and that's exactly what had happened...on april 8th,we brought the guests home(actually, the rest of the gang is losing its "guest" status...we might as well pass them all a duplicate of our keys). despite a mess up due to lack of communication between us that evening(it's bound to happen between close friends, gotta accept that, right?), we threw a great midnight treat for sreeja...had gotten her a surprise birthday cake and she just couldn't wait to blow the flames off the 21 candles and share its waxy(kudos 2 the candles 4 tht!) yet delicious taste with all of us while the camera kept clicking. that was one moment for all of us to cherish.

the next 2 days included baskin robbins, north indian veg food, sheesha(our bday gift for sreeja btw), dominoes(sreeja's treat for us), fast & furious and marrybrown with the farewell at the railway station. all-in-all, yet another memorable day to be marked in our calenders. 

personally, the highlighting features of this little get-together were the small moments...our conversations throughout the night, merin's blasphemy, the unexpected drunkenness from the 4th 'tenant' who doesn't pay rent, the chemistry between two particular individuals, 6 people getting squashed on the bed trying to sleep etc etc aaaaaaaaaaaand above all.........sreeja's laugh. i can still hear it ringing in my head :)

so that's a valid enough reason as to why the tenants were suffering from a hangover during the aftermath. but we are indeed getting back to our feet, definitely not gonna give up on these exams. and that's why once again, we say...STAY OUT OF 207 DURING THE REST OF APRIL!!

yet i know you guys will come barging through the door any day to create more memories at 207. and guess what? we love it.

yours sincerely
