Bunking classes, sneakin to movie halls, booze treats for no apparent reasons, having accounts at VSP canteen, late night coffees, xeroxing semester books in the last minute, carrying chits to college, the 'very serious' immature love flings,
sleepless nights, hanging out at chai-wala checking out the so called 'babes of Chennai'...hmmmm.Anyway in the light of me completing 4yrs of work after college, me and some friends decided to arrange for the college re-union of S.R.M Engineerings 2005 I.T batch.

Considering the 120 people from the class, I'd safely assume that only some 80 are left in India and an even lesser number left in Chennai (hardly 30...!). However we had a pretty good number of 10-12, who showed up, all guys only though...No girls invited since it was a booze pardy. Lotta familar faces...same old comments & jokes...I suddenly felt the sheer reality that no matter what, guys will be guys. The entire gang was all excited and interacting the same way we used to, in college.

Same old jokes of Raghu, 'partnership kallai' of Chatti & Ralf, victimised Rajiv, silent observations by me and ofcourse the uncontrolled drinking of all. For those few hours, we were not professional from different industries but the same group of college kids (as in 2001- 05) and i felt that sweet sense of being 16 yrs again. Although the fact that this would be over in a few hours and when i wake up the next day, its gonna be back to same work life, sent a chill through my spine. How i wish those good ol' college days never got over...!

By far our college is the only one in India that I've heard of, to have a 3 star hotel inside the campus with 2 bar's as well and a co-ed hostel too. Come what may i'd say college life was one of the best times in my life and a major part of it goes to the fact that we were all in S.R.M.Engineering College (www.srmuniv.ac.in/). Long live SRMites...Cheers to all...!!!
