As I look back,2009 wasn’t all that a great year for certain reasons but it was simply a Life Altering year for a lot more reasons. “Pappu Pass Ho Gaya” would be the first thing that I would say when it comes to my academic stats,finally with lot of pain and grief I am now a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering(That’s what my certificate which is yet to come is supposed to say).So the year 2009 has made me a ‘Bachelor’(I am, yes I am…lol) who is yet to ‘Master’ his world.

As I look back, the first thing that comes to my mind is the New Year celebrations 2009;I celebrating thebeginning of yet another year and of course “My Birthday”(Yup,lucky brat I am…???) with my partners in crime, all of them in fact. Our celebrations started at Ramada & Loungevity on December 31’st and went on four days which was Archana’s Birthday too(Yes, she’s a Capricorn too) and how can I forget the days ahead, cos technically we all were broke badly after that LOL.(so technically we were the first to be hit by Recession  ..LOL). And a lot has changed since then, a lot ….

Yes Indiavision had already loosen its grips making me and Asif technically ‘Jobless’(We were program producers cum VJ there ya see). So unlike all other men who would probably look for another job, we were quite geniuses-We did nothing. Asif had decided his destiny, he was just waiting for the path to show up and yes the year 2009 did show him one and now he has taken the first step towards his destiny.

And the movie “Ritu” just gave him enough push for everyone to see the “Actor” in him or in his own words to see the “Kutty Tiger” in him(means small Tiger….Really ! he is …LOL).The picture put up was taken when we went wish Asif “All the success” as he was leaving for the shoot of ‘Ritu’.

Archana was already expecting a call for the movie, “Patanathil Bootham” which she apparently did not take up and she was the Chairperson of our club-“the Jobless club”(LOL..i just made up that now). But then her Life too took a U-turn when Lal Sir, asked her to play Kunjumallu of Neelathamara. So there goes our chairperson (LOL).

I am going to miss them for certain but I am very happy that they have been bestowed with what they deserve. As for me, my transition from Program Producer of Yes Indiavision to Director (Operations) of my own startup firm took its course of time and my journey so far been Fun & troublesome.

As I look back,2009 has placed a whole new world has been placed in my front and told me ‘Beta ! Yeh hai Duniya !’ and I ask back ‘Yeh Beta Kaun Hai’(Ah ! OK …..Bad joke, I always try you see).a lot has changed around Shruti(@shrutikutu) has now migrated to Trivandrum, Jyoti now in UK,Anup now thinking of quitting smoking & Alcohol(I forgot the last time he took this decision..LOL),Shweta now doing her final Semester, Ajeesh still not got laid in UK(someone find him a Chic .Please!),Rakesh(stuck somewhere),Mathew at Mumbai,Anitha decided to reduce her weight by 4 Kgs(I bet she still would be like a 100 Kgs..LOL) recession, Re.1 for Twitter SMS’s in Airtel(LOL..Now that was a good one ).Something’s still unchanged though Sithara(@SitharaP),Abilash(@abbbii ),Sunil; Happy everyone still here for me ! Thanks Guys!

As I look back,I learned that Life ahead is more back…….

As i was getting back from Trivandrum,exhausted,tired and with very down hearted spirits,i was hurrying my way to find my ride from Ernakulam Railway station.Like any other guy who just wanted to get home after a tiresome day,i was not all that willing to gaze around to see whats happening at the railway station,but as I was hurrying my way` out my eyes did catch up with a gang of youngsters who were waiting for scripting another exciting time of  their Life.All sitting on their bags singing,making noise with high spirits and excitement and I could do nothing but Smile and get lost in those golden days we all have had or still going through-College Life !

Back in college days,me and moi team used to travel a lot.Oh ! i missed it but our college had a wonderful bunch of talents who did everything under the Sun except going to our own college for classes,instead we use to attend almost all Inter-College Events. Aah! i was part of the Dance Team-MOKSHA and together with our Music Band-OLIVE we really used to create a bang wherever we went. I still remember the days we travelled from Kottayam to Ernakulam,late night,hungry,tired,general class tickets but one thing unbeaten- High Spirits ! Don’t take me wrong folks,non of us were Drunk but all the events we took part always were a reason for celebrations.In those days when cinematic days was the cult,our team with the guidance of Sreejith Sir(Thakadimi Fame and now in Amrita Super Dancer) brought a new trend which is still followed- Contemporary Dance. Ok ! i needn’t speak more on that.Let’s have a video that we performed for one of the dance shows in Television.

Olive,the music band was also very unique in its genre. The team eventually made a  music album which was well received by the industry and few of its members have made their mark in the Reality Shows that are famous in this part of the country.

i am sure every team-mate of mine will have loads of stories to tell much more than i got. But just wanted to tell them all a Big thank you for making those days as glorious as it could be.Kudos to FISAT and the team behind it !(Oh ! Did i mention that FISAT is the name of the college i did my engineering from..LOL).There is more to right,but for now just a thought,just a nostalgia…..
