"aaha..indiala bala vivah crime aachayda..avanga veetla theriyatho?"

"freeya kudutha phenol kuda kudikara gumbal ithu...full meals kudutha venamna sola porom.."

Enga final year examsku munnadi kadisia naanga ellarum onna attend panna event athan..soon after that each one was busy searching fo projects and placements we hardly had time to get together and meet. Enga princy sonnathoda artham anniki thaan purinjuthu. We all had a final meet before the week when the break started for the exams.
Usualla..kalakalanu irukara enga gang anniki semma silent..yarumay pesala..ellar mugathulayum oru sogam...
"machi..examsku leave potrulamnu irukenda..arrears irukara sakula college vantu polamla..."
"ipdi madathanam yosikarthula una adichika aalay kedayathu guna..ethana thdava arrears ezhuthuva athuvum ellarum una mathiri weight party ila machi...placement nambi than pozhapay iruku'
"ennada thideernu statuslam izhukareenga..."
"hold on hold on..wait...intha hour inimay namaku thirumba kedaikathuda...en adichikareenga...intha last one monthalye therinjiruchi..veli ulagam nammla enna pana poguthunu..we hardly had time to meet..ungalalaam paakama pesama ennamo mathiri irunthalum...thidernu vayasana mathiri irukuda...family resposibilitynu ithanala verum vaarthaiya ketathoda artham ipo than puriyuthu...bala casela inum tough..he already has his own family...he should hit the ground running..innum 1 or 2 year kazhichi...elarum enga iruka poromo..epdi iruka poromo...aana nalla positionla kandipa irupomnu enaku nambikka iruku...lets take a pledge..atleast once in a month we should all meet and have fun.."
We all murmured our agreement..
"dei...inada athukula enamo alvida solitu pirinjita mathiri pose kudukareenga...picture inum mudila kanungala...adutha varam exam ozhunga mudikara
vazhiya papom..all the best to all of us..."

"Dei..Ram...rishi enanmo solitu poitanda..enaku aana yosichukuda paaka mudila...namma college life ivlo seekram mudiya poratha nenacha romba kashtama irukuda..infact enaku intha campus vitu velila poga bayama iruku..vela kedaikkuma...enala en family repsonsibilitiesla handle panna mudiyumanu yosicha thookamay vara matenguthu..."
"Kavalapadatha machi..elarukum athey case than..enna nee solita velila...micha per solalla...doesnt mean rest are any courageous...ellam nalla nadakumda...dont worry...innum pathu varusham kazhichi..ethachum MNCla manager postla irunthu itha yosicihi nee sirichikitu irupa...engalam apo nyabgam vachika..."
"Shiva ipo irunthiruntha avanay namakellam vela poatu kuduthirupanla.."
For a moment it felt as if someone twitched the innards of my stomach...i was at a loss for words...we left silently..

Exams got over and we were asked to check for our result in the web..kadisiya nanga ellarum meet panna venue net cafe..
Danny and Guna came early and were checking results...
"OR pass..Real analysis Pass..Dynamics through...Stats through...sozhar kulathil oru Under graduate...nagaraja sozhan B.Sc vaazhganu ipovay gosham kekuthay...."
"vaada Ram...machi..naama ellarum pass.."
"enna machi ipdi solita..arrears ilama pass panitia.nalla paruda...usualla oru numberla miss aaidichinu lottery ticket mathiri solva..."
"dei kalaikathada..enakay avamaanama iruku...revaluation kekalaamnu iruken.."
That was the last meet which all of us attended...Rishi left early telling he had some interview to catch up. The realisaion that things are not going to be same anymore was hard hitting..
