Yesterday had a hearty chat with one of my dear friend Anant on g talk. Anant goes back to my golden days of flat in Chennai. When I met Anant , I had joined IFMR and was undergoing my intial training with SIG at Mumbai. Anant had joined the MF team at SIG. Both of us joined our base at Chennai and went house hunting... that was the time when we met dada... the quintessential charmer....the happy go lucky guy... our lovable dada... with him we went house hunting and finally zeroed down on a 3 bhk flat in Egmore in Chennai... initially we were 4 of us but Somnath left for hyd in between... the real heroes of the story came a few months later... we were joined by vermaji from Patna... how i met vermaji and how he was treated the 1st day in our house is part of folk legend now.... later were joined by puru (who was a old friend of mine) who later ascended the status of babahood in the long run...
the fun, camaraderie and the blast we had in Vijay Villa (our buiding's name) was simply mind blowing comapred to all the experinec we had till now.... I have heard people call a posting in chennai as 'saza ye chennaipaani' and try their utmost to leave for a more 'suitable' location...but i guess given a option today all of us will want to go back to vijay villa and start staying together like old days....
all of us now in different cities still miss those golden days where we will have Saturday night party with sound box blaring music from a laptop... where we took long walks on the beach.... or where we suddenly got up arranged for bikes and went off to pondicherry at the dead of the night.. these are all things which all of us will trade our right arm to get back...
the whole gang was such support to each other.. and we all did it with such selfless approach and whats more.. we never had an argument nor a fight in the entire 1 and half years that we stayed there....
though we used to have topics of 'general' interest on juicy topic called paricharcha or goshthi in which people were only supposed to address each other and argue in shoodh hindi - courtesy Vermaji....
those late night flat parties where everybody will crib abt their boss and where we will finish off all tikli jokes....
of the Sundays when we will all get up late and will have a very late lunch (sometimes close to dinner infact)....
of the divide in our brotherhood on sunday on issues of 'sakahari' and 'mansahari' debate.. which will inevitably end with a roar of laughter.....
we all still miss those days....
we miss the pakau jokes of dada sent at teh dead of the night and the action thereafter.....
we miss the babavani of BLONDER BABA who will pull off any bluff only thru the magic of sheer arguments and words....
we miss the goshthi and paricharcha of Vernmaji and our constant request to dada of 'dada pyar karado'...
we miss the intellectual depth of anant and suyash (each fighting to prove a point in their discssion so deep that it used to be a journey to the bottom of the earth...
of guddu's hllariou jokes and sarthak's romantic guitar or the shero shayari by baba....
VVian guyz ... if you are reading this blog it is my tribute to all of you.... and to your contribution of keeping the VVian spirit goin....
Long live VVians!!!
P.S: Now I hear that our flat is taken up by 6 hot chick who are all airhostess... we are not complaining though.... are we guyz....
