Ossome Maniacs rule !! :)

Okkkk!! 8 days to go for the boards....I'm in an almost-comfortable situation with OM, done with pracs, vivas and all that jazz and well its the countdown to 'D-Day' rather 'D-month' :P Detailed plans for what to do after the boards have already been planned notwithstanding the fact that I'm gonna be missing almost 10 days of CPT lecs thanks to OM which ends on 18th March as opposed to the General stream which ends on the 9th.....

There...I'm cribbing about OM AGAIN..kitna sara portion hai, Ma'm gave the notes so late, how will we study, kuch samajh nahi raha hai! blah blah! As a matter of fact we've been cribbing,bitching and 'gaali dalofying' (G Jajoo :P ) OM almost every single day..

Today was a bumper day..I had everything at one go-OM vivas, Maths pracs and English orals. Well the rest of the stuff doesnt hold much importance for me..but the fact that it was our LAST viva..the last time we were there in ONE class TOGETHER...the last time we were gonna crib about stuff..the last time we were gonna have the wonderful and ever-helpful Shivani Ma'm with us...sigh..it was the last time for a lot of things for us Ossome Maniacs.

As we entered the class, there was complete chaos all around..someone was hurriedly copying the report, someone was having a nervous fit (read : W.H.I.R), someone was having a last minute revision through the project hardcopy (Sha,J,Jajoo,Shranya etc etc), someone was giving finishing touches to their file (to impress the external ;) )and yet others were screaming their lungs out...WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS TO COMMUNICATION!!! (Well for the record it was me :P )

Aahh!! To a rank outsider this might seem like a 'Machchi Market' ( like our schoolo teachers used to call our class) but well to an Ossome Maniac, to me, THIS was home. THIS was my family of the past two years. THESE were the people I had grown to love. As I was giving heavenly gyaan to others ( Chill maar yaar!! You'll be fine dude! ) I found my hands becoming sweaty and cold (so much for gyaan from Siddhi baba :P )..I sat back for a moment, soaking in the noise , the sight of the people I loved so much, people with whom I'd spent sleepless nights making projects and blabbing blah blah, people who had scolded me and screamed at me (literally) just coz I dint have my food on time... the list is endless. With some sheets in my hand, I looked around....I saw the faces of my bestest friends around me ...

Behind me was W.H.I.R a.k.a Kru...I cant imagine how she must have been feeling. She was anyway full on nervous ( for K, OM + Mathematics = HELL! ). Adding to that was the fact that it was indeed her LAST day with the OM class...last day as a Podarite :( I dont know how and when we became so close but yea..inspite of all our differences and similarities the fact is that she is one of my BESTEST friend..someone whom I can rely on without thinking twice and someone who knows me almost as much as I do if not more (gosh! she even 'analyses' my writing :\ :D ) and ya she has this knack of guessing who my crushes will be (and she's also accurate ;) ) Well her tareef will have special place in the next post :) But ya, K I proclaim publicly, you're the BESTEST! Love you sooo much!! :D ( I know you hate PDA ;) )

Vals a.k.a Gandhu was sitting beside me, in her dream world, not caring about anything at all and as cool as an icecream...Maaan! She's the 'shant prani' of our group! She's the stabilising force of our group...and I love her too!

A perfect contrast to Vals is Sha..bubbly but outspoken who has the knack of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and landing herself in trouble...A die hard Anik Sir lover she is the kiddo and tp machine of our group :)

There are so many other people I'd like to mention! G Jajoo my partner-in-crime for troubling WHIR. God our plans are fantabulouslystupendouslyfantastic :P And THAT look on WHIR's face is priceless!! in her words - Go die!! / Go naaa! :P

Then there's the to-be-topper Dha3, my lit partner. She's the one to talk about books GD's etc etc! My supposed bf A, our drummer girl Chi, the Chappatti Boy ;) , WHIR's Badminton guy :P, Pink se obsessed Kuku, Sha se obsessed S, crazy behind my 'class appointed bf' Shwe, my Twilight/HP ki saathi Prabhu, our 'non-team' member Bhaggu and so on :)

Almost 2 years ago on a rainy morn of 29th July,2008, a shy,nervous but eager girl out her foot in R.A.Podar She was vary of leaving school friends and wondered whether college life would be half as good as school or it would be as bad as some of her friends had told her. She wasn't even sure if her choice of subject was the right one and whether she would be able to cope up with it with all the travelling...but well, the choice was made and there she was, sitting in M1,wondering how life would be. But as she met her classmates, got to know them better, her thought process took a complete U-turn. All of a sudden the very place she was fearing to go to became the place she feared leaving. Twas a place which had become her home,where she'd rather hangout than anywhere else in the world. Undoubtedly her having great seniors and friends in other classes was a big point which made her fall in love with Podar. But the credit primarily went to her class.. THE Ossome Maniacs :) She knew she couldnt have had a better class than that!

And That girl...was ME.

I'm soooo gonna miss all you guys! Ad and I couldnt have gotten a more supportive class! You guys are the bestest ever! Some of our beautiful(est) memories...

The year is coming to an end...and today was the LAST time I saw my class :(

I Love Ossome Maniacs!!!
