The 1st impression that never lasted :D

you must have often heard that the 1st impression is the last one..but my experience with this gang was totally the opposite ! :D (pretty long blog ! dont sleep off :D )

Rashmi -
1st impression : I have told this story for the zenith time now. I had msged rashmi during our 8th sem exams ( got her number somehow :D ) and asked her if she got her joining date. The reply i got was a plain "NO". I politely replied to it saying "i am sorry if i disturbed you, all the best for your exams". Once again a reply that left me blinking- "thank you". Wat an arrogant gal! I know she doesnt know me but wat the hell! cant a person just say hi hello or atleast use a smiley. I stayed away from her for the whole training period :P

Last impression : she is a sweetheart and an angel! :) An amazing friend and person !

Pavan -
1st impression : "Hey did u get your results?". I always thought he is a nerd when we initially met in aprameyah, so I used to selectively ask such questions (not that i spoke to him much :P). He sat on the last bench and was never seen talking to a GIRL. Basically i thought of staying away from him coz he's a book worm and boring types. soo unlike me :D

Last impression : I havent spoken to anyone else in the gang as much i talk to this idiot. We fight like hell. He is a one crazy guy and my best pal.:) ( currently we are on a break! X( )

Krish -
1st impression : I knew him months before I joined sasken, through ORKUT. I thought he was a talkative and bubbly kinda guy (atleast his orkut profile said so plus he was from PESIT !!! ). Some gal I know was totally ga ga over him coz of his coding skills :D

Last impression : Krish is an incarnation of silence :D Its been soo difficult to get him to talk during our coffee breaks. He is a total Family guy and he loves his cousins, his sister, guitar and jaynagar 4th block :D But I have learnt how to make him talk after getting frequent lifts to sony world :D He is the chocolate boy of our gang and I am sure he's won million hearts just with his cute smile :)

John -
1st impression : I (and all other gals in aprameyah) thought john was the most indecent guy in sasken after a playing a game of truth and dare with him :D. There were people who pitied me and rash just because we also were gonna work in nortel with John. We tried our best to speak less to him or avoid situations where he used to start off with the nonsense talks :D

last impression: He tries to show that he's all ruff and tuff but I havent seen a more sensitive guy than john. He'll act like a baby at times when is totally down. If you have any problem , he'll help u find the weirdest possible solution for it :D he is also give 'n' excuses for one mistake done to 'n' different people :D He always takes the center stage when he's in the crowd ! cheers to you buddy :)

Ankur -
1st impression: You guys wont belive it, We thought ankur used to leave early from aprameyah to roam ard with his friends or party :D. A total spendthrift and spoilt guy. ( I really dunnno why we thought so :D ).

last impression : he's the uncle scrooge of the gang. (He still didnt pay me for the tickets i booked :D). He's got the amazing sense of humor that you just wont stop laughing if he's around . He's a total foodie and loves anything with Aloo in it. I was almost in tears when he said he was leaving the next day ( Ya he gave us only 1 day of notice !! :( )

Surya -
1st impression: When Rao introduced her for the 1st time, I really thought she's like any other "pretty northie gal", snobbish and arrogant. She used to talk a lot only to her oriya friends and hardly speak a word when she was with us, so I thought she didnt like our company and tried my best to translate things to her (TFT is a kannada majority group :P)

Last impression : Sweet charming gal who's got enough problems of her own to deal with. I wonder where she gets the strength to deal with them. :D No wonder Vinayak was smitten by her coz she's got all the qualities of a homely girl. The translation still continues though :D

Vimala -
My 1st to last impression of vimala remained the same ! :D She loves attention and can speak for days together without boring the listener :) She's very straightforeward and I love that quality of her's (Coz I am a diplomat :D ) and she's always there when you need a shoulder to cry on or any gal talk ;).

Ashwini -
My 1st to last impression of Ashu also remained the same ! :D From the day 1 i met her, she's been talking nonstop and cracking ADJs. Infact i used to go to sneha's & ashu's room to hear all these ADJs. Thanks a ton to Rashmi to having brought this master piece of god into our lives. She has this "I dont give a damn" attitude which is only namesake coz she's really sensitive. She lives for her friends and loved ones (like me like me :D ). She's got the smile that have broken many hearts for sure. She's the best buddy one can have ! :)

Vidhya -
1st impression: Frankly, we didnt want her in our gang :D she never used to come for coffee (even today :D ) and met us only for lunch so we werent very keen to get her into the gang thinking she just comes coz she has no other company.
last impression : she's a part and parcel of the gang now. (even my office gang ) The tone in her voice (its really cute :)) makes her the target of most of the jokes but she's never been a spoilt sport. Always on her toes for any outings, full of life (with her songs ! :D) and always there to listen to my miseries ( be it complaints abt work, Pavan, Manager or any1 else :D )

IN short, I just love you guys ! Thanks for being the best friends I could ever get :)

Deepavu ninnade , gaaLiyu ninnade , aaradirali beLaku ...

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY DEEPAVALI :)

GENTLE REMINDER!!! :D

There have been bdays , celebrations and treats lately . But then , some people have as usual forgot to wish their friends on the D-day :D So hope this post acts as a reminder and reference for them henceforth :D

People who religiously forget bdays :

Myself - well , I am very bad at these things , but somehow I have managed to wish all my friends on their bdays before its too late :D Nowadays ( I guess its only after shifting to Bangalore ) I have started wishing at 12 in the night itself ;) I was unaware of this trend when I was in Mysore and couldn't think of disturbing people at 12 in the night to wish or get a call at 12 in the night for my bday as well :D

Ankur : Nobody expects wishes from Ankur on the D-day itself . If he happens to remember it in next 3 or 4 days and call you , you can consider yourself very lucky :D On my last bday , he called me exactly on my bday :O .well well , he didn't actually remember that it was my bday , but had generally called :D I made that out after talking for sometime and then reminded him myself :D :D

John : John was fine until he was in blr ( So I think :D ) . But once he has shifted to Gurgaon , he hasn't remembered a single bday :P And in order to console people on whose bday he forgot to wish , he tries to forget the next coming bday as well :D .Equality you see :D

Krish : Krish usually remembers to wish , but forgot Div's bday last time. And next day he calls her and wishes and says he remembered coz I came in his dream and scolded him for not wishing Div :D

Vim : Vim and myself belong to the same category. She also has somehow managed to wish everyone on their bdays :D

And hats off to Div, Pavan , Ash and Surya for remembering everyone's bday and also thanks to Div who tries her best to get us all together and arrange a celebration for each occasion :)

Today's gossip... When is pavan's marriage ?? shhhhh!!

Its been quite a long time tht we (tarles) started bugging pav abt his marriage.Whenver he comes back from home first thing we used to enquire was abt his parents proposal for his marriage.He does hesitate abt this topic as its bit controversial(as he thinks) and provokes others to bug him which makes him to move to comfort zone by tellin tht his parents are always behind him for tht but he is not ready yet. But let me tell u something till nw he fell for very few gals(as far as i knw) and one of them is a bank employee(it seems he saw her only once :D) in his home town.. Even nw we enquire him abt her whenever he comes back from home. BTw he bought a new yamaha sport bike which is bit comfortable for him to take a gal for a long ride :D, hope he will get a chance soon....check his reasons for not getting married soon(hehe ;) bit wired reasons than our excuse master's excuses!!! (who is this!!..ill come to this part in some other blog :D)) .... Paapa his parents want him to get married soon but he is still thinking of getting a gal and taking her a ride on his super bike ..... Till he gets married we will be asking pav when is ur marriage ?? :D .....

Third Floor Tarles!!!

Finally! First a long chain mail to initiate the idea,then a longer mail for a title (which has not ended BTW) and weeks of procrastinating later, it has arrived. Its too late for something as formal as an intro now, so there will be none. There is no point in this blog, no agenda and hopefully as you will see in the posts, no sense as well. The blog is created only because.....because OUR MEMORIES SUCK!

Ah, and one more thing. The co-authors of this blog do not want their social life disrupted by all the fame and attention that's bound to happen sooner or later. But every blog needs a human face behind it. As usual, I stepped forward. I shall sacrifice my public life for the upliftment of the blog; of the group. I will become the face of this blog. So send all the fan mail (and the brickbats, rotten tomatoes and anything similarly fancy) to me and me alone. I shall pass on the credit.

As the cliche goes, its just the beginning ;)
