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 :)

Let me write about the gal who wrote this...
I am not writing first and forever impression about her(i don't want to spoil her blog here by copying her master piece ;))....
Div is a cute smiling who behaves kiddish sometimes and matured sometimes,cares about the one who she loves,talkative,mischievous ;),always tries her best to get everybody to assemble even for small small things just to make sure that
all have enough fun.When she is around even silent ppl like me(as she says ;)) will be more talkative than anybody.Always tries her best to balance among all her friends,
got bit bad memory though :P, but overall a kinda GEM.Btw she is the topper of our aprameya group(dont knw hw many times we pulled her leg by saying so:D).All and all a wonderful person to be with :).

Pavan said...

Krishna has already written great things about Div. I have nothing much to add, except... WE ARE ON A BREAK! (This is our 752nd fight, FYI)

P.S : Div will (delete/make me delete) this comment coz this irritates her.

John Melvin said...

My God !!!!!! i din know u ppl thought i was so baaaaaadddd..... :D

Pavan said...

Read all the impressions again,in detail. Ankur's is the funniest :D. And special upvotes to Ash & Vim for that quality called straight-forwardness :)

I am pretty hazy about my first impression of everyone. What is important is there are lasting impressions ;).Also, I feel like apologizing to everyone for giving a very wrong first impression of myself ;). Only Krish knew me well I guess,though we were only so-so friends in college.

ashwini said...

i just have one word to say about divs...she's the true ROCKSTAR of the gang!;)...never too tired or lazy or bored to go tat extra mile to just light up a smile in her dear ones lives...kudos to u! :)
@pavan n krish :FYI,Yest, I set my foot onto the great holy grail , aka Third floor! :D...

Rashmi sandeep said...

such a sweeeeet post :)
When I received the SMSs from div , I thought she is some insane person :D but when I met her , she seemed sane enough :D so I was pretty confused abt miss Divya :D But it was cleared after we were put into Nortel and in the same team ;)
I dont remember talking to Pavan at all during training :D Even I thought that he is one of those types who doesnt speak to girls :D
I knew that this Krish is a weird character. This impression was bcoz of something he said during training :D We were all doing this ATM project. I asked Sriram ( krish's partner in project ) as to how they were selecting the primary key for storing customer details, He said " cusomer name" . So I said , since many customer's can have the same name, we cannot do so. This Krish interrupts and says " U dont use it. We will use the same and do the project differently " :D I decided that this guy is a gone case :D
John , I thought must be a very shy and silent guy since he didnt speak to me at all , even when I tried to speak to him :D

Guys, Rashmi sent me this link and has threatened if i dont write comments... hence scribbling this during lunch break.
Good that you guys are writing blog about each other and its only about each other :))
Rashmi is marketing this blog for days now... :)
guys, if possible write something generic which others can also enjoy reading (its not that i'm not enjoying this read ;))
Gud luck to all... happy deepavali...

Divya said...

@rashmi

@pavan
Please spare me Pavan..I ll never ever tell you that you irritate me. :P

@krish & Ashu
thanks for such a cute description :)

@sandeep
dont worry its only the initial few days of josh i am sure next month onwards u ll see only few of us blogging on something more general:D

Pavan said...

When Rash was in college,she believed people who sent messages are insane . But it was cleared when she joined nortel

I agree With Deepu :D. some insanity will prevail,hopefully ;)

John Melvin said...

@Div : Impressions--> She is always right.. End of Story .... Wait wait, i missed something... She loves to fight ... :)

@Rash: I spoke to you at that bus stop near aprameyah.. You looked scared and ran away.. I was never shy.. may be i was nervous to talk to you coz of the hype neergund had created abt you being the JCE babe :) ...

@Pav: Good that u reached home safely.. Expecting some Good news from there :) :)...

Vimala said...

A bunch of nicest people you ll ever meet ( excluding me of course :) ) They all have a special quality of accepting a person for who they are and appreciating the different things that they have to offer.

The blog is full of appreciation for each and every one of its members but I am sure over the period of time everyone has thrown their share of tantrums. The TFTs have always shown himalayan patience during those times and have never failed to appreciate whenever possible.

Most of the TFTs have the "Life is short, why make a big deal of small issues " kind of attitude. Some try valiantly to be mean and bad but fail miserably when it comes to actual execution. I felt free and utterly secure in their loving embrace and their infectitious good will has taught me to be as patient as I possibly can be :)

Vidhya said...

hey divs, its such a beautiful blog... but trust me I was not coming only for lunch, because of that reason... the thing is i was extremely bad at time management at work... I used to go very late to home so I thought coffee breaks would be take more of my time... and trust me i regret all the times when i have missed coffee breaks or wonderful trips with you guys..., I am extremely lucky to have friends like you and I am lucky enough to be a part of your life..though may be not an integral group... ok ok enough of getting emotional...I may not play a very important role like others but thanks for taking me as a part of your group (though may be not a part of the core group).. cheers :)

Kavya said...
