Happy Days-1

This was exactly a decade ago I joined in a engineering college.The time I started understanding any language (either telugu or english) I had only one thing in my mind.I have to become a mechanical engineer,no I should say my over flowing confidence never thought anything except "I will be a mechanical engineer".Perhaps,my interest towards car toys made me to think like this.
Though I had few good options to select my college,my dad preferred me to join in a college where I do not meet my +2 friends.But this did not help me in anyway except I became very familiar to all the gullies in and around hyderabad.There was some kind of fresh feeling inside my heart.This might be due to the arrogance that I cracked my entrance exam and I stood in a much better position which I never even dreamed of in my wildest dreams ever.
I was little nervous when I started to my college on my first day.My dad accompanied me to the college.I was thrilled looking at our campus.That's really huge and it is no where connected to the city environment.As a teenager, my eyes started looking for beautiful girls who joined my branch. Unfortunately,I was very late to the registration process and I missed to meet my class guys on that day.My heart said then"chillax dude,you have 4 long years to make friendship with your class girls.Do not hurry."I got convinced listening to my inner voice and headed back home.
May be the long journey or the kind of environment in the college,I was very regularly irregular to the college.I used to bunk college and roam along with my +2 buddies.
One day,this was exactly 2 months after my first day at the college.I was waiting for my college bus at Koti bus-stop,a guy approached me(since I was very irregular in attending the college,I was not sure whether he is from my branch).I could only see a big colgate confidence smile on his face and bindi.Apparently,this guy is from my branch and he started like this "hey,you will definetely get detained".I was like"dude,who the F*** are you?".I was not able to recollect his face.Looked like a total joker face,then I thought"his face cannot fit in mechanical engineering,he must be from IT branch." He introduced himself as Venkatesh-9000 rank.As if it is like Colonel Singh from left wing.
He scared shit out of me telling that lack of attendance might put me in trouble and eventually leading to my detention from 1st year.I almost pissed in my pants :(.But,as a student from mathematical background I did all math and figured out that attending labs continuously will raise my attendance percentage.All the faces where very new.I went straight to our workshop.We were divided as groups and told to get a feel of the workshop.I have a weakness from my birth.I can't keep my mouth shut and I always talk sarcastically and criticize anyone very wittily(my friends say that :)).
The moment has arrived and guess what,two average looking girls in our group.I was like, common it is the time to play your card,concentrate on your strength.I started talking all non-sense while bending my head and writing something.Whenever I say something I hear a girl trying to control her laugh.I did not want to raise my head and look at who is trying to laugh.Felt little sheepish to look at gals.Slowly,I observed a tall thin girl with average looks and dusky complexion responding to my nonsensical stuff.I do not know her name,I heard somebody calling her by her name "Priya,take your notes."Oh...ok..not a very bad beginning.
The next day when I went to the class,Priya was the only girl-friend to wish me warmly.Then my heart said"Biayya,emi luck ra needi".Days passed by,I exactly do not remember how I became friends with Abhilash and Aadithya(partners in crime).We became a very good network aka group in the class.Priya,Aadithya,Abhilash,Venkatesh and Mr.Sudhakar.Though it was some months I started attending the college I still did not know the names of classmates.I always overheard a name called "Latasha,Matasha...etc"and tried to figure out who is the alien creature in our class.
One day,all our class guys were coming back from a lab and accidentally a girl stamped my foot and instantly apologized me.As an arrogant teenager I asked her"Why did you stamp my feet and why are you apologizing?"She was out of her mind and she was awestruck for that reaction from me.I was neither bothered to find out her name nor to look at her face.Eventually,I came to know that she is Swathi Natasha not any latasha or matasha.I will come back to her little later.
We five used to have loads of fun in the 1st year of our engineering.And ofcourse,whole class also used to bunk sit in the canteen or goto a movie.
The story continues.....
