On the roof of Ecstacy!!

Temu, Abhijit Das( hardly any one knows him by his name, he is the lost brother of Alpha, Beta and Theta), that's me in Blue and I do not like cricket, Kedu holding my cheeks, Genda holding onto his, and finally Tanumoy having his share of cheek-business on Genda's cheek. The Monument you see in the background are the ruins of Indus Valley civilization, also known as Fourth Frolic. Doesn't matter though how it looked from outside, coz ..fourth was the most psycho hostel. Had almost max of our wild parties there, and of course Thapa was there..so Mehfil to waha hi jamtee thee...

Ye Reshmee Zulfein..

Its the same team..this time we are sitting on the water tank of our hostel..donno what Kedu found so interesting in Genda's hair..is there aything out there..the world of the unknown opens up once you unfurl the hair of Genda..after all..he has to live up to his name..

Kedu and Genda are upto some short skit or prank, Kedia is always good with his role as a Diarrohoea patient ,..see how natural he is with his acting as one who is choking on his own puke..man very nasty thought...ewwww..And why do they call me Ninja..Can you see my eyes..I ccan see with my eyes closed..!!!

Men in shorts..except for Abu

Borah, Purki, Jhingoor from Halflong, Munni, Me..and hey..what's Baggu doing outside the frame? Don't be shy Baggu....that's Flor-o-sense written in the background..

Khub Jamegee Mehfil..jab mil baithenge Deewane Paanch!!

Bhatakti, Bhatakeshwar..for those who still don't know his name..its Srinivas Ravindra, Kalita..(I am Paati Haati from Dhubri you can be my friend!!Gaari main Paani, Jhaari main Paani..Chaddti Jabbaanee!!) Thapa( he's the guy solely responsible for all the psycho lingo including heiko), Pratik..notrth calorina like this..Peene ke baad bahut nautanki karta hai aur public ki bahut leta hai..And of course thats me in the right ..its Kalita's Room..

Any wild guesses why they call him Bhataktee,..Pratik is clicking this time, so he aint there...why not talk more about Kalita..his first love ..cricket..his favourite word..Darling.. which he uses with reference to many females, sorry cannot mention their names,..his favourite songs..Guttar Gutaam(Dalaal), Lootela( who's the singer??) and the immortal Chal Gori..Paati roxxx.. and Thapa..control ur laughter..nahi re..tu jitna chahe has ..bhai mere..

Mil gaya woh..jo churake ..meri aankhon se nindiyaan..le gaya tha..door ek gaanv hai..wahaan thandee chaav hai..behti nadiyaa hai..jaana hai nadiyaa ke paar..kare mera intezaar..Mera Bichhda Yaar..Mera Bichhdaa Yaar!!!!

I feel particularly proud of this one..this was taken at Kedia's departure..he had plans bfore of leaving with Dhol and everyone..together that evening, but due to some (unknown) reasons(lol, who doesnt know it why he left early?), he had to leave that morning, only to come back..ask Dhol why did he come back..I am the wrong person to enquire about this..back to the pic..L-R: H(%@, Roop, Debu, Mama, Kedu, Dhol, Purki, Prejith, Bhoot, Toofan( can't mention his other famous name)..btw we had just returned after bidding farewell to Supradeep..and yet again crying like hell..all are sobbing..except for Dhol..is he dry in there, or he's too much of a man?

With dear juniors of 5th Hostel..Nalin Rana, Gauraav Thakar, and arindam Mandal..lush gren backdrop..our campus is just plain simple paradise..Miss you all guys..

Does anything comes in close to those days? Yeah, College days were very interesting with the air of freedom, and real wild fights, and close friends and partying night outs..but the days under the "Chatra-Chaya" of "Naani" had its own charm, one which is absolutely not comparable...

Tiffin Sessions in the back-field, cricket matches, Sanu marking names of those who spoke in Bengali etc. , Nani's cruel punishments and caning, Silly,unreasonable Computer classes, Library Sessions with books by Enid Blyton,Sir Moni's and Ajay's P.T.Classes, Bulletin Boards, March Past, Suchismita Gupta's classes, Sir Chakravarty's "Advanced" Mathematics,
Sister Titus' "saliva-soaked" Social Studies, Shamik's weird pranks, Shamshad's beating up BKT, the confusing controversies,Sanu's affair/s, Chira,Hostel girls and boys speaking in the thick Khasi accent, Jahirul imitating them( Miss , Miss Himadri wants Makrina , Melina and Veronica),Sports week, Sir Moni lifting up unconscious girls in the assembly during the National Anthem...

Sanu's school song ( unplugged version , Sanskaar TV Spl mix ), Madam Debanjana(where is she?), Ma'am Dasgupta's biology classes( skipping of vital chapters), Marwari Batch(are they married yet?),Hindi -Bengali-Assamese classroom shifting , Unnecessary Elementary Subjects,Cricket Balls getting lost in the back field due to sixers getting hit,Blue,Red,Green and Yellow Houses..last heard it had been renamed to something weird,Abhishek Jain's physique(shouldn't make fun of him though) and TT,Cheera-juta, Jyoti Club Quizzes

Class IX and X--tuitions, bunking classes for its tuition test,Sister Cornelly's Special Classes,
Abha Orhi teaching Moral Science,weirdo Work-Experience with dry-stem and plaster of paris,Teacher's day rehearsals,and of course..the open-air("bloom bloom")Farewell..
