From Bihar with Love

[John Prasanth]

Hello Class,

 

Hope this mail finds you all in good health and greater cheer of heart.

 

Once the OB lady asked us to say three things which mean the world to us. I remember my impulsive response as Honour, Valour & Chivalry. I have not yet come to the terms with the fact that God, men and woman have combined it to read thus: Humility, Meekness & Love.

 

I am very sorry that I had not been in steady touch with any of you. God - the only constant in my life and the many variables scripting my life were enough of a fight for me, that I chose seclusion and peace before I resumed group contact. Many a day in my private world, my heart would drift into the memory of our IIPM class HR, but I held back with assumed but lofty intentions. It has been a long time since the time I resolved not to try certain things in this group forum after Abi's brutal yet straight reprimand. But this group has fallen into the very trap of time that I warned it against - Indifference. To underestimate your worth or to over estimate the power of others' memory is as much a trap as familiarity breeds contempt. So here I am trying to be who I am not meant to be.

 

If any of you have not understood what the above paragraph means, it is meant to be a camouflaged request to all in the class and especially my gang of friends to judge my intentions kindly. Now to what I have in mind.

 

I thought of trying out an activity within our group which if it succeeds would roll away the distances and pull down the barriers that has crept upon us as we fight to leave our footprints against the falling sands of time. I am going to type out a few questions for which the answers are wrapped in the folds of your memory. Try to answer the quiz by challenging nostalgia. Also keep adding to the list with your own set of questions. My father used to say that there is only one thing that even God Himself cannot help a man with - Laziness. So if you are that lazy to participate, it cannot be helped and in that worst case, it would still end up giving you all atleast something to be amused about.

2. Who was the shortest, who was the tallest, who was the youngest and who was the oldest in our class?(Guesssssssssss)

 

3. Name the character in class who actually sang when we were meant to actually speak?

And exclude the time when Miss.Rethika made you all minus me sing)

 

4. By the by what is the song that Miss.Rethika made you all sing?

11. Name the character who banged the rostrum during his/her NEP presentation. I remember the person saying that in his/her life he/she constantly asked people questions, only to find out that only he/she could answer them and that was how he or she was made. He/she was also found to a more than a peer sort of inclination towards another class-room character who in turn had an preferred inclination to sit close to the wall.

14. Mirror-Mirror-On the Wall! who is the biggest bluff professor of them all? (Take your time with this one, for there are a fair few in the reckoning). Here are a few hints: The one who unabashedly declared that the purple cow was his conception. The guy with a fancy beard who with his fancy pronunciation tried unsuccessfully to convince us that he was no joke because he was the favourite student of another joker with a similar name. The guy who counts chickens before they hatch. The professor who used perverted speech to hide his ignorance or jaundiced opinions and tried proving that he was better than Kotler.  

 

15. What was that subject that none in the class truly understood and we had two people teaching us for that matter? One was an unapologetic Rajdhani Express and the other a steady muddle.

 

Have a good time rallying answers and keep posting a few questions too. God bless you all.

 

Bye,

 

John

P.S: I am sorry that I didn't respond to queries about my good being from Rajkumar, S.A.Praveen, Miss.Rethika and Yogesh in the Group mail forum some time back when I posted a birthday wish for Miss.Greeta. Nothing personal just that I was being the person who God Himself will not help. So very sorry.It won't happen again.

[Arun]

Good one John...let me take a guess for a few...

 

2) oldest --- wasnt it Nirmal?

5) i think that one was Sampurna

[John Prasanth]

Hello class,

 

I acknowledged that God Himself won't bother to interfere if you are going to be lazy for He doesn't impose Himself on anyone. But John is not that 'gentlemanly' and hence will not allow you that space nor peace. I demand your participation, but I give you a reason. Dear people there are a few billion lives in this world spread across 5 continents and together we all live in this beautiful world till that day of rewards and reckoning. Out of these several billion lives we get to see only a few thousands, meet only a few hundreds, know only a lesser few, shake hands only with even a lesser few, and share a cherished history only with a God-ordained select minority. Family, friends, school-mates, church-mates, college-mates, class-mates, bench-mates, colleagues, the neighbourhood gang and even foes all constitute that select minority with all of whom God scripts our destiny. That is the power of association. Hope you learn to cherish it.

 

I know life never finds us all in the same mood at any given instance, so in life's highway if your trudging a very difficult stretch and it is that tough for you to participate in the quiz, just type 'Hello', 'Hi', 'Howdy' or 'Cheers' next to your name. But everyone from Adithya to Miss.Zainab has to do it. Let that be a start.

 

Adithya - Do you still talk only about fast bikes, swanky cars, expensive gadgets and uptown dolls? Please participate.

 

Abiraminathan - Dey, have you come to grips with the stimulating agony of post marital life after the alluring delusion of pre marital romance? Wise uncle Abi give me some counsel. But, though you might deny me your 'now too late' wisdom, you have already gifted me hope, for if Abi could, then the day is not far in which John too would get a pretty damsel to say 'I do'. Participate da.

 

Miss.Anitha - There are so many kinds of orators. One kind are bashful, another kind are boorish and yet another rare kind embrace the spotlight. They are the 'prima donna' speakers. I guess you were one of the rare kinds and one of the most composed of speakers in our class and also the one with the strongest stamina for one-sided presentations. Please participate.

 

Anto - The naturally timid, the consciously civil and the generally affable jolly good fellow. Dey where and how are you placed in life? Please participate.

 

Arun - Dey, your mail is one reason why this mail comes in and the only reason why I had to cross-examine it for flaws atleast five times. Continue to participate.

 

Miss.Aswitha - You are one of the faithfuls. It takes a good steady heart to bother with sending even mail forwards. But give us the privilege of hearing from the 'personal' you, more often. When I side-stepped from trying to bring about some momentum within our group long back, I trusted people like you who are naturally gifted that extra dose of charm would actually stand at the gap. Please participate.

 

Baskhar - Contender in chief for class chatter-box king. Dey how are you? Please participate. 

 

Mrs.Charanya - The faintly-shy, delicately-refined and elegantly-expressive Mrs.Mahesh. Please participate.

 

Dinesh Abraham - There was a day four people prayed in that church opposite our IIPM building. How I wish I had walked away. Please participate.

 

Gautham - Language has its limitations. The only way a gentleman is defined in English literature is like this "A gentleman is a man who doesn't know to be

un-gentlemanly. So the only way I can define you is like this, "as a simple soul who represents the opposite of vain indulgence". Participate da.

 

Miss.Greeta - No offense taken for you were ever so charitable with accolades.But if that is all that I sought, I would be a content man. Please continue to participate.

 

Jaikumaran - Our Husky- voiced, mild-mannered, formal and prescribed class representative. Please participate. 

 

John - JESUS the difference between who I would have been and who I am. 

 

Jolie Vimal - Dey, with a broadband connection in your room, you dare not be passive. Participate da.

 

Loganathan - Dey don't let that spirit of hollow deception that used to hover around the 4th floor during our times at IIPM get to you. Please continue to participate.

 

Murali - Do you still give people your Iron clasp, Mr.Director? Please participate.

 

Nirmal - If I even acknowledge that a place is as close to being good as a place called Neyveli, it would be Coimbatore. You are no exception to the faith I have in the people and place that is Coimbatore. How is junior doing? Please participate.

 

Pankaj - Dey, do you remember all those wild west movies you ended up watching because you were stuck with me holed up at my place? Please participate.

 

Praveen - I always felt that there was more to you than your talent for loud unabashed male revelry. Please participate.

 

Miss.Priyadarshini - The adroitly-pert, dainty little woman. Please participate.

 

Rajkumar - HR's very own 'Chuck Norris'. Dey, slapped anyone of late? Participate da.

 

Miss.Rethika Menon - I don't need to say this. This is your group. For I always assume this virtual-group as the one that you instituted and to me you embodify its attempt at inter-connectedness. Please participate.

 

Miss.Sampurna - The contender in chief for class chatter-box queen - the deceptively calm looking, dimple cheeked prank catalyst. Please participate.

 

Sandeep - Loud confidence and out-going pomp manufactured in Andhra. Please participate.

 

Miss.Sangeetha - Soft, Softer, Softest. Please participate. 

 

Saravanan - Dey, will 'the wall' rise again or is it breached for ever? Participate da.

 

Mrs.Sonali - "A passion to lead and a willingness to follow, that I have". Can I lead? Please participate.

 

Miss.Swapna - The animated and buoyant, lightheartedly temperamental Miss.Shakespeare. Please participate.

 

Thyagarajan - Dey, do you still drive about in that vintage TVS of yours in your very own cavalier style? Please participate.

 

Vignesh - Dey, Zoology and EEE didn't matter did it? Its the marketing mix that matters. Participate da.

 

Vijay - The Cheta kadai, the smoking room, the 5th floor canteen, Hotel Royal National all experienced you first hand. All except our HR class room. Please participate.

 

Yogesh - Politically correct as genuinely possible. Please participate

 

Miss.Yvette - 'un pour tous tous pour un'. Please participate. 

 

Miss.Zainab - 'Ms.Madraswalla, I presume'. Please participate.

 

Now if you ended up reading as far as here, you most definitely could muster a reply and you should that much in the least. Take the quiz.

 

John

[Rajkumar R]

Hi Everybody,

 

I always feel like lost in a dark midnight with no backpack or flashlight and feel the hope of a bright light from no where when ever I see a mail from John and there is nothing more happier I felt than sitting in that Besant nagar beach chatting all through that night with not knowing where I am going to be for the next couple of years, I really feel the change inside and outside me everyday Mache and now I strongly believe that when we truly realize that we are all alone is when we need others the most. From the bottom of my heart I really miss each and every one of you J and John I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Keep your good work going !! and no action here John  difficult to find those characters out here.

Hi class,

 

John I must say....it was fun reading this mail. I never expected you to be such an amazing observer. You have taken notice of every minute detail, when I thought you never bothered about what happened around you.  I totally agree with you that we as a class need to continue to keep in touch with each other in spite of our busy schedules. By the way John....how is Bihar treating you? And how are you managing without your bike or have you taken it along with you?

 

John I think you missed out our cat-walk queen - Jenifer!!  So on behalf of John, I request Jenny to please participate in this group mail.

 

And Logu and the rest of the motorists of our class....PLEASE WEAR UR HELMETS. Prevention is always better than cure.

 

Hey Raj....find me a job there in the US of the A na....I'll come n join u there!!!!

 

Now to talk about me....I'm jobless at the moment. I left Aspire last year and I'm still hunting for a job. These few months had been fun to wake up late and do all those things that I missed doing while I was studying or working. I do help my dad in his business and mom in the kitchen. These have been the best times I've spent with my family.

 

I met Sampurna, Logu, Mohan and Danapal after a long time on Jan 30th at Anita & Jey's wedding reception.  I've attached one snap of theirs that I managed to take at their reception. I'm sure Jey would send a lot more snaps to the group. So John you need to excuse the newly married couple coz they might be taking sometime to settle down.

 

Anto i know is having a tough time working for a 'special project' at Indore. He seems to be learning Hindi and enjoying the north Indian dishes out there. He's gone all bald...n he shaved his hair off the previous time I met him. He scared both Sampurna n me. 

Yogi bear is reeeeeeeeeeeealllly busy out there proving his mettle at Satyam.  You all know what a hard worker he is.   And yes Hyderabad cannot function if Yogi isnt there....and that's y he hardly visits us in Chennai. Ain't I right Yogi bear?

 

Ashwitha is busy with her new venture ..... I'm so excited for her. I'll let her explain everything to you guys in detail. 

 

Saranya is preparing herself for motherhood. Congrats dear.

 

Swapna is enjoying herself at the moment and I'm waiting to read a mail from her.

 

Dinesh has been shuffling from Bangalore to Chennai too often that I just don't seem to be able to keep a track of where exactly he is.

 

Rethika.....busy. Baski.....busy. Nirmal.....busy. Praveen......busy....like this I guess every other person in that list is busy and thats why they are not responding. Or maybe never checks their mails like Murali. Or maybe they might want to write and put it off for a later date and eventually forget about replying (which usually happens in my case)

 

Anyways God bless you guys.

 

With lotsa love & prayers,

Greeta

Class HR,

 

I am a bit disappointed with the overall response. But just for Raj's mail I feel vindicated. I am really happy for the other ones who pressed some keys too. I only missed seeing a typical loyal Miss.Rethika-mail which used to be a regular courtesy-post for all original initiatives within the group.

 

I am also very sorry that I missed out Miss.Jennifer in that list I had mailed earlier .But Miss.Jennifer trust me that I realized my lapse as soon as I sent that list out. But even when composing that mail, I just couldn't convince myself that I saw you in the second year at class HR. I distinctly remember our first year association but my memory becomes vague as to our class HR association. Hope you would forgive my lapse and tag along. But thanks to Miss.Greeta for bringing it to the group's attention before I could come out with a 'better late than never' apology.

 

Miss. Greeta, I wanted to be 'Sherlock Holmes' when I grew up, and so observation and inference became twin obsessions. So its actually "Elementary my dear Watson". But thanks for making me feel so very good.

 

Miss.Sampurna thanks for the warm enquiry. Bihar is quite hot in the summers and chilly cold in the winters, and I am enjoying its different seasons as they fluctuate in-between the absolute extremes. I know it doesn't answer your enquiry. Sorry for being discourteously evasive. But, I have my reasons.

 

Dai Abi I would accept that short note you sent me for now, but I will not wait for ever.

 

For the rest of you, Hello and Bye from Bihar.

 

John

   

P.S: Dai Raj get my number from either George or Jacob and give me a ring.
