ROOM NO 209 MR SRIDHAR FROM KALPAKKAM

Room no.209, Mr.Sridhar from Kalpakkam... 

cant recollect my first conversation with him. sri got close to me cos of our naattamai arun...if we are to talk of him we can talk a lot... really a lot... can type for pages and pages, and all of that stuff will be interesting, no doubt...donno how he managed to finish Bcom and also MBA... i said this because of his enthusiasm for science... in aruns room he used to narrate his experiences inside the kalpakkam plant with such levels of enthusiasm that the moment he goes full steam, he couldnt even see whether people are around him to hear what he says... just that lonely unlucky arun sittin in front of him would fall in his eyes... the rest of the other guys would sneak out of the room sooner or later the lecture starts... our naattamai cant sneak out as it happens to be his room. his narration would normally start by about 9 or 9.30pm after our refreshing dinner at our RLIMS mess (yeah only now i can figure out from where sri has gained that extra bit of energy boosters to go ahead with his narration).. . the narration would go jus la that to anytime like midnight... 

his overall style of narration is very nice... but in particular the one thing i like the most in his narration is the expressions he brings about in his face... jus like a kid he makes use of sound effects like "dum" "damaar" "busss" "soyyynnnn.. ." and so on to add to the thrill and enthu in his narration... (pattasu I ask u a question at this moment tell me "is this why u gave him the name 'chinna payal' "?... not only does his talk stop inside the kalpakkam plant, it also goes to topics like aeroplanes, cars, rifles, pistols, machine guns, automobiles, and so on... on a normal day we used to gather in the panchayath room (room no.6) whenever we are free. undoubtedly there used to be atleast half a kg of mixture and some other snacks to refresh ourselves... its here where sri talks of his experiences. .. he alone knows his love affair with that mixture... accordin to him "a gatherin is incomplete without half a kg of mixture atleast"... 

he is so crazy about the brand "zingaro"... and i would say it with pride that i was the one who opened for him, his first ever bottle... sri, i cant forget that late night party in our hostel da... gotta thank u alone for that... some of the arguments he had had with guys like ganja, jp, jacks, abhi, raju, patna, etc are still there in my mind... but only those ones with jp & ganja are more interesting to me, but cant say exactly why... for most of our class mates, the only thing that comes to our mind when we think of him would undoubtedly be that "kurta" or "jippa" or whatever u call it... when i stayed in his room for our convocation i saw that jippa in his cupboard. when i asked him whether he still preserves it he said "i dont wear it nowadays, but still i preserve it mama. cos it brings back our college memories"...one such guy who remembers the past and never forgets a thing of the past. one such guy who shares with all every small development in his life... has a good level of helping tendancy and helps all the way he can...

just for the one u r sri, i cant forget u for my entire life... hope u too enjoyed this autogaph da sri...  

if anything missin then sorry dear lakshyans, but u kindly add them to this section to add to the enthu of the group...
