THE ROYAL MEXX - S3- Rise Of the Mechians !

So we had just finished our 1st year, and after an extreeeeemely looooonnnggg vacations of 10 days, it was back to college. Initially we were back into our 1st year classroom. And we loved that room !! This sem people started cutting classes ...they used to wait at the second door and as the teacher got in, they would leave. Some the more daring ones called out their numbers for attendance and ran out !! The teacher would enter with 55 in class and leave with 40 left :P!!

We had started becoming more like a family when 6 of our brothers went to TKM .. they are ...
Jayadev
Jayakrishnan
Jayakrishnan 2
Mohd. Raseen
Harish
Arif Rasheed

And new guys arrived .....

The results came in s3 and we were proud of our own Praseed ET !! 85 bloody percent !!
We also got our stupid electrical marks in which nearly everyone got around 25-30 marks less that they had expected. That sucked!!!

In s3 we had another football tournament ... we reached the semi finals ... the highlight probably being our 6-1 thrashing of the senior S6-IT class ...

The most memorable thing about S3 was probably the C++ classes . That was the first time that Mr. Jayaraj (AKA Kiliraj) taught us ... or atleast tried teachin us !! All of us hated anything to do with computers... a certain person dint even know how to operate one !! ( you know who u are!!)
And this guy comes and starts teaching as though we all knew everything about programming !! So basically that sem we got screwed in that subject !! Our main man in crime and getting into trouble the all rounder Jaikrishna got kicked out of class for throwing a piece of chalk at Manu ! That was so funny !!!!
Another funny thing that creative head Ajay used to do was switch of the supply lines when the others went to the computer lab (The main switch was in our class !! ) . Half the bloody computers used to turn off and with it the programs that the guys had written with all that pain also went down the drain. That was soooo much fun !!

The main Cpp incident thought involves our friends from the CITY ... yeps thats rite ! METRO BOYS Vishnu and Sajiv ... Vishnu dint have a text to study for the university exams .. so he and Sajiv(Who studied C++ in 12th btw ) went to the library looking for a book! And a book they did find !! They see this book labelled C# .. .and the brilliant Mr. Sajiv says " # is actually 2 +'s joined together !!" and so poor innocent Vishnu takes that book and studies C sharp all night long thinking it was C plus plus .. only to discover on the morning of the exam that it was the wrong subject .. but kudos to him for managing to pass that one!!
And so thats how our hatred to computers began !!

This sem we moved on from "chipping" and "bullets" into a more sophisticated form of entertainment ... throwing paper balls !!
And this is also the sem that Simon started giving every missed calls in the middle of class and we all would scream out the name of the owner of the cell that was ringin like mad !! :P

S3 also saw the arrival of our juniors ... we did unto them like the seniors never did unto us !! :P
The poor kids were tortured... I still remember Vishnu getting a junior guy to propose to Manu .. .the look on Manu's face was pricelesss :P .. it was fun until Arlene mam ratted on us to the principal ... like we cared !! :P
I remember 1 guy was made to dance in our class :P hehe...

By the time the juniors came we were shifted into this crappy little classroom. It was actually a big room split into 2 rooms by this stupid divider. Well the divider had a gap in it and during most of the classes, the back benchers could be seen peepin at the people in the other class or passing messages to them!!
Aaah ! The good times !!

S3 also witnessed the face off between Vishnu and Louie !!! The "banana" face off !! Louie ultimately won !! And Vishnu lost in disgrace after being a victim of the ultimate insult "Go stuff a banana in your mouth !!!" :P

We decided to throw our juniors their fresher's day !! And Jaikrishna and I shared the honors of hostin the event.. actually he did most of the hard work ... I was too lazy !!
That event saw the delivery of probably one of the most famous lines of all time !! Our very own Abhijith's "BASS KOOTI TREBLE KORAKYADA !! " We never forget to yell that out at every single college function!!
The freshers day also saw Rayu receiving "her" first kiss !!
And Me and Vishnu finally revealing to the world THE greatest dance step on earth ... it is simply known as "THE STEP"... that sem was the time Manu, Vishnu and I used to do all kindsa crappy stuff in class ! I still remember the time I did THE STEP to Metallica's Sad but true ... ( Music by Manu) ... That video was soooo hilarious !!

S3 also saw the first college elections ..with our very own Safdar and Jitin getting elected as UUC and S3 representative respectively.
Also in S3 Alen became our rep. It also saw the arrival of Sisupalan !
Alen once looked at Sisu's pic and said "I look like him"!!! ...Famous last words !!

Another weird yet memorable occasion of unity was when we heard that AICTE was coming !! We cleared the class room, borrowed a hose and started washing ... and I mean literally WASHING the class ... And that day also saw the creation of one of the greatest works of art .. Drawn by Kishore and Modelled by Vishnu ... Remember cleanin the fan Vishnu ??
We swept, washed, scrubbed and wiped till the class was sparkling clean !!
Boy that day was fun !!

S3 was also the first time we went to CET for a lab. It was SM lab that sem... we thought that was tough ... but we were wrong .. we had no idea what was in store for us the next sem ... HELL !!!
We dint have enough classes so we had to go for extra classes from 4:30 till 8:30 at night!! And the worst part was that one day the supply went and it started raining extremely heavily ! Not only did the roof have a couple hundered leaks, but the lab was getting flooded !!!
But the person who was goin to prove himself the star once again with another show of "extreme intelligence" was METRO BOY 2 Sajiv himself!! He used his amazing mathematics skills to find out that a small tiny rod was 9 METERS in diameter !!! So he finally decided that was wrong and decided to make a "small" adjustment in his calculation so he would get the right answer. And out of all the variables there at his disposal, he chose none other than the mother of all constants, "The acceleration due to gravity, g" .. he decided to make it 90 m/s^2!! Yep extremely brilliant of him wouldnt you say??? ..he flunked that by the way :P

S3 also witnessed the emergence of the artistic skills of Sreejith ... cos every single hour he used to shape a standard pencil into these beautiful works of art using just a normal blade! Yea thats called "Joblessness"!!!

Back to S3 ... another great day was Onam Celebrations !! The poor artists of our class arrived early in the morning to draw the pattern for the attapoo and found to their horror and dismay that the locals had drawn it already. And that day the flowers arrived reaaaal late. .. but at the end everyone chipped in and we managed to finish it in time. And then we went for the "Tug of War" .. it was an S3 team then .... we got beaten royally :P. But the most fun came after that. Vishnu, Jitin and I returned to class and that was when we had a brainstorm !! Lets bloody throw the flowers at each other !!! And so it started as a small "Flower fight " between the threee of us .. but soon the "Violence" engulfed the entire class and everyone started throwin flowers at each other. I remember Vishnu and I going and gettin a "refill" !! We got a huuuugggee basket full of flowers from the seniors and getting back into the fight !! After a few hours .. we needed a new idea ... and we got it !! There was a small length of rope and we decided to tie someone to the window and decorate him and for that we chose our perpetual scapegoat ... Manu S Das. So we tied him to the window as planned and made him a pretty little flower boy !!

Also that very same day we wer witness to the greatest show of guitaring talent ... delivered by our very own ... and the University's very own ... Abhay Mohan .. AKA Afay Boban ! He played amazing imaginary air guitar that day. And that was soooo bloody hilarious !!!

I also remember us doin "THE STEP" in a line in front of the other two classes!! :P

We also had a new year party that year ...at Abhijith's place .. and that day we were pulling Nabeil's leg .. you see , Abhi's monitor had this problem ... the screen was predominantly red because of some fault in the connecting wire. But Nabeil dint know that ... so when he arrived fashionably late as usual and asked us why on earth the screen was red, we pretended there was nothing wrong with the screen at all .. and the worst part is that he actually bought that !!!
Boy that sure was fun!

Anyways ...

Eda also add the incident during the onam celebrations where Manu was give a cup of whisky by the senior probably coz he had that Kanju look ..
The TKM vala u kno him ??
well i agree with him ....Vishnu episode was the highlight of that sem...
An error crept in .....
Vishnu came to kno about C# not the day of the exam . Instead 9:45 night the day before..He called me ...
And actually he passed coz and essay which i taught him well during the morning of the exams came without any change in the question....
And he promised u about a treat if he passes CPP....
Add that too under some heading like
"I DIDNT SUCK AT CPP " Or "THE GRAND BETRAYAL"
And do add something about Abhi and his fight with adithyan

This is to inform all readers of this blog that Mr.Vishnu dismisses all claims by Mr.Aphay that he was the "Savior" of my client and that my client doesnot remember being taught any essay by Mr.Aphay and that even if such an incident did take place it would earn Mr.Vishnu a maximum score of only 20 marks which under no cicumstances would be enough to pass the alleged examination as per Kerala University regulations.My client hereby asks Mr.Aphay to take back his claims and apologise to him or my client will be forced to press charges.Also my client suggests Mr.Aphay to pay attention to the rules and regulations set by his own fathers inside the university building and other associated buildings inside the university campus.

Considering the unfortunate turn of events my client Mr.Vishnu hereby formally apologises to Mr.Aphay ,to his claims that my client had disclosed certain family ties ,comments on which could have been avoided.My client expresses his deepest apologies but still maintains his view that Mr.Aphay should take into account facts, especially when they involve his own family,before making his statements public.

Abhay said...

This statement is to further clarify the apology that my client had earlier given to Mr.Aphay.My client doesnot want to involve Mr.Aphay's family in the whole issue.My clients apology was intended for any previous mention of them in his statements. My client hereby declares that he has no knowledge of any relations that existed between Mr.Aphay and University of Kerala.But my client warns Mr.Aphay that if he makes any further allegations in this regard it will only result in much worser consequences.
