Life at Podar

The last 5 years have been just perfect. Life at Podar was something I dint imagine after stepping out of school. Still there are a few firsts and other notable things in college which I would like to list down here,

• Sidhesh Raut: sharing the same institution with you for the last 18 years has been excellent. I ll miss traveling with you, bunking together, having a crush on the same girl and most importantly fighting at home and covering up for each other for the same thing.

• Radhika Karadkar, Miloni Mehta, Preeta Mondkar and Mitali Marolia: The bond that we have shared over the years has become strong with time and I am grateful to you that you have beared with me all through these years and not once got irritated by my no-nonsense and short tempered attitude in class or even my sad jokes. Talks on katta, the usual last minute preps for the Sunday tests, the stories during coffee, and the countless plans that we made but dint work out., I ll miss them all!

• Priyanka Kanani and Apoorv Modak: I wouldn’t have come up with The Photography Club had you not given me the nod to do it. Its been quite a journey with you from the Confused and complex Piyu of FYJC to the still confused and complex piyu of TY Bcom. As for Apoo, you ll be a dear brother... i can connect with you very well!

• Kush Maheshwari and Satej Rao: The beautiful years of Junior College are all because of you. Missin the first economics paper wouldn’t have been so much enough without you around. The way we cried on our way to the station and the way we laughed in the train back… is something very few and ‘lucky’ folks like us can  experience.

• Rochil Nichani: FYJC without you would have been incomplete! Will always miss you around.

• Pratik Jain, Rohit Dube and Shreyas Guntuk: Right from playing for the soccer team in junior college till organizing RAPPORT RETRO, its been so wonderful. Just amazing. There are no other words which I can think of right now to explain my feelings about you guys.

• Rajiv Iyer: The Ladies Man! You ll marry me na? :P From the time your cell phone sang ‘kava kava’ when Anik was firing us together for bunking Petty Cash Book lectures to cracking some lame PJ’s. Life has been fun!

• Priyank Savla and Rebecca: Thank you for everything over the last two years! wasnt life much more beautiful then?

• Hanita Malharkar & Sharayu Sardesai: I know you guys will love me for writing your names together. Honey, you are one crazy girl I have met in my life. And sharayu, managing celebs so easily during Enigma you did a stupendous job!

• Jairaj Vaidya: Last day of rapport, some one walks up to me crying and telling me that he is going to miss me and hugs me saying: “I have passed two years because of you, salya!” Exams wouldn’t have been half as interesting and adventurous if not for you. J

• Pooja Shah, Kritika Matolia and Lavita Cross: Junior College was so much fun together. You guys will always be special!

• Niyati Dahisaria: I loved your sugar cube. And I ll always find time for you. No matter what. You have been my closest junior and I ll treasure the time we spent together though it was in G6 only. :P There is this bond that we share and we can connect with each other very well. Love you always. J

• Sayali Arte: You asking me to fail for 3 years is the sweetest thing that anyone has ever told me. Thanks for everything. I ll miss you more than you ll miss me.

• Noopur and Kanika Thanawala: You’ll are some brilliant talented all rounders and your kidas with Shety are so hilarious.

• Manali Patil: You ll always be special for the confusion!

• Nishant Khombadia: Hemlya, scoring for Enigma and Rapport was interesting only because of you. And the girls’ stories in and out of your life can make up for a best selling book if you author it!
• Bhagayshree Dave: The most responsible girl around. And the most misunderstood also. Thanks for everything. :)
• Priyank Sanghvi: The DJ of our batch and I really mean it when I say that i loved your mixing.
• Megh Doshi: I ll never forget you for that dialogue on you and also for the creatives of enigma and rapport! :)
• Mayuresh Kambli: Your dance moves especially ghati and contemporary are etched in my memory for ever.
• Gauri Ghag: I a really sorry for being mad at you in the admin room and i really regard you very highly for the way you took all the jokes cracked on you as they came... :) but for your bows :P
• Pranav Loke: The ride on your bike in that thandi at 3 am and having idli sambar, wada sambar and coffee and parle buscuits will be one of my most beautiful memories of life in podar!
• Vijay Chauhan: I haven't seen a funnier person than you when you are drunk. But everything in moderation is good :) love you brother!
• Pushkaraj: We had no one for comparing and hosting events. You were God sent! very talented! :)

And to all seniors who made my stay at podar memorable, a big thank you! And to those who has worked with me in the Cultural Committee for 2010-11, its been a pleasure to work with you. And to all juniors and batchmates who pured out their hearts while writing sugar cubes..... I am going back home with a treasure!
