Umang 2005 - Part 2

During this year our principal was very generous and opened the recreation room in college. Our classes use to be on top floor and recreation room was also on top floor. When this happened very few guys use to attend classes, we use to find most of them in recreation room. I use to play table tennis at that time a lot. Kunal was fond of playing carrom. He got into partnership with shailesh. Shailesh was a state level carroms player. Now Kunal and shailesh formed a formidable team and finally they won the finals. Siddharth Sah(TE E/t) wass very good in TT and nobody in college could defeat him at that point of time. During this time i made a good friendship with Rohan Kunder, as we use to play together a lot. I was placed in a second rounds match against siddharth and as the fate would have been i lost. The final was played between siddharth and one more guy from BE-niranjan i guess. They both were the best players in our college. Siddharth won the match. In this Fest luckily i was in thick of things. I did compering also for Singing Competition. I was paired with Christine, the beautiful, cute and sexy gal. We both didnt knew each other but after that became good friends where we still share good friendship. We both met 1 day before the competition and decided how we would coordinate and play our chords on stage. The competition took place on first floor remeber where library use to be at that time and we both gelled really well. We both had decided that we would flirt at stage so that we can set the grounds for romantic songs. We both shared a good rapport and jugalbandi was a hit as we both got loads of compliments and many hard looks and stares also. Flirting wid her was real fun!!!!!!! In the second half suchitra took over and as she would have done, really an excellent job. The best compliment i got was a gal from BE- Biomed,cant remember her name. She had a name in college for not talking to any guy from college as she had a great attitude, thats what i had heard. It was a feel good thing for me. The fest turned out real fun during finals of singing competition. Later I joined all of my friends in pulling everyones legs who initialliy were pulling my leg while i was doing compering. Started by our group soon it was immitated by the college and it turned a big nightmare for participants. Us din hamari aawaz hi baith gayi. Sach mein bahut maza aaya, real fun. So on the day of Tie and Saree Day all guys and gals came dressed candidly.It is the day where every guy looks forward so that he can act smart and gals look forward for guys compliments!!!!!!!!!! Ab in sab ke beech mein Mr.Alag haan Kunal Pandey Tshirt mein aaye. Aur gale mein daali tie. Humne bola yeh kaunsa style hai.........alag banana tha nazar mein aana tha. But so sad kuch fayda nahin hua......Hard Luck bro!!!!!!!!!!There were so many cards that were dedicated to gals by guys. Some laid the foundation for relationships ....... . .. lucky few but as always kuch ki aashayein, tamnayein reh gayi dil mein. Ajay played his cards well. Usne Aditi Bhosale ko rose queen bana diya. But is baar usse fayda nahin hua kyunki ladki ne usse tang de diya. Rohan ki taraf se rose gaya Shripriya ko. Kya baat hai shripriya boli ......... roni so swetttttt. maa kasam koku sahi hai. Hum log peeche se bole lage reh lage reh. Are practice kar raha tha. Usse aadat hai practice match khelne ki real match se pehle. Fir Ketan ki taraf se shibna ko. meri taraf se Preeta ko. Are kisi ne masti kiya tha........socho socho yeh toh sahi hai aranya ki taraf se ritika ko..... kya baat hai jisne bhi mazaak kiya aranya bahut khush hua. Kahin dur raman khada tha pole ke saath chipke hue. Wohi uska sahara tha yaar.

Wit this i am putting an end to our second year. Will soon write about the third year of our engg life.

Umang 2005- Part 1

The time went a full circle and we were back into our party Zone.......well we were never out of it to be back but still....... This is Fun Time- Umang 2005. Honestly this was like half marathon not a full fledged fest. But still we were happy atleast dere is something better then nothing. The ground was all set........ So in the beginning groups were formed for Fashion Show and later for Dance- both for inter-college events. Both the groups use to practice mostly at same time. I became lucky to be a part of dance group and more so to witness the fashion show practice. Most of the group members for fashion show were all who performed last time. In gals- Nisha, Shirisha, Divya, Namarata etc and in guyz - Mohit, Bharat, Abhiskek, Jayesh, Darpan etc. I can pretty well remember that partner of Nisha was Mohit and i had real great fun wid mohit. He use to make lot of funny faces. Us waqt meri sameer se bhi aur achi dosti ho gayi. Namarata use to practice for fashion show aur sameer wahan ruka rehtha tha uske liye. I was chosen as the medium for their interaction as they couldn't do it openly. Reason: Namrata ke bade bhai ka dost bhi wahan par tha aur usse sab pata chalta rehtha tha. So she was scared. So back 2 fashion show- the gal that had set stage on fire was Priya. She was in Final Year of Civil and was the General secretary of college. Whoa wat a performance........she gave the oomph factor to so many guys. In dance there were mainly 2 gals - prateeksha and namarata sarjekar. This was the time i came to know of two gals. In guyz- Ritesh, Mayank, I and shriekanth. We all performed only at one place in KJ Somaiya college. Ab yaar mauka mila tha toh kuch use toh karna chahiye. BUt hamare college ko toh jante ho na. But I had a good time. I have to admit Namarta Sarjekar was really good at dance and she was the main attraction while performing. Sports were the biggest attraction for guys. Box Cricket the most popular of all sports event in all indoor events. All the college gathered at one point to witness the great rivalries. That was the only time i got an opportunity to lead a complete team and the result our team was in finals of Box Cricket tournament. In the team there was no star player but a team full of committed players. Rohan Kokate, Rohan Patil, Shailesh, Ketan Kale, Sameer Khanolkar, Sandeep Rai and i. Fortunately i got an opportunity to lead and the team performed beyond its expectations. Rohan and sameer once rescued the team, sandeep and ketan played superbly.........Everyone chipped in, i will say every team that we faced could bat well but the stand out factor in our team was bowling. Shailesh bowled brilliantly i will say and the fielding at the boundary and near batsmen was superb. Our team almost stopped every possible run virtually making scoring opportunities tough. Our first match was against FE which we won easily as expected. But in the middle of the tournament we had to confront the Favourites. He was the sports secretary at that time. Ramzan, an allrounder and tough competitor in Box cricket. We stood tall and majorly our belief and confidence that we can win helped us to shore the win on our side. Now we were the favourites to win the tournament as it progressed we improved our performances virtually. I did experimented few times as before final i wanted the team to have experience of both batting first and chasing. In the middle we batted first after chasing the scores so many times. Final was against Ashish's team. They even created furore by being the first FE team to ever come into final. He was a very popular guy. Now the match was between FE and SE, nobody could have dreamed of anything like this. We batted second and needed to chase an easy score of 21 in 4 overs. All the FE gathered there for the teams support. We were going easy as i did scored 11 in first over. But soon saw a sudden collapse. I wanted to take most of the strike and winning the final, that thought weighed on me. Rohan patil gave away his wicket so that i could bat on. Rohan Kokate got run out as i ran to the strikers end not giving thought into my partners view. I committed mistakes and that i knew could have costed us dearly. Now it was all left on me to win the match. But someone got me runout and it was the end. In this match sandeep was not playing so we took chance with nil. BUt you remeber he loves to walk.....he was in so hurry that he hit the ball outside and walked away. We lost. The best opportunity went away, the dream, glory all was gone in a flash. While parallely there were other cricket matches going on -Overarm Cricket. This time the matches were not beteween classes but between the departments. So here was Team from E/T dept. where i got a chance to play as an opener. I was the sole representative from SE E/T. First match was against Chemical, they were again favourites to win the match. E/T i guess never performed to the potential and E/T teams were always considered cakewalks. We scored pretty decently - 102 in 12 overs. Mohit-the model was in chemicals team and he was in the form of his life. He put up a splendid bowling performance,i can pretty well remember he bowled atleats 10-12 wides before finishing his over. By no time our teams score was 64 in 6 overs. There was drinks break and i got out on score of 26 trying to hit the ball out of ground. Overall we played well and won our first match easily. All credit to bowlers who bowled superbly especially juffin -BE E/T. We were into semifinals and next match was against IT led by Lucky. We scored around 140 in 18 overs. All of us thought we had played first session well now its time to give our best in second session. We started pretty well. They were 56/6 in 8 overs. We thought it would be tough for them and we have nailed the match. I was that confident that i was thinking of Final match and my batting, how would i build my innings. But Lucky on its own turned the tide and the match. he batted out of skin and sensibly to take his team home. I will say they had the luck on their side also. As in final moments when runrate was getting beyond them they got few nicks which helped them in their task and were slightly away from WK from catches. But it was not supposed to be our day and we lost. We all were heartbroken but that is just a match. Eventually IT won the finals and Lucky guided the weak team on its shoulders to glory.

Trip to Mahabaleshwar - Part 2

Continuing back -The gals and guys were starting to enjoy each others company. Gals sat in beginning and guys at back. Dono saath mein baith jaye yeh toh ho nahin sakta tha. I know wat u will b thinkin.......Heyyyyyyyy gus are not old fashioned but sum1 shuld cooperate u see. So shruti proposed that lets play antakshri. Are bache hai kya. Ab shruti ne bola toh ankur na kaise bole. Kunal ka bhi purpose serve ho raha tha. So evry1 joined in and started playing. Toh ladkon ke liye aaye ankur, aranya, kunal, satish aur ladkiyon ki taraf se jhansi ki rani-shruti. Bas ladkiyon ne shuru kiya aur ladkon ne khatam. Piche se ketan saare gano ke beech mein kuch na kuch gaa raha tha aur sabki maar raha tha. Ab iske beech mein entertainment bhi toh hona chahiye na. Mein toh seriously bore ho gaya aur so gaya raat ko. Are Antakshri.........too old fashioned man!!!!!!!!!!!! AB competition chalta raha. kabhi ladke toh kabhi ladkiyan........Hey tum log kitne knotty ho!!!!!!!!! Are gaana gane mein..........badmash kahinke. Shruti boli i am champion , kunal toh pehle se hi khunas kha ke baitha tha. Ab last mein toh aisa lag raha tha game sirf do jan khel rahe hai. Bas situation waise hi thi, old muvie - Padosan. Haan apna Sunil dutt, kishore kumar wali. Bas same situation. Haar kaun mane. Kunal koi chance nahin, shruti pagal ho gaye ho. AB gaane khatam hone lage toh kya karte. So we were going to lose .......... suddenly kunal ne gaana chalu kiya. Shruti boli " Yeh koi gaana nahin hai. Kuch bhi ga raha hai". Kunal bola" Are Set max par raat ko 8 baje yeh muvie lagi thi uska gaana hai". Kaunsi muvie aise koi muvie thi hi nahin. Ullu bana raha tha......abe ladkiyon ko. Kyun itni mehnat kar raha tha. aise hi bol deta !!!!! !!!!! Finally game ended without any winners. Subah 5 baje hum log mahableshwar pahuche. Everybody started checking in rooms. Subah filaal ladko ko ek room aur ladkiyon ko ek room de diya tha. Later everybody got their respective rooms. So while everybody checked in few guys had the experience of ragging, satish mudaliar, shridhar shetty but devesh relented. Aur us din humne satish aur shridhar ko ek naam diya " Chutkuli and mufli". Wid dis evryone got scared so they left d room and dispersed. In morning everyone went to see the sunrise- bola tha bahut acha view hota hai. Bahut mashoor hai. All came back , got fresh and had their breakfast. Sabse late aane walon mein breakfast ke liye hum log hi the Mein, ketan........ Sab log chila rahe the kahan hai, late ho raha hai. Finally We all boarded the bus and then went for all sight seeing. Pehle hum logon ne Wilson point, elphinstone point dekha den we went 2 Tabletop. wahan ek cave tha wahan sabki jane mein fatti. Koi starting mein nahin jaana chah raha tha. Are andhera tha. Ab bolo kya hua hoga. Shabaash!!!!!!!!! u all impresse me now. Yes Kunal aur ankur gaye hero banke. Bas piche piche hum bhi chal diye. Are hum logon ne bola jinko style maarna hai maarne do hum ladkiyon ke piche jayenge. Pata nahin kab hamari kismat chamak jaye. Hehehehehe. Jus kiddin......... In the evening we all went to Venna lake. So initilally all students in their respective groups went for a boat ride. Kuch ladke mauka dekhke jaise hi ladkiyan paas aati un par pani uchalte, kuch pics click karte. Guys got d smiles and gals d attention ...... perfect !!!!!! In short everyone was enjoying, having fun and were having a gala time. Haan kuch logon ne horse riding bhi kiya. If i am not wrong gals started going in for horse riding first. Some gals shouted and screamed.....got scared. But the horse puller made sure horse didnt run fast. Fir ek ladki ne ghode ko bhagaya....ghoda rukne ka naam hi nahin le raha tha haalat kharab ho gayi unki. Now i can recollect about few guys who tried to pull something into this...ofcourse limelight. Satish pathare and subhash( not sure though bout subhash). Ab maine aur ketan ne bola public ko style maarne do. Ab kunal bola mein ride maarne ja raha hu. Would u like to come also. We said hame style nahin maarni. Kunal ghode par baitha aur aise bhaga raha tha jaise raja ashok ho. Abe kam style maar fir last mein bola meri pics khicho pose deke. Smart Man!!!!!!! So after dat it was normal sight seeing. We visited different different places. Soon we all got back to bus and started our way back to hotel. While coming back everyone had option to go to market and do the shopping. Ladkiyon ka toh hota hai yeh favourite. So they soon dispersed in groups. Some Guys did shopping, some hopped around. In night everybody had dinner and happily got back to their rooms. Magar raat ko decide hua tha ki we all will meet at terrace and will have fun. Very few turned up aur fir hotel ke ek aadmi ne aake bola that other guest are complaining of noises, so we have to close the terrace. We all again went back 2 our rooms. But masti toh karni thi. Ankur went at gals floor and knocked their door and ran off. This was also stopped and we all slept happily. We took the permission from our principal in the name of industrial trip for this trip. So ab industry visit nahin karte toh problem ho jati. Next morning we all went to Mapple(Jam-strawberries) factory. Haan are Mahabaleshwar is famous for its strawberries na. We went their and everyone went inside and soon came outside. Hamara group toh andar bhi nahin gaya. We all were enjoying outside. Wow now for some entertainment at this factory there were some jhullas. Bouncing mat.....this became an instant hit. Sab log dekhthe the aur puchthe the.......abe meri wali aa rahi hai kya. Jaise aayi bola waise hi kudte the aur stunts maarte the. Ladkiyon ko bhi pata tha. Woh bhi jaan puchke aa rahi thi. So we all enjoyed and had fun. Lastly we went to pratapgarh fort. The fort is way up on hills so if you want to go there you have to walk a lot. By now many were tired so they gave in. We all decided to go till last. Ab upar jaldi pahuch gaye toh Kunal ne kya kiya wahan ek boundary par so gaya. It was a thin boundary and if he would have fallen would have surely broken the bone. I said i am not that brave you enjoy here. Usse yeh pata tha ki kaun kaun upar aa raha hai. So now came Garima.... and she said something to kunal cant remember exactly. Once everyone reached at top all started clicking pics. Where the flag is hoisted we met few germans and started chatting wid dem. Did asked them to click few of our pics too. All came down tired drank water and boarded the bus for our way back to home. Yaad hai devesh relented d ragging so we all convinced him to come back. He walked the steps in fear but somehow came in. We all pulled him in last row and den again ragged him. But again he relented and started shouting. Everyone knew something fishy is happening at back and looked back. When it grew more then that devesh was let free and he ran d fastest race of his life. Now Kunal started singing songs,his old way of pulling leg. It was like you are singing a song for a person..... It started like dis " char vajale komoda harola...gangu teli pandyala.....gangu la tithe kaun bhetle" and den persons name and den song. We sang song on everyone. Ankur par tha " Amma dekh haan dekh tera munda bigada jaye", mere par tha " jab bhi koi ladki dekhu mera dil deewana bole", aranya ke liye tha " Kitaben bahut si padi hogi tumne kabhi koi chehra bhi tumne pada hai". Ketan par " Duniya haseeno ka mela mele mein yeh dil akela.....". Ritika par tha -" Khud ko kya samjhthi hai itna akadti hai....". Sandeep aur garima par gaana tha " Ghar se nikalte hi kuch dur chalte hi raste mein tha uska ghar.....". Now it was turn of gals to sing song for guys. Even dey pulled d legs. I can only remember on me and ankur mere par-" Awara hu-2 aasman ka tara hai....". Den to ankur again" Bhaiyo more rakhi ke bandhan ko nibhana.....". Madam ne specially ritika ke liye ek gaana recommend kiya tha" apne gore rang par na itna ghumar kar gora rang toh tera dhal jayega." Den madam in the end sang a dedication song for our class " Mere 2 anmol ratan ek hai raam toh duja lakhan...." Our trip ended and we all dispersed to our homes. With this comes to an end our great journey.
