Karthik’s Blog

it was a normal day.usual routine stuff was happening.n i was playin cricket.we were about 14 of us playing cricket in SAF Games village.someone had hit the ball out of the ground, so everybody went out to search for the ball.i was too lazy to go out.so i just sat in the ground.n i saw dhuraison sitting at the boundary.so i just went over to talk to him.suddenly it struck me that just 2 days of coll are left and the fact that i will miss dhuraison a lot.

me and dhuraison became very close, say frm 4th or 5th sem.we would chat a lot.he is one guy who would appreciate all my cranky talkings and laugh a lot along with me.we been sittin together in the 8th sem, played a lot of cricket together, goin back home in his pulsar, etc etc.for a second i was almost in tears.i just gave him a hug & prayed to god that we would always stay in touch.

lokesh had not come to play.i was kinda upset that he had not come.suddenly i felt i was gonna miss everyone. not that i hv been gr8 friends with everyone.but still i felt i was gonna miss them.emotions were softening me up.i dint know even i could become so emotional.

i came back home and i was thinkin who all i was gonna miss a lot.a big list came out. sometimes you never realise the importance of things you hv with u.you realise its importance only when you are gonna loose it or hv already lost.atleast it was true in my case.

i know there are few ppl with whom i will always be in touch cos they are online all the time.to name a few akhi, harish,dhuraison,sharat,lokesh.but meetin them online will not be like meeting in real.probably i will not be in India after 4 months.thats all the time i hv to spend with my best buds.god knows when i will meet them next.

ppl if u read this blog remember to stay in touch with rk all the time.gonna miss you all..

D.A.V..

THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME..i had studied in 7 schools before i joined D.A.V in 10th std..

i studied in a convent school in some remote place in uttar pradesh..did my 1st & 2nd std there..

then hind zinc vidyala for 2 yrs..then i studied in kendriya vidyala in jungles of orissa wer i hardly had teachers..we had social studies in hindi..we used to play test match in schools cos i dint hv any teacher at all..books n me were poles apart..then i landed in coimbatore..dats were i got a little serious abt studies..

i came to chennai for de good n luckily got into D.A.V..i hardly knew to speak english wen i came to chennai..it was all buttleri english..the principal was hesitant to admit me but i had come in with heavy recomendation..i jus got through..1st day in D.A.V..i was nervous..my uncle left me at the gate n went..i was all alone in a very strange place..almost in tears..at that time i felt that i would never be comfortable here, but i was wrong..i had very strong feelings for that place..still hv..i never wanted to leave that place..
1st day at the gat..one guy “alakh bajaj” asked if i was new to the school and took me to the class..n he knew hindi..habbaa..i was so relieved..(i thought nobody will know hindi n everybody will speak english only)..1st day i was tensed to speak to anybody..sharat was also there in my class..i sat with s.r.sudarshan..everybody was like he is blade..don sit with him..but i dint know how to react..

next day i spoke to one guy “shrey”..he had big beard and was 6 feet tall..i was the same puny guy as i am now..but he was a very sweet guy..very helpful..n he is my best buddy now..slowly slowly i got used to the guys in class..(no gals cos it was a school for guys)..1st one month went pretty ok..but i was very tensed..everybody used to read like mad dog..n with the back ground of schools i had studied in, it used to scare me..whenever anyone would announce a test i used to get scared..studin for a test was too much an askin for me initially..any test n i wud absent myself..i never went to school on sat cos of math n social test..i would bunk 1st half on friday cos if hindi test..this bunkin went on for almost 3-4 months..it was then i spoke to shrey and he gave me inspiration to take the tests as a challenge..he helped me a lot..n then i started to write tests..half heartedly..believe me guys i had not even written annual exams when i was in orissa..lot of difference..but i finally overcame my inner fear..did well towards the end n managed 88% in the board..

D.A.V was so much fun..the chalk fight, playin basket ball, walkin back home with frnds, chit chattin in the class, lovely staff members, the havan on saturdays( which i hardly attended), fightin for half a mark n becomin the topper(not me!!)..i miss my school a lot..the guys in school were amazing..i jus don hv the words to describe D.A.V..i just know that whatever i am its cos of my school..its the best..

10th std got over..everybody went diff ways..jus a few of us continued in D.A.V. cbse.. about 11th n 12th @ D.A.V. in the next post..

now u might be wonderin wat the title implies..

hee hee..thats de place where me gonna live the next 2 yrs..buffalo is a city in new york..if u wonderin y i am goin there, then the reason wud be my masters degree at de univ in buffalo..ya..u guessd it rite..me goin to university at buffalo..its a very prestigious univ..(donno how i got de admit dere though ).

its very cold place..near canada..best part abt the place is if u wanna see niagra falls then u ought to come to buffalo(cos dats the nearest big city to niagra)..well, i will be ur host if u wanna see niagra..seems that city has winter 9-10 months a yr..frost all thru de yr..from aug to may..

hmm..me gotta pinch myself now.. y??cos i have not even reached dere n i have already started invitin ppl to be my guest dere..hee hee..

day dream over..now reality..me feelin hungry..next blog some other time..

hmm..this is de 1st blog i am writin.donno wat to write.so guess i will jus write wat i did today.

played cricket after a real long time. though little sick i thought if i go out n play in fresh air it will do my health good.but it worked de other way round.i do feel nice but i am dead tired.dint score gr8 amt of runs, but feels good to hv played cricket.
