Formation of the Troop

 Reddy started sitting in the same bench where I, Santosh use to sit. If some other guy sits in that place, he argued with him. Soon he became a very close friend of us. The situation is that, we were never parted. That arrogant stupid guy became a necessary for our lives. His friendliness with almost all the people and his attitude to make keep telugu guys at top made him the Class Representative (CR). We were the special and united tri men army in ECE-A. ECE-B had the other guys, named VamsiKrishna alias Vamsi, Vamshidhar alias Shorty, ManiKumar, Sudhir alias Palakollu and Sahas.

Being fresher’s, we are very cautions and had an escaping mentality. But Reddy turned it to courage. He was very well prepared to face any situation and more planned to take the situation under control. Using the CR as a reason, we three of us bunked at least 2 classes a day for which we got the attendance.

The other section guys were slowly becoming good friends of us. It’s Vamsi who really surprised us by giving chocolates on his birthday. The immediate shock was it’s the birthday of Vamshidhar too. Wow it’s something special to have two friends of same name, born on same date and more specially, same year .i.e. 06.09.1989 and was roommates. The tri men army was changed to four men army, in which Vamsi was added. I am pretty sure that he is the most funniest and humorous guy in the batch. I assure you that he makes you fools either with your knowledge or not. It seemed to be tough to manage having two of the friends with the same name. So, we started calling Vamshidhar as Shorty because of his height. This guy seemed to be quite and relaxed all the time. I don’t know how many are dare enough to bet with friends to pull the chain of a girl sitting in your front bench and comment her in a nonstop way.  The main booster to that guy is that, she is from madras and he use to comment in telugu. We all enjoyed when Shorty, Vamsi told us about his jokes on her. The disaster is that, she knew telugu very well and he doesn’t know that she knew it. That luckiest fellow is ManiKumar. Sahas use to talk as if his village kamalapuram, of kadapa district is greater than or equal to Silicon Valley. He played some occasional rotten jokes and was in his own world. In this way, we started our life in the ECE dept.

Parallel to us, Prathik, Chaithanya alias Potti, Susvith alias Pitta, Pruthvi, and Chaithanya alias Podugodu also started their lives in CSE dept. We had a good contact with Susvith but yet the bond of friendship is not started. Still we are from the same region, so we maintained unity to some extent at least in the ragging sessions.

Room no. 308 became our adda. At any time, you can find minimum of 4 ECE guys in the room. The luckiest part is that, Saran who is another roommate of me and Santosh will never be in the room. Even seniors started ragging students in our room. Somehow, now we are popular both at the hostel and college. It may be rivalry with the 2nd year tamil guys or may be due to the friendship with our telugu super seniors.
