Remembering Room(ies)
Three years... Seems like life time... Seems like only yesterday.. Memories of hunting for room along with KK is still afresh in my memory. Exactly three years back, myself and kk came to this house after seeing the ad in Vijetha super market.. It's an very big house with three bedrooms, spacious hall, Kitchen and three bathrooms.. All for just Rs.3,000 including puppy( dog).
We were seven of us when we entered this house. Myself, Srujan and Prabodhan (Both are my cousins) in one room, KK & YK(Both are my Engg. Friends ) in the other and Vamshi & KT (C.M.C. colleagues) in the third bedroom. Me,KK & YK were just joined Oracle, Prabodhan was in search of jobs, Srujan Preparing for masters and KT & Vamshi were still working at C.M.C.
And now, after three years ,I'm the only one ( with new roomies, ofcourse) in the room. Vamshi is styaing with his parents now, KT got married, Prabodhan went to U.S and got married recently, Srujan is about to complete his masters in U.S , KK & YK are working in U.S and I'm here writing this blog . Missing you guys, esp, rides with Srujan and his aerobic excerises in b/n lunch, chatting/arguing with Prabodhan, walks with YK, KK torture , all the carrom games we played and all the leg-pulling stuff.
Then comes Sridhar Maddi, Non-drinker by his own definition ( He vomits all his drink.. Only time he didn't , had to spent more than the party amount in the hospital) and last of my cousins who stayed with me in room.. Managed to send him out (lekapothe, nenu nidralo matladuthunna ani comment chestava).. Miss you sridhar and thanks for visiting me regularly. Your words of declaring the week (you got your first job )as 'Alcoholic week' is still floating in my mind (Nee comment naku telusu.. Blagula meeda blagulu rastunnavu.. kani, naku orkut testimonial matram rayadam ledu.. anthe ga??? )
The list goes on and I stayed with more than 20 roomies in this period. Recent roomies are Sridhar Tandle,Raja and Kishore.. I can call this as interent era in room.. Heights of it was , Raja and kishore exchanging scraps in orkut with raja being in bedroom and kishore in the hall . Thank you Raja, for taking care of most of the room works... Sridhar Tandle is the last of my roomies who left recently and miss him too..
I remeber this room as the room, which welcomes you with more than 60 shoe-pairs in the first room; as the room where last six month news papers are piled up; room where you don't have to worry for preparing food ; room where everyone feels that he is better cook than others ; room where dhobi provides door-service ;room where you wait till 12 AM on saturdays to watch maa T.V ;room which is not clean (except my room ,ofcourse) ;room where bike stand was full of bikes ; room where you fight for flakes; room where we give Gaana Gaadidha and Gaana Kaaki awards to stop other roomies from singing(Congrats Sridhar & KK for winning the award for many times) ;room where left-over rice in the night is converted to Egg-fried rice, the next morning; room where you bring vegetables in the friday market ; room where you decide to go for movie just five minutes before the cinema starts ; room where you play Carrom games till 2 am (oh ya!! All those games were really fun); room which is fitness freak (Swimming,Gym,Walk, Jog, Yoga,dumbels, skipping .. you name it ,atleast one of our roomies must had tried it); room where everyone loves fruits,but no brings them;room where you go to near by lake and booze ; room where we consume atleast 2-3 dozen eggs per week(there was big fight between yk and Rakesh on how many eggs to bring per week 40 or 50) ; room where we discussed 'Srujan loves Puppy' or 'Puppy loves KK'; room where we celebrated just becoz seven of us had dinner together ,most importantly as the room which gave settlement to all of us.
It would be unfair to finish this post,without mentioning about owner's family. Vig uncle is one of the best person ,I ever met in life .. The way he does the things on his own, even at the age of 70 is truly amazing. Aunty is part of our family now.. she keeps on asking about my roomies very often and she misses Srujan as much as I do.
You stupid roomies.. Have you ever realized how much scrap you left in this room??

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UPDATE(09/11): Sridhar Maddy is not happy for portraying his character as drunkard.. I take it back.. Sridhar is non-drinker (Even as per my definition).. then what is he?? He is a teacher. He teaches how to take an drink and he loves practicals much more than theory ...

nice blog ra. even i remember most of the occations where we went for walk and our boozing at the lake and all those are sweet memories.
I guess you are there to remove the scrap.
Thanks ra.. I forgot to write about your midnight calls with babes... I thought I can dedicate one entire post for it
Sudha..enti senti avutnuvu....I know you hate these lines..but I guess..its time for your marriage ;)
Well I too visited your room and had fun on new years of 2004. It was fun..
Senti?? Nothing like it ... I wrote it just becoz, I'll love reading this kind of stuff in future (i mean 5,6 years down the line).. May be it might be useful for people like you to write autobiagraphy of an succesful enterprenuer.. :)
Chinna pillaganni.. appude pellentra???
oh ya, that was fun with Kundan and you around... worst part of it was you guys made us to take to Indian drink, though you came from U.S.
LOL! LOL! LOL!
Couldn't stop laughing throughout the post!
This post reminded me of my bachelor life. It was so wonderful and i can understand and relate to each and everything that you have written.
But one thing, if you want this fun in your life to continue, DO NOT MARRY! Ensoi!
Btw, my intelligence was working while reading this post of yours. You stay in Madhapur, somewhere near that "Hi-tech" theatre. Correct aa? Choodu nenu entha intelligent ani?! LOL!!
Adi:
People living in Madhapur will beat me ,you or both for giving wrong perception of that place.. Good 3 BHK in Madhapur is not less than 15k .. (By the way, I work very near to place you mentioned.. I should write about my workplace to make you guess my room correctly :) )
My intelligence says that mention of lake and cinema made you to think that way.. but Hyd had more lakes than theatres(some time back, not now)..
What yar? Married people say not to marry but bachelors say otherwise...
Married people know what marriage is all about since they are experiencing it. But what do bachelors know? I was a bachelor sometime back and can tell you quite safely, bachelor life is best if you want to have fun in your life. The fun aspect goes straight out of the window once u marry. But yeah, there's a different kind of fun that comes in. But I can promise you this fun isn't the fun you want to have.
Another view: It all depends on the kind of partner you choose. You can continue to have fun if you get a like-minded partner, but the problem with girls and boys is that the common sub-set of likeminded people between the two sets is almost zero. So, now you know where it all depends on. It is kinda sure that your idea of fun is not going to match with the idea of fun you are having.
Well, well, I know I have made what seem to be debatable statements. And have been and will continue to be debated forever. But that's my view. And I am open to discussion about it.
So, it's not Madhapur aa. You are right, the prices there touch the sky. Then which area yar?! *my chin resting on my palm and looking skyward thinking*
But what do bachelors know?
I'm a bachelor.. No comments on that debatable issue now.
It all depends on the kind of partner you choose
I wish I'll get the chance to choose someone, which doesn't seem to be reality :(
*my chin resting on my palm and looking skyward thinking*
ROFL.. man I love these so much ,lke the other one in your comments "Nodding the head in dissapointed note ,but still agreeing with me "
Sudhakar:
Well, thanks for liking them! :)
*Blushing*
Ok. No comments!
You choose someone and make it reality yar. Like Preminchukundam Raa... or any of our Venky flicks! :)
hey nice blog.....if we read this after 5 years it will give happiness .....
hey u forgot to write about our cook. she cook's nice,
a specially "sambaar".
and one more thing i want to remeber u that my room also clean after i came .
Adi:
My comments reminded you about venky movies aa?? Not so nice thing to hear for non-venkatesh fan like me..
Around 3 years back, when I put goatee for the first time ,people compared with venky's (I expected to be compared wiht Aamir's) and the worst part was many people felt that I forgot to shave that portion...
Raj:
Thanks.. I did mention that we don't have to worry about preparing food.. Yes , Our cook prepares delicious sambar.. I also forgot to write about Egg-curry made by another wonderful cook.. (No prizes for guessing :) )
Yes, your room is clean after you came.. I agree, before that it was very very clean..
yeah... i know what is meant for "very very clean...." and
How it was
I am a big big Venky fan. Whose fan are you?
Raj: I'm glad, you know that :)
Adi: tough question.. I'll see all the movies ,which are good (after reading reviews of people like you) .Btw, I like some of Venky's movies like Ganesh and Preminchukundam ra..
