I came to this college late, after admissions were closed. It was on 19th, August,1970, in Selva's room, in the old Hostel, that I was ragged. The guys present there were Selva, Tommy, Robert Simon, Ivan Lemach, and Ronnie. They fixed a pair of gloves onto my fists and put me on to a fight with Robert Simon. Seconds later I was gasping for breath and lying on the 'charpai'.......what a reception??? Anyways all these guys became goods friends for many years I lived there. During those years, which for me was the first out of my Estate environment, I remember some names and faces which can never erased from my mind,specially.........Mrs.Thea Chitamber, Mrs. Irish David, Dr.Chitamber and Dr. B.A.David. Others are Depikamal, Reena Robinson, Asha Newton, lovely shorty Kiran, Dipti Das, Kusum lata Dutt. I am trying to remember...!!! but not fast enough. What I am today, it is because of Br. P.C.Verghese and Mrs.Verghese. I am now a Pastor of a small congregation. Would like to apply for a short exposure at the Chapel of Brothery Love. To whom am I to apply?? Any ideas?? Thats all for the moment. Thank you. God bless all of you. Johnson March, 1999 ENGLISH ??? We'll begin with a box and the plural is boxes. But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. The one fowl is a goose but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a whole set of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why should not the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural wouldn't be hose. And the plural of cat is cats and not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say Mother, we never say Methren, Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim, So English, I fancy you will all agree, Is the funniest language you ever did see.   Floods 1978...... We were rescued by boats from our new hostel terrace Flood 1982...... I remember one snake slept with us. We managed to kill it and later showed to Dr. B.A. David. It was a krait. WoH !! Ragging in 1978 ...... We paraded naked on the Rewa National highway from Dorm to New hostel on the last night to the Cafeteria. It was a very cool night.......you bet it was ! Animal Experience..... I killed a 14 kg porcupine outside the mess and we cooked it on a heater with lots of chilli and ginger, and boy the next day all who ate it had loose motions......on the run.... Meeting place..... We all met in the toilets ???  for what??? All those who remember these memories, get in touch. I've got plenty more stories to tell! Odoyu March, 1999 MEN & WOMEN.... ~SUCCESS~ A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. ~STYLE~ Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night. ~MONEY MANAGEMENT~ A man is a person who will pay two dollars for a one dollar item he wants. A woman will pay one dollar for a two dollar item that she doesn't want. ~HAPPINESS~ To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. ~MARRIAGE EXPECTATIONS~ A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does. ~MARRIAGE DECISIONS~ Men marry because they are tired. Women marry because they are curious. Both are disappointed???? ~MARRIAGE AND THE FUTURE~ A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband, A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. ~MEMORIES~ A woman will always cherish the memory of the man who wanted to marry her. A man cherishes the memory of the woman who he didn't marry. ~UNDERSTANDING WOMEN~ There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman before marriage and after marriage. ~WHAT A WOMAN WANTS~ Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy... One is to let her think she is having her own way. The other is to let her have it. ~LONGEVITY~ Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more willing to die. ~MISTAKES~ Any married man should forget his mistakes.... no use two people remembering the same thing. EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators BATHROOMS A man has six items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items. CATS Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. DRESSING UP A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings, funerals. OFFSPRING A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. ~THE BATTLE~ A woman always has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. Shagat & Bordha plastered with 'mawah' one night, agreed to send a huge Christmas card to Pinkie's place. They placed the card at the door of her house around midnight and proceeded back to new hostel. Turning round the corner onto the Mahewa road, Bordha disappeared, re-appearing shortly with a large rattan chair with a big grin on his face. "Where did you get that from?" yelled Shagat. Bordha hissed back, "Shut up you fool!!! Shepherd's house! And if you want one there is one more there on the verandah". Shagat disappeared at top speed, reappearing with another rattan chair, looking furtively left and right but Bordha was missing. Walking slowly with the stolen chair feeling abandoned.... suddenly he heard a snarling voice say "Hey Chor!! Where are you going??" It was Bordha sitting on his stolen chair in a dry ditch in the shadows of a hedge laughing his guts out at Shagat's terrified face. The rest of us were having a barbeque going in front of my room. We heard loud drunken carol singing going on from within the hostel and steadily getting louder. Shagat and Bordha appeared blasting out "Santa Claus is coming to town" and bang, bang, two chairs were slammed down.... Christmas gifts for me!!! * Over the years Shepherd used to talk about his missing chairs...little knowing that they were in my room.... After a drinking session 'Gough Ghat', I.L. & Bordha walked back to college, past midnight. As they passed the A.H. department, they saw a light in one of the chicken coops, Bordha climbed over the fence and reappeared with two broilers. He shoved the two birds onto I.L., and reappeared with five more fowls. On reaching the hostel they decided to keep the stolen fowls in my room (the dirtiest on the campus and chicken dung couldn't make it worse). I was awakened with a start hearing unfamiliar noises and see white shapes moving about. I grabbed my glasses, switched on the light and saw chicken scurrying about in my room!!! I screamed.....the door opens and Bordha says "Shhhh!! We maraued them!!" "So why put them in my room?" I yell back, "I can be expelled!" " What do we do with them?" he asks. "Kill them for all I care but get them out of my room!" So Bordha and I.L. chop off the chicken heads, put the carcasses into a large pot and go off to sleep. Next morning, they arrange to have a barbeque at Dr. L.H.David's house, after telling him that they have bought some chicken and need help in cleaning them. Doc sends over two workers to the hostel to clean the chicken. The workers were amazed and wondered where/who slaughtered the chicken in such a bizzare manner... R.L. muttered that they were bought from a new farm or something, forgetting that the legs were still banded. While R.L. distracted their attention, I managed to get rid of the incriminating evidence. Preparing and roasting of the chicken was handled by Pradeep Brave who knew nothing about the history of the birds. He did a wonderful job with the bar-b-que !! Dr. L.H.David took the first bite, and knowing full well as to the state of our finances remarked, "Hmmm! Stolen fruit always tastes sweetest!!"

REMEMBER WHEN?    A computer was something on TV from a science fiction show A window was something you hated to clean A Ram was the cousin to a goat Meg was the name of a girlfriend. And gig was your middle finger upright Now they all mean different things And that really mega bytes An application was for employment A program was a TV show A cursor used profanity A keyboard was a piano Memory was something that you lost with age A CD was a bank account Compress was something you did with the garbage Not something you did to a file And if you unzipped anything in public You'd be in jail for a while Log was adding wood to the fire Hard drive was a long trip on the road A mouse pad was where a mouse lived And a backup happened to your commode Cut you did with a pocket knife Paste you did with glue A web was a spider's home And a virus was the flu I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper And the memory in my head I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash But when it happens they wish they were dead ~Author Unknown~ Aggie Number.....
