My Summer of '69



There are different kinds of days in your life – just days (read boring, ordinary & meaningless) & there are sunshine days, which will bring a warmth to your heart every time you remember them, kinda like the taste of hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day.

Well, my sunshine days were the ones I spent at work in a particular project with my dear friends. So lets me introduce the characters (and they really are!!).
Chiranjeev (CJ, kinda like the DJ of RDB fame) – the most atrocious & abominable PL we can ever have. A sardar to boot, his grin is as wide as the perimeter of his waist (AND you thought he was like Aamir!!).
Then comes, Preetham, a guy who likes to call himself ‘Physechedelic Hippie’( and I suspect he is).Few more details to prove he is “Normal” – he is 6”3, has a pony tail , is a Genius in programming with the small appetite of a whale.
Now its Ramya’s turn (BTW she loooves the V thing), she is so thin you can mistake her for air!! But if you want fair judgement you can bank on this lass.
Kiran,with his warped sense of humor(was first introduced as our PM!!) , just loves Ramya's silken tresses(dont get the idea he is in love with her).
Yashashwini (phew!!) can have 2^n meanings (as opposed to double) for a simple sentence like” I feel sleepy”. Jokes apart she got a good eye for photography and her live journals are really good.
Kalyani (DON’T call her Nemala) looks to be 12 even though she is 21, so don’t start ragging her.
Anu with her sweet smile and friendly behavior is Preetham’s sweetheart.
Shivanand (HeMan of the group) can fight all the villains for Anu (if he is not 1 of them), when she is in distress (lots of networking between very few people don’t you think??).
Tarun has an IQ of 99.9999999 on 100, but he just can’t keep his phone from danger, he loses all his senses then!!
Sajas (read Zazas for no apparent reason!!) just loves Shipra (Zipra, again NO logic) but will never say so.
Nithanad (starts all his sentences with ‘yaar’) reads only sad books (read History n Politics).
Sourabh (Moghli) for some reason likes Kannada songs so much, he by hearts them (kinda ‘East meets West’ types rite??).

In our room (crowned ‘Corporate Jungle’), each one of us have created an atmosphere of camaraderie and comfort. The time that we spent together the best days of my life(kinda like the Summer of ’69). So down the lane, even when I become a stiff backed and stern PM (or more), meeting any one of them will bring a smile to my face in memory of the crazy days we spent……
