Amukki Podu!

Amukki podu!

The Place: A running train (Pallavan Express)

The Date: February 20, 1999 (the day India lost to Pakistan at Calcutta )

The Event: Return journey from Chennai to Trichy, en route from Delhi after a visit to some industrial trade fair or the other!

The Activity: Dancing with Venkat, to Kasu Mele Kasu Vandhu, played over a stereo smuggled into the train !

*sigh* Those were the best days of my life! Missing all friends and missing all those days!

    Indica: Ya, its funny..hehe… *frowns… not so much if u are in my shoes :p
    As for RC, it is a way of life, a condition bestowed upon certain ppl (usually, but not limited to, males). Every RC individual after some point wants to fight it, but as someone said, being RC is like being in the Mafia. It neither forgives nor forgets. Once a RC, always an RC!
    (* raises his eyebrows and exclaims out aloud)
    OMG someone actually commented on my blog :p. Keep visiting and commenting…
