So the month of April is over. And I just have another 27 days, in a place that has been my home for seventeen long years. This is the place where I grew up, grappled with failure, pranced around when I was happy. Madras exists in whatever that I am today as a person, the varied experiences the society gave me and a lot more that I can't go about listing.

Little memories that will never fade and I will carry with me where ever I go...

Schools - Balalok, Seetha Kingston, Chinmaya Vidhyalaya and PSBB... Schools have contributed a lot to what I am today.

College - M O P... It has given me a lot, beyond education. Friends, enemies, mass bunking, signature campaign... LOTS

Ispahani, Specially Sweet C - Its been liek home for three years, the yummy food, the waiters (who always respond to our grunting and hooting), the sad music and our table.

PTC Buses - For sheer cheap commutation.

Council - For hours of planning with no execution and also bitching. Bitching is bonding. Thank you Anna, I would not have taken up the post but for you.

Frankie Man - For good food during culturals.

Landmark - For all those books that I have read all my life. My lifeline.

Ramachandran Canteen - For all that "manjurian rice" and tomato juice I have survived on. And more recently the chocolate biscuits.

HOD - For sheer "upset-ness". She always believed that I was a bad girl.

Jambu Sir at Excellent Xerox - Without whom my broadsheet, Business Journal and Print Journal would have been impossible.

Isp Watchman - Who I did not know was concerned about me... He was pretty happy to see me visiting Isp even after college was over.

A few other people I would like to mention -

Anna - For being there. And hours on Gtalk, its so good that I will never miss you. I have too many memories with you, us five pointers!
Akx - My wife. The lou of my life, who gives me inspiration to be a rude person.
Kavya - The poem in my life. She though tried saying goodbye to me, it never lasted long. Poor her.
M - My driver. She knows my bike better than me. I am taking up a hosten in Symbi because I have nobody to drive me around there.
Aparna - Journal partner. Need I say more.
Divya, Nina and Lak- For insane Gtalk convos and chain mails.
Saumya - For being so clam always, showing me hope that peace can be found in the most chaotic situation.
Ram - :-)
Anjana and Smruthi - The rest of the quarters, life in college was fun thanks to you guys. Who needs an Insti roof? We get high on water.
