As years pass by……its only inevitable that some friends come
closer……some move away……while few remain exactly the same……
As I look back……these last four and a half years have given
me a lot of things…..but if I were to choose that one thing I cherish the most……it
has to be the memories……the moments……the times when I laughed so much that my
jaws ached……the times when I was so happy that there were tears in my eyes……the
times when we danced like idiots……the times when we used to talk through the
night…..laugh…..argue….cry…..pour our hearts out……the times when we played
cricket……in the rain…..sometimes the whole night……watched movies together…made
Staplerman….made fun of each other……or sometimes even of our ownselves…..
It would be very unfair on my part not to thank the people
who have given me these memories…..so this is me……just saying……I’m so lucky
that I met you……
Aditya Bharadwaj – most of the people in our college don’t
know him that well…..lets start by saying….he is different…..he is multi
talented…he is funny…..and he is an awesome friend. He is a kind of person you
can rely upon for anything. I cant tell you how lucky I’m that he was roll no.
2.we were together for 4 and a half years…in clinics…..in practs…..in
tutorials……in seminars…...and we never faced any problem……not a tiny bit…..the
comfort level we shared with each other prevented any kinda
misunderstanding……..his jokes made sure that I was laughing half of the time…..and
his cool and calm nature made sure that I was also tension free whenever he was
around…..and yes he is an amazing cricketer…..a state level player…..and a
national level poetry and essay competition winner……that’s why I said
earlier…..he is different.
Aditya Sithamraju – if I were to use only one word to
describe him……it would most definitely be……gentleman…..a true gentleman.
Our broship started in 2nd year……and I truly
regret that we didn’t talk much in 1st year…..but once we started
bonding in 2nd year……there was no looking back……and now…..after
final year……I can say it has been both an honor and pleasure to have such a
true friend.
They say trust is the base of every relation and aditya is a
type of person you can trust with 100% surety….. we had an awesome 4.5 years
together…….we studied together in lib…watched movies…played cricket in the rain……battled
in modern warfare……watched and discussed breaking bad and big bang together…...had
road trips…..even played vish amrit in the compound of mac d at 2 o clock in
the night 120 kms from our college……but the best part was my surprise b’day
party at his house……and the heart to heart talk we had in the pediatrics night
posting.
A Raveena – a rare mixture of beauty and simplicity…….
bharadwaj, shitamraju, raveena and I were together for almost around 20
clinical postings……at first we…..guys were worried about a girl being in our
unit……but she was different…..she was sincere……helpful…..punctual…..straight
forward……and studious…….no doubt she faced a lot of problems because of
us(especially case sheets and journal submission and of course my pjs) but we
guys never had a problem because of her…..In final year whichever department
she went……she had a fan following with a suffix ……kar or…….gar.
Jokes apart……I think she is the only girl in our
batch……about whom I’ve never heard a single bad statement from anyone in 4.5
years.
Anjali Khanna – I got to actually know her when we were
posted together in labour room. She made it so easy for both bharadwaj and me.
After hearing about all the mini wars that took place in labour room even
between the best of friends……I can safely say ours went incredibly smooth……all
thanks to anjali. And of course she was the star of the labour room while she
was there…….and everyone had only one name on their lips……Anjaaaaali…….especially
the male pgs;-)
Ankita Gharge – Our famous cultural Secretary…….to know how
famous she is……you should have a look at the number of likes she gets at every
pic she uploads on facebook. Despite all that there is not a even of arrogance
in her. In fact she has been very very helpful. lets just say we would not have
been able to take half of the cases in clinics if she was not there to help us.
Ankur Khanna – Ankur khanna……the name is a synonym to
hardwork……determination and kindness……its just so inspiring……to see……how
devoted he is to he is to his goals…..how distraction is just a useless word to
him……how he balances work and spirituality……and how despite all this he has
time to help anyone and everyone who needs it……
Ankur Mittal – I still remember the first time I met him(chhate
waali shirt). And how instantly we clicked. And now 4.5 years later we
understand each other so well that we don’t even need to say things…..its just
understood…..in fact there have been times when mittal said…..chal abhishek
mein tere se ek question poochta hoon….and I was like……mittal jo tu poochne
waala hai uska answer ye hai……and this has happened many times…..aur “jo tu
soch raha tha mein bhi exactly wo hi soch raha tha”, “apan dono ki soch kitni
milti hai” ye lines toh I don’t know kitni baar repeat ho chuki hai.
Ek baar jab Mittal aur mein baat karna shuru karte the to
bus………irrespective of the type of topic…..raat ki kab subah ho jaati thi pata
hi nahi chalta tha…..
He has been an incredible room mate……exam k time me sabse
chill room humara rehta tha…..all thanks to mittal. We have laughed
together…..cried together……studied together especially biochem in 1st
year, forensic in 2nd year, psm in 3rd year and obg in
final year……everybody used to be so jealous ki jab apan dono saath me padhte
hain to syllabus itni jaldi kaise khatam ho jaata hai……all thanks to mittal……
Exams se pehle gaane gaaye hain…….dance kiya hai……ghantoon
baatein kari hain…….aur jab bhi exam ka tension hota mittal was always ready
with full proof plan ki hum kaise pass honge. And not to forget hum dono ne mil
ke jo ion waalon ki band bajjayi hai.
Anshul Goel – Bhai iske bare me mein kya kahoon…..hum dono ko
paagalpanti karte hue to poore campus ne dekha hi hai. Iske karan meri kitni
izzat down hui hai mein kya bataoon. Jokes apart……lets start by saying that he
has been the source of inspiration for me……seeing him studying for hours on
end……made me put that extra effort……in fact I’m not sure if I would have picked
up robbins in 2nd year or harissons in 3rd year if he
would not have been there……he has been a true friend and I truly respect him as
a person……thoda kaala hai……in fact bahot kaala hai……aur jab pink tshirt pehen k
–as Rohit would say – Suar jaisa mu banata hai to maa kasam man karta hai pakad
k bahot maarun……aur aisa hum sabne kaafi baar kiya bhi hai……his phoolon waali
shirts are famous or shall I say infamous throughout the campus……
we have great level of understanding…….in fact humare jokes
pe sirf hum dono hi hanste hain wo bhi aadhe aadhe ghante tak……bcoz no one
really understands it……like our javed akhtar jokes……or lorazepam jokes……or kya
shaadi k aage zindagi hi nahi jokes…….and many others……
Library me humne itna tp kiya hain ki kya bataun…..lib me hi
kyon…..in fact har jagah…..like jai jai ho shambhu baba……stapler man…..do
dhaari talvaar dance in front of path lecture hall……playing 50 games of pocket
tanks in a row…..watching big bang tohether…..or raat se leke subah 7 bajetak
baat karna…..
humne saath me kaafi time spaaand kiya hai…breakfast, lunch
and dinner bhi mostly hum saath hi karte the unless humme se koi Dhokha de de…lol…..infact
some ppl call us gay partners also……but if it was one thing I had to thank him
about……it would be for making me laugh so much……and if I had one complaint to
make……it would be not teaching me phaynx in 1st year…..toxoplasmosis
in 2nd year……and paraplegia in final year.
P.S – Most of it is written in hindi coz ye English movie
bina hindi subtitle k nahi dekhta…..:-P
Ursula Amelia Jean D’costa –I hope I have spelled it
right.the two names I always have problem remembering fully are Dumbledore’s
and hers. Interestingly Harry potter was the first topic we ever talked about
after our first trip in college…..thats where we first met……not to forget she
and likhitha were my charlie’s angels……shielding me from unknown dangers throughout
the trekking…..it wouldn’t be totally wrong if I say she my first crush in
college…….unfortunately things didn’t work out :-p…….but today…..even after 4.5
years……she is one of the few ppl……who still laugh on my pjs……She is smart…..she
is fun and she holds a PhD in copying signatures…..and boy……doesn’t she run
fast……pakka Olympic material I’d say…….
Shruti Arya – She is a teddy bear…..as cute and as
loveable…..but it doesn’t take seconds for her to turn into a kung fu panda if
a) you speak anything against Punjab or Punjabis b)if someone occupies her seat
in library and c) if somehow she is not able to see a Punjabi movie.
She is a two year old chhota sa bacha at heart and like a
child’s love knows no bound for her mother…..the same way she loves the people
she actually loves unconditionally. I’ve seen her defying all limits when it
comes to caring for her loved ones.
She is one of the few people I respect in my life. She lost
her father in the 2nd year of college, a father so loving that he
was more a friend than a father……she came back expecting a lot from a lot of
people but things didn’t turn out the way she had expected……as they
say……adversity is the biggest test of friendship…….but she didn’t
surrender……she managed her studies…….she managed her family…….she managed her
financial affairs……she managed shifting from Amritsar to jalandhar……and what
not……its not that she didn’t cry……she cried every single day……but alone……not in
front of her mother…….not in front of her sister……not in front of the
world…….for them she put forward a brave face……
Even during this unimaginably harsh time for her……she was
there to console me……make me happy……listen to my problems……when I was going
through a tough time. Not only me…..be it Mittal…..Ayant…..Nikita…….Mausam or
anyone who she considers a good friend, she was there to listen to
them……comfort them in their times of trouble…….but she cried alone……never let
anyone feel the depth of sorrow she was in.
She is a true Punjabi……fun…..full of laughter……adventure and
love. She is an awesome company. Its impossible to get bored when you are with
her. She is not afraid to call a spade a spade……and of course she is the most
awesomest cook……if you eat her parathas in the morning……I guarantee you nothing
can go wrong with you throughout the day…….her pulao and chicken curry……if made
public will shut down niyaaz in one day…….and her gajar ka halwa is something I
can actually kill for……
She definitely has some superwoman gene in her……or else I
dunno how she manages so many things……compromise is a word she seemed to have
deleted from her dictionary…….one of the most precious memory that I have of
our college life is the surprise birthday party she arranged last year with the
help of anshul and aditya a fortnight before our 1st internals……it
was just perfect…….every single thing about it……..she knows what makes me
happy…….in fact she is one of the few persons who know me better than I know
myself….
Ayesha Master – She is smart…..she is intelligent……she is
beautiful……and she asks a lot of questions. She has been a good friend and a
victim of my pjs. She is genuine……. friendly…..helpful…..sincere and is focused
towards her goal. I remember when she first came to our college……all our
seniors’ most important goal in life had suddenly changed to…….somehow getting
her phone number. Even today she is big fan following…….including……pgs……seniors……juniors…..
and batchmates……I just wish someday…..somehow I could learn to walk like
her…..;-)
Rishikesh Hanji –kya to bhi bolo nakko ji….. he is the
youngest of all of us…….and yet he is the most mature of all of us. When he
works for college……he makes sure that the events as big as The Trinity go on as
smoothly as one can possibly imagine…….when he studies he sits in the library
till he actually has a gluteal abscess…….and when he is having fun……he laughs
so hard and loud that one can hear it from outside the campus……The whole campus
knows him……from the registrar to the peon…….but you’ll not find even a hint of
arrogance in him……he is always there to help his friends and guide his juniors…..he
was the best general secretary JNMC ever had……. And if you really want to learn
how to be responsible………he’s the man to look up to…..
Shivali Agrawal – ….she is sweet……she is cute….she is
caring……she is lovable…..she is a total sister material……lol
I’ve studied for more than two years with her in the library
and I can tell u that she is really smart as well as intelligent. in library her
concentration (in fact whole of the reading room’s concentration) was disturbed
by only one thing…….her repeated bouts of sneezes.
I remember how used to say after every two hours of
studying…..Abhishek mere ko gawar banna hai……and how she loved pighla hua dairy
milk.
She is full of potty jokes and strangely enough she is a
cleanliness freak too…..you should at least once see – what I like to call –
“Raakshas waali hansi”. Ek baar jab wo hasna shuru karti hai(it strictly has to
be a very bad pj) to sirf mu se nahi…..poore body se hasti hai….aas pass waale
log(mein) dar jaate hain….aur agar ise chalte chalte hasa diya to she will go
round and round the same place making a 360
degree circle till she is laughing. But I love it when she laughs…..it
makes me happy.
She is damn creative and the photo frame she made for me
hangs in front of my bed so that I can see it everyday and the comic that she
made for me I have read it so many times . She loves dancing and to watch her
dance on stage is an absolute pleasure. She is indeed a gudiya as her father
calls her……the only complain I have that I never got the aalu ka bhujiya she
promised me…..;-)
Tanvi Gaba – The dancing Queen.
I remember the first time I met her in dissection hall…..she
asked me…..do you know the disease caused by the deficiency of GABA. Today if
she asks me asks me the same question…..my answer would be…..deficiency of Gaba
is synonymous to deficiency of fun…..she is full of entertainment……you cant get
bored with her……
I remember on our Mahabaleshwar trip……Anshul & I made a
lot of fun about her nose while eating and didn’t let her burger in Mac D…..
But the thing I’ll never forget in my lifetime was the song she sang on my
birthday……Since I made a pinki promise with her so I cant tell u the details
but it was a really unique & memorable gift:-P
Two advices…..First…..Never box with her……I tried once in
Mahabaleshwar and it still hurts……And second make sure she is not in your team
when you play paint ball;-)
Shambhu – my darling…..official campus star….cultural
sec…..kannada balga general sec……our own Singham. His room was our adda.
whenever we used to get bored, me and anshul always use to go to his room…..and
the things we did in his room……were like the most stupidest and funniest things
I ever did in college……like that guitar and song belgavi yaad rehnu…..or that
dance we did for him…..we hate u like we love u shambhu baba…..or reading
kannada stories to him…..i remember once we made him laugh so hard that he had
to actually leave his lunch midway and he literally ran to his room and locked
it…..His punch lines are awesome and I still remember the one he said on
Arjun’s b’day…..His bike and my laptop were like our common property and we
have a very secret bangla connection….lol
Sandeep Thacker – We became close in 2nd year
when he had lost his tika and started riding Avenger…..In fact there was a joke
circulating in the campus those days…..it was like……In a score of 0 to Sandeep
Thacker, how much have you changed:-p
But let me tell you, he was and is an awesome guy…..smart,
intelligent, hard working, friendly and
always ready to lend a hand to whoever needs it. It actually used to
amaze me that how he managed to be so good in studies while also doing a
nationally acclaimed ICMR level project and at the same time being an active
NSS member and then also he always had time for his friends. And I forgot to
mention the no. of charity events he has almost single handedly organized and
how he was the first person on blood bank’s speed dial …..arranging blood
whenever they had an emergency.
We shared a great level of understanding and in fact our
matching frequency was the base of our two organizations…… ABA and NDDP. We had
a lot of fun especially when he moved to our hostel. I remember how mittal, he
and I used to study together in my room and how final year had become so easy
and fun. i still have that na jaane mere
before psm internal waala video and it makes me laugh like crazy
whenever I watch it. Our Goa trip was the most awesomest trip ever or even our
road trip was equally amazing
how can I forget…..he
was our wing’s morning alarm…..in fact we all owe half of our morning
attendance to him…….. And his C…. no. 1,2 & 3 rating…..:-p
Ayant Manglik – The Jamboti man or The Dandeli Man or some
of us know him as The DON’T man.
I know him from the very first day of our college and since
then we have been great friends……being there for each other through the good
and the bad times. He is like the magnet of our group…..keeps everyone
together.he is our official trip organizer and 90% of our trips have become a
reality solely because of him. He takes care of everyone…..i remember how he
fought for me with apporva or took care of mausam when she was sick or shruti
when she needed a friend the most or Arjun whenever he lost his cool or was
just lost:-p
What impresses me most about him is his confidence and his
versitality.He has been the cultural secretary, a dancer,an anchor,part of
debate, extempore and what not. In fact he was one of the key persons behind
the success of Trinity and the reason I joined council in 3rd year.
Rohit Anand – what brought was close was our common
background……and our mutual interest in cricket, dental girls and exclusively
non veg food. I remember one time……in a food fest in belgaum…..we ate around 10
different types of chicken and were still hungry for more but sadly the shops
had closed for the day……and the kfc bucket we ate in b’lore…… Shruti, Rohit and
I(The Saturday Night Partners) were the regular customers of niyaaz or Habba
every Saturday and there we used to have loads of fun……I remember how on
Risikesh’s sister’s wedding……we intentionally wore the exact same clothes from
shirt to socks…… We have been on lots of trips together but our 1st
boys only Goa Trip & the Jamboti
trip were the most awesome ones. I remember how on the night before
every trip…..he used to be like ……I’m definitely not going……and how we had to
coax and persuade him to come with us……
He is a hard working and intelligent guy and I think the
only thing that used to actually trouble or bother him was sony reddy getting
more marks than him: -P.and how can I forget to mention the amazing experience
I had working with him in the literary team…..
Hitesh Goyal – The
Official “ladies’ man” of our batch……Be it Belgaum or Delhi…..apne Hitesh ka
jaadu har jagah chalta hai…..poore campus me shayad hi koi ladki ho(PGs
included) jo Hitesh ko na jaanti ho……Even in Delhi, he is surrounded by girls
offering him tea/coffee.
He is a really good person by heart with a very sharp brain
and an equally good clinical acumen. He is the only person I know who can sleep
for hours before exam and still pass with good marks.
Arjun Verma – Bhai isne mere ko bahot bhagaya hai: –P……My 1st
year roommate and my 1st friend in JNMC……he is a very caring person…..pure
at heart. I know he is a workaholic but when he parties after exams…..there is
no stopping him. I still remember the debate he won in 1st year and
the awesome party we had after that……or the jahnda ooncha rahe humara……how I
used to write song lyrics for him……how facing his fast bowling was actually a
terror for us……his perfect Yorkers……the KFC bucket in B’lore……his eternal attachment
for the DIL SE title song…..our final year Goa Trip…..his Ist letter “The
Fabulous Four”…… and the time he made pasta and Maggie for us.
He is one of the few persons who actually took cases in
clinics and I really believe he will be a great doctor and make our college and
us proud.
Mausam Maru – My Cosec from Kandivali and the official
ATM(Any time Mausam) of JNMC. I met her in our 2nd college trip and we
instantly clicked. We have been really good friends since then. She is one of
the most confident…..daring…… bindaas girl I’ve ever met……No tensions……always
ready for masti…..You can actually learn….. how to live in present from her.
She has great leadership qualities and always played a central role in all the
events in JNMC…..Her energy is infectious and that’s why her enormously wide
friend circle includes everyone…..be it seniors…..juniors…..or even teachers.
She is a very caring person and remembers even the smallest of details about
the people she actually cares about.
Priyanka Agrawal – The girl with a golden heart. This
sentence precisely describes what she is…..
She celebrates with you in your good times and stands by you
in your tough times…….is always ready to help anyone and everyone who needs it……knows
her social responsibilities……fights against injustice…..is an amazing orator…..but
is obsessed with train tickets:-p
Knowing her and being her friend is something I’ll always
cherish……she is one of the few people I know…..who will listen to you…..understand
you…..solve your problems…..without judging you…..
Likhitha – or fondly known as likhithaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.You
see the reason behind adding so many ‘a’ is……the no. of ‘a’djectives required
to describe her…..
I remember we first met in our Amboli trip and she and
Ursula(My Charlie’s Angels) shielded me for unknown dangers while trekking. After
that whenever we used to be together……we always had an awesome time….. I don’t know
know whether it were my jokes or there was something wrong with my face…..she
would always be giggling…..whenever she was around me.
And don’t even get me started on her fb pics……they are just
so unbelievably, incredibly, exceptionally awesome:-p
Shruti Dharwarkar – Dharu or our sports secretary…..She is
unique blend of beauty and grace…..and add to that her innumerable sports certificates……unending
patience and the awesome chicken she and Ursula cooked……you have an almost
perfect combo……
She is one of the few people who still laughs on my pathetic
pjs……I remember how she laughed for so long when I told her that Chalao na NANO
se baan joke. The Final year goa trip……the 6 of us had is one I will cherish
for a long time.
Seshendra – Seshe . He is someone to whom you can talk on
literally any topic and when he is around…..you can never get bored. He knows
how to make a person comfortable and is a very friendly person. Working with
him in Trinity was a splendid experience as he is always ready with new and
innovative ideas ……
Naren – Our class representative. Famous among juniors as
Naren sir. He is smart…..he is talented….he is intelligent…..he is funny……and
he is the heartthrob of JNMC.
There is never a dull moment when you are with him…..in fact
whenever I used to get bored in lib…..i went to his table for rescue…..We had
an incredible time working together in Trinity.
Ghazala – I like to call her shabeen……She is the cutest girl
of our batch and looks even cuter when she wears pochu or says “24” in hindi……I
always used to irritate her by asking what
is there on her forehead. I still remember……. when we asked her what she wants
on her 1st b’day in JNMC…..she said IMLI ka peir and how we laughed
so much…..how anshul and I used to irritate her in library…..how we used to
console each other when any one of us used to be sad……our Anshul ka Spects
Mission…..the black tshirt and card she gifted me on my b’day……and our awesome Bangalore
– Mysore trip.
Apoorva – The official kareena kapoor of our batch……I met
her through shivali just before dp holidays when she joined our batch. She is a
fun loving, caring yet bindaas girl who knows what she wants in life…..she is
an incredible dancer and rocks the stage whenever she dances. I will always
remember her for the hill top and dhaba trip she organized for me in 2nd
year.
I wish Vicky and her all the happiness in their life….
