Here I am…. With my first post on the blog(actually 9 months after I opened it!!!..i guess u must be thinkin wat a hopeless guy this is bt am not tat hopeless). and what an occasion to post it-3rd august 2008 FRIENDSHIP DAY….yea HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY.
Let me first introduce myself....Senthil nathan aged 18yrs and 259 days from tanjore (but hardly have i spent any of my life there) n presently doing my B.Tech in mechanical engg at NIT,Rourkela.
Now let me give a short note on my journey from GSIS to NIT and the first year in this coll…..
I know ull be thinking whats this GSIS... it stands for Good Shepherd International School,ooty. That’s the school which has developed me into the person I am today. I joined there when I was just 6 and passed out when I was 16. I have spent more than half my life so far over there and it was worth it I still remember the days when I used to be homesick and get up at night 12 n start crying and those wardens would come and console me and put me to sleep. It all would sound funny now but then it’s natural at that age right. It all stopped by the time I was around 8. Then slowly I learned to stay away from home. Time passed and I learned a lot of stuff and most of my habits now were developed from those days only.
Then I had passed my ICSE exams and scored 85% and then I had taken my first step into a place which has given me some of my most dear memories and I’ll tell you those were the best days of my life so far…. I am sure it will always be…but I didn’t know it would be at that time. I had joined Jeevana School only due to the IIT-JEE coaching and the objective soon changed. My first frens there were bharat,anand,pranesh and a few more whom probably were not so permanent visitors in my life thereafter. But those three names I mentioned there have really helped me a lot and tat too at some really difficult circumstances.
Then came an imp moment in my life courtesy some help from yoganand. Actually yoganand had planned to change his cell n he asked me if I wanted it and I agreed to buy it but due to a series of events my mom decided to buy me a new cell itself and in the first week of nov2005 I got my first cell.
It won’t be right if I don’t mention the hostelites who had been with me for two yrs n bared with me whatever I did whether good or bad. First of all Akbar Fazil sorry sorry PJ Akbar Fazil yeah that’s the way your supposed to say it ok atleast that’s the way we say it. An awesome character and the perfect amalgam of academics hard work sports n off course friendship… and then off course P Bharat... we used to tease him all the time but still he rarely would get angry and would always save us from our warden (who trusted him n deservedly so). Then there was Prasad who would accompany me to most of the places we escape from the hostel.
I did have a great time in that place n then we had our +2 exams which I managed to clear with some relative ease. Then we were scheduled to have a months intensive coaching for the entrance exams which turned out to be the best days there. Manoj,Boss,Prasad and myself would bunk more than half the classes and freak out. There was a long....... vacation..
There ends my schooling..one of the rarest you can find which had 12 years of hostel life.... many people crave to have the experience of spendin a few years of school life in hostel but here is a guy who has no experience of goin to school in the morning frm home.. yes not even once has my mom said “come straight bak to home after school !!”
