(Ayyar: Otherwise, known us Jaisankar. We were classmates of our BE course. )


5 years back, it was my earlier days of college life. I was looking strange at every one. People dont get closer with surrounders easily for many reasons. They tend to have a limited mind-sets, untill they attain some ages.The worst thing is to find out companions, with same mind-sets, in a new environment.

Ayyar (a.k.a Jaisankar): He was looking well-docked, and was (trying to act) smart. But, it didnt match with his doings. It was easy for any one else to catch him. And so would I. :-)

I would say the first two years of the college life was absoultely horrible. Seriously. We had Hitlers and his Brothers to rule us. We wanted a relief. We made it ourselves.

Ayyar: He used to mimic and imitate every one lived around him. if you speak with him for ten mins, he will replay what you did. ;-) He used to mimic Warden, Staffs, HOD and etc.. you name it, he did it.

Ayyar is good hearted in nature. He donates blood and helps in all possible ways, that most of dont. He wont mind prestige for doing any work if required.

Exams were the 'Super Stars' of that age. Ayyar doesnt know the exam name untill some one tells him. He scored very less marks in his first year (No, he just thought in that way). So, he decided to quit hostel and take a room outside the college. He needed a companion with him.

One day, he called everyone to assemble in a room.. and his speech goes like this, "I planned to stay outside for many reasons...I have to concentrate more on (higher) studies, placement...etc .. so, I planned to stay outside.. who will come with me.. ". Needless to say, no one was ready to come with him, since they knew that his promises were valid only for night-times and they would expire next day.At last, Kishore was the victim, who supported him.

So, here after, his second-half starts. There after, Ayyar almost lost his life in planning.. planning.. and planning. Becasue, he didnt find time to execute any of his plans until he finished his BE. So, over a longrun, no body was ready to listen his future plans. At last it ended up people forming a new proverb "Like ayyar's promise..."

The third half starts when ayyar becomes a Software Engineer. He says that it has happened accidentally. But he deserves it. He works round the clock in office (dont know what!) and during week-ends also. But, some of us comment that he goes to office just to utilize the benefits like food and other amenities. It's he has to answer.

I know him for the last half-decade. The times, I laughed very much, were with him. He was the person I didnt mind talking for a long time on the phone.

Out of all my tensions, I remembered him. He still laughs in memory and makes me laugh.

Ayyar wont read this post unless I send him. Even He doesnt know that something exists like this here.

But, he wont be angry even if he happens to read this. Thats what something makes me to write about him!
