An enigma called SREE HARSHA - 4 "Harsh-the netizen"

Harsh became e-harsh after getting internet connection at his home. He actually compelled his parents to get the connection saying that he would earn money through internet, but never he done it. Through the internet he started exploring the world which he missed, not with Google map but through chatting. He started chatting in the internet and made many e-friends. He used to say every line he chatted to any of us. At times some of us warned him of his excessive chatting and said that he got addicted to do that. So he reduced to say about his correspondence with his e-friends. During those particular days he created an e-mail account with fake details, showing himself as ‘Anjali’ for some personal reasons. He started chatting with this  name. An author publishes his works with a pen name, a netizen chats with a 'keyboard-name', of course no such word exists but we coined this word exclusively for Harsh (Anjali).Soon, he made a good friend and unable to hide his identity before her ignorance and honesty in talk, he revealed himself. Still their friendship continued .Its the law of unintended consequences, he started the disguise-game for some other purpose but the consequence completely contrasted to it, he ended up with gaining a friend. It’s not a modest achievement, achieving a friend who believes in us is matter of fortune and Harsh is fortunate. 

An enigma called SREE HARSHA - 3 "Second year"

‘’First year of engineering has completed, now we are no more underdogs but scintillating sophomores’’ this idea has deep rooted in our minds.

The first day of second year in our college, to our surprise was very thrilling than the first day of first year. This time Deepu and Mani decided to relish the taste of back bench, as usual all of them were already reserved, but they managed to get the last but one bench. In our college bench means a table with two chairs, quite comfortable to chit-chat while class is going on. Studious Harsh and sreek decided to continue in the front seats. The pangs of partition pained Shivs as Sandy was placed in other section after shuffling according to roll numbers. The class started, front benchers -the eager beavers were very eager about the new subjects, books and all that stuff. The new lecturers applauded last year toppers, as Harsh is the topper last year, he stood at least seven times that first day, and we banged our hands every time he stood.

Deepu and Mani found the new hinterland of them very interesting, no need to listen to classes, no need to act as if they were really interested in the class (which we did last year). We felt like birds out of cage.

Later in the afternoon Harsh got a call from his papa, after attending the call he said that his papa got transferred to Anakapalli. Deepu, Mani, Harsh celebrated the transfer, as Harsh is also going to join the Ankapalli club.Mani started to go and come to college by train and became a great patron of Indian railways. Harsh and Deepu continued to come by college bus. Harsh and Mani used to go to Deepu’s house which geographically nearer to both their houses and used to discuss, chit-chat.

 Finally we prepared ourselves to face our first ever examination in Engineering, the intention of this exam was to reshuffle the entire CSE first years into two sections one for relatively bright students, other section for relatively dull students. Some how all of us fared well in the exam, worth mentioning about Deepu’s first rank ,but no comments on his rank, as all of us know what made him get the first rank. Pro- tempore the topper is Mr.Deepu. Of course immediately from the next exam Harsh started fleeing away with first rank.

 Harsh means not only a ranker or eager -beaver, there was also another side of him which slept for almost 17-18 years. One very fine morning our EDC lecturer Achari was seriously taking class about some electronic stuff and deepu was eagerly waiting for someone (something).Guess what! It was for interval and Deepu was die-hard fan of our College Canteen’s Samosa, especially the blood-red tomato sauce (of course, the content of tomato in that sauce wasequal to the content of lead in ‘lead pencil’!).No sooner Mr. Achari left our class then Deepu fled away to canteen with his side-kick Mani. Meanwhile Shivs and Sandy observed that Harsh is eager to say something, they are sure that he was going to say something interesting, but awaited until all of us gathered at our meeting point ‘Verandah’ .No one was interested to listen, but just lent our ears, he expressed his interest in one of our classmates, fortunately that classmate is a girl, so no problem with the Indian laws. Don’t get excited he didn’t express it to her, but to us. Of course we (except Harsh) were  not dumb-heads to pass over his likeliness towards her right from day 1.This was no surprise for us in his case because, any guy who was not into co-ed system and boarded in hostel for eons gets excited even with the slightest interaction with a girl. This is a universal law, it’s same for any homosapien and our Harsh is no exception (If you agree that he is human after all.)  . Sreek started kidding him regarding her and initially remaining of us used to sulk, but it took no time for us to start kidding him. Days passed so fast, we reached out final exams. We studied independently, wrote exams and dispatched ourselves for holidays. The day we got result was very special day; all of us got good result. The mind –blowing news was that Harsh and Sreek were in the college top ten, she ias also very much in the top ten, another mind-boggling news was that Harsh topped the college .Rest of the guys’ result was also not trivial. The first year completed and the good result behoved all of us to do well in the coming years. 

                                                                                                                                                                                            

An enigma called SREE HARSHA - 1

During the very first days of college we(Sreekanth ,deepu,sandy, Shiva n I) were not ‘we’ as we don’t know each other, but all of us (except one guy) individually noticed one thing. A person with thick mustache, stiff posture, carrying an executive bag and interrupting teachers whenever they go wrong. Whenever teachers  do mistake , the root cause of their irritation ,anger, anguish, torment…whatever may be the emotion, it is SREE HARSHA , as he is the one who used to pinpoint the very mistake even before the teachers does it . We didn’t even know his name those days, but it took no time for us to learn his name because of his congenital nature of getting recognition where ever he go.

                       Those days neither of us knew that we are going to be friends (best ever), but the destiny. Slowly with in few days, a small group has taken shape .During intervals we used to gather at the verandah and confabulate about our petty deeds at school. It is worth mentioning that Harsh was from Sainik School, confined in that world for almost seven years, the rest of the world was a bit new for him. Harsh was completely new to the co-education system, of course he claims that he studied in co-ed school during his primary education, but we hardly believed it! 

Vignan Yuvtarang -the title is apt but...

"Vignan's yuvtarang " the title is very apt and the whole event was a big success!

What about the tagline "blending technology with ecology"?...

I could find a banner with a message "avoid using me" on its face and there are some images of plastic things,that is ok,but at the same time disposable water containers (made of plastic) are used in thousands of numbers,even the ID card holder is also made of plastic, where has the tagline gone? lost some where in the woods?(If there are any).It 'd have been better if they had not given that tagline.I think its given only to attract electronic and print media.There is a saying in telugu "దెయ్యాలు వేదాలు వల్లించినట్లు ",this theme was also in similar mode.
