Hearken to me, Hearties : F.R.I E.N.D.S

Wrote the first post, got lost in a whirlpool of engagements and re-surfaced tody. The con of not being one who writes ,  is that even if you try observe the world around , even if you take a power nap, even if you sit and think without moving ,  the only thing which you are gonna get is - mosquito bites(I happen to live in Kerala , a.k.a God's Own Country(Gods love a good laugh)) . So, after many unsuccessfull tries to get a good topic to write about , i turned to my friends,  Ms.MnM and Mr/s Rekha and the almost always silent listener of our Whatsapp group , Ms V . I ask them what to write about and as usual, only pulling my leg happens instead of any productive work. So, i thought why not write about my brigand of Guggus . Here it goes -

People say cousins are one's first friends . Well, even though i have a tremendous numberof cousins, I won't say that I was that much acquainted with them , save a few. After 20 years  and a hinch of good friends, I happened to join The Pondicherry University for my Post Grad studies. And there, I get an awesome bunch of guggus. Other acquaintances took the liberty of naming us as le HPPs, or High Profile People. We should've made it official, but .. Lost the chance . Even though none said it out loud , what I believe is that we were trynna live up to what Robin Williams , may he rest in peace, said : You're only given one little spark of madness . You mustn't lose it. I seriously doubt that we had a lot more than a spark of madness in us , but, hell , it was fun . Two years of literally no studies and only fun . except during the semester exams . and the internal exams. And during the final semester project. Behold , the members of the HPP:

Ms P - From Bangalore or Bengaluru as they call it nowadays . lives by the motto - do timepass till 4 in the morning and sleep till 10 minutes before your class. Loves animals and  a good laugh and a good song .

Mr. S  - From Nashik, a veeeery rural place in Maharashtra . live by the motto - eat, eat and eat even more. I've seen a meme which tells to eat the person who tells you to eat less.  He is that kind of person . Well, he would have been, if he wasn't a vegan . an awesome artist .

Mr . V - from Pune, Maharashtra . due to some anger issues and a natural tendency to be a moderately talented Drama Queen , a.k.a Rekha, after the famous Bollywood actress. Thrives on procrastination. Foodie.

Ms. V - from Vizag(from which fragment of former Andhra Pradesh, I forgot.) A member of a rare specimen who talks a lot (:D) and does even more. Brilliant in studies . poor in movies and even worse in eating .

Ms MnM - basically from Hyderabad , but, lives in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai or
Ahmadabad based on her mood. :D :D
Likes to say that her house is Indian Railways (for Einsteins : its Cuz she travels a lot. ) Loves animals, Deep Purple , The Beatles and whatnot.  Highly nocturnal. Ms P's elder sister, when it comes to this.

Anne - one pet we loved the most. Found her as a puppy , in fact , one of the most cutest puppies ever. Loves coffee . Extremely naughty, when I saw hwe last , some 3 weeks ago.

Well . this makes up the HPP.
At par with them , I also had a few down to earth (as opposed to HPP) extremely close ffriends

Ms.N - An indian version of Alex Dunphy from Modern Family. From Bilaspur, Chhatisgarh. loves to study and watch Korean movies . Stubborn . Lol

Mr. SKD - From Kolkata . Zoology background, but a genius at Coding. Another extreme nocturnal. Remember the race between the Hare and the Tortoise ?? He is the Tortoise. In all senses.

Ms I - from Lucknow . Creative. If you ever need some knick-knacks , she defenitely has it in her bag. Guaranteed.

These. These are the few souls who made life awesome, the last two years. Great souls. Even greater Guggus.

Ciao.

PS : Guggu is a word in the Kannada language ( Kannad as majority of Indians would call it (which is absolutely guggu-ish of them !!)). it means - Idiot .  Fool also, can do.

PPS : One might've heard of people getting lost in the famous Indian Kumbh Mela(a festival sort of occassion where hundreds of thousands of people come together). According to MnM and S , they are siblings who got lost at an extremely long buffet table.

PPPS : The giy who can be seen in both the pictures with humans, is ze Author. Would've loved to be in the pic with Anne too, but, she doesnt pose well people around.
