i saw her first on AUG 3 2011, 10:10 a.m
I first spoke to her in lab.
She started it.
If she hadn't started the conversation, i guess i never would have spoken too.
It was like a Rahman song,
'arambathil oru enam puriyatha inimai,
mela valarum kadhal athan isai mel
thideerena soolnthukolum sogam mudintha pin'
i never thought it as a big issue and i moved on with my day until..
Engulfed by the darkness i closed my eyes and every word she uttered came rushing back towards me.
i opened my eyes,i couldn't lie down, there was a massive pressure thrusting against my chest.
i sat down and uttered her out aloud. The pressure mildly floated away.
i smiled and rolled over.

The next day she spoke again.
Later that day when i came out of the lab,i realized everything had been changed.
She had misplaced all the variables and altered all the equations of my life.

[present 1 and 2nd years , It was a different MIT back then,different rules!] "macha, sir yarunu theriyuthada nethu ava sonala.. ivarthan" ,it started like this and went on for 2 hours,i was losing my so-called self respect and dignity at a tremendous rate. "seri ippo po ,nalaiku vanthu paru.."(nalaikuma??) And when i was about to leave,"dei..inga va important mater,unaku avala munadiyae theriyuma??" "ila senior, inga vanthuthan"  "goyyalae apuram epdida athukula ushar panna???" i was filled with rage at her. 'nalaiku setha av...

 BHAVANI HOSTEL,  SEP 27,2011.  I watched THE WARDEN, DEPUTY WARDEN march towards me.  They were coming to kick me out of hostel.  It was over; everything had come to an end.  A tear rolled down my cheek involuntarily when i realized I had to spend the rest of my teenage in jail.  They stopped before me. “DEI KELAMBU DA.. ”, said Deputy Warden.  EARLIER THAT DAY ,  A small crowd had gathered and they were in a heated argument.  A nearby guy replied to me “dei nama hostela laptop,panam lam thirutu pochula?? Kandu pudichutomda.ivanthan da athu.iniku oruthan purse a thirudum bothu matikutan.unga roomla koda kanoomnu soneengala kelu da.. ” I stepped deeper to see.  My entire body flipped out as I saw him. I backed off before he could see me and walked swiftly away from there as quick as possible.  It was the guy who brought drug from me, the guy who went with White, THE GUY WHO SAW MY FACE. It made sense; ...
