“I’d like to thank the honorable Chief Guest Arputham, my department HOD Verona, my co-ordinator Jeyaraj, my best friend Deepan, the faculty, and fellow students who spent their valuable time being here!” Pavithra ended the event, which was followed by thundering applause. I was awestruck by her daring act of including my name in the Valedictory speech. Most of them didn’t seem to notice, but her HOD was stunned and confused by her sudden inclusion in their decades-old template. Pavithra winked from the stage and disappeared into the crowd that escorted the chief guest. Pavithra and I’ve been friends for almost three hundred days now, ever since she texted me after reading my blog. She was the first enthusiastic fan outside of my friends for my writing. She genuinely loved all my works and pointed out the few she didn’t. She had invited me to her college for a random workshop on “Girls and how they should be protected.” It was the most backward speech I’ve heard in years. But of co...

Depression Diaries #1: Rashmika Mandanna

Depression Diaries #1: Rashmika Mandanna!   Hey guys! How’s life! Seeing you all after a really long break! Can you guess why I didn’t write these days? Yeah, you’ve guessed right. No one can escape from it. It's so inevitable that even a proper studious student gets in the hold of it. But escaping from it is all in our hands. We should dust everything off us and should start working hard. A nice pep talk right? Wait, did you guys think I am talking about the Depression factor? 😂 No, I was just lazy to write. Thank you for opening this article even after reading the heading.  Sorry for you guys, if you are here to know something about Rashmika. This is something entirely different. Yeah, I can hear you guys very well. I had written about five friends till now, and many readers felt it was getting a little monotonous. Even I felt it. So, I thought of writing about something else too. So I took up my Invisible friend this time, Mr.Depression and am gonna say how I fight w...

Chandana! 💓

Chandana! 💓   Okay, calm down, Deepan, you can do this. Guys, Am quite nervous about this. Till now, writing about people was easy, to be honest. But writing about a strict critic, is tough know? Chandana, is the other friend I got from that day at Viba’s. Within 5 mins, she got so settled and started to talk like, as if, we are friends for over a decade. That day I found out, No one can stop her from talking and eating, and the main thing is, while doing the things I mentioned, she forgets the world. Kishore and I were sitting opposite to her, only to see her eat from her lunch box. She saw us seeing her, and I think she never thought to even ask about our lunch status. She smiled at us, and we became ready to extend our hands for some of her food, but anyway, she continued to eat. If you guys knew Tom and Jerry, then you would remember the character Nibbles too. That’s exactly what she is, when hungry. Apart from this, she talks equal rights for women. She doesn’t drag in it...

Cherishma! 💓

Cherishma! 💓   Abiding to the request of readers, it’s a girl this time too. I can hear you shouting, “When did we ask da?” Wait, I’ll answer. Viba holds the record of the highest views for an article I’ve posted. So, definitely, Kanda and Kishore are less interesting, when there’s a girl’s article nearby. Anyway, let’s talk about the star of the article. Cherishma, is the girl am gonna talk about. I got introduced to her through Viba and it happened unannounced in a random group studies session. I spoke really little to her that day, maybe I was afraid of her strict look maybe! There’s another reason too. I’ll say the reason later. We spoke briefly only in our third meet I guess! Whats special about her da? Yeah, I’ll tell you. She’s so different from all of us. When we all are keeping up with friends through Instagram and WhatsApp, she is the person who likes to speak in person. Or, in the least case, a call. So, we rarely see her online. If we see her too, she would hav...

Viba! 💓

Viba! 💓   Guyssssss! Am excited as you are! Yes! It’s a girl this time. She’s Viba, Viba Shravanthi. Looks like BOND... JAMES BOND right! Yeah. Even I felt it. So, I wrote it here, Viba. She gave me Rs.25/- through Gpay to quote James Bond. Yes, she’s atrocious, but the caring, busy ASPL of our school. Yes, sometimes responsible too. Talking about her, the first day we spoke is worth mentioning. We had a mass class shuffling, and I almost lost ¾th of my friends. We, the remaining people took a vow, not to speak or make friends with the new nerdy guys. But promises are meant to be broken. It was me who broke it. Basically being a Thirunelvelian, am a shy type. And those who believe this, thank you for your trust! 😂 I just passed by her that day, didn’t even know she existed in that class till then. She was like, like asking to light up a cigarette, asked me my Facebook ID. I turned to her, wanted to show the shock on my face. Seeing that, she didn’t seem to care. It wasn’t...

Kanda Boopathy! 💓

Kanda Boopathy! 💓   Okay! I’ll start from the first. We are together since LKG. He had been prominently in our gang since then. He was a thin, idiot-looking, funny person then. No one would’ve guessed him to be the best friend one could have. Like everyone, even I didn’t! I didn’t know much of him during our initial days. Or my memory file got corrupted it seems. All I remember is, he used to do whatever I asked him to do. But that request should have some proper purpose, or else you will end up getting a dead stare. In 2014, our Sixth Standard’s December, something interesting happened. We all planned to go to a film. We were 11 year old then. My mom allowed me to choose from which set of slipper I liked to get hit. But she got convinced after Kanda said his father would accompany us. It wasn’t in the plan, and I never wanted him to be disturbed. It was because of Kanda’s father, we had been able to watch movie then. We didn’t know what a big shot he was! I’ll write it ...

Karen-um Naanum! ❤️

Karennnnnnnnnn!   “One year ah wait panni kudikuren indha coffee ah,” I told. She looked up in awe. Then she smiled. “Aaamaaaaaa Deepaaaannnnnnn”, no exaggeration, she said that, the same way I’ve written. “Karen, naan onnu sollanum,” I told. She sipped her coffee again. She was all ears. What did I tell her? Solren. Before that, who is she? Karen is the first girl to talk with me from college. So, I immediately felt so good, thinking about how my beautiful profile picture has attracted her to speak with me. Later, I got to know the bitter truth that she texted everyone in the college and introduced herself. So, first bulb-uh. Talking about coffee, I asked her if we could have a coffee together. She said yes. But that coffee didn’t happen. I got busy with my personal life, and she was there, but I never cared to look back at her. A year passed by, and destiny brought us together again for a book fair, for which we both volunteered. This time, I was in the ‘I have nothing to lose’ m...

The Tragedy Of Juliet and Romeo

The Tragedy Of Juliet and Romeo Montagues and Capulets have fought all their lives. Romeo falls in love with Juliet, the moment he sees her. But what if she never liked him back? Have a small recap on Romeo & Juliet here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zxrjfrd/revision/1#:~:text=It%20is%20a%20tragic%20love,being%20separated%20from%20one%20another. “No Romeo, I never thought about you that way," Juliet said, sitting in the brim of the window in her room. Romeo had climbed all the way up to her window. He looked disappointed but didn’t lose the spirit. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night”, he expressed. Juliet frowned. “Well, you’re just 16. Trust me, there are more beautiful people than me. Also, stick to normal language. It’s hard to catch up”, she said. “You remember you kissed me? How would you explain that?”, Romeo questioned her back. She swallowed in confusion. “Romeo, I’m barely 13. What do you expect me to ...
