Having passed out of my college, I am already missing a lot of friends. I imagine I will meet them sometime in the future, but if that time takes really long in coming, will I be able to expect what I see?
So to answer this important question, I will write down my thoughts about what I expect I will see, if something really weird happens and I get to meet each friend only after 10 years!
PK
Well, it’s highly unlikely that I won’t see him for the next 10 years because we are very likely to become room-mates in Bengaluru. In any case, as I see him today, I think he will be a pretty successful hardware/chip design engineer at some company, maybe even Sun Microsystems! Besides that, I think he will be happily married to civil someone and with a kid!
Swami
The Swami is currently going to study abroad. After 10 years, I think he will be a proffy at some big university. Definitely married, and that too, to a Tam-Bram-Bombshell if not a certain person from an island on the Indian Ocean! He’ll be zooming around in a car, with a laptop that still runs the same distro of Linux as he first used in college (lol, ie if the distro survives that long), and for some reason telling his 3 year old kid that MSWord is a brilliant piece of software!
Balli
I will really miss this guy from in my best friends circle, if he decides not to join Sun Microsystems. If that happens, in 10 years I expect he will be an academic person, though I can’t imagine in what area. No body really knows what he is interested in, even himself! My safest bet would be on something mathematical and perhaps related to computer organisation. Otherwise, I don’t expect his mannerisms and mokkaidom to change much 
. What I am sure of is that, he will be very sure of himself and will be quite assertive. The Balli from college who used to be a virtual punching bag in any conversation, will be no more. The Balli then, will be a person who returns every dart that is thrown at him, if not with more darts following. Except of course his mom. She is likely to be the only person who kicks his butt even then!
KKS
Or should I say ‘Paper’ Karthik Srivatsa? Actually heaven knows what name will be appropriate for him in 10 years! But I expect two things to happen. One is a Ph.D and the second is a lot of tiny KKSes running around the house! Yes, KKS has already charted out family plans. There are of course, the following questions that immediately come to mind:
Does he still say that he is not a fruit?
In vain, yes.
Does he still act like a kid?
I really doubt it for his sake, but it’s possible!
Srik
Srik is well, Srik. One of the most witty persons I know. In ten years, I think he will have become quite an established film and music critic. His blog about cinema is growing really fast, as he keeps updating often! I won’t be surprised if he becomes a source of good content for papers and magazines; I am sure he has the potential. Though I don’t know much about his professional side, lots of his classmates say that he is among the best at NIT Trichy, so I expect him to be nothing short of being extremely successful.
Damaal
Damaal is quite damaal. I doubt he will hear of this post until multiple people tell him that he is one of the stars in it , and give him a link to it as well. He is going to Virginia Tech and I really fear for his safety! The fact is that, being absorbed in something like math, computers, music or electronics, he may not hear a gunman behind him! Assuming he learns some survival skills before he is off to the States, and I meet him after 10 years, he will certainly be a successful engineer, but thats the unimportant part. In ten years he will be married. I am sure of it. He has sworn to me about it and is working very hard towards that end. His classmates tell me that he has started in earnest, with the girls in his class. LOL.
Venkat
Venkat is another smart chap (the other two being Srik and Damaal) from EEE at NIT Trichy, the 2004-08 batch. This guy is going to study M.Tech at IISc! So, it’s not difficult to say what a hard working guy like him will become in 10 years. A learned man definitely. Rumours abound about the Babe Magneto and his லீலைகள் (Leelaigal – antics), but only time will tell what actually happens. But we can expect something interesting!
Fabulous post… Lets hope we do not wait for 10 years to meet! And the damaal link (virginia shootout) LOLOL…
What about Wally? Check the pics da… they don’t show up…
I think PK is gonna grab your throat for that strikethrough!!!
Sorry, the problem was in my connection, the pictures are proper…
I’m going to put a part 2 to this I guess. As I continued writing I found that I want to write (and make some fun) of so many more people. So will do that tonight I guess
Good to see you making an attempt in humor-filled blog. I hope you have an account for yourself in the next post, where you can move your crush(es) ahead ! Or else I will help you with my blog if you feel shy and all ;-P
Firstly, it is a nice idea and I guess most of them will turn out to be true! Lets organise a reunion of these ppl after 10 years guys! Somewhere, anywhere!!
To clear up some matters relating to myself, the person whom u might be referring to as i assume is not srilankan!! (I am going to take this up with satellite to start that rumour!)
Fedora is going to go big places. Don’t think the number of geeks using it (not afraid to say that mostly geeks use it) us NOT going to reduce in this world, unless people start going dumb more. I thought that was one of the important points against M$ Windows, making people dumb!
PS: MS Office still is a sexy piece of s/w!
oh man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
exxxxxxxtremely funny !!!!!!!
lol!!!!
am doubtful if i can see u in proper shape d next time v meet up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahaha..
they’l be waitin to bang ur head !!!!!!!!
lol..
but wat a pity……………………………………..(dats a secret)
sorry guys, not meant to be posted
@blogjamun:
How can I say what I think I will be like in ten years if I don’t meet myself?
Thats pretty minor, but didn’t you like the post?
@Karthik:
I guess you mean that satellite started the rumour. In any case, the said person is a Tam-Bram, so it’s ok.
At least spare the kids the MS Office ads man!
@renu:
Thank you. And thank you for sparing me too
You write about yourself or I ll have to do it
And all people he is written controversial stuff about us to increase blog visits 
Cheap tactics !!
@blogjamun: Cheap tactics ah?! It’s my thoughts da
.
wat abt these qns?
1. will pk ever put on weight??
2. will swami get punished for killing cows @ nitt by wearing his orange pants. ??
3. will balli retain his MR.CHAAT award?
4. how abt g3?
5. “theyvai patta ….” how many ???
@kaushik:
, except by wearing heavy clothing or surgery!
Thank you for raising these questions
My feelings:
1) Nah, PK is incapable of putting on weight
2) Indian laws don’t seem to have anything against swami, but in Purdue there are bound to be problems!
3) Of course balli will retain his title. Who do you think he is? He is not some balli. He is THE balli!
4) g3? I don’t know much about this, but I think the best person to ask is KKS himself.
5) lol man. I don’t know
@ pk and shriek : wid like to see u r take on the same subject
@sureshwar: It’s kind of unlikely that they will see it until you mail them
. This is such an old post.
Hmm… It must be a miracle I came across the post again. As for my post, you will hae to wait a bit… 10 years
Fantastic post!! WOW!!
Where is the PART2??
As for writing part 2, I figured that I knew enough about too few people to make another post. So I don’t think there’s going to be one!
Reading this after (about) year and a half. Feels awesome.
