TMS......

when i came to IIT, it was the first time i was staying outside my home...it was sort of unburdening experience...but i was naturally apprehensive about who was gonna be my roommate....then i spotted this guy..who looked distinctively north indian...in fact like a nepali...:P,.....who was alloted the same room as me...then i asked him something and instinctively he replied in telugu......it was quite a relief......iam not against north indians..relief was due to the fact i could listen to telugu songs with out any one objecting to it....as it turned out he did not even object to my playing tamil songs....we did not exactly become great buddies from day one...there was a kind of aloofness about us..but we interfered very little in each other's business....our paths seldom crossed ...so life went on smoothly.....

then after a few days.....during our exam times when we were thrown together because we had to read for our exams we were having one of our rare talks....as we kept talking i told him about my engg days..and as i went into my flash back....he soon started talking about his..and soon we realised that we had lot in common...............and from that day it was never the same...we went on to become very good friends.....one of the few really good friends that i could relate to ...in iit....soon we were best of friends.....helping each other out ...teasing each other...and along with raghav..we formed a trio....of very good friends, who had a gala time...................

soon we had our single rooms and we were on our own paths for our courses ..but our friendship still endures.......he has moved on from strength to strength....and i have come several notches in our academic schedules....but our friendship is still something to treasure and wonder....

He is none other Mahesh..alias Thakur Maheshwar singh....TMS ...as he likes to call himself.....he was the guy who was my inspiration for studying for the only minors i read in iit ...;)......topper and the bright boy....with a warm heart......and lot of smiles to offer.....he is one guy....whom i can tease with out worrying that he will take offence...for we have had that fizz going...anycase the only one reason iam giving this jerk a pride of place in my blog is......he has his birthday today......and i wish him a very very very,......Happy Birthday..........hope u get best of life in everything buddy........
