The College BUS............

I think this topic needs no description but it's worth mentioning as it was always the inseparable part of our college life.. Whether we traveled in it or not but we enjoyed the special ride we used to get once in a while.. It used to be the Symbol of Engineering College and at that time we were the only college with the Bus facility.. Even the big building adjacent to us was nowhere near to boast something like that...

The Bus Came later in the year and till then we were all "Natarajans" or The Walking Guys....
Bus was just an escape from that walking in the beginning but slowly it became an entity in everyone's life... I think it has seen all the actions over the times .. may be students changed but it still remains the same... It was a mute spectator or witness to everything that happened in and around us...

(Now dont say I have to put a bigger picture, frankly this is all I cud manage at this point of time.. may be I will update it ASAP for bigger n better pics.......)


This is were it stayed when it didn't had anything special to offer............


We had gr8 times being in it.. Long trips to Kannur and Kasargod Engineering college or the IT mela tour to Trivandrum. It was all along with us. It's true everybody used the bus from seniors to juniors , teachers everyone but if there's anybody who actually lived along with the bus was the first batch..... Coz the college was so small and we knew everyone and everything very closely and we had enough time to spend with... Sometimes being small has it's own advantage in the sense that it is easier to know each other and I am really proud our college was small enough to let us take that advantage.....I just loved to travel on the foot boards and our Drivers were really kind enough to let us to be there... Sometimes we were the part time "kili's"... we just enjoyed it like anything...The frequent "Anthakshari's", the couple seats ...it had every stack of enjoyments filled in it in all corners......

Remember Me...........



Even though this context is regarding bus only, but I dont want to miss out the other vehicle we were somewhat proud of even though we seldom traveled in that (coz it was not allowed or it was reserved for Staffs)...It was the Jeep... A thing I wudn't forget coz during one of the strike me n Sam were the first persons to inflate it's tyre ........And Anitha madam pulled me on that incident...So thought of putting that too in here...Sandeep was there and I remember there was a comedy when madam asked us abt tht incident.. remember that Sand?????

Bus can't do anything without pilots.. we had two pilots back then, Reji ettan and Shaaji ettan..( we fondly called them ettans)... I dont remember ever taking bus pass from College office.. All my rides were just free of cost... Thanks to them.. will get to know more about them during our IT Mela trip to Thiruvananthapuram....

Here on Bus will be a constant actor in every post, as it is so hard to complete them without it....
