Vignesh A.K.A Kuppa..

The reason for me starting with Mr.Vignesh Ramesh is that he was more like a median in our class. He is close to the two hemispheres of the class. He had no difficulty in striking a balance between his relationships with individuals, groups or even the so called 'Gangs'. :-P He attaches equal importance to everyone and a bit extra care for one person he finds so special. And it won't be fair if I reveal the name here. Though his voice sounds hard, he is a soft and an unassuming boy in the class. If I had all the brains that this guy has got, I would imagine myself at the top of the world! If you are longing to see humbleness personified, you should meet Vignesh. I couldn't remove those days from my head when we were sitting together and I loved to disturb Kuppa while he was busy taking notes with utmost sincerity, which was obviously missing in me. :-P At the end of the hour, all that one could find are few scribbling which carried no meaning, very similar to the one found on the walls of the caves where cavemen lived once. Even if I had not disturbed him, his notes wouldn't have been any different from ancient scriptures. Also, I remember the day when he paid some 7k for me after withdrawing money voluntarily from the bank available in the college. He can be counted on when you really need him. There are few things he couldn't stand though his tolerance is very high. You should once try bothering him for a prolonged period of time. You will meet the other side of Kuppa immediately. I made such an attempt and all I had in the end were few really hard blows from him! If you want to encounter a devil under human skin, you should try harassing Vignesh. The best thing about Kuppa is he goes flawless most of the times, except for when he plays cricket. And especially when he bowls, watch out for those deadly deliveries that would pull the life out of you! I'll never forget the game when he gave away 21 runs in the very first over of the match. To compensate for that and to prove his reputation as a forceful bowler, his confidence pushed him to ask for another chance. And this time, it's again the first over of the game. It's again Kuppa who started with the proceedings. And this time, its not 21 but 19 if my memory isn’t proven wrong. What is to be highlighted here is his confidence. Confidence keeps him going. There is something really interesting about Kuppa. It's his smile. And also his laugh. Tell him a really good joke that he finds appealing and you would find him do something that makes you feel that someone invisible is trying to choke him to death. You might be appalled. But, believe me. He just laughed. If there was a student in our class who made a gentleman at the outer shell, that would be Kuppa. He is quite the same within. But, I can't justify that completely. Even he can't. :-P. His rigid voice brought him more comments than any other thing he possessed. :-) It's totally unfair if I don't talk about the books he used while he was on a 4 year journey across the ocean called Engineering. :-P Most of the books he used were totally new and I couldn't even spell the authors' names sometimes. Most of the books he used were penned by foreign authors and that was another tool for us to mock him. Ultimately, he started quitting foreign authors towards the end of graduation. This reflects his ability to accustom to the changing environment and his flexibility. It's because of some really good friends that I managed to make 4 good years out of my life and Vignesh is one of them. We had a great time together in the past. I relish our friendship now. I wish this continues for the years to come.
