Vishnuvarthan A.K.A Chithappa..


As soon as you enter our class, if you find a boy standing up to show the usual respect to staff members, that would be Vishnu. Because he was the only one who respected the staff members when we were a part of the college. I don't know how or why we started calling him Chithappa/Sithappu. Though, he became a part of us only at the beginning of 2nd year, I now feel like I've spent with him as much time as I did with other friends in my class. Anyone would feel that way because he is such a wonderful person to be with. He is so cool that even when you tell him that tomorrow is the Judgment Day for earth, you would find a smile, very much characteristic of him, creeping up his chin. He has a perfect control over his temper and can make the best 'CONTROL' engineer! When it comes to taking notes, he is way too sincere. I still wonder what he used to take down for I find him writing something even when the board has nothing written on it. I guess he would take down whatever the staff members speak out. If there is a human on this earth who respects Mangayarkarasi, that would be Vishnuvarthan. Vishnu sounds sensible in whatever he speaks. He is one of the best people in the class who could handle relationships tactfully. He never takes advantage of others. Instead, he sometimes goes out of the way to help people, no matter what he means to them. He never projected himself as one of the best students in the class though he really is one. He is known for his simplicity. One can easily find that he is trying to control himself and avoid venting his anger on others just by watching his reactions when you harm him. I once tried doing this. I kept pestering him while he was taking notes. He turned towards me slowly, with his eyes half closed and I was pretty sure he was trying not to bring down his anger upon me. :-P I would never forget his birthday when we went to his place and had a great time. We were so happy to realize that it was really a surprise for Chithappa and what was pending for the day was a bigger amusement. We went to a beach along ECR. Chithappa had a nice time in the water. His age restricted him from spending more time in the water.:-P Nevertheless, he had a great time. We had a great time with him. The only time he would be found losing his cool is when he finds that someone is in trouble. That was the only time I find a raise in his voice. But you should really be careful when you message him for the first time because he would question you in such a way that you will think you have messaged the Director of CBI by mistake. It's very usual to find people asking 'Who is this?' when they receive an anonymous message. But, where in the world would you find someone asking 'Give me your details' as soon as you send him a message? And remember that you're his classmate when you messaged him.:-P Another funny incident, which should actually be called very serious, happened when one of our class boys tried to irritate Chithappu. I don't remember the exact incident now since Chithappa's reaction overshadowed it and in the end it was Chithappa's dialogue that sounded funny which was 'Enakku kovam vanduduna avlavu than'. Lol. :)) The best thing about Chithappa is his mystique smile which would make even his foes forget their stands against him.:-P Most of the times, Vishnu reminds us of 'Vijayakanth'. I personally feel he is an ardent fan of Puratchi Kalignar because his body language is closely related to that of Vijayakanth's.:-P Whatever he is, he is one of the best friends in the block. I've had really great time with him. In fact everybody did. It's very hard to find someone outside your family so caring and affectionate. I am so lucky to have a friend like Chithappu on my side. We all are. It's beyond impossible to carry with you a positive attitude all the time. Chithappu breaks down this statement and always reflects a positive attitude towards the people he loves the most and especially towards his batch-mate who is as brilliant as he is. After all, brains go only with brains.:-P You've been successful so far and I wish to see you bag more success stories in your future, irrespective of your age.:-P Our friendship is destined to stay green forever Chithappu.
