6A ,5th Main Road

Was at 6A after a 5 months hiatus . Have never been ever since I changed my coordinates . This surely would be one of the places I frequented the most

This house has seen the Childs fight to the street fight , the fall & rise , the ups & downs ,the ego & the sacred self of each one of us in the GUMBAL .

During the school & college days , when we were not that privileged to flaunt the mobiles we do now, one number which my parents knew by heart apart from my residence was 24790725.

This place was also a temple of all leisure activities , people would be playing tennis , cricket on the narrow pathway as well as the terrace ensuring the ball only to be hit in to the next locked apartment in the 2nd floor or to the adjoining house guarded by 3-4 dogs . people would fight to decide who would jump and pick up the ball.

I had also spent many afternoons ,sleeping at this house ,when others would be preparing for the 10th Board ,12th Board & TNPCEE exams . Infact I had many night out at this place , the only motivational hygiene being the biscuit packet & hot tea that PP’s father would get us for staying awake.

This Is also the place ,people would make it a point to drop in religiously whenever they are in India from whichever place on the world map.This place for the last 20years had played a pivotal role in forming many relationships . Though I wont say , that the 3 are the best friends (which isn't ) , but then this place finds a mention on the Trio's ( Vidhya - PP - Natti) life.
Now 6A is all set to add one more new member to the family . Though many of our fellow chininmates have moved on to the next phase of family life , Iam still pinching hard to believe our Pradeep Parthasarathy is all set to shun the elite single tag .
Just as the famous lines goes :-

We are all a little weird And life's a little weird,
And when, like you, you find Someone whose weirdness is compatible with yours,
You join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness & call it love.

As rightly said, this is the place i'm sure most of us have spent school and college days together.
