Meet my batchmates- Part 5

Some more of my  IIMB batch (excerpts from our year book)

N. SRITHARAN (THARAN, TODDLER)

He believed in toddling casually into the class 55 minutes late or 75 minutes early depending

on which class you are thinking of. He had the dubious distinction of being the youngest guy in

the class and younger than most of the girls (even the age they claimed). His voice is

remarkable. It is a real treat to hear him when he is tipsy. Even otherwise, he says all the right

things at the wrong time.

“When the baby is Three months old, milk is not enough”

R. RATAN KUMAR (RAT, RANDALL, RATS)

After distinguishing himself in such diverse fields as Veena (the instrument) and Cricket

(equaled Derek Randall in agility), he settled for the title of Computer Cat. While we

complained, he thrived on the mess grub. One more living example to support the theory that

roly-poly guys are a good humored lot. Once an honorary member, G lock bground floor, later

defected to a loftier alternative (G first).

“The problem with joining The rat race is, even if you Win, you are still a rat”.

ROSEMARY THOMAS (MARIYAMMA)

Her multi-faceted personality manifested itself in Baddy, Elocution, Presentations. Mess

Managament and burglary. She wasn't convinced she could act until junta went ga-ga over her

Edna portrayal in "Lefty". She contributed a lot to the survival of IIMBIBE through noncontribution. Was disappointed to find Japanese women didn't fight for W. Lib. Favorite

pastime: Reading the Mural over and over again. Source of her strength: Paushtik Bondas and

PJs.

“Alas! That spring should vanish with the Rose”

P. SANKARAN (P SHANKS / THE MAN FROM SPIC)

Founder President of Madras Jaycees and GLASS (G Block Liquor Association) and the

manager of various G Block sporting (?) teams. His frequent Madras trips raised many

eyebrows-until he announced his engagement. He put his foot in the mouth as frequently as

he brushed his teeth. But when he put it on the ground, he struck a new game-Frisbee Footer,

which caught on· His reverberating laugh won't be easily forgotten, for various reasons.

“He drank life to the lees”
