Arya Reunion

School can be a strong influence on anyones life . It usually rubs off a lot onto the induvidual lending certain peculiar qualities , each school's different , on the students who spend the major part of the formative period of their young lives inside the walls of the institution , soaking in the principles and philosophies of the school . Almost certainly a mark of the school is stamped on the person for life , making him recognisable as the product of the particular school where ever life might take him .

As for me , I spent the last 9 years of my school life in Arya Central School , Pattom , making it undoubtedly the single most influential institution which has starred in my life , as of yet . Arya evokes different reactions in different ex-students ( or inmates ) . Some who have studied there for just a couple of years , look back on it with mild affection , while others who have spent 14 or so years there despise it so much that they would want nothing more than to be never reminded of those sad years spent at The Arya Central Jail . But what ever their opinion it is a fact that the school has changed them in some way or the other .

Anyway , yesterday was the first reunion of the 2002 passouts of Arya , held at Hotel Parkfield . Even though planned and executed within a short span of about just 2-3 days , the event was quite a success . Everyone was happy that they 'FINALLY' got to meet their school mates FOR THE FIRST TIME! Anyway there was loads of fun to be had . Everyone was falling head over heels for Anuja , turning the pretty kid into an instant celebrity . ChiChi like always managed to be the centre of a attraction , with her eyes still mersmerising every guy present , and making their hearts flutter with her smile and down turned eyes . I , like always was running around with a camera trying to capture the fun and frolic .

After the reunion we , the guys , decided to go to kovalam . So we started out to kovalam in two cars , racing and swearing all the way , Jidesh flooring it in Sajith's zen and Ashish following suit in my 800 . Once there , we shed our clothes and jumped into the welcoming sea , ofcourse in the close proximty of the most promising chick in the water . So an hour of the wind and waves , interspersed with glances towards the WET gals in the vicinity , left us all refreshed and pumped up . Then finally managing to pry ourselves from the water ( and our eyes from the very sexy gals in the water) we raced back to the city to get a hotel & eat our fills and start back home by 8 . But I still had to get my hands on the pics I had snapped from Manu the very same night . So started a frantic flight to three homes finally managing to download the pics onto a computer and writing it .

So we are all looking forward to the next reunion . Lets hope everyone shows up . This time 72 showed up , out of the 200 aryiites who passed out in 2002 . Next time let us hope for 200 .
