Alternatively Titled: Overheard at the Cafeteria.
Our little group,’OMFC’ as we proudly call it, is one of a kind.
In the sense, it didn’t matter, if the economy was going up or down. It didn’t matter if we started every single day asking ourselves, if we might still be having this job tomorrow. It didn’t even matter if the girl sitting next to our seats didn’t give us a second glance. No wait, THAT acutally did matter.
The point is, no matter what happened, we always managed to keep finding something to laugh at, and if nothing, we used to make fun at ourselves. Its not as if, we were not worried. It was just that, we didn’t believe anything could possibly go wrong.

And thats the way it used to go…Not everyday,..but everyday.., atleast until about a few months ago.
I miss those 7th Floor Gossips, I miss having lunch with 9 people on one table,I miss the Nayar kadai bajjis,I miss those “Voluntary” Birthday treats,I terribly miss the Madhu room parties, I miss the potti kadai puffs, I miss those TT matches in the evenings, I miss the six-pack gym sessions, I miss the weekend trip to TopSlip, I miss the Lift which stops on every floor on the way up, I miss the canteen laughter, I miss the library used to book movie tickets, I miss putting rank to the Top-3 girls in the building, I miss getting those 30 chain mails just because Madhu’s best feature was “Lips”, I miss Thalai’s philosophy, I miss the Microsoft Communicator chats, I miss the Friday-Fundoos…………….
What happened now, you ask ? Just that Life caught up with us. ..
