Chicku was my junior in college, and the photo above was snapped in his room on Non-Pol Avenue, during our batch’s final countdown.
(There is a story behind all that brown paper on the walls, do ask me some time)
We shared a passion for quizzing and movies. And during my 8th sem study leave (and Chicku’s 7th), when the whole hostel was in hyper kuth mode, we used to have these never ending movie quizz sessions (Mick Martin & Marsha Porter, Thank you!). Our other common interests included music, books, quizzing, partying and chorichil, and we had had a great time together.
Chicku always used to say RIP, and he was right.

I know what is behind the brown paper–some of it is showing anyway(you are the lite of my life etc) but tough (looking)brothers are a pain no matter whose brothers they are.I have had to endure several “uppumma”s and “chai’s”from canteen gopi(remember,when you order puris,he brings uppumma)early in the mornings with chicku so that he could witness the morning fashion parade from close quarters!!

nice to see someone I probably knew. Was chiku from Kottayam? Probably I played contract bridge with his younger & elder brother . By the way. I am of 1982-86 batch, Mech.
Had a long association with Rec even after I passed out ( no, no back paper-I happened to get a job at Cochin)
