Another Bypassians Meet........

Hi Bypassians,

Its been a long time since I had blogged...

Well here is another dose of Bypassians.. for Bypassians....... ........ reasons .... were many like office / my housewarming ... etc

I had forgotten to mention about the Bypassians meet ... happened long back ... on the day of holi.

The bypassians present on that day were Girish , Javed, Kempanna, Gopal, Pradeep Singh and me (Somu)

Venue: Pai Victory off - JC road

We had a great time , bringing back the good old days we all had spent in Bhatkal....

The discussion started with the topic on AEC hostel , how bad was the dal and how filthy was the mess.....

Then it turned to our super seniors like Sandeep Shetty, Sharath Shetty, Aravind Singh, Omprakash Rai, Ankinidu........

We also discussed on how scary were the initial days in Hostel ...... My personnel experience on my first day at AEC was the scariest ....

The scenes I had seen on that day were .... peeping from the second floor of second block ...... becos it was a new year day, all of us had locked ourselves in our rooms fearing of some drunk senior knocking our room to ragg us....

at mid night 1.30 we (Basu, Krishna, Altaf......) heard some one shouting .... then what we saw was something taken out from a Rowdy movie......

We saw one of Andhra senior is running behind another one with a sword in his hand...... ooops

We saw the drama for more than 20 minutes ..... all of us shit scared to the core....

Everyone of us decided that ... today is our last day in AEC...... the episode continues.....

This was one of the episodes by me .......

I will keep posting the discussions we had and the experiences we shared in the coming blogs.....

I will leave a few snaps taken on that day ..... (the snaps are not that clear as it were taken on Gopal's N series cell phone )

Umesh is getting married.... Congrats !!!!

Hey Bypassians,

It’s been a long time talking to you all,

Guess who’s happy this month … Wedding bells are ringing for one of our co-bypassian….

Umesh Bhat….is the (un) Lucky …. Sorry Umesh don’t mind for the Un…. Well the experience speaks … what you all married bypassians say …. hmmmm … ????

Umesh has sent the soft copy of his marriage invitation card to post it on bypassians,

Here goes Umesh Bhat inviting all bypassians,

Hi Aecians

I am Inviting You And Your Familly On My Mairrage Function On 4 th May 2007.

Considering this is my personal invitation please attend my marriage.

Umesh V Bhat





I just want to advice Umesh by the following quotes prior to loosing his “Bachelor “Status,

Well Umesh please read them carefully and … better not understand the meaning…..

Just kidding man….. Do not take these quotes seriously…..


Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, then when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.

"Why do married men gain weight while bachelors don't ?
Bachelors go to the refrigerator, see nothing they want, then go to bed.
Married guys go to the bed, see nothing they want, then go to the refrigerator."

"I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; and then it was too late."

"Make love, not war. I'm married, I do both."

"Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener !"

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person"




“Congratulations to you on behalf of all the bypassians”

Sudhir's first and second day at AEC, Bhatkal

Hi Bypassians and AEC'ns,

Its been long time since the last blog,

Sorry for the delay guys,

Well there is a response for my blog on the first day's in AEC and Bhatkal,

Sudhir has responded with his warm memories of Bhatkal,

Such memories will make us feel the time of Bhatkal.... those first days in Bhatkal with lots of hopes and thrills...... why dont you all share the first days at Bhatkal .....at AEC...???

Here goes Sudhir's First and second day...


Dec 4th, 1993
Time: 8 AM.
We took a rickshaw from Vaibhav to AEC!!!..I was amazed to see the rickshaw mounting a hill.............!!!!!!!!
My parents were there with me to the Principal's office for the formalities of joining the college! (They had accompanied me in the rickshaw)
I had the CET board seat allocation chit with me, and after flashing that at the Principal's office and after undergoing the other formalities, we went to Nagraj's Canteen......we had idlis and coffee along with the peon at the principal's office (forgot his name!).....My dad offered him 20Rs for his courtesy for joining us to the canteen!....As a respect, he told me (in front of my dad) to come next day to the college and contact him for any assistance that I may require!...He also told us to go home for that day!....Next day was a sunday. I asked him whether the college will be open the next day!..he replied that Friday is an holiday for AEC!

Dec 5th, 1993
We were still put up in Vaibhav. At around 8 AM, I took a rickshaw again (alone this time, leaving behind parents at the lodge) to the college!
I met that peon, whom we met the earlier day and asked him for the Electrical class. He told me that its in the first floor above Principal's office and also that the class starts at 8:00 AM. I rushed to the class in the first floor, it was 8:15 AM.......I asked the Lecturer's (forgot his name, Maths lecturer - not Ataulla!!!) permisson and the was looking for a place to sit.......class strength was huge (around 120 people)...finally I found a place and warmed it!
I saw next to me on the left, a lean and handsome fellow, with brown eyes sitting!...I said Hello to him....and asked him where he was from!....He said in a typical Malayali accent...that he is from Trivendrum, Kerala. He was none other than Matthew Solomon Mathai!!!!!!
After that class and one more class (don't remember that at all!)...the classes were called off and we were asked to go home and come the next day!
I headed back home(oops..sorry Vaibhav lodge!)......I walked all the way to the entrance to the hill to AEC and in the VRL booking office, Booked 2 tickets for that evening to Bangalore, for my parents and went to lodge.

My dad and mom, in the meantime had talked to Sudhir (receptionist at Vaibhav) and arranged for a small house in Mood Bhatkal. When I went to the lodge, they told me the same and it was time for us to visit my future-house in mood bhatkal. He showed us the house and although the rent was expensive (400Rs PM), my parents were okay with that as they believed some other AECians may join me as promised by Sudhir. He also explained that there are buses from bypass to AEC, when we expressed our concern that the distance is too much to commute daily!.... His comments made us feel a bit good. We asked Sudhir (he was the owner of the house) to get the house cleaned and we went all the way back to Vaibhav and packed our things to come back with our luggage at around 3:00 PM.

So, finally I got my accomadation thing done!...Now, It was time for us to shop!...We went around the stretch from my room to Quality (old one!)..and purchased some utensils and other stuff!..I had to keep track of the route from the room to all the places we went so as to make sure, we reach the room, without any hiccups!!!..I did it very successfully (needless to say!)....
My mom prepared some chapathis and curry that evening and now it was time for them to leave Bhatkal, leaving me alone, high and dry!!!!
That painstaking moment also finally arrived, Sudhir had arranged a rickshaw from my new house to Bhatkal bus stand and back!....I saw-off my parents and came all the way back to my new house in mood bhatkal!....not to mention that I had tears in my eyes. I had never been away from them, uptil that time!!!


Thanks and Regards,
Sudhir V Pudwal

17 days after the New Year blast.....

Guys....

Hope you all had a blast on the new year day..... well its all over now and 2007 is 17 days old so as the new year blast, the party, the resolutions.

I always felt that the good times should have frozen in time and we could have enjoyed that moment of joy forever..... nope this is not the reality as the cruel future becomes the ongoing present and puts a full stop for the moment of joy and pushes it to the past.... thus the past becomes so adorable that we keep going back to our past .... remembering those good old days.... those unforgottable moments..... (I am getting confused myself... lemme stp here talking about past present and the future)

One thing is common with all Bypassians ..... we all are AECians ..... whether we liked our college or not ... its true that we all were there....

Though the blog is to talk about Bypassians and bypass .... its not complete without talking about the our college , Hostel, Mess the TV hall........ the co-education .... so on

We (Most of us) bypassians have spent atleast one to two years in the hostel and had tasted the famous (in-famous) Dal of our mess.

As we talk about bypass there was a parallel world running on the AEC hill at the hostels and we all were a part of that world atleast one's.

I have decided to talk more about the hostel and the college world from now on ... so please do send me your Hostel experiences......

Lets refresh all those College and Hostel memories once again....

To start with ... i am posting the photograph of the 1st 2nd and the 3rd blocks hostel..... this is where most of us started our AEC life....????

In the next Blog I shall start with my first day experience in the college.....

Meanwhile I request you all to share your first days at the college... mail me on somu.sk@gmail.com .... I shall post them on the blog...
