It was farewell day... One of the much awaited days for us 3rd years to bid a warm and happy farewell to our lovable seniors.. The preparations were on from even a fortnight before with both the guyz and galz working in full swing in tandem while the author was busy with cricket and other all unimportant activities(Sorry for tht).. A beautiful invitation Siragugal 07 stands testimony to the great success of the farewell day function.. It was a day when each and everything touched turned gold... There was the absence of the customary mokkai vaangudhal of events,... All seniors thoroughly enjoyed the events with great enthusiasm...

The day started with the customary mokkai oops... This time it was short though(15 minutes only).. by our principal.. Compereing was done one final time by Peter... The customary speech by our own friends.. With mixed emotions obviously.. Sorry couldnt remember who all spoke.. Kavin, Mahesh, Prasi, Venkat, Deepa and thats it i think...Poor memory... Our own HOD madam(Godmother) spoke a few words which was also not as nonchalant as it would usually be...Maybe a tiny twitch somewhere in the heart for having gonna miss our seniors...She also told about some role models that we hav to follow like Venkat, Suraj, Kailash, Vijay Babu etc...Thn there was the bharatnatyam dance performance by Ramya.. I think that was one energetic dance performance cos she danced to some really fast paced music unlike the usual thakita thaka thimi... Enough of the morning events... Cos i couldnt remember any more..

I dunno much about what happened in the thanks giving ceremony bcos we were busy in practising for er... er.. Counter strike...But the galz were working very hard in the lab..

The most awaited session was the evening session and it turned out to be the toast of the day.. The evening events were compered by Kavin(please sir).. It was supposed to be a peter free evening.. And i think she tried hard to stick on to it but in vain..Thts ok.. Starting with the superb fusion dance performance by our senior galz... I dont know some of their names... I think some of the akkas who danced were Manjusha, Vyjayanthi, Vino chandrika, Divya keerthi, Ramya(again but western this time.. All rounder pola!!), Archana, Rajeshwari and Dhivya Teja Swaroop...
The songs and their dance literally made the audience to dance and whistle as well..

After that scintillating dance performance, there was this group singing performance done by gaja, ragavendran and bala(2nd year).. This group of 3 sang the june ponal song so well that even the audience started singing along with them... Dint miss a single note and the relaxed way of singing stole everyone's hearts..




Then, came another rocking dance performance headed by Kudi... Kudi, bala(2nd yr), Shamshad and another guy(sorry da.. I dunno ur name) put the dance floors on fire with their hip hop rocking dance numbers.. This was followed by the much awaited Comp Sci Star Awards..This event was a collective effort of our dept 3rd yr galz headed by yakka... I cannot name all those involved as it is a looong looong list.. U can call the team as padips team in short...And it turned out to be a big hit amongst the seniors..

And that was it for the Awards function.. This was i think the one thing that made our dept farewell stand apart from other farewell... Good idea by our dept padips team... This event was followed by our Variety show which was given a huge build-up by Kavin..
This was by far, our shortest performance...
But I hope the audience liked it.. Commendable acting by samba and boobu and the evergreen voice of our thala mahesh got us through the event.. Everyone did their part well apart from some minor flaws... Then, this was followed by the Games show conducted by the galz team again... Another interesting event... This event was swept out and out by the guyz... Some notable winners including Senthil Boopathy(smooch stamp), Sudharshan(Butt Baloon Blasting), Bright Kumar and some more..


The game show was interrupted by the Damn Disciplinarian Dhadha Balu along with the duck vaayan... The games event was cut short much to the dismay of the creators and the audience..
Then, Venkat and co sang the customary Musthafa song which stands as a token of friendship.. Although it started dully, it gained the emotions of all audience and suddenly the whole auditorium was singing and clapping.. Even the author was singing involvedly... That was the end of the Farewell ceremony with only the dinner to follow... And there was this farewell mood that had caught up with seniors who were taking group photos... Some were happily bidding good bye while some were parting with tears...

Dinner comprised of Chola puri, Gulab jamun, Veg Briyani, Smbar sadham(yuck!!!), Curd rice and naarthanga pickle on the vegetarian side... On the NV side, it was the life of 85 hens all the way... Chicken 65, Chicken gravy and so on... Then, the ice cream and fruit salad( papaya salad actually) to end the day.. The author apart from eating also served(For the 1st time!!! Naanum velai seyyarena??)... Meanwhile, Godmother called the 3rd years and thanked us and also praised us that we were the best batch she ever had sfter 1999 and she began to talk about some sentiments for which our thala Mahesh felt too much and started shedding tears.. Dint even hav his dinner... Romba feel pannan...The author tried to console but in vain...Then, to avoid sentiments, he joined us in the serving committee... Oops!! I think i forgot something... Ya... It was the gift given to the seniors as a token of love and affection.. It was a collage comprising of all the photos of the seniors which would stay forever..
The author gives a commendable applause for the person/persons behind this idea... All seniors were very very very very happy with the gift.... Then the author boarded the Nanganallur bus in which there was semma koothu amidst dance and singing performance by our senior galz and our own kudi, raja and co...
After that the author boarded a M18 and was accompanied by good ol' seniors Aravind(Cute Couple award winner) and Prabhu.. A day to remember... Farewell day---> A day of mixed emotions...
