For all those who were day scholars and used the college bus to commute...here's some interesting news. The bus, (buses, if one includes the small, net-windowed, police vehicle lookalike), usually follows the OldBus stand to Vincent to Hasthampatti to Five Roads enroute College. As far as I know, this has been the route. This academic year, the route will be Five Roads to Four Roads to Ramakrishna Park to Hasthampatti to Old Bus Stand to College.
I love the bus ride...it is comfortable and one can listen to Periannan's favourite songs, especially the sad songs he likes playing on Fridays and reach college without having to hang on to the over crowded, bursting at the seams Omalur buses which test one's dexterity in hanging on to the bars or the hands-free Vadivel type acrobatics ( I swear, one of these days, on KPR, (No.19) I will go flying out through his glass pane, cos of his favourite habit of applying the most powerful brakes).

Hurray College bus rocks alias naai vandi..

But i believe more people will be coming from hastampatti and vincent. There will be a bit of trouble for them for sure.

Gopi, 'naai vandi'? Well, I think that is the name students have given this other bus of GCE. In fact, I've seen students not getting into the bus, because their peers from other colleges would tease them. Ha..ha..ha.

We around 10 guys were regular passengers for our buses. Even though there used to be various comments for traveling in our bus, we loved those precious moments.

We never reached the bus on time. We had to chase the bus and finally we were the ones to win the race.

Kudos to Naai Vandi. I hope i will get one more chance to travel in it.
