A Supernovan Farewell !!!

Date : 26th April
Venue : Pandiyan Hotel

Every Great thing becomes better with the way it ends

The day had finally arrived and 52 of us of the total 70 could make it to the hotel where a conference hall was booked for the final send off. The day kicked off in an ordinary fashion with people scattered around the hall filling up AG notes and having a private chat with their own gangs. Sethu, who had the whole day planned out was calling up the register numbers to divide the whole class into teams of five. The whole class was sitting in groups with a table and that gave a classy look.

The first thing was singing competition, where one from every team had to take the mike and sing. Suresh started with 3 songs from Tamil, English and Hindi which was adjudged as the winning performance by the judges. Next was I, Shriram Narayan and I made use of the mike in my own way and did not bore the people. Then Vinoth Babu came up and ended his desire of singing before the class. Virasundarii's song which impressed Ramji was heard once more, one last time(hopefully) and finally the trio of Sabrish, Prasanth and Sivagurunathan made an entertaining attempt with their remix of a classic.

The next item on the itenary was Dumb Charads which also was a hit. The only thing I will never forget is how Sriram could not act out Ayan by showing Iron Box. My mind voice read, "Ithellam kalyanam panni enna than panna pogutho". Rajkumar again proved he was the best in Dumb C and others too fared well.

It was time for lunch and the menu was rather good for the occasion and people were having a nice time with four girls using the oppurtunity to take the mike and singing songs and dedicating each one to a particular person. That ended and soft music was on for the whole lunch session.

The post lunch session started with girls and guys telling what they liked and disliked in the others and it was a slow start yet good. Then we moved on to the classic Q&A session where everyone took up the mike and people like Rajkumar and Prasanth were under some serious fire. The girls too did participate in equal amount and it was great fun.

The time crossed 5 30 and we were told, the time limit had been reached. But none of us wanted to leave. Everyone on some point was at the mike, so each and everyone would carry a pleasant memory with him/her. At the end, Sethu took the mike and started like, "This is it, no more come on da boy !!!, no more Kanna laddu thina aasaya !!" and he was not able to continue and we knew it was time. We left the hall with a soft tune of our theme song which we suttufied from Ayan's title playing on the dying moments of what was a wonderful day.



We assembled at the entrance of the hotel and started taking group photos. People were taking photos with their close ones, their lab batchmates and it was evident in everyone's face that everyone wanted some reason, any reason no matter how silly it was, to stay there some more time. Every girl walked up to every guy and let them knew that they were vacating tomorrow or the day after and guys did the same.



We could have not asked for a better send off. Four years of fun had a perfect finish. We will not miss Madurai, Madurai will miss us.

Some Classic Moments :

.) Sethu's plan for the day
.) Suresh's "itha na solliye aaganum" speeches
.) Girls like Shenbagaveni and Vimala who are supposed to be shy making full use of the mike
.) Nivas' running comments
.) The theme song in the end (yes, I had to mention it again)
.) The final Group photos
.) Some girls and even boys going down in tears
.) Every1 taking up the mike
.) Virasundarii's R-E-M-O
.) Girls singing in Lunch
.) DJ Pauldurai
.) Csk Vs MI during lunch
.) Filling up AGs
.) "I ll miss u all" by literally every one who took the mike
.) Saranya calling Raghuram as Thambi :(
.) Every second of the whole day

Now that everyone has left and there is nothing to do, all that we could do is hope we will meet sometime in future and everyone remembers the four years we had been through. We did miss the 18 who could not make it.
