Bethanians Galore Part 4

After another long hiatus, I am back.....this time to refresh on the earlier started series...still a lot of 'characters' to cover!!


Sowji
=====
When I first met this guy, I remember thinking : there is no way anyone can be as thin as this and still survive!!...Ofcourse this was before meeting Kiron :P


Also the name...I was sure I hadn't heard correctly...Its gotta be Soji or something...but no it was Sowji alright...


Okay First time I met this guy: he started out with a story...a long winding tale...went on and on and on.... :)) Thats Sowji foryou...He will take even the most drab boring event and make a story out of it...filled with lots of masala ofcourse! :)


Sowji was and still is a very innocent character but there was no shortage of pranks or mischevious ideas brewing in that head ofhis....one incident still fresh in my mind even though its close to 7 years since this happened!...the eve of April fools day..all sorts of pranks happening around us...we were on the prowl looking for someone to 'get'...the unfortunate and unsuspecting victim was my then roommate Sho aka Shobin :D (read previous posts for details on Sho)...this guy was supposed to leave for his home the next day...me and Sowji hatched the plot together...what do we do...ofcourse we came up with the perfect plan...Sho put his alarm at around after 4:00 AM so he could catch the first bus home early morning...What did we do? As soon as Sho slept, we turned forward the time and made the 4:00 AM alarm ring at sometime after 12:00 midnight....Sho ofcourse unsuspecting...got up and went about his business of preparing to go home...brushed teeth and got ready...all the time Sho was looking out for pranks that we could have sprung on him....still unsuspecting that we had gone for something like this...Sho all ready and packed got out andstarted walking for the bus stop...finally we told him the truth...boy he was so mad at Sow(and me the roomie - you too Brutus!!!) at the time...we had a tough time getting him back to the hostel...that was Sow for you...mastermind behind such elaborate schemes like this...


Me and Sow have had lots of fun experiences together....We also took a mess together...me Sow and Sand...which was probably one of the best of bethany...(KK, Dipu Rat etc ippo thallum :)) )


Anyways...one thing that Sow used to overdo was his temper which used to explode at times..especially during high tension times ofthe exams...this guy was one fellow who used to take his studies very seriously...infact in the beginning there was some sort of unofficial competition on who would get the highest sessional marks :D (of which I was least bothered!)


I remember a 'slipper fight' that Sow had with Gasper and Dennis in the front of the Bethany hostel...I dont remember the details except that Sowji was very mad about something(obviously we were making fun of him with some girl :)) ) and slippers were being thrown around...Dennis machan and Goosper were being chased around the courtyard and so on... :P...fun times....


Well I guess Sowji has matured from there...and he says that he now has his temper under control :D


Always a great friend...always a great storyteller and fun to be with(slipper throwing included :D)...Thats Sowji for you!
