The AnDePRin Saga

Once upon a time in the remotest corner of civilization possible, lived four good friends in what was called the Ladies Hostel or LH for short. These girls were Ann, De, Pri & Rin and one night all four racked their brains to think what their group should be called before they passed out from college when they decided on AnDePRin. Also sardonically called as The Cough Syrup company by Ms. De, of which all girls were the primary stake holders!

And so, all four members of AnDePRin parted after the short 4 years in REC Calicut where they spent more time solving their personal problems than engineering sums of computer or electrical nature. They not only took along with them a new approach to life as intelligent women but also some memories that would probably last them a life time or more.

These girls laughed together (a lot) much to the bewilderment of other open mouthed, gaping mand-buddhis/doofuses who passed off as their college mates. They told each other all their troubles and shared advices as of what to do next & how and basically played each other’s Oprah to the hilt.

All four would exchange Calvin & Hobbes, Asterix & Obelix, Tintin and a thousand other novels borrowed from Eloor library in town. Someone amongst the four also used to read Photoromance mags but I dont remember now who!

They even wrote anonymous, sarcastic letters against supposed authorities over despotic issues and had them pasted all over campus courtesy of one boyfriend who did quite a thorough job, as everyone in college observed the next day.

They went for movies to the only English theatre in town, against undesired, creepy attention of all leering, drooling males who probably never saw a female in their stupid life ever before. They survived a kleptomaniac & major bitch whose shenanigans would require another whole post dedicated in the harrowing memory…

The AnDePRin members are now succesful women in their own respective fields. Who would have thought that friendships made over puttu-breakfast & cream rolls for tea would last a lifetime. AnDePRin lives on through electronic mail & memories from a sleepy placed called Calicut. The LH couldnt have boasted of better inmates and sooner or later, someone will have to remind it of this fact!
