Hooligans

Preface It was on a cold February in 2005 that the hooligans group was formed when it was inaugurated by Sharukh khan when he signed into Yahoo hooligans group to accept the first member. Then nobody in their wildest dreams would have thought that it would turn into a multi billion dollar industry enterprise with stake holders from all parts of the world, Charity Networks in 172 countries and have the goodwill of people all over the world. As we are celebrating the golden jubilee, there is only direction that this group is going right now. More development, more happiness and more love.

Ok.Time for some realty check.Yes, I know February was hot in 2005 and Sharukh Khan has never been anywhere near our college(I mean who would except for us ?).I know ours is not even a multi dollar industry enterprise, we are having trouble starting one Charity Network and the people don’t even know we exist to show their good will. But hey nobody can cage dreams can they? And yes there was always happiness and love

As we celebrate the third year of the groups, ( yes, third year is golden jubilee in Chinese) of this life line of the past memories, I find it amusing that this group is active and each and everyone has contributed in keeping it alive, either by mailing, reading or just being part of this group.

An Idea of a magazine or let’s say new letter detailing on the events that happened last year just popped up one day and must say that had loads of fun collecting all the info on all the events that shaped last year. This year is what we call a trial run and next year this is going to even better. I believe that we all are capable of greater deeds and as a group we have much to conquer. We are all superstars of tomorrow, the stars on earth and there is nothing that is not impossible for us. I wish all the very best in their life where they will shine brightly and hope that We will share this love and warmth in the coming years.

The day when 2005 EC B batch became hooligans

“ hooligans!!!….this is utter derilision” One fateful Kerala Piravi day in our senior year, our HOD stormed into our class, ready to tear us all apart.. the class next to us had got a lot of junis to attend their Kerala piravi party and it didn’t go well with our Hameed Sir. We had nothing to do with it…but somehow the word “hooligans” attained cult status. And stuck with us for the rest of year in college, and we still continue the “legacy” that was bestowed on us. We dedicate this page to the man who bought us all together under this notorious name.. Let the derillisions continue…!!

The year that was.. Another spring morning and one more leaf was shed, the little birds had already flown away from the nest.2007 has fallen off, drifting us all a little more away from our nest. Today we are all forced to fly with the wind and at times carried away so far from the nest, further into the sky, living it up only for that moment, and we tend to forget what happened on our way…Let’s all together have a quick rewind of the journey that we took in 2007… The year started off with good news. Rozeena’s sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl Haya. Its been a very eventful year for Rozeena in a teacher’s role, aunt’s role and a wife’s role later this year. The best and most memorable thing that happened this year was the get together in March. Two years after college, you don’t usually expect 18 friends meeting up anywhere. Cochin sure added charm to the whole proceedings. We met up in marine drive and then headed to Fort Kochi where we went to a cook what you buy hotel. It was one of those special days when you feel really great and proud to be a part of this wonderful family. I guess everybody felt the same. Hooligans were always the best and we are special. I think the whole world will, at some point of time know this and this has already began. Rajesh gave us the hint of things to come when he was awarded to “Huawei Annual award for the best customer support” this year. We all extend our heartiest congratulations to him and hope that hooligans will continue this positive trend. This year also saw lot of people going abroad. In April, Rubin left for Dubai, finally ending up in Doha and Sajana left a little later to join her hubby, once again in Doha. In May, Sakaria left for Dubai. In Sept, Rajesh left for Nepal and Rakesh left for Canada. Talk about hooligan presence!!

In June we had another happy news. Shyni A R gave birth to sweet Sara and it seems the little girl sure is clever as Sakaria mentioned in a mail. She knows a toilet when she sees one. July was a shocker. It kinda shook the whole group. We were to have our first sister in law, Thasni

The culprit was none other than Sakaria, who had just joined Sahara computers in Dubai. It was soon followed by the engagement ceremony in Qatar. With a slated marriage in July 2008, Hooligans will have the first guy with 2 rings: wedding ring and suffering. July also saw our Fort kochi mathee Zaman returning to India. We had a small get together in Bangalore with Rahul, Rajesh, Zaman, Pravin, Nisha and Vipin. Vipin once again proved that nobody can beat him in mandatharams .Way to go Mani!! We had the first wedding of the year, when Rozeena tied the knot with Tinu in August 26th in Kodungalloor. We had a lot of hooligans for the function and they had a small gettogether in Eriyad beach after that. I think Romila summed it up nicely in her mail. Take a look….

“it was a great get together at muncipal town hall kodungallur... for rozeena's wedding. she was look'g very pretty in her pink saree.....hubby and roz ..a perfect match!!!! me rubeena, Semi,Nisha,sajana,unaiz superman, sulfi,mani, rakesh,rajesh,rahul.ns ......sorry one important personality is missing none other than rayyan were present .rayyan, he was crying on seeing his mamas.later when he saw rahul pr he was ok..even kids like superman!!!!! most surprising thing was nobody has changed....semi..has become more thinner and rahul ns's hair has gone very badly ...better go for gulfgate rahul . kesh jesh okke athupoleththanne.mani onnumkoodi neelam vacho atho naan kurancho ennariyilla..sulfikk a kurachu ksheenichuour isha, when she got bored in accenture she took a scissor and cut her hair ..she look more cute now. Sajana came with her father in law and she has to go fast so she is not there in photos..inshah allah she 'll be going to qatar by next week… ottakam has come with her new colourful umbrella u all can see in the photos....anyway rayyan liked it very much budhi yurakkatha kuttiyalle. he was busy play'g with that.. mani came straight to dining hall but he was very late nammude sulfi okke clean aakki!!!! they all 've gone to see Eriyad munnambam beach” And Eriyad beach was more fun as the pictures show us.Another great gettogether We had!!

In September, Shyni announced her engagement to Nawas and hooligans were set to attend another wedding soon enough. September also witnessed India winning the 20-20 World Cup after a lot of speculations and catfight. Hooligans has been unlucky with love in college, until Rubeena broke the jinx by announcing that her Uppa finally gave the go ahead for her marriage with Nivin. This news was well received with lot of happiness by the Hooligans. Another good news that welcomed us in September was the birth of Marwan, born to Shebna and Anush. We remembered October 18th, the day we got together 6 years ago in a classroom in MES College of engineering and we believe things were never the same after that….Again in October, Shanoob’s Sister got married on the 20th. Each one of the hooligans are blessed with kindness and although serving the society has been thought of or practiced individually, in November, Rubin came up with the lovely idea of jointly reaching out to the needy around us. This thought has got the hooligans planning together and making the O2MAC (Out 2 Make A Change) happen. It was an idea that we all felt was necessary, and this sure brought about a lot of debates regarding it’s working and methods. But by November end things began to go out of hand with a lot of word warfares waged and by November end the whole idea was stalled. A cold December followed, only to lighten up a little bit with the news of our chirikkudukka Sumi’s other half Sunitha’s wedding the coming month, Sherin’s engagement and Shyni’s marriage on 16th. We got some unexpected mails this year starting with Arun and Sebastian who sent one each in March after a long time. Shijas was the next surprise when he sent a mail in October. Theju returned back to the group with her unique style of writing. Soumya who had gone missing for a while, returned with a mail only to go missing again. Let’s hope that this year we will have more surprises!!

January saw the revival of O2MAC thanks to the initiative by Pravin, Rakesh and Sakaria coupled with fact that Rajesh returned back to India to take charge of things. Let’s hope that next year O2MAC will come into full swing. Rakesh launched a website www.indiavision.info focusing on the trends on India’s development on Jan 21st.We wish him all the best on his Endeavour. Last, but not the least, I must mention the most important guy of the hooligans. Our dearest Appachan…!! As we all know, Appachan is right now working in BOSCH in Bangalore. Last heard,Ammachi was expecting!! Further news is yet to come as Appachan was not available in his number.

That sums up the year 2007 and let the new year bring new hopes and aspiration and more get-togethers!! Chao!!

The Number Game Well numbers don’t mean much in our group, but still It is impossible to write an annual report without some facts and figures. The total number of mails that we received this year (Feb 07- Jan 08) is 443, which means that on an average, there was almost 40 mails per month. After a very sleepy start in February with just 8 mails, it sure did pickup, thanks to the euphoria created by the get together in March which ended up with 56 mails. Then things again slowed down till August where it hit the roof at 60 mails. The trend continued in September when it surpassed the August mark at 69 .It went down a little in October but to pick again in November to rise up to 69 again. December saw a slump down at 25 mails and the year finally closed at a slightly better figure of 39. Mailing in 2007

Hooligans of Heaven We never knew we were in heaven And when we knew, we were far away Did we not try to stay within? Did we feel the world outside better? Though a small world less than fifty We had more than what we dreamt Little did we know, we were the best, Little did we know, the joy we gave the rest Now here I am, with a sinking heart Looking through the eyes, tear filled In the midst of the maddening crowd Loads to bear, and none to share I felt the people around, lame puppets they were, Actors! They played their roles Only the setting sun, the scarred moon and fading stars Gave company in this universe expanse Watching the waves, I sat in the beach My tears and waves became one, I knew I was left out from the flock From those who helped me fly above. Waves washing my feet, I closed ma eyes Saw those days we laughed, open heart Some helpless cries with a broken heart All the glorious fun we had All we wanted was, smiling faces With no one walking alone, with a heavy heart Always a hand there to pat, a shoulder to lean Laughs or cries, good or bad, were always shared Every heart beat felt and all eyes read, Nothing to hide and nothing to fear, Gone are those days of many a magnificent year, Gone, are the friends, now nowhere near. But memories are still the divine song, Those soft melodies of the years gone, God! I wish I was once again born, Just to be there once more, feel the happiness I once wore. Sakaria Kunhabdullah
