Barely a month into third year, and that feeling of "damn, is college really gonna be over so soon?" has already started creeping on to us. And the feeling sucks. It's amazing how quickly time flies by when you actually want it to freeze.... but okay, we won't go into any of that depressing stuff now. Soppy weepy "I miss college" entries will be put up later. The genesis of this post took place one lazy afternoon (three days ago) when nostalgia - which should ideally have been reserved for the Farewell week - started flooding us all of a sudden.
And we began planning our 2026 reunion. Twenty years later & all that, y'know. And began speculating who would be doing what, doing whom, and doing how well in life. Well, here it is, our speculations out in the open.
--- Quick background info ---
Date: Aug 4-5, 2006
Venue: Day 1 - Nirula's. Day 2 - College canteen.
Speculators: Amiya, Harpreet, Ishani, Jayant, Neha, Vidur (and Richa, on day 2).

--------Okay, just for the record, coming up with great enough questions isn't easy. While this entry only lists some of the more interesting Qs, there were also many that we came up with... then chucked. Sample this:
Jayant: Hmm... Do you think Amiya will have written a book by then?
Ami & Ishani: Dude, will YOU have written a book by then?!
(For those who don't know, Jay's the writer amongst us)
Vidur (thoughtfully): Do you think I will have read a book by then?
And if you happen to know Vidur, you're expected to drop dead laughing here, right here.
--------
Now back to our questions.
Q: How does everyone see everyone else’s future spouse/partner?
Q: What’s the wildest thing everyone SEES others as having done by then?
[ To quote Jayant, so around the time we're all 30, you'll mostly see Vidur naked. ]
Q: And what’s the wildest thing they probably WOULD have done (for real)?
There. This entry shall go up on the net as our final speculation on each other's future, and our 2026 reunion shall reward all those whose guesses came closest to the reality. May the best guesser win.

ME FIRST!! YAYYYYYYYY
Okay, I see that you three got the same posts on your blogs. Some hard work, creating those tables. Actually it's a good idea, and maybe next year, we'll do it too. I'll just pick it up from you blog, the questions. Okay, okay, I'll pay you a royalty. Fine?
But the answers were hilarious, a lot of them. Had read a bit about this conversation on Richa's blog but it wasn't as comprehensive.
An immensely enjoyable post and something that I'll certainly read all over again over the weekend. Keep rocking, you guys!
Here I go copy-paste this to the other two blogs. Camaraderie, eh!
Don't know what to say guys. I just wish i had been there. :-(
It'd be so much fun even if half of it comes true.
Tarun
P.S. I can't read those tables.
*cough* Let me paste what I posted on Jayant's :P
When I read the same post on Amiya's, I came here looking for a similar post...but err....BANG! It's the magic of copy-paste. :O
It reminds me of the even dumber times we do all this in college. Funny and embarrassing. :D
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the other posts on this page... Pretty cool!
hey...
nice post i must say... a very innovative idea!! congratulations to the six of you for coming up with such an amazing idea!

his name should've been there right at the top!
ok,apologies for the delay in the comment.
i wish i was there on day 1 too. :(( fuck the humidity that makes me soooo irritable. i had no patience to stick around any longer.
but i would still like to see how much of it comes out to be true in 2026.
cheers to all of us!!
NOTHING in this world can be compared to the fun we had that day! and such a mixture of emotions..just a plain WOW and cheers to our friendship (the proud gang of 6)!
and the idea of posting this was great, who was it btw to come up with it??
Too bad that no one sees me with a sexy spouse!:( But what the heck, i'll be the one to have maximum chances of extra-marital affairs so i can count on those others :D
And our two great writers would probably have written a series of books by then!
Imagine vidur writing a book!:p
Anyway,great post! now everytime i feel sad or whenevr that i-feel-so-alone type feeling creeps in,the first thing i am gonna do is read this!
And my other two blogger friends are supposed to comment as well :X
