The Kalathipady Bus Stand-The Hip and Happening place of Kottayam!!!

Well...unlike kochi or gurgaon or dubai or any human habitable place....kottayam doesnt exactly have a mall ...yea..i know..im going over my head with expecting a mall and all...when we don't even have something uncomplicated as a coffee shop ...so..in such a pathetic...(i know..im still understating it..)..town like kottayam..there aren't exactly places where we teenagers can "hangout"..or "chill"..or whatever the word is nowadays..(sitting idle at home has kinda got me out of touch with reality..:/..)

I'm not saying kottyam is boring....(actually..that's exactly what I'm trying to say!!!) ...but it ain't ur fault..ur trying ur best...it's us..the people...however u try to make tthis as mordern as u can..we just..i dunno why...just run off to kochi to shop!!!we can't help it...we're just human...the grass is always greener on the other side....:(...

anyways...coming back to the subject I'm discussing abt.."The Kalathipady Bus Stand"...well..i don't think all u Kottayam people know where this particular spot might be...u know what...we should have a name...u know...us..the kottayam people...hmm..what abt the KTMites???okay..i might be getting a little carried away..cause that makes us sound like bugs or something that needs to be exterminated...pronto!!!!oh !!there i go..again..totally off topic...this time Im back for good!!"The Kalathipady Bus Stand"!!!hmmm...as the name suggests ..its in kalthilpady..and its a bus stand..i know..it doesnt seem interesting ...at all!!!..but trust me..if ur new in town...this is the place to be!!!!!!

I mean..this is where everything happens!!!!I remember the inter school fights ..usually between the Marians and  the Girideepams...I actually never understood the purpose of the fights..especially when the Girideepams always won..always!!!we just went to get our arses kicked!!!Of the very few of these battles that I have witnessed...it's always been like this..the Girideepams riding off on their bikes..(that are soo not cool...their basically just bullets with their silencers cut off or sumthing..)...and well..the Marians..walking off with black eyes and broken bones..

well..other than these much-publicized fights...a lot of stuff happens...there are the ever so famous proposals or the just really creepy stalking incidents ....its the place that listens to all our secrets and keeps them locked up!! all..the gossips..if u just keep one ear open..this is wat u'll hear.."OMG !!did u hear abt wat asheley did???she proposed Mark and he's like no??and i was like OMG!!how could she????the nerve she's got!!!!" or "Did u know how Gayathri aced the test???she cheated!!!she copied off my paper!!!I mean..how dare she???" and stuff like that...and then..there are the ever so interesting water fights..glitter fights and the cat fights!!!!

So this is all I can say...you gotta be there to actually be there..:)...I mean ..the noise ..the aroma..(of sweaty kids..)....the feel of that wave of wind mainly filled with sweat..spit and a lot of things i rather not mention...the adrenalin rush that u get when u jump into buses which already has people's body parts sticking out...but what I'm trying to say ..is ..it was one place that held a lot of memories for me and I'm sure for a lot of other people as well...it was like a part of school...and well..maybe a part of life...:)..
