Gilma Gang was not formed (officially).
To start with there were 6 school friends who stayed in HVF Quarters, Avadi, Chennai - 54
They belonged to different lingual communities.
But shared the same attitude - aptitude to enjoy life. With whatever limited means they had...
Shankar Lal (Rotti)
N.V. Suresh Kumar ( kulla)
Parthasarathy (Raja)
Baliaha (Drunken Monk)
Ramesh ( Bokkil - the eating machine)
Binu Soman ( dhadia)
It all started in 1989. I remember the day so well.
It was my first Exams of Xth Std. Boards - English
I had just stepped out from my house enroute to the examination centre ( KV.HVF)
I saw a fellow going with a "pad" towards the school. In my nervousnous, I asked him
"padichiya" ( have you studied). he just smiled at me. I did not understand at that time.
Now I am able to understand, he was BLANK. This was my first meeting with N.V. SURESHKUMAR
