Never Ending start
Hmm..so this is my first post eh! How do I make it interesting??
Do I write about my childhood? or do I write about how I wasted my 21 years nd 151 days ? or do I write about the future ? Hey, what future am I talking about? Mine or the future in genreal?
Hmm how about my college life?
Its May 1999, few days after our 10th results were out. I was one among those thousands of students, who dreamed of getting into one of the top institutes for engg. in India. Am I talking about Eye-Eye-Tee s by any chance?? May be..
With enough support from parents, managed to join 11th in one of those corporate colleges, names of which can be seen in newspapers daily, giving the exact count of ranks that each college has got in various entrance exams. Is it the students who got the ranks or the college?? I have no idea about that. I did manag to get some reasonable % discount on those heavy fee that I had to pay. The main reason why my parents( rather any parent who expects a good rate of return from his child's education) put me in a corporate college is quite obvious. Even if I dont read well to get thro any of the top engg. colleges, the college people will make sure that I somehow will end up getting high percentage in 11th and 12th, which will fetch me a seat in ...hmm I donno the name of the insti that well guys..BYTES or BITES . Forget it..I know you got it. hehe.
So first few days in college were quite normal, with classrooms fully packed and not even two classes per day being completed as scheduled. But who said I did not have fun. Hmm ours was a only guys college..then how did I have fun? hehe..there was one hostel just beside our coll building, where lot of lady-birds(hmm bi-cycles or wat???hehe) can be found. Duration of our lunch break was more than the combined duration of two classes. We used to get lunch boxes from home with nothing otherthan curdrice and pickle(seriously only thatmuch everyday) inside. What else do you expect to be inside, when the college actually begins as early as 7a.m in the morning? Lunch break is one time when you can actually go around all the city and come back. Even after that you get good time to sleep. None of my friends, including me had the nod from parents to take two-wheelers to college. I had one cycle though, BSA SLR, for which I was the sole owner and had every right on it. So all of us used to take bus daily to commute to college. The five to ten minutes journey in bus is one more wonderful thing which comes back into our minds every night. There is this billiards club, which is just a few minutes walk away from our college. So, every lunch break - go in there and have some fun, be there till its time we get to see all the lady-birds together. And after lunch break, we never used to have any classes happening, so just sleep for sometime and spend rest of the time worrying about whats happening? Is this all I needed to enter Eye-Eye-Tee s?? Am I in the right place?? What do I do?? How do things get better??
Let me stop with this, as this is my first post. More to be continued...(Am I using the tele-serials funda or wat??)
