A tryst down college lane
As i set foot in the ramparts of my college after nearly 2 1/2 years, a gust of emotions flooded my inner self..Those days when I used to bunk classes to have "patti"(for the uninuntiated, patti is what we call tea or "chaya" in civilized parlance)with my friends..6 of us constituted "Anda GT"(u can very well guess why we were called so!!) used to idle away time at Meghnath's "Khokha"(a poorer cousin of Punjabi dhabas) or "Appollo" canteen(God knows how it got its name!!)..
The only constant in this world is "Change"..and the college has indeed undergone a sea change for the good..campus selections at RECK(Perhaps,I should call it NITK now) have improved drastically..work gets done pretty fast now..Infrastructure has improved..new GH has been constructed next to Appolli (what else could it have been!!)..I always wonder why always new hostels are built only for girls! There's a new ATM, a new library,a new Computer Engg department with its own HOD and lots of new bikes roaming in front of GH.
How can I forget the college festivals..it was one domain in which I was an active participant.The "pangas" that were the norm in these fests..cursing the college over cups of sponsored patti,haggling over committees which had the highest number of "maals",ogling hot new chicks that seemed to drop from heaven into our college(I always wonder why there are more beautiful girls in other colleges except the one in which you study)..This reminds me of one beautiful anecdote by one of my seniors which I'd like to share.It states that there are only two types of girls in this world, one who are beautiful and the other who are very beautiful.
Sadly,all this has been brought to an abrupt stop because of rising incidents of student names either figuring in hospital emergencies or in FIRs.
I can continue writing endlessly..but I better don't bore my faithful readers more..Moreover, I have one of those really damn boring,f%^king meetings (meetings are bullsh**,but u can idle away your busy time giving your valuable comments on a topic of which u have not even the most remote idea).
Take care.Am signing off for now..
