I READ THE ARTICLE WRITTEN BY A PASSED OUT STUDENT….AND I TOT OF LUKIN IT FROM ANOTHER ANGLE ..THE WAY THE COLL SEEMS TO A NEW COMER…
“Hmm…what a well conditioned road “,,,,these were de 1st words…that flagged of my 1st visit to the great institution…”SBCE”….pretty optimistic….
Yeah ,,, walking through the dusty narrow road…what was there in my mind,,,I still cannot remember…was it enthusiasm or was it excitement and fear….no clue….
“cool,,,, mummy ..what a location”….these were the exact words that sprang upon my tongue as soon as I caught a glimpse of the building…which was going to be my home away from home for the next 4 yrs……….When I first stepped in …I neither clutched my mother’s hand with fear ,,nor had a water bottle around my neck …AFTER ALL I WAS GOING TO A COLLEGE ……the mere thought of that was exhilarating…
“rule no 1: don’t open your mouth and let your tongue loose…2..always respect your seniors…3….””the list of do’s and dont’s my cousin laid out before me the previous night…..just rolled into my mind like a black n white movie…..My eyes were so restless ,,darting here and there…searching for a familiar face….Ahhh….there at last….i perceived a bunch of ma alma maters……so no tension……..it was time to be freebirds…..We got enrolled in the college….It never occurred to me as unfamiliar…coz there were lots of faces so known to me…
The first day at the college was another experience…In the morning the parents had a meeting……..and we were all taken to our respective classes……..
The first look itself gave birth to a million questions. ” How is my life going to be? Will there be fun?? Will I be able to make good friends?????………..””……..million questions and zero answers………… BRILLIANT WORK BY THE BRAIN…..
A s soon as we got seated,,,, a teacher came to take our attendance…….THE MARK OF OUR DEBUT…..what are we supposed to do ….then there was the normal introductions… I tried to be Einstein ,,,trying to learn the names of as many students as I can……….but ended up being myself ..learning the names of the foursome in the neighboring bench…in addition to the ones sitting with me….who were of course my high school friends……
This is where I’m going to be seated this year……to be the one in the sixty……is college a downhill ride///////////……….still confusions,,,,,,,,,
Bored ,,,,, I tried to find myself a way to spend my time…that was when I found the most interesting hobby………archaeology…yup……..we all engrossed ourselves in reading the funny things scribbled all over the desks…..there were poets almost as good as Keats ((its purely my judgement))…..philosophers……..broken hearts……..it was fun……I’m going to be the followers of these great people……KOOLLL!!!!!
During the first few days……the sound of the bell was like a siren………afterwards it became a part of my life………initially the whole college was a crossward puzzle……..holding lots within………now it has become a part of me……..when there are classes ,,,often I wish there were more parties in this country,,,,,,,,to call strikes………I feel too lazy to go back to college after holidays……….still when I come to the college……..its entirely a new world….filled with laughter,,,fun…..,,occasional tares,,,,,,,,and impositions……its just a different world……
