Gulping down breakfast after a quick shower, you put on your denims, a cool shirt, freshened with some deodorant and leave for college, speeding along the road. At the parking you give yourself a final look and set your hair in the rear-view mirror. Then you enter your class after meeting some friends, 15 minutes after the lecture has begun. You select bench behind a huge and tall guy and patiently wait only to sign the attendance sheet.
Almost all students keep gazing at the professor but with their minds somewhere down in the canteen or at the door, waiting for `that someone' to come or thinking of that special appointment you have on that day. There are a handful of sincere first-bench-students, who attend each and every lecture and have all the detailed notes, which the outstanding students, (students who are always standing out especially apvp,me,ratish,ganesh pai,roshan,harshal,etc) can photocopy . Joking and gossiping from behind your book or playing sudoku in the most boring lecture during which half the class is already snoring(roshan and ganva), were some of the methods adopted to kill time. By the end of the lecture, everyone is restless and keeps glancing at their watches, slamming books and dropping bags. The professor mercilessly continues teaching and phattu saying"meri phat rahi hai yaar".
Submissions is the only time you get to see all your classmates, who are those familiar faces that As soon as 12:45pm occurs on watch and everyone is out of the class, meeting friends on the foyer, in the canteen , to sip a nice hot cup of coffee, drooling over your amour beau or belle, exchanging secret smiles and then telling your friends of your latest bakras. The thrill of bunking lectures, the fun of partying or going for movies and picnics, the joy when you see all time bakras rns,harshal,ratish,vp,roshan,rathor,etc getting caught, or the embarrassment of facing the person you were talking about, who all the while was standing just beside you, are truly unforgettable times.
Who can forget the numerous pranks we played. The first time apvp screwed us,the entertainers rathor,ratish ,vp,roshan,vishal kasi and vaibhav.The naughty smiles(specially ankit), the comments of friends, passing your critical opinion of those you envied and hated. The taste of tears when you lost your friends, the heartache when you were ditched and dumped.The moment when when we heared ankit getting drop and everybody getting restless. These are moments that can make emotions flow at any time in life..
The Traditional day and gathering, are the most awaited days in the college when every boy and girl `dress-to-kill' and have a gala time. Hey! don't forget JAM sessions for expressing our feelings.
And now, talking of our teachers who scream their lungs out to fill something in our empty upper chambers and help us fill that white sheet of paper with those black lines which we get somewhere around March-April. And what do we say about them;
``Arey, kya padha rahi hain?''
``Bahoot bore karti hain!''
``Sir ko to seekhana hee nahin aata hai!'' or just keep commenting on the way they look, dress or talk.
I will never forget my college years, they have been the best years in my life till now. I have seen, learnt and experienced so much.
I have found friends, some didn't care and drifted apart. I will always remember my favourite place in college, my professors, the canteen coffee, all my friends, those innocent and decent faces of people(ap,vp) who turned out to be devils in disguise. All the twists in the kaleidoscope of life are experiences that have helped me mature. I will cherish them forever.
So enjoy your college life because these moments will never come again.
Don't be the cause of embarrassment, shame and disgrace to ALL. At least make an effort to stand-up somewhere close to their expectations and trust. Remember just a few moments can ruin your entire future and relationships.
One has to keep a fine balance. Enjoy yourself while in college, but remember there is a reason to be in college. The next 30 to 40 years of your life will shape up on the basis of how your spend your time in college.
