Do i miss college??It's something i ask myself very often.And i end up like 'nah,college sucked anyway..nothin really special to cherish'..and then i have an inner voice saying,'heyy,but what about the classes you bunked,the iv's you enjoyed to the core(with a capital C),the friends who were there for u all along,all the excuses u said to get out of class:P Maybe in a teeny weeny i do!lLet me analyse;maybe rewind a little.
An average day used to begin with a glass of oats in an hour's time i get before i catch my college bus.Yeah,enough to sustain the marathon to the bus stop.Aah well,the countless times i had to run behind the bus to catch it.Atleast it saved me from all the trouble it takes to catch private buses to college.(Yes yes,it was situated in a countryside,far from the maddening crowd.)Read an hour and half and around 25 bucks as well..
The first glimpse of college on a hilltop(aah,what a pleasant sight!!*pun intended*) and i use few of the marvellous four letter words man invented ever!!Getting off d bus was a task by itself..Either i'm d first one(when i have an assignment of couse) or i'm among the last ones..n waiting for my besties in front of d building so that we could discuss wat happened in the few hours when we missed each other..aww scene!Well we used to spot even a new earring r footwear (yes i know,totally jobless!!)A visit to the staff room to spot any vacant seats(if not,*sigh*)and then head off to the washroom(well,the view from there was great guys,trust me!The rubber trees looked awesome with each sprouting a different shade of green as seasons change :P )
When the bell goes off,here we enter class..and sleep..sleep .sleep(the 10 hours of beauty sleep i got at night were way too little :P) A second bencher n still never listened!Passing notes,commenting on latest 'happenings',the teacher's new sari,the way she dresses,her accent..not to forget drawing pictures on the desks.even an entire set of cartoon characters nicely drawn n coloured and pasted ,adorned our desks!Name it we have done it all..!!Yes,we were worse than guys sometimes..:P After the second period,turning back n looking at the gals in the back seat..no no,not entirely 'nothing-else-to-do' (well they knew it actually meant 'how to bunk next hour??').The reasons were a handful..Teachers looked at me like i'm diseased when i got into staffroom wit the famous 'permission letter'.Fests,magazine,inaugration,iv..name it..a meeting for anything and everything!!;) Many really wondered what happens in d 'digital library'.Ahemm, discussions did happened follwed by gossip,gossip and more gossip :P ..now dont blame it on me alone..and this ain't restricted to girls alone.Bet d guys kno who i mean!!;)
Lunchtime was fun of course..well the food wasn't great..but canteen was a great place to meet up wit your friends..There were a lotta friends from other branches too you see..n biriyani for lunch always meant "sharing".cudn't eat one by myself!!*whew* The verandah of our building used to be the regular hangout after lunch.Commenting on d 'MBA guys' on the way to their hostel,d biker guys as we called them..anybody who passed by,anybody would do!:D and yes,late to class again*rolls eyes*..;)
What i must have seen the most during college must have been my watch..made d most out of it..Every 5 min seemed like an hour when it's a truly boring class!And yaay,when the bell goes,m glad i'm goin home!The travel (with music) part i hated of course.Never missed my friends after coming home though.The mobile phone is the most important gadget ever invented to a college goer!Texts,calls,calls n more texts!!Those conference calls ,the late night 'happy b'day,oh bye i need to sleep' :P..and outings on weekends,hanging out at initially Bay Pride and then Oberon(i'm sick of thenm now tho!),Convent road..hmm..loaadsa memories..:)
Well ,what if i'm not going to college again?!These memories are enough to last a lifetime..!!'Take life as it comes'-It's the most important thing i learnt from college life!:).n i hate to admit but i think i do miss college!:( ;)
