FOUR YEARS FOR A LIFETIME...!

     It's so weird, that sometimes the things and places you loathe the most, are the one's you tend to miss the most....As cliche as it sounds, there's always a hidden truth in it! I had never (even remotely) dreamed of  landing up in a hostel lets say never ever...but perhaps that's how the well known "fate" works! you are either pushed to do something you have not anticipated or bestowed with something you always wished you never had!!! :P   So,putting the point straight there i was ..in a hostel to pursue my graduation in a college that is a perfect carbon copy to a jail! (especially for G-I-R-L-S!!). No outings, no movies, no malls( oops...there was none around !),no parties, no ragging (oh yeah its an engineering college, if your already doubting it!), no birthday celebrations allowed( legally) and worst of all NO non-veg(my friends can actually tell how much i would pause at this juncture!).

                              For all those who are skeptical about the very existence of such a college let me assure you guys, there is world beyond your imagination! So, the story begins here...i had 4 years of torture to bear and gallons of "HEAT" to take( this place being the official STOVE of India!) hundreds of people to meet and hundred and odd mindsets to deal with (if you know what i mean :P) . I entered my room and was more than glad to meet a girl i could associate with (who later became my best buddy for life) . She was the stupidest person i love to be with at all times no matter what! (Don't go to U.S please...)We were the two people whom the whole world would never doubt would get seperated. (no matter how silly and serious our fights were)I met a girl who was from North India (officially my room mate) and later a friend whom i would always remember! She was different and to her you and I were different :P The masti, crazy acts and never ending chats in the room are the best memories!

                                          But that was not all...i later met a bunch of special people who were the biggest idiots just like me :P  The girl who came up to me first asking me to teach her a subject i knew no smell and taste of! She was someone i thought i would hate for a lifetime but she became the one i would not dare leave! Our Milk Shake "brum-brum" parties and never fulfilling "This-is-the-last-time" promises are just the best!Then there's the "girl-with-the-acid-bottle" ( she would kill me for this :P) who can just win anything and everything with just one "Smile" . It was like there's nothing in the world that could stop her from smiling! Then there was the "girl-with-the-perfect-figure" who always went by the rules! (lets just say sometimes ) One would never forget her "child-talk" ( something we had always made fun of :P) The "TTD-girl" was a perky little one with amazing hair and lots of stories...(the politics lover! and we share something in common too :P)

                                                      The "chary-girl" was the fun loving yet bound to ECE torture person who loveeeeeeeed to EAT and SING ! (she had the ability to put any melodious song to death :P) Then, there was the "girl-in-silence" who mostly kept to herself but when in action got us down to our knees :P (the day when the three of got caught and deliberately pulled in the spectator :P). We had the "short-cute-teacher" who made our life a lot easy during exams (atleast to an extent) .How could we imagine a world without  her? She was the sweetest person ever!

                               Then there was a guy, the only friend (in guys) i ever had...someone who always loved pulling my leg,albeit someone who was always a friend in need! He is one talented coder i should say! The "girl from the corner room" was a sweet and short friend who had loads of stories to tell. she was sharing and well mannered and not to forget a very sweet friend! Then comes the "fairest-girl-in-the-lot" the girl who could have you rolling on the floor with her jokes and satire. A good friend again!

                                   The "travel-mate-girl" , was a fun loving and awesomely confused(now i say awesome here) and extremely talkative girl in who's company you would just not notice all night pass away! Lots of people lots of memories...the girly talks(especially a night before the exams :P), the freakishly awesome "made-up-kitchen-food",  hangouts in the canteen and ditch, the craving for attendance, petty fights and lovely patch-ups , sneak outs to the punjabi dabha, the little temple and the funny professors, the birthday parties, the secret talk , playfulness and tonnes and tonnes of stupidity! four years meant a life time!!!!!!
THANK YOU GUYS !! IT WAS AN AWESOME PACKAGE OF MEMORIES !!! WE MADE IT!!!! LOVE U ALL AND MISS U LOADS !!!!! :)

### THE CURRENCY CAVES ###

Have you been to a Bank( i mean the money spot) lately? What a MODUS VIVENDI!!!! Don't you think?
If u don't exactly know what a modus vivendi is, my article will serve as an apt explanation...........
A place with an unstoppable influx and exodus of people and money seems like the busiest place. However, the employees at our service don't quite seem the "people at our service". As flushed out as their good mood could get as time passes by, the very reflection of this phenomenon on us is never missed!

                                    The Manager is a silent cozy man/woman seated in his "disturb-me-as-little-as-possible" cabin at a corner trying to figure out head and tail of the junk on his table! The staff,the people with their own set of individual and variable moods are the ones who worry me at times. I cant quite say if it's the people (who deposit and withdraw the Vitamin M) or the environment around them, but work seems their worst nightmare!! (atleast in most of the banks i have been to ) There's a grumpy person who has an issue with everything. On the flip side,there's also a sober person to whom all customers are apparently routed as he is the one in the good mood for the day or rather to say for the hour :p

                               How could someone not mention the oomph of the place....the attender(or peon) ,his name being the MANTRA of the place, people keep chanting his name over and over to get things done be it big or small ! Like it is said " The person with the lowest post is the person of utmost importance! " As agile as the man is , moves around chair to chair meeting the needs of the staff by fetching files or papers or stamps or "stress relieving  tea" or even sometimes a smile. He is more or less as i perceive, the "mood enhancing " perky  man of the place!

Right in a corner seated behind a "prison looking petit cabin" is the cashier with all the cash! To meet him you imperatively need a token that looks like currency from the past...the ones owned by the kings in the good old days! and lots of patience. He is perhaps the only person who keeps mum most of the time. During their leisure, the staff has issues from all around the globe to talk about ...sometimes u might also land up being the one who with or without interest gets to be part of it when the guy at your service finds it more important than u. Patience is something that always comes in handy while at a bank. So, have you updated your patience levels recently?????
