the beginning.......

hmmmmm
first blog....bole to first time setting baby steps into the world of blogging
so it would be but apt that this blog is bout the first few days of my new phase in life....ie back to college
okie....lets start
i reached ahmedabad on 19th June night.
Papa had managed a change in flight plans so that i would reach early enough in ahmedabad to collect my hostel keys
the air travel part was cool. From Guwahati to delhi i was sitting beside this pretty female (and a huge gorilla friend of hers :o( ).......n was surrounded by some cute but noisy kids
started reading mein kampf but fell asleep by the end of the journey
delhi mein utra........then took the flight to ahmedabad
the sun was right on my face......but then was trying to appreciate the sun.....(i am a bit mad to try to do that :o) )
when it was sunset the panorama was breath taking from up there
neway reached ahd....waha par Kamlesh bhai ka taxi mein baitha
he spoke a lot on the way......bout his ancestral property (the amount which was quoted was something like 6+ crores :o) )......bout his family......feuds........uska pahunch........also gave me some gyan on not to smoke......n similar stuff.....so airport se college tak ka rasta kamlesh bhai ke fundo mein guzar gaya

then i reached my home for the next two yrs......it was 9:30 PM.
i got down from the taxi.....n then tried to lift ... nahi i lifted my luggage
two kind souls were coming in my direction n one of them offered to help
lekin mai to hoon hi pagal....mai bola....no no i can manage
this madness was partly because i didnt realize that i had to walk a bit before i could reach the students admission office
so i hobbled my way to that place...hoping to find some other kindly soul
lekin saala kismet ho g***u to kya karega paandu
hence proved ki kabhi bhi assumption nahi karne chahiye.....nahi to lag jaati hai :o(
neway...i was surprised to find the office open even at 9:50 PM. The person on desk gave me some stuff...(it included a mosquito repellent......sahi college hai yaar :o) )
i also got a phone.....mast college hai yaar
then a peon lead me to my room.....he offered to carry the heavier of my bags....but maine bhi funde maare....arre boss.....saaman mera hai mai nahi uthaunga to kaun uthayega
he walked me to my room.........gave me the keys.....i told him thank u
he smiled....n then he smiled again....n again.......i was smiling in return....it was like those hindi movie scenes.....jaha par muski mein hi baatein hoti hai
then he finaly said...aapka saaman yaha tak pahunchaya .... bakshish.......tab mai socha.....saala bhaari bag isko de dena tha :o)
i said....bilkul bilkul...n parted with a 20 rs note :o( (college mein bhi corruption :o( )
lazed around for two days....met my friends who were joining the same college.......bought the basic goods etc
ah yes...i had some pieces of furniture missing from my room...missing bole to others had it in their rooms....so i guessed i should also (in our college some dorms have somethings...others have other things....i havent been able to understand the funda or the architechture properly yet)
haan...to kaha the hum...furniture.....so i again bribed the sweeper to get me those :o)
ah talking bout architechture.....its pretty unique......something like howard roark's creations in fountainhead........i liked the architechture
the only problem is...its like a maze.........i have stood right under my dorm n asked someone....ki dorm 7 kaha hai prabhu
my friend took one of the 4 exits from his dorm....the one which he does not take normally...n stood there standing for a minute...trying to realize...yeh kahaaaaaa aaaa gaye hum :o)
but its good.....the rooms are pretty spacious
but mere dorm mein sutta maarna allowed nahi hai....good n bad......good coz probably it would lead to some decrease in my 15 odd smokes a day routine....bad coz now i have to go outside the dorm or to the roof for a moment of realease :o)
neway.........yesterday...morning i woke up.....n realized that it has been over 1.5 days n i still havent tidied my room....so i decided...no other work...not even brushing my teeth....till this work is done
so i worked....n it finally got over (including taking a bath n brushing my teeth) by 11:30 in the afternoon
registration was going on
so i thought......let me go n complete those formalities
gaya.......lekin ek dost mil gaya ... bola 2 se 5 tak bhi hoga...tab kar lenge...
how will our country progress when we have lazy people like him misleading innocent gullible people like me
so i got the bank loan thing done......n then just lazed around .... oh no...not lazed around...went for lunch.....n then came back n went for registration
hmm....one more fact....we had to enter our names in a list......n we were called on first come first serve basis for registration on the basis of our names in the list
i or my friends thought...likh lenge yaar.....result....people who had come that morning itself...got registered ... n we amigos...who had been around for around 2 days....baithe baithe intezaar kar rahe the
my number was 82.......the registration ws to go on till 5.......the kindly person who was collecting the docs....said......i cant complete all the registrations today....so i will do upto only number.....hmmmm......(sab log dil thaam ke baithe hai....) hmmmm....ek awaz bhi nahi kahi.....hmmmmm......85
86 wale ki kya jali hogi na :o)
neway.....my registration ie collection of certificates etc got over by 5:15
i had to submit my draft in the next room....so i went there.....there the process had stopped by 5:10
as i said....kismet ho g***u to kya karega paandu
so me and another 3 of my batchmates are probably the first people in the history of this institute to be registered....50:50 :o)
aaj baaki ka aadha complete kar loonga .....aur bas aadha ghanta
after that...after some time was spent leizurely in cursing luck n a hundred other factors which lead to our not being able to register.....we moved on
i had thought i would get a nice dust remover for my laptop........could not find any within a 2 km radius of my college...that includes scores of shops n even a huge supermarket
not repeating the kismet line again
so finaly bought a car cleaning soft cloth to clean the laptop :o)
abhi usi se saaf kar raha hoon
bas....so these were my first few...or rahter 2 days in my home for the next 2 yrs
haan...abhi jaake registration karna hai :o)
adios
