Yeah….I made it!!
Hey.. don’t get this wrong.. I didn’t get thru’ KBC.. nor did I finally learn how to make chicken curry the way my mom makes.. nor did I assemble my pc by myself..okay forget the so mundane things in life I have yet to do..;).. no points for guessing what I finally did.. even if u try u won’t guess it rite.. just sometime back I had told one of my friends.. a classmate of mine about a really wacky wish of mine.. its really wacky..;) .. don’t want the rest of the world to hear it.. he had a weird expression on his face after hearing that.. n I realized t’was prolly better to chuck out that wish for the time being.. !
Okay coming back ….
I walked thru’ the streets of calicut form one end to another.. seriously.. the time I started was 3 in the afternoon.. not a very cool time for this season.. it was burnin hot.. but c I was kinda jobless n also I did not know where I was.. thanks to me sleeping in the bus.. got a bus from the S.M street back to my place(at 2 somethin.. ).. sat next to a man who was already sleeping .. falling on the side.. I hate that.. n I always happen to have the wonderful opportunity to sit beside such people.. be it any mode of transport.. bus, train or plane..:(
So.. it was scorching hot .. the chicken biryani from Sagar was already making me feel so full .. and the wind blowing against my face.. it was the perfect ambience.. the next thing I knew .. I had reached some place.. seriously no idea.. I woke up.. coz the ‘nice’ conductor decided that ‘we’ had lost our place on the way.. the `we` refers to me and the man sittin next to me.. he woke us both up ,commenting ‘achanum molekum Veete ponde??” translation: ‘dad n daughter doesn’t wanna go home?’ .. I nearly freaked out.. thought I was dreaming.. cudn’t realize where I was .. n some crazy guy mistook the man sitting next to him to be my dad.. anyways I got down from the bus..and started walking just like dat.. after about an half an hour I reached familiar territory.. looked like I’ve been there before.. so I asked a lady whether I cud get the bus to my place from here.. she gave me a puzzled look .. she looked at me for sometime.. I think she thought I had gone nuts.. finally she told me that to get the bus I had to walk the way back.. in the sense the way I had come.. I was ready to scream out over there.. it was one hot day..
So I started walkin back.. really drudging along…n yeah to top it all I was walking along the footpath adjacent to the canoli canal.. for ppl who haven’t hrd abt the famous canoli canal let me enlighten u… it’s the most polluted canal or whatever.. in the city..
finally I reached back to the same bus stop from where I had got down from that bus.. since I realized that one way was wrong.. the way I had taken initially.. I knew that it had to be the other way.. so I stood there for sometime waiting for the bus back home.. now I was sure of the way I had just gone and come back aimlessly.. the names of the place.. everything.. I realized that if I walk the way back home.. I wud be sure of the remaining way also..the heat had reduced a lot.. the sky had become a bit cloudy.. n then I suddenly had this fleeting feeling that it might rain.. that would be IT… its not like hostel .. where the moment it rains.. we all run out into the courtyard.. the place I mentioned about in one of my posts… and get thoroughly drenched.. but now..its calicut..where I cud feel hard stares all the way thru.. staring back has almost become a hobby.. its just who wud stop staring first.. !!
Anyways I just kept my fingers crossed hoping it wudn’t rain.. n yeah I finally made it home..at 5:30… it dint rain.. n I guess i`ll hopefully never sleep in the bus again.. make it a point to stand for short journeys.. no matter what..and I’m sure I won’t stand and sleep..;)
PS: please donot think that I’m so ignorant that I didn’t know my way back home.. the home refers to my grand mom’s place in calicut specifically malaparamba, for those familiar with calicut.Not been there many times..

Chemistry of Room mates.......
Disclaimers: This is an absolute piece of fiction…it does not mean to intentionally or unintentionally hurt anyone …. :D
This is just based on silent retrospection….(nothing else to do these days…;))…and a small pep talk with the inmates of the famous LH of NITC
This is really a time pass on Friday morning where my dear bros are busy studying for their exams…..n I’m the jobless one around….
So here goes…:
Room mates ….not decided by us in the first year….our destiny is decided by the warden of LH….n that will b the first n last time some1 in LH has roommates…since we are offered single rooms from 2nd year onwards..
Roommates are the ppl with whom you spent the remaining day after coming back from a hectic day in clg.. if u choose to….i say if you choose to because it is up to you to be in ur room or ur friends room…if u think u hav born losers as room mates….;)
Room mates can be particularly helpful to act as a morning alarm while u r still dozing off on the bed at 7:40 while your class is at 8:00( yours truly had a personal experience of this many times….;))
It is better to hear the sweet, mellifluous voice of ur room mate(no I’m not exaggerating!) rather than the cacophonous alarm of that clock which I want to crush everyday while getting up.
Then there will be small misunderstandings regarding chote chote baatien like cleaning the room…( I know of a friend who ended up changing rooms coz her room mate wouldn’t do her share of room chores!)
When I met with my old long lost friends(boo hoo!) I realised that some of them who had become room mates in hostel turned out to be fighting to no end(the saying ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ makes complete sense now).
But the great times you have with your room mates are really unforgettable moments in your hostel life….depends on how you and your room mates get along. Room mates are SUPPOSED to be your best friends….!
Room mates can be a positive or negative influence on you.
They can be a beacon of light in a dark world for many….!
Now I’m getting all nostalgic remembering the 1derful moments with my room mates..the small joys…the chotte temper tantrums….it is really something I’m gonna miss when I go to 2nd year…
Dedicating the ong from friends ‘I’ll be there for you’ to my sweet room mates…(names not disclosed to protect privacy….u know being my room mmates will be a lot of publicity for them more than they can manage….k stopping this self praise here before you get charged up to throw that mouse at the monitor…n then I’m sparing u the worry n tension that goes with searching for a new monitor)
