These were all in PU..between '97 and '99.. This would be the time when we were free from the rigors and discipline of school and were out on your own in the big bad world... Well I was on my own.. My parents had seen my college only on the day of enrollment and never after that.. I had not wanted to take them away from their daily lives.. not even when i was asked to get my father for some mischief I had got caught for.. ha ha .. we had our ways to squirm out of them...
My first memories of college were the first day when the Princi gave his speech.. all i heard were a big list of don't do this.. and don't do that.. study responsibly.. etc.. and all this sounded very idealistic and binding for the sudden rebellious mood that I was in...
School to college was a drastic shift... good marks in exams were not cool anymore.. your clothes were not just an extension of you.. but they made up your personality....It was what defined you...You had to have your own mode of transport etc... the whole onus was on who was cool..
I had actually successfully made friends across the strata.. in ters of the cool ones and the uncool ones.. and had built up a good network...this helped lots especially during exams...
Hey this is turning auto biographical..not what it was intended to be...let me get to the fun parts...
So the best times I remember are the ones where we bunked classe and went to watch movies...the quality of the movie did not matter as long as we had good company.. So these shows we wanted to catch were normaly at around 12:00 and some of us would be in the labs then.. especially on fridays(when new movies came out)... So the first half of the day was spent in planning ways to get out of class and executing them... Most of the times we would just bail out of class or else come up with some lame excuse and get permission to cut class... once in the physics lab we actually blew the fuse by connecting the live and neutral wire.. so no power.. no experiments..no class... and then it would be time to set land speed records between college and the theatre...
Our college was pretty close to JNC, a girls college, and as boys will be boys. there would be more of us in attendance outside their gates than in our classes.. the two colleges had even come up with this devious plan of having diferent lunch times for both colleges(12:00 to 01:00 for them and 01:00 to 2:0 for us)...but that in way detered us from bunking and going over to ogle at them.... We actually had a few friends who studied there.. and so we had an excuse to hang out near their college.. They did have one strict rule though.. no boys were allowed inside their campus unless it was a fest day.. I rememer one occassion when a bunch of us landed outside their gate.. and were "chatting" with a couple of our friends from JNC... One of the guys was getting pretty excited looking at all the PYTs there.. We all told him that today was a special day and guys would be allowed inside the campus...This guy could not believe his ears and made for the gates.. It was sight seeing him trying to convince the guard to let him insde..and the guard in turn threatening him physical harm.. Finally the guard could not take it anymore and chased this guy out with his stick..running behind him..he gave up only after our friend had run about 500m....
