Its already 10th today, only a handful of days left for college to get over....to estrange these familiar roads which were strangers once upon a time.. TU was a refugee home for me for a year, for i had planned to give in my 100 percent to get into a better college next time..luck didn"t favor me tho n i was handed a lollipop for all my hardwork and dedication i had put in...felt frustrated and caged for a while, had no options..but i learnt to make the most of whatever life hands me to make it beautiful rather than pinning for my ambitions...i had struggling for a while to recollect all the bygone memories of the past four years..some sweet, some nightmares...i learnt to balance and control my emotions, to fight for myself, to care for the relationships, to seek the right, and above all to stand by my convictions, bold and brave , come what may...
Thanks TU for making me what i am today from the raw "me"..came here as a teenager, love this place for it had given me memories...memories which i can look back and laugh for a while..
I walk a lonely road.....I'm gonna leave these roads soon to explore new ones...there"s a fear in my heart but moving on is what life teaches us..i remember walking on these roads with my friends abound, getting irritated by the stray dogs chasing us, cracking jokes and bursting out into laughter...my legs would pain the next day when i would wake up in the morning, and then i'd realize how much , rather how many kilometers i had walked in the shades of these trees.. sometimes i would feel lucky to see the himalayas(as seen in this pic)..as though it were a neighbor..
Thats the night life of TU, to be precise TU under the lights.. i would miss the ambiance of these lights, while going to daju out of hunger pangs for the evening snacks and observe how many varieties of insects hovered in and around the lights....nevertheless the cheering and excitement during the games , cricket, football , volley ball , basketball.... and the victory in these games would add a zing to the merriment in our hearts for the parties and celebrations awaiting....
Spring at TU is always special.. i luvd and would miss these scene which would fill my heart with happiness..
TU had given me friends and memories which were missing in my life… The scenario is totally different at the hostel than home, at home you could have or do anything you wished to but no more in hostel..
I had been the only person who had experienced so many newbies in my room..Human nature is truly difficult to comprehend..i gave up literally after trying to adjust and giving enough space to many of my rummates , so much so that they could dance on my head and bitch about me behind my back…i remember I used to study in the light of my laptop so that my rummates could sleep peacefully but no more now…I cant even tolerate suffering or even compromising for people whom I don’t even know properly just for the matter of sharing a room..
I had been the person who had been to health center falling sick most often (after bijaylakshmi though hahaha..)..and all my friends would come to my aid to rush me through to health center in the ambulance , acting as my mom and dad, many a times.. scolding me for trying to avoid the saline … “ bari ho gayi ho abhi, saline lene se mar nahi jaogi ”
Had I not come to TU , I wont have known that I blabber a lot in my dreams, so much so that my friends avoided waking me up for dinner being afraid of the strange words that I utter..
It was a silent feeling of growing up amidst people of my age who were far more matured than me, I personally felt I should start solving my problems on my own rather than discussing with my parents for a solution. I learnt taking decisions on my own, handling my pocket money , balancing between fun and studies , learning to handle and give time to relations …
Life would have been dull at TU without these people whom I have met…people I would always have a soft corner for, and remember and laugh at the memories when I grow old…
So, meet the most consistent friend of mine , Prativa Bawri….no she isn’t bawri , dts her surname..
She was a sissy the first time I met her, so timid even to reply her name when asked…but in due course of time she seemed to be a stress buster for me with any kind of problem.. yes, she has a jhatpat solution for any kind of problem, dts y she is d A.P. of our hostel..thanx for saving our ass from attendance stuff… yay! She is an all rounder, whatever she does she does with full dedication . was my neighbor for two hours , I would peek into her room often and we would chat , gossip, study before exams 2gedr..a shopaholic, she is my chief advisor for my wardrobe collection.. so much v had shared.. I remember someone asked me in the first sem with whom I felt I shared a bond , n I replied its prativa ….n am glad that ds feeling is still the same and this bond getting stronger and more intact while leaving TU.. thanks a lot for being there..always..
The next sissy of my hostel is none other than...
Yes, ..dipika!!
My earliest memories remind me that she used to cry missing her mom and old friends.. aww, but nevertheless she could et hyper when necessary , but surprisingly even in anger she never got rude rather she would CRY!!.. hahaha.. She would dance like a kid to all the tunes, play and pamper her pinkly teddy, but she would also shower her word of wisdom when necessary… she luvs anything green , and not to forget the way she could pose before the cam…luv you..kiddo..
Tema! That’s neelam wherever you hear that word in the corridors of our hostel.. haha.. was my dorm roommate, one of the most jolly person”s I had ever seen.. she would sing , dance , play games …anything..laugh to her hearts content, literally roar..with her eyes getting skimmed while laughing... talk loudly over the fone.. if ever u get to watch a muvi with her watch her face too, u wd get to see so many expressions on her face, signifying that she is totally engrossed in the movie.. totally bindaas , cool n talented ..dts how I define her , always be the same
Next its Lily…
Both of us started with some rifts , which later disappeared.. I remember her loking the door of the dorm rum while I ws at prativa”s room..but then her pretty smile (all 32 out..:P) and gestures befriended me.. I will always remember the way she took pains to make us all get ready for the farewell session with the formal wear , mekhela chadars.. straitforward wth a sweet temperament.. miss btech when we were freshers..not only this she is too good as a cook, anything it may be..i remember the meal at her home, delicious and yummy.. umm muh me pani aa gaya.. :)
thanx a lot for the treat..will miss you..
Bijaylakshmi,
The geek and the nerd..always engraved in between books, her bed full of books , she would sleep amidst them and wake up amidst them.. so sincere she is dt for working hard she paid by getting sick .. :P…deep in sleep with books in her hands, when someone woke her up “ bijay its dinner time, wake up!” she would reply “im not sleeping , im thinking something”… haha.. remember her dance like crazy…with no coordination of hands and legs…singing jana gana for the intro sessions..i have faint memories of both her and shikha trying to ride a cycle in the 1st sem and both falling from the cycle with a thud…never give up, n gud luck with ur ambitions..
Shikha:
She is I guess the thanda thanda girl of our hostel, innocent and soft spoken with a lovely voice.she was the boxing girl of our batch in the hostel..due to her height ...belongs to my neighbor wing , would occasionally pass by my door and say a hie..make tea every day when she gets time.. wish u success in everything u do..
Amrita:
A total crackpot, laughs a lot for even silly reasons.. happy go lucky..girl b d same always..
Poonam and Pankaj:
Both these guys belong to the same lab as that of mine.. had a good time with you guys teasing each other, playing games on facebook, sending and receiving gifts … on facebook tho.. haha..
I remember calling up pankaj for doubts in discrete mahs and DAA..havent seen a guy who dsnt study before exams , goes into the exam hall and boom.. gets a baffling high score..secret : “he never bunks any class and pays full attention in the class”... oh n how can I forget, how he used to ask me after my xams in the first sem “ aaj exam kaisa hua?”.. and like a mama”s boy he would carry his tiffin of delightful lunch to college.. haha..
Poonam , I would always remember you as the” bottle girl”..carrying bottles and bottles to fill in with water, getting scolded in jadoo”s lab for being late always even though there were other girls who followed the same trend..i wd always remember your latke jhatke”s to the song “maiyya maiyya”..and ofcourse ur craze for the chilly flavor of anything be it chicken or magi.. haha.. and ofcourse , I would remember ur transition from
salwars to kurtas to jeans.. hope to see u in skirts some day soon :P… b happy always..

Boyzone that’s not the famous music band, but the name coined to the team formed by my lab partners ,I had initially .. suranjan, kozy, nasheem, rhitwik,and me….i happened to be the only girl in the group..so, kozy had coined this term “boyzone ” with the thought in mind that my tantrums , which he had faced were more than that of guys.. haha.. rhitwik was d fast guy, whom I wd always ask for sympathy n help me pass my electrical workshop…kozy would be d one to sing songs even in the electronics lab…n make cartoons out f evry1 in d class….and make the lab a total fun, he is also too eager to try his hand in entrepreneurship upon a momo ghar!!....suranjan, suru was the guy always done with the reports of the lab n graphs..
