10 + 2!!!

TO

Good were those days when I jus stepped out of high school...when my foot steps touched the steps of college fr the first time, 10 + 2!!!

a change in the air around...freedom??? Yes!!! freedom from the routine school uniform [:P] though the transit increased from a 5KM distance to school to 35KM to the college... far seemed near...may be a small feeling of a free bird [:))]

a typical day used to start at 4:00 in the morning with classes beginning at 6:00 :(( the day saw an end only by 6:00 in the evening... [:((] with a break of one hour in the noon.

My first day in college…stepped into the class 10 mins early, which I didnt do anytime after...tilldate I swear [;)], walked straight to last bench...managed to say a "HI" to the person who already occupied a seat in that bench. Nervously started a conversation in English n he replied in English too!!! The conversation, English, lasted longer than 4 mins...he then snapped, in telugu. It was then I came outta my preconceived notion, to talk in English in college. Wokay…wokay!!! those were the days, tough times though, I was preparing to crack the JEE for admission into the IITs!!! no movies, no calls, no TV shows nothing[:(]… it went on for three long years...it was after those three long years pause I stepped into cinema theatre to watch a movie!!!...

.....the other side.................................

new atmosphere...new ppl...gud lukin girls around...there were these three girls, from defense, who constantly demanded my/our attention!!! for the first time ever, i guess in real time, i gotta see girls in such s**y outfits. it was tough for me/us jus to take our eyes off them. may be then i developed a crush on one of them a day!!! [:P] the more attractive one for the day was my crush!!![:D] but i never dared to talk to any...coz those were the days, only days with some exceptions of course, i used to maintain safe distance from gurlzzz :))

exams time... n i fumbled royally!!! a sudden realization that three years of self-restricted life paid off...finally there came a day came which marked the end of three years of ‘this’ college life!!! and it marked a head-on towards a 'new' college life altogether..................which seemed more challenging, colorful and exciting than this was!!!
