I get up in the morning... look around and tell myself.. its not my hostel room!!!!
Ranja not here..
No familiar tables and chairs ... my dustbin, my broom!!!
that cluttered cupboard.. that cot, that tubelight and fan..
Nothing is same anymore..
Not even the notebooks, the diaries and pen..
I long for that place, those corridors, those plates and glass..
those bookracks loaded with anything but textbooks..
that wait for the washrooms when getting late for the class..
That full time masti and those flaxon & nimuslide tablets in pain..
those turns to iron, and cards first thing in the morning..
those " Bhaiya, breakfast rakh dena..." statements time and again..
that "fruity n butter toast" breakfast while going to mech..
those endless talks ..
that run to admn, class, hostels back to back..
the usual stuff , legpulling, tinkling laughter, precious smiles..
empty classrooms, laoded canteen..
the race to acad block for anything worthwhile...
lectures and tutorials and labs and pracs and God knows what..
midsem and endsems..
everyone asking everyone else,"keep your mouth shut".
still moments later all grouped, discussing everything from roads to movies to friends..
TV room loaded only at that time..
the gossiping which at that time knew no ends...
I miss Type Five, Elec canteen, OAT, Science block..
sports complex..
those random, stretched to hours, evening walk...
I miss vada sambhar, tea, burger, shakes of mech canteen..
chinese platter, onionless noodles..
all sorts of places in the campus where I have been..
I miss the pond, baasketball court, main gate, road behind T-V...
scribbles on desks...
and room 106, where we used to sing and jive...
I miss nursery bolck, our practice ground for dramatics...
all my plays..
all actors, their mimics, scripts, Ashish, Ayush,Chirag and their antics...
Madhur, Rahul, Sakshi, Navneet, Priyanka, Abhishek and "Taming of the shrewed"
the convo stage...
the break time, excuses for being late, the coffee that in TV brewed..
I miss my auditions for pratibimb, reaching at 9'O' clock in the night...
joyrides of 879..
ragging my batchmates in first year.. those silly catfights...
I miss U-Special, jampacked on every monday, boarding it along with those travelbags..
Dhar and Anu..
Karan and his novels, smiling faces always, even when crowd should have caused them to sag..
I miss my rapid walks from IT block to hostel and then to class..
those Hi's and Hello's...
Oh what great days, what brilliant time it was..
I miss being either on the second bench on the left or with all you guys..
Vipin, Ravi, Sukhi, John, Adi, Laveen, Manish, Mayank, Vijay
I remember Asif getting irritated by my Hi's and Bye's..
I miss the group sitting, guessing what new prank today..
Alka, Deepika, Ritu, Reena,Youthika..
I remember your parting hugs when we all went away...
I miss Ankur and Vaibhav not being in the class for most of the time..
Nischal, Varun, Kunal, Asif, Rohit, Saurabh.
friends for life.. making me laugh or stop from crying..
I miss Sangeeta and her typical ways to talk..
Sushmita and the rumours..
Those hostel theme parties, the destinationless walk..
I miss "H" Group, first floor, mech block..
Workshop, fitting, foundry, welding..
Those stupid things I did, ED classes at 9'O' Clock..
I miss Dhar, Anu, Rachna, Ranja.. our roli poly friends..
Swati,Neha, Mahesh, Sandeep, Arun, Nitin,Abhishek..
prachi and her inummeral fans..
I miss those letters, chalk, water, running around..
those consoling words..
All those things which now just cant be found..
I miss Engifest, Innova, Tatva, Troika, Phoenix and "Abhyudaya", all our own..
Student's Council, CR elections..
Those legpulling sessions, tears and still 'Nothing', many times I had sworn..
I miss Dehradun, Mussorie, Gunhill and Kempty Fall..
Surveying Trip & those days..
Hotel Naveen, Skipped meals, terrace, I MISS YOU ALL..
That Ahmedabad trip and nine of us with Saroj Bala Ma'am...
IIM A campus..
Train and the food, Reena and snaps and Nokia phone cam..
I miss "Civil & Environmental Engineering" block, HOD room, the feather..
classes we attended!!
Mass bunks being spoiled almost always by one or the other..
I miss Enviro lab.. Lab Assistants.. Professors and the cliched lectures..
The theory and SK Garg..
I miss our concern for solar energy and waste and other ventures..
I miss Apsara, BTW, MetroWalk, M2K, TDI, Lifestyle,Japanese park..
What else do I write??
I MISS THE LIFE, THOSE DAYS AND THAT SPARK..
