College Days

When I see herd of birds flying or group of kids playing, my heart dances rhythmically with joy and inspired brain joins the party to remind me of the sweet memories and funny Moments.

I still remember those days of captaining a team which barely wins; maintaining a group which never fights but always challenges and making girl enemies instead of friends.

I laugh at my innocence when I remember what happened during my 7th grade. One day 2 girls in our class dressed very well and came to college with lots of gifts and bands. Though I and my friend did not like those girls we still wanted to take the gifts. They tied bands to entire class except two of us. That really hurt us and hated those girls so much. That day was Rakhee bandan and it took long time to realize how fortunate we are.

The same innocence continued even during my first year of engineering. One of the seniors asked me to get eraser from a girl in Lab. With little apprehension I approached her and the conversation goes like this

Me: Hi, meeru koncham eraser istara”

She: Do I look like old aunty for you”, why do call me meeru and all.

Here she appeared to me like a cat that is running for rat. Then I again requested her in a friendly way

Me: “ Nuvu koncham eraser istava”

She: How long do you know me? How dare you call me “nuvvu”.

I saw her ID with her name X

Me: X can you give me eraser?

She: Don’t you know how to talk with seniors. How dare you order like my boss?

After some Tom and Jerry fight I finally got the much awaited eraser and at that point I felt like Alexander the Great.

Later I understand that I am not Alexander the Great but Bhakra of the week, when I heard she is fresher and my classmate joined few weeks before me.
