walkin' in the rains.........

if you had seen my state in the very morning of the fateful day.. you would definitely have sung a different tune.... it was hot, not warm, literally hot! the sun was shining mercilessly and all of us in the class clamoured for that seat under the fan,and ca la va sans dire that all were disgusted with the relentless perspiration......no one in their right mind would have predicted this wonderful weather!

the beautiful rains avoided prediction throughout the college day, and even as we walked through the heated, crowdy and noisy CST subway, we had no clue of the weather that awaited us... it was only when we were on the crowded thane local and had crossed ghatkopar did my friend get a call from home that it was raining with thunderstorms at thane. but even from where we were, rains seemed to us the slightest possible thing, it was sunny al right!

but as we crossed Nahur, we got what her father meant, for we c ould definitely see dark clouds down by the horizon. we ran to the doors of the compartment immediately and sure enough, we felt the cool little drops of rain on our faces.and of course i knew what that was going to mean; a beautiful walk in the rains!

it was'nt too long; just from the station to the private bus stop in the east. but nevertheless, it was great! i could see people standing in the safely shaded railway station to avoid getting wet, i could see people running around as fast as they could to get where they were headed to, and me? i was enjoying the walk, slower than usual, taking in the cool refreshing raindrops and enjoying the opportunity of getting drenched with a valid reason!!!

you might think, who in their right mind would want to get all wet and soggy, but look at it my way, and you'll see... i just love the rains! and even if it means traffic, inconvenience, wetness and mush, i can never be negative about rains! whatever be the consequence, i would never turn my back on any chance of getting drenched in the rains!

so well, that was my lovely evening, and i returned home to a hot cup of chai and steaming hot maggi, and to top it all, the Simpsons! the evening could definitely not get any better! he he

wo pehli baar.....

wondering? well, nothing 2 worry, im talking about the eternal, universal, official, special day of everyone's college life: the first BUNK!!!!!!

i know that the last word's gonna take all you readers back in a spectrum of nostalgia, but hold on, let me narrate mine first(he he)! what a day that was! well, to start with, i really need to make a point of how really a big deal it was... first of all, come on, i'm in college; its a big deal in itself! secondly, in xavier's, attendance is a big issue, its the black monster. nevertheless, it makes my bunk all the more fun!



lectures were quite good that day; maths, english, a free economics, break, psychology, french and pol.science. so after tolerating our eagerness for the first two hours, we left the college after english to watch STEP UP 3D in the Metro cinema. we knew that we won't return till french; but it didn't matter much, as sitting in that psycho prof's psycho lecture is one big pain! however we thought that we may, just may, attend the french lecture if we arrived on time. anyhow, we returned 10 minutes late, so we decided that we might as well pass our time in the canteen and return for political science; it was important because 1 of my friends had really low attendance in it.so we did, and came for the lecture, only to find that we were in for a surprise...

so what do we call it when in this situation the pol.science lecture gets cancelled? pure LUCK! seemed it was on our side that day! so that having done, we left the college early. result? only 2 lectures, a super cool movie, a beautiful hour in the canteen, missing out on the drama in the psycho lecture (which we came to know about eventually and thanked heavens for that!)and an early train home!

so now you know how special it was! now you can drift off in your spectrum of nostalgia and tell me about your first college bunk!he he...
