I somehow find the classroom. Its almost empty with a few students scattered over. I decide on an empty bench and look around. The girls sitting in front of me turn around and smile. I smile back. Yes, they are first of my ICT friends.. Let's call them, Pooja, Swati and Preeti. I introduce myself to them. Till then, a professor enters the classroom and announces it to be the first lecture of Physics. And we are introduced to a hell of a Professor. A logical, dynamic lady, no doubt, an idol for many girls out there. And I am thoroughly impressed by what ICT has to offer, once again.
Oh.. For the folks out there wondering what happened to the handsome hunk I earlier mentioned, what is this ?? A movie ?? :P Remember, I am allowed to fool around a little ;) Frankly, ICT life would have been a heaven if we had such hunks in college. No offence to boys out here, there are handsome guys, cute guys, sweet guys, nice guys, but Tom Cruise hot or at-least Ranbir Kapoor cute.. Sorry.. !! Our luck totally sucked in that category. :P But on serious notes, I have met a few of the finest guys in ICT. Well, I will introduce them gradually.. Patience..
So while the lecture is on, I see a familiar face in the crowd, and I am like, Oh my God ! You can't be this cruel !! What the hell is he doing here ?? No no, it isn't my school crush. Long story short, this is the guy who was junior to me in school but now my batch mate as I took a year break before graduation. That's not all, he used to come to my home for tuitions. My mom used to teach him. And again that's not all, he used to call me Didi !! It's weird. The last thing I wanted is one of my batchmates calling me that. But still, it would have been rude to walk away without acknowledging. So, gathering up courage, we talk. I don't remember who walked up to whom, what I do is, he called me Sharayu. ^_^ And there I find another one of keeper friend.
Let's call him Vikas. Well, a good at heart guy but sometimes ( I have to be good here, you know.. Or else there wont b any further blogs. :P ) he tends to get a lil overboard, that's it. I can't talk much about him because he can get hyper about any small thing. He is extremely extremely competitive. Likes to get overloaded with 'supposed' work. Sometimes unreasonable but a good friend. He will help you in whatever way he can, going out of his way. And if you are the girl he likes, there are no boundaries for him to go out of way to help you ;)
But yes, he tends to forget his ways sometimes. (literal roads here. :P ), somewhat absent minded he is. Once a few of these guys were going to Aurora. Aurora here is a theatre near ICT for late-night movies. Just atmost 4-5 min distance from college campus. And after 6 months in ICT as a hostelite, after watching a few movies there, it took around 20+ mins to reach the theatre as Saheb forgot his way. Then, this guy is a really great dancer. To enhance his dancing skills and make them comparable to others', he joined some dance classes at Andheri. The classes cost him around 500 Rs per class. And once while going there, he "by mistake" climbed into a train for Panvel. ( For those who don't know, Panvel & Andheri are on opposite sides). Not to mention the number of times he has forgotten his phone somewhere.. >:O And many more detailed incidents about it coming up.
And then somehow 2-3 days fly off. We all exchange numbers, add whomever possible on Facebook. Then seniors come to our class to announce about Fresher's. And then the next few days I felt like I am just a spectator of all the activities going around me. So much to do, a zeal to make an impression in the new environment. But truly, these people standing in front of me were little different, weird, frightening.. I don't know, you judge for yourselves how the first impression was. One of them had an ear piercing, lot many bracelets or rakhis, trust me, he looked somewhat tapori and had a really loud voice. Another one with a french cut beard, Salman Khan like walk and an air of I-know-it-all-and-I-rule. One was a Mr-I-love- three-quarter-pants guy. One seemed to be an extremely calm guy, I mean extremely calm. These are the people I remember ( I dont think I need to mention, but still, I mean no offence). Many of these people were later linked to my life in most unimaginable ways in these years.
Finally I gear up and start watching out for dates of audition. With-a-spirit-of-come-what-may, I plunged to make Bad the new good. ( That was our Fresher's tagline). Keep watching the space.. ;) :P
