my second year in college..
the second year of colg was different. it was different frm d first year. n frm d past years of my life too. it saw a new me. i did things i had never done before. never dreamt of doing before. the third sem examinations, for one, sucked..cz of math..'abstract algebra'..! nd stats of course. i literraly had to 'learn' some problems of algebra to pass in the exam. stats was beyond my comprehension.
neways this was d first time i wen to a colg fest other than our own. in fact i attended so many of dem. d first one was perhaps mamc. den came lhmc. i remember we had our last mid sem on the last day of the lh fest. nd boy..was the whole DCE present dere dat nite! i was tired dat day after d exam n didnt want to go. bt nipun forced me to. n wen he forces u'd better go..its better dan killing urself u knw..;)
so we went. nw deres something abt lh. dere r gals. plenty of dem. al alone. i mean deres a dearth of guys. nd dce is always dere. as dey say.."gali gali me nara hai..lh humara hai"..! ;) so guys decide to ask out gals fr a dance. u knw deres a kinda competetion dat starts out dere. it becomes an ego issue..!! if ur in lh u 'have to' ask a gal fr a dance..or ur branded sissy..! everyone is doing it. as if lh has d only gals in d universe..! nd as if everyone is going to get a gal dat nite just by asking her to dance wid him. :D
so me n nipun thot of doing d same..! ;) bt we didnt have d guts. atleast i didnt. so we were dancing alone. i mean just me n him. nw dis guy got attracted to dis gal dere, somewhere in d crowd, nd decided to ask her fr a dance. n boy he went. nw dat was showing sme guts man. n guess wat. d gals (dere were 2 of dem) agreed..! nw dere were many hunks frm our colg who had been trying to 'get' a gal since evening. n of all nipun got one..!! dat was an achievemnt. :) nd he gladly invited me too. so we 4 were dancing. till d party got over. den quite the gentlemen way we both bought d gals a couple of drinks. kanjus dat we both were we could manage only a couple of cold coffees, if m nt wrong..:D den we chatted. it was a long chat. actually it was nipun n dat gal manisha (whom nipun asked) who did most of the chatting. i was just too shy to talk to a gal.
one i cudnt believe dat i was into 'such' a thing..i mean dere were gals sitting wid us nd talking to US..!!! nw dat was something new to me. i had never talked to girls except to d academic bright ones in my class..dat too for notes..! neways d chat got over. n v decided to leave. nipun n d gal exchanged numbers too. i didnt have a cell back den. bt i still took her no. how cud i leave dat chap alone wid a gals no..!
nw as we left lh we found a couple of frnds nd decided to head to india gate. the 'awaragardi' over, we left india gate fr home at 2.
sunday i asked dad fr a cell..! n dad was surprised (obviously)..why in d world did i need a cell. nw how cud i tell him dat nipun cud get a gals no nd he must be sending her msgs nd i cant..!! neways dad refused.
nw monday was funny. it really was. it was class as usual. morning 9 am. nw it was a 2 hr class. easy. d problem was nipun didnt show up. nw dat got my brain working. was he out on a date wid manisha. had she asked him out. where cud he have gone. boy i couldnt concentrate in class. nw i wanted to call him up. bt dat wud show my desperation. so i didnt. finally at 12 dis guy turns up.
so i go up to him n start a converstaion..only to be relieved to find out dat he woke up late. phew..! :) c i was not going to go out wid her neways. bt why shud he if i cant man..!! dats d issue..;) neways dis guy did go out on a date wid her later. good fr him. nd nt so good fr me. cz once before dat i had called her up n asked her out. n she gladly refused. ;)
sooo dat was a big lh episode. big cz dat was something i cud never have imagined myself into. n something i promised i wud never get into again. bt dat was d end of it. i never heard frm dat gal again. nt sure abt nipun..;)
3rd sem got over in all dis mess. exams sucked. i got a bad score.
den came 4th sem. in d beginning of which i got my cell phone. :)
nw dis is one sem which makes me proud. i did d greatest thing i cud have. participated in a fashion show. nw dat is tough. believe me. first the selection. i got to knw of the trials for d show. it was to be a major attraction of our cultural fest. so me n amit decided to give it a try. nw amit had already participated in a fashion show before, in d first sem. so he was confident of making it. i was damn nervous. i mean think abt it. its strange. a judge is standing in front of u n u walk towards him wid all confidence, style nd watever. n he selects or rejects u. so we went fr d trials. nw amit was all dressed up dat day. a nice blazer clean shaven n all. i wore a cardigan wid a week old beard..nd a mismatched pair of jeans..!! boy i was really looking pathetic. we showed dem our 'walks'. nw one thing amit sir is knwn fr is his walk. its different. u cant imitate him. yaar uska style hi alag hai..:D so as expected he got thru. i didnt. he was elated. i was sad. so i went up to dis judge n askd him wen is d next trial. nw fr d next trial i went prepared. shaven, new tee, matching jeans n wat nt..:) this was d final trail before d team wud be decided. amit came casually..cz he knew he had already been selected. unfortunately fr him..dis time i got selected. he didnt. i was elated. he was shocked. nd sad.
so practise began. my partners changed very frequently. dn knw y..bt whoever gal was paired wid me, left..;) some politics transferred me frm the ethnic (my favourite) to the theme round. nd after 2 partner changes, i finally got a new one 2 days before the fashion show. actually 1 day before! nw dis gal was pathetic. i mean in terms of her walk. although i was nt a model myself bt in dese past few days of practise i had learnt how to walk nd pose n all dat. so i was a prof nw..;) we were disgraceful together. n our first practise was only in the morning of the fashion show day itself..! so we decided to work. after a long gruelling practise our walk got so synchronised dat it cud put models to shame. :)
neways..the hour arrived. boy was dere a crowd. till date i havent seen a crowd as big as dat day in dce. dere were 7 particpating colleges. nsit mait lhmc mamc nit-k ucms nd dce. d dce performance, speaking honestly, was pathetic. dere were many blunders in d previous rounds. den came our theme round. boy dat was THE moment. walking on d stage wid d biggest crowd staring at me. dat scared me to death. my heart was beating so fast it cud've jumped out of my throat onto d stage..! bt i walkd. n everyone saw. n i walkd good. :) i knew. i cud tell. boy, dat was a day. phew! bt it was amazing. dat was undoubtedly the most memorable day of my college life. :)
a few weeks later we planned a trip to vaishno devi. nw deres a thing abt our group. u wont find a man of his words. i remember before the final mid sem we had like 9 ppl ready to go. wen d plan was ready dere were just 3 left..!! me nipun n atul. somehow we roped in romit. so we four left. a scene at the bus stop wid d conductor. we nt getting seats. an accident near panipat on d highway. our driver running fr cover. we left stranded at the highway fr 6 hrs. police asking us to go home. hospital. boy..it was d beginning of our trip..! we somehow reached katra..6 hrs late obviously. nd began our trip to the holy shrine at 8 in the night. wat a trek. :) it was amazing. we reached bhavan at 2. den went to bhairav mandir. n left fr d dwnward trek at 6. it was awesome. at 10 wen we reached our guest house..dat was d last we remembr until we woke up at 4..! dat was some trip. d homeward journey was easy though. :)
nd den d exams. dey sucked. adc splly. i nearly flunked. i got d worst result. thank god it was over.
vacations started again. dis time it was training which kept me busy. nw a new assosiation started. me n sumit. dis was d first of our team when we trained together in the same organisation. later we were to train tgether in all companies. nd den join d same company as well after college. ;)
