How My College Life Began

8th SEPT. 2008 , 7:30 am
My train was about to arrive at ajmer junction.i looked out through the window and what i saw was heaven and hell together for the first time.
One one side was a leaking sewage line wid all rubble there.pigs playing in the dirtiest of waters and plastic lying everywhere.And on the other side were aravali ridges.It was raining and the clouds covered the ridge tops.
I really feel that ajmer is no less than Shimla in this kind of weather.
For the first time in my life,I was visiting “Khwaja Ki Nagri”.My “Karma Bhumi”.We took an auto to the CPWD guest house,got ready and were on our way to my college.My father (also one of my idols) inquired about every mode of PUBLIC TRANSPORT available in ajmer so that I could not face any problem commuting alone in ajmer.Finally,we were at my college.i registered myself at the counter and took the admission slip.Took a round of the college.Visited labs,lecture halls,tutorial rooms and of course the CANTEEN(I am fond of food).Had our lunch there and went back to the guest house and departed for delhi in the night.

With all my stuff and a sorrow heart,I along wid my mom n dad were at ajmer station again.We went to the same guest house again and were at college by noon.I chose “Sharma Hostel” and we all went there.i chose a room and kept all my stuff there.Went back to the guest house and next day,17th Sept,I had my first day of college.my parents accompanied me to college and I went for my classes and they left to explore the city.
It was the saddest of the evenings in my life till now.Parents were leaving for delhi and I stayed behind for my studies.The weather was bad (though it was the same weather when ajmer==shimla) but it was bad.Rain,lightning,wind etc. Also,there was water logging outside my hostel and it was difficult for each one of us to go out.I saw my parents to the last point I could.Eyes were full of tears though I dint cry.i was about to cry but the presence of Lokesh,Satish,Digambar,Anuj (my room mate in hostel) made me hold my tears from coming out.i don’t know if they would have not been there,what would have happened to me dat day.
The first day was over and I had met only a few ppl from my batch.’F’ batch.There were very less students in the lectures and teachers told us that regular classes will be held after 5 days as student strength was less.i ran to my hostel,packed my stuff and was on board a bus to delhi.i was full of joy that time.thinking about delhi and home made my heart feel awesome.i again was full of life,started singing songs,jumping,dancing,muttering continuously.
Those 5 days in delhi were full of fun but after that,again,Ajmer was calling me.But it was different for me this time.i felt independent,responsible,mature for the first time.And I had made my heart stronger in those 5 days that I am in ajmer for myself and because of me. So I had to adjust to the place.My hostel was full of ppl by the time I went back again.All the guys were nice.We all played cricket togeather and enjoyed our life together.I somehow  adjusted in ajmer.I chatted wid my hostel mates,played games,talked about our college girls [I was in a boys hostel ;)] etc.In short we all made efforts to be occupied so that we could not think about our homes.we did not study for 3 months ( I admit).It was all fun in our 1st sem at college.we played cricket for a minimum of 6 hours a day and weekends were just full of it.We did not stop playing.It was a burning weather.playing cricket in 44 degrees of temperature may make you ill but it was all we did as it made us happy.There was no relation between exams and cricket.We had to play means we had to play.We even played cricket before every theory exam.We saw India’s cricket matches on the tv sets at the tea stalls.went to our college campus in the night just to fill our water bottles coz unhygenic was being used for drinking in the hostel.We sometimes got a tv on rent and dvd’s of latest bollywood and hollywood movies.We often were on hunger strike on Sundays because the authorities had to make a special menu and they did not make it.Finally they had to listen to our demands and we had food late on Sundays.The nights were fun.All the hostellites on the roof wid their mattresses and pillow as the rooms turned Tandoor in the summers.We all chatted,played games,used to call our respective telecom operators’ customer care and used to play pranks on them.In this while,I had met many ppl,many friends who still are one of my best friends.I usually went to home once in a month or if there was a continuous 2-3 days of holiday.1st Sem theory exams were about to begin when my parents and my grandparents gave me the nicest of surprises.They were in ajmer to meet me.My dad,mom,nanaji,naniji,adi(bro),nikhil (bro).No exam pressure was on me.Seeing them,I felt ecstatic.We all went to explore ajmer.Everyone visited my hostel and received a very warm welcome by my hostel mates.
1st sem theory exams were over.I did gud in some subjects but I had a doubt in 2 subjects as I dint like them.Physics and Electronics have always been my weakness.however,we were done wid the exams and were at our homes after it
