Chapter - 1
New Entry To Life :
It was my first day to the college, I was so scared of
stepping into engineering as our seniors said “Once you join, you’re in a
trap”. They also said that that Engineering is like a pro circle which is a loop
and there will be so many bottom less pits in which we tend to fall and it's too difficult to bounce back to normal mode. Their talks also included about the factors like; Studies, Backlogs, Girls, Friends,
Love, Addiction etc., Anyhow my Dad wanted to see me in Engineering as a fact
that all of his friend’s s/o's and D/o's were into this field. As I didn’t
score good grades in EAMCET (Entrance exam for Engineering) he put me in a middle class college under “Management Quota”.
My dad dropped me near the junction where college buses
usually stop and students board the buses. I was standing and waiting for
bus, a bus came in front of me and driver pointed his forefinger towards
college side, I nodded my head and got in. Then I was walking towards the last
seat, I saw one of my intermediate classmate named “Deby” sitting in 3rd
seat on left side. I never spoke to a girl directly excluding on social networks.
Anyhow she managed to wave her hand so as I too did the same with a fake smile on my face and
said “Hi! How are you?”. She said in a soft friendly voice “Hey! I’m fine.
Thank you”. I made my move to the 4th seat on right side and sat there, in a moment of silence. I was looking around to check did anyone noticed
that I talked to a girl. Then there was a blanket of silence which occupied entire space in the bus as it was the
first day to college and all of them looked nervous but showed up bright faces as if they were going to build so many shits after their Engineering. But since I was a practical, I didn't want cent marks, I want something called knowledge
and lessons of life throughout my life and I was looking for all these. My
father is like you must get at least 85% to get into a professional job.
If I’m
not wrong I don’t even know, why I had to study, as everyone goes to
college, I’m also used to it. We reached college and I got out of bus as a last
lazy and idiotic passenger, who slept off when bus was moving like a sea saw;
up’s and down’s due to abnormal road. I walked towards ground and sat on a
bench and continuously looked the entrance as many students were getting into college
as if they are like hungry sharks moving towards a ship to hold the neck of the
passenger. I managed to sit on wooden bench and saw Deby coming towards me as
if some barking dogs were behind her then I got to know that the dogs were our
seniors, and she came and sat beside me.
I acted as though, I didn’t even know
her, but she asked me “Which branch you’ve joined?”. I’m not at all interested
to give a reply and I was annoyed and I had no particular interest to respond her, as there were seniors in front of us. If they see interacting to her they would catch me and rag like anything, but with some hesitation I
managed to respond in a single sentence “ECE and you?”. She was surprised by
hearing it and said in a lunatic voice “Meeeee tooooo…!!”. Then I got a
feeling that someone whom I know, belong to same branch and I wished God “Please
God, I beg you please we both should have to be in same class”, and headed
towards our class rooms to find out which section we belongs to.
We both got
split while searching for our admission numbers where they pinned to display board's of each classroom. I didn’t find mine and went to the incharge to ask about mine. Then
he exclaimed “What you didn’t find yours?”, for a moment I heard it like “What
you dumbass, you can’t even see your number?” then he sounded like a bass
guitar and said “3rd floor, room number 3018,facing towards right.
Then I got into the lift but there was a note stuck in it “Save Electricity – Lift is
only for Faculties and Handicapped” and I said to myself that “Yes if any
faculty asks me I’ll say them that my leg is injured and do some actions as to show that I'm really injured.
Then
I’ve stepped into corridor of 3rd floor and saw 3018 labelled on the of door. I walked into the class and without seeing anyone in benches I've occupied last bench of the last
row without even looking at the people who were seated already. Then I slowly started looking around; there were 2 rows of
girls and another 2 rows of boys. Girls were sitting in first 2 rows and boys
in last 2.
I started staring at nearest boys and saw everyone, joining hands to create new bond called "Friendship". Ram who sat in first bench, a minute back creeped towards
me and sat beside me by introducing himself. Our Class teacher cum incharge
came into the class and started say about herself. “Hello students! I’m Mrs.Joseph
and I’m your English lecturer and class incharge from this day, if any of you is
facing an problem in dealing with the classes or subjects or any problem can
contact me anytime except around 12:45-1:30 as it’s a precious time and I’ve to
eat my lunch”. She sounded it in a sarcastic manner but I didn’t get her point
well. She use to be so sarcastic that even the word sarcastic lost its meaning and
finding sarcastic in all sarcastic situations.
Class started and
before that she said to introduce about ourselves. She even exclaimed “This time its not from first to last, but its gonna be from last to first and why always ladies first?”; Then
all the girls and boys shouted like crows and said “Yeah…..that’s true, Please
from last”.
There was my inner feeling and I wanted to shout “I am
the one who is sitting at last you bastards and bitches”.
