(Continued)- Part 2

The day began with the usual hustle for the bathroom, carrying my tooth brush and other toileteries, completed my morning chores in like 10mins. Dev was never allowed to go in either the bthroom or the toilet till 9am, till everyone left. He used take a bath for 40 mins and the loo for atleast another 30mins Later that day, the chat about colelge life began, of course the interesting opposite sex talk started. Funny thing, like chicks in a girls hostel talk about guys, we guys at a boys hostel fantasise about girls. Dev tells me about his new found love! He kept on boring me with all her details and her quirky name [ wont reveal]. Days past and this chandigarh ka sardar couldnt gather courge for the final proposal. He started getting competition for the same chick, Panick set in. I said i wanted to meet her, wanted to know if she was the serious types.

The day arrived, Dev, me and his new found love whom he had not proposed, met.

She was a homely kid of a girl. The kind whom you will take home to meet your parents, I was really happy for dev. There was a sense of positivity in the whole environment, Spoke to her about pune, her college and her friend circle, whether she likes to party. Well liked all the answers and Dev was busy staring at her. Dev was set for life, after 3 years he is still seeing that girl. *Touch wood*

Samson was a teetotaler, Never had a girlfriend!! But a soft spoken, kind hearted, nice guy. He was just over-awed with the fact that me and dev were going around with girls, Going for dinners, buying new clothes whenever we had money, saw all the latest movies, ate at the best of the restraunts, Partied whenever we wanted and were the "Fun to be with" guys. Here, Sam got up at 7 am, got ready by 7.45 am, reached college by 7.50 am. Ate Lunch at 12.05 Pm, Came back to the hostel at 5.25pm and Wore his ganji and track pant at 6.00pm. He ate his dinner at 9.00pm and slept everday at 10.00pm.! Can you beat that!!!

Well my landlord was Jayesss bhai. He took a deposit from me 50k!! which was refundable after a year. But for some unfortunate reason I had to leave within 2months. he did not give me even 10 bucks back!!! We did not have a mess. ate at all possible messes around and got bored within 2months. But the freedom to eat wherever whatever and whenever was incredulous.

The epitome of ludicrous behaviour in my hostel life was reached during sumit's birthday. Sumit- He was a rich lucknowi laywers son, who smoked cigarettes and told us stories of his grandpa dying smoking his last one. Sumit was one of those "I-Know-it-all-of - course-am-bloddy-rich" kinda guy, he always stepped ahead and helped anybody with a money crunch. His dad wired him 25-30k every month for his monthly expenses, this was money enough for him to support atleast 3 of his friends. Sumits birthday was coming up in a days, the entire hostel was excited, wondering about the party. Boy! was it party to remember!
