Date ka Wait !!
I'm reading Five Point Someone and if this blog seems influenced by it ,I cannot deny the fact.I hope Mr.Chetan Bhagat will give me some kind of latitude and due consideration. The views expressed are very personal and not influenced by anything or anyone
First day in college is so exciting.Guys go to college ,on Bikes ,Cars wearing trendiest of Attires.Girls flock the campus in hoardes, balancing the tilting gender ratio.They go to the college canteen which eptomises a mini MacDonalds,with trendy and slick furniture,bright walls,germ free environment.A very comical but freindly canteen owner ,people douse themselves in soft drinks and devour unending supplies of Pan Cakes,brownies what not.Have a lecture or two at most which is filled with fun.Then back to Masti .
This sounds so surreal ,I had this kind of perception when I went to college.A quantum load of Hindi Movie influence.
I was shocked to see the Mess which for once meant what it is suppose to.Canteen came as another shocker to me .Within few days the rosy picture had turned pale dull gray.
In initial days of our days at college there is a dress code to follow.Guys wear a plain light coloured shirt and a dark trouser without any belt.Girls wear a light coloured Salwaar Kamiz with a heavily greased hair.They have to make two plaits and wear awfuly coloured ribbons.They look like bai's or Domestic Maids.
One of my friends told me the kind of ragging they were subjected to.We laughed continuously till we dropped.So in his college ,the dressing for guys and girls is the same with one subtle alteration.Guys are not allowed to wear their undies and females are not allowed to wear their brassiere to college.He narrated one incident of Engineering Drawing class.He said the session is for four hours .None of the guys leave the seat even after half an hour after the class.They keep sitting on their seats waiting for stiffness between legs to soften .Once just as the class got over and the proffy left the Drawing room, the seniors ushered them out.They were asked to leave their drawing sheets and bags in the drawing room and were to march out of the college.They called it a gun salute.So these poor guys had to walk in front of whole college with their gravity defying poles stuck out.It was so hilarious .
There were about 25 girls in my batch of 300 which is a rougly 8.33 % of the population.1 Girl per 12 Guys.It was serious competition.Looking at them in the initial phase I had given up all hopes !!
Jamshedpur can be termed as Chicago of Bihar but this city was predominantly conservative.it constituted of people who had migrated from all parts of country but somehow the society remained very conservative.
College was no different,there were guys who hadn't spoken to a female before and for them to sit in the same class as them was a very big thing.There were some pretty faces in my batch too but none you could go out with.Even the females could not be blamed as It was simply not the norm !! You speak to a female and get smacked by some senior that evening for speaking to the girl,simply because he liked her and did not like anyone talking to his Lady.This was the scenario in my college.
I thought the best years of my life would be very insipid and monotonous and do it yourself types .
Just then I saw this lissome beauty coming my way as I was coming out of the AD block.She was a dusky beauty with an incredible features .She had kept her hair loose and they swayed either ways as she took each steps graciously.Time and again adjusted her hair which were coming on her face.Time froze for me and I lost track of everything ,I even did not hear my friends calling my name. I just stood there .She went past me ,the air was smelling of her perfume, I just stood there in awe.
I had a serious crush on this female !!
None of my batchmates had any Idea who she was.We consoled ourselves thinking she must be a proffy's daughter.We decided not to tread in dangerous water.
I saw her again after a few days.She was sitting in front of the AD block and talking to some guy,which meant she was from one of the four batches in college.After making a few enquiries I found out she was two years senior to me.She was one who I can ask out.Well it turned out that she was seeing someone in the final year batch and that someone happened to be my own state senior.I was broken as it would be me who would have to do the hardest thing.
I met her twice or thrice .I asked her out first time I met her and she obliged.So we fixed a date and a place . I was to go to GH and pick her up.She said she would foot the bill, I did not see why it would be a cause of problem.I would have her company thats all I cared about.Who cares about how the food tastes on a date ?
I was very excited as it would have been my first date in college.So I started planning in advance ...but it was not meant to be. Tragedy struck !!
There was some irregularity in Exam Session and college was closed sine die with it went all my hopes of goining on a date while in college.

yo Goa. That was nice narration. Got me dreaming. Why didnt we have that subtle alteration in our college? But I have an answer too. 12:1 is such high ratio that the alteration will lead to 12*4:1 - for the 4 years.
