Some rooms,some ppl, some eccentricities!!

Finally, I’m out with a new post. I’m down with fever from the time I’ve left the college & even nostalgic & all the memories of the four years of college life keep flashing through my mind now & then. I wish if I could relive all those moments again.
Well, Before going to this college I’d never seen such a variety of people & never expected that such kinda people actually exist.Sounds weird ,naa? I guess ours was the batch with greatest variation. With Mr. Hero-Anoop Tiwari, Vipul on one side of the spectrum to Gandhi & Meerut on the other.Well,leave these people we ourselves had our own strange ways, weird perceptions & were full of our idiosyncrasies. I thought Dion has already given a farewell post on Rathz's blog so le's give something different.So,Here I'm with some of my big-time idiosyncrasies as well as some eccentric ways of some of the good friends I had there!!

I must confess that I had a lot of prejudices when I landed up in our gr8 college.
I was not only prejudiced but a bit rigid in my thinking.So the first few months was the metamorphosis period for me.
My fight with the STD booth waala was something that had ,at that time, become the talk-of-the-town & I guess it was the starting point of “The Rajput” crappy legends u all had woven around me but the truth is I was damn scared after thrashing that guy. Thankfully, the mattered cooled down only when I had to say “Sorry” to that guy( against my pride & to my utter embarrassment) .Some of my other stupid things for which I became known were my famous plate & spoon which I took to the mess religiously for the first 2 months.Sounds weird & stupid.doesn’t it?.It maks me laugh now.Again my two weird bamboo sticks(for mosquito net) were something everyone used to intentionally play with to piss me off.My list can keep on going but i've to give some much desired space to my friends to.(Knocked!!)
Well, the times we had in 211 were the times that’ll I’ll remember as the “Best days of my life” .It was the room which gave me my best pals -Dion & Sam. Dion –cool, talented, just into everything but hey wait!! u people don’t know him as well as I do bcoz I got the privilege to be his roomie.This dude is a bag full of eccentrities. Fan,lights, windows –he hadn’t spared even a single thing in the room about which he didn’t argue with us. His most crappy habit which used to bug the rest of his unforgiven roomies i.e. Sam, Atri & me- was switching on the fan on cold, chilly winter nights to leave the rest of us shivering like hell!! Not to mention his closing all the room windows in hot freaking summers nights which used to piss us off big-time & his strange explanations for this were something which used to make me feel like hanging myself (or rather him!!) & how can we forget his famous copyrighted dialogue -“I don’t mind doing this but the thing is…”(with a weird & wacky reason filling up the blank). So that was about Dion & his strange ways. About Samik- though gifted with a lot of grey cells yet posterboy of procrastination & laziness who used to fall asleep every now & then .No wonder he flunked an exam(quite unexected from a brainy guy like him!!) bcoz he hadn’t studied even a word before the xam-thanx to his sleeping habit!!
Sometimes, I wonder that inspite of being like three different directions how did we converge on our beautiful road of friendship!! Maybe our case is the same as is the case with Rathz & Chaki (aka Kaka)-two regular visitors of our room .Rathz always bubbling with some or the others of his wacky ideas ,who used to do everything according to his time-table & Chaki (with ever raised eyebrows signifying his permanent Load)who used to laugh at his own silly & humourous tales(while others used to find his tales far from funny & used to laugh at the mere silliness of his tales & jokes) ,who after giving speeches that he won’t cheat in the xam used to get up at 4 am to prepare chutkas.Well, Chaki I hope u are not doing it in Accenture.You’ll spoil our college’s already spoilt name if u get caught there!! Well these were two roomies. How they stuck together & remained good friends is still a mystery but hey wait..were these the two weird friendship stories..No, the strangest story is that of Rudra & Bora.
Only God can answer how they stuck together in one room .Rudra( who used to be gifted by us with a nickname every other month ..longlasting being..”Sleeping Hollow”, ‘Crudralogic” ,” Aatma” “MP” etc.) being as lively as a piece of wood. Who doesn’t know that he actually sat one day for two long hours in the same position without flinching even a bit with a guitar in his hands?? Good God gifted this guy with an unusual aesthetic sense & great music skills otherwise only the Almighty knows how would he have passed his time..I guess Chess is something which Rudra should ve quitted now. After all, who can face the embarrassment of facing defeats after defeats from every tom-dick & harry & dat too when he used to have a “How to win Chess Games” book by his side the whole day.I don’t remember even a single time when I had seen Rudra studying. Perenially gatch n tension free. Just opposite to Rudra was his eccentric roommate Mr. Bora who used to pull his hair out by just seeing Rudra not studying even during the exams.We used to wonder how his 32 streamlined teeth used to come out the moment he used to see a senior. Even when no joke was being cracked or anything. Bors used to go insane laughing & laughing in front of seniors(n guess wat..coz of fear..;) ) & we used to go insane seeing him..

These were some of the weird rooms & some of their equally weird denizens..All these people have been wacky, strange & some like me even insane but wat bound all of us together was the thread of friendship-the friendship which was so beautiful that it fulfilled & enriched our lives & a friendship which can’t be described in words.

I miss u my beloved college. I miss u friends & I miss evry moment of the great time we had together in the college. Hope our friendship remains as strong as it was in the college.
All the Best!! Cheers!!
