ohh…you will get one…” Was that a sympathy?”…you have a personality that girls like.”
Saying this she opened the door and went to the bus. I smiled to myself and she smiled towards me.
Life gives you reasons to smile. You tend to think its going worst when it suddenly becomes good. I started by thinking of “pataoing” this girl, but ended up being friends. But still its something I am happy with. May be this is what was to happen.
Well, lets not disturb the story with my stupid thoughts. Let us proceed.
“Where?”
“to the hostel.”
“oh yeah oh yeah!” A grin again. I didn’t like it anyways.
“what now?
“what?”
“what are you smiling at?”
“at you Mr. Rohit.”
“WHY?”
With this he started he just hummed the famous line from I WANT IT THAT WAY.
“Ain’t nothing but a heartache.”
“Shut up and drive faster.”
“Yes sir”
He started his vehicle again and we inched closer to my hostel. The thoughts at that time were even more intriguing than they were at the time of offering the poha to priya. Different kinds of thoughts ranging from different topics started to come in my mind. What would it be like there.? How will the people I am living with be? How will my life be, living away from home for the first time in my whole lifespan?!?
The road was congested and to help it some construction was going on.
“What is this for?”
“Flyover… I think”
“ohh….how much time is still left to reach ?”
“don’t worry….10-15mins more.”
“WHAT???!!!???”
This is Indore-Ujjain road. One road on which various factories are established. And the one where road is still sandy due to construction going on. And also the one on which, various colleges are established. Too much of establishment.! Finally reaching the hostel, we would be able to rest a little bit I thought. We were continuously driving. Actually, Pankaj was driving and I was enjoying the drive. But enjoying a drive is also work and from physics you know that every work consumes energy…….what?? You understood?…oh ok.
Finally as planned we reached the hostel with every part of our body and the car. Yes, we made it! Entering the first gate we were welcomed in by a DOG. Yeah you read it right. No No I didn’t understand his language, but a man following him came to us and told that he welcomes every person like this.( What the hell you keep a dog for?? Welcoming anyone and everyone??) Funny way of interpretation though.
One tiny person was called for to escort me to my room.
“What’s your name buddy?”
“kittu, which is your room no.?”
“umm….55″
“ohk…this is it.”
“Thanks kittu.” He just smiled towards me and left. Looks like a smiley day. Everyone just smiles. Pankaj, Priya and now this Mr. Kittu.!
I entered my room and went straight into the bathroom. Yes, this hostel has a bathroom attached to the rooms. After relieving myself with the natures pressure (
) I started unpacking. Pankaj helped me in adjusting the room. It had two almirahs. One for me and another one for my room partner. It was spacious enough to keep one’s things.
Finally adjusting the room, I and Pankaj were waiting and thinking about my room partner as if people think about there life partner.
“how would he be?”
“who?”
“your room partner.”
“he must be good.”
“still lets discuss.”
“discuss what?”
“about your room partner.”
“you don’t have any other time paas?”
“no..”
“ok”
“you start.”
“hmm…I hope he is good… I mean he should be adjusting.”
“what if has a attitude problem with you?”
“I will kick his ass….” I slightly opened the door.”…and would tell him to leave the room politely.”
“nice politeness” A voice came from outside the door. As the first reaction, I opened the door quickly and saw a boy of my age standing outside. He took three steps inside the room and shook hands with me.
“hello, I am Parth Chandel from Jabalpur and for your politeness I am your room partner.”
