CHAPTER 3- Da Hostel

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.”

CHAPTER 2-Oppourtunity lost hope gained

She came straight to us.

“Hi. My name is Priya and I like your offer to drop me to Indore.”

Ever wondered one gets a chance like this? I remembered the lines eminem said at the starting of his song ‘loose yourself’ :

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

Until now I wondered when I would be inspired from these lines, but now I knew I was inspired.

“yup. surely you can come.”, I said seizing the opportunity.

“WHAT?”, Pankaj said surprisingly, “..You didn’t even asked me ?”

“Come on bro you wont say no to me.!”

“But why not?”

We were still talking in front of Priya, so as a gentleman I took Pankaj to one side and tried to explain the reason to his ‘why s’.

“you have to do it for me.”, the obvious and best reason.

“but why?”

“because I am your friend.”

“but who is she?”

“she is priya.”

“ya she is. But who is she to me?”

“Consider her your Bhabhi.” Sometimes boys think too quick.

“oh oh oh…” , and he smiled. This smile was the indication that the problem was solved and things are going my way.

So, we jumped into the wagon-R and Pankaj started to vroom off to Indore. But unfortunately Priya was sitting at the back seat and I was at the co-driver’s place.

“So where do you live in Indore?”

“I..” and Pankaj interuppted.” rajendra nagar.”

“oh. I am in VAISHNAV COLLEGE.”

‘VAISHNAV college’!!! I thanked god for doing this. I got admission into VAISHNAV COLLEGE FOR ENGINEERING. I quickly asked.

“Which year?”

“1st” WOW!!!

“I am also in the 1st year. ELECTRICALS AND ELECTRONICS.”

But soon the humour faded.

“oh i am in the commerce college.”

Pankaj was about to laugh but he somehow controlled it. Everytime I think the situation is good it turns the worst.!

Still I asked the important question, although I was a bit nervous asking it. No! I didn’t propose her. Don’t you think it would have been too early?

“Do you have a bf?”

“Don’t you think so?” I was a little held back. But she smiled and said.

“yes and we met on the internet.”

“are you serious?”, Pankaj and I were purely surprised. Internet love?? I don’t know if its real. I mean, there are real people around you. What the hell made you think the virtual person is better.? I asked her this to which she replied.

“the world of internet is no doubt virtual but the people using it are real. And thus emotions are real and love is real.”

“hmmm…”, the best word(or sound) which helps you when you are out of words. Things did seem clear now. The offer proved a loss. Anyways, I would find another one. This thought is what keeps hopes alive in most of the boys.! I still asked her phone no. so that we could be in help for each other when we can be. We were friends atleast.

We were about to reach Indore. 

“Where should we drop you?”, asked Pankaj.

“PHQ”

“hmmm….”, I thought some response should be from my side so that it may make up for the last one hour of me not talking.

“well…Rohit.?” Me? She took my name?

“yea?”

“tell me one thing .”

“what?”

“Do you a gf?” 

I wanted to ask her “are girls realy stupid or do they behave as if they are?“, but instead I replied negatively and that too very politely.

“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.

PS: Don’t know when I will get internet access again.

PS:please do comment

PS: rock on!!!
