It was my first day in BIT. Came to hostel at 08:00 to find my room locked. So had to go straight to the clg. Din know the formal dress code rule at that time. Every one tried to frightened me in class, "are jeans pahan ke kyun aa gaya"? On my way back to hostel Sanjeev gave a mast salaah, "bol dena MBA 1st yr ke hain". I used the trick and many 2nd yr seniors apologized too, "sorry bhaiya i din know that". One senior entered into conversation, "kis stream me hain bhaiya? kitna fees lagta hai?? etc etc". Managed to answer his queries somehow. Had a gr8 feeling the first day. It was then my first visit to mess. Hadnt seen so many ppl dining together at once. For a few days it felt very odd. I used to think, "itne logon k beech me kaise khayenge"? But was accustomed gradually.
Besides the known ones frm shyamali it was Rishi whom I befriended the first. That very evening we both were roaming on the roof top where we saw Ummu for the first time. Some matter of mobiles were our topic of gossip. And as you can guess Ummu started to show his knowledge of phones (no offences ummu). I just thought how a person can know so much in details. It is from that first day that I admire Ummu. Though I never admitted that before. One day we were on way back to Ranchi which was my second encounter with Ummu. I can still remember I and Rishi were sitting on double sitter and Ummu was behind us. He saw a poster of some advertisement and cracked a joke. Mind you it was the first joke that I heard in BIT and that too from none other than Ummu.
I and Rishi left no stone unturned to share a room together. Even got into an argument with then supri Vinay Sharma -courtesy Rishi. But finally failed. Spend my whole day in his room and night in Ummu's room. Mind you ACT was his roomy and he din stay at night in the hostel for the whole 1st year. So literally his room was mine. Though it was a double decker bed but I never slept on top. I am still afraid of getting my throat cut by fan on top. Donno how Ummu slept. Days were passing peacefully. Most interesting class was that of the workshop. We managed to steal 'job' from godrej and went off to Jumaar nadi every week. Used to return at 11:00, submitted the stolen job and returned happily.
My whole friend group had only one kaam in BIT those days- making fool of others. How can I forget the E-Mech examination. Spent the whole night laughing on PK and din study a bit. As a punishment by God, had to spend whole holidays in a fear to get D. Thank God managed a C somehow. First and hopefully last C in a theory paper. This post would not be complete if I dont mention the very legendary name POG (professor of Garhwa) and his true love story. Please forgive me POG if you are reading this. Nothing personal. Those endless love tips and incidents that can certainly become a best seller if documented. How we made him propose thrice in a single day though being rejected every time. Then came the world of internet and lan and these things took a back seat.
How foolish I was to keep CPU on the bus floor and entered the hostel with lost 60 GB HDD. Though 60 GB seems too less these days but at that time it mattered a lot. Had to spend my life with 40 GB then.
We managed to visit Jumaar nearly daily and took each other`s photo with that Rishi`s vga cam mobile. Donno where all those lovely pics misplaced. If any1 has any copies left please forward.
So much going through mind to write but can`t afford to increase the length too much that no one cares to read. So ending with some one liners about all my friends.
Saket-
One of the most easily convincible guy I have ever seen. Very helpful in nature, a real good cook. Will miss our little little fights so much. That pulling the legs of each other, my carelessness thinking Saket hai na, that never questioned "kahan" on being asked "Saket, chalo". I will always admire his efforts to get acquainted in C (from a noob to a pro).
Umesh-
A real gem who doesnt belong here, his love for CSE till almost 5 sems (after which he realized IT is good too). His instantaneous abilities, his high confidence, his most loved gadget- mobile which never did justice to him. His knowledge about foreign countries, his multidimensional abilities to handle more than one thing at a time, his always locking the door from inside, his management abilities of two families(IT and Ummu family) at the same time, his opening of cold drink bottles and taking first sip by him only, going to miss a lot you guys.
Rajnish-
Ignorant of his abilities, always happy and smiling no matter what the situation, laughing with same intensity every time hearing the same joke, his love with Prabhat, keeping friends above all, real helpful, his careless nature, never showing his inside pain, his love for java, cricket, chicken, his extravagant nature but mind you never on show offs. Some times I think he din get the group he deserved. Surely to achieve some greatness in the future.
Rishi-
A born gamer (but only single player games), love for graphics card, DC main chat, love for beer, never hesitating in asking money from his brother, his shyness from parents, his minimum input maximum output abilities in exams, always finishing his work ahead of time, his a bit different liking in terms of movies, his hatred for bollywood, his guavas from home, least went home guy who belong to ranchi. I have spend more than half of my online life chatting with him, my first friend in BIT.
Tension-
My best buddy here, the only one to crack an IIM, real creative, his intelligence in his foolishness, never opposing people teasing and making fool of him. Gives a real healthy environment if he is around, his fundas, his seeking of khusamad, his love for animals (has kept Dog, Cat, Parrot, Deer, Rabbit, Peacock), his relationship with BIT`s bus, his transformation from sumit(tension) to never taking tension(non- tension), his jaasoosi abilities, his technical ignorance (though he never admits it), his messed-up room, no need to have some1 else if he is around, his rising from killing of boars to GUNDARAAZ, his throwing away of party of 2000 after earning 1700, his addiction for newspaper, can`t even imagine to have a world without him.
Prabhakar-
His tragic entry to EEE due to sanjeev sinha, a quizzer, a real knowledgeable person, can talk on any topic with you, very helpful, his responsibility taking abilities, an answer machine to any query, his kajju ka barfy, his never accepting whenever asked, "so raha hai pk"? his shaking of head whenever teased and just saying han han, his shyness, his love for music, our so similar likes. A best roomy to have, though never got a chance, will never forget you pk.
There is so much to write but believe me will breakdown if I don`t stop here. Please be in touch you guys, forever. Not good at expressing but believe me never got this feeling before.
P.S. No personal feelings. I am so sorry if any one harmed .
