It was a winter evening and I was sitting in the balcony of my house, at 13th floor, cold breeze gushing and a hot coffee. Sun setting at the horizon and birds in the sky, flying back to their home. My wife sitting besides me, I could feel the tranquil in my soul and that was the moment, when I received a call on my cell phone. The call...
Hey, first year?? Yes.. c'mon, come inside..
Good afternoon sir!!! Good afternoon sir!!! Good afternoon sir!!!
@#@$!!$# look at the 3rd button of your shirt.. !@#$!#$ Hair should not be more than 1 cm in length.. Hey bitch, what are your vital stats..
Suddenly, there was a commotion and the next clear thing what we hear is.. Head down.. Everybody, head down.. I said, head down..
And then there was a pin drop silence in the room. There was a torment of plethora of thoughts in our tiny minds. I was scared and I took a chance to look around me, there was a battalion of scared souls, hoping to get out of that room, somehow or the other. Then, I sighted a guy who was sitting two places away from me. He was scared, clueless, blunt face and personality, that does not exist. I was shattered thinking that the next 4 years of my life would be the darkest days of my life...
Life all of a sudden became dull and I started thinking, maybe I am missing the colors in my life.. :(
One day, I met a guy at my bus stop, we were sitting in the bus already and another guy comes in, same scared soul, sweat on the forehead and on a low note wishes us, Good Morning Sir!!! You are my mighty mighty senior. :) That was the time when we capitalized and ragged the other guy, until we reached our college and told him, dude, we are from the same batch.. :D
That is how we three became friends.. :)
Sam, Matt and I
Matt and I were from the same stream but Sam's stream was different. Matt and I were in different groups in our stream and during the workshops sessions, I again happen to encounter the same guy, who I saw the first day and was left heart broke. But soon I realized, that this guy has the charisma and is unique in his own style. That is how I befriended him. His name was Champak. The name was as funny as he was and we called him Champ!!! :)
Champ was not a native of our city and had come to study from uptown. Champ stayed in a rented apartment and so, his house became the HQ of all our operations. Champ was very affable and there only I met some other guys: Andy, Roger and Alex. So, this way, all of us befriended each other and slowly the days started changing and the element of fun crept in with these guys in my life.
One day, for inter branch cricket matches, a team was selected in our stream and Shaggy was the captain of our cricket team.
