I didnot have even a wink of sleep.I had to burn my mid-night oil to complete my work.At 6 am I would walk to get a cup of coffee for myself and Maalu.My precious hours were grabbed by special classes so I found arduous to complete it in the stipulated period of time.
Sitting in the class from 7:45 am to 9:30 pm was like sitting on a burning stove.Every hour faculties would come scribble something on board and walked away.The lessons they taught were like ghost stories that gave me the heebie-jeebies.
Then we got an announcement that we people can leave the hostel and go to our house happily.
Myself and Maalu were in seventh heaven.I ran to my room danced a little jig crashing my bag on the floor.It was christmas eve and my college was decorated with festoons and colourful lamps.The sky had cute twinkling stars and I felt like jumping and collecting those stars to make a necklace.My dad arrived and maalu's mom also arrived we left saying auf weidersehen.
While going I peeped my head out and looked in awe like a one year old baby,as if I havent seen the outside world.
Then I reached my heaven my eyes were filled with happiness after seeing the temple tank near my house.
I ran and hugged my mom,I saw my cousins baddy and sam with whom I used to play very often.I had a jubliant smile on my face.I refreshed myself went to my bed and had a heavenly sleep.

My Heart sank!!!!
I stepped into my class everyone turned their head towards me showing sympathy , I put my head down and continued to walk till I reached my desk.My Math faculty entered with a list in his hand."Subhavaaruni did u bring ur luggage" he enquired.I looked at him, appalled and said "yes sir".Every faculty would ask me "Are u goin to hostel?",
"did u bring ur luggages","how many days u are supposed to stay??". I was exasperated.I piety them!!!!!! They only knew senseless machines but not sensible human beings!!! I was patient enough to answer their silly questions.Siva alias Women of Mystery,would be with me and often pacified me.
That day evening I had to settle in some room.Aghast!!!!!!! not a girl came forward to share a room with me.I stepped into hostel and took help from hostel incharge.I knocked the door.Immeidiately I was responded "who is that?" it was suchi's voice.
"I m a new comer,open the door!!!!" I said.
Suchi was shocked to see me there.Along with suchi,sherin and nive were present .Though Sherin drove me scary during my initial college days later she became one my of good friend.They looked at me as if I had spoiled their privacy.I said sorry and added that I dint have anyone except suchi.A few minutes later I heard Sherin's words to suchi "hey look I cant tolerate her in this room." I couldnt control my tear gland and I decided not to be in that room for a long time.So I kept my luggage and walked in search of another room.While walking I thought... am I wrong or are they wrong? Is it wrong to be traditional?
Why people tease me like this? What an attitude??But my mind refused to respond to such rhetorical questions.On the way I met Malini ,Bagg's close friend.I was so happy after seeing her.I felt as if an angel had come to give me company.Finally we decided to be in a new room.I settled in a new room and sat on the bed thinking about my mom and my dad.It was around 8 pm so we left for our dinner.We entered and loo !!!! There were no seperate laddles for veg and non-veg, we got irritated.We had curd rice and left.Next day her mom came and she left with her mom. My classes were terrible I felt as if I was abandoned.
After my college I saw my friends walking towards the bus and me to hostel.I was overcome with acute nostalgia for my times with my parents.I loved my place,missed my temple tank and my favourite mesakara opposite to my house.
I could see buses moving out of my college campus.I recollected my days in bus with my gang ,it was like a quick jaunt to my place.I started crying aloud for few minutes then I stopped as I was exhausted.I took a piece of paper and wrote:
My lonely tears trickling down my cheeks,
each minute you made me weak.
Everymorning I got up with a frown,
not knowing how to remove my lonely crown.
when everyone is fast asleep,
I sit and weep.
lonely is my life,
feel like reaching a knife.
you grabbed my fire,
and gave me despire.
standing by the shore,
do you want to ruin me anymore.
lonely like a winter tree,
why dont you leave me free......
-Subhavaaruni Rao
(please dont copy this bcos these are not just words but my tears!!!)
Later my classmates Shakti and M.Saranya were with me till Malini arrived.They gave me very good company in my hostel days.I was an apple-pie and dint know anything about movies.I saw Chelame that night in the open air theatre with shakthi and saranya.......OMG!!!!!! believe me I didnot understand the movie at all.hahahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!
semma comedy......... Next day Maalu arrived .Maalu was my very good friend ,very innocent like a child.My days with her will remain green in my memory!!!!!
