~~~COLLEGE DAYS~~~( Part 1)

It's the June of 2006. The auditorium of Hansraj College, Delhi University is packed with fachchas, semi-pakkas and fully-pakkas.. As I put my first foot inside, a sense of excitement engulfs me.. "this is going to be exciting!!"-somebody shouts inside me.


After the orientation at the auditorium I meet some of my new friends. I really can't recall the others, but Meenakshi was on of them. This girl manages to grab your attention at the very first sight-sleek, stylish, flamboyant, curly hair-very fair :). So together we head towards the canteen. My first impression of DU colleges was that they are known to be full of notorious seniors-who will not miss a chance to rag or gag on a junior. So although my teeth managed to crunch that piece of food in the canteen, my eyeballs rolled from one corner to the other to look for something unusual. And then, as if our worst fears came true, we started to sense some ragging going on(It couldn't have been loud, since there were cameras put all over the college). Poor little things, we managed to make an escape then. But little did we know, that there was lots to come and that there was no escape key on this keyboard!!
