Standing There

20 August, 2012                                                                               

It was 6.30 in the morning everyone got up as early as possible because a traditional belief is present in Indian Culture that if you are late on the first day of your big game then you'll be a failure during the whole game. But here the scenario is opposite, big game here is College and whosoever got up early were hostelers and they had no clue what's waiting for them. All of them were 10th pass and took a stupid advice from a mindless person to pursue a diploma. Everyone was pretty excited to join college ASAP but one thing they didn't knew was they are about to enter a whole new phase of their life and one thing was for sure that they will never have any regret for the mistakes ever committed during this period. And among all these hostelers, I was also one of them.

Everyone received a call around 7.30, the name that dialer screen showed was either Mom, Dad or School Girlfriend. Even dialer screen displayed different names but the all of them were asked same questions i.e. Had Breakfast? Are you ready? What time you have to go? and as a responsible parent, the most concerning question of mom and dad Focus on your studies, not Girls !!.

8.15, Everyone stepped out from hostel premises towards College to start a new life. Among all those students, half of them had this dream to make their parents proud, and rest of them had no dream i.e. they were living in the moment and even that day I had no idea what the heck is going on??? But as we were all 45 minutes early we had to wait outside the college premises and while I was figuring out what's going on, I saw a face chatting with a boy right in front of me dressed in a western attire probably discussing about her school and how she got admission here and I was thinking whosoever she will choose as a life partner will be the luckiest person because her Aura was beyond limitation and I was admiring her the whole time while she was STANDING THERE.
