CHAPTER-COLLEGE DAYS

College life, a life everyone thinks is the best between actual and school life, but are they right? No not at all.
It is nothing like the student of the year, or any other college shown in the movies. The thing is it is as normal as a school, or more worse than that we never know, we should keep a two minute silence for the people who still have a uniform in 11th class, they thought they could wear their best cloths but they have been fooled.

I took a bus, it took me more than 40 minutes to come up here, I was damn tired after doing this for the first time, it felt like the smelling of the people in the bus would eventually kill me. But I was save, but now it was me sweating, thank god, had a perfume in my bag. I went up to my class, our college was not big as any other, it was small one, just a college, simple, it had four floors but it didn't feel that kind of big. My class of on second floor. I saw some boards on which it was written that Ragging is not at all good. It is a crime. But damn, the rule didn't apply for the teachers as I went near the class one of the teacher were ragging a child.

'Sorry, teacher, my father is ill and I will submit the project before 18th,' a student said.

'I don't know anything, non sense, sit in middle of this corridor and write the assignment,'

'I will do it, mam, don't make me sit here,'

'Father ill, someday your mother is ill, someday you will be ill, do this right now,' she screamed. She made him sit down and write it while everyone kept looking at him. What a kind of embarrassment he must be going through. We can't even think of it.

I went into my class and sat at the first bench, two of the girls came, talking, this was the first day of college and this people have friends? I can't believe such kind of shit at all. Okay, people like me have to wait for months to have friends but someone can't make a friend this fast, they came closer and I could hear them now.

'Thanks for helping me dear, I was not able to find my class at all,' one of the girl said.

'Don't thank me and all, come, let us sit together,' both of them sat on the middle bench and started to talk and here I was all quiet, feeling damn awkward in this situation, for once I thought I should go and talk but what will they think of me? Will they call me a prevent or something? No I should stay right here and sit, teacher will be coming. Not the teacher but one more student came, he was coming towards me, do I know him from school? I don't think so, I looked at his face more carefully, no I don't know him at all.

'Is this the class for 11th A?' he asked.

'You are of 11th batch?'

He just looked at me with a 'Really?' face and asked the girls the same question they said yes, he sat at the last bench, the fans were making sound as if it is going to fall, the answers were written on the wall and as I saw my bench I saw written "Sanya loves Akshay" I didn't know both of them, I ignored.

It was the time that the teacher should arrive but she didn't a new thing for me, in my school this didn't happen a lot. I am from a rural area, Though, the development of that places are in a swing but yet, there is no better education that of Pune university, my parents have took a small room for rent, it is near my college and the best part is, just few steps ahead there is a mess, so I don't have to worry about my food. I have it in mess, the food is just okay, not so good, not so bad, I can't afford food from hotel, it is more than expensive nowadays.

All the students were here but not the teacher, but instead of her, Tania came, a girl who I saw in a bollywood style, it was like I looked at her once and bowed my head, but something in me told to see her one more time. No it was not a love at first sight, it is a myth, she just is beautiful and that was the reason I looked at her. It was nothing like 'I love this girl a lot,'

Few people were talking to each other, and others on there phone, it was nothing like anybody wanted to talk to me, or I didn't want to talk to anyone. Finally the teacher arrived, all of the students stood up. Not knowing who the teacher was and what she was going to teach.

'Good morning, I am Prena, your economics teacher and also your class teacher, please sit down,'

'Economics is damn easy subject you just need a power to understand that and I am here to do that, don't you all,'

That was a lie, she made it hard for me.
