Today is freshers day in College. Our Department freshers party will be organized next week.

After the punishment from Vikram sir, I prayed to Lord Ganesh asking for forgiveness. I usually don't lie but ever since Vikram sirs class I have been lying too much to count for.

Oru poiya maraika pala poi sonna maari agiduchu.
(Saying too many lies to cover up one lie)

I hope I stop saying lies going forward.

Ahh leave it.. Lets enjoy freshers party.

I came wearing a normal chudidhar and changed to Half saree and adorned myself with a fresh jasmine that I brought wrapping it in banana leaf kept inside a box.

"hmmm..." I inhaled the scent of the flower. I love flowers. Especially Jasmine.

Our freshers day program would start around 12. 30 PM after the lunch. Till then we have classes. Mostly for the seniors. For the 1st years they left us free not bothering to come. 

Despite of that , morning we had one period in the computer lab. With reluctance and no interest we attended it. No one was interested as we all were in fun mood to enjoy.

As for the Professors, they did not wear any ethnic and remained in formals, thus disappointing us.

The class got over and we all left to our class rooms and the computer lab was occupied by half of PG students even before we moved out.

If it had been chudidhar, walking fast or running would have been easier. With this half saree, I was more conscious. 

I have worn it many times for functions and weddings. But wearing it in front of others, especially in college where we have many male students I kind of felt little uncomfortable.

When I went near my class room, I realized that I missed my ID card and mobile in the lab.

I requested my friends to accompany me there but they denied it to walk in front of seniors with saree. Meghana denied as she crossed Shashank while coming and his friends chorused " Ohh" making her run to our class in shy.

Samyuktha was busy with her selfies.

So I quickly went to the lab adjusting the sides of my half saree to cover my waist. 

The moment I opened the door, the bustling noise of the students stopped abruptly. May be they were expecting a professor to come.

Seeing me their talks continued as in not bothering.

Good. I slowly walked to the place where I was sitting earlier to take my phone. I searched and did not find it anywhere. 

"ah.. did you find any ID card and mobile here? I left it here in the last class" I said searching for it. 

"Is this what you are looking for ?" I heard the voice. He is one of the senior with whom I had clash in the canteen queue. He was now holding my phone and ID card. 

"yes.. Please give it to me" I stretched my hand.

He held his hand high above his head denying to give me.

"hmm.. so your name is Harini. Oh.. The ever outstanding student Harini in Vikram Sir's class  from 1st year" 

By this time, almost everyone including the girls were looking at me. I felt like I was trapped among all of them. Their looks seemed like they are all set ready to rag me  now.
