Love is a feeling which we are all accustomed to. We all have experienced it in one or the other forms from our parents, siblings, pals, relatives. Similar was the case with Divyank, who belonged to a town situated on the outskirts of the city of Ghaziabad.

As a result of his efforts which he made in intermediate, he eventually got admitted to Delhi University. Being a student of shy nature most of the time he kept reserved to himself. It took him an year to get mingled and figure out who his true friends were from amongst his batch mates. And soon as he did, life was much more easier and fun.

Now the daily hesitation of going to college transformed into willingness to attend it. For now there were his friends whom he can have fun with. Life seemed to have rewarded him with gems. Although a few but worthy enough to last till his final breadth. There were seven of them,

Tushar who was baptised by all his friends with the name "UG" stands for under age. As he was far away from boy's cheap thoughts. You know what i mean. He proved his proficiency within the first semester itself and turned out to be the topper of our batch. Infact this skill of his helped us a lot. As he was always there to clear our doubts right before entering the exam hall. Because that was the only time when our doubts aroused.

Prateek was next in line. He and I had so many things in common. Both of us wished to pursue B.Tech form prestigious colleges like IITs but hadn't studied enough to qualify for it. We even scored the same marks in JEE (Joint Entrance Exam). At times, even shared the same thoughts. We were computer geeks. And for all these we credited "ISC Board" which served as spine shared by both of us.

Moving on to Jemson, it would be appropriate to call him, "Poly Ka Aashiq." Poly was his beloved's name. He spent most of the time talking to her via cell. He was carrom champion too.

   Martin was a cool guy, who loved to watch movies, enjoyed his life to the fullest. He was always ready to engulp new words of hindi which he found interesting. Conclusively he was one step ahead all of us in enjoying at college. But when exam results knocked at our door, his marks were always too high and we were shocked how..??

Sumit was another nice guy who tried new new awkward languages on the way back to the station and i think it was the best time in which we laughed whole heartedly.

Continuing to Mansoor, he was a very broadminded guy who was always ready to welcome new faces to his life with a smile. Finally comes me, Divyank. Found myself lucky to be surrounded by such kind hearted people with whom I can share my good and bad times.

         Beep, Beep..!! Beep, Beep..!! , alarm has started making its unending effort to wake me up from my dreams. And in my semi-consciousness  my hand was in pursuit of searching for the phone to put an end to this most irritating sound of the hour. Meanwhile sunshine had made its way into my room through the windows which was kept wide open. Amidst the beeping of alarm there was voice which could be heard at regular intervals," C' mon, wake up Divu its already 6:30 now." It was the voice of my mom. She had the habit of telling me the time after forwarding it 30 to 40 minutes. This little trick of hers seemed to work everyday with me.

       Hearing 6:30 I suddenly woke up, as I was supposed to board the train scheduled at 7 am to reach college on time. But to my distress my phone said it was 5:50 am. Once again I was tricked. Since i was wide awake now, got out of bed and took a walk over the terrace. Blowing winds filled my lungs with fresh air. Few minutes later I walked down and began getting ready for the college. Then reached station on time 6:58 am still two minutes to go for the train to arrive. Everything seemed to be usual as everyday. But who knew life has planned a big surprise for me that day....
Train arrived, I got in ... giving a loud horn ... 'Chook...choook ....choook...train left the station and the journey began..!!
