MY COLLEGE FRIEND!

Chapter-13:Practicals

"Did you study something, tomorrow is our english communication practical, did you hear that?? 'english communication practical' what the hell, which college have these things...this is ridiculous!" Swati sighed out of irritation. "Swati, honestly I haven't looked what the topics are! You know it very well that what all experiments happened with this subject, our teacher kept on changing and when we found a good one, it was under the wire!" Naina replied with same annoyance. "See Swati I am not studying anything we'll prepare for it tomorrow in the college" said Naina.

"Ya right that would be perfect" replied Swati and hung up.

Next day, in the college everyone had same situation as Naina and Swati. None of them have studied anything neither they bothered to learn something. Ya, that's how colleges are, that's what colleges have! Students never cared about academics, the engineering students are so brilliant that they could survive worst tests and exams with good marks. That's what engineers are meant to be.

"Swati let's see some of the topics at least" Naina asked her while sitting beside her. They both looked at important topics and went for viva. The exam went well, knowing the fact that ultimately their college teacher would be the one to allot the final scores.

"Naina, Shefali di has reached there, she's in college hostel" Sameer texted her. Shefali was his elder sister, who was in Mumai doing M.Tech. Although she did not live there permanently but she only has to go there at the time of exams which only lasted for one month.

"That's cool, she invited me to her hostel, I'll go there to meet her someday" Naina said.

"One day, please come meet me too" he pouted.

"Good things, take time....just wait for that day dear boyfriend" she shrugged.

"My life will end up waiting!!!" Sameer said annoyingly and they both laughed.

"Hey Swati what's up?" Naina called Swati to ask her if she could accompany her to Shefali di's college.

"Nothing much Naina, I just went out to buy something and we had gupchup over there, we strolled for sometime and then we are back now. Coming back just reminded me that tomorrow is our Chemistry practical, but I'm not gonna study anything, chemistry doesn't have that spark man, except our charming chemistry teacher y'know" Swati kicked started her chatting which was becoming long finally she asked.. "Anyway...why did you call??"

"Finally I got chance to speak" Naina made faces of relief.

"I wanted to you that will you come with me to meet Shefali di?"

"Okay, no problem"

Swati was someone who was always there to help her friends despite of all the arguments she had with them. Naina was happy and she informed that they'll reach there after the chemistry practical.

Time when they reached, Swati was taken to a classroom to sit for written whereas Naina was supposed to sit in the computer lab with others. As soon as written got over, everyone started preparing for viva. Looking to this Naina felt worried, not knowing any of the answers well. "What does hard water contain?" Asked Sunaina, listening to which Naina lost hope. She literally didn't know anything, chemistry teacher had not taught anything, even if he did, it always bored her. Naina finally took her chemistry copy and looked for a corner to prepare atleast frequently asked questions. Swati had already given her viva when Naina went to ask her what questions were asked. "Don't worry, teacher is not strict she only asked what is hardness of water from me and I replied!" Swati gave her a breath of relief. "Naina, come, next is yours with three other boys" Naina took a deep breath and headed inside the class. They all greeted the teacher and sat infront of her. "Tell me two types of water and define it" Naina was knowing the answer very well but unfortunately it was asked from another student, which he was unable to answer. When the teacher saw he was not in a state to answer anything she finally asked "how many units are there in your syllabus?"

"Ma'am five!"

She asked to another boy beside Naina.

"Five units are there" another boy said.

"You tell me.." she asked pointing to Naina.

"There are seven units ma'am" Naina wanted to pat her back as the only thing she did day before exam was looking at the syllabus carefully.

"Good, can you name them" she asked her smiling.

"Water Analysis, Bolier problems, Lubricants and lubrication, Polymer, Periodic properties,....ummm.... spectroscopic techniques and...." She stammered not able to remember last unit's name.

"Phase Equillibrium" the teacher completed and smiled.

She then asked all the students to head back, Naina was delighted that her practical went well she came out of the door and hugged Swati out of happiness in front of all other. "Awww" Kamya giggled.

"Let's go"

They both headed to meet Shefali to her hostel. Shefali lived with her friend from engg. college Sakshi. They both greeted them and went into their room where they decided to go to a cafe. It took almost one hour to Shefali and her friend get ready beacuse they were more into gossiping with Naina and Swati. Finally when they both got ready, with lipstick, kohl and eyeliner put on their faces, hairs perfectly combed they saw Naina and Swati, in their college uniform Swati wearing a jacket whereas Naina had put on a shrug because of cold outside, their faces looked exhausted and dull. "Whey don't you both put some makeup on your face??" aksed Shefali

"No di we are fine like this" replied Naina not willing to do any sort of makeup, but Shefali refused and again asked for doing it.

"Di we will just comb our hairs because our hairs are looking like bird's nest" and they giggled.

"At least put some kohl and eyeliner to your eyes!" She insisted.

"Di eyeliner will do...would you please don't mind to put it on my eyes?" Naina asked as she never did any sort of makeup and was illiterate in the subject of same.

"Sure" she replied sweetly and helped Swati and Naina get ready.

Finally when all were ready, they headed to a cafe and had lots of fun with each other....
