I have seen in movies and heard from people; university is all about ragging, alcohol, fraandship, bunking to cls, labs but mostly about the first two. I came here and realised how little I care about either. The government has vilified ragging but in our clg it is not, and coming to alcohol it take whole session to write about. I was not going out of my way to find either - and I was content. I imagined my mums face if I caught by police for ragging my juniors or something. That kept me on a steady keel. The image of my mums face. Gosh, I really am a kid
I am the most pragmatic person. I know I am so proud for what I am. I love telling people about the lovely things back home. I love how different everyone is here; I was never a reader I read roughly 5-6 novels. I realised how average I am at studies. Anyone who's been on this blog for more than a few seconds will know what I am. I was one of the better among the group of boys..
I guess above all, university teaches you what life alone is like.
- How to do laundry?
- How to wash dishes?
- How to 'cook'?
- How to be friends strangers?
- How to plan one's day and more importantly, one's work?
And the other thing I learned is Photoshop from my friend Santosh, English words from Jashwanth, framing sentences with those words from Pradeep, Math from Sashi, How to ppr for xams from Swaroop, laughing big for a small issue from Phani and thing from many other….How well I've learnt the things? I was supposed to learn much more. What my next few months of college will be like, I don't know. All I do know is that I can't wait to get out into the REAL world and start working and buying a motorcycle and all the other challenges that come with the next step of the way.
