Orienting us...

I did everything I could to make me look good and there I stood amongst the other 100 or so unfamiliar strange faces all coloured with that hue of apprehensive red colouring their skins and a look so very startled. It was the same foolish look that set upon my face too that day. The orientation started just about the time it was supposed to (Deluding us that this was how things would be) . Maybe it was the boring months before that made me me feel interested in those dull introduction lectures or maybe it was awe at the hall we were seated in, But somehow we (atleast I) thought that college was fantabulous and life would never be the same boring thing again.

Alighting the bridge

With its noddy colours of red and yellow the bridge may not quite interest me today, but then...it must have swung from my really arrogant steps (Thank goodness that the parking was on the other side of the college). Was I not proud to climb up those hagh steps? I was. But am I now? Apprehension about what seniors would be and prejudice against all those really kind people nearly frightened me. Would the hostel be Hogwarts Or just another replica of my school hostel or would it be a place full of stench and "Wicked wardens"? It was too early to say...

My First day in College..

It was all hustle and bustle in the Coimbatore roads (which I could not hear because of my owm spirits flying in wonder dreams).My dad pushed the car to a halt(damned traffic signals) and a few metres ahead a bridge stood across the road. It was not just any other bridge, it was a bridge to tread which I had forsaken all those midday naps, the bridge to alight which I had given up those really nice picnics.. I was here finally... I might be walking there a few hours from now...
But it was not just those rosy visions that hid from me the screaming autos and roadside shops that we drove through... Fear, Apprehension and all those scary feelings that churned in my stomach adding to the hunger I was aldready in were also in the forefront.
But what was college going to be?? My fairytale come true or one horrid and cruel?
