Today I woke up early in the morning,I saw the clock it was 6:34,The time which a school going boy wakes' up for his daily routine of tension,but this day for me was different it is the day before the WTC was broken into pieces and it was the day i would be known as college boy.
The day was not usual as yesterday.I was being teased by everyone in the house being called as the "COLLEGE BOY". At 9:00 I dressed myself,a green lined shirt( shirt which i usually disliked),blue jeans,my newly brought Shoes.Well I was ready.
9:30 I rushed with my father to the bus stop,he had a fear that I would be ragged on day one. At 9:36 the bus came.I entered the bus ,everybody started looking at me. I found a place on the left side second row beside a man who looked young ,slim .I started my conversation. "Are You a first year student?"
He looked at me as if something terrible happened to him,answer come from your mouth,"No, I 'm one of the faculty,You are sitting on the faculty seat,first year students sit on the right". I was shocked sitting beside a faculty and talking him casually , i started to pick up my body and started seeing around for another place.but he interrupted my actions and pulled me down.
"sit,no problem"he said.I smiled at him. i sat. the bus went though the usual route which i used to traverse whole of my school life. I ask him his name,he said "Nikhil Bhargav",he asked my name I told him ,"Prerit- Prerit Anwekar".He nodded his head.
"how are you feeling ?afraid of being ragged"he asked. I shooked my head "NO".
then we didnt had conversation the bus moved swiftly for 20 minutes .
10:01,we entered the college .First year student were stopped at the gate and faculty showed us the way to the Auditorim.I took the seat in the corner and waited.
10:28 ,the welcome ceremony began,the first was the Priciple Mr.singh,the speech was innovatative,then came the Dean Mr.A.M.Chara again the innovation i started dozzing by then.But the cell phone interuppted my sleep.i quickly slipped my hand into my pockect and swiched it off, after that i didnt slept ,the speech was over and the last message which was given by the Princi "we are going to start our studies from Tuesday,until then there would be holiday". the last sentance killed me I was unable to understand what to do.we then left the auditorium and rushed to the bus and then back home.
