what i saw

Here I am this is me, there’s nowhere else on earth I’d rather there.
It’s a new day, it’s a new start .It’s a life with the beating of a young heart …. Thunk! Darn the battery !- campus 3 to KP-2(in case you have’nt figured wht it is-that’s my hostel ), a trip which I have made over a million times by now, seems to be a 100mile marathon every time classes get over and this time it’s not getting any better rather, after slogging through 4 terrible, treacherous, torchereous, tormentous hours of “PPT” it’s getting worse and now the battery of my MP3 player is down too.
Twenty five minutes,a cigaratte,a coke and a veg. patty later I arrived at the hostel gate, only to be greeted by a bunch of blue shirted piegons gossiping and chirping under the tree that we have at the gates of our palace and I utter to myself “God save them! for one day; they shall die of self pity.” Someone calls out my name from inside,"Rohan where the F*** had you been, I have tried your cell a million times.” That does it!, my dreams of getting back to bed shattered. “Harsh” and “Baady” come galloping out of our palace and the next minute the three of us are headed to our “daily ka adda”.
The genius amongst us starts the discussion on our way to the “adda” ,where our evenings have found shelter. He utters the “P”word, the word, the word spoken the maximum no. of times inside KiiT campus.
The tone is complaining and full of pain. This guy, I must say is very good at current affairs as he has the complete updated details of whatever happened when Bill Gate's company was here in our institute for recruitment.
For the next one hour and half, the three of us were busy planning strategies to get ourselves on board Microsoft. Somewhere at the back of my mind, a shrill voice out of nowhere said, " Dude,The race has begun.”
Back at the hostel, I notice significant changes on my floor. Topic of discussion of the different “Khatti” groups has changed, a transition from female sector to IT and ITES sector, from girls in different departments to departments in IT giants like Google,MS,Oracle etc. No more could I see boys loitering around sitting aimlessly in front of their laptops and chatting, instead they were busy solving aptitude papers.Our beloved “Khatti Session” had been rechristened as “Group Discussion“ with topics heavier than sumo wrestlers.
Come December and the scenario changes like it has now, I guess. Too many things are on my mind question like “Will I get placed?” I try to answer but then what if I don’t? Nothing can satisfy a confused mind. Confused is what I’ve become and I guess it happens with everybody.
A fear that finds a place in everybody’s heart but one needs to get over it. Peers indeed put a lot of pressure and we have to learn to get over it. This is one period where I feel, we learn to resist temptations and get control over the 1500 cc brain that we have - 'cuz if we don't it has got enough torque to spin you around a million times .

Here I am lying on my bed, with a crusade of thoughts going on in my mind. But that’s life.
