It’s about four guys butty, boka,bagla n zaad…four of them…nothing special about them as such but all of them were unique in a sense…
It was early days in my engg college n I found myself amongst many new faces with some familiar ones…all my school friends with whom I travelled to my college;Were in some other classes n I was searching for ppl to talk with in my class.That’s when I found zaad…my jr college mate I was so relieved to find someone whom I have known before.On the same day itself I met two othe characters boka n butty…whom I never thought would eventually become so close to me.It was boka with whom me n zaad chatted first n then he introduced us to butty.After that day we were always together during lectures n breaks n watever we did…We soon started talking about each other knowing each other nstarted bunking together…
We used to go to a cyber café near our college to do tp…we played roadrash for hrs in that cyber café n then the famous lassi corner whr we’d have lassi n then go home from thr…it almost became a routine come to coll in the morning attend first 2 lectures n then off we went @ cyber…thanks to the highly qualified profs in our college n deadly mixture of 4 of us which could do anything together but attending the lectures…Early days,all was going fine…every1 was so happy then so innocent we hardly ever realised the seriousness of studies…we’re happy doing tp together…n we were proud that we r into engg…that’s it…
A semester went by without any of us realising…we had to rush for assignments n studies everywhr…thanks to the cyber n lassi we were below par in attendence so had to do extra assignments as an compensation for it…having done that we managed to complete our submissions somehow almost a week after others... then a long study leave n exams went by…which were very bad to say the least…
The college reopened again..2nd semester…We were together again,The exams were not that great for anyone but we didn’t realise anything then…donno wat was that which always kept us away from being serious about studies…may be that deadly mixture of four of us again…same old routine continued…bunking lectures n cyber n lassi…by this time we have made many other friends in the class n we had more company to play roadrash…another semester finished within no time…it’s said that time flies when u r having good times…still no results of 1st sem n we were doing 2nd sem submissions…suddenly some day rumour came about the results…n we all went into silence…I remember we were sitting on the stairs nr library n having lunch but all we were thinking n talking was about results…it was along day in college as results supposed to be displayed at 12 pm were finally decleared at 4.30 pm…alas…
N bang…it was an eye opener for all of us…we failed…failed badly…boka had the dubious distinction of clearing mechanics…by far the most difficult subject then…so wat lies ahead for us…we r to be blamed for our poor performance…but that was not it thr was more to come after this…
TO BE CONTINUED…
