The final semester, as everyone knows,
has some very important parts to it. One of it being that of the hostel nights.
The hostel life of an undergraduate student is one of the most memorable
experiences of his/her life, no points for guessing that, and these hostel
nights were some sort of a farewell party to this custom.
Within this custom of hostel nights,
there were certain hostel nights more preferred than the rest. An all-time favourite
was the Sharav hostel night, of the girls hostel Sharavati. People turned up in
huge numbers to get there every year, and the hostels which decided to have
their hostel nights on the same night as this suffered a big deal.
The usual hostel night routine was to
have a small function, where the chief guest addresses the gathering, and the
hostel general secretary gives his account of the hostel’s progress in the last
one year. This is followed by awarding outstanding performers in the hostel, dinner,
a few performances by the hostel inmates, and a DJ session, where the whole
area suddenly changes into a discotheque. I had invited Vedhaa to my hostel
night, and she had turned up. I also invited Chandni, and a few others, but it
turned out that none of them turned up. As for the gang, people came in for
dinner, and rushed out before the DJ session began.
The DJ session happened, following
which I bade Vedhaa farewell, and went to meet Pramod in his lab. This was when
I revealed to him that I liked Vedhaa, and had to tell her that. But he was
apprehensive about the whole thing, the nice guy that he is, he advised me to
stay put for a little longer. Before I knew it, this story had spread through
the group.
Around the same period, Hameed
happened to ask another girl Kamala out. Hameed, the veteran that he was with
girls, happened to get omelette successfully. Getting omelette was the group’s
jargon for getting hold of a female companion. Hameed’s biggest relief in this
whole issue was that his bike would no longer be used by random first years to
make out on.
This was also around the period that
the institute’s final examinations were going on. Our reviews would happen
really soon, and that would be it.
