The way it is.

Two weeks of college just seem to have disappeared. When I lean back and try to concertrate on what all happened, what I see mostly is myself hurrying from class to library to computer center to hostel and back again. In between are featured long queues, IEEE, room safai, unpalatable food, IEEE, canteen chit-chat and some more of IEEE. Gone are the peaceful days and, the road ahead is not inviting in the least.

Relativity plays a cruel trick everytime. Days just start and end and at times you have no recollection of how yesterday was different from today. Before we realise the eight-o- clock curfew pushes us into our hostel confines. You decide to try your hand at tt and after sometime it already is midnight. Ah, my god! that form has to be submitted tomorrow, the aricles have to be edited, the execomm interviews are next day.....thinking hence you fall asleep.

Mornings are usually the only good part. You plan to begin afresh, manage time like no one else, complete undertakings like a winner. The enthusiasm even shows. One good lecture actually gets you interested and brings hope. You talk to friends gaily and think that was good time spent. You move ahead, but quite unexpectedly you are made to realise that those words of yours really hurt the other one! The End.

I would call it the college consumption. The institution's great apetite spares none. Some happily go down the throat, as if under the effect of some temporary anasthesia. Others who realise this act for what it is, bear the pain of being crushed, grinded, chewed and swallowed.

May our souls rest in peace !
