Life in CEG – First Day First Show

Finally it was D day for me; 7th Aug I guess was the day when I was in for lot of unusuals. I had to wake up around 7.30am coz my classes start at 8.30am. When I entered the college gate there was this security ppl who showed me the way to the parking. I stopped and told him Im a student. He din hav the courtesy to reply he jus asked me to park the vehicle and walk, It reminded me of my College(UG) wer a poor old man used to literally plead asking us to park in the students parking, which I refused coz its a bit far from my class. But now I had to walk a kilometre into this huge university to reach my dept. It was time for the first class, DBMS it was. We were waiting for the lecturer for a long time, sitting next to me was this guy who introduced himself, his name sounded similar to Aaron. Behind me, there wer 4 guys, in such a short time they formed a group headed by Rakhi. Rakhi was telling all his mighty stories of how he used to chase away his seniors in UG. He also told how he’ll respond to seniors if they call him for a raging session: “Neenga rag pannunga illa rape eh pannunga”. I thought well there is this bold guy who can save us from intensive ragging sessions, a guy who’ll stand up for our rights. As I was listening to Rakhi’s mighty stories, Suddenly there was lot of hush, shh and all the sound effects in the world meaning “keep quiet” and every one stood up, then I realised the lecturer has arrived. He just passed by my left shoulder, I donno y but for some reason he was rushing to the board at 20-25kmph he was jus inches away from the board but he had no signs of stopping. Then suddenly his right leg got airborne the left one swiftly twisted around as his entire body took a 180degree turn as he showed his face to the class (left to right). Well we had no idea at that time what big role he is goin to play in our MCA. He gave a small sample of wat we have to go thro for the next few years. Then we had a long break before our DS class. Again I listened to my back bench frenz one of them The LTTE chief was telling abt this front bench girl who got a triple promotion in school. This was the talk all over the class. Mr Alva Edison had an extended session of discussions wit the triple jumper. We were then interrupted by our seniors as memories of my intro sessions in NIT flashed like in the film Gothika. But to my suprise these ppl wer very polite in their approach. They called us for an intro session the next day. Suddenly one guy started asking questions to the seniors, it was Alva Edison.. he was asking all kind of questions which non of the seniors expected, they were actually chased out of the class by his question attack. The guy I expected to speak Rakhi was nowhere to be seen. Then I noticed a guy, who can never stand still. He was dressed in blue jeans and blue Tshirt ignoring the dress code completely. First I saw him speaking hindi with the north Indians, then he was speaking manageable tamil with the south stars. I spoke to him, initially He spoke @ 1 word per minute(WPM). Then as the day progressed we spoke abt our preferences, how we landed here and yeah my favourite topic Music. This guy has the same preferences as I do, we listen to all kinds of music, we like biking, movies and the most important thing, this guy can put mokkai. By this time the WPM also increased considerably. In all, this multilingual shake sphere was the only my kinda guy so far. End of day one: I walked the one km stretch, back to parking, then off to home.
