Part 34
31st July 1995, Monday
Geet was packing her stuff;
she will leave for the hostel on 3rd Aug
She packed 7 salwaar suits, 2 night dress (decent one :-)), 2 piars of white kurti, black salwaar and black duppatta, the dress code for 1st year students; they have to wear this till their fresher's night (FN).
Maan brought a mattress, 2 pilows, few bed sheets, blanket, an electric stove, small iron, and few more basic things
He also brought the stationary, a A2 size drawing board, T-scale, set squares, pack of A2 size sheets, roll pack, pencils grading from 4H to 4B, erasers, clutch pencils, sand paper, crayons, pastel colors, sketch pens, pencil colors, note books, text books, and many more things, the list is endless
He explained to her how she should arrange to avoid the complications that new students face, he said that he can only explain so that she may not become nervous, but finally it will be her who has to face all,
He also advised her not to show attitude initially atleast till the FN, ones who remain quite and not argue are the ones least attacked, but if something serious is taking place she should face it boldly, and many more things.
Finally, 2moro she will leave, to begin the new unknown journey.
Maan took her to JahanNuma for dinner, she was a little nervous and a little annoyed, nervous as new college, new hostel, and new students etc, and annoyed as she will be living in Bhopal but away from her husband.
Maan understood her, tried every thing to sooth her, smiled, joked, teased, irritated, confused, every emotion he could bring
In the night he simply held her close to his heart, she leaned on his chest assuring herself, she wanted to breathe his essence, feel his touch, they kissed not passionately but caringly, they hugged not with want but with need, finally made slow and soft love. Dozed off; in each others embrace.
4th Aug 1995
Maan took her suitcases in the car, asked her to take the seat.
It was just 6:00am, she had to be there in the hostel at 7:00am, and the class started from 8:15am.
The drive to the college was 15 mins, he gave her the round of the campus, the hostels, the SAC (student's activity centre), the labs, the canteen, the athletic field, and many hidden places which were a treat to your eyes.
At sharp 7:00am, he dropped her to the hostel, talked to the warden Mrs. Rekha Jain, who was to attend the new girls, most of them have arrived a day before
Mrs. Rekha Jain was a teacher in architecture department, and Maan was one of her favourite students, she assured her that Geet will be fine in the hostel and in the class not sure because that will depend on her caliber, Mrs. RJ was a very strict professor, everyone called her Hitler. She was a medium height lady on a fatter side, her hairs were short and she wore a saree with a sleeveless blouse.
Maan left and Geet greeted Mrs. RJ and left for her room
Pinky was already there, she took the better bed, the room was L- shaped with 2 cuboards
2 bed and 2 book shelves, it was designed as 2 individual rooms sharing a common enterance area.
She settled in the room, and quickly got ready, at 8:00am she left with the other girls, all the 32 first year girls were dressed in B/W and wore 2 pigtails, the duppatta was tucked in a V with many safety pins, they took there bags and marched in
a line keeping their gaze down in 3rd button position. They silently followed their seniors,
Once in the college premises, they were separated department wise, in Architecture their were 6 girls,
namely, Geet, Pinky from Delhi, Roshni from Kerala, Sangeeta from Orissa, Neha from Gujrat, Lipi from Assam.
They slowly moved towards their department which had a separate enterance from the rest of the engineering crowd.
On the other side thyewere joined by the boys again dresses in B/W with ablack tie, following some professor rather then seniors, boys of the all years have different hostels. There were 15 boys, will introduce as they are being introduced to Geet.
They enter the class in perfect silence, 11 students were already waiting 6 girls and 5 boys, they were day scholars they i.e., they belonged to Bhopal; they all took their seats, the senior girls left. Few of th senior boys seeing that the prof. was came in the class, they all shrugged with confusion, but to their relief the prof. came,
Prof: so Raju, are you continuing the same class, Back lag gaya kya (have you failed)
Raju, a tall lean curly hair, dark complextion, guy: Good morning sir, old habits die hard, just took some extra steps, (the 1st year class was on the 2nd floor, extreme end.)
Prof: good morning class, I am Nakul Dhagat, though I am not teaching you this semester but as your teacher Mrs. Sonia Taneja is late, I'll just give you the time table, you all will have no class teacher, you all will give attendance in every class, the attendence is subject wise, and in all subjects you should atleast have 70% attendance. Take out your pen and note book and write down the TT (he narrates all students write down)
