PART 9
Vardhan came out of his trance hearing his phone ring. He had received a text message from PKC which said- There is a change in the schedule. The tech fest will be held tomorrow evening instead of this evening. Something else has been planned for today.
"What will happen today then?" Vardhan said to himself.
Seeing Sahil passing his office, Vardhan stopped him and asked him to lead the students of the other colleges to their rooms, and to make sure they were comfortable. They would arrive in the next half an hour.
Vardhan went out of his office for a stroll. He went to the staff room and asked Prof. Chatterjee what had been planned for the evening.
"As far as I know, Vardhan, there is going to be a DJ night to welcome the students of the other colleges," Prof. Chatterjee replied as he checked assignments.
Vardhan hated loud music and shiny lights. To him, a DJ night was the most annoying thing ever.
"Whose idea was this, Professor?" he asked.
"Maya. She's planning and organizing everything," Prof. Chatterjee said.

Randhir was elated seeing the notice on the soft board. The fest was tomorrow, so he had more time to prepare!
"Yes!" he said, rushing to the mechanical lab. There was still an hour left for his first lecture, and he wanted to practice as much as he could.
He took a malfunctioning machine and started fixing it. He oiled the rusted parts and fixed the errors in the internal structure of the machine. It was running in no time! It had taken him just 10 minutes. He washed his greasy hands and went to the library to practice numericals.
He wondered what Sanyukta was doing. He had been so preoccupied with the prep for the fest that he had not met her or spoken to her for a week.
"Mujhse naraz hogi. I have to make it up to her soon," he thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yeh ishq haye, baithe bithaaye, jannat dikhaaye haan, o Rama! Yeh ishq haye..."
Sanyukta sang as she danced on her bed. She was all alone, as her studious and extra sincere roommate had gone to the library. Her hairbrush was her microphone, her bed was her stage and the walls were her audience!
She had just watched the new movie "Jab We Met" and absolutely loved it.
The story, the locations, the acting, the music! And of course, it had her favourite actress Kareena!
Exhausted after 40 minutes of dancing and jumping on her bed, Sanyukta sat down and drank some water.
She had just experienced pure and unadulterated joy! Singing, dancing and acting gave her the joy and satisfaction she could never find in anything else.
Her happy bubble was burst as she caught a glimpse of her clock. Her first lecture was in 15 minutes.
Sanyukta got ready and went to her class. She reached early, before anyone else and sat on the first bench. Flipping through her books, she frowned. She would have to study all this. Sin, cos, theta... and all about engines and machines.
She didn't want to be an engineer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Agarwal was sitting in Sanyukta's room and seeing all her certificates and trophies that she had earned throughout her school life. His face lit up with pride!
"Mere baad meri Sanyu Agarwal Industries ko aage badhayegi. You will make my company reach new heights, you will make me proud. Mujhe tujh par poora bharosa hai, Sanyu," he said to her photo.
"Sahab, naashta lag gaya hai," the maid knocked on his door and said.
"Aa raha hoon!" he replied. He arranged Sanyukta's certificates and kept them in a file. He walked to the breakfast table.
