Thinking hard from where to start , which particular memory to start from the memory lane . Giving priority to Hanuman Ji Ill start with it. I remember and all you guys must The Pawan Putra Hanuman Temple which itself has endless incidents memories attached to it. Many among us used to have bath in open with tap located just in-front of Temple and enjoy like any anything over there, some used Bhagvaan ji to cross the boundaries of the Jail so called our 1st year Hostel, few others used to sit over there after getting drunk and spend time there and I remember Pareshaan Musrat/Ghosh/ Johny Prasoon making a fuss that they have seen some ghost in white clothes there .
11th August 2004 was the first day of college which unfortunately I cannot attend , nor did joined my actual room of hostel. reason behind I was all down with high fever caused by home sickness. Many people already joined hostel before 11th. The moment I entered my, our , 1st year Hostel what I noticed 1st was that THAKURON ki baithaki thi Aam ped (tree) ke niche and unme se bade thakuron me se the Mr Skand Gupta ji , Ghosh, Kanti and baki chote thakuron ki toli jo waha Non Veg jokes share karke kaafi maje karte the. It was nice time-pass for people like us who weren't scared of studies .
Few days later our new warden joined us who used to give us lecture . The first day lecture was like Mr Virus used to give in The movie 3 Idiots, just a major difference here was that the context was not studies instead was security/rules in/out of hostel. The funny part of 1st day lecture : He told us that "Please do not go in extreme end of Hostel as there can be Snacks (clearly sounded like it) oops snakes at the corners" and we all used to make fun of him ever for it.
Now we started going college, few days passed and then one day Sumit Chaudhry told ki lets go for movie and he was very confident of the way to get out of hostel on name of some excuse. All Pg-2 i.e. Pal Singh,Choubey, rai and Raj Kamal,Ghosh & me went for it. Movie tou dekh aaye but aate aate pange ho gaye :( . Somehow warden caught us and then punished us and the punishment was to run 10 rounds of our hostel ground for everyone. Some tried to fake number of rounds , some ran all 10 and some had to more getting caught for faking the number of rounds. Then after we were coming back Kunal Sir came to meet Ghosh and reason was that 24th August was Kushal's Bday which no one in hostel new and it was just 2 hours more for his Bday to get over.
Hmmm.... Bday se yaad aaya the celebration of Bday of Ashutosh Tiwari, ha ha I can bet no one among you recognized him till now, Are Apna Sabu Bhaion.... So it was the first funniest Bday celebration in 1st year. Everyone running like a stampede with bucket filled with water in someone's hand , and mugs with chilled water from water cooler. And what was the purpose to get everyone wet. I remember more than half of hostel was wet with water that night. And people were even putting all chilled water in your underwear's OMG , everything got frozen . That was the most memorable Bday celebrated in 1st year.
September 2004 was the time for Lord Ganesha Festival. I remember the day when our 3rd year seniors approached us, instructed and detailed all about it. 18th Sep 2004 was the 1st day when Engg. Ganesha, obviously enggs ke saath tou Engg. bhagvaan hi honge na , were to sit in the mess. The actual interaction with seniors started all from here . All spent nights doing preparations like making Jhanda, few practicing for performances in front of Lord Ganesha like dance, singing, non-veg jokes etc and few managed to escape from all these stuffs. Going to Mess for it was all a different fun. We were instructed to be in line one after the other as the boggies of train and all singing various different songs , few of them are "1-2-3-4 Ganesh ji ki Jai Jai kaar" , "1 khachodi 2 Samosa Ganesh Ji pe pura bharosa" and few more. Pandit Ji ki tou baat hi nirali thi, koi bhi mantra kahi bhi jod dete the... But sahi comedian the. In morning time we had to go early morning in Aarti, people making fun of us seeing us alking in queue with all naare's as above. Evening time was time for celebration for seniors , it was scary, fuuny & adventorous for us. We had to make a list of all our batchmates regionwise and also remember all seniors name along with Bible, Quran, Gupta Ji's poem and all. The most famous person of that time in those days became The Singer Sarthak Dwivedi , who sang the from that time's recent movie "Murder" Bhegey honth tere. Saala bhaari demand me tha ye gaana but only sung with THROAT (lol) of sarthak.
Another memorable thing here was the non-veg jokes series by Prashant Pathak Sir, that was just hilarious and other was dance performed by my Darling bro (Bada bhoju), Bassi sir and Mudit sir on song "Jeene ke he char din" in same analogous manner (as Sallu baba) i.e. with towel between the thighs and sliding ahead and back.
Going mess to have food was a story in itself. Hamare guards Patel and Yadav , one among them was always available in hostel. So dinner time pe they used to whistle so that everyone becomes ready and come in-front of gate to form a queue and after everyone joined the queue, we were given instruction to take-off ourselves to the mess where everything except water (which was too good) was messy. Daily ye guards hamari attendance lia karte the in the nights which was their duty to do so. And many times Warden Sir khud hi aa jaate the inspection pe, to see if everything going fine.
Slowly slowly time passed by and semesters came closer. It was 1st experience for everyone, sabki fatti hui ki kya padhe aur kya nai. Koi khud padhta tha, koi padhata tha , koi khud padh ke dusro ko padhne se rokta tha, like Chatur but not by keeping those adult books instead by disturbing , confusing and scaring others. The best part of exams was "POHA & CHAI". Yeah really everyone used to wait for "Chotu" of sunder canteen ( which is canteen I currently) to bring poha and chai. Saala Choni , Sabu, Disco oops Nimil and bahut se log the jo 3-4 plates pohe pel dete the and few used to starve because of them as it used to get out of stock.
Dhire dhire people got to know the way to bypass the Facebook walls ooooops Hostel ki Diwaren and get to station where we used to get awesome poha and Jalebi . And yeah that was "Basant's" shop if you all remember. We used to study a little and kill the time for the clock to tick 3.30 AM, so that we can leave the boundaries and reach Basant's shop to get our Tummies loaded with it all. It was a very adventurous task to be awake all night, then to cross the walls behind room 105 if I remember well, and then reaching till station was challenge in itself. Because patrolling hamesha hi hoti rehti thi and manier times people were caught by police. I do remember Nimil (Disco Tiwari) , Swapnil (Jangli) experienced it. We used to hide behind, whenever saw any patrolling vehicle and then peep and see if they vanished. Other risk was getting held by seniors and uske baad kya hona tha pehle "Rasgulle" milte the seniors se and uske baad free ke pohe and jalebi :-) .
Khana pina bahut hua. Let me talk about weekend fun now. Our weekend started on Saturday noon. Life in 1st year was spent in big big groups unlike later years where groups were sub-divided. It was spent being busy with various things. Best of all was playing cricket or running out of hostel on name of buying books, getting photo's etc though there was no such requirement , only intention was to get out of the 4 walls of the Jail. "Gol guttam lakad battam de danadan" se yaad aaya ki there were no playing tools , na hi balla tha na hi gend. Gend tou co-operative store se kharid li but Balla na mila....
Saale ye engineer har chiz ka jugaad lagane me aage hote hai. Hamare Ghosh babu ne Aam ke dande ka balla banaya and started De dana dan. I remember one of faculty in B section broadcasted this thing in Class that boys hostel ke ladke Aam ke dande se cricket khelte hai. But he dnt knew that it was real fun, after all Bandar kya jaane adhrak ka swad. Baad me logon ko properly all cricket gadgets ke saath cricket khelne ka chaska chada and , humne Chanda jama kia. Saala yaha pe bhi ghotala kia gaya tha. Chandra babu, gupta and kuch aur log gaye the to Aadhe ke gadgets kharide , aadha paise ke saalon ne kha pike aish kar lie.
Another entertaining times, where we immediately pumped in after the worst dinner was The PG1 The T.V. room which served as "Hajmola" , varna aisa ghatia khana kaha pachne wala tha bhaion. Indian Idol ka 1st series usi samay start hua tha and people started getting crazy for it. Daily PG1 used be houseful at 9 pm sharp with eyes of everyone glued to the screen and ears bouncing with voices of upcoming singers. Rest of times people used to sit late switching channels in search of some sexy scenes but hardly could find the one's they were looking for.
Few lol moments are here :
->Kuch log Bewafa movie dekhne gaye after getting drunk and came back before intermission saying that movie ne tou saali puri chadi hui utaar di and went again for drinking. That was hilarious ha ha ha. Aur isme jo involved tha vo saala hamesha pike aata tha and Hamari khata tha ki He owns shoe of Nokia, hum bhi sochte the ki ye bewada fokat pike maje le raha. But the fact was that actually his shoe was titled nokia.
->Once in first year kisi ka panga hua tha kisi auto wale se and more than half of 1st year hostel went out along with senior in search of that auto-wala, badle me kya mila Mr Warden se punishment , sabko Murga banwaya tha saale ne.
->Ek din hua uun ki mess me Bhojan bada hi kharab bana tha, vaise acha tou kabhi hota hi nahi tha but still that day was worst of all. So we guys Seth (Avi Goli) ,Musra,Manish Bhaia,Ghosh,Yugal , Gorla and many more went out in search of Egg Curry but curry ki jagah kuch aur hi mila aur vo worst khana bhi naseeb nai hua , was a bad day but Today thinking about that makes me laugh badly.
->We had The Great Love Guru Lokesh with us from whom we used to take tips ladki patane ki, how to talk with them. Vo kaafi khushi se batata tha ki aaj mene uss-se baat kia, a section D girl and its better not to take her name over here. In conversations me Nimil Disco Tiwari , Devesh Agrawal, Yashraj (Y.K.C) and kaafi log hote the. But use samajhta nai tha ki hum maje le rahe the uske.. ha ha ha lolz....
->Phateek Jain jinke kaan me bol lag gai thi (truth is know to all ki kya lagi thi) and his ear got affected. Saala after few months he was recovered lekin nautanki baaz tha and always pretended that he din't listened properly.
Few moments that cant be forgotten for 1st year was Prakash Chandra (Ghora's) extensive knowledge about railways. He knew which T.T. goes in train from Kashmir till Kanyakumari , Manish Bhaia's underwear incident with Chotelal (Le Lunga urf Ankit Agrawal), escaping hostel from walls near Hanuman Temple which exited towards Azad Hostel, Gummban wale Ghanshyam bhaia who used to provide milk and other eating stuffs in night time and of-course Lassi during summers jise log pike khisak lete the without paying him out, the co-operative store jaha hamara Sabu aur Chabbo hamesha hi baithe hote the and unke saath Manish bhaia PG-17 mu maarte rehte the, Jawaan (PG urf priyank Goyal) use to koi bhool hi nai sakta as vo taraf taraf se dashta tha, bahut leta tha sabki saala.
I know that I will keep writing and my hands will not stop typing & drafting all endless memories. Ill come with another shot of Memories which will include all my fellow mates instances and stories. I started writing this when I was in U.S. , whole day in office there I was just writing, writing, writing and doing no other work and since yesterday night-midnight and today 17th Dec its the same story. Kuch kamino se mene help maangi thi , naming them Manish bhaia, Musraaa and Pendra to help me collect all left memories of people so that I can come again with another post which contained every every fellow mates story. I just don't want to miss anyone because everyone there was and is a part of Life somehow and some ways.
On an Ending Note my Heart my Mind asks a single million dollar question to myself and all :
Can those days be back ? From where will I, we escape the boundaries of hostel , enjoy eating at 3-5 pm in night ? There is no warden to catch us and punish anymore? There are no friends together who used to make your life go in all ways be it pulling your legs, fighting, making you laugh, sharing and enjoying all moments together.....
Answer is no...
Time never gonna be back, only you can cherish those memories in thoughts. These years were years which gave us memories which no one will ever forget for the life-time and will always be engraved deep inside our Hearts....
This link dedicated to all :
Kaash we could go back....
