PARAMETERS 2.i - Mr. LONELY

We were back after the exams and no one really joined back on the official date. Everyone had their own extended choices of holidays. So people came back to hostel at irregular periods of time. Classes had begun atleast the teachers would say so. Priyankar , Pande , Somen , Abhishek were in campus and so was I. After the last Russian Circus incident , I had become a lot more quieter and would converse maximum with Hubba ( Abhishek ). Pinky ( Priyankar ) and Pande were acting normal and so was I. But could not quite talk much with Somen although he was okay with me now. I would talk to all but would think a lot before cracking jokes and would hardly participate directly in pranks. It was not that I tried to show something . It came naturally as I was still guilty inside .. kind of a complex I was suffering from.

PARAMETERS 1.xx - The 'Russian Circus'

We had discovered that when Hubba was sure of something then its really worth thinking about it a few more times because normally what he was confident of , it was proved to be opposite most of the times. It was the mid of December and our exams had just finished. In between our exams Pande , Pinky, Hubba, Somen and I have planned to go to the Russian Circus. Hubba gave the description of the body fitness those russian girls have and that would be a pleasure to watch. Pande was too concerned about the food stalls because of the popularity of the circus and huge crowd.

Pinky was sitting on a plastic chair , enjoying the pendulum effect with his shifting body weight. The rest all of us were sitting in Pande's bed. Hubba started the discussion

PARAMETERS 1.xix- Lissajous Figure

The last minute suggestion papers , the mock question papers (the papers were mocking us ), the last year question papers , the notes that may come , the notes that may not come everything were on the hot list and the one and only thing that was a survival was THE MATRIX. It was kind of one weapon everyone knew of. I never knew before what it can really do but like the holy bible I had faith on it that may be it can be my last minute survival to the lazyness incurred in last few months..The semester was really knocking on the door now but to my surprise we still had the festival like thing going outside , the cafeteria , gym and most obviously the xerox shop to be active all the time...

Pinky was always very serious about things which may not be that important. But this was exam and that too the first exam in his college life. So he was very much concerned,

PARAMETERS 1.xviii - Diary Expedition : Part 2

Exams were near by but the atmosphere there in the campus was something different. It felt a little awkward to me when I found people involving in more co curricular activities other than studying. The nets and the lights in the basketball and volleyball fields were always on till late night. The badminton court too would be occupied and few people waiting for the rotation chances to play. The gym and cafeteria would also be filled up with enthusiastic guys and couples. It had a festival like feeling. It never felt that we were actually getting nearer to semesters. Maybe thats the way here to deal with nervousness. Some of the concerned students would be gathering around the xerox shop near cafeteria. The whole semester they had not been to that shop may be. The bunch of notes and matrix xeroxes would pile up beyond imagination.

PARAMETERS 1.xvii - The Bathroom Poster

Somen and Hubba had also become aware of the Surabhi and Satabdi issues after the diary expedition incident. It was a patent referral when we tried to disturb Pinky. Pande and I never got bored doing that and each time Pinky realised what a mistake he had done by writing the diary for one day. One fine evening we decided to improvise our prank. Hubba had new inventory mind in terms of pranks. He suggested that we make an art poster which clearly indicates Surabhi ghee and Satabdi train..Pande got excited. I was at the edge as I knew Hubba was good at art and this was a masterpiece plan. We decided to extend our level by posting this poster on the bathroom wall so that everyone has a view of it but hardly anyone would get the meaning because no one knew about train and the ghee. But the very modern art concept that although hardly anyone would understand would make Pinky mad and terrified..

PARAMETERS 1.xvi - FM 93.2

The month of October had ended. We finished our self extended holidays and were about to join back college after the diwali. Some of the students had come back earlier and after joining back I realised that they even celebrated Diwali on the hostel roof by burning crackers. After a lot of days I would be back to my own territory. It was like a homecoming feeling. The opening of the lock and giving up my body on the bed with a thump had a backhome kinda relief. It was odd but true.

I was still lying on the bed  , still not changed my clothes into something comfortable and not even unpacked my bag. Pinky and pande had already arrived a few hours before me. They were in the next room. Pinky had come in between and said a loud energetic hello to me , to which I replied lazily... " hey.!! Where is everyone? What are you guys doing ?"

PARAMETERS 1.xv - Diary Expedition - part 1

I had already told about my diary writing habits before. I had acquired that habit right from class 11. I used to bring my diary in college even and would write all the happenings of the day, my likes and dislikes , the events that bothered me or made me happy.

One evening I opened my almirah to take out my diary and write as usual. Priyankar and Pande entered the room after some time and stood curiously beside me.

Priyankar asked me , " Hey are you writing some class notes ?"
I never wanted to disclose about my diary but in a hostel its very hard to keep a secret. So its useless to tell a lie which would be eventually caught.

"No.. I write diaries. It just a hobby."

PARAMETERS 1.xiv - The Deadly Dream

Somen and I had interacted a lot after we decided to be room mates for the 2nd year. We would talk about the NCC camp he went in high school days. He had faced a lot of trouble when he said about that once in PT fall in as he was made the group captain and other batchmates made a lot of fun by calling him "captain muhury " and also "commander" . But I was a safe person he knew to discuss . Somen was coming out of his all the time irritating expression slowly and he started getting himself open to fun and pranks we were making.

After the evening snacks we were getting bored as Pinky and Pande had gone to the library to return the books as they were due. That was the only reason I hardly issued books. They would lie in the corner of a table and then you have to remember to renew them before one week or else you would be fined. So it was useless and besides Pinky was quite serious about LIBRARY so I would manage books from him. I was the laziest person one can ever imagine. Pinky and Pandu would get mad by seeing the most laziest attitude I had.
