College is over,now i wait at home for a new phase in my life.
Online on facebook, i read my friend's status updates.
Most of them talk of rain.I read my junior's update, they all thank their friends for the fun they had today in the rain.
These update remind me of my days in college when it use to rain...
As it rains today,i miss my college days.
The careful steps we use to take to keep ourselves straight.
Looking out through the windows as the class goes on.
Rushing out of the class as soon as the teacher gives us attendance and leaves the class.
Rushing down the stairs into the open air.
Closing my eyes and feeling each drop of rain on my face.
With each drop, the length of my smile increases in size. There are few days of rains which i will never forget...
The walk to nescafe for coffee,jumping from one point to another on the wet ground so as to we don't fall on the wet muddy ground.
I remember sitting out of the college gate near the chai walla and bher puri walla with friends waiting for our maggie and patty.
The weather was awesome and we all were in a good mood,laughing,talking and pulling each others leg.
Suddenly it started raining,we continued to eat our patty,few drops on our plate,water mixed with tomato sauce.
Then it started pouring read hard.Then it was all about ''my new phone is getting wet'' ,''shit my bag and books'' and another sitting in the car said ''you girls wana go for a drive?''
Bags thrown in the car,2 out of 5 of us go for a drive (only 1 wanted to,but the car owner was not willing to leave the car)
The class starts in 15 minutes,the careful walk from college gate to the class would have taken 5 minutes.
'You guys go,we will go to the class and tell mam that you will be late''
bhai calls for us to take our maggie before we could cancel it.
Maggie truly has some magic,you just can't resist.
Silver plastic plate half full with maggie and half with rain water,but still we ate it.
The best part was that my hands were dirty,a friend was making me eat it with her hand in the most sweetest way,how could i have said no to that...
And now with all the craziest, we rush for the class.
Bhai shouts '' paise?''
Bags in the car,car in the traffic,new cell phone in the wet pocket,sms in the new cell phone,''mam has come,come fast to the class'' in the sms...
Digging in our pockets,being able to pay the maggie walla and rushing to the class with still no bags.
Entering the class drenched and dirty,the happiness on our face and in our heart that would not wash off.
Asking for pen and paper for classmates sitting in front of us.
Our guy friend coming in class with 3 ladies bags...ha ha ha!!!
That laugh in the class and high5 that we passed,i will never forget those rainy days that we had in our graduation class...
