So the next happening thing in the campus were the CSA elections....

CSA is the Council of Student Affairs...... it was announced that there will be elections in each hostel for the post of four representatives....namely... cultural,mess,maintainence and sports.....

I thought this is something I can go for...... Not getting into any club or department doesn't signify that I am a bad politician... ;-) ... now the next thing to think was which post should I really go for..... Cultural was not an option I guess... I'm not into singing,dancing or anything like that......

Mess----- sounds extremely boring..... Flint--- mess representative of AH6 (the name of my hostel)...naah!!!!

Maintainence----haah !!!! impossible....I can't maintain myself... forget about the campus...

So the only thing left is sports..... although I am not a very good player of any sport but I thought its better than the other three at least.....

I filed in my nomination the very next day..... and then began making my agenda and stuffs.... I was helped a lot by my telugu friends.... they were...

1) Hemanth (with an extra 'h' in the end... but he says that's the way to spell it... again the wastage of a letter to increase the size of names:-) )

2)Santosh ( with a perfect body which can be kept in bio labs for the demonstration of skeletons.... or may be the 8 pack abs...err .... rather 8 pack ribs)

3)Vikram ( a big football freak.....Chelsea fan... and a football himself....with a weight of 187 lbs--85kg)

4)Vijay (well don't really have much to make fun of him... cuz he is neither 187 lbs nor has 8 pack ribs nor has a single extra letter in his name.... so vijay you just landed safe in this blog)

there were a few more who helped me out but I can't name all of them but I'm sure they will be introduced in this blog someday or the other.........

So I made a pretty decent agenda and campaigned well enough and as a result of which I won the elections... Yessss I became the sports representative of my hostel.......

Now the question was--> will it help me in any way to get "a girlfriend in campus"?????

next post feb 08.. ;-)

well I was just beside her at the registration table was looking at her from the corner of my eye..she was signing on some document.She had a small purse (or whatever) in her left hand and a cell phone in her right hand which she had to keep on the table for sometime so that she can sign....
right then her cellphone vibrated...
I looked at the heartbreaking N-72 screen that said..
love
calling....
She picked it up right then.... "hi dear i'm busy right now in college,will call you tonight"
...And there was end of one of the shortest love stories u can ever come across..and that's actually the reason why I didn't mention it earlier..it was so short that now I consider it as negligible seconds of my life I don't know why did that call come right then...and why the hell did she save the name as "love" .....I mean that is sick...can't u just call your boyfriend by his name....why this nick....that can break hearts within seconds?????
Its kind of an impossible event. Its really weird as to how did I look at her cell phone right then....
The instance reminded me of Uday Chopra in Dhoom and Dhoom-2...the way he dreamt and the way all of them shattered in seconds...I guess someone has said it right....
"Hamari zindagi bhi hindi filmon ki tarah hai........"
but that's the way life goes...so let's just forget that....the incident has zero importance in the story except the fact that it showed how bad was my "bad luck" from the beginning.....its really sick.....I guess that was just a way of god to tell me that
1)I am going to stay single for long..or/and
2)may be that all the idiotic impossible incidents(lets call this as III. cuz I'm sure I'll have to use it in future) can happen with me in future as well....
I tried to console myself that may be "Love" is actually a name....
"may be her brother's name is Love"..I thought...
but I knew very well its all useless so lets just forget it....Lets just remember the earlier page for the introduction of my friend Devavrata.........
Keep checking ...next post on its way.....

Anyways..the weeks passed....I didn't mention anything about any of my friends...so let me begin with that ......I can't keep on writing the gf stuff and my intentions all the time.....so let me go back a few days...i.e., July 31st.....
It was the registration day for the first yearites...we were to go to the library according to priority nos. alloted to each student. While roaming in front of the library I came across this guy...."Devavrata"...(the name is pronounced as devrat)...weird spelling but I thought its one of those superstitions like the one Dinesh Karthick uses.......a "c" for free.....strange....don't know why people make their names longer by adding letters....
anyways I asked him "what is your priority number??"..asked about what's his branch and where was he from...It turned out that he was from the same branch as mine...the first guy I met in the campus who was in the same branch....I used to see him in the corridors of my hostel and thought that he was amongst the nerds...but well I WAS WRONG ....(yet again).....he was/is a cool chap......so by this time its quite clear that I was most of the time wrong about many things...........
Well right there at the registration desk I saw a female ...... a first yearite........ and then all what I was able to say was
"beautiful"
and.......
There I fell in my first love..........again :-)
but what happened next was not expected.....

I had to do something impressive in the college....I told to myself....but days were just passing on...The first month in the college going smoothly...I attended the lectures.. didn't bunk many...but I never opened a book in my room...the only sound of pages being turned in my room came from a few magazines that I had.....(don't ask the names..but they were great time pass) .....still if u think that "I was a good boy who attended lectures and therefore must be regular with the course"...then let me tell you that you are absolutely wrong........Everyday I went to the lectures....sat somewhere in the centre of the middle row benches(most of the girls sat there according to my Week 1 observation).....in a hope that someday a girl will come and sit beside me and finally I'll have a chance to begin a conversation....but I don't know why .......no one sat......always made me think why is my bad luck so bad...or was it that someone leaked it out in the girls hostel that Flint doesn't take bath regularly???????......I always used Set Wet Zatak....sometimes The Axe Effect (but no effect ever)......so you can't really say that I used to stink that's why girls didn't sit beside me....but it was a research topic for me

Well I got to know a lot more about my college in the first week...what are the stuffs that happen in college....by stuffs I mean the college festivals and the various clubs and departments in the college which are run by the students. I was really interested in a few of the clubs.The club owners and co-ordinators were hiring students. The whole of the campus had posters of all the clubs and departments notifying about the inductions and the process etc etc. I went in the inductions ofDoSM.."Dept of sponsorship and management"----> Not selected
DePP.."Dept of publicity and public realations"----> Not selected
Dance Club----> Not selected
LDC----> Not selected
so after gaining a great amount of experience..... I came to the conclusion..."I can't get into any Club or Department.........so I myself will form one"And there was my first Department on its way..... DoJ--"Dept of Jobless".....no need of posters.no inductions..everyone was invited but the only eligibility criteria is that he/she should be jobless........

All these days I checked out the college...and the females here as well..... I am quite bad when it comes to making girlfriends... I've got a few examples
Std VIIth---- Somya Sinha.... my first crush....
I asked her once.."would you like to be my girlfriend??"
reply----> "No"
Std IXth---- Priya Sharma
same question
reply----> "are u crazy?"
Std XIth----Naina Kapoor
reply----> "go to hell"
Std XIIth---- Preeti Sahay
reply---->"f**k off"
It shows as I got older the intensity of the replies from the opposite sex variated....
But
But
But ..............I was not a loser.....and that was the reason why I had my next mission ready............
A mission which was quite impossible....and after 4 earlier rejections I would rather name it as Mission Impossible 5------ " A GIRL FRIEND IN CAMPUS"------

August 02,2008
Well the first lecture of my college life.....like all good boys I too woke up right on time.....but like all lazy boys slept again as soon as I woke up.......somehow managed to get to the lecture theatre..after sacrificing my bath....wow!!!! It is not that I am the only one in college who doesn't take bath....but yeah I was amongst the very few who didn't take bath on their first day of lecture. Still I appreciate myself for the fact that I don't change with the passage of time.....My first day and the second ...and the third.....all went similar.
Anyways coming back to the 1st lecture....the theatre had about 250 students in it..all were excited,happy,joshilay..and well bathed I guess!!!!! I took a seat on the second last bench.....I didn't want to be a last bencher from day one...so I sat on the second last bench.I thought there will be students who would love to sit on the last bench but I WAS WRONG..(again).....forget about the last... no one cared to sit on the second last..so ultimately.....my second last bench was the last bench and as a result I was a last bencher from day one......but well the view was excellent from there...I can view all the females in the lecture theatre from here...and that was what I did till the proffesor arrived.

I roamed in my college for 2-3 hrs....was really happy...thought I would love to spend my years in this college...and I was looking forward to it........
July 29th,2008
Well it was quite an important day...I was going to take admission in the college today....my parents reached Goa on the same date in the early hours...I reached my campus and then began with all the formalities etc.......... By evening 6....all the procedures were done and I headed for the orientation ceremony in a large auditorium.....and now I began looking here and there..who r the freshers....specially the girls....and how many are beautiful??? I didn't see many that day...which reminded me of a t-shirt quote.... "99% girls are beautiful.......rest are in my college"...
BUT I WAS WRONG..........

Page 2

After a nap of 2 hours I woke up......due to the call of my elder brother...I talked to him and then just thought to have a visit to my college where I will be taking admission... although I had to take admission on the July 29th..I wanted to see the campus once.....
I got out of the hotel and as soon as I did that ...I found a guy on bike stopping right in front of me....
"Kahan jaane ka hai???"
well....Goa has a lot of modes of transport....taxi,auto,bus....quite common but yeah bikes as well....that was something I never saw before but I thought its quite cool.....I told him that I would like to visit my college".......BITS PILANI GOA CAMPUS...........".....and off we went...

...

Now my college is actually situated on a highway..so I was on the bike with the guy...at a speed of 60kmph...... the guy was singing a song.....u can guess which song he can sing.....

"DHOOM MACHALE DHOOM MACHALE ..........." and was also giving the background music.....

He was happy with his bike I guess even though it was not Hayabusa but just a Hero Honda

July 28th
I got down from the train.... a completely new city for me....I had never been to Goa before...so I was more of excited than scared of being in a new city...It is a great tourist spot of course every one knows that......It was raining ..although not heavily.....but i liked it...I knew there would be many hotels near the railway station.... I stopped near a coffee stall..and asked the guy there ..."where can I get a hotel here???"...........
his reply--"every where"
made me think that was a dumb question to ask...... but I can't make a fool out of myself....so inquired again
"which is the nearest hotel and where is it??"
now this time I got a reply...
"take a left as u get outside the station and then go straight and then a right.."
"shukriya".............I replied
I had a cup of coffee ( although i don't like coffee,but the guy helped me so I thought to repay him....cuz thanks is not enough these days)..anyways I took the pathway he suggested ....the streets were not so busy as I had earlier expected...I thought I will witness many foreigners as soon as I go on the streets but nothing like that was observed...............I reached the hotel.....the room was available..so I checked in....got fresh and then..................slept.
