CIT SAGA - Part 2
I was allotted to C-section in my first year by the RMG of my college (IT professional nah..).There were close to 100 people in my class and i felt very timid in front of them.all were total strangers to me. I did not have even a single schoolmate or classmate of mine in CIT.Being a government college there was equal distribution of students from both rural and urban areas. i was a 5'8 50 kg 17 year old kid over there and most of the guyz over there were 6 footers with a well built body(in tamil you call it as kattu masthaana aalu) and with thick moustache.on seeing those moushe's i immediately rubbed below my nose only to find it as plain as a steel plate.but these guyz were extremely friendly and i in a very short span of time got very well along with them and made some real good thick friends.the class comprised of about 80 boys and 15 girls.Being an government college and that too engineering college it was really very rare to find good looking girls.Hey girls,dont swoop down on me...i admit the boys crowd also did not also comprise of handsome hunks but of coz in comparison with them we stood out of course.maybe the larger population helped us maintain the edge.But some of the girls were real friendly and it is hard to get such people like that and i was lucky in finding one such good female friend in first year who now also happens to be my colleague.So with respect to bird watching CIT did not offer much scope and the poor guyz resolved themselves to their fate.but leaving apart the trivialities like bird watching there are umpteen more things which made CIT Life a dream life.
MY hostel room was P-205 and ironically it was the same room in which my father stayed before 28 years.. . (father is also an CIT alumnus..). we had a TV in first floor and which was subsequently removed from that place due to a minor quarrel between two hostel inmates.since i joined a week late i got a single room .Must consider myself very lucky coz other rooms had three people per room.it was really a very small room and of coz 3 people meant it was overcrowded.
About my First Year Hostel
Name's Palani....Palani Hostel.... . it had close to 80 rooms with 220-240 inmates.The name of the watchman is Dicky coz he has a real big ass.comprised of 3 floors.TV in first floor near balaji's room.Had TV for the first two months and evryone very badly missed it when vijay TV screened KS . !@#$@#%#$%$....a mistimed fight between two immature first years cost us dearly. But this gives me a reason to laugh thinking about the incident which happened on the fateful day when the movie was screened.
First two months there used to be a huge rush at the bathrooms as there were only 3 bathrooms for 80 students.so we needed to reserve ouur places.people used to keep alarm clocks at 4 wake up keep their buckets in a line and then wake up at 5 and used to bathe as per the position their bucket was.Some of the clever rascals liek me used to get up at around 4:45 and when noone was around keep our buckets in fourth or fifth place and then argue that we had placed it in the beginning of the row and hence were entitled to bathe first.but for doing this also we had to get up by 6.if you take bath after 7 the bathroom will be flooded with soap water and you have to wade thru the soap waters to take a bath.so much for sanitary conditions.but that taught us how to live in adversities and this was also enjoyable.
One thing i must admit coimbatore has a very cool climate and in early mornings it is too damn cool to even walk out and guyz used to take bath from 4-6.even i took bath around 5 am in my first month and then reduced the frequency to once in two days.BUT this process of buckets and queing lasted only for two months after which many of teh students realised that tamil nadu was facing a huge water crisis and played their part to perfection in ensuring water conservation.
