When I look back at my hostel life !!

Life then !!

There is so much to say about the best days of life that it is difficult to put it on a piece of paper.There is hell and heaven difference between life 5 years ago and life now. Life was then so carefree with no responsibility at all and so full of fun that I go on record to say that those were and will always be the best days of my life. But this is how life is meant to be...

College is replaced by Office and tuitions by training
Jeans and Tee by Cufflinks, neck tie and formal shirts
Tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks
Few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe
Single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger
Small tea shop changed to cafe coffee day
Limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package
Mobile handset to blackberry
College note book changed to Laptop
and Report Card to Appraisal and PMS .


Life now and Life then!!


Life meant: one home, one road, for all friends, 150 C R Avenue(my hostel)
Life meant: CA, St. Xaviers College and article ship
Life meant: Roaming in corridor till 3 in the morning & struggling to attend college at 6
Life meant: Bunking college, Saturday test and to office at 10 AM
Life meant: Tuitions, CA Sunday test, and 3 months serious study for CA Exams
Life meant: One day leave for Bcom Exams, 1 night, 1 book and 18 duffers to read
Life meant: Late night parties @ Ajad Hind Dhaba,B’day parties @ Jakaria Street,hostel mess,
India hobby center late night party one night before Bcom Exams.
Life meant: Diwali in hostel (all thanks to CA Exams), New Year in hostel (CS exams)
Life meant: Countless parties at best restaurant in town, CA final Champagne party,
Life meant: Saraswati Puja, Freshers’ Welcome Day ,Annual Social Function & Ragging days
Life meant: 1St Floor Vs. Second floor cricket match / volley ball match and hungama
Life meant: Endless fight between 1st floor & Second Floor on trivial issues…
And now life means only one thing:
Old friends, separate cities, separate lives and endless effort to earn money.
