Memories.......

I have been in hostels since I was in 6th standard. It has been around 14 years now outside the home & as far as I remember the longest duration for which I stayed at home continuously during this time was arnd 3 months.

Have stayed in various hostels, in rented rooms, single or twin shares basis, hostels with up to 20 guys in one single hall, rooms with very good neighbors & landlords, rooms with worst landlords, mosquitoes, with or without fan, Common or separate toilets & many more.

Ate food at different messes, tiffins, self made sometimes and sometime by cook also.Ate rubber like chappatis, tasteless curries, pani & kankad wali dal.

Tasted & seen so much in life, met with of many people, made many friends, guys who never studied & managed good grades, guys who only studied but were never able to get good grades, guys who were great painters, dancers, singers.
Many memories are associated with my hostel life (both in school as well as collage). Some were really joyous and pleasant at that time & now also, & some were dreadful at that time but seems funny now. What i felt to leave home for the first time , then how was it to go 2000 kilometers from homeland to study @ God’s Own Country for 2 years, whose language & culture was very much different from mine. Then there was Engineering Collage…the fear of ragging & The Ragging. :)

There is so much that I can write some thing on each event & moment. So I have decided that I will start writing all my past memories, memories which are deep inside my HARDDISK.

The problem is, I don’t know how and from where to start so I have thought that I will start randomly and write whatever comes to my mind. Also one more thing I m uncertain abt is should I publish it on blog or shd write on paper. Hope I can get an answer soon from inside.
