Banasthali part 1

Have you ever seen a wide expanse of land and then its full of girls .
I am not talking about a dream of a perverted male ,I am talking of the real thing place which is the place for girls , they say its for studies and learning the culture of India , but for me its was a place where I learnt some important concepts of life . I am talking about Banasthali Vidyapith
A huge campus nearly 70 km northwest of Jaipur Rajasthan.A purely for girls institution.
If you climb up at the top of any building in the campus where you see you find the land for banasthali
I am not here to describe the land area or even the geography , what I am about to tell is the short version of the life I spent there
People will surely laugh because I am saying that 3 years were life ,but it was because I learnt a lot about life from that place
The journey started in my mind, every girl every boy has a dream a certain images in mind when he/she first imagines what college would be like ,I too had images taken from movies and shows which showed people lounging in canteens and a colourful place where an individual first begins the life making his /her personality a place of being myself without the pressure of parents .
And instead I reached banasthali, a village which followed gurukul like tendencies for GIRLS
I reached the place and all my dreams were shattered all I could see were rows of buildings and a tin shed instead of a colourful canteen
I was miffed at myself , I had made banasthali as a choice because I wanted to be away from parents from home so tht I could start finding my own way and look what a choice I made a village where we had to bring our own utensils and bucket for our own use.
I was with my parents who were trying to smile and make me feel good about a decision which I had taken on my own , after completion of my admission formalities I was allotted a hostel for biotech /Bsc bioscience first year .
I made a purchase of table fan and my dad slipped me my first mobile superciliously because mobiles were banned in banasthali(yeah in this day and age). We reached the hostel which looked like any other building and we were told to wait as the warden of the hostel whom we were to call “JIJI” was not available.i came out of the hostel to see a car standing beside our car and a girl who looked very elegant standing leaning on the bonnet . my cousin who had accompanied us to nudged me and promptly named her car wali ladki.
The next thing I knew what happened was that my parents and the girl’s parents started talking and they hit it off while me and the elegant girl who were most likely to be classmates were standing looking as if not caring but still appraising each other . there must have been something wrong with my face because she smiled at me the next instant , which broke the tension. The warden arrived that instant and we were asked to come inside
In side the room where warden decided the rooms we’ll take I and the elegant girl whom I’ll later know as veni became attached to each other and were granted the same room .
As I made my way through the hostel and to the room which was to be my home for next one year I felt a certain butterfly effect in my stomach , it was due to excitement or nervousness I can’t figure out.
The luggage formalities were all done and then I glanced back at my mom who had leave any second
Veni and I went downstairs to the gate of the hostel where both of us wished our parents goodbye , I felt tears stinging my eyes as I saw them go but I wiped them away and looked back at the hostel which was to be my home for new adventures and then with rising excitement I went back to my room feeling sure that this is what was to be …
