Sweet Memoirs of BIET Jhansi's Hostel Life

The time has passed so fast but the memories or say the “ADHYAY” are so many that it might not be possible to pen down each of them in this post.'A Home Away From Home' is probably the best way we can sum up the essence of hostel life in a sentence.

A student's life is a medley of getting up in the morning, having a quick bath, followed by a very quick breakfast, running to reach the college on time and staying awake at class and wishing you were anywhere but here (maybe at the Mamu or at CC).

The lifeline of the Hostel is the TV Room - be it a cricket match, movie or Rakhi ka insaaf :), the power output of the students is enough to shatter the glass.

By then it is 7:30 and you are looking for someone in the hostel - where do you go? Not anywhere but the Mess, which provides food for all who care to come and and also an opportunity to throw bowlfulls of sabji on others faces  if u feel like that the food is not good or the mess is too crowdy to eat,thus increasing ur public interaction substantially besides making u a fit contender for the javellin throw event for next CWG(i plan to throw rotis next time so that i may get a chance to participate in disk or discuss throw as they call it,who knows i might win a bronze !). For all those who don't and who are too broke to go out, you can visit the Deepak canteen -  for all those late night studying students and Maggi, Omelette, chips for those who want a midnight snack. But better get back fast as the clock strikes 12 and Boom! Its birthday time..... chocolate cake, ciggis,daaaru,beer sheer,murga shurga.. GPL the birthday bumps - are all part and parcel of a hostel birthday party, an unforgettable experience.

The most dreaded job, the nightmare of a hostelite - Washing clothes(fr me)

All in all, life in the hostel is a blend of ups and downs, sharing of emotions, developing the friendship of a lifetime or just becoming strong enough to face the world. This is a place where your friends are your family with whom you share beautiful memories you would live to tell!The hostel life for me started in august 2006 and from there on i"ve met with various people. Some very interesting and some even more interesting. In Saket i and some of my best friends Deepesh,Bareilly(Gaurav) and Hapud(Pankaj)resided in Room No G-5,G10 AND G-7...though later on all of us settled our butts permanently in Barraelly's room G-7of the hostel.Being freshers we started preparing for the IIT-JEE,though thats a different story altogether and i wish to put that small but a major part of my life later on,let me continue with some of the sweet memoirs of our Hostel lives beginning with Saket and moving on to others subsequently.
The first incident which comes into mind is that of ragging. Ragging was great fun. In one of many incidents,which Deepesh is not aware of even today,I was asked to put a big “Danda” near Hapud's’s “LING” and was asked to suck it! In another incident “Hapud” was made to run from one side of the room to another and was asked to blow horn at various virtual stops. Can you guess how he was supposed to blow horn—- By pressing his butts!!
One when I,Barraelly  and Haapud were walking in the campus when seniors like Nirmesh Tripathi sir and Mittal sir asked all three of us to sit on the road near kashyap canteen and pose like the three monkeys of Gandhiji.
Ha ha ha ha Barraelly was asked to be “Jo bandar dekh nahi sakta” and he closed his ears. WoW! said Tripathi sir!!!!
At that same time Hapud was running barefoot with slippers in his hands. Kya Scene tha!
Then in "MY" second year  In those 2 months there was so much negative energy in the room,the roomies were the great Mahipal and seedha saadha Manoj Yadav. The guy(Mahipal) cried on every little things. “Aaj Garmi nahut Hai”, “Kuch Samajh nahi aa raha hai”, “Mess ka khaana bahut jhaantu hai” etc etc were his few statements. later , people like Bhardwaj,Eshan,Rathore etc were joined by me  and thereafter started—-एक नया इतिहास जिसमे रोजाना एक नया अध्याय जोड़ा गया……..
@ One Night I, Hapud and Barraelyy were very depressed of having no girl friends while Deepesh was enjoying the life with Soooooooo Mannyyyyyyy.(deepesh sorry bhai,but hum logo ko yahi lagta tha :) 
Barrelly requested me to somehow find him one girl . I readily agreed and asked him to get dressed the next day in New Kurta and wait at the CC near NBH hostel. He was made to wait for couple of hours and drank atleast 4 cups of tea "ALONE"…….. and girl?....there never was agirl going to come for him :)……….
The same night when the discussion was going on, Barrelly  was sleeping but something happened and he suddenly waked and in a very बेचारी condition said to Deepesh– यार हमारा भी कुछ जुगाड़ लगाओ न……! I and everybody else laughed like anything seeing the face and ishtyle of Barrelly.


@Manoj yadav saahab को बीच बीच में कुछ हो जाता था. एक दिनों वोह मोजे पहन कर सो जाते थे तो कभी सर पर रूमाल बाँध कर, एक दिने GYM जाते थे तो एक दिनों दूध पीता थे…….. एक बार Cricket खेलते थे तो अगले दिनों सन्यास गोषित कर देते थे…… Manoj Yaadav Saaheb was just an amazing personality.
But he was like an elder brother to all of us and was very dear to g-5,g-3 and g-2 rooms.
@ एक नयी भख पेली जाती थी in semester 2nd when Barrealy used to get mangoes for us from his home. खाने के बाद सबको message किया जाता था………“आम पेल दिया गया है…..”
@ The real fun time was of the exams when all the people ran for some अज्ञातवास to study. Hapud used to teach new “AASANS” to cope with the examination fun.
@ Remember that Manoj Yadav episode. He was very happy that finally a very sexy girl and his old friend had break off with his BF and was showing interest in Yadavji(him). Then one night he entered G-5 in under wear and said, “हमारा चूतिया कट गया , उसका तो पहले से ही boy friend है” All the roommates(BARRAELLY,HAPUD,ME,MAHIPAL,BHARDWAJ AND LAKHMANI) laughed a lot that night and enjoyed the Yadavji's various comments.
@ The “BAAP” of all Bakchodis was when Vats used to enter our room,comments by barraelly like"aur budhdhe ..hain...neend nai aa rai hai ...budhdhe sharam kar"pure envrnmnt ko khusnuma bana dete the yar !. In the mid of corridor what happened is known to few. Hapud must be laughing reading this(i hope he reads this junky-punky blog).
@ There was one incident in Movie restaurant.Waiter  clarified that there is no chicken available today but our dearest Barreally continued asking —-”चिकन है चिकन है “ he he.Waiter was irritated badly that time. Yaad hai BArrelly  kuch??


@. Why was Shivi Srivastava named Baba is also very interesting story. एक बार Baba की मूछों में एक सफ़ेद बाल देखा गया था और उसके बाद उन्हें Baba की उपाधी से नवाजा गया था. समय के साथ साथ वे पूरे कालेज में Baba के नाम से famous हो गए.
@ During the tour of South Africa in 2006, India performed very badly in the ODI series. Vats was so disturbed by the defeat that he pasted photographs of few SA batsmen/bowler and practised hard looking at them.


My all-time favourite real life incident is a story narrated here,day sunday 0ct the 12th 2006,Taj express


Once, i was travelling by the Taj superfast and because of some work wanted to get off at Datia. The problem with that was prevelent at that time was the fact that Taj would not stop at Datia(it was changed the next year). On realizing this, i pressed the panic button(matlab got frighttttuuuunnnnedd!!! ) and asked  co-passengers what to do. They comforted me and saying that there was no cause to worry. All fast trains slow down at dis station, and they would help him jump off the train. All he i had to do was continue running to maintain his momentum. Father Newton would take care of the rest.


So, i arrived and as promised,  was helped off the train. Remarkably for my age,mind and body, i timed my jump, landing and subsequent jog to perfection. Piece of cake. Now, in Jhansi(and nearby areas), when you see a fellow guy in need of help, the thing to do is to lend a helping hand. On noticing me running beside the train, the passengers in the next compartment did what comes naturally to them. They pulled me back into the train! HA HA HA HA despite me protesting to them....aur phir mujhe agra hi utarna pada!


Note: If u remember any of our incidents or lighter moments then write it in the comments. Lets’ remember all those funny moments.
