My Hostel Life!

More than 9 yrs of my life were in different hostels...I have really lost count of their numbers...but any one who would have been a long time in hostels ,would agree with me that its really a wonderful place to get true friends... I got really a handful of true friends from there, who literally cried with me, laughed with me and even fought for me. They stole food for me(good food is a rare commodity in hostels !!), covered for me,(when I came late)...and what not, they did for me!!! 
The rules were always for us to break! The walls were always for us to jump! (at least, we thot like that!!!)

Where I stayed, our warden who was a nun, would switch off the light at 9:30 PM. And it was her strict rule, that we should never stay in others room for more than 10 mts. After switching off the lights, she will come for her usual "rounds", to check if any one of us are in others rooms. She used to count the no:of inmates, to check. I never stayed in my room...room # 25 was my camp! When she starts her rounds, one of our msngr friends(who saw her first) will inform us thru a code word. It was "the elephant has come!!". One nite she suddenly appeared in front of our msngr that she couldn't warn us, in time.

Room # 25 was actually packed with 7 girls...we were shouting and laughing and playing "antakshari", in dark..(cos after 9:30, there were no lights!). When she came and knocked our room, we had only 2-3 seconds to cover the extra 4 girls(which included me!!).

We acted like BSF jawans in warfront!!!!.....2 girls went under 2 beds, one girl got inside the cupboard...and what was left was me...i suddenly dropped asleep in a bed side corner...and when we opened the door, everything was normal and silent...but our warden knew that the noise didn't come from just 3 girls..she began to check carefully...now under one bed, we had a bucket and the girl who went there accidently rolled it ...and ohhhh.....she caught her....next came, one from under the other bed and the one inside cupboard!!! (we actually thot, she cudnt see us, clearly in dark!!) . Now she saw me, fast asleep(I was good, in that act!!!!)...and what happened next was unbelievable she began to shout "don't u girls have any pity for this poor thing, who is sleeping in the midst of u devils!!!! She is tired after her work, and u ppl wont give her peace not even to sleep?bla..bla..bla" .And after 10 mts of non-stop firing, she went, threatening to take action against us(not me!!!)....I was dreading this moment....the moment she went all the other 6 girls pounced over me like 6 jaguars over a small kitten(me!!!), for my "poor little creature" act!!!

After more than half an hr of pure torture, like a POW from an enemy camp, I went back to my room...!!!

They were saying(during torture!), that my laugh was like "Kroor Singh"  in "Chandrakantha" (who is a monster in that serial!), which attracted our nun, and the penance were paid by them!!!!
