"Khambe pe charh ke"

                          First day of classes and Orientation

"Here is your roll number slip, congratulations, you are now officially a student of IEFR," the Convener of Admissions  droned as he passed me the piece of paper on which my roll number was written. Wow. Talk about the nerve on that guy. I managed to twist my lips into a shape that passed off as a smile. God knows it was a sarcastic smile dripping with malice. The guy had me waiting for a day and a half after finally giving it to me. Well, I wont be dealing with him anymore though, so, silver linings people, silver linings...
Anyways I headed off with Faraz, who I decided was going to be my new best friend, to the CS department and voila!, it was the most beautiful department I had ever been in. Unlike the other departments whose walls and class rooms screamed monotony, our department was aesthetically colorful and nicely designed. After I had overcome my awe (quite like Harry when he first saw Hogwarts) I entered the classroom. There were like only four girls and seven boys. All of the others had taken their roll number slips and had left. *tsk tsk*  Such Idiots *tsk tsk*.  The first class that I attended was Programming Fundamentals. The teacher was himself  CS graduate from IEFR. We had a jolly good time discussing computing and programming and it's practical implementations.
After the class there was a break and we headed for the Canteen otherwise known as HFC, had a cup of tea there and returned back to our classes.
We were told to move to another classroom for our Orientation. The teacher, this time around was a Ma'am Tooba, or at least that's what her name was I think. She explained for an hour about the importance of computer science and yippity yippity blah blah blah, no offense, but I was not quite listening to her as much as I was looking at the two guys who were trying to set up the multimedia for our Orientaion.
Phir chutti ho gye, or bahir Electrical Engineering k bhai log fooling krne k intezar mein khare the. "a bhai new comer, teri lgta he fooling ny hui, idhr ao aur apnee life history btao. saath lgana he khambe pe charh ke" I started the story of my life and ended each sentence with "khambe pe charh ke". After I had told enough to make them laugh, they told me the usual "aaj se hum tumhare bhai hein, vgera vgera".......
