If i remember it correctly,it was the end of August or the start of September in 2006.I had known for quite some time that I had to go to a hostel.I had done my entire schooling while staying with my parents and brother, and was thus a little sceptical about staying in a hostel.I had heard my parents and my elders saying that hostel life is very important for all as it is during this time that a person learns the problems faced when you are away from your closed ones and thus coming to terms with leading life alone.When I arrived in college on the big day,it was raining bonkers and there was water all over the place.My mom,dad,uncle and my little brother had also come with me.Since we were a little new to the place,we had a little problem coming to terms with the place and its surroundings.After getting my books and blazer,i went to the hostel.When I arrived at the reception,they checked the roomlist and informed that my room was in the 3rd floor.I asked him about my other roommates to which they replied by showing me the name of 3 guys.One of them was Tyson John.Listening to the name,i had a feeling that he will be big stud cos I had the perception of Mike Tyson.But I must say that he is one of the coolest guy around in collg.Anywayz,wen I entered my room , I straightaway took the bed near the window(which is supposed to be the best in the room).And incidentally,there was a clear sight of girls hostel from the window(this proved to be quite a tourist spot for the few days ,until the window was sealed,Lolzzl...).My mom helped me in setting up my bed(I mean she did it all)and my Cupboard along with it.I kept my stuff and went back to the hotel in which we had lodged.This was my first impression of the 4yrs of Engineering life which was beckoning in front of me.
So,coming back the next day,I saw my bed occupied by Tyson.Very unwillingly,I had to tell him to move from the place.That actually made my impression a little bad cos he must hav thought that I am one more of those guys who fights around the whole day(hope the perception has changed now).Thereon i bid gudbye to my parents.I was nt dat sad,but i knew that i wud really miss my brother,and i still do.Following that day,we had two days of Orientation,which officialy marked of my collg lyf with me having no idea bout the glorious days of fun,friendship and a whole lot of new bonds which i was going to make... :)
