150 cr avenue... a location so marvellous that nobody staying in there can deny ... be it metro of mg road which some like kheria from our batch had mastered so well that even a minute here and there was not there..... plus 2 important railway stations are nearby howrah as well as sealdah as if its centrally located... easy to move in all around kolkata... be it any means of transport tram, bus ... metro etc...
i guess all living there know all this and i must not stress much on it...
some might think as if whats the reason behind my this post... i will just say that was feeling nostalgic about a place where i have spent say 6 years of my life...
now would like to share some facts and memories of my stay....
there are many things which i learnt and liked about the place but some topping my priority list are :
i have learnt to believe in god more religiously during my stay at hostel... be it our regular visits to nearby machua temple or other ones for special occasons such as kalighat,dakshineshwar, bhutnath, etc... it was dusring those days that festivals pata lagte the kab atey hai kab jaatey hai... kya kaise hota hai... getting falhaar in mess on shivratri was simply great.... visiting birla temple at night was quite unique... adding to the beauty was visit to churches during christmas time even when we had cs or cwa exams.
we were not just interested in present and future ... past stories ke charche bhi bahut the.. like ragging.... bhut.... etc.... topics kuch bhi ho.... log koi bhi ho...
khub adde chalte the....
one more great time was saraswati puja celebrations... be it rangoli,... murti bringing, decoration, arti, holi everything ... it seems tat thats the best we can ask for...
exam time was also a great learning experience... learning tips from seniors was an experience in itself... aise pad ... waise pad and alll... and i must say it hepled a lot.... plus it was great to watch people study with such dedication and planning ... a little tension do use to crop up here and there....
food changed a lot during the stay at hostel... earlier their was charm about special diet which gradually lost its sheen but still the standards were high than outside market... nasta was always fun with help of shivesh ji ,, biltu ji and mahendra ji... which was making us lazy day by day... adding to it was mohan ji and barber... kai baar toh kai dino tak bahar naa jaye tab bhi kaam chale....
plus hostel and its people help in getting recognition at tutions and colleges too... we also were able to capitalise and strengthen the history and legacy by becoming the part of same...
During my stay used to meet a lot of excellent people who have taught a lot in life, help me in time of support... at times it was difficult to cope with a few but somehow things were pretty wonderful... and great ....
the bonding was mindblowing as so many days have passed by but still it seems as if its a matter of yesterday only... at times it seems as if to have a sunday sandwich of shivesh ji... its still very interesting to know about hostel and its developments and happenings...
in hostel only i learnt some interest in volley balll ... and how to miss the thrill and fun of sports be it indoors like tt and carrom and badminton ... volleyball and cricket.. It was real fun to watch inter floor matches as if both floors were enemies since ages .... what a thrilll... i would say....
plus thanks to my sweet roommates for such a wonderful and mindblowing tiime.... room adda ... room party and all are still a part of memoriess... be it seniors like gaurav bhaiya, sumit bro, arpan da or juniors like akshay....anand ... vipul... vinay and vivek .... their cooperation and support cannot be denied....
a lot of credit goes to the batch mates too... and plus point was it was a awesome batch with less disputes regarding power ... though some may blame it for less work during tenure but still nevermind....
keshav to begin with is a great singer with good presentation skills be it singing be it marking the photos with dates etc.... nostalgic person who carries memories well... and to suit to his interest was singhal jisey pyaar se bhaga bulate the... loud songs like aditi used to play in his room... next in room was piyush ... thin lamartinere ...cheerful... leader like mess chairman and puja coordinator etc... jubin who has great chemistry with jain and was really commendable... could have learnt few stock market skills from him,,, next room was mine adjacent to library.... and then was our bcom champion pankaj... koi dharam bulaye ussey tab dekhna... next was our sweet chotu sumit who is busy with city bank now.... and to folllow is saurav... the married man.... next room was our batch adda room and most popular kheria used to live in there... and no one can forget the pomp and celebration of his birthdays ... with him was neeraj megotia.... the business tyccon... now practicing... good coordination ... in 11 was our smarty prateek... who got early with future first.... 13 belongs to lath.... who is rank material.... 14 is rahul who is tax champion... likes alu chokha and alll... pyaaj masala.... 15 is natu pankaj.... great company and support ... you just ask him and he will never say no..... then begins the 2nd floor..... piyush lohia ... known to speak less but yet quite good.... giving him company was our studious guy who i feel was encyclopedia none other than ayush... who bought pride with his ranks... in 20 was kunal sultania.. mba guy... 21 was our president vikas who is jolly and supportive,,, who we called vishnu.... 22 belongs to sandeep ... different yet quite intelligent... 24 mein bharech tha... good... knowledge.... 25 me gaurav... who was real fun..26 me apna gharelu doctor vikkky urf nirmal.... quite a helpful person... 27 mein jindal babu who also was good company ..... and 34 belongs to kedia.... from malda... was good to hear his marwari... ...nostalgic too about hostel....
special thanks to room mates of room 15, 10 also who have also adjusted a lot and given us lot of space in their precious life....
the batch was a mixed blend with people from all places and of different kind yet they adjusted marvellously with each other in a common roof for a common goal callled ca... the cooperation helped a lot.....
not to forget the ram vilas ji and ganesh ji whose phone calls attending and security etc was good.... agm and egm etc was also quite a political experience....
watching the road from the terrace was really good... watching cricket match in mess.... some things become quite a part of sweet memories....
though i may not have named many people who were so crucial during my stay... but thanks to them in totality ... directly or indirectly a lot was being done by all....
i wish all the best.... to alll.... associated with it.... we may have parted ways to different places and organisations with different priorities and roles... yet i always feel ki somewhere down the mind we are still connected deeply to the place and people who have given us a lots..... no matter what no one can take poddarians out of us....
thanks for reading my views.... keep smiling ... keep rocking ... keep enjoying life...
