Place: Bharathidasan University Men's Hostel.
Year: 1999-2003
Hostel..
Hostel remains the most memorable place for anyone who has studied staying in a hostel.
In hostel a guy sees the big big world in a colorful panorama.
Me? Is it the same for me. I dont have big colorful moments or tear jerking dramas in my hostel.
I was a lazy bug those times. I always wanted to go home. I never had style and pretended had lot of substance.
But hostel is the place where youth displays itself in its full form. There was Love,Rivalry,Jealousy,Petty fights, Strikes, Sex, Exams, Movies, Tears,Fear, Show-offs, Religion, Teases everything.
Take my hostel.. It fits as any hostel of tamilnadu.
I had few major moments for my life in hostel
I got introduced to Ashokamitran,Puthumaippithan, Tolstoi, Kalachuvadu only at this time.
I felt life as meaningless at this time. But I know I was enjoying it. I never thought if life is so meaningless how can I enjoy it so much? How can I fear my exams so much (Even now I get dreams that I keep arrears and feel so scared).
Karmugil Lending Library was my source for books those days. Seeing a new book in their always made me feel so happy.
I never had big moments..No big loves Small loves, No big travels (Inever traveled more than tanjore), No big parties, No big problems too..
My life in college or hostel never was a piece of a Student's life in Tamilnadu.
But still it have so many small beads of memories rolling down my memory lane.
The sodium vapour lamps,
The long walks with friends,
The terrace moon,
The peacocks' mysterious voices,
The Philips tape recorder and the Shakti FM,
The Bard Fest
Everything makes it special.. More than anything it was the 'no responsibilties' feel that was underlying behind each and every moment makes those days more special..
Hmm.. Those were the days.....

Karmugil was also my source or to be frank cornucopia of books. Fortunately, I also had a membership in the University Library. Even the librarian in the University library used to comment that not even Tamil literature students, borrow the Tamil books. You forgot to tell about the Hostel days. Why don't you write a blog in Tamil bro?
