Ah well, VIT.
It's a kind of a bittersweet experience. It certainly is better than what you read about it on the net, but then there is something, forgive the cliche, missing. Maybe it's just that Kolkata raised the bar way too high(Cheers KVB mates!) or something.
When i was at home, the one thing that scared me (a delicate darling who'd never left home alone ever before) most about hostel life was the whole concept of common bathrooms. Fortunately, i don;t have a problem with the common bathroms here. No, not even when my current block ("E - Blaak") doesn't have those rods to hang the clothes from. One can hang clothes on the door. What i do have a problem with is people leaving their underwear behind (Even the lizard here says "Tch Tch"). I mean , How the hell does one manage to take all his clothes and leave the Jockey behind? Another pet grouch is unflushed toilets. But there's always a safe cubicle where one has written on the door- "Whoever doesn't flush the toilet is a Fothermucker". Talk about proactive.
On a completely unrelated note, have you ever noticed in moderate to large stations how the announcer(usually female) has a amazingly cool voice that sounds stitched together from different words(somewhat like the president speech in Die Hard 4, if you get my drift)? Always manages to cheer me up!
Until next time,
KK
