"Survival of the Fittest",and starting to write about such an enigmatic topic ( the enigma that almost turns into a nightmare for the newbies), I cannot not find a more suitable and apt phrase for describing it. A friend of mine actually suggested and I quote : "Jab bacchcho ko mard banana hai na usse dono jayga pe bhejo, NDA ya Engineering Hostel!!!!". Weekend mornings should best describe this place..the corridors are as empty and lonely as in a curfew situation with everyone dutifully tossed up in their beds even after noon. I actually have a feeling that people turn blind and deaf when they enter into a hostel. They are quite dutifully ignorant of the litter that they create in the rooms and move around them very precariously as if they are some form of priceless art. And speaking of deafness...it stems from a communist thought that any song played in any room is meant for the whole hostel to listen and appreciate. I do believe that people turn quite saintly while they live here..(if u leave the obvious adult stuff going on..its just another form of entertainment)...u will find people actually sleeping on the ground with a bed stacked with materials accumulated over a period of years and juxtaposed beautifully. I dont deny the fact that people ( homo sapiens of the outer world) may find these beings as eccentric...(I cannot decide if it is schizophrenia,paranoia or any other compulsive disorder or accumulation of all). But the fact of the matter still remains that these creatures are the ones highest paid after they graduate. I feel because the employers get an engineer, a night guard, a xerox machine, a machine which can cram loads of un-important imformation and a donkey all combined into one.
How is an engineering hostel different from other hostels ?????????????????
An important question nevertheless. The answer to this question depends upon the extent of your imagination. Imagine the life of the first humans. Living in caves, hunting for food, coming together into a herd, protecting himself from the dangerous animals while engaging in a battle for survival against the fury of mother nature. I hope I have given u the answer.
