CONFESSION ROOM

YEAR – November 2006
PLACE – ET-Hostel, Sec-6,Near Chinmaya Degree Collg., BHEL, Haridwar
Just after spending few weeks at the hostel, we went back to home for Dussehera and Diwali vacations and when we came back we were still getting acquainted with each other and the chemistry was still developing for an epoch. we, the students of flat no.45, 46 and 48 decided to have some fun on the weekend and convinced our beloved(:P) supervisor D***O(His real name was Jitendra) to allow us to carry the mess television to our rooms through backyard late in the night. We promised him to return the TV, early in the next morning but much to his dismay we were asleep and he had to come to our room after his seven to eight missed calls. We also included Pawan who lived in room no. 11 in the plan as he had the CD player then and we needed it. Next time we needed the TV, D***O refused and the onus was left on pragmatic yogesh to convince him and Voila! He agreed. But the trouble didn’t end here. Right at the climax of the movie somebody knocked at the door at 2 A:M and everyone was like ” Sssshh!! Ssshh!! Don’t shout, switch off the TV! Don’t Panic!”. With everyone in terror, Ravi opened the door and it was our NIKHIL at the door. In his usual style Nikhil first gaped and then exclaimed “Arrreeeyy TVVVV Vv!” and I thought “Is he from the village of Abhishek Bacchan(from MUMBAI SE AAYA MERA DOST)? Why such a reaction? ”.Much to our relief, he returned to his normal breath rate soon and we resumed our show with some flashback (Nobody bothered to ask him and neither did he tell why he came at that time). And no prizes for guessing, next day everyone from the ET Hostel knew that a sin was committed last night and the funniest part for me was when somebody (I don’t remember the name exactly) asked me about it and I said ” Kya baat kar raha hai? Aisa kaise yaar? Mujhe to pata bhi nahi chala.. ” but all our attempt went in vain and everyone knew that something was conspired last night.
On the next Saturday, movie JUMANJI was coming on some channel and the guys refused to submit the TV at 10 P.M (Official timing for switching off the TV) as it was a holiday next day and they wanted to watch the full movie. And then Mishra came up with a brilliant plan. Our warden (Mr. Mayank Agrawal ) was not in the hostel and we once again convinced D***O to give us the TV kept in the room of Mr.Agrawal and this time we were punctual enough to return the TV on time.
Anyways, Shruti came with the first computer of our hostel after 1st sem., which later turned into a radio (Take my tribute for that ENIAC shruti if you are reading this. I hope it is still alive) and we no longer went to D***O for the TV and we watched movies happily thereafter….. :)
