I can't tell you exactly what I had been till a few months ago!! If you are still very curious about my past, you may better ask some friends whom I had during that time. If I have to name a few, it would be difficult for me. The reason is that I am trying to forget those days which I had wasted for nothing. Just like a bookworm or like a computer wizard (as my friends say) I was just spending whole of my time with computer. What I knew was programming, debugging, maintenance and reengineering. I was just like pupae or more or less like a tadpole! But then that it happened!!
I have now become a butterfly. Now I enjoy the depths of the oceans and the vastness of the skies just as a free bird does!
If I have to describe that incident, I have to narrate a big story.
During my +2, I had a very adorable role model, Riji. She is like a sister to me. She had been a motivator and had inspired me a lot in gaining something in life. I had thought of being like her. Since she had joined Sathyabama University, I too took the decision of being at the same university. My first few days at the college weren’t that pleasant. I didn’t feel home sick. But I was kind of frustrated with the new environment and I had felt some difficulties to get adapted to it. The senior folk that we had during that time were a sort of tough guys. A few times they had caught me and they had interrogated a lot about me. They had also used too much of vulgar in their conversation with me. To stand in front of them was really a nightmare for many of us because of the many experiences that my friends had at the college and outside from the so called seniors. In the fear of seniors and in the fear of the exams that were fast approaching the two semesters ended up so quickly.
The 2nd year classes started after a big gap of more than a month. The third semester was the period in which we became accustomed with the mood of the college. I made friendship with many of the third years’ and I was maintaining good relationship with many of them. But still, the final years’ were kept very distant and I had a fear about many of them even though I was no more a fresher. Thus the third semester was also gone.
After Christmas and the New Year eve of 2011, came that day which changed my life. If I had to go to my college from my home I will usually take the train. This time I had the ticket booked in advance. So did my friend Riji (the role model whom I had mentioned earlier) and her friends. You should not forget that they were the final years’. The only person whom I knew in the 4th year was Riji and I was not close to anyone else. Unluckily for me, as I had thought, they had got the berths closer to that of mine. I came to know about this from Riji, but it was too late. As I had already told, I was afraid of the 4th years and I wished to avoid them at any cost. So I exchanged my ticket with a 3rd year guy, Renjith whom I knew already. He had agreed to take my luggage with him since I was thinking of going by another train in its general compartment. So I gave him my luggage and I agreed that I will collect it from him at the Chennai Central. I did that to avoid my seniors and it ended up in a different way.
The train which my seniors took had been very late and I took the train just before that. I reached Chennai 5-6 hours earlier than the seniors. I had gone to a few places. Then I came back to the station to get back my luggage from the guy called Renjith, my senior. But he had already shown gratitude to me by telling the 4th year guys that I had given him the ticket to avoid their company. So I was caught red handed at the station. Then I had got all that I feared. (They didn’t do me any physical harm. I feared to travel with the final years’ because I feared that such instances may occur. But when they met me at the station, I had got everything that I wanted to avoid. Everything was for my good. Thank you Shoma chechi. )
“I have become a human now”. This is what my friends tell me right now. I had been an animal in the past or what??
