First Holi - In College

Monday 1st March 2010. The day was quite a nice experience as it was HOLI.

Usually, we celebrate Holi with colors and sweets; we start waiting for it from at least two months ago and start preparing for it a day or two before the occasion. Bizarre! this time I didn't even think of it. Desolation engulfed me as this time I was in my college first time away from sweet home.

The day started as usual. I woke up when sun was shinning head on..... Strangely, for the first time I went for breakfast without have a bath in college. And started watching 'Roadies' (reality of MTv) after returning back to the hostel. Actually, I wasn't deliberate to celebrate Holi and didn't even bother who were celebrating it. Eventually, my flank mates came and took me with them to BaBa.

Oh! Yes, 'BaBa', actually it is a meeting point of  smokers half a kilometer from  my college. Genuinely, it is heaven for smokers.We went there for have  BHANG. It cost around Rs.25/- per glass. Initially we ordered a glass for each one of us, we have that but none of us feels like we have drank a glass of bhang, so we thought for second but we didn't have enough money for us. Actually, we left with only 100 bucks and there were five guys to drink, I didn't remember how but we managed to arrange another 25 bucks and ordered for second one, we drank that too but still have no such kind of feeling that we drank two glasses of bhang, so we decided not to waste more money on this and move from there to college. This was my second time but, quite a nice experience better than first one. In between we met many of our college guys who were going to baba, but Of course! For bhang. After an hour or two, I felt some kind of drastic change in my health. I feels like my life get clogged and every frame of my life starts drifting blindingly slow pace. I didn't knew what had happened to me, I feels like my throat geting desiccated, I told 'Spiky' my roomie to get some water for me, I drank water and felt like I get my breath back but again the same thing happened. Actually, I was to not able to breathe properly. Then, somehow with the help of 'Lal' I reached to the washbasin and washed my face and it feels like heaven. It was around 11:45 in the morning and I had a strong dozy feeling but I knew, if I went on bed don't know when I m going to wake up so I thought of having lunch first and rest thing later. And I did so, I went for lunch, but while having lunch I felt like everything whatever it was running extremely slowly. As I started chewing chapati, I ate one chapati then second then third and so on till the number rises to nine. Actually, I was unable to control my jaw, it keep go on, it was out my command. So on that day, I managed to made a record of having nine chapaties at once.....hmmm.....nice one. Somehow, I finished my lunch and returned back to hostel, as I felt exhauted and dozy I went to bed around 12:30 in noon. And woken up by someone from comatose I didn't remember who he was, at around 7:30 in evening but I didn't fully recover, still I was in process of recovery, my whole body was aching. Somehow, I managed to get up, went to washbasin and wash my face. That was the moment I feel oh! Yes, I am safe....and went for having dinner, have it and return to my room. As I was not fully recover, I thought of a kip and once again went to bed.


So this was my story of First Holi In College.
This is all I m able to recongnize.
