EYE 2 EYE

2003 Sep 22:

I had joined engineering in CIT. I was scared, dazed and confused, angry, happy and of course excited……………. Scared because, I had taken engineering after passing my PUC with 43% (It was like Venkatesh Prasad planning to score a century against Australia), Confused because, I didn’t even know either to study or enjoy my college life, Angry because, I wanted to take up BBM in Bangalore or Mangalore and had landed up in Coorg, But then I was happy in a way because I knew there would be some pretty looking Coorgi chick.
Two of my good old friends Pachith and Vijay (names changed) had also joined the same college. First day at the college, and I was in my own world. I was wearing a low waist jeans, red canvas shoe, and half sleeves shirt with an orange bag. I was in no mood to listen to the lecture and was busy checking out the girls in the class. Recalling my entire old pick up lines.

2nd day:
That was the second day in the hostel and Pachith came to my room. We started to talk about our old school and stuffs. I was not at all interested because I wanted to know if he had seen any good looking chick in the college. I asked him if he had seen anyone in the college. The way Pachith reacted, Gosh..!!! And the lecture he gave about why we shouldn’t see girls or talk to them and Blah blah… Alas..!!! pissed me off big time.

2nd week:
Days passed by and I was busy in my own world. Suddenly one day pachith was talking about a girl whom he felt was staring at him and I happily joined the conversation. But the issue was, he didn’t like any girl staring at him and he wanted to scold the girl who used to stare at him everyday. The whole day I was laughing thinking of it and also had messaged some of my old school friends to tell this funny story of pachith. I was very curious to know who the girl was. I always forgot to ask pachith about the girl in the class room.

3rd week:
We used to travel in the college bus from our college to the hostel which was about 9 km away. We used to have a mind blasting time traveling to and fro in our college bus and Yeahh..!!! Pachith started his story all over again, and I curiously wanted to know who the girl was and stuff. Pachith said” I sit in the left row 3rd bench and the girl sits in the middle row last bench , when ever I turn back I can see her staring at me and sometimes even smiling, Monday, I am going to scold her for sure “. I said Pachith not to scold her because he is lucky that some girl is hitting on him.

Monday:
We reached our class at 7:45 and Pachith saw the girl sitting alone in her bench. Pachith walked to her and started scolding her. That was the first time he was talking to a girl in the college. He was so damn nervous and didn’t even let her speak. After 5 mins of continuous bombarding, he took a deep breath and I noticed that the girl was not looking at him and was looking at me. Pachith got pissed off and started shouting at her all over again. Yet again, she wasn’t looking at him. That is when we came to know that the girl was a squint and used to stare at the black board and not at Pachith. It was such a embarrassing moment to my friend Pachith.

This was the blockbuster joke of the year. It was in air till 2007.
