The same happiness is filled in another house in Andhra Pradesh. But here, it’s a girl who cleared the written test. Her parents were very happy. She is a somewhat shy girl, having lesser friends, but who don’t go out of touch at any point in their life. She gave a small treat to them in a local restaurant.
One month passed. According to their rank and order of preference, everyone has been assigned a NIT. Amala will be going into the NIT, which is 2000 Km away from home. Amala’s house was filled with anxiety
Mother – “Till now, she stayed with us. To send her that much distance. I won’t. We don’t have anyone in the neighbourhood. How can she live?”
Father – “No problem my dear. At some point of life, she has to go outside, meet new people and learn to be social. Why not now?”
Mother – “But, she is just a small girl”
Father – “Small girl. If anyone hears they will laugh at you. She is now eighteen. She has to know the world. Till now, she had seen it with our eyes. Let her see it with her own eyes”
Amala – “Please Mom. Please let me go. Please, please, please”
Mother – “Ok then”
Amala started jumping and dancing, hugged and kissed her Mom.
Mom – “But, if you don’t like it there, make sure you tell us about it. There are a lot many good colleges in our own neighbourhood. You needn’t worry about your future”
Amala with a confident poise – “I will definitely like it there Mom”
Don’t know whether it’s fate or coincidence, Montek also got into the same NIT. From now on, if I refer to NIT, it is this NIT, that both Amala and Montek were a part of. Although each one got a different branch(Major), in their first year, since they have common courses through out the university, they are able to sit in the same classroom.
An NRI also, from UAE, got into the same college. Her name was Diana.
NIT has internal hostels in it. All the girls are assigned one hostel, and boys being large in number are spread across seven different hostels. In first year, boys have to stay in a six seater room. These are the Montek’s room mates
Dan – This guy is from south. He wears spects and is very lean and geeky
Upman – This guy hails from UP. Never studied in a co-ed college before
Modi – Fattest guy of the room
Sheravan – A little less fat than Modi. He is from the same state in which NIT is situated
Akhil – Shortest guy of our room
And finally our
Montek – You know about him. A Sikh with a beard
The main protagonists were Amala and Montek, the rest were supportive actors. They come and go, as and when needed.
