Unexplored Territories__IIT D Talks-The Beginning!

Late-Late-Late! It’s been quite a long time since I’ve penned down something in a different genre!

“Ishita-Sameer” are on a break [I mean it literally!-Some would understand.]They will be back in a few days and the fresh vibe of an even greater and intense love would re-appear! For the time being I’ve been pondering over something! Writing something on a purely realistic basis-If it’s something about Current Affairs you would definitely go for TOI or Hindu why should I bother to take this trouble upon me –it had to be something offbeat!

Again an experiment!-I have been doing them for a while and it all boils down to this last and final one!

{I suppose.}-Believe me this is quite interesting!

IIT-D: Great people! Great Mind! Great Mindset! Wait-The newspapers shall not report all aspects of the society and culture which prevails here ever! They’ll tell you about its “IoE” status and industries coming in for placements-But there’s lot more to the eye then what it seems!

{I won’t reveal everything either! It’s just my take on some irrelevant and highly misleading things which happen here at times}. Hold On and Read-The ride starts…..

In some X’s words! [Identity kept strictly intact.]

MAIN GAAYAK TO NAHI

MAGAR GAANE LAGAA THAA

MAIN SHAAYAR TO NAHI

ARZ MAGAR FARMAANE LAGAA THA

YEH KAISA NASHA THAA

JO CHAANE LAGA THAA!

·         The subtle joy of enjoying and cherishing a piece of beauty is mesmerizing and the same profound effect it did produce on me as I saw her in our first class.{ specifically for people who can understand and relate to this –NLN class}Love at first Sight does happen-It was not merely limited to fiction stories and Bollywood movies-  I had experienced it. She sat two tables away from me! The dullness of “Little-Boxes-ticky-tacky” transformed into a soothing melody. I kept staring at her as the song was played-luckily she was looking at the other screen. Those 2 hours were the fastest to run away form my life-I still regret not being able to dilate them! Anyways-things proceeded as usual-Weekly classes were not sufficient to initiate a conversation and carry it forward! Moreover she was busy with her own friends! Rigorous and an extremely demanding schedule was on the top of my head and alongside this a desire and hope to give it a shot! Message her once and start the conversation-Be good friends atleast! I couldn’t gather the courage anyway! It all passed by and landed me over there-I bet my last

opportunity to make it count! “For it was a chance not given by fate by acquired by dedication.”

In Y’s words [essentially a boy]:

·         It was my world! I wanted to make my sexuality count! Given that  I was interested in boys not girls was it right to sustain this thought within me? If people of so good a mind and such broad thinking could not understand my feelings then who else in this society would! They could be kept inside but not resisted for when I saw him-He appeared perfect! I could talk to him as a friend! Was that what I was dreaming of? No-not in any mood! I had to make him that one special person in my life! It was for this reason I decided to follow him their. How could he be with some other girl?

In Z’s words:

·         I liked her! Just wanted to express those feelings! Next day I sent her a message “I LOVE YOU”! She saw that-The reply never came though!  After this incident happened I met her twice in a lift all alone! Silence  prevailed on either of those occasions.

##Just that awkward feeling you get after having confessed it to someone! KATVAANE KE BAAD KAISA LAGTAA HAI! That day-it was manifested to an even greater level when I saw her in my hostel with someone else!

IN W’S words:

HAWAAON KA VO AHSAAS

DIL KI VO ARDAAS

HAR KARAM PE MERE MERA HI NAAM LIKHA HAI

FIR BHI! FIR BHI!

IS PARINDE KE AASHIYAANE PAR NAA JAANE KITNO NAI DASTAK DI HAI!

·         Life was so simple and easy! Chilling and hanging out with every other guy was my forte! Like I could gel in so easily with people! She was no other-Just an addition to the list of many. I never imagined things could go to such an extent in front of so many people!-It was her hostel. I was not the culprit! The destiny was-But who was to be ultimately blamed?

These four people didn’t meet before! It was in these Informals and Socials they met!

Informals: For a given hostel people from other hostels{ Girls for boys and vice-versa} are called with a broad bottomline of Ineractive purpose!} and in Socials people from other colleges are called for the same sole purpose and some other sidelined benefits!

Clash of these four people was disastrous and terrible! It did marked the beginning of many new stories and ended a  few of them!
