GoodBye JC 1

It was very sunny when i came here. I, along with the only guy i knew in Mysore, Anil :) , got down from the bus and we went to the hostel where we were supposed to stay. Chose a room, opened the door. New dreams, new ambitions with us, we were so excited about our life here in Mysore. Slowly a voice said, "Hi I am Kartik.. and you are..??" I still remember the taste of the wafers he offered us.

Friends for life.

Evening, a fair, not so tall guy approached me.
"Excuse me, what do they call curds in Kannada?".
I said "Mosaru..".
"Hi, I am Gautam"

Friends for life.


It all began with that day. I was a new guy to this place. It was beautiful. Gradually i stopped missing my parents. There, in that very own PushpaMahal, I found people who are not just friends for me, they are the guys who will make me go mad with their absence in the coming days. I am nothing without them.

The chemistry labs, the workshop, internals, going to the city, the last hour bunk, the yampa tea which i am so addicted to, the new year celebration at Pushpamahal, the linkin park songs completed my first year.

I was a new man after an year. I belonged to JC. It was everything to me. I could relate everything that happened with me to this wonderful place. IEEE SJCE happened and I knew my romance with IEEE SJCE would definately last long. I don't remember how the next 2 years passed. No clue.

The last year.

Dead tired I was sitting in my room after coming from class, I realised it was my last year in JC. There was a kind of urgency all over me. I was kiddish, stupid. I was thinkin of the ways to stay here.Huh...
