College Time memories

It was the eight semester and most of our batch mates decided to go IIT Mumbai for Final year projects. Lucky chaps, i decided to enjoy the classes or no classes in Chandigarh.

Well In IIT Mumbai you can imagine the situation with half PEC aero 2004 batch (The most notorious and one of worst as per our HOD). Our guys decided to go for some fun.

There was one guy lets call him Sunny the brave one or brave for one night. In IIT Mumbai it was quite different and advanced compared to our rickety PEC. There was a public announcement system available in the campus during emergencies.

Our sunnyji after landing in the campus came to know of it and decided to use it get some help or rather misuse it. Just to get some directions he decided to call up one of our friends at around 3 in the night. You can just imagine the condition of the kind. Poor fella.

On one fine night there was a public announcement that a Cheetah was spotted in the campus loitering around. As usual most of the Aerobians were either in their labs (workalohic kind) or in the hostel(bindas type). Then our Sunny paaji had a brilliant idea, why not catch the cheetah and get to the hall of fame in IIT Mumbai. (Aise bhi apne bande har jagah badnam kar ke aate hain PEC ka naam)

So our Sunny calls up the workaholic kid (wrong to call him a kid seeing his huge size) and gives him a offer to join him in catching the cheetah. As usual the workaholic kid is busy and refuses.

So our Sunny starts up the mission single handed armed with just the Nokia searchlight. He scans the campus or a part of it and fails to find the cheetah. After a while he stops for some rest (Not used to walking much).

And in a flash of second this kid is attacked. In a sudden reflex action he uses his arm as last desperate move for defence and in this process the mobile is thrown a distance away. A big folly, to throw away the only weapon you possess. After regaining his senses he awaits for the next move from the attacker buts there's none for next some minutes. He is finally convinced and searches for his beloved weapon Nokia 1100. It was couple of meters away.

After a while Sunny realizes his mistake it was a aerial attack or just some flight by some bird. Now just imagine what would have been the effects if there was a real cheetah.


The most surprising thing of all is that i knew nothing about this incident. I came to know of this only after passing out of college and after the big guy (workalohic kind) told me of this incident and sunnyji confirmed this incident.

It's always nice to reminisce the funny, sad and stressful days in college. Imagine if 10years later, you've seen all of your college friends and have some coffee, isn't it nice to seat back and bring back all the memories?
