A travel back to the past

It was a day off from work, a day to relax a bit and one whole day at home which is a rarety. Woke up a bit late at around 11 and received a call from one of friends that he will be coming to my house. Asnov, my friend came and we had a lot of things to talk about and our memories travelled back to our college days and we shared the memories of a lot of funny incidents that happened in our college life.

I cant remember at least one semester in my college days during which the college wasn't closed atleast for one week, if not more. Every now and then we will have strike in our college. Sometimes it might start with small disputes between students and that will ultimately end up in big fights and as we have a principal and as he is supposed to take some action against such things, he will suspend a few and all will be on strike from the next day onwards and so the princi will have to cancel the suspension. Those who indulge in these fights sometimes get bored of having to fight with the same people over and again and then will extend it to the locals in Venjaramoodu(our college is located at Venjaramoodu). Then it will be eventful few weeks as the locals will be waiting for vengeance and they will stop each and every vehicle going to college searching for those guys and sometimes some of the poor guys will get beaten as those who are waiting will not be able to find out those whom they are looking for and will have to express their rage on someone. They will also beat up the guys who are standing in the footboard of the college buses. Scenting the danger our college authorities will suspend the classes till further notice.
We really enjoyed our college days and our classroom had a good atmosphere as most of our teachers didn't bother to make us listen to the class or write lecture notes(maybe beacuse they knew it was of no use). So we did our job of playing wordgames, playing paper cricket, discussing about cricket matches and films that are going to be released or the ones that is already released and the teachers will go on with their job of teaching to those guys sitting in the first bench as if the class is confined to the first bench. We were lucky to have a few first benchers who were also not bothered by the noise that we make and would concentrate on the teaching. They were very good at heart to lend us their notebooks to take photocopies and also to tell us the portions till which we have to learn for the series exams. Also few of the teachers were really helping and even taught us some of the portions once the classes were over and our study leave started.
During the university exams the biggest villain was cricket matches. I dont know how they schedule the exams, but the only thing i know is that during every university exams there will be a cricket series going on that involves India and matches will be there sometimes on exam days and sometimes on the days prior to exams. I am one person who loves cricket and watches almost all the matches that i possibly can and so it was the biggest prolem as far as i was considered. Sometimes we hear rumours that university has postponed the exams and hearing that I will just close my books and start watching cricket and after sometimes someone will call and tell that the exams hasn't been postponed and so I will take my book and start studying(keeping an eye on the scorecard).

There were a lot of funny experiences during the college life and i will like to share that with you, but not for now. It seems as if all has gone in the wink of an eye, and everything is just memories now....
