Bro!! Today was my first day at St. Xavier's. Although I myself went through the entire day, I can hardly believe it. 21 years of my life are already gone, and I am a fucking graduate now! Don't know how I made through all these years. Admission in PG course for CS in St. Xavier's had been a dream of mine, isn't it? You surely must have kept the count of the hundreds and thousands of times I have scribbled St. Xavier's on your pages. Can you believe? I DID IT!!😍

Oh Man! The campus! it was breathtaking. Extensive blocks made of crimson bricks sprawled beyond the wrought iron gates across distances I had barely imagined. They stood proud against the green lawn laced with red, white, yellow, violet and pink- petunias, English daisies, buttercups and other weeds and wildflowers I don't know. You remember the sundial, the antique clock where one has to guess the time from the sun's position in the sky? I ran to it the moment it was visible. I had made bets over this with Yachna, that I would guess the time correctly. It had seemed easy then. But trust me, it wasn't. I tried and tried hard, resigned and lost. 😅Yachna is going to tease the hell out of me. Remind me not to bring this topic before her ever again!

It was difficult to get to CS department. I got lost, twice that too. Let me remember again- go straight through the gates passing through the Arts block, then straight down the lawn up to the Central Library doors, now turn right for five steps and turn into the corridor on the left-hand side, again go straight along the massive corridor until you reach the room showing "Head of Department, CS". Now there were two stairwells one on either side of the HOD's room and I took left.... Or was it right.... 🙄Well fuck that, will see tomorrow when I get there again.

I somehow found my way to 1st year lecture hall. There was nobody in there, can you imagine? Nobody! Guess I was the only desperate soul, dying to get hold of a desktop and start coding on the very first day. It was a dream come true bro! The auditorium was lined neatly with desktops. It was inviting me to grab a seat and start with my business. Perks of being early! Find your favorite seat! I climbed up towards the back of the seating arrangement. Now guess what! Somebody was already there, perfectly camouflaged behind one of the Monitors. It was a guy dressed in a navy-blue turtleneck with red kites at the front. I stumbled at the sudden revelation of a face in the almost empty room. But he seemed unfazed. He was sitting at the back row. The backrest of his chair had been pushed way too behind while he continued to scroll through his phone screen lazily not caring to look up at the sudden intrusion.

I tried a friendly "Hi!" and you won't believe what I got in return. One grunt and that's all! He continued chewing his gum and scrolling his phone. I continued standing expecting he would say more. But no, nothing except for silence. What a jerk! 😡 I left him to rot and turned away to find myself a seat.

Students crept in lazily and started scattering across the hall. I tried to bond with many starting with just a hi or hello! Nothing significant happened from then on. Just orientation stuff, most of which I slept off. Don't ask me why! I don't want to bore you.

I am sleepy now. I have a long day ahead tomorrow. Hope things will be happening! I will fill you in!

Good Night dude! 😉
