Time: 12noon, its my favorite time now.. Lab time :)
I rush in to take my favorite system, few systems are fast in lab & whoever goes first gets them. My friends join in beside me, Our lab instructor comes, gives us some programs to execute. She then sits in her desk & drowns in some book. Me & my friends continue our conversation, (Our conversation basically include topics about our college,indian cricket team,local news,our teachers,their family,their boyfriends/girlfriends, our class girls, their boyfriends,our crushes,ways to improve kannada film industry etc.)
Time: 2pm, Lab session over, the instructor did'nt even bother to ask us whether we executed the programs. We head over to Samrat hotel to have lunch. On the way we keep an eye on our class girls & boys to see who's meeting whom, who's going with whom etc. & few known people as well (even teachers are not spared), At the hotel I order the usual bisibelebath, the hotel owner looks at me, I acknowledge him with a smile, my friend asks him "En saar enadve puliyogre ne madalla?"(What sir you don't prepare puliyogre these days?).. to which the hotel owner obliges.. "Ye..nav puliyogre maadidagella.. ninu barade illapa.. aa dwaraka hotelge hogbidtya.." (You dont come to the hotel on days we prepare puliyogre, you go to that dwaraka hotel).. The owner though is very kanjoos person.. compromising quality with quantity. After lunch we head over to our classmate's room.
Time: 3pm, On our way we stop to pick up a nice movie to watch in our friend's room at a local cd shop near his home.. The guy tells our friend "Saar hosaadu bandide masala.. chinesedu.." my friend gets emabarassed n says "Amele bartini.. eega yavdadru olle comedy movie idre torisi..". The cd guy gives us a new hindi movie "Dhamaal".. We reach his home & make ourselves comfortable as though it were our home.. some sleep, some attend nature's call, some hang their clothes to dry. And so we settle to watch the movie..
Time: 6pm, Movie over.. we all pack up our stuff to leave for our real home.. some stay as far as nelmangala, indranagar. so they now moan abt their long journey. we pacify them, & head over to the nearest bakery, We eat to our stomach's content.. veg puff, veg rolls, cakes, sandwich.. etc.. & finally order for tea. Bakery guy: "Saar 110 rs aaytu", I see some astonished looks on my friends faces.. as though they are being enquired by police about some crime or something. One of them quietly delivers his usual dialogue "Maccha nan purseali gaali ide, yaradru nange pay maadbidro, nalene clear maadbidtini.. we all try to gather as much money as we can from our pockets.. 10rs,5rs,2rs,1rs.. finally 50paises.. all amount to 90rs. we still fall short by 20rs, we look at each other's faces.. one says "Maga i saw a 100rs note in ur wallet, pay it maga.. we will return you the amount tomrw." to which immediately the other replies "Maga my mother gave it to me to keep it, she will ask it again".. now everybody starts pushing the guy to pay.. Finally he agrees (kuri hallakke bittu)..says while paying.. "le chappar nan makla.. yavaglu nanne idkondbidro" (dear friends, you always hold me responsible to pay the bill).
Time: 7pm, We all head to the bus stop.. its filled with college/high school boys, girls from the nearby tution.. our attention turns towards the girls.. the bus to KBS arrives, our far staying friends board the bus.. we wave goodbye to them, one of them shouts "Saar num hudugru.. husharagi drop maadi.."(dear driver/conductor, please drop our friends safely).. the bus goes.. we are now 4 left.. we wait for the busses to our area.. usually some 3-4 stops away.. while cracking some jokes & enjoying some discussion, we fail to realize that one of the tution girl is busy staring one of us.. we realize quickly who the guy is, & pamper him to go n talk to that girl, the guy blushes.. & finally agrees to talk to her.. He starts walking towards her.. the girl realizes that he is coming towards her & quickly turns in the other direction, however her friends still look on gigling.. my friend changes his mind & comes back blushing., the next few moments are spent teasing him about the incident. Our busses finally arrive & we head to our home.
Time: 8.15pm, I reach my home, My father thunders at my sight.. "Elli haalagi hogiddo? College bidodu 2pm ge.. ishto tanaka elli alita ide?" (Where had you been? your college gets over at 2pm!) I say some lay excuse & head to my room.. My mother arrives asking "En tinadappa madyana,sayankala? eega en maad kodli?"(What did you eat in the afternoon,evening? what shall i prepare now?)Boy! I must appreciate the care she shows us.. My father intervenes again.. "Aden aalumoolu tindirtano eega barbekadre.. avanu first ooota maadtano ilvo kelu" (Who knows what garbage he might have eaten? ask him if he wants to have dinner or not).. I'm already tired for the day.. I tell her to give me some fruits & a glass of buttermilk.. While she heads to the kitchen, i turn on my PC & start playing some games..
Time: 9.15pm, My eyes are now paining.. & i'm feeling very sleepy.. I eat the fruits & drink the buttermilk.. & hit the bed, awaiting a new journey for tomorrow..
