The Uni-days series-3

Hi guys!

How are you!?

Hope you're happy and healthy!

Meri khwahish ko bhagwaan ne suna hi nahi... There's no icar student in my department in the entire university!!!!! There was one itseems, who took the admission and cancelled later...Ala undi mari mana paristhiti,parledu le! Anyway, an impromptu blog again...

Lately I've been going to the library to study (an axiom for success followed by most of the students here, so yeah! adopted or may be adopting it)

First impressions first! I don't know what made me feel like that but I didn't like it (the opened newspaper edges aligned at 30° to the table at the entry was constantly bugging me....I felt like immediately going there,putting it right and parallel to the table lol! People who relate to seeing things perfectly placed would know) and I was constantly whinging about it to my roommates. I went inside to have a quick tour but again, my UG library was fab though small. This was again,an obvious prejudice from my side. I started liking it gradually...the mental dedication of the students, the positive competition amongst them, the wifi specially, and the needed economics books nullified the visibly unclear glass frames, the brown computer wires, the white fibre chairs in the halls and other kindred things...It's not pin drop silence here, it's hair drop silent.. Seriously! Day 1, ferreting around in my pouch for pens lead to few random stares visible from the corner of my eye (godd!) I can manage to study in raucous laughter but silence..ufffff. Too many learnings and acclimatizations 😅

There are portraits of Shivaji Maharaj, Dr.B.R Ambedkar,Mahatma Phule in the library (to test your gk, tell me who gave him the title as 'Mahatma'..bolo bolooo)I have a habit of taking breaks amidst the study schedules frequently. Whenever I go out, I feel like these people from the portraits are communicating and trying to tell me "Kyu ghoom rahi ho idhar udhar,pado na dhang se aur hamare jaisa bano!"😅 Feels like Shivaji Maharaj is asking me why Anglo-Maratha wars failed? Ambedkar ji asking the reason for frequent ammendments😅 On the contrary,I also stare and think within,the reason of Shivaji's immense valour, self-realisation etc (random thoughts of a curious creative human being...kada?) It's inspiring just by looking at them re, atleast for me!

Coming to the food, I'm vext of the "pav" re🤦🏼‍♀️ wada pav veru anta, pav wada veru anta, misal pav anta, konni rojulu aithe samosa pav kuda untundemo😶 Inkokati poha!🤦🏼‍♀️ Snehal loves poha and she threatens me jokingly that she'll make poha and upma in the room if I don't listen to her (Just roommate things😂) I think there are people reading this who also don't like poha (We share something in common then, high five! ✋) Even if my mom makes it at home na, I'd prefer to starve than eating it (million people=trillion food preferences)

I was talking to a random person about the place where I come from and they were like "haa wo kolaveri gaana waha se hi hein na!' Dudeee! How do I tell them that tamil and telugu are entirely different languages and Dhanush from Raanjhna is actually a tamilian! Telugu ante RRR,Bahubali,Pushpa etc!

Marathi is really a beautiful language but when you don't understand, it's again like the Spanish movie without subtitles.... One day na,I'll talk to everyone who knowingly speaks to me in marathi, in telugu !how'd it be?😂( Comments section is open)

Hailing from South India, not being aware of the reality,I thought that linguistic states would only have a lingual divide,but kitne divides hein yaar...cultural,social,economical (geographical? Obviously re) It's like practically experiencing everything which is nice though.

Being the second largest producer of sugarcane in India, Maharashtra produces 1/6 of it ig (this question was asked in our pg entrance test re... Ab bolo, who remembers if the share is 1/6,1/5 ya 1/4th🤦🏼‍♀️). The enthusiasm with which I've gone to taste the sugarcane juice vanished in a blink after seeing the unwashed venti sized glass jugs for serving it! People like me with OCD can relate to this. I've told that bhaiyya to wash them properly- he just dipped them in water and served 😶 leading to us ordering those foldable steel glasses. Coming to panipuri, who doesn't love it!? (If you don't, we aren't friends bro, don't worry😂) I couldn't eat it here re( ocd guys can relate) The root cause for everything is the strong desire of my mum ig... She strongly prayed that everything her daughter should eat must be according to her given plan (tmi-she's a nutrition therapist!) Everyone here is disciplined in terms of food also or may be had to be disciplined haha. In Hyderabad na, people world be savouring biryani with coke at 2am, relishing Irani chai at 4am, having Ram ki bandi dosa at 11 pm etc etc... Such unusual things aren't seen here which is actually a rare thing for a hyderabadi (In my UG college also, it was quite common, sooo) "Khaana time pe khaao aur dhang se pado" is the funda which I've started liking too.

Kuch meethe baath se khatam karte hein blog ko.... My super seniors are too sweet re.Snehakka,Teju akka,Triveni akka,Deepika akka❤️ For me, they are the actual go-to persons for anything! Food's not good? I'll approach teju akka, someone is irritating me? Snehakka is there! Koi pareshan kar raha hein- Triveni akka. Doubts in anything-Deepika akka! No other thought also.. Now they've also finished their post graduation and they'll go in a week itseems........ They never behaved like super seniors to us... They were more like good friends. From the initial hesitant conversations to gossips and hungamas ,giggles and chuckles,late night laughs,deep and meaningful talks on life, I'll miss everything.That void is not replaceable ig. I couldn't and cannot say it in person, but I want to thank four of them in this blog for the care and attention which they've given me to harden in a new environment❤️

Too senti ending na... Hyderabadi log dilse bahot saaf aur ache hote hein.I'm talking about my super seniors re (kuch bhi sochthe ho😂apne baare mein thodi likhungi😂)

Anyway until the next blog comes out, take care of yourselves, eat well, study well and yeah grow mentally strong each day.

Stay happy Stay healthy.

With love,

Sharwani
