Unimaginable: Breaking into Sasha's Hostel

Why it is always like that? When you're in LOVE, you end up doing something CRAZY.
Okay. When I started out at Ace Academy, after 2 or 3 days, I saw this girl. Sasha is a girl who rules every guy's heart and mind once he see her. In my case, she ruled my soul too. Her beauty so simple and pure, her smile so heart throbbing, her nature so loving and kind, her eyes so deep and attractive rather hypnotic, her posture so elegant, her skin so glowy and radiant..OMG I can keep on praising her beauty till I take my last breath. All in all she's a goddess of beauty, one cannot take off their eyes off her rather can just stare. And I'm no different. After all I'm a guy and looking for love too..lol. But seriously she's Oh-so-beautiful.
When I first saw her my heart skipped a beat and I was clean bowled by her beauty. Until two-three days I literally stared her though I knew she's very much aware. My friends used to tell me, "Abe kitna tadega bey, tujhse nai pategi" and I used to say, "Shayad..lekin can't resist aur saalon tum bad-dua nai dauge to kya pata, chamatkar aaj bhi hote hai." And as soon as I said this, she turned and looked at me. At first I was like Dude you gonna get a tight slap. But then I smiled at her instead and to my pleasant surprise she responded with a smile. I felt like a teenager again and almost died as that smile was no less than a Killer!! I felt like God listened to what I said a minute ago. The next day I reached the academy pretty early and was waiting for her to come. I took a seat making sure the seat next to me remain vacant. Finally she arrived and as our eyes met we smiled and it felt like a connection. We were both silent, our eyes were doing the talking part.
(Eye talk)
Me: Sit here.
She: Is it a good decision? Your friends aren't coming?
Me: What do you think, why I'm sitting alone then?
She: Okay okay. I was just asking.

She came and sat by me. A chill ran down my spine and heart skipped a beat. She greeted with a smile and bet the Sun was never so bright as her smile was now. I smiled back and held out my trembling (literally) hand, "Hi, Ruchir". She held my hand. "Shasha. Thnxx for keeping my seat else I'd be sitting on last benches (laughs)." I never wanted to leave that soft hand but that would sound rather perv. So I let go her hand "Its fine. You're welcome." Well that was the beginning. After that, we learned more about each other and exchanged numbers. Soon, going out on dates was very frequent. She was from a middle class Maharashtrian family and that was of least concern to me. I just knew I loved her and nothing else. Finally one fine evening I told her what I felt for her and as expected(rather unexpected by my friends) she liked me too.
Another love story was shaping up side by side and I was happy for him. Vatsal was dating Samaira. A girl who lived in Sasha's hostel and coincidently her roommate too. So four of us used to hang out together.

Well I'm cutting the love story details short so I can write what I am here to. We'll explore my love life some other time. Hahaha.

Amidst all of these God knows from where I got the idea to break into Sasha's hostel, that too at 1 am in the night (or morning). I called her up before an hour. The conversation was:

Me: Hey..what you doin?
She: Nothing much. Just goin through today's notes. You?
Me: Well just missing you I guess..(laughs)
She: O yeah??!! Well, me too. (giggles). Okay now. I gotta go sleep. You too go sleep. Will cya tomorrow. Love you..
Me: Okay okay. Bye. Take care. Love you too..
(hangs up)

After an hour long crazy thinking, I finally decided to meet her and that too in her hostel!!!!! I poked Vatsal who was on phone with Samaira. He turned rather irritated and whispered, "What do you need at this fucking hour of day?". "Lets go to the girls hostel man. I'm missing Sasha." He gazed at me in shock and told Samaira to call back in sometime and hanged up. "Are you fucking crazy?? Out of your mind? That's a GIRLS HOSTEL. Wait..are you drunk??" I smiled. "No buddy, I'm serious." (Pause) "But that's too risky man and their hostel has a entry from basement so NO.." I somehow convinced him but that took a pretty good 30 minutes and lot of words of praise for him. The Shree Sai Hostel was just out of our gali so reaching there didn't took more than 2 minutes. As soon as we reached, we searched for the guard and luckily he was sleeping in his quarters. Vatsal took a look in basement and signalled "All clear man..Lego" We just bolted to room no. 202 and knocked. Sasha opened the door and her mouth was opened too in a shock. She pulled me in (I pulled Vatsal) and bolted the door behind us. By the time, I was just staring at her. She was looking sexier in purple tracks and a loose off shoulder purple top. Her hair tied in a messy yet so perfect way. Meanwhile, Vatsal was gone to other room with Samaira.
"WTF Rukk! Why in the world you're here?? Did anyone see you?? How the guard let you in??...."
"Easy easy Sasha..No one has seen me and guard was asleep. I was just missing you so ran to you. Did I do anything wrong??"
She just smiled and hugged me. "No love..I was just worried for you. And I missed you too so I'm glad you're here." We stood in that position for quite a time. Then we sat on her bed holding hands and she rested her head on my shoulders. We spent the night chatting and I don't remember when we fall asleep. At something 4:30 am Vatsal called, "Wake up dammit..time to go or we'll be screwed!!" "Okay okay..coming."
Sasha opened her eyes. I was running my fingers in her hair. "What time it is?"
"4:30" I replied.
"OMG..leave Rukk or warden will screw you and me too!!" She rose from the bed in a flash.
"Okay okay"
We hugged each other goodbye. I and Vatsal sneeked out without being noticed. And as we reached our flat, we both were panting. I smirked at him as if I was saying That was a close call man but it was awesome. He winked in appreciation.

It was hell of a crazy thing we did but it was fun. As I told you LOVE can make you do crazy things you never think you can do. But I'll surely do this crazy thing again. No regrets. Spending a night in girls hostel was thrilling. Infact I'd like to go now..Cheers!!!

Life: Unlimited Fags And Free Flowing Booze..Cheers!!

As soon as i boarded the train to Hyderabad, the first thought in my mind was, Fuck man!! A place with no ban on alcohol!!! That's what I wanted since ages..!! I already had started day dreaming about getting drunk and wasted as I lit a Classic Regular from my pocket. The journey was a long one but I had enough fag with me so I was relieved. It says that if you smoke, you make buddies too soon but obviously smoking buddies..lol I too made one soon in train itself. Sandeep was a Maharashtrian and was heading to Pune. I was puffing out standing at a boogey door and a voice called out, "Bhaiya, cigarette hai kya?" I looked back and saw a guy in his early 30s. I lend out a cigarette and held out a hand Hi, I'm Ruchir. Sandeep here came the reply. We smoked and started chatting. He was a newly turned businessman and was a Mechanical Engineer so we were technically alike. I told him about myself. Some truth and very less lies(bragging you see..lol). But he kinda believed it all and we kept smoking with Chai available. We reached Pune at the stroke of midnight and he left thanking me for a good time and cigarettes of course. I was like Man, thank you..I was fucking so bored here. Thanks for the company. I went to sleep and woke up and reached Hyderabad with Vatsal, Anand and Chaitanya. I was waiting for my Saaki still.

After three days of continuous non-stop smoking, he arrived on 8th July. Ankit, my school friend from IJSC. We greeted each other and I was quite happy to see him. When he said he now drinks too I said "Fuck you Zidanne..man you are changed. You never even used to abuse before..how in this fucking damn world??" From inside, I was so happy. I was like Wow man! I won't have to drink alone now. Got my Saaki. To my question he just laughed and said, "Hostel life changes you totally Ruchir." I was really relieved knowing he drinks too. But he doesn't smoke so on that front, I was still alone. Vatsal, Anand and Chaitanya neither drinks nor smokes. We brought our first ever oh-so-banned-in-Gujarat drink that night. A Buddwizer. We rose a toast To our every upcoming alcoholic moment in coming 6 months..Cheers!! and triggered the bottle bottoms up. After that, we explored the city and my fags were getting more and more day by day. Buddwiser got three more chances after that to come into our room and made our minds tension free everytime.

After pretty 5-6 days of last Budd, we walked up into a bar and ordered two Airestoff Vodkas. The bar was a little cozy place with dim lights and soft music. We drank the vodka wildly and got wasted in our room. Cannot really remember what happened next. Hangover was still there in the morning and it went off only after a mug of strong coffee. The month of Shraavan sat in and we decided not to drink in that month(pretty boring..gaah). But as soon as Shraavan was over, booze was back on. To celebrate belated Independence Day we bought a Royale Senate whiskey. But this time we drank it real slow because classes were on and none of us two wanted to get wasted. So we finished the whiskey last night with me having the Fire-Shot at the end. We decided to try a new brand every week. No repititions strictly. A pact sort of and I am not regretting and would love to keep it unbroken. So booze and fag is unlimited and free flowing here. Nobody to stop; Indipendence in true sense. Cheers!!

Hyderabad-A City I Dreamt Of..And Here I Am Now.

Well shifting all the way from Gujarat to here in Hyderabad was not that easy but the curiosity of exploring a totally new city and being in a state which has no ban on liquor got me going. Well the liquor thing was more effective I guess. Stepping on the land of 'Annas' was really an awesome feeling. The scenario was changed completely. Kind of old constructions (which I totally love and its Old Hyderabad I must mention) compared to the ones in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, people way better than Ahmedabadis (generous). As soon as I reached where I was to live I was happier then ever. It was a three storey tenament and I took the top floor and the view from balcony was just amazing. A flock of tall but narrow houses rested in front of me with a playground just in front of my house. I see the kids playing there all the time and I get nostalgic recollecting my childhood days. The first ray of sunlight points right onto my eyes waking me up. Sometimes when I don't sleep whole night reading books, I get the pleasure to take a glance at beautiful sunrise. The feeling of being in Hyderabad itself and living alone makes me feel independent and tell you that is one feeling to be felt by everybody. Its so fresh and awesome. Back in Gujarat I never liked crowds. But down here I feel a tingle in my spine when I see the busy life of the city. People walking through markets, gallis, the sound of sweet Telugu language. Everything just feels right. Some gallis are so narrow that only one person at a time can walk through and houses on both sides. That's the most amazing site to see. The city is full of mysteriously wonderful experiences. The tourism of the city is out of the box. Ramoji Film City, Birla Temple, Char Minar, NTR Garden, Necklace Market etc. are places to explore. An IT Hub which is the second largest in India after Bangalore resides here. Its known as Cyberabad. This place has also its different aura. Skyscrapers all around, best of IT companies from all around the world, a 8-lane road, overbridges, malls, beautiful girls (that's one thing I always look for; anywhere, everywhere), and everything that a metro should behold. Banjara Hills is the area I loved the most here. A part of Hyderabad which is totally on hills: Mind Boggling Sight. Roads like a body of snake, trees giving shelter to roads all the way, cool breeze blowing 24x7, lush green till wherever the eyes can see and a DC Design showroom (Dilip Chhabria: awesome car designer). And food of Hyderabad 'muuaaahhh'. I'm a big foodie and will taste every food that comes my way. Dosas of 'Swathi Coffee House' and 'Panchami' will make you curse 'Sankalp', the Chicken Biryani of 'Paradise' will make you go in a trance, the bakery items of Karachi Bakery you just can't imagine how awesome they taste and 'Haleem' of 'Pista House' and fish of 'Koti Bazaar' you just can't resist(Hyderabad is famous for Haleem in India).

Movies and Liquor, well to say anything will be less. Hyderabad has 'n' number of single screen theaters which are so cheap that you won't miss a single movie. And liquor from 'Madhushala Wine Shop' waters your mouth and the best part of this wine shop is that its located right in front of the footsteps of my academy. So resisting myself is a bit uncontrollable(I'm having Senate Royal whiskey while I am writing this). And at last, I don't want to talk about this but because of this only I'm here in this beautiful city, my coaching, my studies. "Ace Academy": A place where you feel you can crack GATE as if its a grade 7 exam. An institute which polishes your knowledge to a level you never imagined it can reach. Brilliant and very brilliantly intelligent professors to teach you what you've already studied but in a way you never expected it can be taught. All in all life is a dream here and I'm not going to open my eyes too soon. Cheers !!!
