WOHH !!!
I SWEAR I DIDNT EXPECTED THIS TO GO THAT WAY BUT THIS TURNED OUT TOO BIG FOR MY EXPECTATIONS. ON 20th JULY WHEN SURYANEEL AND SANKALP ALONG WITH SOME OTHERS GAVE ME THE NEWS THAT THERE WILL BE UNIFORM ....... I WAS LIKE "OK", BUT GRADUALLY I TURNED INTROVERT THINKING ABOUT MY FRIENDS IN OTHER COOL COLLEGES.
WHEN SANKALP FIRST TOLD ME THAT HE WILL STRIKE ............... I LAUGHED BEYOND LIMIT AT THE VERY THOUGHT OF SANKI SHOUTING AT HIS WORST NIGHTMARE-prof.B.K.SARAP. GRADUALLY SURYANEEL TOO TURNED SERIOUS ABOUT THE MATTER. THOUGH I WAS NOT IN SUPPORT OF THE STRIKE,BUT THEIR ENTHU WAS WORTH PRAISING.
2 DAYS BEFORE OUR RE-OPENING, SURYANEEL INFORMED ABOUT THE SUPPORT HE'S GETTING FROM OTHER BRANCHES TO CONDUCT THE STRIKE.......... BUT THINGS STILL LOOKED NORMAL AND FAILING TO ME.
THE COLLEGE STARTED AND WE SAW WHAT WE HARDLY BELIEVED. THE STUDENTS WHO WERE ACTING SO COOL AND BRAVE WERE HIDDING IN THEIR KENNEL WEARING UNIFORMS(NaMes avoided). THIS TOOK OFF OUR MORAL STRENGHT BUT ALSO GAVE US THE WILL TO FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE.......
I TRIED TO SLOW THEM DOWN I GUESS :-(, BUT WHO AM I BEFORE THOSE MASSIVE BRATS. FROM THE INSIDE I ALWAYS FELT THAT THEY ARE RIGHT BUT THE WORD "STRIKE" WAS LIKE MUTINY..........SO WHAT F*** OFF SOA,WE WANT WHAT WE DESERVE.
SO THE THIRD DAY OF COLLEGE (thursday) WAS DECIDED AS STRIKE DAY.
WE HAD HANDFULL OF APPLICATIONS FROM VARIOUS BRANCHES OF THE COLLEGE AND MAMMOTH LIST OF SIGNATURE.
AT THE PROPOSED TIME OF 1:00 PM ONLY A BUNCH FULL OF NEARLY 30 STUDENTS GATHERED INFRONT OF THE DEAN OFFICE.
WE SURYANEEL DECIDED TO CHARGE NO-MATTER-WHAT. I OFTEN REMEMBERED NEEL'S WORD AS I STOOD OUT-SIDE THE DEANS OFFICE "WHETHER WE GET THIS DONE OR NOT.... ATLEAST WE WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED IN FUTURE THAT WE DIDN'T TRIED OUT FOR IT"
THE DEAN MEANWHILE SHOWED HIS HELPNESS IN THE MATTER SO TO MAKE IT SERIOUS WE ALL WENT TO THE F-BLOCK AND SCROCHED THE CLASS ROOMS DISABLING ALL CLASSES AND TAKING ALL STUDENTS ON STRIKE THERE AND THEN. THOUGH SOME TEACHERS HESITATED TO CO-OPERATE BUT THAT WAS TOO LOW BEFORE OUR ANGER.... AND WITHIN A FEW MINIUTES 30 STUDENT BUNCH GRADUALLY TURNED TO NEARLY 700.
THIS MADE THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES OF COLLEGE TO APPEAR AND CALL FOR A MEETING WHICH WAS FIXED THE NEXT-DAY. THAT AFTERNOON THEIR WAS SOME CONFLICT BETWEEN THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF OUR SECTION ON THE MATTER OF LACK OF CO-OPERATION.
THE NEXT DAY THE ADMIN. OF COLLEGE CALLED FOER 5 BOYS 5 GIRLS REPRESENTATIVE FROM AMONG THE STUDENTS TO ADDRESS THE COMMITEE FOR THE UPLIFTMENT OF UNIFORM.... THANKS TO RUCHI AND ROHINI OF OUR BRANCH THAT WE GOT THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF GIRLS AND THE COMMITEE WAS ADDRESSED SO TO SAY. THIS EVENT MARKED THE FIRST NOTED CO-OPERATION B/W THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF OUR SECTION (hope this will last for ever)...... NEXT WAS THE RESULT TO BE PUBLISHED....
SURYANEEL LOOKED DEPRESSED AS HE EXPECTED THAT THE COMMITEE WILL KEEP TEH UNIFORM AS THAY HAD ALL EXCUSES TO OUR DEMAND. BUT HOTA SIR'S PROMISE FOR HIS TRIAL KEPT US WAITING FOR THE RESULT
THE NEXT DAY I REMEMBER TAKING A CALL FROM SURYANEEL THAT UNIFORM WAS UPLIFTED......
I KEPT MY SHIRT FOR THE MEMORY OF THIS GREAT CHANGE EVOLED AMONG MY HOSTEL-CUM-BRANCH MATES N I'LL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF THIS.
WE ALSO GOT A SNAP OF US IN CANTEEN CELEBRATING THE LAST DAY OF OUR UNIFORM AS THE GREAT REFORMIST OF A GREAT BRANCH
