People say that changes are Inevitable... They perhaps are Imminent too!!
See carefully around the campus and u’ll find number of things changed. The roads have changed, the ADM block has changed, the gate has changed (no more confusing College Of Engineering Roorkee with SECURITY) ,even the WI-FI has changed (yeah it has, all access points are new now!) Above all, the Piya Milan Chowk a.k.a. PMC has shifted by precisely 18 steps. Like a number of COER monuments; the PMC holds its special place. It is the point of Unison (division also), it is the place of “HIIs”(BYEs also), it is a place where you wait(or MAKE someone else wait for you). It is the place where Hundreds of hearts were either broken or fixed at times like of Deep Sandhya (for those of you who don’t know, Deep Sandhya is like a MINI VALENTINE’s day of COER).
But there is specific Species called HOMO SINGLII for whom the PMC is like any other place. It is either a parking area or a place where a group of entirely separate Species called
HOMO IHaveAFuntooAndYouDon’tSoKeepStaringLoser! are usually seen chit-chatting in a very low voice as if they are discussing some matter of national security. For these HOMO SINGLII; PMC still has not changed much. For them the Gates of Tarawati have not come closer by 18 steps, but still there is hope for them. And this very hope pulls them to Café in their nicest of attire every evening at precisely 5.15. And just when the 2nd or 3rd whistle goes, they slowly start to walk towards their Forbidden Territory; the PMC where they find a number of couples having their last laughs of the evening & bidding goodnight to each other. And so they continue their journey. Journey into their Deep, Dark abyss called Hostels wherein only two things exists
Woh Aur unki TANHAYEE!
NOTE: The author and KNOL publishers are all HOMO SINGLII. And this TANHAYEE always makes us do crazy stuff like making KNOL or Writing for it.
Also you might be thinking why did I not write about the path from CAC to PMC where also
HOMO IHaveAFuntooAndYouDon’tSoKeepStaringLoser are usually seen doing healthy things like Girls walking with their hands folded & boys walking with their hands in their pockets(walking is good for health ), the reason is that I just signed a Pseudo Contract with KNOL people of articles on all special places of COER; so my series will continue in next KNOL(Hopefully)!
Till then, keep dressing up & going to Café. Who knows, you might just get lucky some day!

G8 Sir.... m reelliiii lukin frwrd to ur nex article.
that i guess highlights the plight of the singles at our college..(with the exceptions offcourse),,,not everyone comes out of their dens in the evening to hit on someone or in an anticipating of finding their 'special someone'....
But nevertheless,a commendable effort to bring the unspoken ashore..dis post more likely than not reads the minds and hearts of all those who would agree with u..
