While one late night I was sitting at Noren having a fried maggi with Rahul, Abhishek (Nahar) came up to me and asked ‘Aren’t you going home?’
I answered “Why, no! Still one stupid exam left…by the way when are you leaving?”
Nahar: Tomorrow. No actually tonight. Late night. Around 4 am.
Me: Ohh! And when will you be coming back.
Nahar: Next weekend!
Me: But what about the lab on Tuesday?
Nahar: Proxy lag jaegi yaar.
Me: Yea right (in mind.. I can do that too)
So I came to my room and thought about it. Well I can go home too. It’s been two months. Home will be nice. Also exams just got over so not much studies next week. I should go too. I’ll ask dad and book my tickets early morning tomorrow. Yes!
And I slept. Only to wake up at 10 am next morning.
Tickets in tatkal open at 8 am and get sold within 10 minutes, and I had missed that by a huge margin. ‘Shit! What should I do now’ So I called dad.
Me: Papa no tickets for Saturday. Not even from Howrah.
Papa: Don’t worry. Come on Sunday.
Me: But a day gets wasted.
Papa: so what! Anyway your wish.
Me (in mind) yeah I can do that!
And I got my ticket for Sunday. I left Kharagpur for Calcutta at 9.30 and reached Howrah at 11.30. My train to Delhi was at 2 pm. So while I was sitting in the waiting room, I was on mobile facebook teasing people with a status message “Me ghar jaa rha hun :D” and friends were like “Dude don’t tease us. Don’t make us jealous. Just go home.” And then there was Animesh “you’re going to miss hall days :P”
And there I was confused that very moment. ‘Why the hell I am going home. This is a fun period. Hall days are fun.’ I was confused. Then I thought to myself ‘Nothing can be better than home. I have got better things to do than hall days. Home has better things waiting for me. Also if I don’t go now, I’ll have to wait for another 2 months.’ I remembered how last year same period I was so desperate to go home. So I took peace in that thought and left happily for home. I tell you now HOME IS HEAVEN.
