my first day at college

Dont worry, I'm not going to describe what my college looks like and stuff like that..

Though, if you dont mind, I would tell you about my first day at IITkgp. Not that something interesting happened, but I was quite amazed at almost everything.. There were about 1500 people trying to fit into that Vikramshila complex where we now have our lectures (so, hardly visit it). Our registration process was going on.. and as I had imagined there was a 1 mile long queue ahead of me! I was about to scream when the bro of my friend turned up and got us to the front of the row! He'd already declared, "You dont need to worry when I am around." I could have kissed him for that but he was younger to me, you know.
Somehow got over with that registration process at around five. And yes, how can I forget about lunch that day! I was told we're going to some restaurant. But, but, but.... I landed up in a roadside lousy dhaba which they said was called DREAMLAND. Truly, it left me dumbstruck. Not only that, I came to know that there were only these kinds in our college. Leave aside any KFC or McDonalds, there was not even a single passable restuarant out there!
Then there was hostel. I had been praying all through the journey for it to be decent. Though it wasn't bad, but a little more tidier would have sufficed. I did not find my roommate in there. Mom was pretty happy that she
was from Punjab. Though, I was a bit sceptical about that. Anyways, I decided not to think much and left for my uncle's place. Ya, he lives about an hour away from kgp. That was a bit comforting. But then came the dinner, aunty had specially prepared for me, I should not say it was bad, but it surely didn't suit my north-Indian taste buds. We are used to spicy food and what I got there was not even properly salted. I somehow finished it and knocked off. Kgp was growing upon me... even in my dreams
