New world...
I was lying on my mat to get a good sleep. Thoughts were passing through my mind. My watch beeped suddenly. It was 1:00 am. It made me more tensed for not getting sleep. How can I sleep today. After all its the first day I am staying away from my parents.
It was the first day of my Navodaya school life. As I stepped my right leg in to the campus with my parents, I didn't think it was so tough to stay away from them who had cared for me for the past 11 years. After registration and allotment of hostel, we walked throughout the campus to see its inner beauty. My parents left me after some time.I went up to the gate to bid them good bye. I didn't miss them much as they just went away from my eyes. I was in an eager to spent my life on the new campus. But as I walked back to the hostel, I could realize the situation I was in. All were new faces. Only a known person in that campus was Shanooj, my cousin.
I went to Shanooj and stayed with him. He was just two years senior to me on the campus. But my hostel warden had instructed us, the new students to stay away from seniors and to be always together. So I had to leave Shanooj on his way. Again I was lonely with my batch mates. Now I have to be friendly with all these guys. I couldn't choose whom to start from. We always had to be together in hostel, mess and also at ground. We had keep line while walking. It was just like a military camp. When I ate food, I started to miss my home. The food was very crucial. Only a few dishes. That too in a measurement. After eating the food we had to wash our own plates. After reaching back to hostel, I could make some knowledge of my friends. We discussed different things.
We had to fetch water for bathing. There was a big queue and only a single pipe that too miserly in providing water. We had to wait a long time, waiting without buckets in our hands. Now I started to love my home for being so much equipped. We had to live a very different life on that day. By night we could get the activities and limits of the campus. Everything inside the campus had limits. It made me very sad. I couldn't sleep well that night. I was throughout thinking of my parents and home. I wanted to go home urgently. My eyes wet when I realized that I would have to miss my beloved parents for a long time.
I kept on looking the time. Slowly I slept, to start the next day with a new life which was the way of my future...
