Study Leave...!
It was Monish who planned to rent a room for the study leave. After searching many lodges near by the college, we could find a room vacant in Manasanthi Lodge, Sreekariyam. It was a small room, but we could manage to stay. After paying the advance we left. The next day we shifted our clothes and others items to the lodge. We had a brief plan about the preparation for the exam.
Anoob also joined us. He had actually joined us after 2 days. So we were 3 in a narrow room. We started well laying the books on the table and making a time table and so on. We went to library and collected the references. Thus the study leave started on an entirely different atmosphere from that of hostel. The place was really peaceful. But the fact was that the persons can never change. We couldn't wait much longer. The usual chats started here too. We took a room and were often at the hostel.
After 2 weeks Monish understood the situation. Even if we were in the room we would be simply sit and chat. Monish shifted back to hostel. Now it was up to me and Anoob will be often engaged on the phone. I would go to the cafe near by and browse for hours. Thus one month of study leave came to an end. But there were no studies. We just lost our money and time. Anoob managed to get a girlfriend on that study leave and I could create an orkut account. These were the only things we gained in that period. After the end of that month we shifted.
