First of all, I stepped on the playground,measuring the greenness of the vast ground. I narrowed my eyes,my mouth being wide open and started assuming the vastness of the college with about more than 50,000 students.
The Principal of course, accepted me, as a student of his renowed college and I was set free to take a quick tour of the college.
And why shouldn't he reject such a brilliant student like me?
For a moment, I felt as if I've got the position of V.I.P.
Anyways, if my parents are happy, then why not me?
I was well-set with my excitement to start the new chapter of my life but before I start, my parents had already mixed up my life with the best quality spices.
Father paid admission fees plus hostel fees.
And when I knew about it, suddenly “The MDH wala budha” striked my mind.

“But why Papa. I wanna stay only with my family and none other else. ”
“I don't want..... Actually I shouldn't.... ”
He kept strucking in the middle.
“But it's only for your sake. You need to learn and be prepared to stay alone for your future demands.”
“But..... ______”
Nothing so big statement striked my mind at that moment to argue for. Another thing is that if you are with your mother, you can show your angerness but in front of father everyone is a dumb.
“Fine.Your wish is my command.”But deep inside, I was travelling down my hysteria. I could not able to digest that, the whole night.

The first day of my college! New area with new friends. So new clothes with new trends.I have kept my hair open.Round googles which I stylishly took it off.And if everyone just stares at you, when you enter the college, definitely it becomes a matter of prestige for you. Same is happening with me too. I feel as if I'm in the seventh heaven. For a motive that everyone would start taking with me, I'm now overacting to try to be the cutest in their eyes, to be the most gorgeous in their eyes, and act as if I'm the one and only heroine of this college.
“Life is so awesomeeeee..... And I'm also so awesomeeeee.... ”In the middle of all these, I murmured to myself.

And suddenly it happened that my mother sprinkled huge drops of water into my eyes and started rebuking at the highest pitch possible.
“Just get up, or else you'll get a quick slap from me.”
“Oh woww! I look so adorable today. ”I still murmured.
“Hurry up, or else you'll have to rush for college. Oh yes, you neend to rush to the college for today so that you can have a good room in your hostel. ”
I shockingly woke up.
“No mumma, Mumma please... Please Mumma.... ”
And again with a upside down smile, “Am I not studying hard? ”
She didn't uttered anything.
“Tell me Mumma.... ”I repeated again.
“You don't worry ,Dear.”
And then suddenly with a great excitement, she uttered-“Do you know,I've a surprise for you! ”
“Whatt? ”I said.
“My sweetest daughter, you get a neww phoneeee... which will be purely yourss!!
Just call me everyday from the hostel. Atleast I will be able to hear your voice. ”
I smiled with delight and hugged her.
“Okkk Mumma.”
