Life of Mumbaikar at MBS

As a Mumbaikar attending MBS, my day starts at 5:00am with the pre readings to prepare for the d respective class quiz and catching up on the left over work... I hastily take a bath and have a sip of tea. Then run down the stairs by 7:45 coz Shahil (H is silent) waiting at putla (Just nearby my house) with a Taxi. Next comes the Dadar Bridge which we run with the 15kg bags weighing us down. With my agile body I reach the platform before shahil does (Truth: The reverse is just what happens).Well, if you miss the 8:06 train the next train is @ 8:20 (according to IST-Indian stretchable Time) But as usual we are always late...after boarding the train begins the next round of revisions and pre-readings..The journey ends and we meet our gang at the station where another almost impossible task awaits us ‘GETTING A RICSHAW TO DROP US TILL COLLEGE.’ 90% of the times you won’t get one...Then you enter MBS and if by mistake or should I say luckily you are on time, then you attend the first lecture. But if you are even 5minutes late u can sit out and enjoy the balcony view...then this schedule continuous till the end of the day. The lunch and coffee breaks are spent at the ajantha auditorium (the room we substitute for a Slumber room)...By the end of the day you are loaded with enough work to keep you busy for a day but unfortunately u have to finish it before sunrise. Worse, when I’m completely exhausted I’m stuck up with the killer group (Killer group coz they actually kill you if you don’t finish your work on time). Then come the ‘n’ number of healthy fights between Two Big Giants of my group (In size and brains) which are mostly directed towards improving the presentations. Although I learn a lot from them, their voices tend to haunt me even in my sleep... After this starts the study session which goes on till 12:15 am...then begins the Journey back home and this time I’m with Kevin and we are rushing to catch the last train and even before I’m able to descend from the bridge, Kevin is waving at me from the door of the train. No chance of beating him in that run...Poor me...By the time I reach home it is already 1:30...n I fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed and that’s after having dinner if u are in a state to ...To end with like the motto of my college says “We can and we Will” and Inspite of this hectic schedule I still say “I can and I will”. Whatever be the case MBS works and students make it Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So As Professor Dr.Vaidy Jayaraman says CHEERS!!!!!
