Life at Siruseri-1

DRIFTED "DRAFT"

The life began as it might not have after the first day of 2007. I landed with my luggage at the Chennai Central and waited for the college vehicle. ...Where am I upto.....let's stick to the topic.
The 4th day at the new campus. The payment of fees was due (coz I never expected the Office to ask us for a draft for mess fee). So finally, I decided I should take it lest get charged with a fine. Hence, my journey started with my senior in search of a bank.
Well, we pedaled on the bicycles outside SIPCOT and started moving on the directions given by another one from the institute. Well, the then knowledge was that it's about 1.5 or 2 km from the institute. So, we reached the nearest habitable (permanently) place (Navalur)...no sight of a bank. Pedaled on keeping the hopes on the fate to lead us through to the nearest bank. It's was 2:30 in the afternoon...we were pedalling with draining hope. Finally we reached....a shop where we asked the shopkeeper for further instructions...he gave an information that there's one in the next village. So, with renewed hope...the pursuit began (expecting the distance to be 1km). Well, finally we reached after pedaling for 2 kms.
At last, a bank at sight...ah..ah..relief, went in and took the draft and began pedaling back again. After we reaches Navalur....we were damn tired( this was my first bicycle ride in the past 3 years) ..... and got down from the bicycles and started walking (fact was that.. the air in the tyres was pretty low). Well, after 2 hrs we finally reached the hostel....i successfully yet unhappy for the ride...he unhappy in all senses as he was not able to find an ATM to draw money from. That's another issue about the ATM's. Shall try to rope it in, in a later post
