"My wall is full now after I decorated it with pictures and newspaper articles of my dear champions. Now I can call it 'The Hall of Fame,'" giggled India with a lightly tinted blush, her eyes shimmering with joy and nostalgia. She looked at the wall, each frame a story of grit, perseverance, and glory, and sighed, "Oh, how my children shine on the world stage!" As she sat down beside the big Christmas tree, its stars and bells twinkling like the achievements she held dear, she replayed all the winning moments that filled her heart with pride. Every victory brought tears of happiness to her eyes, like a mother watching her children reach for the stars.

The night before my college orientation at VIT Chennai, I lay on my bed, eyes wide open, as a whirlwind of thoughts danced through my mind, painting vivid images of what college life would be like. I knew I wasn't alone in this sleepless excitement—thousands of students, just like me, were caught in their own web of imaginations. But here's the thing: while most were probably fretting about future placements or wondering about the romantic escapades they'd experience, my thoughts wandered elsewhere, to something I believed was far more crucial—fun. You see, I didn’t just attend school; I survived a place that felt more like a prison. The rigid rules, the suffocating discipline—it drained the fun out of everything. So, when I imagined my college life, all I could think about was: "Will I have fun at VIT?" Now, fast forward two months into my journey at VIT, and the answer to that burning question? It's...complicated. Let's just say, the reality has been a m...

25th July Having my bag packed up a day earlier I placed the dress I have to wear on a table beside my bed and went to sleep with thousands of expectations and a bit of nervousness. When I went curious into my dream, my mom woke me up. I got freshed up and got ready. Me and my dad rushed to the bus stop that I didn't even take my day 1 picture. I got my bus and I'm literally not a big fan of bus travels. So I tried my best to be distracted and to sleep.  I was also sure that I have to capture the moment I was going to enter into the college. I dunno why I got emotional the day 1 I was entering into the campus. I felt like VIT is person and it's welcoming me. I tried my best to keep my tears to my eyes. I was directed to an auditorium called MG auditorium. I was early there and the first two persons I met the were Anvitha and Kamia with whom I spent the rest of the day. It was it induction day which actually refers to orientation day, just VIT or physics terms. W...
