TKM Diaries -7

    The late  evening flight from Bengaluru to Kochi has now become a red eye flight. To make it worse I have forgotten my ear pods. All I can do is flip through my WhatsApp messages and watch the repeated telecasts of Cricket World Cup highlights on the TV screen facing  me. Came across pics send by my daughter of her college and hostels fully lit up  with colourful lights as Deepavali is just around.Memories of our MH Hostel day celebrations  flashed across my mind. 

     Hostel day  was an event everyone looked forward to. In final year self and Anil Peter were responsible for the conduct of Hostel day celebrations. From inviting the guests to selection of biscuits for snacks both of us had a hectic time running around for the event. Some of our enterprising batchmates went to the extent of getting some “ Nadan Kallu “ from pretty far away too.  If I remember correctly they got it on the Kollam-Shencotta train .

     On the Hostel  Day evening, after having the sumptuous hostel feast and when the guests have left ,the real celebrations would start, dancing as if there is no end of the night . Besides the fun it was the camaraderie amongst the team in making things happen was most memorable for me.And as the adage goes, handwork pays. Sometime in the Final year  came to know that Hostel Committee members were invitees for the LH day celebrations. It caused Heartburns and that too a lot .The LH day celebrations were amazing and the effort put in organising was mind blowing ,the memories of that day still fresh in my mind.
