NatUre heAls..!! (wAy to ShiV saMunDaram..) ~ paRt-I

Are you a nature lover?

No. Today, I’ll not talk about any management theories. Rather, I’ll share an enchanting experience of my life.

 The day to Shiv Samundaram… What a trip! I had no clear idea about the place itself.

I was gossiping with my roomie, the night before. She said, “Hey, it will be fun. Come with us, let’s enjoy!”

I said, “Sorry hun! Assignments are left. Can’t help it!”

“But debo, it will be fun. We’ve been living together for the last 6 months under the same roof and still have not yet hang-out for once!” As if the world gonna end soon!

“Are you kidding me?! We did hangout for several times. Shopping, going for movies and food… Buzz off.. I’ve assignments to complete!”

“Cool!” and she left, banging the door so hard.

I was trying to concentrate… I don’t know exactly on what! Words were so very random. Oh hello! It’s not my assignments. It was the outside noise; some discussion was going around, right after my door. I realized and opened the door.

“Hello guys, I’m trying to concentrate on something. Will you please lower down your volumes?!”

“Good for you!” And they ignored. (1/3^rd people)

“Ah! Yes..! MIS (Management Information System), Ch no. 3.” I recapitulated and opened the pdf files on my lappy.  Our group had to present the case study on ‘Blockbuster vs. Netflix’ next week, so I started anyhow to read the case.

Bang! “Debo! Sleeping???” Bang! Bang bang!

“Why? You guys always have to kick my door or what?” I said annoyingly.

“Hush! Poor baby, stop crying.. We’ll get you one next time!”  said, the gal next door (my so-called neighbor).

One very interesting as well as irritating fact about hostel life is that you can ignore your room-mate, but you can’t ignore your neighbors’. They are the true epitome of unwanted disturbance all the time! In my case, it was a bit higher. My neighbors are more like ‘pirates’. Why?! When they’re hungry, no matters if I’m sleeping or not, they will come and help themselves to get my food stuffs out of my cupboard.. And that too without my permission! And sometimes, they self-invite themselves for an unwanted mid-night Maggie-treat. And you better don’t dare to say ‘no’. Coz, sleep can be at stake for that night! Mind it.

Anyways…  So, they came inside and sat on my bed. I instantly realized it gonna take long time. I shut-down my laptop and sat in my chair (I had left with no choice, my bed was already reserved!).

“Okay! What’s the matter?” I asked.

“As if you don’t know!?” said by 224 (p.s. 223 is my room, 222 and 224 are my neighbors’ rooms.)

“What?” I asked in a serious tone.

“Polu! We’re going to ‘Shiv Samundaram’ tomorrow… Yaay!” said 222 (p.s. ‘Polu’ was one of my weird names, given by 222) 

“Wao! Enjoy gals..”

“Not without you!” ~ 224

“See.. I have MIS Case Study to represent next week. So you gals can understand the problem.”

They looked at me at first, then looked at each other and started laughing sarcastically. As if, I said any PJ! Before I could speak something, one of them anyhow managed to stop laughing and said “Are you serious!”

“I….mmmmmm…..” (And I started giggling a little)

And the rest you can understand! Finally, we’re going to Shiv Samundaram the next morning.
