College Chronicles .... Part -- 1

Winter of 2000 .. Was in college . College administration decided to shift our batch to a new campus. Plans for the day were pretty simple. Shift our belongings to the new campus , catch next available bus and go home for holidays. Shifting was scheduled to be completed by noon . Assuming IST , I planned on catching bus at  6 hoping shifting would be done by evening , in worst case. Surprisingly things were completed well before schedule  leaving me with ample time  before  next available bus .  Started exploring the surroundings along with friends. The new place was nice and peaceful with a country side look to it. The house next to ours had a nice garden . Guava trees caught our eyes. Only thought was to lay our hands  on those delicious fruits. Without any second thoughts , started climbing walls and in no time had enough fruits in our hands. They were delicious and this  was my first experience of having fruits freshly of trees , that too by stealing .. During our brief stay over there we were later  offered fruits by our neighbors  many times , and we happily had them ... The feel after the ones we had on first day was always the best.. As the saying goes ... "fruits" of hardwork are always sweeter ...
