Raj leaped out of the bus and for the first time saw his almamater with his own eyes. He couldn't make a visit here before with his parents due to illness. It didn't matter much because he knew they would make a right choice. He instantly fell in love with building of the college. Though he had studied in good schools which had helped in grooming him, none of them boasted of superb infrastructure.
Apart from the building what he saw with an awe were the groups of students moving in colorful dresses, especially the girls. Raj had studied in all boy's school throughout his school life and so had never witnessed so many girls together at one place. He was ecstatic. The teenaged heart of his was bubbling with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm. Even the fear of ragging which had been troubling him in the whole way to the college had taken the backseat.
The day ended after an orientation programme, a couple of lectures and a boring computer lab. Raj got some idea about the group system. The whole class of 60 was divided in groups of 20 each. These 20 students had to attend the labs and tutorials together. Raj didn't get to know much about his group mates as many were absent and there was a lot of confusion owing to the very first day of the session. He talked with a couple of guys and they had some good timepass in the day. A girl from his group caught his eye but he didn't dare talk with her. She had some sort of stubbornness visible with her that made Raj a little uncomfortable.
'But it doesn't matter.' Raj thought. 'We are here for 4 years. There will be many opportunities later. Just chill, dear.' As his bus moved out of college campus, he had a final glimpse of the college premises for the day. He envisioned about the fun days ahead and smiled.
