May in Chennai!!!

Fortunately am not going to spend the rest of this May in Chennai (I hope so while typing this!)

It was 1st of May and i started packing my clothes and other stuffs from my room in Loyola College Hostel, Chennai. This room Numbering 653, from Block 19 (UG seniors block 7 is the new name they had given since then) had served my body for a year. A pure seniors block as all of us are III yr guys only and no other block is like that.


I was sitting on my block balcony at the end of the corridor watching the local trains passed by. It was quite warm and my body began sweating. I started pacing to and fro in the hallway deciding what to do next. Ya!! the most tempting thing to do this time is to have good splashing with cool water and indeed I make a prompt decision. Took my kits and went down to bathroom.


It was almost empty with two three guys having showers and the bathroom door was left wide open unlike college days. College days are over for me and hostel is almost empty with all the guys leaving for home for their vacation. Few guys are still here, some of us reasons for travelling tickets and as such. Our hostel which had lodged a thousands of students and now a its a quiet one with a handful of students occupying the big mark.


Bathroom!
I open the tap a its full speed and started sitting underneath. It's a great feeling I have there. I left the bathroom door open and started looking outside the sun scorching heat. Truly a climate often called hot, hotter and hottest! There was stillness in the atmosphere and not even breeze.

A spooky friend came by and took a short glance at me...He knew i was doing well with the water and knew that this was a kind of my adaptation to the Chennai weather!
