meter high gate made up of iron,accompanied by a small Nepali fellow from Kathmandu,he was really a simple guy with his moustaches covering his face completely.
"New student ,very good come in come in"he said in the very well known style of Nepali.
"Thanks"I said and lifted up my mountain bag which was the only thing that my father gave me when I was leaving for college.
It was really very beautiful,more than what I had heard about it from the few person's that know what this college was.
"I like you young boy,give me your bag and I will lift it for you "a voice came from behind, it was that Nepali fellow
"no thanks I will carry it on my own"I said.
He said nothing else but just took the bag off .
"What's your room no.?"
"I,I don't know","no problem we will find it for you"he said and moved forward,I simply didn't understand why he was so kind to an unknown but I found the answer within me, absolutely for money .I followed him, the students were all busy in certain gossip's, a completely modern guy with earings and straight hairs was sitting idle at the steps of stairs,I looked at him ,he was having a book in his hand ,on seeing more closely I got the name of the book,it was a novel,a romantic one,"The rose lady and Trevelyan",we moved forward to a large group of students surrounding a board.
"What's your name?"the fellow carrying my bag asked me, “Rajendra "I replied.
"Don't you think there may be anyone else of this name","Rajendra Kumar Sharma"I corrected myself,he just smiled at me and moved into the crowd of the students,he was very much strong, he got into the crowd as if having a practice for it.It was just after 5minutes when he again came back.
“Room no 34,very cool” he was smiling in a way as if it's something very much different,"you will be three ,living in your room, because it's now becoming very crowdy these days,so we have to put three children,but earlier it was just two,I told the headmaster that it will be good to have some more room's but he doesn't have time to give an ear to my words…"
I went on hearing him ,he was talking as if he is the only advisor to the headmaster and the school will not move on if he will not be there.We started climbing up the stairs,and took 2turns to the right side,the building was well constructed,there were three floors completely painted with light blue color.At last we were in front of our room,the door was open but no one was inside.
"I will pray for you young man, may you get good partners and be careful hhhiiiiu",he said with same smile on his face,I was very much annoyed with the sound which he made at last,I kept on seeing him until he got disappeared and then took my bag and entered the room in which I was going to spend my next four years.
There was no one in the room at that time ,it was not quite big to accommodate there three persons.The bed's were placed in straight row's with a very little bit of gap between them,just suitable for a person to stand and pass through,one bag was already kept at the last bed not more ,but just one and a half times greater than mine.I chose the bed which was at either end,I gently put my bag there and looked at my room ,I was in a dilemma that why that fellow was smiling,but I was not from them who gave response to such stupid fellows,but suddenly I got something,he didn't ask for any money but why?,I was truly amazed at his nature,though he was a stupid but he didn’t ask for any money,it was the first time when I was failed to judge a person,but I didn't get too much time to be with my thoughts,a fellow came running into the room so fast as if his train was getting missed, and within a few seconds a normal height man was in front of me with a loose shirt and low waist jeans' having spectacles with no upper glass frame,and that was the time when I first saw him,the person who changed my life for ever.
"hy! "he said to me smiling in a sweet voice with dimples' on his chiks.
"hi!" I replied and within two minutes we both were interacted with each other, "I am Gopal Krishna upadhyay ,you can call me Goku " Gohu" I replied" no,no,Goku.
"Ok,ok Goku,right?
"Yes"he replied smiling in a very quite way."I am Rajendra,"short form?", "Raj"I replied.
" I am from Pittsburgh", he didn't reply that where he was from,but just kept quiet and I didn't also put pressure on knowing it, what I had to do with that,we both talked for some time on general topics and then was the entry of our third friend,a known person ,it was only that guy whom I saw at the stairs sitting idle,the cool guy ,I was quite but not was the other guy ready to be,"hi!"Goku said with his regular smile"hi ",he also replied but not in the way Goku was.He was quite sad or more probable to say ‘depressed’. He was not in the way we were,he was different, with a cross in one chain around his neck completely looking dashing,I never saw a boy as smart as he was, but his silence was making himself only worse.Goku looked at me as if thinking the same thing which I was.
But I was not in a mood to ask him why he was acting so raw ,and why I should? I didn't know him, even his name so why I should, but I said na Goku did the things which no one else can.
Without thinking about the result he asked him," is there any problem friend? " I was completely stunned at his words,nor could I think he would do this ,the fellow remained quiet for some time but he,after two minutes gave the answer which I had completely not expected" yes there is one but can you please give a reason for why should I tell you about that,"the voice was very thin not so as of the girls but then also a little bit, Goku was also not going to stop right now he gave a plain answer to this plain,question.
" Why? don't you think, I had just asked you for that".
"The time will tell everything so,now you should look upon your work only mr.."
Goku"I said in between,how foolish I was to speak in between those two, they both looked at me,as,if I was a criminal.
"oh!thanks old man, now I think we should not waste time fighting here,the dinner would be ready",he said.
"Would you please take some efforts to tell us your name,"I said in a very irritating voice,I was very much annoyed of calling me"old",he considered the moment gravely for a second and then replied "Farhan ,Farhan Mansuri ", but this time there was a smile on his face.
"Where's the dinner hall Farhan, we don't know it, would you please guide us? ,"Goku said looking at me as if expecting from me to favour him ,and I was not going to do that.
“Ok,then follow me”,he said.
We both looked at each other and followed him,by the way he was right in asking for help, we were really not knowing anything about the place and how we would?,we had not spent a day here.We both moved behind him accepting that he would not speak anything,but to our great surprise,he did it,
"you both are very clumsy you know”, he said and smiled but was not looking at us.
We both looked at each other again and Goku smiled but not I,I was angry at him and he was smiling as if having no question of ego in himself,but what could I do rather than locking my head between the leg's in front of these two fellow boy's.After taking two sharp turns we were all in front of a big gate,all the students had already reached the place,we were from those who were at the last,we took a seat at the last end of the second row ,there were nearly five rows of dinning and we were in front of two,no,no,three girls who were also at the same time as were we.They were not at least looking at us,what more shame could happen to a boy in such a situation.
The food was quite good and tasty ,there were ladyfingers,pumpkin pie and mango juice from which a delicious smell was coming ,we ate for half an hour and then Farhan gave a nice burp taking the girls concentration to us,they were laughing in a very familiar manner as girls always do,Farhan looked at us,Goku and I were seeing him constantly.
"What happened is there anything different ?"Farhan said
"No,no,is there anything Raj?”.
He looked at me and I also got it quickly that he was talking to me.
"No,no,nothing, everything is same as it was before your bur...".
Those girls were now laughing at a more higher rate and Goku’s hand was on his head ,Farhan was looking
at me and now I got that I had spoken too much,but than something happened which I wouldn't have believed if someone else would have told to me, Farhan himself also started laughing,Goku also removed his hand from his head in exclamation,we both also started laughing and I can bet that this was the first laugh which those earings would have heard in so many days .
We had a very good time in hall for a few minutes and then we said “bye” to those girls ,but Gokus mischief was not going to stop yet ,I and Farhan moved towards the room and two of those girls also, but not the third,we don't know whether something happened there between them or not but that girl was going to become the back bone of our Goku .
He joined us before we reached the room.
"Where were you?".
"Er,to answer the nature's call"he said and we both started laughing.

THE MISCHIEF
Ourfirst night in the college was really unforgettable, I never had such a night and nor I would want to have it.We slept at nearly ten o clock and,then after two hours started the tragedy.
At that time we were having a deep sleep,but suddenly some noise started coming,Farhan and I woke up together,someone was sleeping taking noisy and irritating snores, it was so loud that even after putting pillows on our ears the sound was stinking like anything.
"Who is that
