Me and Appu...

How is college different then school...

Honestly speaking my school days were the most horrible days of my life.People say they miss their schools days,they were very lucky.The main reason is that i and my bro were mostly busy in our swimming world so we hardly use to visit school and we dint even had a group..the group was only me and my brother.I think my fellow mates were very jealous of me :p.So you guys till now would have imagined how my school days were.I passed my 10th std very successfully with 90%.The tension after results are the college admissions.I was in Jaipur for my senior nationals,at that moment the admission thing and all was going on.My dad handled it and even he was sure that i will get admission anywhere i want because of my sports quota.But guys even sports didn't work the sports cut off got ended at 92% and mine was 90%....so i dint get the college i wanted i.e. Kelkar College.I was very depressed when my dad called me and said this.But few hours later dad again called and said that my admissions in Kelkar is now done,then it clicked it was Management quota.My roll no. was 99 and i was in "A" division.I went college after 3 days when it started.Guys the college was aw sum.I hope my writings are not bugging you up,coz i am not like other writers who take 3 pages to explain just a single thing so as to make their book little thick.Ya the lecture which was going on was chemistry and the mam who was teaching this was Mrs.Gokhale who is the Vice Principal of our college.I attended the lecture and the next lecture was English.The class strength was 120 and all the benches around me were crowded.Guys at that time i saw the competitive world around my class itself,the class was flooded with scholars and again i had to be different from others.Guess what made me different,My swimming guys i got famous in college because of swimming.During mid-October i made new friends named Nikhil,Smeet,Kunj,Snehal,Nirvan,Devanshi,etc......This was my real group who made me feel special and being in a group is being very secured,i just love my friends.I'll explain you each and every persons character

1)Nikhil-He is very funny,being with him is like a fun,u ll enjoy his company,highly flirtious and his most favourite job is bird watching,but with that he was determined for his studies too.He had a sharp mind and was easily able to solve maths.In nature he is very good,very helpful aur gaali toh friends ke beech me chalta hai.He is like my brother.I will never forget him.....

2)Kunj-Kunj is very sensitive and caring girl and too much scholar.She lives near the college.But believe me guys she was highly short tempered girl ,i mean she use to get too angry.But chalta hai........

3)Smeet-Mr.Straight forward and serious.I mean i cant explain him.He is funny,scholar,studious.He is very frank in his nature and is very devoted for his studies by the way his favourite job is bird watching and checking other people's profile on face book(mostly girls)...my 2nd brother i will never forget you...

4)Snehal-Mrs.Chattori.She is a child in fact.She behaves a like a child and during recess time her tiffin i think was the biggest of all,i mean guys who brings dal,roti,kadhi,pickle,rice,fruits in tiffin that too in college.She use to share her tiffin with almost whole group aur humara stomach bhi full hojata.But dil ki bahut achi hai and is like my small sister and i ll make her happy every time......and of course she is a very big fan of Robert Pattinson

5)Nirvan-Mr.Photographer.Every time he came to college he use to click pics of anything in front of him.But his photography is beyond appreciation.He is also love guru.He can explain each and every thing that happens between a guy and a gal...my 3rd brother i will never forget you....

6)Devanshi-Mrs.Obedient.Very silent and scholar in maths and lover of books that to of Sherlock Holmes.Perfect in the way she is.My 2nd sister......

Toh guys life with these kind of friends is beyond explanation and what we guys have done in 11th std i ll tell you later..we are currently in 12th and busy with our studies...so see ya next time,same place,same time........

My First Competition....

My practice was going good.Everyday i use to come at 5.30 swim with the junior group relax and go.This went for 4 to 5 months and my speed was pretty good too,i was unable to cope-up with studies,nevertheless i was engaged in a good sport.But in every group formed in this world there has to be a gabbar in it.In my swimming there was a gabbar who was jealous of me and my brothers fast growing speed.Every time between the session he use to throw our kit,bottles,vigorously splash water but we never replied him or did the same.Our coached announced that 3 weeks later there's going to be a competition whoever wanna participate please fill the form..I and my bro we excitedly filled it and paid all the fees and were practicing with full determination.3 week kaise chale gaye pata bhi nahi chala.The competition was in Khar in a club named Khar Gymkhana.The competition was very well organised,it had to be good after all it was my first competition.Like me i saw many kids with same kind of hopes,i made many new friends of new race and from different clubs.The order of the event was arranged according ascending order of ages..mine was the smallest age group.The races of higher age groups were unbelievably good.My turn took to long but at last it came and i was ready .The pool had 5 lanes i was in the lane 3.I knew that i am the best and no can defeat me.The whistle blew and i dived.The race was of 50mts freestyle and the pool was of 25 mts so 2 rounds of the pool,i swam very fast with my all possible speed and and for a moment i saw behind, there was nobody around me that means i was first and i touched and with a cheer i came out and my mouth remained open,I WAS LAST ,everyone else had finished before me.Guys believe me that moment is very embarrassing,i just wanted something to mask my face and wanted to leave the place.I came out of the pool and cried.My dad appreciated me and hugged me and made me understand that winning is not every thing,i participated that itself is very good and even this was my first competition.The guy who came first was very fast.At that moment everything seemed to be negative and i lost hope in swimming at first competition itself.Everything seemed to be depressing,i was not able to concentrate anywhere.Then someone came who was very positive and made me understand the value of being in a sport,that persons words touched me and with a hope i started to swim again..i pray god that give that person a long life............guess whoz that person?............................
