Being CANDYD

Lessons learnt...

My last post was quite the sermon from the mount :) :) on a totally different note...

Life in a all girls college is not easy-especially if one has spent their entire life in a co-ed environment... I remember on the first day of college i walked into the our canteen, a sea of colourful salwar kamezs blinded me for a few seconds and all i could see were girls, girls and more of the fair sex. There were no guys pushing, no scavengers(jus kiddin guys) trying to grab at whats in your plate and no classmates asking to be treated to a samosa or begging for ten bucks for a lime juice!! Now i am not a boy crazy teenager quite the opposite in fact, but it suddenly hit me that i just walked through the portals of some kind of alternate universe where there wasnt going to be of that ... atleast not on the same scale!!In class i find my self wishing every once in a while that one of my school classmates( a guy whose humour i found immensely immature) would pop put of nowhere and crack one of his lame pjs. Its not that i dont have fun in college or that our class lacks pranksters, its just that a guys sense of humour however dirty makes a boring class interesting. I never thought i would miss male company so much but boy was i wrong!!
I recall an interesting conversation with priti (the boss) some time ago- the two of ur marvelled at the difference in conversation topics and in the quality of conversation within our gang in college. Seems like someone was not wrong when they said that we woman always need men(!)... now dont get me wrong i am quite the feminist - wont go all the way to brassiere burning though- but my point is women need men, however independent, assured or self confident we are.. I can just imagine that cocky grin on the face of any guy reading this post and all i have to say to you is it works both ways mister, it works both ways...
Ultimately life in college has taught me two lessons -to treasure my guy friends(even if i want to strangle them at times- make that most of the time) and to enjoy the fun, the insanity, the wierdness(yes that too in small measures!) , the madness ... the joy of being one of ten unique, crazy, maniacal,beautiful girls each one of us more insane than the next , young souls painting our world red! That my friends is what i have learnt in my first year in college... apart from the studies, the notes, the xeroxs , the submissions and the assignments( cant forget that now can we?)!! :)
