My Lost days of Jodhpur National University

When I began my college at JNU I knew nothing of its stature. All I wished for was a degree, a place to live and bearable food. Slowly I realized that JNU was more than these meager elements. In JNU I was introduced to a wide range of knowledge. Teachers, who were participants in every conversation inside the classroom and sometimes outside too. I was  befriending more and more people, more students and more teachers were exposing my mind towards an environment that in some way was making me fall in love with this place. Often we would walk around in the campus at night and think If we would get lost in this Huge campus we were living in. Fortunately, we never were. No matter how ever dark it was, few street lights brought us back to our rooms anytime. It was quite beautiful you know? This whole experience still haunts me when I lie back on my bed after a tiring day at the office. Often I get deeply emotional thinking about Jodhpur University now and then.

 I particularly remember of this friend called, Zeeshan in JNU. We were the best of friends. We were living next to each others room in the hostel. Zeeshan was a mechanical engineer and had a pretty rusty cooler.

Often I would see him fixing his cooler since he was experimenting on it now and then. These dessert coolers were the most essential comfort we had. after a tiring class of medicine. During these days zeeshan was experimenting with the cooler. He was too much into the mechanics of it and finally successfully ruined the cooler. When I suggested him to take the cooler to the authority and get it fixed he got scared and decided to keep mum.  In the next 3 days he fell sick and his condition was forwarded to the guy in charge of the hostel. At first I got frightened, if they will scold him for ruining the cooler, but fortunately they were pretty helpful. Zeeshan was shifted to the on campus hospital. It was okay since after my classes I could manage to share my lunch with him on his bed.

 It was during this time I realized the authenticity of the promises they had made when I was applying at Jodhpur National University. It was during this time I realized Jodhpur University was not just a campus, it was a home. A safe home where we felt more comfortable than ever. And who would have guessed? Zeeshan's room had a new cooler attached the next day. He never experimented with the cooler again and never had to visit the hospital again. I just wished for a degree in my entire life, but I gained lot more from Jodhpur National University. I gained memories that I wont possibly forget and a home I would want to revisit, again and again.
