Mahinda - A Campus with Heart stealing Beauty....

     The clouds are the symbol of dream, the symbol of achievement, the symbol of prestige. Mahinda is such a wonderful campus where you can see and feel the formation of the clouds below your feet and raising in front of you. Nature was showing its true beauty which was faraway from human interruption. That was a true and awesome combination of heart and soul. Every single second was a new experience to me. A land which is far far far away from my home land. Here Nature is having a differently immense beauty. I was just lost myself enjoying that beauty.

     'Hey Uday! Come on man. It's already late. We need to hurry. Otherwise hostel gates will be close.' said Rahul. He was a local boy of Uttarakhand studying in the Vegetable Department. He was a tall lanky guy with high ambition showing in his eyes.
     'Yeah buddy. I am coming. Hey dude. Here Weather is always like this?! ' I asked him.
     'Today is better yaar.. The weather may get more worse than this. you will come to know.' he said.
     'No yaar. The nature is so beautiful here why are saying like that?' I asked him.
     'It's looking cool now but it get more than worse in winter because the temperature fall down below -4 ⁰C.' he said.
       'Ohhhh' that was an unimaginable temperature for me. Then we returned to the hostel and there was an introduction between seniors and juniors. we had or dinner together with our dinner at that night.

 
    It was already two days of after reaching the campus. That day I was roaming in the campus with the friends and enjoying the beauty of the campus. At that time I was getting little familiar with the campus environment. I had also made a good set friends in our batch. We are all M.Sc. students with different departments. There are totally five departments in the campus for M.Sc.. Fruit Science (FSC), Vegetable Science (VEG), Floriculture and Landscape Architecture (FLA), Plantation, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (PMA), Food technology (PHT) and Pathology (PAT). Next day we needed to register to the particular courses.

     Next day it was Introductory class for both B. Sc. and M. Sc. first year students. We all entered the seminar hall to attend that session. Suchitra madam and Deepa madam were giving the introduction to course structure, Credit hours, Number of exams which we need to attend per semester and Marks distribution per exam per course. Then they had an introduction and ice breaking session between all of us students and separated all M. Sc. students as per the respective department. Since I belong to FSC department I came to front seat. I look around me and come to know only girls. There four girls sitting beside me. I introduced myself to them and they told there name to me as Kannika, Neeraja, Megha, Moulya. And suddenly.....         

                                                                                                                               Continues.................... 

Heaven on the earth

     Next day morning 6.15am we reached Mahadwar. The Land of Gods, Devabhumi. This Mahadwar is also known as the Great Door to Land of Hills. It was raining heavy that morning. As we landaed in the Mahadwar, we freshened up ourselves and started to heading towards the our destination called Mahinda. We hired a cab which was a newspaper delivering cab our journey was started. In the beginning of our journey there was a landslide so our journey was delayed by two hours. In between that me and Vishu enjoyed the beautiful view of natural beauty of that place.

     'Dude, this is really heaven on the earth' I said.

    'See the height of those mountain peaks. These mountains are hundred times larger than our native' said vishu.

     'Buddy, this is just beginning of our journey. There is more to come' I said.

     'Let us see dude' he said.

  After two and half hours of delay, the road was cleared and our journey to Mahinda resumed again.  As Steve Maraboli said, 'It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish,' I was thinking that what will be our destiny after two years may be? I got a new friend, moving to a new unknown place, entirely new kind of people, completely different type of culture and life style. In between these I was going to be a PAHADI for next two years.

       The journey was beautiful and breath taking. The complete journey was going through hilly area. One side of the road is deep valley and other side is the mountain peaks that seems to be kissing the sky. By observing this I lost in my deep thoughts. These two are the symbols of the two face of life. Life also have two faces in every situation. For  love there is anger; for destiny there is fear; for pain there is healing; for hurt there is forgiveness; for there is humility; for giving there is taking; for tears there is joy; for rejection there is acceptance; for judgment there is grace; for honor there is shame; for letting go there is keeping. 

      'Hey dreamer, where you lost? come to reality.' said vishu.

    'hhihi! Nothing buddy simply enjoing the view. What a beauty it is!' I said by looking through the window. 

      It was really mind blowing view to anybody who is a keenly worship the beauty of nature. We were travelling through and above the clouds. what a beauty. Nature is always mysterious. It always shows different faces of itself in every single region. I lost my self in that mystery and when our first half of our journey ended I was not realised.

      'Son get down here. We have to catch a different bus from here on-wards.' my father said. It is a place named Vihar which was nearly 20 km away from our final destination. In Vihar we completed our Lunch. Bus was arrived after half an our. The bus was overcrowded and very difficultly we both three got the seet.

      Our journey was again resumed. suddenly I heard a sweet female voice with much angryness arguing with her mother. 'Mumma! Why you kept my bag kept on the floor? Dekho ispe chewing gum Chipak gaya hai. I told you don't keep it on the bus floor. Why don't you here my words.'

     Me and Vishu exchanged look with each other and smiled silently and started to enjoy the view outside. After half an hour of journey we finally reached the Mahinda Horticulture Campus. We get down there and all of us entered the Campus with great aspiration of learning.

      That day we met first time an great inspiration of our life Arjun Sir. He only helped us to select our room and we met our another friend called Mahendra. That ended with small conversation and making the new friends in the Campus.
