Juniors !!!
Over the summer, and in yet another instance of our unique, entrepreneurial skills, we moved entire library from Arts college to the new building. Many of us looked like
after the heavy lifting!!! (sorry ladies I do not have a female Schwarzenegger picture)
It was with a heavy heart that we moved from the historic Arts college where many great men and women walked the hallways not to mention MA English girls. The 'guard of honor' that was our routine would no longer be performed. Lounge seemed to be a far away place. 'Canteen-under-the-tree' was even farther.
First few days of our 'senior' year was still spent in Arts college where we welcomed 'juniors'. Not to allow what we did to our seniors, juniors were made to feel at home. We asked one of our junior (I remember the girl's face but not the name) to tell us a joke
Junior: Why did John go to the school with ladder?
We: Dont know.
Junior: B'cos it was a high school.
Our expressionless faces and the awkward silence irritated the girl no bound. We took all the juniors to the Canteen, bought them tea and brought them into our fold. Down the road junior-senior relationship started blurring and our group seem to have just grown bigger.
The new building looked deserted, cold and lifeless but we decided to make a difference. That is when we realized it was 25 years since the department started and EGP was retiring !!!
Next blog...Silver jubilee celebrations!
