Between Books And Butterflies

Chapter 3: college Chronicles

Dear Diary,
It's been two weeks since I started college. It's not bad, but I've found a great friend in Kartik. He's so nice. Most of our professors are friendly, except for one - the English professor. Anyway, I also made new friends named Rohan and Shubham. They're Kartik's friends, but they're cool. Still, I miss my Kavu. Okay, bye Diary...

I tucked my diary away in my drawer and headed to college.

             (Ignore the background)
                      *Tanvi's Outfit*

When we reached college, we found out that the first lecture was canceled. We were thrilled, but then suddenly Rohan screamed,

"guys! Check out that girl over there. She's the one I saw at the library a few days ago."

"Whoa, Rohan! Looks like you've found your 'love at first sight'." Shubham said.

Please guys, help me naaa. Y'all such a great friends of mine. Please help me out... Rohan begged .

Alright, team, time to kick off 'Mission Bhabhi'!" I said excitedly.

"Count me in! Let's make this happen." Shubham said

As a only girl in the group I approached that girl and introduced myself, "Hi there, I'm Tanvi Awasthi. What's your name?"

"Hi, Tanvi. I'm Anaya Chaudhary. Nice to meet you!" She said.

As a good friend I introduced her to my friends,
"Anaya, meet Kartik, Shubham, and Rohan . And friends she's Anaya.
and then we headed to the canteen because Shubham was hungry, as usual.
At canteen,
Rohan: "So, Anaya, what brings you to our college?"

Anaya: "I'm in my first year, studying BCOM. What about you guys?"

Rohan: "We're all in first year, BA English Hons. It's great to have you here, Anaya."
Kartik chal Rohan ki tang khichte hai, I whispered in ear of Karthik.

"Are tanvi and shubham chalo Hume class Jana hai Rohan and Anaya you guys carry on"

And shubham and I laughed hard. Then rohan said, "are me bhi AA raha hu chalo."

said bye to Anaya, and went to our lecture. It was English, a subject I like but not with that professor.

As we entered the classroom, the professor arrived too.

"Good afternoon, class. Let's dive into our English literature lesson." Professor said.

"Ugh, English class again. I like the subject, but that professor..." I Whispered.

"But hey, at least it's better than calculus!" Said Karthik. And agreed with it.
"Hey, you guys, today also you want to get out of my class. If not, then sit quietly." Said professor.

"Oh no, not the 'getting out of class' plan again. Maybe next time." Karthik said.

"No plans of leaving, Professor. I'm here for the knowledge." I said confidently.

Great to hear!Let's dive into today's material. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask." Professor said.

After half hour, professor wants something to announce, he said,
"so class I want to give you a task, so the task is related to our topic means this poem. So this poem is about love. So I want you to think like poet and writer a poem about what is love for you.

Kartik: "A love poem? Sounds interesting."

"I'm excited! Writing poems is one of my favorite things to do." I said

Professor: The launguage is up to you means in English ya in Hindi. I know I teach you english but I want y'all to express yourself. So launguage not matters.And tomorrow y'all going to read it infront of me and class.Make them meaningful, everyone."

"I can't wait to hear everyone's poems. It's going to be amazing!"

Kartik: "No lectures and poetry reading? Not a bad deal at all."

Rohan: "I have no clue how to write a love poem. Help me out, guys!"

"Don't worry, Rohan. We've got your back."

Professor: "Class dismissed. See you all tomorrow."

"Time for psychology and philosophy..Philosophy is my favorite!" I said excitely

Actually me and Rohan choose Philosophy and Shubham and Karthik choose psychology.

Kartik: "You lucky duck! I've heard your the philosophy teacher is awesome. Ours professor is boring as hell. "

"Yeah, she's incredible. Can't wait for her class." I said.

Actually the teacher was sweet, and the subject fascinated me. After college, I came home and made my favorite Maggi. I was enjoying my maggi.Mom said,

"How was college today, baby?"

"It was good, Mom. Busy but good."I said.

"And how are your friends? You seem happier these days." Mom asked.

"Yeah, they're amazing. Oh, I forgot to tell you about Anaya... I met her today she's so sweet" I said.

"It's nice to see you making new friends, Tanvi." Mom said

"Yeah, it's been fun. Thanks for the maggi mumma." I replied.

Then, as a ritual, I called Kavu. And

"Hey, Kavu! . How's everything going with you?"

Kavya: "Hey, Tanu! College life is crazy here in Mumbai. I miss you!"

"I miss you too, Kavu. You won't believe the adventures I've had in Delhi!"

Kavya: "Tell me everything! I want to hear every detail."

"Well, remember Rohan? He's convinced that he's found 'the one'. So we take the mission 'Mission Bhabhi.'

Kavya: "No way! That's hilarious. You have to keep me updated on 'Mission Bhabhi'!"

"Definitely! But enough about me. How's life in Mumbai? Made any new friends?"

Kavya: "Yeah, I've met this girl, Tina. She's pretty cool. We're hitting it off."

"That's awesome! Just be careful, alright? You never know who you can trust."

Kavya: "Don't worry, Tanu. I've got this. After all, who needs enemies when you've got a protective Mumma like you?"

Tanvi: "Haha, very But seriously, take care of yourself, okay?"

Kavya: "I will, Tanu. Thanks for looking out for me. You're the best!"

"Anytime, Kavu. Friends come and go, but This is for life. Ohh fuck, I forgot. I have to write poem. Kavu I have to byee kavu. Love yaaa...

I cut the phone.How could I forget that?...
