Bomb scare at PESIT

The college started today as usual. The classes commenced at 8:15 in the morning. There were not much of disturbances except that some students who came late tried to jump into the class through open window.

We get ½ an hour break after every 2 classes. During this time I went out to buy 2 refills for my pen. Outside the building a police bike was parked; nearby, its owner was talking to the principal of the college. While I was passing them, I heard the police say “its better to get all the students out” I should have guessed something fishy was going on, but at that time my pea brain was filled with thoughts of the girl walking next to me. I went outside college( as the campus mart was completely filled with students).i bought 2 refills from shop nearby and came back to college.

To my astonishment all the students were coming out of the building (as in film kindergarten cops) a mob was being created in the drive way. When I tried to enter the building a college security guard stopped me and said “you cannot go in” and asked me to stand with the rest of the students. I had left my bag in the classroom and I had to get it now. There is a saying that “there is a hero inside every one of us” the hero inside me probably did not have time sense, came out at this point.

Since they had blocked the main entrance of the building, our superhero (that’s me) tried to enter into the building from back gate 9near the canteen). My bag was still a hostage on the fourth floor of the building. So our superhero had to go up up and away to get it back. As I entered the building, I could hear the MI2 music going on in my head. Our superhero instead of using the stairs, jumps into the elevator with six other like him. But the elevator stopped at very first floor and a guard a hyperexitedly asked all of us to step out and go to drive way. But our stubborn superhero dose not give-up. He uses the stairs at the other end and reaches the second floor. There he is once again caught by a teacher, but this time the teacher personally took me out of the building.

There was a traffic jam in the driveway, other than this the situation was completely calm. Students were standing in groups talking jokes. When the principal declared holiday everyone shouted “yaaa”. Even though the whole building was evacuated the canteen was still running. A group of police care and sniffer dogs came into the seen. As I was standing in the driveway a cop was telling us to go out of campus. Even if a bomb had blown off just in front of him, nothing would have happened to him as he had a 7 inch thick armor of fat.

As me and my friends were going out of campus, the director was coming in, in his black SUV (Honda CRV). Finally we came out of college without even a single fart going off.

Hey nice and informative post. I guess you would have got your bag back. Weren't you aware of what exactly was going on? You don't seem to explicitly mention about the college informing you the exact reasons for evacuation. I'm guessing if you had known, you wouldn't have entered the building. However funny the entire incident might seem to you, I guess you should value your life more than anything else.
