Orientation at PESIT

I was feeling a bit cheerful that my college is starting after 3 long months of uneventful holidays. At college I had orientation program on 11th of September. I had no idea that it would turn out like this.

The invitation to program said that it would start at 10 am (it mentioned nothing about end time, people at PES are very clever) I sincerely showed up at the gates of PES at 10:20 am (because of my cozy bed). I feverishly went into the auditorium, and found that it was completely packed (even balcony and upper balcony). As soon as I went in a volunteer came to me and hissed “come with me”. She took me directly near the stage and made me sit a row behind the ‘press’ table. The program had not yet started.

The program started with chief guest as the last arrival. He gave a genuine reason for being late. He said he had gone out with his wife for shopping (who in the hell would go shopping at 9:30 am) the program started of smoothly, after sometime I felt like going to toilet. Other than this nothing went wrong.

A man was seated beside me and a extremely beautiful girl after him. After a while the man got up and went off. I gave the girl a broad smile, but she looked at me as if I was a monster in clothes. So I quickly turned away from her. After few minutes I said “hi whats up”, but she got up and walked off to some other row (I can write a book on ‘how to make women hate you’) this incident made me bladder full. By the end of first secession I was excited to go to bathroom.

After first secession (in second secession) there was a lecture on rules and regulations of the college. In between the two secession we had 10 minutes break. When I got up to go to bathroom during break, the same old volunteer came and pushed me back “you are not supposed to leave, the program will continue shortly”. Before I could do anything the second secession started. The director of the institution started hammering us with his slide shows. The AC had made the hall so cold that I was shivering to keep myself warm. If you think that Antarctica is the coldest place on earth then you have not been to PES yet. Director even pointed out that it was the first time the AC was working fine without any glitches. But for me it was creating a hell lot of trouble. For the first time I cursed the guy who invented AC with all the slang I ever knew. I had to sit in this condition of next 1 hour. By the end of the secession so much pressure had been created that it could have need used as a water canon. (used to disperse crowd)

Finally I came out of the hall feeling very very sick. It was an orientation program and there was no direction for restroom. Suddenly I started panicking (what if there is no toilet here). My bladder was so full I would have flooded the whole building. I asked a guy who was standing near me for directions to bathroom. He told me that that there is a bathroom in basement. To tell u the truth, it is damn painful to climb stairs when your bladder is full. By the time I reached the toilet most of my underwear was soaked. Finally I emerged out of bathroom feeling really really happy.

Dear friends it is once in a lifetime experience so I hope you all have privilege to be in a situation like me.
