I still remember my first day at Dahanukar College which was actually the second day of college. Yes I was absent on my very first day of degree college. To be frank, I was very nervous with all unknown faces around me. As i entered my classroom everyone around had formed their own so called “GROUPS” and at that very moment I cursed myself for not showing up on first day. My good luck I was not the only 1 left out. There was this girl named priyanka with whom I started chatting and soon we became friends.
As time passed on we had 2 more friends- dipali and sushmita in our group. Yes by now we had our own group. Just kidding. So, our college is kind of strict with its rules and regulation. At first I was uncomfortable with all those rules and stuff. But then it was not that bad. To my amazement I found my college best in its own ways. There is constant feedback taken from us on various aspects of college facilities and they are being responded quickly. Unlike other colleges, I found our faculties and coordinators best. If we have any issues regarding anything, all we have to do is get them informed.
After a while, we friends decided to join NSS as we were very determined to bring a change in society. Through NSS, I found myself shaping my personality in different way. We attended 7 days camp without using cell phones, cooking our own food, sharing everything we had, etc. It was fun and at end of the day we had beautiful memories.NSS gave me platform to where I overcame my weakness. I was alone when I started my studies over here but today I have more than 30 friends and together we indulge in many social activities and college fest also.
Our college has this very interesting concept of job skill wherein we are trained and molded in perfectly for our future jobs. It enhances us with powerful skills wherein we feel more confident. I have seen changes in me throughout this program. I have seen myself grow impeccable. This program involves various activities, role play, creativity, interactive session and many more.
The best moment I cherish always was when I performed for the first time in my life at College Annual show where we stood second. More than being in top 3 performances, I felt jubilant receiving compliments from the audience after performance. My journey till now has always been something which I feel happy about. Chahe voh tapir ki chai ho, ya baarish mein doston ke sath bhigna – I have enjoyed it all.
