them were a part of B-bot, a wing loc<strong>at</strong>ed on the ground<br />

floor of the rightmost section of the hostel. There was a<br />

separ<strong>at</strong>e p<strong>at</strong>hway th<strong>at</strong> went around the gardens and led<br />

straight to B-bot. The P<strong>at</strong>hway was lit by lamps and<br />

provided a wonderful sight to anybody walking on it. But<br />

this sight was pinching Haddi as he walked on the<br />

p<strong>at</strong>hway along with six others. He was thinking deeply<br />

about the today’s events. It had been a roller coaster<br />

ride. From getting a dikka in a course in which he was<br />

sure to get a fakka he had went to getting a fakka in a<br />

course where he had a sure shot dikka. Haddi’s stream<br />

of thought was broken by a loud shout from Vodka<br />

“Abe Haddi, maarenge mar jaoge! Chalo na jaldi, daaru<br />

peeni hai”<br />

Haddi’s legs had not kept up with his thoughts. While<br />

everyone else had already reached the wing, he was still<br />

quiet a distance from it. Haddi’s quickened his pace to<br />

The gardeners of the Hall had a feeling th<strong>at</strong> if they were<br />

not drowning the grass in w<strong>at</strong>er then it would become<br />

yellow. So Every night they used to connect a pipe to<br />

the tap in the center of the garden, lay it in the middle<br />

of the garden and turned it on.Consequently the garden<br />

had a full 2-3 inch layer of w<strong>at</strong>er which had turned areas<br />

where any grass was absent into a mud pond.<br />

Unfortun<strong>at</strong>ely Chashmish’s shortcut took him right<br />

through the mud pond. As a result he had to <strong>at</strong>tend to<br />

the 3kg of mud and grass leaves <strong>at</strong>tached to his slippers<br />

and the place to do th<strong>at</strong> was the royal B-bot b<strong>at</strong>hroom.<br />

There are a very few places in the world where the<br />

B<strong>at</strong>hrooms are more lavish than the buildings where<br />

they reside. IIT Kanpur’s hall-2 was one of such places.<br />
