20 October,2008.
Universities are universal. The culture of universities varies from country to country. Atleast, universities in India and the UK. Well, each university has its own merits and limitations.
Entering into the university life is a special transition for every student. Few consider it as a starting milestone in the race of converting dreams into realities, others consider the campus life for enjoying youthness, some aim for getting rid of a decade old uniform, sports fratenity for others and the list goes on.
No matter what aim a student plans, but the one common goal is to set in a university with good infrastructure and faculity. Well, this time I am not discussing about academics, goals, philosophies, orientation, focus and other high profile evergreen university terms.
Its all about the recreation.
The most amazing stuff I noticed in the universities in the UK is a pub on campus. SOUNDS WEIRD TO ME. Not against it, but on campus bars somewhat sounds like hen laying golden eggs. Yeah, the commercial aspect of universities.
Lecutres and bars operating simultaneously. Ruining the university environment. Same chunk of people doing the same chunk of activities over again and again. Its like a vicious circle.
When you really require to visit a place like this, you may notice the same environment. The speical feeling is dead and buried.
People buy drinks, start conversations and the same music with no variety in it is played. I describe about few topics of conversations either inside the bar or just at the enterance:
1) Football
2) People complaining about groups to friends. Critisizing group mates for not putting up a best shot.
3) How to quit smoking.
4) This music sucks big time.
5) Why is the entry is not free today? I bet nothing for a change today.
6) My make up gone. Lets update the face.
7) Gossips about people not present on the ocassion.
8) Planning after parties at the beginning of a special night.
9) Who the fuck describes about the party theme?
10) I must not miss my train.
11) The bar must get going in the week ends.
12) Sick bruv.
13) Yoy know what I mean.
14) Weird!
15) Please change the DJ.
16) What slang did you learn today?
17) Stupid accent.
18) Hey!! lets go early!! free drinks on offer!!
19) Happy hours!!
20) Dead place.
Brief description about each.
1) Football: A universal sport. Its like a warzone where supporters from each team dressed into the same jersey. COMMON SHIT FUCK SICK MAFIA I NEED ANOTHER DRINK BRIBED ETC are common terms. Tense matches may turn up supporters into violence. Damn!! Luckily, my primary sports is cricket. Gentlemans' game. :)).
2) Academic groups: The blame game is always on and the university ID inbox is full with requests to change groups, requests to abosrb individuals left into any group and sometimes offering incentives like cash, people taking a piss on the weakest candidate in the group, each individual having different opinions, no signs or lack of communications within the groups, borrowing somebodys work for a night and obviously not submitting the assignment on time.
3) Smoking: I quit cigarettes everytime after smoking one, it fucks my money, the machine is damn expensive and issues less cigarettes, can i borrow a cigarette bruv, i really hate people borrowing cigarettes from me, this my last cigarette, quit it or quite it and rolled cigarettes are better and cheaper.
4) Music: Same old music, all songs sound same from a distance, ohhh damn, change the genre, did somebody bribed you to put the same music again and again? hell, i am wasted and this music pisses me off, lets get out and feel the environment, weird tone, put some desi .......
5) Entry: i always swear not to go in when the entry is not free and i always do. thats sick, ohh!! whats new today, i could have stayed in the halls, same old faces, this place sucks, its a dead place tonight, good night for after parties in halls, wednesdays and fridays in a newly opened bar and dress weirdly and get free entry, i am hitting tonight. i am a member of the society.
6) Lady shit: Lands up in another world but the make remains intact, ohh congrats!! its my 100th visit to washroom for updating make up, tiny tots color combination, half wardrobe in the bag, high heels alarming, sun glasses during night? make up kit getting vacated in one night, haunted by hair styles and god knows whatelse......
7) Gossips: Do i need to mention about it?
alcohol+frustation+opportu
where

8) Planning: people are more interested in after party plannings. Atleast, the venue is different everytime. best time for the host to earn. selling drinks, cans and cigarettes 10 times higher.
Wasted people being observed by semi-decent people and enjoying the free comedy show.
9) Party themes: A beach night during -1deg c. WHAT THE FUCK!!
