I talked to Umesh and he said I just gave an overview on this topic. He said this event can't be bundled off as a single page. He is right and I knew it but I didn't wanted things to be lengthy so I restrained myself from elaborating it. As a matter of fact I don't remember what happened exactly. We were blocking the road and enjoying that like anything.Lot of things happened in the college and I think not being there was an mistake but still I was there on the road doing some real nasty stuff....Kinna nasty stuff for me coz that was the first time I ever did that and I never imagined that I will be doing that..
Untill now I treated this blog as an rough draft for the book I am planning to come up with in coming years. But as I am getting into the events, I learned there's more to the book . It's more about the life we had back then and it would describe a lifetime for many of us. Kuddos to Umesh for making me goo deep into every event.The life back then was not even imaginable at these times. I was more in a sort of traversing back to history regardless of what happened around me. I became totally absorbed in the past that I almost forgot that I have a train to catch. Anyhow I made it to the train and now I am seated on a bench @ Seawood station.
There's lot to write about the Students Union. I think that was the first time every Student of the college came together for a common cause.I will give that credit to one person, Sandeep. Regardless of what we were at that time , one thing was sure we came out of that strike as different individuals. Individual was not a concern at all , all that mattered was "US". The road block even though it was a partial success, it let us know one thing, that we can change things with a little bit of effort. It was something that changed my view about things and when I did that thing(inflated the tyre) I knew everybody is behind me and no matter what they are gonna be by my side. That gave me a special feeling of being one among everyone.Though it was just a small thing to do compared to what we end up doing in later years ,but that was enough to break the silence of non-doing or it was enough to break the shackles.
Sandeep was staying with us and we discussed lot of things about this thing, but there was a different person altogether on the scene. I dunno how he managed to manage the un managed things. He was the person responsible for making us think in the same way regardless of what party he was affiliated too. I know he will never take credit for that. but it would be unfair on my part if I dont say anything about him. Sandeep was the perfect person we all ever needed. He kept other's interest ahead of his own and that made him darling of all. He always had an view and that seperated him from the crowd.
