P1, P2 and P3 !!
“Abbe P2 uth be, saale 6.45 baj raha hai”
That was Kuldeep my roomie waking me up. Now you might be wondering why was he referring to me as ‘P2′. You may wonder has Venky gone to Dubai and rechristened himself…. The answer is ‘Obviously not’.
This is my new nick name, specific to Villa No. 53 and Room E. For others I am still good ol’ Venky.
Yeah you guessed right. The villa where I stay is Villa No. 53 and the alphabhet that specifies my room is E. On unofficial terms since the place where we stay is away from the city and is a very quiet and slow moving place all of us very fondly (sic!) call it The Central Prison of Meadows.
” Which villa do you stay in?”
“Villa No. 53.”
“What’s your khaidi (prisoner) number?”
“E-2″
Lol… NO! this is not a conversation between two jail inmates. This is a convo between two S P Jain students. As I said, we have developed this new lingo of asking for the room nos in an unique manner.
Now you may say, “All this fine. But what’s with P2?”
Well You see my room is E and the bed no is 2. There are three of us in my room. In order of bed nos it is - Kuldeep Dudeja, Your’s Truly, Parth Kikani.
So this makes Kuldeep - P1, Me - P2 and Parth - P3.
Now you may wonder what is this obsession with the letter ‘P’. P is actually a(n) (extremely) condensed abbreviation for ‘Partner’. Parth arrived later than me and Kuldeep. So previously it was just P1 and me. So we used to call each other ‘Partner’. Now, Parth arrived so when either me or Kuldeep said, “Partner” . The other two would turn and see. So then we devised this scheme of calling each other by our respective bed nos.
Now that I have given a background of what we call each other and a little bit of a background as to what happens in Villa no 53 and Room E, I will tell you about the ‘real’ hostel life and a typical day in the life of a b- school student. So till the next time it’s Venky signing off… Take Care. God Bless.
