The Must Haves For A Tiwarian
So, you have just joined this college and are vying to get used to the new environment. New place,
new faces, new friends all sum up for an exciting journey in the forthcoming years. However there
are certain things which are an absolute must being a student of this college…
1. Tiffin! : Unconventional for a college student though, but having a large group of friends (read
hungry) and opening your dabba in front of them means a mad rush for every bit of your Mom
kehaathkakhana. It will take 10 seconds flat. Get something sumptuous and it takes even less. No
civilized etiquette here! Nothing comes close to this craziness and you can do all these antics only
in college. Still hungry? There’s always Canteen!
2. Vehicle! : Accept it. Anybody who has a vehicle is a king here! Be it a two wheeler or four
wheeler….anything that takes you to Mcd or station is a boon for you. You know someone who owns
a two wheeler become friends! And somebody who owns a car…hell, worship them!
3. Anything that protects you from the sun! : The long tiring trek to and from the college in
sweltering heat demands all kinds of protection for you. Caps, scarf, goggles, and even umbrella to
protect you from becoming an African by the time you pass out. A step further, get a mask to shield
you from being diagnosed with all kinds of lung infections after 4 years! Car owners! Yes I can see
that smile on your face!
4. ID card! : Unexpected right? Bring it else gate se hi bhejdenge! Unless and until watchman uncle
recognizes you!
5. Trekking shoes (Woodland preferred):Agreed; the road is half done. But looking at the amount
of rubble and construction going around it is apt for the conditions! And during monsoons (LOL) it’s
as important as the umbrella!
All of these equips you to face the college, nature and time as well. And yes don’t forget the regular
bag, pen, books!
