TheWitnessStand: One Year In CNLU, Patna.

It’s been a month staying and studying at CNLU and I have come to know what actually college life is.

It’s been a month full of joy and merry making; a month which gave me my second home with amiable family members (friends, seniors and professors). It also took a good toll of my patience and withstanding arduous circumstances’ abilities which actually primed me meticulous and painstaking.

I’m always betrothed with some work in the college and have a particular schedule which I’ve been following for the last one month and I really keen on it because it always keeps me active and occupied. In the beginning I felt that it won’t be possible for me to keep pace with the new schedule and would surely fall behind, but gradually I was in the swing of the new things and was ready to gear up to the changes. The Parliamentary Debate sessions, the mock MUN sessions, the juvenile politics, girls ‘and’ friends, are all quite engaging and endearing but above all these, are those people who are actually behind all these activities (except for the “girls ‘and’ friends” part) and without whose support and efforts we wouldn’t have had these myriad opportunities: our seniors.

Before arriving at the college, I wondered how the college is going to be, and essentially how the seniors (especially the immediate seniors) are going to be; callous, harsh, unsympathetic, inconsiderate or any other adjective synonymous to these? But to my surprise they turned out to be warm-hearted, soft, sympathetic and considerate.

They are quite helpful, understanding and always there to help and guide you whether it be related to any subject matter or extracurricular activities. There is no fear in our minds when we communicate with them. What we have for them in our minds is admiration and the words ‘Sir’ and ‘Ma’am’ come out of respect for them and not because of any pressure or unwarranted influence. There is nothing called ‘gap’ between us for the reason that we have developed a fiduciary relationship now.

There are all kinds of seniors available here- one to help and assist you with your studies, another to help you out with your extracurricular activities and another to advise you how to tackle with the exam trepidation. Some are ‘sociologists’ who would go on advising you about how to socialize with others in the college and here happens to be some ‘psychologists’ as well who would tell you what kind of a mindset one has and whether it is advisable to converse with any particular person or not. This is the reason why I personally like to touch base with them on a regular basis. The positive interaction which we had in our introduction sessions during the first couple of weeks with our seniors was quite beneficial as you get to gel up with them and with your batch mates as well and also get to know the protocols of college life. Every time I felt like having more and more of such interactions. It’s quite obliging to have such understanding and cooperative seniors.
