A Tribute To The Hostel!

-Author: Hardik Rami
My first visit to the hostel was like an adventure in the new world.
I went to the E-block and I saw a completely novel environment…loud music was filling the air...people were chattering…TV room was thundering with voices (of course it was a cricket match).
But what I really liked is the liveliness…our hostel has a motto of “All for one…One for all!”
Now I love her...I feel myself at hostel…her rooms and all the residents say one thing that “let yourself live with reality and happiness” no one can feel alone & lonely at hostel…
Now some light on her beloved…
You may feel that hostelites are dull and dumb when you first see them…but appearance is a deception...hostelites are the real talented students of our college…not only academics but also they rock in every field…
As we know most of the toppers are from the hostel…we had GATE AIR 20 last year from hostel...and don’t forget a guy who went to IIM-C from LDCE, again the hostelite...! The SAE BAJA team is mostly comprised of the hostelites…
Our technical and cultural events find their life from the hostel…guys from C-block work for endless nights to make challenging robotics tracks for the Teqnix every year...And we see the most rocking robotic events better and better every time…even LEAF, JagteRaho and Vox Populi are the brain child of the hostel…
We have great sportspersons out there…I know a guy who has played county cricket at England…we have state champions in the table tennis, hand ball and football...not to forget many who had played state cricket…
Art and literature are getting respect & love…so many of the hostelites are awesome at painting, and sketch drawing…someone is writing a novel from his experiences!!! (If you are reading this, let me tell you, I consider you as a hostelite just like me…!) At least 10 languages are spoken in the hostel…
And ya music rocks in every block…music from every genre is popular…you can find Sufi and Rock playing at 3:00 am simultaneously with the cold breeze in the corridors…Nobody can beat them when it’s a matter of fashion…they are the coolest!
All the religions are worshipped…hostelites arranged Ganesha mahotsav and Saraswati puja every year…
To sum it up...we have great legacy and culture with the hostel...she is an integral part of the college…as the hostelites to our life…
These are the people living away from their families…but finding their new life and relatives at the hostel…pure by the hearts…sensitive and optimists…genius and artist…but mostly themselves…the real identity always…
So my all the friends at hostel…you are the guys who care for me selflessly…and same from myself…I will always remember the time I spend with you…I will never forget the sunset, I saw on the terrace, Night talking session at the cricket ground, on Nescafe and at the tank. And also the countless parties…!!!

let me remind u i m a localite...
this note is for them who doesnt know abt the hostel!!!

So finally, the day has come. I am leaving the "Jannat/Dream Room/E502/E001/JagteRaho HO/Xplode's Room"(Different names, same address, E 502, LDCE HOSTEL).
