C2 Two

Behind civilized human society, many unseen aspects were hidden behind the unknown, some of which were dangerous. Only an unknown person would try to know this unknown. Sometimes the traveller would choose his path, sometimes the road chooses his traveller. I read these words in many books, but I did not understand the meaning before. But this path seemed to reveal the real meaning of the statement to me.

The paved road of the forest was completely covered with fog and the darkness of the night. Even the light of the flashlight in my hand can't break the darkness of that hazy armour. The sands of silence all around seemed to have limited the noisy state of this busy world to the borders of the jungle. Just quiet silence all around! The rustling of the leaves in the air and the sound of the wind blowing at high speed make this silence even stronger. The moonlight seemed to be reluctant to come to the surface of this dark forest land, creating an all-new moon situation. This form of darkness is slowly captivating my mind. The beauty of this black dark environment had bound me in a bond. Novelist Sharchandra Chattopadhyay in his novel "Srikanta" had described the unique form of darkness, the form I now saw with my own eyes in this forest of Phulbari.

As I was walking along that foresty road to enjoy the beauty of this forest, the waves of a very fast wind blew away my joy and blew my hair away. But for a moment it seemed as if the cold black shadow of this wave had touched my face. It seemed to me then that this wave of cooling seemed to go away in my ears.

Anyway, I took that road and finally reached the college. Then it was absolutely night. A large cement road at the end of the forest and a college next to it. Large iron gate painted silver. Mountain Zee College was written on it. The red main college building was in the middle of the huge walled campus. It had a library on the west wing and a college sports facility and parking area on the east wing. The Girls Hostel was a short distance from Main Building. A forest of oak and fir trees all around and a large lake in front have multiplied the beauty of the college. The portrait of the college surrounded by fog under the night sky looked like one of Aladdin's magical castles in that magical world. It was as it looked like if every person entering this fort, which was shrouded in many mysteries, will be bound by its illusion bondage, from which there was absolutely no hope of liberation.

I stood in front of the main gate of the college, saw a doorman sitting in a chair in front of the gate, lighting a fire, and singing a song in his mother tongue, wrapped in a blanket to escape the cold of the night. I don't remember the lines. But I remember exactly what the song is about tonight.

I walked over to her. I greeted him as Ram Ram, Chachaji and asked, "Where is Girls Hostel"? He was at first a little surprised to see a new college student arrive this night.

"You came at this time, at this night! Well show me your ID?" He asked in a surprised manner.

At first, I was a little puzzled, but I quickly managed to control myself and get the file out of my bag. It contained my college admission card. I showed him my admission card. He took the card from me and looked at the card for a while, and took the phone out of his pocket and called someone. In a few moments, a man named Ram Singh came. He showed it to me and told me to take Madam to the girl's hostel. I bowed to him, crossed the gate of the college and entered. As soon as I took my first step, I felt as if a new chapter had begun in my life. I then thought this college was a ladder of success in my life. But college made my life a part of a century-old history and changed so much in my life. I never thought it would bring big change.

The warden at the college hostel showed me my room. For the first time in my life, I would get my room. It's a new experience in my life. My college would start the next day. I was lost in the world of fantasies thinking about what my first day of college would be like. But I wanted to make some good friends on the first day.
