'They were the best years of my life'

LOOKING BACK

About her college life, she says, “If I look back, I can easily say that college gave me some of the best chapters of my life. They were the best years of my life. Each and every day in college was a lot of fun and very exciting.” Radhika admits that she was not very studious and was more interested in fests and other cultural programmes, which were held both in her college as well as other colleges.

She says, “My heart always yearned to go towards the auditorium. I have spent some of my best days there. I used to prepare and practice for the dance competitions, which were held in both our college and other colleges during the various fests.”

Coping with classes, exams, doing assignments and managing attendance was not very tough for Radhika. “My teachers were very sweet. They used to always take time out and teach me even after college hours. They would clear all my doubts during exam time. I also had a bunch of faithful friends, who would keep notes for me when I was away participating in something or the other. They also used to complete my assignments for me and reduce my burden.”

As a student, Radhika also bunked classes and had loads of fun during her college fest Cul-ah. She also had fun teasing guys who came to their college fest. “I’ve had the experience of bunking. But I also got attendance because most of the time, I used to be participating in some activity or the other. It was a lot of fun to bunk and sit in the canteen and talk for hours together.”
