Just Another morning @ NITDGP

my alarm clock beeped and i looked out for the time shown by it.it said 5.30 in the morning. i didn't know who had set that alarm time in my clock.
no need to feel sorry 4 me. i was already awake.i had not slept yet.another nightout herein. i had returned late after having a very amusing birthday treat of one of my friends and thereafter got involved in a sort of discussion with my other frnds who have accompanied me to my room.my frnds left for their respective rooms after the so called discussion was over.i was thinking of writing a post on my blog and so i started with it.i didn't notice how the time got spent untill i was startled by the alarm.normally one finds it really difficult 2 remain awake after 3am.
it was morning already when i looked out of my room's window.i was not feeling sleepy.but i was feeling hungry.as such i decided to visit our own Ravida ka jhoops,the multi cuisine restaurant of NIT Durgapur.but it was not opened yet.it was a bit early.
i had nothing to do but to wait 4 some more time.just then an idea struck my mind.i decided to have a morning walk.thus, i moved out of my room and was welcomed by a wonderful breeze.i had never xperienced it like that. i moved on, out of my hostel and started walking with nobody accompanying me.it was just another morning in NIT-D but something was different.i had never heed on the beauty of morning in the campus.i did have a number of nightouts b4 but never did i decide to have a stroll.i had a round of the campus njoying the cool breeze and witnessing the dawn and reached jhoops.i had already observed the smoke coming out of burning of cowdung cakes and coal which Ravida uses in the chulhas.
i reached the jhoops and was received by a greeting,"Morning ".it was Ravida ,already preparing tea. some of the guards were also there.they come there daily 4 their bed tea or first tea i must say.preparations for the day were going on in the adjoining jhoops too.
i gave a smile in reply and asked for a cup of tea.i ordered something to eat.i found prashanto coming from the side gandhi morh on his bicycle that was looking no less than a load carrier.every part of bicycle use for carrying something or the other.the tea had been prepared in the meantime.i noticed Ravida offering some of the tea to God of fire before giving it to anybody else.prashanto took out some of the aggarbattis ,lit them up and started worshiping.then he moved out of the jhoops and started worshiping in a particular direction.he was offering prayer to the Sun God.
just then i came to know where was east direction with respect to our campus. i wonder how many of NITDians know 4m which direction of the college,the sun rises.
u'll definitely meet some stray dogs and loads of mosquitoes if u go that early to jhoops.so don't forget to cover ur body or u'll get eaten and bitten by mosquitoes.
i was having my cup of tea when i saw one of my classmates coming.i was used 2 nigthouts as he prefered the silence of the night for his coding and research work.he was another one who didnt know where the east direction was.i saw some going 4 a jog .some were running with bags on their shoulders to catch a bus and some more returning back 2 college.everyday ppl leave and return to college irrespective of a working day or a holiday.
the weather was brilliant and charming,so it added to the pleasure of having a nightout.every sip of tea giving u some energy.i njoyed it a lot. i finished with my eating stuff and started feeling sleepy now.

mind u ,don't get used to nightouts.they can be harmful to ur health.so just have them for fun and occasionally only.
those who haven't tried it out, have a nightout once and observe the beauty of an NITD morning.
