The 45 Minutes

The 45 minutes of a lecture in college is the most fascinating time in a student’s life. For some, it means gossiping about something like a new dress or a new TV show for some girls while FIFA updates for boys… there are some students who work in BPO night shifts and for them this 45 minutes is like the ‘sleep of lifetime’. The other types of students are the book-worms types who take the 45 minutes so seriously that they complete notes and pay full attention in what the professor say!

These 45 minutes for me is the most enjoyable moment if I had  my best friend with me. Alas! The college cannot see me be happy, so the year before they had drew a border line between me and my best friend. They divided us into two different divisions. Now, in my last year of college, I don’t have my best friend with me and now the entire 45 minutes have changed for me…

I sit all alone on my bench, happy when no one sits with me and I really get annoyed when some one does. Today, it was a free 45 minutes lecture. I was just sitting on my bench and scribbling on a page, and then I thought of writing something just when all the chit-chatting of the entire class was falling on my ears. It all seemed to be so alienated. The mixed language and mixed up tones and topics are the most difficult thing to understand, trust me!

Usually when I sit in the 45 minutes lecture, I find my self staring at the professor’s shirt’s brand or the accessories the lady teachers are wearing. Or just find myself noting down what the professor’s saying with completely no idea what it is! I asked my friend in the break, whether she feels the same and she said, “Yes!” I asked a few more unfortunate people like me who are being separated from their friends and to my happiness; I wasn’t the only odd one out!!!

A 45 minutes lecture with no best friend around is the worst 45 minutes, trust me!!! But as every coin has two parts, after the 45 minutes lecture is over and when we head towards the corridor to meet our friend its like the happiest feeling as if it has been a lifetime. But end of the day we have to eventually realize that life isn’t the 45 minutes, instead after college no one stays in touch in person just keep face-booking… still the 45 minutes with or without your best friend is the most interesting part…

Enjoy it!!! Cherish it!!!
