MY ROOM MATE AND ME

    Now holidays are about to over and I will be back to my hostel.I have a really cool room mate and we have become good chums so there's no problems between us.She was in the hostel since her grad days,and being a novice (in the hostel) she is always there to comfort me when I miss home or mom! I learned some Malayalam words from her and the cosmopolitan Keralite culture (there is no caste feelings there even in villages,amazing!).Like every girl of our age she is interested in all these talk about sex and love but like me she is single and virgin!She often tell me the kind of guys she likes but no one is really interested and the ones interested are not of her type!GOSH.Too complicated.A couple of guys have flirted with me too but none has been interesting yet.Dating is a self imposed taboo for me.WHY?cuz I do not trust guys.We study in silence but we get crazy while cracking jokes.We talk about mad philosophers and there madness(Altuzer and Marx dominate!).She feels I am a bit of philosophical sometimes and eccentric.Many times while going outside I have forgotten that she is in the room and had locked her off then she has shouted from behind,calling me.I unlock and apologise.Once I locked her up while going to take bath and when I shouted her to give me the shampoo she calmly said 'hey!u hav locked me!!We talk about movies,books,being feminist,boys,love,et all.Lately I have been urging her to read newspapers (she procrastinates!) and wash her clothes regularly,since she washes a huge bundle at a time making herself so exhausted and wearied.Whereas she has been urging me to stop walking so fast (which makes me quite breathless at times) and not to have infatuations towards older people which I often do!But here we both have been very adamant.I never had to adjust to anything(other than the small room) as she can sleep with both lights switched off and on.Ingenuity is a trait that both of us make an effort to have.We love to go to the nearby market and munch on anything we please since both of us are hard core foodies.
    And yes we love to make fun of our profs. and talk a lot about these guys.....who are both brilliant and amazing,dynamic....yet very funny as individuals and boring (some of them) as teachers! She speaks about the young teachers (who are handsome and cool) in her dept. and I talk about how our Sociology profs. make life really hard but give grades like 'misers'.Tough guys to impress.
   Now to describe her.....she like me is a bit of messy! she is open,funny,cheerful,frank but she cannot make friendships outside her circle of friends(now am officially in her circle) but I have no circle and I can chit chat with et al,everyone.I do not think physical description is necessary here since its character that matters.But let me tell you she is cute and good looking.
   To be frank I had these nightmares about horrible room mates in hostels I have heard about room mates who always create problems intentionally,steal,make filth,disturb you when you are working and made fun of you and bitch about you.I was so damn worried about handling all that alone.But this room mate of mine....thanks to god is quite opposite of the stereotyped I had created in my stupid mind.
