It's a common abbreviation we are used to listen since our childhood that there is a difference between Hotel and Hostel. The difference of 's'. And for sure, 's' stands for students. People say hostel is a place where you won't find any glimpse of life, you won't find good accommodations, you won't find good food. But this definition, rather a common misconception seems to be modified. For me, handling a situation is a different introspection. 'Seeing' a situation and 'Looking At' a situation are two different aspects. Anyone can see a situation but 'looking at' a situation is completely different and that requires knowledge. I too look at this particular situation differently (pardon if I am being a bit extraordinary, for sure I am not that good).
For Me, Hostel is a brilliant assembly of good friends. Actually, friends are the integral part of one's life. And good friends are always special. Here at hostel, one can have plenty of friends. But good friends are limited. And trust me, they would make you watch the beauty of life.
For Me, Hostel is the Melting Point of every Rich and Poor. People say, all are equal before law. The same thing happens here. Being a commoner is a legacy here. A rich may share the room with a poor with an extreme bond of coordination. And trust me, this bond never sees the status rather it neglects all the qualities and disqualities of one another.
For Me, Hostel is the Locus of foods from different parts of the Country. For food is the essential organ of the human life organism, we here at hostel, experience the variance of taste from different regions of the country. One can definitely justify why India is considered to be the country of exceptions. But again trust me, eating together with a huge crowd of friends is itself a different experience.
For Me, Hostel is a Home for some Brilliant Minds of the Country (yes, I am not among them. But obviously I am trying to be one). It's a common legacy that someone among us would get the highest package or would be renowned for his research work. But the fact is that the same would be from us and infact the brilliant among all of us. And this is the point where people are differentiated among themselves.
For Me, Hostel is like a Guardian which Provides Shelter to Live. Infact, it is the sole body in which we have to stay and share our sorrows as well as happiness. Yes, indeed one will have to do that. But trust me, hostel seems to be a good guardian.
One can definately find all the above things at his home. And therefore, I must say- For Me, Hostel is a Home Away From Home. It indeed depends on how you see things. Things are ofcourse good for positive and undoubtedly bad for negative.
At last, as an Engineer, being a bit scientific,
For Me, Hostel Is The Interference Of Wavefronts Coming From Different Parts Of Country. It's Upto You What You Choose Between The Corresponding Dark And Bright Fringes....
