The Agonies and Ecstasies of Being a 2k8ian

I clearly remember my first day at college, sitting on a histology lab stool, I found myself scanning the nervous faces of my new classmates, or in the words of my teachers, “newborn babies” of JNMC. Little did I know then that these confused, out of place looking faces were providing a mask for the real, uncontrollably mischievous faces of 2K8ians.
As time progressed, we started to enjoy our never-ending journey through the raging waters of the 2K8 tsunami. Many high & low tides erupted, to leave a long lasting impression on the minds of all those people who have ever been in touch with our batch, whether they were our teachers or seniors.
2K8 is indeed a unique batch (in)completely cut off from other batches which is due to (Thanks Heavens!) a ban on ragging, not to forget the special treatment we got from security guards at the college. But, apart from that, the trademark of 2K8ians is ‘hooting’. Some of you may be aspiring to become heart specialist, some skin specialist but the 2k8ians want 2 be “hooting specialists”. From day 1, each and every 2K8ian started preparing for the ‘hooting’ PG entrance. We have all varieties: the funny ones, the naughty ones, the zappy and hilarious ones and the over the top ones too. Thanks to them, 2k8 batch has found a special place in the discipline diaries of all the departments (I don’t know if there’s one). It’s no surprise that people don’t want to be tagged ‘innocent’ here in 2K8.
As the days are passing by, we’re getting better & better anyways. But, hey, let me remind you, our batch is not as bad as it seems to be. In whatever quizzes or seminars in LT-I we were forcibly made to sit, and listen to something we don’t even understand, we ended up being tagged by the guests as the ‘most enthusiastic audience’. (Poor Chaps, little did they know that the enthusiasm was just because we got a free period, which is a rarity in JNMC). We also ended up as being the highest donors and maximum number of members in the Drug society. Amazing, no?
And one can’t forget to mention the drastic changes in the dressing sense of some, I repeat, some 2k8ian boys. From check shirts and black trousers, they have switched on to pink & yellow floral print shirts and oily gels slopped on their scalp, Heaven knows what’s got into them!
2k8 batch is also famous for the prestige of being the only batch which forced even the most lenient teachers to bring wooden sticks with them to unsuccessfully control the culprits. The strict ones portray themselves as reincarnations of Adolph Hilter.
I forgot to mention the ‘Soch’ tragedy... Oops! Committee. It had to be dissolved as the members had to bear the brunt after a mass bunk before Eid.
Alas, our teachers didn’t notice that it was a ‘MASS’ bunk, So, the Soch Iftar Party became a distant memory to Cherish in the near future.
We rounded off the year 2008, our year, by a trip to Agra, hooting ourselves out. But, the agra fever wearied off with notification of our LIFE’S first terminal exams. The world came to a standstill but the journey goes on….
We, the 2k8ians have lived it all in a very short span of time.
Love us or hate us, 2k8 Rocks!!
