My first disappointment with RVCE

I remember the first day, after my counselling, I went to our college for the first time with my parents. I was all starry eyed and had already started day dreaming about the college. In my head, RV was a magical place where all our wishes came true.. So naturally, it had to be breath-taking in view.. Anyway, all we knew was that RV was on Mysore Road.. We hired an auto and started off our journey to my "dreamland".. I expected a huge archway welcoming me to RVCE... When we came near RR gate, i thought I had reached my destination.. But alas! It had to be some signboard for a temple which was atleast a couple of miles further away.. My hopes of finding the "exotic archway" started diminishing as fast as the metre in the auto. Finally we came across a bus stop called Kengeri.. I remembered a senior telling me that RV was a mile before the stop.. I got down and asked a guy in a medical shop regarding the location of RV.

I expected him to be awestruck.. But to my disappointment, he wasn't.. Anyway, he told me, "Illinda U turn tagoli. Strait hogi.. 2 km hodmele DreamLand anta ondu hotel kaansatte. Adara opposite nimma RV college..." Now it was like I had hit rock bottom.. I got into the auto once again.. And reached Hotel DreamLand.. And lo behold! There it was.. A ramshackle looking place with a rusty board swaying madly in the wind to greet us.. It was as though someone had reached down my intestine and started tugging at while kicking me in the crotch.. The security guard then opened the already canted gate. It creaked open as though warning me to return from there itself.. I dared to go in.. On reaching the CS Dept, my mom said," So this is the college u were talking about eh... Care to do a rethink???"
