PC Thomas at Thrissur: An Experience of A Lifetime!

April 1 to May 7 2010

          Well, to say  this is my story will be totally untrue. It was my dream to get into a prestigious institution like PC-Thomas' Entrance Coaching Centre. Well, I didn't go alone.  I had my 6 friends with me.

          Before actually starting this story let me tell you what this story is not about. It's not a guide which will help you get through an insti. On the contrary, it's a story which will tell you how screwed up your vacation could get if you don't think straight. I expect Vishnu, Gokul, Maamu, Kv, Aditya and Sibin, -- all  psychos -- to kill me after they get to know this, but this is my version of the story and all of them cannot write for nuts. So, this is my shot....

          After our English board exam, we came to know that we were selected for the one month bridge course along with 600 students from all parts of India and Dubai in PC-Thomas Institute at Trissur. You could tell that we were excited....  Imagine 45 days of pure fun, pure enjoyment, being out of control and beyond all use... that was our dream.

          We had seven days after our board exams before we went to PC's. Well to say, we had lots of shopping to do. Seven days went like....boom! It was the first time for me to travel in a train with that psycho friend of mine, Gokul. He is just sweet and you just have to like him -- non-muscular body, stunning specs, pimple-prone face and a cute smile. That was him. Taller than me and fat too. We, along with our family, had set out for the three hours trip to Thrissur . Yeah, the travel went well. We reached the Thrissur railway station 2 km away from the jail (PC's). I had trouble at the railway station because my father was busy calling an auto. So I wondered whether it looked awkward, with Goku's family being silent. Anyway we got an auto and reached a sub centre where we needed to register our names. Aditya (Pallan) was there with his mom and we were later joined by Maamu (Nihal ma), Sibin, Kv, and Vishnu. It was nice to see our parents together. 

          We were taken to the real jail, Elamturuthi Centre.  Dude! You should have been there. We had a test next morning and the nerds there had already started studying. 'C'mon,' I said. Goku was really angry at those nerds. We got our beds together in the dorm. Vishnu and I were separated by a Thrissur-Praveen. Goku, Sibin and Kv got parallel beds, while Maamu and Aditya got theirs together. 

           Our parents then left. We were alone for ourselves now. "I thought we could go out!" shouted one of the boys from the non-nerd department. *slap* Augh! The warden had a tough hand! He went weeping. Now I was terrified, Vishnu almost cried while macho-Kv got angry, but could do nothing,  And the food... My god! They gave no value to taste buds.
     Then we had to sleep and horror waited for us the next day. . . .
