What's about being in a deprived group of people? The deprivation brings you closer together I suppose. That was my experience from my 2 years at St. Mary's Poojapura. It was to prove right again.
There were people I didn't like. People I couldn't see eye to eye with (both literally and figuratively) But all that pales in comparison when you remember the nights of fun and alcohol on the terrace.
My roomies, at first, did not seem like very cool people. One looked like a terrorist on the loose, and another looked like he had an obsession with carrying suitcases.
We were the first one to arrive at the Villa. We kept thinking to ourselves that we'd suffer a lot here.
Time was to prove us right. Illness, Hunger, Rain, Wading through muck among other things. It seemed at one point that the folks at the hostel would do their course requirement Covering Deprivation trip by visiting the Villa. But we managed to pull through.
There are heroes of the Villa that I need to talk about. That'll come later.
For now, it's suffice to say that, in life, there are people around, who'll help you pull through every passing day, no matter how hard it gets.
This post is dedicated to the Vociferous Villans. Cheers guys :D
