Fun, academics and the education city

A little more than two years back after the much awaited class ten board exams i was told once more, "Just a few days more of studying for entrance exams of Bansal Classes, Kota and VMC, Delhi and then you can relax."
After getting admission in VMC's extended classroom course and Bansal Classes i decided in favour of Kota.
The second day in kota and during the orientation Bansal sir told us to start seriously studying now but i was in no mood of  it.
The first few days included  exploration of the non academic and interesting places of the education city. Initially classes were held in afternoon or evening. So there were many lazy mornings and we usually went out after classes, mostly to talwaldi circle. After dinner we went to millennium tower for a cold coffee or mango shake. Nights at our PG in the initial days was a lot of fun. At midnight we thought that its time now to do the home work for the next day which i would never complete. We usually ordered food from outside (hoping that we would study after eating). The food used to arrive after one or two hours after which we slept.
Initially i liked the maths classes but hated physics classes and chem was gud for the first few minutes.The maths teacher (ANA sir) was very good.
A confidence boosting moment came in the initial batch P6 after about 20 days when i was the only one to give the correct answer to the homework physics problem and my method was just one third of sir's. After that my interest in physics kept on rising till it became my favourite subject. The physics teacher's at bansal's were very gud. My favourites included AG sir, MKS sir and Anurag Mishra sir.
My first movie in kota was 99 at INOX. After our review tests on Sundays once in five weeks we usually went out for a movie. New York is my most memorable movie . We had gone to adlabs about 12 kms away from indra vihar to watch it as tickets in inox was not available.
My ranks kept on improving throughout class XI although i increased my studying hours considerable only in the last 2-3 months.
The diwali vacations were a time to go home after 7 months of  fun, studies and some moments of boredom at kota. During the week before going home i could think about nothing but home. The home trip was awesome.
Just before new year we (me and tanmoy) changed our PG from B-453 to C-35 and shifted to single rooms.
It took some time to get going with guys of my new PG but then we became great friends.
After XI we got a one month break. Even during it we were give lots of homework but i did none.
I tried to study a lot in the initial days of class XII but it lasted for about 4 months only.
After that my studying hours decreased. During the last one month i thought that now i cant study more and felt like going home as fast as possible
Back at home i realised that whatever i am today its because of the 2 years spent at kota. They were some of the most memorable days of my life. I learnt a lot about life there.
Thanks to all my friends and teachers at kota who made the glorious days possible.
