    Is it morning already? My eyes can't open properly. The everyday routine is repeated in the hostel I live now. 6 a.m and you got to wake up for prayers COMPULSARILY or else; you are punished.

I turned around and it was him- Raghav. He was a bit fair complexed average heighted boy who was apparently my classmate in grade 10. He was giving me a little smile and I replied back "Hi, come over." And then he began narrating me about whatever had happened in his class today. He was B.com student. Everyday by 10:30 a.m, he leaves for home and I went back to class as my lectures usually ended by 1:30 pm.
