Raghava enters the campus
Raghava steps into Tambi Dorai University for the first time
The things were set like the way in the past 3 episodes. Rupa was happy that she got the company of a woman of strength where she can be secure, Rakesh Varma is set out on the plans of befriending one of Rushika’s friends, and Raghava’s mother is slightly apprehended of her son’s entry into a little dynamic world compared to school and 12th standard.
Poojitha is on a mission to set fire by swallowing all that CSE has to offer and build money, fame, and technology attributed confidence. Aravind Reddy is uber cool and excited at the same time for getting to enter a big world to apply his intelligence and squeeze the elation it can offer. The one big difference between Poojitha, Aravind Reddy, and Raghava is only one. The former two are so confident of their intelligence and believe their strength comes from there. The latter has so many doubts and doesn’t know consciously that it’s his strength.
Raghava stepped into the campus to have a look of it before joining as he has to spend the next 4 years in it. His long-time acquaintance Ravichand Nayakar accompanied him as he is joining the same class as his friend. They looked up at the Arch as they were entering which read ‘Tambi Dorai University’ in the capital and bold letters. They both walked all the blocks on foot and gathered the first-hand idea about departments, classrooms, staff, management rules, and other typical details. It was a place enough for 3 such radicals to fight supported by their friends and supporters.
In his mind, Raghava was only thinking about one thing. Will the university show him new things in life or fearfully makes it narrow making him a boring adult. He got this confusion after observing one thing keenly. First and second years are jubilant, actively roaming here and there, shouting, laughing, running and making teenage cinematic stunts. Third and fourth-year students had increased levels of seriousness respectively showing up the burdens of project works, backlogs, campus interviews, job apprehensions, and lecturer harassment on their faces. His doubt doubled after seeing the staff room where he saw professors, lecturers, lab assistants; some in grave expression and others happy for strange reasons.
After a while, he turned to Nayakar and said ‘Will life become more beautiful here or will it teach us what beauty is not?’
Nayakar was tying his shoelaces, he lifted his head after knotting and said laughing gently.
‘Those are bigger things which scholars like you should find answers to. My only thing’s here there will be more gang wars to join and bigger brawls to enjoy! There will be more beautiful women whom we can see without worrying that they will call us ‘Brother’.
Raghava laughed and said ‘Both options are fine but make sure you don’t confusingly mix them both and arrive at the most unwanted ending’
‘Means?’
‘In both violence and romance, you can easily enter but hardly come back. Because in the first one they will burn the bridge, in the second one you will burn it.’
Raghava saw Nayakar was getting disengaged as he can’t take philosophy when it gets little deeper. To lighten him up Raghava said
‘It also means when you make a brawl for a girl, make sure she likes you first. Without confirming that if you get into it, the next help she asks is to save his boyfriend along with saving her’.
The stage is set for the big show that’s going to happen and all the young and dynamic blood is going to enter that atmosphere within 3 days. Tambi Dorai University accommodates one more batch that remains in its history.
