It was this day four years ago
We, cocoons from various parts
Came flying into a common shelter
Mourning inside in tears
Today,
We moulded into beautiful butterflies
Unable to fly out of the shelter
Bursting into happy tears…..
We can never forget…
The first of our meeting…..
By PSNA Hostel Diaries
The word hostel diaries remind us of the journey of hostel life from the first day when students from different parts congregated at a place for our future. Remember the day you entered the hostel room with your bag packs having your clothes and home made snacks prepared by your mother?
Oh! How nostalgic!
The hostel was not only a place to stay but was a feeling or emotion to rejoice the moments we had spent with our group in the past school/college days.
What Did You Pack For Your Hostel Journey?
Do you remember what your bag packs had when you moved into the hostel? The obvious answer would be yes! Who can forget those days of cooking noodles in a kettle and those midnight gossips? What makes this life special is the correct packing you do before entering into the new phase of your life. If you try to list down your articles, it would be:
- Casual/Formal Dresses
- Books, and Stationaries
- Snacks, and
- Basic toiletries
- Gadgets, If any
Isn’t the list seems incomplete for 2021? The traditional hostel packing included the above-mentioned items but 2021 has few more articles to be included in the list. Hostel life is great for so many reasons and one of them being your necessities makes it even greater. So, if it’s you who is shifting in the hostel next, make sure to have these articles packed in your bag for a better stay and hostel life.
