I was in the hostel back then. Was studying at DCSMAT (DC School Of Management & Technology). This was my first stint in hostel. I've never had a hostel life, although living away from home wasn't something new. DC is located atop a hill, in the midst of a forest (more or less a forest) at a location that anyone would die for, which is Vagamon, a small hill station in Idukki district. DC was amazing, I mean, for us DC meant - college, hostel life, friends, friendship, love affairs, heart breaks, chicken biriyani, pudding, clubs, assignments, moodle and most importantly CLIMATE !! People would die to come there, the fog and the heavy rains would keep us engaged (romantically or otherwise) all the time! Our guest lecturers or placement trainers would comment - "This is such a beautiful place, how do you guys even study ?!! " WHO DOES??? We were Alices and Alicans(male version of Alice) in wonderland at DC! :) Anyways, having said that It's at DC that I saw many beautiful movies. After a long day, most of us would curl into our warm blankets and watch movies. Since the bed was small I would get uncomfortable lying in the same position for long periods of time watching movies, my spine would get bored of twisting and turning and I'd try a lot of postures until I get to watch the movie comfortably. I had the 1 TB (1 Terabyte hard drive) of Sanjay with me and I felt like a 'Queen who owned a Theatre'. There were so many movies.. so many of them and I felt helpless and confused. Which ones to watch first !! The TB was to remain with me for some days. One day a friend of mine and I were discussing about movies and he suggested 'Before Sunrise' and 'Before Sunset'. He told me those were excellent movies. And suddenly I remembered.. man.. I think I saw the two movies in the hard disk, I kind of remembered the names. I thought of watching them. It was already 1 am, and I found the movies in Sanjay's 1 TB. I started watching 'Before Sunset' first. I didn't know it was the sequel. But I loved it from the very beginning. That's the day when I fell in love with 'PARIS'. I didn't have any particular affinity towards this place. But after this movie. Things changed.I changed. LOL. I had never watched a movie with such an excellent script. The movie is quite simple but so very meaningful. I could relate to Jesse and Celine pretty well! I loved them :) and I totally loved the movie. It remains one of my favorites until this very day. After watching the sequel, at around 2.30 or so I started watching the prequel 'Before Sunsrise'. It was nice, romantic and surreal. But I loved 'Before Sunset' more. It seemed real and perhaps more easy to relate.
The next day onwards I was in love with French language and Paris! Qui Qui !!!! :) Chindu would kill me!
