Yaad Hain Wo Din... Kuch Bhi Nahi Badla

It was entrance examination time and lot of prospective students were coming to AMU with their parents from all over the country. As we know most of these applicants and their parents stay in hostels. One Alig, Mr. Parvez came for his son's 10+2 entrance examination and stayed in my room.

Me and my friends tried to give him a good company and take care of him as much as possible. Mr. Parvez was very happy with our hospitality but for some reason he used to repeat "AMU ke students mein ab woh baat nahi rahi, ab woh activities nahi rahi jo mere zamane mein hoti thi, ab AMU change ho gaya hai". It was very annoying and hurting for all of us.


Days passed and his son's entrance examination got over and he was ready to leave for his home town Lucknow. They were going to Lucknow by Gomti Express and as per tradition, we went to railway station to see off him. One of my friend got the tickets for them and then we searched for TC and told him about Mr. Parvez(sorry) ' This person is not mentally fit and for some reason he wants to go to Lucknow but his home is in Kanpur so by any means please make sure that he leaves the train at Kanpur. Though he has already bought the ticket for Lucknow but don’t worry about that'. We also took his son in confidence and train left the station at given time.

After two days we got a call from Mr. Parvez and he was saying "Aaj Bhi AMU ke students ki activities waisi hi hai jaise mere zamane mein thi"
