One of the most humongous problems among Night crawlers is food. of course a smoke is sometimes an issue but woh hostel hi kya jahan bhenchod sutta na mila (to borrow from a very lovable song)
for me the hunger limit is reached near around 2:30 am when Russia and Japan have been successfully conquered by Germany (talking about Rise of Nations here) and there are no more cruel demons running riot (read: assignments). Manipal is one of the few places I've been in where cheap, delicious and most importantly Junk food is served at all hours. granted there is only one place here that delivers at say 5 am but given a choice between a disco night out and burgers from this place, on a day that i need cheering up, and i would def opt for the latter.
among other things, there is something wholly reassuring about sitting down in front of ur laptop, put on an episode of ur favourite TV show and enjoy the quiet of night-time from the comfort of ur dorm room chair, while gulping down huge bites of burgers. i was nicknamed burger-dash by my friends in my first year and now i do profess my love for this remarkable creation of man.
before i get too hungry and eat my mouse..
talking about nightcrawlers in general, it is quite interesting to walk down the hostel campus area at such odd hours. there are only so few people there that you can pretty much tell what each one is there for.
theres the guys who've come for the exact same purpose as me, i.e. collecting food. each "collection" is unique in the nature of the transaction. occaisionally, the poor delivery guy, who's been running the route all night, weighed down by 7 other packs of food, will forget a bottle of cola. it irritates the hell out of u believe me. However, my tired out friend, i do have sympathy for ur job. to be delivering all those delicious meals is a job no self-proclaimed saint will ever take up.
You bring happiness to the NightCrawlers.
