BHU south campus Barkachha
This was the first time when we had an outing with our juniors. Last year, we went on several small trips with our seniors. But due to our new time table or due to indifference towards it from many of us, we never got an opportunity to have this experience with our juniors before this time.
And this time without any obstacle, except one, we were able to make our plans fulfilled, when we finally decided to visit Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, BHU in Barkachha, Mirzapur. Though first it was planned for Saturday, 13th of Feb, then due to some reasons it was re-scheduled to Sunday, 21st of Feb.
Actually, we were going for a cricket match slated between ours’ and south campus’ teams. Earlier, the match was played in our campus too when Barkachha campus team came to our ground. There are same teams, with different venue this time. Unlike last time, now they were the host and we were the guest but like last timewe won and they lost. Winning or losing didn’t matter much for us as we were in the mood of a kind of picnic, hence less excitement for the match.
BHU south campus tour
In the morning at about 8 AM, we were together at the Viswanath Temple, BHU, opposite our mass communication department. The bus was waiting for us and we were waiting for the fun. As bus started moving towards Barkachha, we started moving towards enjoyment. In the whole journey to Barkachha, we had been singing and shouting. No hunger, no thirst, we forgot every necessity for the fun we were having.
We arrived there and after having some refreshments, were going to enjoy the match. Like me, most of us were spectators, and not players. But we were waiting for the moment when the match ends and we would have lunch. But after the match due to some inevitable reasons, there was some delay in it.
Barkachha, Mirzapur BHU tour
This time we were hungry and thirsty too. Our proposal to go Windom Fall was also rejected again due to some reasons, this time reasons must not be inevitable. At last, we had lunch. Then we had a short walk around the nearby areas. Again we had some tea and pies.
The nice thing of being there was that our counterparts of mass comm dept at BHU south campus gave us a warm welcome and hosted very well. After bidding them good bye, we got into the bus which was on the way of ‘back to pavilion’, i.e. BHU main campus. In between, we stopped hardly for five minutes to see a sight of a lake in the same region.
On our way, we were having a huge round of dance on loud music being played in the bus. Our legs, hands and whole body was moving non-stop with the rhythmic beats. Again, we forgot everything, and made the floor of bus a dance floor, until we entered the confines of BHU.
Back to pavilion…
