Life as a Ravian

Life as a Ravian
The title Ravian is given to those diligent, assiduous and Sedulous Students, Who are supposed to be the High Achievers in country. Most of our Civil Servants are Old Ravians. Your Army Chief, Prime Minister and most of senior analysts are Old Ravians. The word Ravian is actually assigned to those diligent students who are high achievers in Matriculation examination and are supposed to be admitted in Government College University Lahore as an Intermediate Student.
Ex-chairman KRL( DR.AQ Khan Research Lab) Dr.Arshad Javaid Mirza was also an old ravian. Dr.Sumar Mubarik Mund , nuclear physicist was also a star of Government College University. Above all Allama Iqbal remained as a student and Teacher in Government College University.
These were just few names, you are familiar with. All Civil Servants who were Old Ravians have a famous "Old ravian union" . No advertisements, no praises needed for Government College University, The name itself identifies the Honour of College.
Life is as Ravian is the most admiring and superb. Days! when students get high scores in matriculation and are supposed to submit their result cards. After that , a merit list is displayed that clearies the hugeness of College and status of Ravian. Yes! I was one of those Students, who were admitted to Government College University Lahore and were named as Ravians. Red Coates , maroon tie and slight yellowish pent identifies a Ravian. Two Hostels :- Quaid e Azam Hostel and Allama iqbal Hostel Are alloted to those students whose marks exceeds the merit list of GCU.
Yes! Again , I was among those high achievers who were alloted hostels. The first day in hostel, away from homes terriying seniors, that mess of hostel and and respected Suprintendent Sir.Abdul Waheed (Chief librarian GCU, Member of World digital Library USA).
First day, 6.30am at mess knots at our necks. Seniors stalking us in mess from front tables. As they were planning to target us outside hostel, near Inter cafeteria. Yes! Finally , we came out of hostels and were ready to attend our first class . But who knew, Seniors were our predators. I was really frightened from all such signs that were haunting me. Classes ended, a break came, Along with my friends i went to inter cafeteria. A group of barbarians (seniors) came to me and said :" Party banti hai, marks la kar aye hu, chalo sab ko bottle pilao." Believe me , they were 11 in number. i got confused and said " Bhai mera maheena ka kharcha khatm hojana apko pilata" Who knew seniority in GC was at peak. They got angry , but luckily i got away. Days went with terror.
After some time, Attending classes were not a part of ravians . We realized. Dont be Surprised its true. Finally an awaiting even came, The Welcome Party: The night with no rules, With fear i didnt came downstairs . A senior came and holded me took me down. Believe me that was the most enjoyable day of life. They were the best seniors, i realized that. I realized the worth of being a Ravian. They started having interaction with us. A day came, Farewell ! Believe me that day we were seniors and they were juniors , we had such an interaction with them now. Those dorms with Four Friends , nights of studies and pleasure with them.
Common Room: Literally i didnt know how to play table tennis, I had seen that. But never knew before how to play. With time, We ruled the table and common room as well. Inter hostel Sports: Yes! I was whom who didnt know how to play table tennis, but Practise and that common room trained me that i won Inter hostel sports in table tennis. Those days with seniors are still being missed.
Now we were seniors, Awaiting for first day outside hostel for our prey. That were supposed to be our Juniors. Yes! We didnt leave them, if we had left them we supposed to diminish that tradition of ravians. Terror on their face reminded us our first day at GCU. Those Cubicles , But stay in a single room of many friends. Nights in a single room with many friends.
Company of fellows in GCu, is more like a room of intellactual people who are contributors of society and nation. Teachers who were highly qualified having Doctorate level degrees taught us. This institute filters the students and they are successful at every stage of life.
Oval Ground, Auditorium (Bukhari) Inter cafeteria , amphitheatre and PG block are best views of GCU. I can't just explain the accountibility of this college and worth . You would never get down , if you are a Ravian! Because its symbol is COURAGE TO KNOW. And dont let your hopes be down.
I havent described most part of life as a ravian. Because i really cant, no one can describe that life. Because it is unable to describe.
