“Rector Ma’am – The Human Loudspeaker of Our Hostel!”......

 

They say ghosts don’t exist. But they’ve never lived in a girls hostel…With a loud Rector Ma’am and illegal Maggi under the bed. 😭

No footsteps. No knocking. Just one second you’re chilling,

and next second – πŸ“’ “WHO’S MAKING NOISE?!”

Heart: skipped 3 beats....

Maggi: tossed in cupboard...

You: suddenly studying after 2 years....

This is not just a blog.....It’s a survival story....

 In our hostel, Rector Ma’am wasn’t just a person. She was an emotion.
A loud one. A very, very loud one.....
No heels. No warning.......
Just her flat chappal ki awaaz + thundering voice = hostel ka tsunami. πŸŒͺ

Her Walk = Kettle Panic Attack...

The second we heard her walking on the floor… BP went up......
Girls ran faster than Wi-Fi......πŸ˜‚

“Hide the kettle!”
“Maggi wrapper kidhar gaya?!”
“Light off, book khol, pretend to study!”
Her entry near our room was scarier than internal viva......

7 PM Hostel Jail Time, 8 PM Mess Disaster.....

Every evening by 7 PM – lockdown.
Outsiders? Strictly no.....
Friends from other rooms after 10 PM? Suspicious.....
Maggi after 11 PM? Criminal activity.....

And then came 8 PM mess food.
Dal? Liquid.....
Chapati? uncooked...
Sabzi? Guessing game....
So Maggi = Jaan.... But Maggi = Illegal.......
Which meant secret cooking + Maggi crime scene cover-up......

Late Night = Full Masti + Hide & Seek

Once Rector Ma’am went back to her room…
Hostel came alive......
Whispers. Laughs. Secret dance.....

But sometimes, she’d randomly patrol at 1 AM.....
And boom – corridor mein voice ghoomti:

πŸ“’ “Kon hai ..ye time hai abi ?!”
And we vanish into walls like ninjas..... πŸ₯·

Hostel Meetings = Her Solo Rock Concert

Once a week, all girls sit in a circle.....
Rector Ma’am arrives, volume pe full speed.
Even if the topic was small, the voice was BIG.....

"NO MORE KETTLES!
NO GIGGLING AFTER LIGHTS OFF!
THIS IS NOT A HOME!!"

Meanwhile:
One girl secretly records audio....
Another clicks her pic mid-speech....

Her Background Music?

If her life had a theme song:

🎡 “Main hoon Don…” .... because she ruled the hostel like a mafia boss....
🎡 “Zinda hai yeh hostel, abhi inspection baaki hai…” ...Unexpected rounds. Full suspense.

Even when happy, she shouted...........
"GOOD EVENING, GIRLS!!".........
(Why are you screaming ma’am? We’re 3 feet away…)

The Great Firecracker Revenge (Girls are brave...)

Revenge was necessary.......

Someone planed around 2:10 AM.... Firecrackers outside her room.(Time bomb)

Pop. Pop. Pop....πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
She opened the door like a Bollywood villain.....
Girls vanished like smoke.
someone shooting this scene from hiding behind the pillers....(for meme)

No one was caught.
But the next day her face said everything: “I WILL FIND WHO DID THIS!”
But she never did...... 😎

Her walk = Panic attack....
Her voice = National alert...
Her meetings = Season 6 of ‘Horror movie’....
Her vibe = Half villain, half viral meme....
Our revenge = Firecrackers outside her room at 2 AM. (Still proud.)....


We didn’t have Alexa, we had Rector Ma’am....
Ask one thing, she’ll shout ten....

Now we’ve all grown up.
Kettles are legal, Maggi is unlimited,
and no one yells at us for walking in the corridor…

But sometimes, late at night,
when someone shouts loudly,
we flinch and whisper to ourselves:

“Oh no... Rector Ma’am’s back.”

And honestly?
We kinda miss her.
Because hostel wasn’t hostel without her....
Her voice as morning alarm....
Her surprise raids as thriller episodes...
And her rage as our running motivation...

Strict? Yes.
Loud? Definitely.
Unforgettable? 100%.

Rector Ma’am wasn’t just a part of hostel life...She WAS hostel life.

We feared her…
We joked about her…
But today, when we remember those days,
her loud voice is the clearest memory of all....

πŸ“’ “NO OUTSIDERS!!”
Yes ma’am… only lifelong memories inside.....

That Soft Saawan Feeling… Feels Like Sakshi"( 🌧 Rainy Days, Chai Breaks & Hostel Flashbacks)......

 Wet hair, warm smiles, and the kind of peace that only hostel memories can give.....

> "Rimjhim gire saawan, sulag sulag jaaye mann..."

Some songs don’t just play in the background....they walk into the room and sit with you like an old friend.

That’s exactly what happened today.

The rain had just started. Outside, the sky turned soft grey. Inside, the first few drops tapped gently on the windowpane, and without warning, they pulled me back to a place I hadn't visited in month : my hostel......

It was just another day with my books, notes, and exam prep in full swing. But the moment that familiar monsoon rhythm started, it brought along memories louder than the thunder.

At home, rain feels quiet....organized. You get chai without asking. You have your own clean space. It’s peaceful, no doubt. But sometimes… too peaceful.

Because there’s no knock on the door from a friend saying “chal, maggi banate hain.”......

No yelling from the corridor because someone slipped.

No “arre light chali gayi kya?” while everyone panics over a charging phone.....

In the hostel, rain wasn’t just weather. It was a celebration.

The kettle that barely worked would suddenly become the center of the universe. Maggi became gourmet food. A soggy biscuit shared between five people tasted better than anything store-bought. We'd sit together on one bed, pretending to study, while secretly waiting for someone to cue up a romantic rain playlist....

And even if you didn’t have a crush....like me....you still found reasons to blush when a love song played....

I never had someone to share an umbrella with. But somehow, I remember feeling every filmy vibe when songs like “Zara zara bheegne do na…” started playing from someone's speaker near the balcony.

Funny how music makes even loneliness feel poetic.

Sometimes, someone from hostel still texts, “Baarish ho rahi hai yaha...” and without thinking, I reply “Idhar bhi.” No explanation. Just shared silence and a soft smile on both sides of the screen....

Rain does that. It makes you miss things you didn’t realize you cared so deeply for. Now, I don’t rush through the day. But I don’t pause too long either. I'm still finding balance....between what I miss and what I’m building. Some days are focused, some are foggy. But that’s okay. I’m learning how to carry both......

I’m still finding my rhythm....between the pressure to move forward and the pull of old memories. Some days are heavy, others feel light. But in between, I’m learning how to carry both and maybe that’s enough for now.....
And maybe that’s what growing up is: Missing the rain from the past, while making space for new stories in the next one.
