They say the next world war will be fought over water. well, I have news for you. The next world war has already started right here in Godavari Hostel, JNU!Delhi is facing a water shortage and in all my years in JNU, I think this is the worst water crisis we have ever had. Since I live on the second floor, apparently due to less pressure, water does not reach our floor. Complaints to various university authorities led to the usual stony faced response of there being not enough funds to buy a new pump. So, we had no option but to reconcile ourselves to the fact that we were going to have to store water. So, every one on the floor bought 3-4 buckets. As it is, even when we had regular supply of water, we only used to get water twice a day for one and a half hours each. The boys' hostels of course have water supply 24 hours a day because, yes, you guessed right, boys stand united for common needs and will create a ruckus if their demands are not met. You cannot expect the same of girls. they'd be too busy pulling each other down even when it comes to genuine, common issues!
Well, anyways, there's this girl on my floor who is obsessed with water. She bought a bucket as large as the waste baskets we seen on the roads and has kept it permanently filled in the bathroom. She takes about an hour and more to take a bath. Which means the rest of us wait for madam to come out so we can also fill our buckets. Of course, by the time madam comes out of the bathroom, the water supply is over.
So we are going all out for revenge. We are going to teach her a lesson in human behaviour and some manners. The rest of us are going to use 'her' bathroom one after the other so that she will not be able to use the bathroom when there is water. We will do this for a coupla days so that she realizes what the rest of us are going through.
The water war begins today.
