A restroom with mirror


A mirror in a College restroom ( Boys) is a rare thing,and it was even rarer in our college.There was one sole mirror in the ground floor boy's rest room,and trust me,that restroom can write thousand stories.Stories which have all the emotions of a human mind,from love to hate to anxiety.
That restroom was a pilgrimage for every guy in the college,a must visit before the start of the day and after the day ends.Even people from third floor used to come all the way down just for that restroom,or on their way to the canteen.
It has seen people standing there in front of the mirror for hrs. trying to get a perfect look to impress "Her".It has seen people crying and washing there face when their heart got broken or they got a ATKT in exam.It has seen the nostalgia of that last day,when people are queued to get their tie knots right,with a tear in their eye.
"Budding romances",when a guy used to come in front of mirror after every ten minutes just to see if his hair is rightly set,or if his face is not having any mark.
During Exams it used to perfectly capture all the anxiety and during the sports week,it was a place where war strategies were made.
Its walls had numerous things written on it,from love confessions to abuses.Things which the tongue refused to say in front were captured in that "Canvas".

My sincere tribute goes to that historical place,for being such an integral part of every male students life.
