My First Date with Modinagar
Posted by Unknown | Posted in Personal | Posted on 11:15 AM
It was Teacher’s Day,5th September,2000,when I first landed at Modinagar Railway Station. Modinagar is a small but industrially rich city in Ghaziabad District of Uttar Pradesh, approximately 45Kms from ISBT (Inter-State Bus Terminus), Delhi. I have secured some rank in UPSEAT (Uttar Pradesh State Engineering Admission Test). It was more than enough to get a free seat in Electronics & Communication Engineering at Dr. Kedar Nath Modi Institute of Engineering and Technology, in short KNMIET. Thank God, I could not qualify JEE exams and thanks to my father who didn’t allow me to waste another year. I believe he knew my potential as a student.
So, we were at the Modinagar Railway station. I was happy as well as exited to see those Welcome posters pasted randomly on the walls around. Suddenly my father saw them and said:d
Father: Dekho tumhare college waale kitane acche hai
Me: haan, dekhiye poster lagwaaya hai
Father: chalo accha hai, yahaan pe sab log KNMIET ke bare me zaante honge
Me: haan sahi kahaa aapne
After walking some 100 meters, we could see some autos standing. I went to one of them and asked “Bhaiya, K N Modi Engineering College chaloge kaya”.
“Engineering college kidhar hai yo, degree college zaande huu mai”, he replied.
His tone was pretty harsh and rough. I felt as if he was shouting on me. I went to a different auto and asked the same question politely, “Bhaiyaa ji, K N Modi Engineering College aap challenge kaya”. His voice was equally irritating and his reply even more vague.
“Kapda Mill zayega yo….. kapda mill”
In no time, I replied back “nahi nahi Kapda mill nahi Engineering college ….. K N Modi Engineering College”
Meanwhile, the whole thought of “………..yahaan pe sab log KNMIET ke bare me zaante honge….” was slowly evaporating out of my mind.
Later on, we came to know that Engineering College is well inside the Modi Cotton Mill.
Any how, we reached the college gate ………… no no no it was Modi Cotton Mill Gate. “Seth Rai Bahadur Multanimal Modi” was engraved ,in bold, on its wall. I remember one of my friend reading it as “Seth Rai Bahadur Multi-Animal Modi ”.
