Here are some memories of a wonder full night that happened with me quite some time back during my graduation days at NIT Agartala

One night my Naga seniors made a plan to sneak out of the Hostel and go to the academic block of the college where a huge bee hive was hanging from the 2^nd floor. So here went a group of 20 students in a winter night to the college. That was my first outing to the college at night and the silent buildings with the moon shining down on it looked quite quixotic. The bravest among the group climbed to the 2^nd floor of the college with the help of a rope and extracted the hive after burning it down with a torch and brought down the hive. That was the first time I saw honey being extracted from a white like material. Also that was the first time I tasted raw honey. We went back to our hostels with the cache but not before giving a portion of our bounty to the guards stationed in the college so that the college administration does not make a hullabaloo when they come to know of it.

That’s a night which I won’t forget for a long time to come. I can still remember a group of 20 boys standing in the ground and shouting orders to a annoyed person suspended on a rope whose body and head was covered with bed sheets.  He looked more like a Egyptian mummy suspended in the air trying to torch the hive. Added to it was the pure romantic nature of the night.
