Hostel California ... the rebuttal

Its amazing how you are put with some 35 guys pulled out of all different corners of the country, are asked to live together and before you know it you start living like family. You are into each others rooms, spaces and bathrooms (as yucky as that sounds).

People become your friends, your fellow philosophers and your guides. You eat together, drink together (and you do a lot of that) and try hard not to sleep together. You make fun of each others quirks and adjust with each others idiosyncrasies. You party, laugh, smile, cry, crib, fight with those guys and at the end of the day you know that in a new place they are all you have.

During the birthdays it is my self assigned responsibility to pour water on the sad soul who was born on that day and when I look down amidst all that chaos, screaming, running for your life, violence I smile and think to myself for the next one year they are family!

Hostel Theory 1
At any given point, there is atleast one guy who is sleeping in the hostel.

Hostel Theory 2
At any given point, atleast one guy is singing in the hostel.
Corollary
At any given point, you want to punch atleast one guy in the hostel. ;).
