         Reema reminisces her sweet memories and delights in the college and the hostel:                               Xavier Chimes
         Living in the hostel was a new experience for many of us. As I was a pampered child, I didn't do many
         household work at home, but the hostel life taught me many things i.e., washing clothes, cleaning
         room, to live a disciplined life; living in the hostel taught us to eat whatever we got.
         Hostel life taught me the big lesson of life that is not to judge anybody easily. It was dicult to adjust,
         sometimes, we felt like that we were living in ‘Big Boss’ house where nobody knew each other but
         tried to adjust. I gave time to myself, slowly tried to understand people around me, gave them time
         too. Gradually, living in the hostel became easier for me. I made many friends not only in my hostel
         but also in the boys hostel. Life was so easy, I had a strong feeling that I began to like XITE as my
         ‘Second Home’. Sister Aruna was our first Warden, when I joined and she was the best.
          Hostel life was very dierent for those who came from home. We used to live with our seniors, in the
         beginning, they were very strict as they pretended, but they were not. They were very helpful and
         shared their notes with us. We used to play volleyball, basketball and many games together. We
         gave them their farewell, which we tried to make very memorable for them. They were the best
         seniors I have ever met.

         With lots of learning and experience, Father Lobo, Superintendent Boys' Hostel, was always there
         for me, with his energy and experience; he was always there to guided me. When I saw Father's
         dedication towards basketball it was an inspiration for me.
         Lastly, I would like to say, XITE taught me to live an independent, courageous and confident life.
         Living in the  hostel gave me 3 years of wonderful experience and friends for life.




                  Memories That Found                                               Ritika Mahato

                                                                                    BBA Batch: 2014-17
                              Their Way

         Walking on a way I realized,                       Projects reviews to campus interviews,
         Gone are the days ,I used to survive.              Nicknames to last bench games,
         Though time and tide have taken me far and  Who will take all my blames?
         wide,                                              Found helpful teachers on my way,
         I still can feel deep down inside.                 Friends were there to support my day.
         A lot of things are left unsaid and unheard,       I miss those callings from the back seat and ask me
         A lot of memories still unstirred.                 to look in front
         Those memories bound me,                           Then laugh when I take the teacher's brunt.
         Will never be null and void,                       Everything is still fresh in my mind,
         I count those days, and memories I find,            Wish life could just rewind.
         That defines my XITE College days.                  Chatting and laughing we all were in elation
         For whatever I may have achieved today,            Till the painful moments of separation
         Back then I was weeping and praying.               When it was time to part,
         When I decided to study the entire night,          I was reduced with a heavy heart.
         But ended up gossiping till it was bright.         Though I have a lot to say,I will leave it for another day.
