Then (i.e. when I was in high school, before starting undergrad):
I wouldn't enter a room if it had a cockroach inside
Now:
Cockroaches freely ran past me - they don't bother me, I don't bother them.
Then:
I'd run to the nearest chair or table to climb on it for safety if I saw a lizard.
Now:
I calmly watch it run away as I stomp my foot to 'frighten' it.
Then:
I'd call my grandmother to chase out the bug in the room.
Now:
I'm an expert in chasing bugs and moths out of my hostel room.
Talk about the things you learn living in a hostel!
P.S: Idhaiye saaka vecchu evalo peru treat kepeenga-nu enakku theriyum - idellam over ba!

A friend of mine studied in a hostel where the 6 feet long sink (before which he brushed his teeth daily) was covered with a thick 2 cm layer of algae.
After 4 years, nothing in the world could get him to puke!
Muh comment has disappeard :((
Lol. After becoming a mother I've learnt how to protect my children from those creepy crawlies.. but way before that, I'd hide in my room till that "thing" flies/runs away.
I'd tolerate any kind.. but not the COCKROACH! They are fast moving and they can FLY! Ugh, I'm feeling wriggly all over my body already.

tat was a gud post.... jus not restrictin to hostels, in my case, 4 yrs of hosel in UG in India n 3 yrs now at 'home away frm home' in US, this kinda teaches u the nuances of independant life n also moulds ur character...
hmm.. for me then and now was more or less same.. I was always brave :p . .even in spore u have these pests running arnd? or u meant when u were in indian hostel
Still haven't learnt these things, i still will run to the nearest exit if i happen to see a lizard. I hate them... this in spite of living in a hostel for TWO years... hmmm...
You ought to graduate to the next level. Grab it in your hand and throw the cockroach off....!!! :)
kuttichuvaru,

vivhyd,
yeah, you do have these creepy crawlies in singapore too! I have never stayed in a hostel in India...

Yup, another year, and maybe I'll do it....
