SAGA OF 4 YEARS

U will never know what all emotions lie behind a blank face. When everyone leaves with mushy words and tears, I choose to be honest and so I leave this goodbye phase of college with a straight face.

I am happy to leave since there is so much more out of Laxmangarh-jaipur boundaries that are yet to be explored by me. There is a hope for new possibilities and new adventures to experience. I can again be the one that I was once, with an additional advantage of what I am now.
At the same time I am sad for the time here was very much adrenaline-oriented, and such things are hard to forget. I don’t know how much of it I’ll miss though. Some part of time seems wasted, and some worth all the trouble.

I TASTED FREEDOM BY HAVING TRIPS ALL ON MY OWN, WHICH I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO EARLIER.
The IIT-D techfest and AIIMS trip (2nd year) to be the most memorable one with friends. Taking an auto at 1 AM….roaming around in city with mud all over (courtesy AIIMS). Shopping like a freak and still wanting more. Meeting new people. Making new friends.

Then happened GOA, which was more than awesome. Goa came out to be something out of the usual. It was computer networking pouring down through goa rains amplified by Bits goa’s alert airplanes. But again nothing can beat making some good new friends and sneaking from the course’s classes to enjoy some of Goa’s “FUN”. I know I have to go there again to see the real side of it. But nonetheless I had an experience of my own, which can only be understood by alikes.

The trip to Pune for “a special purpose” was ultimate since I was travelling the city all by myself. With a backpack, few bucks, taking local buses, asking for strangers’ help, you might call me naive but well there is no big fun than exploring the city all by yourself(even if you are a girl). But as usual your friends and loved ones won’t let you do that for long.

Attended events I never thought I would.
From a Ball to “women’s day celebration”, were some special occassions that will always be etched in my memory.

Learnt that Mumbai is big time awesome. And part of your life should be spent there. And hopefully it will.


COMING BACK TO COLLEGE. Sorry but never liked it. Could never understand the system. And after all the years I took to be fully aware of it, still feel it not worth understanding.


4 YEARS IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS - Bunking classes, having attendance issues, doodling on last page of copies, controlling giggles in classes, crawling out of the lecture room while lecture in progress, treating yourself in café, making fun of teachers and some selected kids, hating ( it’s very difficult to like everyone), loving, sleeping, craving for sleep, napping, TO getting brain damaged in exams( at times doing wonders with pen on examination sheets), giving innumerable presentations, wasting money on projects, losing weight while working for college’s or team’s events, clicking uncountable pics, teaching karuna’s kids, sometimes working and still not getting the result, coordinating fashion show just so to get deprived of sleep and food and still managing to create a wonderful show with wonderful people.

LEARNT THAT
# staying positive is much more difficult than being negative. And latter does not help at all.
# People who are not with you were never meant to be at first place.
# Stay in touch with your loved ones.
# Never to be patient with those who are reckless with your heart. Never be reckless with those who are patient with you.
# Don’t push it, just leave it.
# Give ideas get ideas.
# never to lose your passion.
# be happy whenever you can. Enjoy whatever coming your way.
# whatever happens, happens for best. And eventually you’ll know how.
# don’t be stupid. Live your life your own way.

CERTAIN COMMON THINGS IN MITS ..
  1. U’ll always be given a tag. “the girl who bunks”, “the girl with an accent”, “the girl with the fashion”, “the girl who give presentations”…and somehow you’l be known with that tag itself… the real side of u wil b known by just some because that requires time and patience. I guess it’s a common thing.. we have given tags too…nasty ones! :D
  2. The mody fashion statement – umbrella with sneakers, since rains are unpredictable, sun is way too predictable and you have to shuffle through buildings which are at good distance.
  3. At night you’ll find most of them in their respective corners glued to their cellphones…balcony, room, rooftop, washroom..as long as it’s a corner.
  4. Girls memorize like a high speed machine. And you have to cram at the same rate, which might result in a loss of wit and common sense.
  5. Everything is relative and that is where the problem lies.
  6. Calculations are necessary. Subjects, marks, money…very important aspect.
  7. First benchers smile at teachers, middle benchers laugh at teachers, last benchers give a damn.
  8. There will always be a time when you’ll be looked from toe to head and back head to toe, and that time either you run check the mirror or you have recently achieved a gossip or some accomplishment.
  9. There will always be times when they will surprise you with their inherent care and soft heart.
  10. Placement time is the time of "life" and "death".
Now when all is said, I must say I met some really respectable teachers, some really inspiring seniors, some really talented juniors, some really friendly batchmates and some genuine friends for life.

To brag a little, 2 special moments in 4 years would be the biggest birthday surprise (in 3rd year) and when I got a star named after me at New Years Eve.

After a helluva journey, I crave for peace. Feel like taking a good camera, a good playlist, a backpack and head off to a beautiful place.

I might not miss all of this sooner but will do eventually.

PEACE!
