The dusk of our engineering life has finally arrived & at this juncture of saying good-bye, the nostalgic feeling is at its zenith.Being a part of an institution which sometimes made us jittery sometimes confounded, also instilled in us endless love for the friends,teachers and it‘d not be inappropriate to say-instilled love for the PESIT ambience in totality.The feeling of parting is inexplicable.
When we were new to the college,everyone was nervous,startled to see a new environment.The aura was a bit overwhelming but still all were enthused to come out of the cocoon to explore the new world, in which we had stepped.
Days and years passed slowly & we got embedded into the thick of things of our college----slowly yet steadily flowing along with this river.We made friends & more friends, never realising that we would miss them later. We were happy most of the time to such an extent that sadness rarely touched our lives.
How can i forget some of the times which will always remain afresh on the petals of my mind--------
Few teachers were so stringent that they made us to open our eyes forcibly (like the Tom in cartoon who uses stick as a lever to keep his eyes open but here we were not allowed to use a stick...as it was not necessary too..we could do sans-stick too) but the teachers never knew that we were sleeping with our eyes wide open.Yeah, we mastered that skill.
Then, there were teachers who were so boring that it was imminent to get a nap while pretending to be attentive.Obviously, the feeling post that POWER NAP was so..so refreshing. :)
When the teacher pointed to us for talking in the class we managed to put such an innocent face & looked at others, although knowing exactly that he had pointed us.And ultimately, we firmly asked-“Who sir,me..?”.We really mastered these skills beautifully.
Some of the teachers will definitely be missed.They have given us so much inspiration & encouragement that has helped us a lot and we are grateful to them.They treated us like their own children always guiding us,always wishing us good luck and always ready to help us.
Being a boy obviously is more fun.Outing with friends,talking in the class,making strange sounds,aah i will miss them all.Talking about friends’ crush was always a hot topic.And sometimes, we used to take a girl’s name in front of some friend so many times, attaching her name to each of his work that it had the effect of that guy really liking her.This was love-birth(of course was forced).Such has been the domination of friends in our lives.
Celebrating friends’ birthdays at the strike of midnight will be missed badly.They made our birthdays so special by their sheer presence and vim.I used to say –“Bohot ho gaya yaar,ab mat laat maar”(regarding birthday bumps),fearing injuries & happily cursing them.But now the feeling is like---I don’t fear being injured,i want those bumps.I know now that i will badly miss these yellfull b’day celebrations.
Exam-time needs special recognition.This time added more strength to our bond.The late night group study,explanation on cell-phones and to add to this sometimes even asking the portion, the night before the exam will be missed.That feeling after exam—“Saale khud to teacher bana nahi payenge aur hum logon ko de dete hain banane ko”---these memories can never be obliterated. There is no anodyne to eliminate this pain.Friends in our lives are so indispensable.Our lives,our secrets,our thoughts are so inherently tied to them that parting away from them is tearing me.
Never let sadness eat up your life or cut the tree of zeal from your life.Let yourself loose,free yourself from ego,see the world through open eyes,forgive people,help the weak & last but not the least do your bit to make others happy. Friends be like a tree,flexible & moving according to the winds of life but be firmly rooted to the ground with the roots of virtues.Never compromise on your virtues as they shape you and are pillars of your life.For surely then,we can feel the wind of happiness blowing in our life,singing sweet tunes in our ears & filling our lives with passion & enthusiasm.
All the 2007-2011 batch students be it my friends,be it people whom i know well by face but never talked to or people whom i have never seen,i dedicate this part of my life to you all.I have celebrated this phase of my life.Some years after if we face each other, at least say a simple-Hey,which will remind us that we were once a part of the same journey........
Earlier, i wanted the college-periods to end as quickly as possible but now i want this period of my life to extend azzzz muchhhh as it can.I am helpless,can’t dilate the time, else i would have.I wish all my batchmates, specially my class friends & close friends and they know who all they are-----Allll the besttt in life. :) :) :)
Numb,nostalgic,lacerated & heart heavy with pangs, i am still pondering--------
“WHY DOES EVERY GOOD THING COME TO AN END???”
