DOWN THE MEMORY LANE-VIDS view
In this world of unpleasant, unfair things that plague our existence , there is an added burden of having to spend some sleepeless nights to prepare oneselves fr the university exams jus to get two letters ('B' n 'E') added after ur name..Bt i guess am least bothered about tat..So thought i could waste the one thing which i seem to have in plenty "TIME" and I think that u have it in plenty too!!!!
Now that I've overcome the starting problem let me get down to the matter at hand... Well I still cant fathom as to y i kept procrastinating ths post fr a lon time coz ths subject has been close to my heart and something tat i always wanted to pen down.. Ever since i decided to chronicle my voyage from NAGPUR to CHENNAI on this blog i thought i wud wait fr a day more as it cud make a better post.. My life in CSE B wud soon come to an end..In another six months i ll be off to NAGPUR - something which i always wanted to do n kept tellin people..Bt its is gettin tougher to accept it wen i am nearin the reality.. i know tat this has been long time coming n has to come one day.. Chennai a place whr i never wanted to spend more than 15days of at a stretch has given me some of those memorable experiences for 4 long years which i wud cherish fr my whole life..College was my best teacher all the way through the journey..14 years of my schooling was spent seeing those same 140 odd faces..bt college showed a new face(a new "sight" as we call it here) every day.. 4 years have just whizzed by ...I can still remember the 1st day in college..I was a small-town gal who felt so small amidst this chennai crowd..seems like yesterday!!..
First year saw me drowning in books...
Places i liked were Library nooks..
well i know my knowledge about poetry is as vast as that of Dravid about kabaddi.ppl pls bear up!
Came leisure wt the second year
Records n submissions was the only fear
Third year went on wit industrial visits
And those tempting movies which wr hard to resist
Then came fun with the final year
With loads of memories to hold dear.
My new life has so few threads that bind me to the old one that I ve strtd questioning my desires... Everything is anew! I don wanna leave this place ,this college,my frens..Strange,isn't it? but wen i look back at the time i spent here i realise tht the same old chennai has
given me so many wonderful memories..It gave those amazin frens which i ve been deprived of had i stayed back at my place..Those fun-filled first year hostel life..getting ragged everyday by evry othr senior..late night birthday parties..scoldings from the warden..amusing SWAGAT
Ramp...traumatic first sem results..gettin strtd as a senior wt the entry of juniors...a sense of joy to see ur piece code givin an output in the comp sci labs..those small affairs wt some disastrous ending..benches turning out to be the saviour during the exams..late night phone calls..the most awaited tour..rain filled exam days..combined studies..sleepless nights..gettin a promotion as super seniors..OD s for doing nothing..empty classes wt hardly any professor..those "bits" turnin out to be the extra sheets..gettin caught while copyin..those small fights..gettin teased..mass bunks..mass visits to satyam..n a lot more!!but its odd when you look back you only remember the “good” or the “fun” stuff that happened.. And now wen i think of this same 1st Nov,the next yr i gt a feelin tht -
Gone will be the days
wen a new sem brought an added enjoyment n resposibility.
Gone will be the days
wen we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays,
yet managed to attend the frst lecture from the class coordinator...
Gone will be the days
wen we sit up fr those long run discussions
jus wen we r gripped wt the result tensions..
Everytime i think about the end of engineering the only thing tat comes to my mind is the fun part which came as package wt those 8 semesters, 70 odd papers clearing which had always been a nightmare all thru theese yrs...n nw tat the time has come wen everythings gonna end a lump of sadness blocks my throat..Guess am feelin very sad to leave this place n to leave these frenz wit whom i ve shared some those best moments of my life...i ll miss u ppl..i knw tht we ll all move on coz we ll ve our own priorities set our own ambitions n tht we ll seldom ve time to worry abt these things..Bt am sure tht the time we spent togethr in these 4 yrs will always always stay back in our hearts ..At ths moment i wud want to quote one of my favorite SMS s which i gt as a part of those 100 free forwards tat were sent recvd everyday as a part of vetti messagin..
"WE ALWAYS KNOW THT LOOKING BACK AT
TEARS WE SHED WUD MAKE US LAUGH.
BUT WE NEVER KNOW LOOKING BACK AT
THE JOY WE SHARED TOGETHER CAN ALSO MAKE US CRY!"
so here comes the tearful adieu to a life at EASWARI-place which made me a gal,very bold n strong, To face the world - the right n the wrong...
i can go on n on writing on ths but i guess its time to put a full stop coz its already 2.30 a.m n i need to get up early tomo to strt off wit some serious studies(forget it!!!i was jus kidding)
k its vids signin off fr nw
