Adieu Chennai
Am writing this post with a very heavy heart..Till today the realisation of my journey back to Nagpur did not strike me much..For past 2 days i was so busy tat i dint bother to clean my book-shelf ( one tat houses all my memories of 4 years)..I ve always thought of cleaning the shelf but by the time the thoughts are converted into actions the next sem comes and the thought remains a thought..The shelf is so messy with the books, papers of 4 years tat, wen i opened it today the whole picture of my BE career was rolling in front of me..
The first thing to trumble out was memories- the prospectus..Something tat inspired me to join EASWARI..The only thing in fact..It reminded me of those days in SRM office when i used to be so confused as to wat course i shud opt..Used to think hard as wat interested me most, after 4 long years am still thinking :)...Well cleanin the old stuff is a ritual to be performed esp wen u need to vacate the room..
I see the first shelf now..Previous semester books fall on the top..Then all those cycle test papers which remind me of all my successful attempts of copying in the exams without getting caught..Then i see countless number of zeroxs - some from books , some written by our class geeks..A blue ag which has all microprocessor notes and all some zerox and buks of tat sem..It was the most terrifying semester..I had decided not to throw my microprocessor notes coz i was so sure tat i ll flunk..But Anna University as usual proves tat there s an inverse relation between wat u study and the marks u get or the marks u get and how u performed..My old mobile phone which i had used soooo much tat iif God gave it a chance it wud ve slapped me n ran off from me..Then 100s of assignments tat we copied from the same book so much for jus another Engineering semester..
Second shelf is full of novels which i claimed to study but did not even tuch(few exceptions remain).My unfinished letter to my parents dated 21/01/2005..Then all the slam books in which people have written sweet things about me..I read all the entries..Its written "We ll keep in touch"..But i know the hourglass wud soon get better of us and only the keepsakes ll remain..I know all of us know this but are not ready to accept and just believe blindly the situations ll be the same as now..We ll all grow up more atleast to an extent of giving a valid and more technical reason for not meeting up..
Then i found umpteen earrings , bangles ( only after coming to Chennai i cud see feminism creeping onto me:) )...NOw the time has come to pick up only a few of all these and dispose off the rest..And only now i get this realisation tat indeed i need to go back to the pavilion , ve to leave this room where i stayed fr 3 long years, where i ve had the best of my life, the frens whom i can never afford to miss , the place which i ve started liking despite a strong opposition from my innerself...
Finally this is my last post from my home sweet home, infact the last one in this city..N i feel really sad about it..My hunt for getting 2 alphabets B.E behind my name has given me so much in return tat the problems tat i faced in the due-course seem to be miniscule..
Well am supposed to dismantle (or wateva u call it ) my computer and pack it...My mom s waiting to shift all my luggage and handle the keys to the owner..
It so happens tat when we u r in a hurry thoughts seem to flow like river..I can go on writing .. Am jus getting late..
Pls bear up with all the mistakes , i don ve the time to even ve a second look at the post..I ll do it wen i go to Nagpur..
Do comment on the post..
With lots of luv

Cool post...and i still havent cleaned my dirty room...i ve got everything which u had in d shelf, rite from my school question papers, to the answer sheets tat i scored marks by copying each nd every word frm text book,, feel like cleaning d room but god only knows wen d lazy devil inside me ll change my mind to clean d stuff... will take years to keep my room tidy, being here in Chennai i never ll clean..unless i shift house or go sumwhere else... Now aftr readin ur post feels like cleanin nd cherishing gud old memories of school nd sweet college life...coz its only wen i arrange my room will cum to know of d answer sheet mischiefs nd hilarious moments of my childhood to mature guy....And who knows u may cum bak to Chennai living here forever well settled, so i definitely dont agree its ur last post frm Chennai :-)
Cheers Vid
