Note: If you've not been my college mate it might not be of any interest to you! You can still relate to it to some extent though. (Contains: "Gyaan")
Every now and then It does come in every educated lifetime!
Yes It's Graduation!
And with this sense of achievement comes an ever lasting evening!
Yes It's Farewell!
And All the memories preceding the evening actually become the most dear ones reminding 'us' of the free spirit that we were without any 'real' worries and responsibilities!
Strings Strum, Balls Roll, Drums Beat, Moods strike, Eyes weep, Lips Smile!
It's pure thought process (uncensored!)
Never really, I intend to be a sentimental fool. I just happen to be sometimes.
Am I being Serious, Bil-Cool!
But I'll not make mt. Everest melt to water!
And
I'm not drunk! I don't! You know that, don't you?
I wish life was like those good movies where we could all live in a beautiful valley with many waterfalls and have a cup of coffee every evening discussing whatever we like, playing whatever we like and living the way we like. Sounds fascinating? yes that's a fantasy!
I don't know from where should I start? Perhaps, I'm still a bit used to to writing 'contemplative' RTU exams, but whatever I want to say is at-least relevant and organized!
It seems just yesterday when we came to the college having a metro-cool image of 'college-life' in our respective 'developed' minds but as you know it's not like 'those movies'. It's more real and in some sense it had been more/just fun for 'many'!
Coming here from our respective 'kingdoms' (say Delhi they sworn of ?) as the 'observant' and 'opinionated' teenagers. We were more than reluctant that we were above the 'class' of college and unfortunately "we just happened to be here" (Destiny you know). Pretty soon, we adapted to the juggling schedule of an engineering college. Late night studies, assingnments, practicals, presentations and those projects! In case of of BMIT we Guys adapt to 'dictatorship' as well! U know whom I'm talking bout!?!
Who can forget that Freshers Period? Zero Button,No belts, No sport shoes/sneakers,No Casual dressing plus extra-oiled 'strands' for girls. OhhMazing torture.
The 'Hostlers' have had a bigger share of that 'socially-delicious-pie' that when wasted made them feel that pain!( ***)
Still, we cant get enough of that. Honestly speaking, there has been no serious ragging in our college days(That's a good part!)
And Finally here we are graduated in this course of two sided life as well!
Guess, we never accepted that we liked our college to some extent but had tried to defend it otherwise from it's siblings in Jaipur!(occasionaly)
Yes, all of a sudden I've started to love this college (well at some point of time I felt like I should hug/kiss each and every single corner
of the campus....Yeah that's super crazy!) but, Now I realize It's not actually the college that's recipient of my accidental love but
it's 'Us' that I loved, do and will. After all these wonderful past four years we are actually a bit used to 'Us' part.
No matter Where or what 'Us' do; chatting, teasing, playing etc etc etc....
Now, it does seem strange that in this next phase of life that 'US' part would be left behind. As it's supposed to be; we want to be established as individuals with our own respective identities. Sometimes, I ask myself that "will these days ever come
back again?" or
"Will we be holding those long overnight discussions?".
"Will there be a new hangout place, where we shall meet regularly or sometime"?
Then again I know the answers that are correct enough to get a passing grade!
Never do 'they' see people interacting much after graduation, well It continues for sometime then with the ever engaging time all
that talking is left behind. All of them move out to different places or even same places but not many realize their commitments with 'Us'!
For many people it can be very hard to accept but it's like this and it's tough, complex and totally unpredictable and hence they call-"It's Life!"
Taking a deep breath.................................. I'm thinking of what would it be like after 8 or 10 years? Seeing people around me...or call it influence of those movies. We'll be settled,wont we?
Ohh God! Those adults have a "conservative" life-style, I mean kids, wife/husband and the whole family to look after. Don't you think we'd be bounded.
("Socho tum Godi main Bache ko leke chal rahe ho side main Husband/Wife uske maa papa aur side main dusra bachha bolta hai Mom/Dad Choclate! bas yehi tumhario zindagi hai" You'll stop and think of these days then your partner will pinch you saying Get real Idiot, Chinnu ko Choclate dilao!)
!"Just Imagine"! Kidding.
Well, since I'm not in that phase of life so It's better not to be a judge. OHHkk Plus thirties you're living a great life!
Talking about relevantly called "Future-Plans", What's on our respective minds?
Job/further education/joining Father's Business etc etc!
Although they tell me I'm good at this and that but some people do say I really make very good coffee and tea and I clean up very well.
Such a homely household guy I'm, Yes my mother is proud but I'm not going to open up a 'Thadi', still my household thadi is open to all friends(as always!).
It's the interest and inner motivation that should drive you. What ever you want, just be specific! and don't let fascinations guide you. Most of people are going for further education just because it's a 'trend'!(not talking about all of them!) As they're not getting a job, so its better to seek excuse and go for MBA/M.tech/MS but that education is always need/interest based.
I remember where all that MBA fever started with ISB's highest package touching 1Cr. Rupees! (Hilarious, isn't it?) and suddenly every parent became so obsessed with their progenies getting that elite business education, this is true even with the students who just get fascinated by the lucrative remuneration even before realizing their potential and interest and all such end up being "just average" for all their life!
(Sorry went off topic I guess, not deleted though.)
It's good to make plans if we stick to them. I know you have some.
I always make plans and sometimes they're realized, I can't help myself but to make some far far away plans...
!Like! First say thanks to the 21 century's significant invention of "Social Networking Sites". Where We can always
communicate.
Well, Even In my 70s I plan to write on your Facebook Walls, Saying "Howdy" to your Grand Children!( Yeah, that's a vision!)
It's good to stay positive, isn't it?
The next phase is sure going to be challenging as well as exciting with lots of ups and downs.
Hence, like the good times the bad times are inevitable, so why worry about that and spoil this very moment. Yen-Joy!
We're Young and Want to Do something,
We have Nothing to Lose, then Why worry about the failures?
We've Just started, If you have something in mind Go Try it or regret for rest of you life saying "You Could have Done it". Of Course there are millions to criticize us but don't just jump into anything because they are saying that you should.
During all the past years of my life, one of the greatest lessons I've learnt is that "Absolute Key to failure is to do something just to impress others/someone". That way we'll be losing ourselves and the very potential.
Believe and Do what you want to, The start might be slow but the journey therafter is the one that 'will' bring the 'real' happiness.
I just wish that you people (and I) stay focused and positive.
Rest will take care of itself with support from you Efforts and Persistence.(these are compulsory!)
Remember as they say "Life's full of Choices and Compromises", Only you choose to be "what you are"!
Keep the Enthusiasm alive and give endless tries to Try!
You're Going to be a Winner!
(!Free Gyan!)
I know you people know more than I do as I've learned some or other thing from all of you. You've Helped me to be a better person(rite from 'then' to this very moment you continue to inspire me in some way).
Well...well well, perhaps there is so much more to say and I need time to recollect (I'm such a tube-light you know :p) but If I publish this blog after a year it'll lose its sense.
Guys(that includes ALL THOSE GIRLS and ALL THOSE BOYS), I don't know where will you be and what will you be doing 'then'.
But I'll always keep you in my favorite memories.
Ok, before concluding I want to give you guys a ghostly CURSE!
In the Name of that First 'Driving' force of universe "Let Utmost excitingly Cheerful 'Happiness' Haunt you for all your Life".
ha ha ha ha ha, You're Cursed Now! I won't change my mind. Move on dancing to the tune of your heart. Pretty much like pied piper of Hamelin. The world shall follow my friend.
Stay Musical !!!
