Eight months have passed since I have written anything. These have been the most busy, wonderful, horrible, excruciatingly painful, stunningly glamorous… (I could go on and on)
A lot has happened. Yours truly almost didn’t get accepted in any university and almost died of heartbreak (It was like getting rejected from IIT six times). At that time, I was at the nadir of my existence. Finally, after months of not wanting to wake up, I did get acceptances from Georgia Tech and North Carolina, so late that most people had already started their procedures. So I’ve been quite busy. And scared. Going to Gatech but it sure is expensive. The course is MSCS.
Made a second best friend. And was immediately caught up in a whirlwind of problems in her life which took some leaps of mental gymnastics sorting out. Like I say I don’t go courting trouble…
All exams went very well thankfully. Topped seventh sem and eighth was great too. I am an engineer now. Yayness. But is has been a very very long and wearisome road. I wouldn’t have liked it any other way though. Hell, I’ll miss my poor-excuse-of-a-mental-asylum-mistakenly-looking-like -a-college.
I never thought its possible to be this sentimental about things which haven’t contributed to a single atom of well being to your existence. But then, familiarity breeds needs I guess. Suffering from weird stomach aches whenever I think about the future.
I know what Liu Bei felt before leaving Xuzhou.
Last sem was horrible. Was taught by the most idiotic HOD the IT department ever had. Sinha sir will be missed. Good for him that he left the college. IJK has become even more of a psychopath.
Life was eventful and interesting. A most deplorable state of affairs. I hate it when life becomes interesting.
A lot of things will end now. College. The metro ride. ‘Acquaintances’ who never got to be friends. Plans never quite formulated. Standing at the c-block balcony and feeling the wind in my hair. The chronicles of Narina. Going to quizzes. Cursing IEEE bvp chapter (sidenote: my worst enemy got its cosmic retribution, they have Rahul Behl as their boss now)
I’ll also have regrets not finding out explanations of a few incidents in my life till now, when stuff happened without me figuring out the hows and whys. If I remember correctly this has happened three times. I do know I’ll probably never find out now, but I’ll always remember…
Also a final non conditional apology to all those, whom in my four years, I’ve wronged in act or speech. I’m well aware that its entirely possible that many regretted my existence, and likewise. I’ve tried leading a logical as well as unselfish existence, will try harder in the future.
And yes, for good or bad, I will never change. In a world where change is worshiped, I wish to remain the only constant. Four years bowed before me, as will all time.
The blog has been officially restarted. It awaits the patronage of its former readers and others who deign to cast their eyes hither and their thoughts.
One of the few generals in history who never lost a battle
Back and how !
Interesting read, partly because it says a lot in a few words.
Others from our ‘institution’ would be quick to understand and realise. And also those who have had to feel the ache of parting with college – irrespective of how ‘wonderful’ the place was.
I think when you have such strong emotions for anything (bad or bad) – you tend to feel upheaval while parting.
Though I am glad you will take away good too, I know largely only from the ‘co-prisoners’.
Damn Goo ! I just realised – I am going to miss having you around in Swine-land. I wonder who will I raid Girls colleges (and SRCC, and IIT and others!) with, for – debates, quizzes, mock cats, crypto et al – the Harishes?
And I will miss those lenghty excogitations and debates over human psychology (or the lack it), policy and reforms (economic, socio-economic, technology and SO ON!), and other absolutely INANE stuff. The conversations between classes – helped me keep my sanity, gave me comic relief (drove me insane at times!).
Guha, good luck for the future – No point in asking you to stay in touch – I know you will!
