Long time since I visited this page. And this gap was because of my vacation, and my busy schedule which is actually keeping me away from using net. A lot of eventful and exciting things are happening and I have made few decisions that might change my life or prolly not.
But one thing, I feel so content nowadays, lot of tough days ahead still some kind of happiness.
The reason being very simple..I'm in final year :):) And I just can't believe...when you go to the mess there are three tables of juniors warmly smiling at you and calling you "akka"..and you have the bleddy guts to raise your voice in front of everyone and you don't fear anyone....somethings which were important seem trivial now...
Tomorrow we'll be organising the interview for the new batch..and that's when I realised we have grown...I remember when I came for the interview five years back..that innocence, that pride of scoring above 90%, that pride of having extra curricular activities and a lot of certificates were the things that all of us knew or had and that is all we cared to know abt others...I remember the then final years inspiring us by making us feel if we get into this course we are done for our lives (in a positive way)....And how all of us got inspired by the way they spoke to us about the placements, college, and hostel .In spite of their warnings about the rules and food all of us had this small desire of getting into the college and few of us plainly decided in that five minutes conversation that this is the best course and we deserve to be here.Five minutes is all that it took to make that decision and five minutes is all that it took them to convince us...Dunno wat ran on our minds that time that we are here today...
And today when Vishnu came in announcing that "Dei tomorrow we need to volunteer da!! We should help the juniors ...We should put scene..we should boast about our course and why this course and why not other courses...we should talk abt this that"..blah blah..and the list goes on...
And that was when we realised...when we came in five years back, there would have been a rep who would have come to class and would have requested his classmates to do this and there would have been an overly emotional person like me who would have been excited and would have started thinking of ways of motivating the candidates just so that they feel they have done justice to the course and to themselves and feel its the way they can tell the outside world what they would gain and what they would miss if they do or don't get...And that is when we realised all we need is an effective five min conversation that'll make them feel that this is was exactly what they were looking for...
And one more thing I can't believe is happening to me and something I don't want to accept is I'm growing old :(
Its nice to be in final year..you seem to have grown and matured and lived an important part of your life in this very place..and at the same time you are happy about running away from here in another 5 months :P
PS:- Though I have spent five years in a hope that few things would change in hostel for good...they don't change ,they just don't change..they are just becoming worse...like the barbaric behaviour among girls in hostel..somehow they just don't change...and this one thing again makes me happy..cos only when you meet more of such people do you start believing you are much better and you feel happy that you were able to manage even in a place with such people who lack discipline and self hygiene...
