The last few days of hostel life seem to be so short yet so long!!! As friends leave one by one, the expectation of seeing them within 2 or 3 days as we usually do, crops up and then I tell myself that it’s not the case this time. However, no use spilling tears over it, because life gets its way always.

I have enjoyed these last few days @ hostel to the maximum extent possible, with my friends. The highlight of our mischiefs is that the hostel rule of being inside within 7:00 P.M. does not hold true for us. The reason is that we are intern students!!!! (Though some of us have finished the internships and some are gonna continue it, the hostel authorities do not know that) 😉 With this advantage, for the past 1 month I have been entering and leaving hostel whenever I want. Every time anyone asks me anything, the reply will invariably be ” I am an intern student. I have vacated the hostel and come for review or report submission or….” 🙂

I shared this technique with my other friends too, who got excited (though scared) and the outings increased as the period of our hostel life shortened.We always have 3 plans:

Plan A- Do not make eye contact with anyone @ the security cabin. Just go out and come in!!!!

Plan B- If they ask  you, tell “?????????? ???? ??????? ?????, I am an intern student”

Plan C- Still problems? Tell “??????? ??? ???????? ???????. ???????? ?????????” (This plan is mute because we wont have any travelling bags)

However, Plan A always works!!! Still, I have used Plan B on a voluntary basis, just to please the security.That too,when  I really come from my home .So why worry about Plan C being mute??? 😉 😛

As a final feat, we brought a day scholar friend into the hostel with us under the pretense of the same internship. Actually, this is quite an achievement given the fact that it’s difficult to bring day scholars inside the hostel( We have tried that once in 1st year and were caught red handed and had a difficult time in escaping). ???????? 1st year? ?????? final year? ?????????????? 😛 . Being vetti, taking so many photos trying to preserve our best moments together, chatting about all the stuff we have done, should have done, have not done, should not have done in the past 4 years, reading the slam books and having surprising revelations are too good to stop doing it.

For me, these few days are gonna end tomorrow, as I am vacating (???!!! I vacated hostel long back, when I went for internship ;)) the hostel tomorrow. So much fun… No reason to stay @ hostel, no reason to leave it either!!! ( last line is a stolen status msg 😛 😉 )

Until later 🙂

Hi people 🙂

It has happened. The last few days @ college are almost over. A mix of emotions is filling me. The farewell party fell short of my expectations. I had so much excitement and expectations in my mind, since I enjoyed the farewell we kept for our seniors. Considering the fact that juniors had exams till the previous day, I tried hard not to be disappointed. But, then the photos and videos, which were supposed to instill happy feelings did not serve their purpose because it was too obvious that there were no photos of G1. There may be no separate entities like G1 and G2 for some people, but you can’t hide the obvious fact. I accept that ours was not as interactive a class to expect too much of fun and frolic. Still, the last day was not as much as fun as it could have been.

Apart from this, a sense of solitude overcomes me, which I am desperately trying to avoid. The real farewell is with the role of a student, unless you are gonna pursue higher studies. With no more classes to attend, no more tests to be thrilled 😉 , and no more hostel life to be vetti, it is gonna be a hard time for all of us. All the incidents at college, good or bad have had a positive influence on me, giving me reasons to smile and lessons to follow, in the future.

This college, which I entered with many dreams (illusions too 🙂 ) has fulfilled many and taught me how to work for achieving the rest, will hold a special place in my heart. Thanks to all my friends, who walked  by me and will continue to do so. Though we might part ways, we will meet again along the lane of  life. Good luck people 🙂

Take care 🙂

Until later 🙂

Hi people,

The inspiration for this post lies in the e-mail that I received from a friend. The mail was actually authored by an alumnus of MIT who had listed 50 cool facts,addressing freshers who enter college with great hopes. The mail was too good,covering all the stuff that students tend to miss out,considering them to be insignificant. So, here are some of the things that I like to share at the end of these precious 4 years….

1. Having friends is great,but never get over-indulged. This is because when they change,you will be struck by an over-powering helplessness and loneliness. If your friends change, let them and if you want to change for the better,feel free to do so.

2.Enjoy the subtle happenings in college,because one day,those trivia might look so precious,but long gone.

3.Do not worry too much about being sincere. Enjoy small mischievous moments with your friends. Take things sportively-I mean moments like being scolded for late submission of assignments or an incomplete record or a difficult experiment for your lab test 😉

4.Do not strive too much for marks. It is better to strive for knowlegde. Marks and knowledge are totally unrelated.

5.Record your precious moments in the form of videos,photographs etc. because some day,they will give you reasons to smile with tears in your eyes. 🙂

6. Preserve favourite songs of your college life as they might turn out to your ever-green songs reminding the shared moments of happiness.

7.Let go of certain things if needed,though you may think that they are the essence of your life. It’s time to learn to move on.

8.Learn to accept things as they come since nothing is  gonna get better by worrying.

9.Try some risks in life just for the fun of it,but don’t get caught 😉 (I think I have tried quite a few to have a good laugh,anytime I re-live them).

10.Never try too much to please someone. It results in more hurt than it is worth for. 🙂

There are lots more,but these are the top priorities. All of us might have experienced the truth of such ideas at some point of our college life(If not till now,we will certainly do so in this final phase of 1 month). So share these lovely moments with your friends and enjoy these once-in-a-lifetime experiences before it is too late. 🙂

Until later. 🙂
