How clearly the emotions we remember, of those frightened
steps that were hesitant to move ahead. That was the day when few timid hearts
obliged with immense aspirations consoled themselves, and accepted what they
ultimately arrived at. That was the first day when we entered our engineering
college…

I am in final year of my B-tech now. And for me, there has been a series of learning and experiences outside my textbooks. I know this would be true for my immediate seniors too. They ended their terms in our college after their completion of final semester, and have left us alone. I had been attached emotionally with some, and tied friendliness with many. The most crucial thing I am going to miss now is I won’t be hanging around them explaining peculiar thoughts and curiosities that pet in my mind. Few things no one understands, and I never explain them to everyone. I will miss them who truly understood what I used to explain. :D
Whatever be your college's status, whatever curse you prize your college with, at the
end you are going to miss it. I have seen them… not just through the moistness
that prevailed in their eyes but through the unexplainable silence rooted
somewhere deep inside. Emotions pouring through eyes are not as powerful as the
silence is, and that too creased in a smile. Unexplainable situations, I know I
would have to witness myself too. The one which is a year far, I know that will
get closer in blink of an eye. At the end, we people turn out to be so
dependent on the ambiance that prevail consistently in our hostel. When back
to home, we tend to stick to the same routine, we tend to find the same people.
Who is going to bang on to our doors shouting aloud names connecting them with
girls in the nearest girl’s hostel, who will be there to quarrel for a puff of cigarette?
Friendship is the last string that keeps you attached in your memories despite
of truck load conspiracies you got to confront in your four years.
I won’t point out names of my seniors specifically because
almost everyone had been very special to me in one way or the other. I got to
learn something from them which awakened me from sort of darkness in different
realms. Now me being in the final year, I take the responsibility to support
and elate my juniors. I have plans for this year. I hope I will be able to
execute them efficiently. And for my seniors, I wish them good luck for their
lives ahead. And as Robert Frost had said, ‘In three words I can sum up
everything I've learned about life: it goes on’; so lets move on, and pledge to work even
harder in our future and march ourselves towards excellence.
Please do stay in touch!
