In my end is my beginning...

Yes, finally the time has come for the slam books and the farewell. In less than two weeks, all the girls ( err... women) will be wiping their tears and the men :-P will be hugging and doing the customary hand-shakes all around as they say good-bye to their near and dear ones. Every now and then I have somebody asking me, 'are you sorry that your leaving?'. Now, its not a big secret that most people detest this place. Some of them will be secretly rejoicing as they go back home, HOME- parents to pamper them, much to the envy of the siblings... and then the city life again, more freedom, no 6'0 clock in-time, no yelling warden,and pizza at any time of the day. Ha... what about me? As with everything else, I have mixed feelings for this place. I don't love it, but yeah, I don't hate it either. I've lived my life here. The last four years have taught me so much( Yeah, I know that is so cliched, but hey, it fits! ). The people I've known, the things we've done. Without exaggerating, I can say that this place did to me what the bodh tree did to lord buddha. :D From being agnostic to turning religious, from extrovert to introvert, from emotinal to rational, I'm hardly the person I used to be :-). While some of them complain about it, I find that I have no reason to change who I am now. I want to look back on these four years and remember the good days only. Its so easy to hold on to the past and make life miserable... I have seen it happen with people and myself too. I don't think I want to do that to my life ever again. What has happened has happened and no amount of brooding and sulking can change it. So why live in the past at all? Today's the day, now's the time and this is the place to be happy :-) As I revisit my college life, I see the sun rise and I smile from within :D Whatte experience I say! Cheers

To be contd...
