Ah Alas !!

Time passes by like quick sand slipping from hand.

This line has come true for all of us today. Today we stand at the place, which we had only looked upto. The place which would mark a transition into yet another phase of our lives. Even now its hard to accept that there would be a time when we would have to leave…. that life won’t be the same ever again.
I still feel as fresh as I felt three years from now….as new as I was back then. It just seems to be yesterday, when I first entered the college….. just the day before I was being ragged…..when I gave the first sessionals. But to think of it, we are almost vis-à-vis with our 19th sessionals. (Oh oh…dat sounds scary !!).

This day reminds me of the dialogue from RDB…

“ Ajee university chod ke jaane ko jee nahi karta….dard lagta hai…yahan sab sochte hai DJ mein bada daam hai…DJ kuch kar ke dikhayega….per iss university ke bahar na jane kitne hi DJ piss gaye hai”

I always thought all this was too sentimental….why would I ever think like that? But as the days of our fare-well are coming closer, I am starting to feel the jitters, starting to feel that I would really miss these days. This makes me realize that we can take so many things for granted. We become so use to our surrounding that we forget that this too shall end. We fail to see what we have in hand. It is only when the change comes that we realize we were so lucky. The fact is that in college we can be who we want to be….can do whatever we want to…our lives are our own. But life in future would be so different….we would have so many responsibilities….bosses over our heads to make our lives miserable…..the pressure to perform….to earn money. It is then that we would remember these days as the Golden Days.

So going by the saying "Live today for tomorrow it will all be history.". Looking forward to enjoying this final year to the fullest. May our bonds of friendship be strengthened for eternity. Hope we all pass out with flying colours (and jobs in our hands)!! Cheers to EC-2 (2006-2010) !!
