A memorable end...

I have had a month of one of my best holidays in life and then a month of new college life... I would try summing all of that here..

One of my best holidays... It was not about visiting Paris or holidaying at Manali..It was only about spending time with friends, some very close and some whom I knew since school.. That one month of holidays post my bachelors saw me visiting many new places with old friends..

Bonded the maximum with school friends, sometimes for long drives, sometimes to Goli or CTR,sometimes just gossiping and recollecting the old times and sometimes going back to the place where we created memories,KENSRI school.. School friends know maximum of our secrets and the some of the most embarassing moments we've had are in school.

I still remember the spark in our teachers' eyes on seeing us after a long time. I was so nervous to take an appointment from one of my all-time favourite teachers,Renu Ma'am for all of us to go and meet her. I gathered some courage to get that done and am so glad that I did it..I was overjoyed when she said she managed to take time out since it was me asking it.. May be I was one of the favourite students of my favourite teachers. Meeting Srish Sir and listening to his words of wisdom again after five years felt great...The way the teachers received us,remembering each of us even after so many many years and after seeing so many batches made me realise why teaching is such a humble and noble profession.. I salute each one of them today since they all have a huge role to play in what I am today.

I also took some time out to spend with really close PU friends who had left am imprint on my life forever. The moments I spent with them those two years at MCC was priceless..We had fights, we made up for it, had fun and some great learning experiences together.. Relived them and spent some time gossiping about our current lives and what we intend to do in the future.

Last but not the least, I spent a lot of time with my MVIT friends during holidays. We would all part away after three to four years together not knowing when we will all meet next. A few of us had planned what we wanted to do ahead in life and a few of us wanted some time to figure out where life is taking us. I was stranded somewhere in between these groups. With four companies in hand and a decent scope to go abroad, with GATE results not too good,but not too bad either I had too many options to confuse me.

With so many options but none so appealing, I tried hunting for other options. Attending the IIT-B interview made me feel great. But, my friends, who knew me the best, told me not to sacrifice on my course just for a college brand. And I am so glad I listened to them. With minute hopes of getting in one of the IITs for some inter-disciplinary course, I had a solid option in hand. IIIT-B. A major advantage was the faculty and location while the only thing bothering me was the high fees.

The confusions on the career front did not stop me from enjoying with friends. The time came where we had to give farewells to friends one after the other. All the memories would flash in front of us when they say good bye with heavy hearts. i always used to picturise my farewell that time. Fortunately, I would be close to home. The thought of not knowing when we would meet after sharing our joys and sorrws together for a few years seemed difficult. But there is a new hello that awaits every goodbye.

A month just vanished in partying,shopping,enjoying,relaxing and bidding our goodbyes. After discussions with dozens of friends and well wishers, I had taken the decision to join the International Institute of Information Technology,Bangalore for my Masters. In the last week of holidays, I made it a point to meet my group of friends and family. I always anticipated a hectic two year M Tech.I

There was a lot of emotions going inside me personally. I had met almost all my friends in the Facebook page but the apprehensions always existed. Would I be able to fit in a place like this? Would I get like-minded people with whom I can share all the things happening in my life and share my feelings? How would life be away from home? No more easy-going way to get things done,no more pampering..More responsibilities, more dedication towards studies... How would they manage at home without having their chauffeur in her Pleasure to drop them and do things for them? Loads of questions bouncing inside me but I chose to remain calm outside..May be that would make them feel better...
