A beautiful breezy ride back to college in the magic hour, a million brilliant thoughts in mind, amazing music playing in my ears and a resultant smile on my face, but something's remains to be done! What is it, I ask myself. The answer, you need to rush back to your room, switch on your laptop, log on and write a post!! It's the perfect time and it's now!
Yes, it's been a while, quite a while at that since I wrote last. Sometimes at a loss of words, sometimes at a loss of thought and sometimes just lost in myself, I had almost detached from writing, writing for myself, about what I feel. Guilt lay underneath but so many other things lay above it that I couldn't really go under all of them to do something about that guilt. But today, something just felt right, something like a calling and I knew this was when I address that guilt and get typing away, ferociously! And to type , well, I have sufficient!
As my Whatsapp status says, back here...one last time. Indeed, the time arrives! The final months at SIMC. Hmmm, the journey! I have always marveled at it's diversity and velocity! Time, come to think about it didn't really flow away too fast but yeah, it was swift! People incoming, outgoing, roaming, almost like telecom technologies, experiences so rapidly in succession that half a breath later you are not allowed to have the remaining half of it, lessons learnt, sometimes the hard way and two almost two years later, it is almost time now to say adieu. As I have always said to my friends and relatives, life now shall be divided into two broad parts- life pre-SIMC & life post-SIMC. Yes, it's been a major, major game changer, a literally life changing experience! Even after repeating this endlessly, I still feel it with the same intensity. Okay, I have to admit that by the time I will be leaving this place, I won't be missing it as much as I thought I would. It does become mundane, yes, even THIS sort of an atmosphere becomes mundane. But it will be the people.....the people who will be remembered, both for the great and worst times and I think it won't end here, it will go a longer way for at this time, at this juncture, it's not really like a school ending. Well it may or may not either, I don't know. No presumptions, no expectations. Many of my batchmates, maybe including me, would not really recommend this college to other aspirants for it's educational merits because as it stands, the image people have concocted of it and it's reality are far off from each other. But personally, I would probably recommend it for the larger than the classroom experience, the pan-Indian atmosphere, the experience of meeting a country full of people at one spot and live with them for two years and learn about them and eventually about you, I would recommend it for the atmosphere which can inspire, amaze, transform and teach. I would recommend it for the avenues it can open, to explore bigger avenues and I would recommend it for how tremendously exponentially people discover Cupid's existence and make you understand what they mean when they say when the world is actually a small place.
And...for me, it's still not over yet! It probably never will.....
