The unforgettable years...

It was July 21st of 2002 when through out the day I was too much enthusiastic about going to a dream place for mathematics students the IIT(s). Yes I got admission in IIT Delhi packed up and all set to leave in night for Delhi. It’s for the first time I was stepping out of home, entering to a new completely different world, where there won’t be mummy or papa or bhai or sister, but only strangers. When it was time to leave home come I found each step leading outside gets heavier and difficult. That time I felt why I cleared JEE, I don’t want others feel sad as I was leaving them. Although I know they want me to go for my better future only. The next day, my first day in the institute which was dream for many but a reality for me and some others. The place was very much welcoming new students, there was a cheerful atmosphere in hostels as of new students like me and many others. The seniors were too much enthusiastic specially the then II yearites, as of arrival of new fuchhas and they became senior. The first year thus started, with so called interaction with seniors, then a lot of hostel activities under various clubs and a lot of stuff. It was the time when studies took back seat. There were some who manage to keep up with studies but I was not among those people. The majors of first sem were worth remembering when I had to struggle very hard to clear a course, the night before its paper was unforgettable one. Although nothing much prepared I slept at around 12 with "jo hoga dekha jaayega attitude" Others were with score better than mine were fully awake and were amazed. Somehow I cleared that exams and found that my grades suffered too much, I got 5 pointer. This shock was enough for me to be careful in terms of studies for the coming semesters. And thus my CG keeps on improving. The time was passing at its own pace with some rememberable trips, occasions and moments. While entering I never thought that this would be the place where I will find the friends of life time. The friends with whom I shared some of the best moments of my life. Whether its playing volleyball or basketball or badminton specially during exam time at night or going for movies and coming late night walking straight from hall covering about 3-4 kms or trip to manali in last sem or even our after dinner walks, each and everything is very much rememberable. Somehow the time has passed and we come to final semester. The placement season has started, people were getting job where as there were some who failed everytime in interviews even after clearing all the rounds. But there was a hope which helps everyone to get the job sooner or later. Similar was the case with me as I was among the last 20% of the students who got placed on campus. Then there come the last day 16th May 2006, a day which no one of us had thought of till a few days ago. People were packing their stuff and moving ahead in life leaving behind the past, but it was ofcourse a difficult time for everyone as almost all of us had found some friends here in last 4 years. And atleast for me it was difficult to leave the friends and move ahead, but time can’t stop so we have to move on. The feeling and situation was again the same as it was 4 years ago when stepping out of home for the first time, just the place and people were changed. This time there wasn't any family member but there was another much larger family a family of friends between whom I had passed more then 75-80% of my life in those 4 years. It had become hard to step out of hostel leaving behind your friends but in my case it was somewhat easier as I was among last to leave the hostel, with the promise to the close friends to meet after one month and go for a trip with them to Vaishno Devi temple. Now even after almost 2 years, I still miss that part of life. Even though being in contact with friends I still miss them as being face 2 face has much more value than talking them on mails or chats or even phones.
I AM MISSING YOU ALL DOSTO.....
