Yes, i am back again after a brief hiatus! :) The reason for my sudden and inexplicable hibernation i shall state to be is my 'college fest'.Being in the last year of my graduation i had made up my mind to enjoy myself to the hilt during my college fest this year and enjoy i did!The past few days have been so damn overwhelming for me and to every person of the T.Y student fraternity that try as we might we aren't able to concentrate on our studies even after the completion of our festivities.

Sure when we were in the second year all we could think of was clearing our academic year and moving onto the final year so that we could be the bosses and numero uno in our college ensuring the awe of freshers and our juniors.Little did we realise then that today, exactly a year later all us T.Y' eits shall be moved to tears the minute someone utters the word COLLEGE. This was the place wherein each one of us had our first major crushes,the very historic location where we celebrated our FRIENDSHIP with such exuberance and gusto albeit some major fights in the canteen over petty issues only to kiss and make up (pun unintended) a day later.

The haven where each one of us learnt what real friendship was and understood that the essence of friendship lay not in sharing our joys or trying to reduce our sorrow but being able to empathise with each other and trying to understand the others predicament.Friends came and friends left-- just like rats deserting a sinking ship,but the true good ol' ones stayed put only to be there when it mattered the most.And i guess that's what matters.

So when the day of our farewell dawned little did we realise that probably henceforth we shall no longer be in a cocoon.Instead we shall emerge out of it as a beautiful butterfly raring to suck the nectar out of the flowers in the valley.As the day progressed it was soon time for all of us to bid goodbye to our institution.M.C.C short for Mulund College of Commerce.As the band crooned to the hit song ""Yaaron dosti"" by Kay Kay; try as we could; we failed to hold back our tears.Each guy/gal took a walk down the memory lane and got reacquainted with all those special moments that i am sure shall be cherished forever and ever..... Hugs and handshakes were exchanged aplenty.The entire atmosphere was electric (if i may say so)--- girls crying abashedly and guys trying their level best to try and act tough(don't know why though!)

On the one hand there was estacy amongst all,while on the other there was an aching feeling of despondency.A feeling that crept out of the very fact that we were no longer college students who could mess about in the corridors during the recesses or mindlessly and if i may add shamelessly roam about the multiplexes bunking lectures only to reach home and state ..'oohh i had such a tiring day in college!'' I too was engulfed in this tsunami of emotions not wanting to return home that night.But return home i did and its been three days post our farewell yet at times my mind lingers back to those freakishly cool or exasperatingly irritating moments in college leaving me both misty eyed and joyous at the same time.


HUM RAHEIN YAA NAA RAHEIN KAL.. ...YAAD AYENGE YEH PAL .. :)


Three cheers to my dear COLLEGE M.C.C- hip hip huraaaaaah!!!!!!!!!

  1. hey,this post takes me back to your write up in yuva vani, 'down the memory lane'...that did move me to tears and this one too...though college life is far from over for me (2.5 yrs more to go, its a 5 yr course), yet i completely understand wat it feels to be out of college, the very thought of which moves me. as u rightly pointed out, in college n schoold we live in such a protected evironment, dunno wat the future holds for each one of us...anywys best of luck for all your future endeavours...
