RAIT- The wonder Years

Hi guys, this post comes after a very weired time in my life, the last one was an outcome of a very depressed and frustrated state of my mind. Anyways, am back to normal, alive and kicking and yes getting bored and wondering what to do next and always ending up lazing arnd rather than dng smthng constructive.

But thats not the point I have in mind as I write here. This one is completely dedicated to my friends, my collegge friends as well as Sunny Junaid and Rohan. But since I have written about Rohan Sunny and Junaid in a previous post, I would tlk more abt my coll frnds here.

So guys, first of all thanks for being there(a typical line when u want to show gratitude, but nthng better than this). As the last sem is finally beginning, a strange realisation of the past always fills me when I am with u guys. All those moments we have spend together just keep playing as if a vdo being played repeatedly.

Earlier I never cared to enjoy the moments we had together in coll, for me coll was not more than IEEE and robotics. But since the last sem when I have 'retired' from all these activities, theres plenty of time to have fun, at least to be with u guys. I think I have started recognizing u guys a bit better, all because now I bother to care.

But as always I am late in dng good thngs, here I am realising all this when coll is about to end. The other day me and Abhishek were wondering how many of us will care to stay in touch after our coll finishes. And I really found the answer hard to fathom, that is when I realised how little I know about my frnds with whom I spend most of my time of the day. But still at least I know that I will care to stay in touch.

I was just browsing thru the pics and vdos we have shot in our engg days and I realised we all have changed a lot, physically of crse(from those timid FE's to care free BE's), but many other aspects as well. All of us have reached a new level of understanding, the pitty fights have reduced, they have transformed to hard core wars:). I have started appearing more in front of the camera, rather than always preferring to take pics. Most of us are 'committed' now. We all have graduated to gvng surprise birthday parties to everyone, most of us have stopped bothering abt results(except me, i never cared abt results), the meaning of coll has changed from a place to study(atleast we made sincere attempts for the first two years to do that) to a place to just escape from a harsh wrld outside and go inside a cocoon, a shelter with frnds arnd and a sense of protection and warmth.

Ppl have strted acquiring the status 'busy' on messenger, courtesy the permanent status 'committed'. I must tell u guys this committed status comes with a lot of packages attached. For eg. lots of profile fotos for orkut, to share on messenger. Ppl have strted going on shopping excursions just for 'her' or 'him'. These things were just dreams in FE and SE. But times have changed and they have changed for good. All these situations have kind of tied us tighter than we were before, made us more tolerant of each other.


And all this while I feel like I am a bystander, I never lived those moments of initial bonding with u guys, I was always there, but never connected. Again no regrets for that, I never wanted to get too involved with ppl, I always feared our friendship wud end before it even began.

But all that time has gone and has taught me a lot, u guys have taught me a lot. Thanks for all that. This might look like a farewell message, but honestly guys, every moment we spend tgether, seems like smthng is cmng to an end, which I want to hold onto, but cannot. So just wanted to make the most of the moments left, just wanted to thank u guys for being a part of the most wonderful years of my life.
