Finally the time has come when the prefix “ex” has come between me and SSIT. At times, I used to wonder, how happy I would be when I leave this college. No doubt, I am. But then even though if you spend 4 years in a dungeon, you start liking it, or rather get used to the pungent spell! And as soon as you get the fresh breeze, the sunburst, you do welcome them with open arms, but you will surely miss the chill you got accustomed to.
Here I am, facing the gates to the bad bad world, with unbearable coerce behind me. The dilemma continues. Was college life better? Or do I need to break the mould and get going towards greater realms of life? Only time can testify.
Suddenly I have started feeling something heavy on my shoulders. Responsibilities?? Oh God..!! But they were always there.
Right now, I don’t have a roof over my head, the hunger within surges at the usual mess time, however hard I may try to subside it. Moreover I have a couple of critical decisions to make, decision so vital, that a mistake can change the entire course of my life.
But then getting back to what I started with, I will really miss the blotted, yet beautiful, a bit dull, yet adventurous, a lonesome, yet occupied time spent in SSIT. At this juncture, the dialogues by Amir Khan in Rang de Basanti flash my mind when Su asks him why he doesn’t want to leave this place, and he says something like- “ people know me here ..and everything looks so homely….” Sometimes I really feel the same. Where will I get such friends with whom I can hang out with? With whom I can gel really well. I won’t boast of making many friends, but then I will really miss some of the special people who came in my life while my stay in Tumkur.
Those drives to dhaba, DD hills, CCD, those hang outs at unknown yet significant places for us. Raju ka lime, main bakery ki chai, vipin ka egg roll aur kiran bhaiya ki coffee …..Will really miss them all.
But then life has to move on. So am I. trying to make a fresh beginning, with the sweet memories of the past lingering my mind……
