Down Memory Lane....
In another six months time…I ll be an engineer….4 eventful fun filled years of graduation will be completed. I guess I ll go back to Delhi once things here are over….Its something tat I have always been waiting for…something tat I always keep telling ppl…tat i want to go back home to Delhi…But when the time has nearly come…I look back at these yrs and realize…tat this city…albeit one tat I ll never be really fond of…has given me a lot of good times and great memories….I have made close friends….met different kinds of people…and most importantly…seen a part of myself tat I never knew existed…these yrs in chennai have made me more outspoken, independent and responsible. Few of those who know me here in Chennai ll believe me when I say tat I was one of the quiet guys in class….not the kind to go about and freely interact with all sorts of people…I changed…and now…people beg me to keep my mouth shut for sometime…I decided to take up and MBA…something tat I never in my wildest dreams thought tat I would do…
There are a lot of memories tat I ll take back from this city…like the times tat we had on the tour…or those rain filled exam days…where I also decided to get my self a broken hand…those hrs spent in the class chatting with friends about every topic around the sun…the teasings tat we do…the fights….the tests…even the staff…
This is something tat we were talking about in class a few days back…and something tat I really feel about…with time…we ll move on…I guess all our priorities ll change…each of us might end up in different walks of life…but one things for sure…sometime…someday..we ll definitely sit back and ponder about these times tat we spent together…
There is another thing tat I really want to do…once we finish our engineering….i want to come back…to this same place…say after five years..and meet up….maybe even sit in the same classroom…or better still…the same canteen or bikestand…and relive those moments…It ll be strange na…a nice feeling….all of us grown up…doing god knows wat….lets hope tat is materializes….
Every time I think about the end of engineering..a song comes to my mind…its called Never Gone by Backstreet Boys…Listen to it sometime…its got beautiful words…
I ll miss u ppl….keep in touch…
