Counting my blessings….

When I walked into college as this very immature dreamy kid who thought any college was the average Karan Johar set,and no more books,no more study and yes…no more responsibility.Its been 4 years since then(is my maths wrong??) and a many times a happy and sad journey.Finally….hopefully in the next few months I would be graduating( if sem 7 & 8 goes all right),a great relief to 4 years of unending tension and passion(?? ) to achieve (read -clear the papers) and to understand oneself better (I jus cant do math for nuts,pathetic at programming and entirely nocturnal…should have college timings changed).The days of fun are coming to an end…true they had to…but not this soon!!The rolla-coater rides to my college(heard who dares wins wanna get 1 of r buses 4 an episode),an in”SIGHT”ful vision into the horizons of IT revolution along the coasts of chennai , unperturbed sleep - courtesy radio-mirchi,the canteen puffs,pulao,biryani….different names but same taste,the numerous dogs that sat through our math class(that wasn’t any pun),the air-conditioned libraries…well I spent a major chunk of my college life in the library alone…but never with the slightest intention of reading books,leave alone checking the stock!My college has been a lucky place to be inhabited by some beautiful creatures-slithering snakes,cats,horses(some say there r cows…watever),friends of apesJ.College has given me some of the best birthdays…the surprise cake(hehe I was expecting that),the birthday bumps(didn’t even dream abt tht),getting pushed into a pool and traveling 4 hrs in a crowded bus completely drenched!!!The little surprise parties for friends,some of them flopping.The innumerable silly fights(funny to think of the reasons),those hard days,those embarrassing things(flopping before a review nd trying unsuccessfully to faint)!!But….honestly the thing that makes me sad about parting are …the people!Some best buddies, some good friends,some were not anymore…but still I would miss them, every single person I came across.College is the perfect learning place for those of us who failed to learn lessons from our relationships at school and yes..those that failed to make relationships at schoolJ.College is the right place to make mistakes,to know from the eXperienced what went wrong and at the same time feel not feel small.Atleast you can always escape from your fallacies claiming you are still underage.It beats to repeat this but the greatest thing college teaches us is about people and strangely in a way about ourselves,our attitudes to these people.I personally have been lucky that truck load of the nicest people I met have been in college!So,the billion dollar question…will distance keep us apart?Think as I might to swirl into flash-back and peep into “keeping touch” as a chapter from the past…best friends remain so,though as years go by we find lesser number of people to complain about and lesser we gossip with!Gossip?!To many it might sound incoherent…but trust me some of the best friendships are born outta common passions….as my inherent passion for gossip.An INTEREST that can take on any kinda info..the only quote that comes to mind now is….senthil’s famous dialogue in Boys…”Information is wealth”.Anyway,cutting this discussion short as far as gossip goes I can just go on and on.Loveya all!Thank u folks and yesas far as college.…”everything that has a beginning has an end” r’nt semester a matrix too!
