I am already 3 hrs into this dreadful day ....Ranjeet and Manda are leaving today morning and othes are leaving for the Gopalpur trip and left are Vishal and Vishal (Anand) to wipe each others tears off , for background music we have Mr. Bhuiya delivering us lectures, flagging off the Infosys pre joining training.
I just had a walk around the koleg with other guys, we had some pics clicked with 'Langra', as usual, in some unusual positions (climbed up the KIIT main gate 2 pm in the nyt). Till tommorow i did had fears but i didnt really felt very uncomfortable but it was today sitting in 1C-153 watching Manda and Rahul do their packing , the fears slowly took realistic shape. I went away saying "i cant handle it".
Their are 3 sad things, resonating at precisely the same day and same tym. One, Ranjeet and Manda leaving once and for all from this koleg. Two, Rahul, Ansh, Sunny, Langra, etc leaving for the 3 day tour .Third, i will not be leaving for either and to add to the wound we will be entertained by Infy training classes.
Below are 10 things that probably would not have happened had i not been to an engineering koleg and been a part of such a group of crazy friends and also few may not happen again................
1> I would never have been a part of this wonderful society, with its Indian diversity in terms of Culture, language, lifestyle etc. Its like a sample of India here which i was lucky enough to have witnessed. It's a great feeling to have Rajasthan, Bihar, UP, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Jharkhand, MP all packed in one neighborhood of 4 rooms. Seriously, as Govinda sung ""It happens only in India''''.
2>had i not been here, i would never had the courage to walk 15 kms at midnight giving 'auto walas' a pass ..and all this, just for fun. The best part was when we had juice at Kalinga hospital after walking 8 kms (this was the only place open in the whole city that late). To many it may look insane..but seriously try it....took us 3 hrs to reach hostel
3> i would never have remain awake the whole night just to have a cup of tea....
4>would never have bunked an exam just for the sake of it...because a friend is skipping it.
5> would never have ran 3 kms in my lyf and go Gym for workouts.....
6>Before coming to an engineering koleg, i was shy, timid. had i not been here,i would never have gathered courage to skip TCS selection process because i felt Infosys was better for me than TCS. But to tell u the fact, the 4 days gap between TCS and Infy gave me such extreme nervous moments that i hadnt imagined.
7>would never have been a part of a Hunger Strike
8> would have never accepted a bet to drink 4 hot chillies mixed with just 4 tablespoon of water. ( all my lyf .....tears ran ,,just by the look of it ,,,...my pet name at home is 'Mithu' which happened to be a popular name for parrots....all my lyf i was teased by my Uncles by the phrase "Mithu Mirchi Khayega????"""
9>would have never have seen a live example of the lesson that their is no extreme for Human being and a person really doesnt have limitations. If he has passion and will , then he is bound to achieve anyhting.
10> The most important of the all...............above things happened because i was part of a crazy and extraordinary bunch of friends .........had i not been to this koleg i would have never spent 4 years of my lyf with such amazing room mates and friends .....
Speaking about the Roomi stuff....We were nearly perfect for each other, we almost never (barring a rare occasion) had differences of opinions concerning room matters. We enjoyed everything together ,,,right from watchin movies, Listen to songs, eat , played games. During around 2nd semester we had an understanding that anything which is a part of this room belongs to the room ,not to a person.right from eatables to harddrives or even the pocket money...and look at the destiny we got placed in same company....
P.S.- It was great times and whenever i look back at these 4 years i will be having a smile on my face

good one, as most of your blogs :)
I am sure all of the hostelites had similar feelings while watching their friends leave.
