When the Curtain Drops!!!!

So this is it then....4 years....this is what we get at the end of the 4 years...a simple fullstop on the paper and that signifies the end of a rocking/reeling/pathetically-mind-blowing phase of our lives...

So simple isn't it, one full stop..one small little dot...and we will never be engineering students again (Subject to results of course..but lets just assume for now we have ALL passed....even if not with flying colours atleast with a little streak of our own). It's so easy to just sit there..stare at that dot...and imagine that your whole life is going to be another blur from now on, just another extension of that small black dot

When we all came into engineering, trust me, none of us had a clue as to what to do. None of us, even the super brainy CET toppers, had any idea of what these 4 years were going to do to us. I mean you just cannot fathom the unfathomable right?

And yet, here we are, 4 years later, looking at another phase of our life where NONE of us has any idea as to what is going to happen. All the cliches of "You never know where life is going to take you" and "Always expect the unexpected" are SOOOOO applicable right now.

I always thought life would be made up of these MILESTONE events you know...like we learned in Project Management(i am SOOO sorry for this one...just could not resist...LOL). Events that would signify the end of some important phase or the achievement of some goal. Well this is both...end of a phase...and the achievement of a goal. And every event has associated with it the Past and the Future.

I do not think i can, or even want to, predict the Future of this event. Whether we will grow apart or closer is for the future to know. I am not interested in it. What i am interested in, is the Past. A past that brought us so many memories, heartbreaks, laughs, friends, enemies(not for me though), embarassments and moments that will probably shape what we are and what we will be.

In the next few posts, i will try to analyse and bring forth some of the moments, circumstances and events that i remember and want to learn from. More focus is going to be ont the people though.

Of course its a pretty obvious thing to do. I am doing this not for emotional or nostalgic purposes, just as a tribute and a thank you to the people who made these 4 years worthwhile.

So look forward to the next few posts, even i am...coz i dont know what and who is going to come out. I hope to explore my psych as i pen these down.

To end, two lines that i will remember forever:

"Past is destiny, Future is freewill"
-Khurshed Batliwala

"I open at the Close"
-Harry Potter 7.
