Dating 16 Years..!!!

10th April ’09: Today I took a day off from the college and didn’t go. The last 2 months were extremely hectic due to the college. We had to go everyday else were fined monetarily. So, today I got ill, to have a holiday and rest. All my life I have never been so regular for 2 months, without taking a day off.
I got up at 7 am, because of everyday’s habit of going college, when we have to rush out latest by 8am. Then realizing that I am not going college today I again slept at 8. After that I got up 11. Hmm… pretty long time since I have had such a nice and sound sleep.
I got up, pinched myself; Yeah.. I really was in my bed away from the college. Holy Heavens, I was so happy.
Then, I did all the stuffs including the breakfast till 12 noon.
After that I sat wondering what to do? Had nothing to do. So, I got up and cleaned my study table and scheduled my studies as our finals start from 5th May.
Then, I lied down planning what to do next.
I was planning my schedule and then I noticed that only a little of college life is left.
The time to transit from the student age to a grown up has arrived.
I recall my days when we had to leave our school life and enter into the college phase. I was so sad, then. But there was an assurance that we shall all meet at least every 2 or 3 months when we go home in our holidays. But, now the conditions are different.
I recall all those days with Rohit, Prashant, Pankaj, Harsh, Anshul, Saksham, Priyank, Ankit, Siddharth, Sanyam, Gaurav, Nikhil, Gurkeerat, Anant, Shubham, Naveen and a hell lot of others. The entire nuisance that we used to make, all the fun that we had during our school time. But then we all separated.
But we continued our bond in the time when we went home in our vacations every 2-3 months. We talked on phone and did everything. The time during the college was also soothing. We met every couple of months and did all fun. Even more that what we did during school days. We were easy in touch and continued our bondage well.
It was a lot easy for me to bunk my college for a couple of days and board a bus to Lucknow to meet Rohit.
It was too easy to extend my vacations just to hang out with Pankaj or Prashant for a few more days in Saharanpur.
I miss our long long drives till the notch of Dehradun in the evening with Saksham.
I miss the late night treats at Chandralok and Meridian by Shishir Bhaiya that Gurkeerat and I always forced Bhaiya for.
I miss going to Hot-Breads with Nikhil every day after our P.K.Bansal Sir’s classes.
The long long walks with Anant into the deep down unexplored areas of Taharpur.
I miss my trip to the river-side by the canal with Pankaj and the photo-sessions that we had there. The trips to Chuneti to our school in the night having a packet of Chips with Anshul, Siddhharth & Pankaj.
I miss the Bluff sessions at Harsh’s place.
I miss the strolling with Priyank in Mission Compound.
The late night walks with Sidhharth through out the roads of Avas Vikas.
I miss the time that I spent at Rohit’s place all day long discussing about our Important Stuffs.
But now the big transition phase has arrived.
Our B.Tech is ending. We shall go to different parts of the country or may be the globe. No one knows the destiny of any one. We shall be physically parted away. Now, we won’t be able to meet as frequently as we have done uptil now.
After we all start our respective jobs or post-graduations, it might turn into years or a little more or less to see each other.
In the evening I was talking with a batch mate and we were discussing the ending college days. The other person was too sad that I myself went into a deep thinking.
Well, I don’t have any attachments with my college nor do I have any one great whom I would miss. But, I am thinking about all my dear friends since my school days, who have always stood by me in all the ups and downs of the life uptil now.
I never really had thought that a stage would come that I would be missing my friends so terribly. But this was my mental situation today. I kept thinking this all day long and am still in state of dilemma about this.
Our such loving days spent with friends will never return. Gone are those wonderful days. Gone with the Wind. But we will always cherish those amazing days in our souls.
