Amazing....
Sitting idle here in my hostel room, I was wondering how good it is to be a student again.... just rewinding my days here in the campus and images amaze me, what I have been doing, what I have been facing, what I have been witnessing..... amazing...
seeing faces of young people every morning, brimming with hope of a bright career, dull with anticipation of another boring lecture... putting endless hours for doing assignments, study and still able to squeeze out every single second to enjoy and do any thing else than the academics... to explore, to feel.... the life... amazing...
If I start recounting my experience here, I think I can write a book, but then people have already done that so there is nothing new in that.... batches after batches go through the same process every year... Sometimes the college appears to me like a furnace.... when cold metal goes in, it has to go through immense heat.... immense torture... this can be seen as the rigor we have to go through... but then when the metal comes out, its more shiny, more beautiful and more strong.... amazing...
Today only, due to some thing which is going on in our section, everyone is so excited... at times I feel what childish things we are doing... but then isn't every single one of us want to be a child again.... and thats the beauty of this place... You live a whole life here... you feel great, you feel worse, you make friends, you enjoy with them, you do things you cant even think that you could do something that foolish or you would do something even professors would get amazed... you laugh and you would always have 32 grinning teeth giving you a company, you cry and you would always have a shoulder to cry on, you fall and you will always have two hands to hold you... all at the same place.... amazing...
and most of all, you would always get someone to talk with on different things you want to talk about... you want to talk crap, you would get one, you want to be little philosophical and you would get people who could beat Socrates, just few centuries advanced, you want to listen ghazals, you would get the whole collection, or may be you are rock n roll fan and whoa, you never knew, 'this guy' was living Elvis Presley.... amazing...
It surprises me, how just being a student can change you so much about how you look at life again.... doesn't matter at what stage of life you are.... amazing... isn't it?
