Last few days @ IIT-B campus! I always thought that with this place I had a relationship that is so private for me even though all others here are happy faces because of their romance here too…I believed I had a relationship and with others, it’s just an affair. Leaving IIT should feel like the end of an era..but all it feels like is a Long distance relationship I will maintain for as long as I can, for as long as I can remember..THIS has been my Life!!
I have lived back in IIT with no people around..no friends..no known faces..no events…no competitions…no mess…only my room and some work. And all those times I always figured out that this place is what I know it to be because of all that. Surprisingly enough today they seem like the add-ons to the dish I have relished for Five complete years and never got bored off.
All the friends and family I made in here are of course..Thanks to IIT. But it took me something: an event, a night, course, class, lab, treat or may be PAF to know them…and may be sometimes know them again. I might have had fights with them many a times and in those sad times I used to walk up and down the main lane. When I had some issues to be talked about, it gave me a pathway going right from my hostel down to the IDC and back again from numerous pathways. When I had to think aloud, there was a lakeside for that too…if I dint go there, my eyes could always…my room gives me a view to it…but for me it was always a still picture ‘cause from here nothing changed…all is green, just the seasons change…It’s a perfect flora to sustain this fauna, US.
I have a Life to live ahead but it feels like I have lived a lifetime here, and a good one. Though IIT will never be complete without the add-ons…but this will always be the place I want to come again to, the place I cherished..relished…smiled…and ya, Loved!
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
It may be just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take it away
Music: Dream on

man! .... now thats awesome for a 1st blog entry !! me thinking of discussing several issue with ya for ur blog ;) ... waise awesome 1st comment too na !
The autorickshaw thing has been my exp too - just getting inside the main gate - gives a lot of relief - I know that home has arrived. ( This may probably be due to the 2 deg temp drop - but ya its there ).
Haven't been to lakeside much - would like to come and sit there for a long time-
But, finally, you should realise - it's time to move on. Leaving a bit of you here or taking a bit of it away with you is only going to cause pain. Dear Sis, life at IIT has ended - you are gonna enter a new world now - completely different. Be prepared! :)
just came across this one..it made me really nostalgic! calling IIT as my second home will be an understatement..its been like the other world, a whole other life!
@rathi: you will like posts only where you can relate to..be a lil abstract :P
@musketeer: sit at lake side and shack in evening...the best! and me moving on..well you pretty much know everything abt it...we went house hunting today :)
@mezi: first am glad...ppl chk my blog :)n you are right..even the word home does not give a complete picture and i get nostalgic everytime i read this post myself!
Even with one year left in this place, I can't stop thinking about how much I'll miss it when I'll have to leave! :(
This place grows upon you, with its eternal smile during summers, it's freshness and energy during those heavy rains, and its friendly chill during the winters...
@alok: Dont miss it now..you can really have that kinda time a year later! Anjoy more of it than you already have..if you a DD then you can enjoy more...and you are right abt the righteous seasons :)
