Last few days of coll life!!!

Another 40 days to complete something that I started 4 long years back. Lots of memories, lots of friends to leave behind whom I might never see again. But anyways got to move on with life. And these four years were definitely not so much fun as my 11^th n 12^th. Actually can’t compare the two. Both had their own pros and cons.

A very busy two weeks is awaiting ahead. Got my project presentation on the 3^rd, don’t have much clue bout what’s to be done in my project. Two leisurely trips to Bellary with total VIP treatment everywhere and that was all we did. Oh not to forget the hundreds of snaps for my orkut album and the visit to hampi too. Though with the temperature there, all you had to do is just break an egg and you had an omelet ready.

Returned from Bellary few days back and now sit in library everyday in college to complete our report and ppt thanks to the numerous power cuts at home. Hope we could do something about it as electrical engineers. But frankly speaking I even struggle to change a fused bulb at home. So generating electricity is far-fetched.

Then on the next day of the presentation, have the official farewell bestowed upon us by our dear juniors. I am so sure 75% of my classmates won’t even know a single junior of ours. But rules are rules. We gave our seniors a farewell so should they. We had it in seminar hall, so should they. We gave our seniors some dumb looking memento, so should they. Don’t really understand why these lecturers take all the decisions on behalf of the students. Sometimes feel like confronting them with this question, but then feel it’s all anyways coming to an end. So let it have a happy ending. Hehe…

Hoping that the so called farewell is well handled n executed without any untoward incident and hope we atleast have a little bit of fun. But it’s always better to keep your expectations low on such things.

The very next evening is lini thambi’s brother’s wedding reception. Even though none of us have ever met him or anyone from her family other than her, we decided we’ll go ahead and attend the function since we have no other work to do n it might be our last public appearance as a class at a location outside campus. but as usual lots of differences in opinion n uncalled for problems have errupted in the build up to the event. hehe.. not surprising though since my dear classmates are well known for this.

So that leaves me with Sunday the one day when I gotta slog like hell. Reason Monday Tuesday internals n I don’t even have an average of even close to 15 in any of the subjects. But what ever the case, football always comes to me ahead of studies. So will have to finish a practice session in BEML ground in the morning n then think of studying.

9^th of May is the RV tournament. Me already having taken retirement from college football should not be talking about all this now. But what made me talk of all this was a simple session of football with the new formed team. They looked pathetic on the field. They’ve always been pathetic off the field with countless problems surfacing in their very 1^st tournament together. The very idea of me, making a new look team now never looked to make any sense to me only. There was so much of politics and spats on the field, even just when they were having practice sessions. We all had put an end to all our careers just hoping that our juniors will benefit from this. But they seem to be going from bad to worse. So I just felt the sacrifice I made was not worth it. So in a matter of haste messaged all the old team guys who were all eager to play one last tournament and asked them for their opinion. The response I got made me believe that each one of the so called" old men" had more fire in their belly to perform now than 2 years ago. But hope their legs don’t let them down in their quest for ultimate glory. A fitting finale indeed for so many illustrious careers.

May the 10^th is supposed to be the graduation day. Hmmmm. It does mean a lot to all those who have managed to complete their engineering in these 4 years which they never thought would. It didn’t come as a surprise though when we got the information that there was a dress code. After all, it was CMRIT. What more can one expect. White shirt, black pant. Perfect costume for a waiter in a hotel. Coupled with the robe and the hat, sure will look funny on most of us. I need to steal a digi cam from some1 quickly. All these moments surely will be unforgettable. Hehe...

The next two days happen to be our college fest. Not sure if I’ll be able to make it. It sort of sucked big time last time around. Hope its not the same this time too. But definitely would love to see prince indulge in a fist fight jus like Mr. Sudharshan Reddy last time. Sure my digi cam will come in handy once more. Another of the unforgettables.

Ten or so more days to prepare after that. And the 62^nd, 63^rd, 64^th and 65^th exams of my engineering life will follow. Mostly will manage just clearing those also just like how I’ve done with the other 61. Just hoping i do it in the very 1st attempt unlike few of the other subjects.

Tasted white rum for the first time on hemant’s terrace and actually liked it. Tasted something like vodka. It took all of us to a different world altogether. Amidst the stars and lost in memories. Memories of the last 17 years of friendship. Hmmmm. Some friendships last long, really long. And every moment spent with these people will be cherished for a life time.
