Back Again.....

Yup, Thats the Road

Got back on campus from Jamshedpur yesterday. Decided to catch the early morning bus 6 o' clock bus to Ranchi.

The roads have,sadly, gotten worse with the oncoming rains, and the bus driver was in his I-feel-like-Schumaker-today mode, which meant i was hanging onto my seat handle while he drove at blitzy 60 kmph (mind you, thats a bus i am talking about). And before you scoff at that, do understand the fact that the roads are narrow, bumpy, and in the rains, extremely and treacherously unpredictable....,Hell, I have seen so many accidents on the turns out here I have lost count.

But thats not what this post is about. What I really want u ppl to kno is that, though the road had deteriorated from what it was a couple of years ago, the early-morning, slightly-drizzling beauty of this road is breathtaking. Scroll up to the pics below, and trust me when I say, they dont do any justice to the glory of the hills the road wades through.

One of the rare times in my life when i have had absolutely no regrets about waking up at five in the morning....... ahh nature...

Ahhhh...... Nostalgia !!

So its been almost five days now since i have been off my campus..And guess what, am kinda missing it...

Dont get me wrong, I love being home. Moms food....ahhhhhhhAnd I am having a great time catching up wid friends....

But a sublime part of me yearns for my college campus too.... the hostel lobby, the fun bakar session every night wid friends, some of the absolutely pathetic PJs cracked by some special friends, and of course, that special some one....

A week back we had the convocation ceremony for the 2k2 batch.....And i can feel wht it must be like, the euphoria of meetin up old friends and batch mates, coupled with the bitter sweet memories of the place that, in a way, having taken your degree, you are finally completely leaving.

All the while, when having passed out, and slogging at your jobs, you still had that one thing to look forward too...
Now thats done too..
How do people handle it??? How do I leave a place that has become my home away from home, and in a way on par wid my own home sweet home???

Questions, questions, questions......Thats the way life makes you learn. It gives you the exams first, and the lesson afterwards, right??

Well, still a year on campus, and I'll hope to cram every second of this year with beautiful memories sweet enough to last me a lifetime...

And to all my seniors, who left the campus this year, we'll miss you, as you'll in your own ways miss the campus, and us. Coz your imprints will stay with us as memories....

Right from gettin ragged the first day on campus, to helping us out with the placements till the end... Thanks to you all.
