It's senti time at IIMA!
Palz....bucklin'up.... to make n endeavour into the "real world"
Ahh....nostalgia....that's what's coming in now.
Shrouding my days n nites n telling me....."they're going to go". Away into the world of their own, where i'll probably even forget half their faces and 3/4th of their names.
Huh....so that's life....."move ahead" they say! Ahead? Well yeah.....that I would, but....why does this painful string of severance come in so often?
It started back in '96, after ICSE, when all of us....after 12 beautiful n chirpy years of togetherness, felt the fangs of this painful string, cutting us off our sweet ties. "we'd keep in touch....letters, emails.....we promised, never willing to believe....that not seeing each other everyday....would make a difference. Yeah we're still in touch....Dubai, New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, n Ahmedabad.....that's how we're spread....me n my best pals from school. N we've lost track of one of us....the sweet girl, who got me a flower everyday :) n I, oh so enjoyed the pampering!
1998....College days....came up..with a new color of 'freedom', n we spent 3 years, planning for the future n studying hard....to reach those golden skies of our dreams. Sharing tiffins, bunking the boring sessions of some profs ;p
....n running off to the theatres, peek-a-boo.....Anaconda, Titanic, Men in Black :)
Well..My best pal from college is in Singapore now, married...n yeah "busy" :(
"Busy" is what I was too...when she was getting married, n I wasn't there by her...when she was throwing in tantrums just to convince me into being there during the ceremony. Assignments & End terms.....how could I ever be there? Promises, that I might have made, took the rear seat, n I didn't join her. I'm sorry Rosy....I love u!
2001....University of Burdwan..7 pals....clinging together! I miss them all....I miss those pamperings....I miss those fleeting hours by the 'jheel' (lake) by the canteen! When after those two years of togetherness, the fangs of separation were digging in again.... making our hearts bleed..like never before, we supported each other n said...."we'll keep in touch". Yeah...in touch..we are....never seeing each other.....can't make time, out of our "busy" schedules, for getting together....to chat as we used to - to be there, just to be together! Mumbai, Kolkata, Durgapur, Asansol, Israel, Ranchi, Ahmedabad.....is how we got spread this time.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sad.....two years ain't a long time, to get clingy with pals, that's what Sheru says.... n "sob, sob" he goes....
We have a senti NB.... to let out the gushes of our emotions, during the testing times of separation, which pop up, oh so often!
FPM: Am I luckier than my PGP peers, for being able to stay here for more than just 2 years, or is it otherwise; 'coz I'll watch them fleet-off..n be here....feeling the fangs more than I could bear? Well....I'll let time do the trick....n yeah..I'll be an optimist again ~ promising and believing , once again, that we'd be in touch!
