FOUR YEARS OF HIGHS HANGOVER FOR LIFE

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

These words echo in my mind when the realization that my college life is about to end has dawned on me. The batch of 2K2EC as we all will be remembered is about to say goodbye to the college and go in their own separate direction with each one of us filled with hope and lots of dreams but I know somewhere deep everyone in hurting . There is a sense of loss which we all can feel , a loss of going away from the college we all love, a loss of going away from the friends we made, a loss of the wonderful memories we all have.
From day one life has been an adventure. Coming bit nervous in the first semester with the fear of being raged, doing wiered things in the workshop, then those grilling viva's which we were scared off, and how to forget those amazing ED classes in which how much you think you have made a great sheet, the teacher always thought otherwise. And then those exams and the endless wait for the results.
Then came year two you start feeling as if you belong , new friendships have blossomed by now and you start enjoying the real college life. Those hours in the canteen , bunking classes , and again those viva's but now that fear is gone coz now u know how much you prepare you will never be able to answer most things , then why bother. Then those exams before which you start your mission of collecting notes and you have to make a lot of trips to the girls hostel for that.
By now the life is at it's best no worries, those wonderful time in the hostel, going out with friends, having loads of fun in the class and those really bad jokes which never made you laugh but then those are the memories strange and precious.
And then came the final step those placements after which there was always so much partying , so much joy and some times so much pain. But then this is what we all came for and got so much more , such wonderful friends such amazing moments . We all the batch of 2K2EC have in one way or other given each other such memories that it will always bring smile to each and everyone of our face in times to come . I never say goodbye to anyone but just wana ask

Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?

These are my most treasured memories and as a friend of mine says FOUR YEARS OF HIGHS HANGOVER FOR LIFE.


NOTE: Special thanks to the person who captured this amazing moment and to my friend who let me use his lines as my title.
