Walkin down the memory lane


And this was something i wrote after i finished my final year exams.....


Yesterday I wrote my last ever exam and today realization dawns upon me that I have completed 15 years of……writing exams. PHEW!! What a transformation! From getting those golden stars in primary to getting 90% in Intermediate to hoping to pass in Income Tax
But above all this, there is a bigger thought eating up my head – no more bunking, no more standing outside the gate for coming late, no more fests and no more attendance issues – NO MORE COLLEGE
There is no way one will get over the fun times we had at college. Life spent at college was one big party lasting for 3 years.
Clearing the B Com (Honours) entrance was my first milestone at college (sounds fancy? Only we know how fancy it is). I was late for the first day of college – a tradition followed for the next three years. The rest of the first year was a matter of two Venu’s – entertainment in Venugopal Sir’s class and getting thrown out of Venumadhav Sir’s. Canteen Manchuria became the staple food and cricket at the end of a long day was the routine (Now wondering if those days were all that long)
Fast forward to the second year and there was fierce competition among the lecturers as to who was more irritating – shudh Hindi wali BFS or the lunch break stealing brinjal head or the ever irritating pig mouth or the yawn inducing HOD (can’t believe I let out a yawn while writing this too). Cricket was replaced by football and fun outside class was replaced by fun in FIT class (awww…I so miss her). We won Prerana but that didn’t address our attendance issues and we visited the staff room more often than we visited class.
The third year passed in the blink of an eye. More than half of the year was spent at home and the remaining half was spent in preparing a project and dressing up in formals to attend campus placements. Cricket and football was replaced by shouts of “Jai Telengana”. Exams always seemed far away and when they came, they threatened to never finish, thus making the past fifteen days longer than the whole of my fifteen years.
There was a time that I hoped that college would finish faster than it should but now I wish it lasted a few more years.
