Certified Engineer!!!

I've kind of lost my writing ability but this post has to be written as an ode to the awesome time i spent last week....(its good that i m using my laptop........i dont know how many more trees wud've been cut if i had used paper........d 1st line took me 10 min to start.....aage kya hoga!!.....hope its worth the effort).

Last week was awesome.......no other word to describe it. Taking d 5:30 morning flight to reaching my beloved alma mater.....my BIT. There’s so much to write about that I am getting really confused where to start from. Right from the time our flight touched down at Ranchi.....it was like walking down the memory lane and simultaneously updating it.....noting down every minor detail. Arrey......yahan Big Bazzar khul gaya!!.......yeh road toh waisi hi hai......etc etc. And then BIT.......not the slightest change......OC road bilkul waisa hi.......nd sharma ji ka samosa still the best samosa i've ever had.....admin ne waise hi pareshaan kiya....yeh form wahan bharo.....ye application likho etc etc.

But the best part was meeting all ur friends after a gap of 1 whole year at the same place where u had left them. And its amazing to see dat the distance or time dint change the warmth of friendship (i pray it never does so). U have the same feeling of comfort nd cosiness in their company. After the initial celebration u start noting down the changes....arrey tum to bilkul nahi badle…..tune to thoda weight gain kiya hai etc etc. But one thing was common among all of us.......sabne weight gain kiya tha...the only difference was in the scale. BIT used to keep us fit ;) .

We also got to stay in the hostel. All 5 of us....the ‘gal gang’ as one of my friends has put it, had occupied 2 adjacent rooms and had made one room as the bedroom, the other room was used as the dressing room and it was a total chaos…all things littered here and thr…but dats how its meant to be in any kind of fiesta. And I’ve got to mention my gang here……pallavi- d phone wali, par is baar phone pe bahut kam thi aur pehle se kaafi shaant ho gayi hai…….anu- d nautanki, ek no ki naatakbaaz, bilkul pehle jaisi bas pehle se bhi jyada cute ho gayi hai……dipsy- d gizmo gal, this time she was all excited for her new ‘Vaio’ she’s going to purchase……..nd vani- my roomy for 4 years, d most caring nd lovable person I’ve ever met in my life, nd this time also she was taking care of me….nd d last person……urs truly……nd many ppl said I’ve become a total mumbaiya…..aamchi Mumbai!!!

And then the convocation day. We all got up early to enjoy the BIT morning, walk on the OC road nd have sharmaji ka samosa…..we never seem to have enuf of those. And then the convo……..all dressed in those over-sized gowns but still looking good. We all looked as witches and wizards straight from the Harry Potter movies. After waiting patiently for 2hrs and braving all the heat ( we’ve got so used to ac…..hehehe) we finally got our degrees and ‘We’ became certified engineers!!.

And then it stuck us.... it was once again time to say goodbye……..next time pata nahi kab milenge…but till then….let the bond of friendship be strong and let it stand the test of time and be priceless…….though its clichéd, but this is the only thing which comes to my mind now…… keep in touch guys and don’t forget me!!
