I am a sophomore from BITS Pilani presently pursuing my B.Tech in Electrical n Electronics Engg..Today on my 20th birthday, when I ponder over my bygone days, I reckon it to be an awesome tumultuous journey from Assam to Rajasthan.Life is facetious and I have always looked upon it with rosy eyes.Why take life seriously when noone is going out alive??????
Ruminating over my chidhood events,I feel I was a docile chid complying to the wishes of my parents(maybe sometimes at the fear of the rod).I was full of ebullience and loved playing games.My parents inculcated good habits in me and a spirit of fair competition.They were always elated at my success and eloquently inspired me to move on in case of any failure.Its bringing sparks of joy ot their faces that drives me the most to overcome any hurdles.Although my mom's reluctance to allow me to go out sometimes and her stance about me not getting too friendly with girls( till class 10) though irritated me then,now I realize that her anxieties and concerns were just a different form of expressing love.And my sweet little sister was always there searching for my flaws and foibles and reporting them to the higher authority(my parents).
I am an affable person and always love playing games and hanging out with friends.Though I won't go to the extent of saying I am altruistic, the plight of my friends/an unknown brethen do move me.My college life in class 11 and 12 was the most enjoyable as I became a free bird breaking the shackles of a rigorous school life. Freedom brings responsibility and I am glad that I performed decently in academics but honestly speaking( not intended to show modesty ) I reckon it to be a fortuituous happening.
Then the most defining moment of my life was my moving to BITS Pilani.I initially was a bit reticent and skeptic about how i can survive in an environment where talents flock in myriads.Two years have gone and I feel I am surviving well in the midst of tests and assignments that test your resilience and guts.But what I love here most is my friends.We(me,sag,sam,ali,raja,abhi,venky....) are a close knitted family in a home away from home.Our chit-chats on love, girls and future plans make this a fun-filled paridisal environment.
nice blog... encapsulating ur entire story and portraying it beautifully thru it..
ReplyDeletebut i have a small issue with ur last paragraph. let it me put it straight to u anupjyoti.. i dont know whether u consider me a friend or not, but I DO. and it hurts man, it really hurts to not see my name there in ur post.. :( hey i thought even i was a part of ur "close knitted family in this home away from home" tell me anup what i can do to be a part of ur "chit-chats" (i'd so love to), which u all keep having on a very regular basis, since u have so much spare time left after endless hours of serious studying.
i feel so down now.. i feel like i'm going down the same dark abyss of depression i once was in before i met you, all over again...
