May, 2009

As the entire world celebrated the dawn of 2009, a few of us at NITH discussed what lay ahead of us. All of us knew that after 5 months ie after May, everything was going to change. No more CS night outs, no more GDs on the most stupidest topics, no more group chatting with a single girl, no more Annual General Survey ( damn u Sirkek), no more of what we were doing at that very moment (8 guys sitting around a small bonfire behind C block, MMH with PEPSI in their hands), in short, no more of us. The PEPSI exaggerated the pain and later relieved it. We forgot of our last night antics and celebrated our 4 month last sem. Eventually the dreaded month came. During the final exams, there was a chilling silence in the entire hostel. No fear of exams though. It was the horrific thought that only 10 days are left.
The last exam ended. It was time for HHH, Devbhoomi, Shivam to earn a fortune thanks to the sale of PEPSI. That night every eye was wet, every heart cried , every hand wanting to turn back the clock. For the first time, all the optimists who keep telling "Impossible is actually I M Possible" were proven wrong.
As I sat on the green sofa in HHH having our last dinner together, my head fell down. Tears started to flow. No one seemed to notice. I wanted the bloody embarrassing water flow to stop. But they wont. I was leaving for home the next day, 1 day before most of my friends. I always hated shifting to Solan from Shimla. That night the hatred was at its summit.
The next day, when I left, it was but obvious that I dint cry. I had already emptied the tanker last night. During the journey back home, I kept hoping that the future was going to be even better. For some time, this actually happened. I met my friends often, enjoyed each others co and despite the fact that we were not living together anymore, it wasnt that bad.
1 year later. I am in Noida with one of my close friends living with me. Adams is in Gurgaon along with a few other friends. Anshul is going to Mumbai where he hopes to meet karn n saba g and also get a GF (TAMMY). Dukki is joining NIRMA. Lucky going to Varanasi. Kairo(IIFT), Panta g (Pune), Sirka (Jaipur), Luta(I have no idea where that fucker is), Akshay (Nagpur). With an exception of Convocation, I just dont see a time when we will be together again. Am I happy? NO.
