The Graduate.

Today that is May 31,2007 as of 1700 hours, the moment i handed in my paper I graduated from college. Not in the technical sense though. Today my final VIII semester exams got over and with it the curtain fell on my college life.

Four years i lived the life of a care-free college student. The four years that i can't even properly remember today, how will i remember it 10-20yrs down the line. It is as though i sleepwalked through it.

Lets see the statistics...
Taking on an average 6 subjects each semester, that comes out to 48 theory subjects. 48 practicals,16 sessionals, 16 practical examinations( internal+external), 8 semester exams.
I av survived all this. But right now if u ask me am i any wiser than i was when i stepped into college. I dnt know.

Don't ask about studies. As far as that part is concerned i am still surviving with the basics i learnt in in school. College just fine-tuned it a bit. What i learned was more important. College made me face the stark realities of life... about friendship, about priorities, whom to care for and whom not.. taught me when to keep shut. More importantly to keep shut.It taught me..it doesnt matter how intelligent you are, how much know... what matters is how you present stuff and yourself in front of others. It taught me how people can sweet-talk when they need you... and they forget you the moment the work is done... it taught me never to go on looks..looks can be deceptive...the most harmless looking of creatures may just deliver the killing sting. It taught me to be involved yet be detached.. to love but let go... it introduced me to the most amazing bunch of people i av ever met...(you know who u are;) )

i had my share of fun, laughs,tears...
heartbreak, fights, bunks....
trips, gossips and fests...
parties which made everything seem best.

In all it is difficult to sum up four years in abstract. Next i'll go year wise. like the say...

...to be contd.
