I am back to blogging after a long time. It has been quite a while since I posted my last article. The daily tiring routine kept me busy but here I am after a long break as I cant stay away from writing for a long time.My topic this time around is the next part of the "Life in DDU" series.
Life in DDU, Nadiad has taught me quite a few lessons.When I took admission in this college and initially college life was boring and more so it was frustrating as it was something completely new. Many times I think that if I had been in some "big town" college unlike nadiad, how different my life would have been ...!! Over the past two years there might not have been a single day when I won't have cursed nadiad. But when I am in a nostalgic or a good state of mind, the thought comes up is what this small town nadiad and this college has taught me is second to none.
The things that nadiad and this college have taught me are priceless. Here when I say things that this college has taught me, I don't refer to "studies" term, I refer to the life learning lessons.Coming to this college has given me the "adjusting" capabilities, meeting totally different people that I might have never imagined meeting such kind of people when I was in my school. Listening to the real time experiences of the people coming from a small city or even a village is something that is heart touching.These things gives you the glimpse of the real world and suddenly you start valuing things more.
Travelling in ST buses or travelling in a local train was only possible once I started coming to this place. When you travel through these modes of transportation, that is when you understand why this is India and why life over here is totally different..!! Suddenly after seeing all those stuff and experiencing a life that is totally far from comfort brings out the mature person which is hiding inside you.After some point of time you feel that this maturity is showing in our decision making process too ..!!We know that now we are more conscious about what we speak in front of people, how we behave, we automatically start adjusting to different people having different mentality. Though by doing this we lose the "innocence" once which we had, but that is something which is inevitable.
I will round up this article by saying that even though we curse our college life, we curse this small town but the amount of their influence in our evolution from kid to "man" is huge. People say maturity come with time but we don't understand is that time alone is not responsible but time and the atmosphere around us during that growing age is of great importance.I still remember when I took admission in this college my dad said to me " these 4 yrs will bring out the man in you and will train you for competing in this competitive world" and now after 2 years I quite understood what he meant.I will conclude it by saying:-
"No matter how much we hate Nadiad and this college but after few yrs we will remember this place and it will go as a chapter in the book of our life as the place where we changed into a more responsible person"
