Life in DDU,Nadiad Part - III, Those 5 hours

Hey Friends,

                        It has been a long time since my last blog post and how did I miss writing on my favorite medium! Anyways the time from the last blog to this has been a time of ups and downs. College life has started again as usual with the same boring schedule, same old labs, same boring lectures and last but the most important the same fun with all the friends.

The college reopened and the feeling I got was I am in 5^th semester now. I had a thought that these are the last 3 semesters of my college life and that just vanished the smile on my face. After which my mind recalled an incident. This was during the making of the convocation special issue of DDU Connect and we the team were the very lucky few to attend the convocation. At that time I didn’t actually understood the true value of the function but at this moment I could figure it out why my seniors were so happy yet so sad!

One day or to be precise 5 to 6 hrs that is what you get on the convocation day to say goodbye. Good bye to all the friends to the memories, a final glance and good bye to your crush, a final good bye to the place which have turned us to a respectable citizen of our country. The pain is that DDU is such an university where we meet people belonging to all the parts of our state and not a particular city. That is the day when you realize that this is probably the last time you are meeting all the friends you made! Ofcourse “friends forever” and “we will stay in touch” are just phrases which will limit to only a group of people but not your batch mates not your class mates. One day is all what we get to bid the final good byes to the place which we hated as the schedules were too hectic but at the last day this is the place we will love the most!

One fine Friday I went to Rajhans cinema (in the 5^th semester) with my very good friend Anish Desai (Courtesy DDU Connect for our friendship ;) ) and that day evening I again went to the same place with my group (read UCF) and the first thing I had in my mind was this is the place I used to visit every 3 days in my 1^st year and I have not been here since one full year. That was the day I made up mind that  lets make these 3 semester the most memorable days of our lives. I don’t want to regret on the last day that I didn’t do many things just because I was worried about scoring CPI’s and at the end scored the same which other people scored but they enjoyed their college life more than what I did. This will be probably our last “Claro”, last “Nakshatra” and most importantly last year of DDU Connect. Let us just make this the most memorable 1 and half years of our life because right after this that greedy world is waiting for us so it can eat us up.

I know this blog post is not the way I write it is somewhat school boy stuff but this was something I had to write. The only reason is may be we few people had the opportunity to see what happens on the last day, one day is what you get to bid final good byes to almost 600 people. Let us just enjoy this last bit of freedom!

“Kaab milenge na jaane hum yaaro firse sabhi,

lautkar aabna aaenge who masti bhare din kabhi….”

On a Lonely Sunday Evening ..

(Before you start reading this blogpost, I would like to request everyone of you that if possible you turn on your favorite (soothing) music in the background to get the feel of it..:) )

Hey friends,

                        I am back again blogging. Writing a blog is something I will never ever stop writing because there are very few infact very few things in life which you just love to do and which defines you, for me it is writing a blog. My life has just changed after I started doing this small piece of what I call “the work which is really close to my heart”. The current topic just struck me while driving a two wheeler and I knew I simply had to write it.

Sunday, it is that day of the week when you just want to take rest and relax but once the clock strikes the 6 o’clock mark you just want to go out of the house and enjoy. I had similar plans on 26^th of june that I will go out somewhere or invite some of my friends to my place and have fun. But as people say that the script of your life has already been written in the heavens, I felt the same that day. No plans, nothing what so ever spending a Sunday evening lonely, sounds depressing right..?? Sometimes the obvious things are not obvious.

God had plans not to make it depressing, with the superb windy condition outside, I decided to just take a ride on my two wheeler with some of my favorite music playing in my ears, it was nothing but icing on the cake. What I found out was, sometimes life doesn’t go as you expected .Obvious things don’t  happen but the things happen they happen always for good. I thought it will turn out to be one of those boring Sunday lonely evenings for me but it wasn’t to be. I sat in my balcony gulping down some of my favorite food and watched a movie which was something what I always used to do in my 12^th std. Apart from that  what this so called lonely Sunday evening gave me was some valuable time to spend on myself in this beautiful atmosphere. We often believe spending quality time with friends/family/loved ones is the best part of life, is it ..?? Try spending some of the quality time with yourself you would probably be in a better position to answer .…J

Glancing out of the balcony with the wind ruffling my hair just made me realize this was the same thing I used to do every Sunday 2 yrs back but how much life has changed now. Yes, we have often read the quote “Past is not a good place to live” but what if we re-live those happy moments and scratch our head and say shit man I was just so damn stupid. The feeling of laughing on ourselves is something really different and amazing.  These kind of evenings don’t come often but when they come they make you realize your worth because at the end of the day no one will come and help you, no one will fight for you, it is you who will fight the world and when you come out as a winner that is when you will understand the value of such evenings. Without sounding like a drunk fellow, I would like to end my blog on these lines which I updated as my status on facebook on that very day ..

"During these windy conditions, when a magical atmosphere seems to be around u, and suddenly u start liking each and every song in ur playlist while riding a two wheeler and u start singing in happiness and everything seems to be happy and merry and u feel that this feeling is really something magical ...:) :) "

With Love & Regards,
