a proud bitsian

it’s been over  two years since I’ve entered the place that, i never expected would be my alma matter, the birla institute of technology and science -pilani, goa campus. It might be a little long, but it still takes me not more than a moment to remember the fresh breeze that blew past my face when i entered the beautiful campus. I’ve never expected the rather tiresome 20 hr journey to end in such a beautiful surprise. being a pessimist, the first thought that came into my mind was “ohh..i’ve to leave this campus in just a five years???”, i dint know how in life can i leave this heaven. The picturesque view of the lush green campus surrounded by the beautiful zuari river left me on cloud 9. That being the first time i was ever into a professional institute left my innocent face looking round for a warm shelter of friendship. The B wing plaza, joined by the central administrative building is one of the complex structures I’ve ever seen (I still get lost at times). Our bus stopped in front of the B wing after which the formalities of registration went on for a couple of hours. I then landed in my room  . Awesome ..whatever i need in a small but complete package..internet, decent furnishing..everything was good. That evening as dad was to leave the next day, we planned to spend some time outside. the weather being rainy, we canceled the idea and this decision left me with one of the most memorable incidents in my bitsian life..i saw someone really special . A sense of de ja vu in me. Nothing more about this here 

the first evening was so special, so was the first night at the campus. I was amazed to find almost twenty of my school friends at the college. The next day i bid dad good bye early before dawn and started exploring my campus (yeah..i did have a sense of possession starting then ). mahendar.. one of my first friends at the campus  had as much enthu as me, n so were busy meeting all our friends. Days passed on like the cool breeze that swept me when i entered the campus. Its been over two years now and my favourite place has taught me many things in life..joy, sorrow, victory, team work and the most important of all, it instilled a self confidence in me. Whenever i look down the two years of my bitsian life, i wonder “is this me ? “ who has transformed from an innocent introvert to someone who can go speak against something he thinks is wrong.
