5 done and counting

3-1 goes into my life’s album as something very very memorable and i have a host of reasons –new friends, involving courses, farewell and the most important of all – that which changed my outlook to life .

After a paltry fourth semester, I vowed to be sensible in my division of time for academics and else. To be satisfied with what you’re doing..its very important you love it. ..and the most important part is to develop a keen interest in what you are doing and its only then, you’ll be able to love it. It took me quite sometime to realize this and half my semester was over by then. It was the way my preparation for  comprehensives shaped out, that really interested me (though I never felt the change while implementing it )…do not over strain yourselves preparing whole of the course, what’s more important is how much you have learned from whatever you’ve read (be it little …its no mistake) .. i have a feeling that knowing something is pointless unless you can apply it in life. Be confident on your opinions and ideas but see that you have space for others’ view as well. This change in my mindset… owe it to my alma matter..the wonderful place that taught me so much. From being a pessimist, who never even read the questions in an examination paper  fearing that something he doesn’t know ahead would take away his confidence to someone who tries to link that up with what’s around him when sitting idle in that very exam hall … there has been a tremendous change ….and no one can better explain it than me in person. One important notion that became inherent in my thought process was ‘think only of what you are doing now and not its result.. Added to this i had a couple of involving courses after a long while .. making it more enjoyable. The minors were ‘okay’ish but the comprehensives imbibed a sense of confidence in me as they progressed and that was something i always wished had happened to me .   

Complementing the serious part..i made some really wonderful friends, who actually showed the missing spice of my life.  As it was the beginning of the last year with a lot of friends and quite a few really lovely seniors…thought to make the most of it. I joined my friends more frequently in their errands to Vasco – the closest place to the campus for some good food and fun. But, the best evening till date while at school was our  farewell bidding to a few truly supportive seniors. An amazing evening..about 15 of us went to Pentagon – a restaurant kinda thing near some beach (the name of which i don’t remember ). Tasted all kinda possible vegetarian …n i truly loved it ..i still remember those yummy cheese balls and single spoon trials . That evening reminded me there’s only an year more  for most of us at the campus to graduate and days seemed to pass at supersonic speeds. ..and that is all i remember about the memorable last day of sem 5.

My journey back home started at dawn the next day. I had more fun this time than ever even while travelling….i somehow enjoyed the  five hour pause at Guntakal unlike before ..thanks to sindhu and co who stopped me from being idle. Reached Hyderabad early in the morning …there was a big grin, from deep inside my heart for it had cached more memories for the future in these six months than all those before… put together.
