Last Post from AH3-260

The corridors are empty, most of my friends have left( in fact there are just 4-5 people left on my floor of 62 rooms..) , some to come back next sem, others forever..and all of them have taken with them memories of this place..both good and bad...
...the years of friends and friendship, of fights and make ups, of ups and downs, of trust and brotherhood, years of cracking meaningless PJ's and still eliciting laughter from the audience( read like minded pagal log :) )..of exploring Goa, exploring the world of electronics (and electrical too :P) and ending up an IT job...


With regards to Academics in general and EEE in particular, the words that sum it up-

Been there, done that, can't remember most of it...

Learning everything from Biology to Report writing, from Advertisement and Sales to Analog and Digital Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit design (pheew) BITS ne sab kuchh sikhaya...

I will miss cribbing about mess food, complaining about the light and water problems that came up, especially the times when during exams A-wing plunged into darkness and electricity was there in C-wing..ohh those shouts of "Maaro Govil ko" ( our mess rep- kuchh khana nahi sudhar paaya) to "itna mat padhon saalon...mar jaoge padh padh ke"( during exams to "PHODU" ( which became the first name of half my hostel mates thanks to me) and how the hell I forgot HACs which we had coined in our first over dinner one night.I will miss sitting in Angad's room or Vishal's room at night trying to prepare for next day's exam, the tension at 8:50 AM for a 9:00 AM paper and the relief and the feeling "ki bas ho gaya paper.." at 10:00 AM...well life used to stand still during those 3 days of T1 and T2...

I will miss sitting in CSD in mornings with Vishrut, Gill, Vishal, Choos, Pantar and Chillu, will miss the BITSAA PR work, working on everything from BITS Website to Glimpses '06 to Melange '04, those deadlines and the work put into getting the work done..

i will miss spending time sitting at Mongi, juice corner or even the b-dome....hell i will even miss the dinner time discussions, which even made the bad AATISH food bearable. I will miss those movie sessions in Gill's room, the nightouts with Gill and Nimit playing CS in his room, the nighout before the exams and those nightouts at end sem, just being awake to wish everyone a goodbye before they left at all odd times ( arre bhai yeh low cost carriers ko subah 5:30 ka time hi milta hai re..). And to think the time for the final goodbye will come so soon...

And who can forget the treat about everything, those Birthday parties at Bogmalo, the cake, the birthday bumps and the awesome celebrations in the hostels..it used to really make us forget the last 18 birthdays we had celebrated at home, and the fact that we were away from home..

The Zephyr and Waves and Quark, which used to be events to showcase our talents onstage and off-stage, winning the hearts of the crowd and taking panga with other hostels and colleges..I will also neve forget the awesome AH3 dance-I like to move it that made the crowds go wild... :)

I will not forget the elections and the drama associated with it, 7 candidates for a post, the audi debate, the results in the audi, those fates hanging in balance..( bas ek wish poori nahi ho paayi-watching "None of these" win, lets hope yeh feat bhi manage ho jayegi Goa mein...)

This is the last post I'll ever write from my room AH3, 260 BITS Pilani Goa Campus..and no matter how much I cribbed about everything under the sun..the fact is "I am still gonna miss it..."

And no matter how everyone tells me that its still gonna be the same...deep down I know...it never will be...


I'll end with the true feelings that sum it up..

The pain of missing friends isn't their absence but...its when you think of the times you have shared and ask '..will those ever happen again...'and your mind silently says "NEVER"
