So much happened in the last 15 days or so and now I am sitting mostly idle, justcounting the days. As the endsems ended, there was the IPL match we went to see at Cal, the Grand Viva, the BTP thesis and its presentation. But now that everything is over, I am sitting idle after quite a long long time. Just waiting for the 25th when I embark on my first visit to the States.
The goodbye season has already started. The 5th years and the B.Techs of my batch are waiting just for their dues to be cleared. Mostly all will be leaving by the 21st or 22nd. Definitely the “end of an era”. It seems just yesterday when in 2nd year, our batch of 61 used to sit together in the Common room meetings and when we knew everything about each other in a span of less than a week. Things have definitely moved on a long way. A lot of events and incidents have took place in the course of last three years. People have adhered more to their wings. The feelings of “Hall Tempo” and “unity” have somewhat eroded with time, but that is only expected. Still, friends are for forever and they will be. Hope to see all of them back together at some reunion some day!
The 5th year at Kgp is expected to be hectic one again with the pressures of Job and GRE. But with the pressure of “Hall” not there, I will be more of a relieved man this year. But I will give my best towards the Hall, whenever required. Be it OP, Illu whatever, it is hard to stay away when things are “happening” in the Hall! And one last dream of winning the gold in Illu still remains. With the first years also coming to the Hall this year, another new experience is in store for. Lets see how things turn out.
Best wishes are always there with Mukesh and his batch to carry out things smoothly and perfectly. Patel Hall has given me so much to learn and so much to look back to when I am gone and so much to look forward to when I am still here. I definitely would like the Hall to attain all possible heights in my final year of stay here.
