As the days pass away, with each ticking seconds turning to minutes, minutes to hours and marking yet another day's end .
I cant help but count all those years reduced from the kitty of College...
Every day thought involves of what this College means 2 us?
In 1st year when we came the only thing we all did was complaining of each n every thing of College. Right from faculties to timings to mess to no col bus to canteen to labs........watever we cud think of….We found ways to criticize.
Then I never knew I can miss this College so much...
Then somehow passing along , half awakened(by all my efforts) in IT's combined classes....bearing Madhvi mam's sarcastic smile (n smiling all along wid her), Karma ki bakwaas..n Paria's series for 2 long yrs..... the Hostel Mess
Amidst of all dis.....Masti...the long Birthday Parties(bumps, cakes , djs ).....n champu bankar visits to seniors, their endless justifications and impositions.....
Mess mein daily pange.....ya searches of what can be eaten , any combination to work that day(daal roti, raita roti, ghee roti ..or chawal but wid wat?? Sugar or milk..when left with none..the 1 and only sahara “Maggie”).
Carrying on with these all along and easing out any of the 17 dormmate friends crying , missing her home, all seemed too much to take.............
Came 2nd year and then we recognised the bunking phenomenon and long bunks.......
PT's and GT's series, internals mein fekhna and external mein lambi lambi thokna,.........
d perfect weavers of unexistent fundaes and misconcepts ...........
The days were gud, easy , chilled n relaxed.......
Then the fad of toughest sem in 3rd year and the terror accompanying it ( in the form of RAKSHA mam—I still remember being topmost in her hit list )
Then VLSI terror and mystery ......(divided opinions for RAVI SIR).
The best revisions and re-re visions yet unable to answer questions of Sashi sir. Yet his keen interest and enthusiasm to make us understand.
1st open book exam experience, and wondering 4 entire test duration , still unbelieving is this a reality..can this ever happen in IET??(Tapan sir is a real gentlement).
and long cherished notions, discussions and suggestions to make it the norm.
The 3rd and final years of untiring sampling teachings, any and every faculty can come but will start from sampling. I was really fed up of it.(whats so special in sampling??).
raksha mam's terror, pratibha mam's pace, khilzi sir's deep mysterious depiction of
hidden beauty n meaning of mathematical xpressions ,all seemed like eternity..
When seniors were here we felt they are gud, when they'll go we'll have our say.......
but then we found our juniors in that place.........
n when we now see our still juniors , we feel these batches are really gud.
I should have been a batch up or one down...........
yet our batch remains uncomparable as the best batch ever..
from its strong solidarity, to freak outs, to so many jacks and masters of various fields.
gaming experts and computer geeks , champions of hindi movies, shero shayaris and cards and what not......
Yet 2day its hard to believe it has ended (so swiftly at that).
No longer we need to queue up for paying fees for giving exam.......
No longer will we have to arrange for files, for submission on next day......
OR Bunk Classes in case we are caught unaware on the D day itself...
Our very own farzi IET Stationary as only ray of hope.........
All was a Beautiful dream......
The loads of plannings of cultural fests...
The consistent cry for canteen's standard, hopeful wishes on its shifting.....
Library Queues n masti there , dragging n pulling n pushing accompanied by phate’s..........
Then right. from the fear that our college will be closed, to proud at its fests , rock shows and placements and Janta making a mark over every arena here and there.......
We could transcend the barriers at very short notice-no Guard band , all overlapped and unclarified demarcations..........
2nd yr GRE bhoot to 3rd n final years craze for CH and CAT bhoot......
Yet our Tokekar sir with his long untiring fascination with Gate and unending queries for GATE APPEARING, qualified, toppers ....
The assignments for defaulters at the nth hour of exam.
All this has come to an end at last.
Yet wat remains is none of this.......
But the newly constructed cool building of main bloc, a much better canteen area..
a legacy of 100ths of teams of juniors making bots from 1st yr......
The fond rose gardens in front of main block and Mech block
The B blocks Garden n GRAFFIET.......
The D blocks parking cum cricket ground cum chatting n hanging out place............
And the endless days of final year fun and photosessions, Ralamandal trips and birthday parties - celebrations, srimaya, gk n treats.........
“ DAM SHARAAJ” and “TRUTH and DARES” .............
All mingled in a smile n laughter emerging from one mingling in rest ......coming out as a
single huge picture of true fun and joy............
And we find ourselves looking forward to convo...(though not at all to final result) ...esp. the HAT throw and robe (which was so much endangered.... in tune to our batch's tradition to attract all the deviations from the ideal conduct.....be it in managing our fests or say in our schedules or writing experiments for external viva ).
So the time ticking away silently seems too much to bear.......
The endless photoshoots and videos & slams sayeth it all.............
proud to be of this batch .............
May we take a new endeavour.......
As there have been few , very remarkable ones at that like Sahni sir's starting abacus club and all d events -4 which the College is well known till now , graffiti which adds requisite flavor to the college and a mouthpiece of voice of its janta ,to having well known bands in the campus to perform, to starting of convocation (though by our own contri till now)...........
Lets start a new Endeavor of a strong alumni base formation........
For our college and its progress...( to finally have a say in the mismatched and mismanaged mechanical monopoly n dominance.).....
Lets not just complain at back but take the lead to make it a true college of ours.
With no preferred branches or 1 person dominating and dictating the terms and conditions and eating away the zeal of others.......
Lets make a platform for us to join hands for a college which is truly our cherished one and will always remain…in our fond memories.....
