Its been quite a long time since my last post. So I have decided to dedicate this post to some "relevant topic"...and by relevance I do not mean relevant to my nation (like Anna's fast unto death or the 2G scam or Kanimozhi's arrest, as much has been written and telecast about them..but I might write about them in my next post), or relevant to my family (my parent's worries about my brother's admission in a college, due next year). Relevance here implies relevance to me...so here it goes..............

The initial three months of the last semester proved to be the best, reason being my first job, my birthday, two of my friends' birthdays, a cousin's marriage, roaming about the markets of Janpath and Sarojini Nagar, a smooth tension- free life and much more. I shopped till I dropped, be it kolhapuris (or something very close to kolhapuris), kurtas or T- shirts (before this, I had always doubted my shopping potential!). After that, life around me suddenly started getting the better of me, but in the process made me a better person. 

Midst the final year project, continuous trips to Bahadurgarh and Karol Bagh, posting innumerable forms for post graduation, witnessing companies coming for on- campus placement and giving vivas and presentations, a very different flavor of life came out in the open. It captivated me completely (both literally and figuratively!!).

People who were just classmates before became close companions (courtesy: 'project'). We braved the heat stroke together, crossing all barriers of distance and time, so engrossed in the project work, that appearing for exams seemed to be a formality, a ritual that we had been performing for the past seven semesters (what more can one expect from final year students?). But then hard work pays. Our project was selected for the inter- college competition, and we brought laurels to our college by winning the first prize. No one was expecting an all- girls team to give such a spectacular performance at this level, but then they could not deny the fact that our concept was feasible and more importantly, we thoroughly knew what we were saying and what we had fabricated, and that's the way the cookie crumbles (Copyright: Bruce Almighty)!!

Then came the end term examination. At first, it seemed that this is the last exam of my life, but there are many more exams yet to come. But one thing that I am going to miss for sure, wherever I go, will be my college- IGIT, and every single being, living or non- living,  associated with it.


Well now, there is a whole new horizon ahead and an entirely diverse world beckoning me towards itself!!
