College ....

I know my last post was kind of incomplete without relating the intricate incidents that i had in school, but believe me there are so many that its better if i put it in a separate blog altogether if possible.

Well soon i moved out of school and joined college. This included a first and a second college. I first joined a pretty famous college in Delhi, where i was studying Chemistry honors. I lived in a hostel and although in the initial period, i went through a lot of the so called "personality development programs", the latter period till i left the college to join engineering in the second college, i enjoyed thoroughly. It was my first experience living in a hostel.

In my tenure in hostel, i learnt how to keep your own miseries behind you and try and heal another persons wound. It taught me how to believe that the next day would be better than today. It taught me to hope and wish good for others and myself it taught me to care share and also swear.

After two months it ended and i moved to an engineering college in Calcutta my hometown. From day one i hated the place, and i hate it till date. The only things i treasure from my college are the people i got to know there.

Education was very mediocre, and it left me very disinterested. I could never understand why professors were there since the only reason i passed through the exams were by reading through text books the night before the exam with no help from the professors.

Like school i had some very special friends out in college who still remain to be my brothers. The only difference being ..... in school us friends were too similar ..... we were like peas of the same pod ... but in college we were diverse but we understood each other .... and maybe that is the only learning i take back from college .... !! I believe that even if people do not certify what you think or how you think or cannot perceive your line of though .... but still listen to you and try and understand ... even at times make fun of you ..... but still support you when the time arises, they are maybe a garland of gems that you can always wear and boast off.

The other fact of college was that i hardly spent time in there. It was more in the tea shop or at a friends place drinking, doping, doing all kinds of things to get away from reality, but at the end of the semester we all used to realize that reality "bytes" and somehow help each other to pass the exams. A perfect example of how a brotherhood should work.

We had many escapades, some crude, some rude some simply unforgettable, but once again if i go about relating each and every one out here, i may as well start to write another blog on my college days, which of course i might some day but not now. This is not the time and place. This is more about summaries of incidents or periods of time that affected my life.

Well one day even college ended after the huge tension of college placements which i would have never survived without my college pals and soon the student period of this life time had ended with all my learning's about life ......
