The final year of our college life in IIT Kgp is upon us..... However it does not feel too much different yet. Except the following things:
1. Writing lengthy, trying, repititive applications to companies
2. Gazing at the beautiful sky and wondering whether we will get to live in such beautiful surroundings in the future
3. Quizzing each other on words.. as preparation for CAT or GRE
4. Putting up the impression that you are above it all... that everything is 'maaya'
I feel there is a long way to go before we actually feel the final year feeling. Probably when we have got a job or a schol, we will realise that our paths are different. That these last few months in college are the last few months that we are going to spend together.
My hall president 'Ghaasi' told me the day he was leaving that this might just be the last day we were seeing each other 'eye-to-eye'. I have kept in touch with him over the net but do not know when, if at all, i will see him.
The point I am trying to make is that we are going to miss our friends. And very soon we will start missing them. We will realise that the person who we avoided for his nagging traits will not be beside us to nag us anymore. We will realise that some friends will have such varying paths in life that their trodden paths will seldom coincide with ours.
That is when the final year will truly start.
