Retrospect….20-20!! (Read it: 4 years in BITS (n pieces)…err…VNR!)

I am done with the trouble of undergraduation!!Now I can call myself… (At least I could) a civil engineer.

All these years, I have (lets give it an ascending chronological order…cut chesthe…1st yr racing to final!!):

1. Stepped into the college each day with disgust (read it: with one sentence ringing in my ears “cheppina mata vinaledu…bharinchu 4 yrs”…by everyone possible, back home!!)

2. Then tried to figure out what civil engineering is like…well…obviously it sucked…so I turned my attention(partially though) towards the human beings, who just existed for me.
Well, that only made things worse….they ceased to exist!!

3. Stopped attending classes after 2 r 3 months…may be that’s too late a realization!!

4. Finished the 1st year JNTU examinations in complete horror!!

5. turned successful with a whopping 97 in the most dreadful graphics!!
(Note: I wouldn’t have termed it successful had it not been for EAMCET.)

6. within no time, earned the label(s) of ‘arrogant gal’, ‘too- happy –with- ones ‘self’ image, ‘show –off’, ‘too much of pride to live with’, etc.

7. Had certain dreams of engineering crashed to earth. (Except for my bike….which gave me solitude at the cost of petrol, though!!)

8. Digested the reality and spent all my productive time in earning percentage….which I never repent for the only reason of being transitively placed in CTS.

9. Read quite a bit and found all time favourites!!Read papillon which had slapped me right in the face about my take on life…at that time, of course!!

10. Attended a summer camp at IITK.Felt entirely rejuvenated in life after having spent a month among mortals!!

11. Been to kerala…just to realize that before I talk about traveling, I should first complete kerala…in every possible sense! Fell in love with the place!!

12. Started enjoying life at college day after day for umpteen reasons and was completely content with the two friends I managed to talk with!!

13. Had absolutely memorable combined study sessions!!

14. Had ok-ok time at T.I.M.E!!

15. Spent hours and hours searching for bhabhi!!

16. Th December…that’s when it actually happened! The wedding!!

17. Started taking violin classes!!

18. Spent a morose life watching movies all through the last semester….

19. Came out of college with zero nostalgia!!

20. Spent the last day of college writing an exam, playing on a concert, and dining out with a dearest one!!

P.S. I don’t want to write, I donno what to write or there are too many things on my mind to write!!

Somewhere.........There is a definite cynicism creeping in your writes over the years.

Older ones seem to be .....more ...more....say.....energetic for lack of a better word.
