One day that I was waiting for was my farewell. The day that officially said that my journey of three years, my graduation was over. I was going to end yet another part of my educational life. The day that told me that now I was a graduate. I was a grown up now, that I was going to leave something behind and that I was to join a new race. Have a new life. Get a job, be successful because by this day I had the qualifications to do so.
But when it was time to face the day I had no energy to go to the college or sit in the auditorium and face all those people and that college that I was not going to be a part of after that day. It was so difficult to smile at everyone or speak to everyone cause everything seemed so wrong, yes I know that it had to end on this particular day and I had been preparing myself for this day from the very start of final year but some how the emotion was different the last time I would be facing most of the people who have seemed like a family for these three years, with whom I shared those feelings and that bond that couldn’t be shared with any other person if it wasn’t them. Everyone has to face such day sometime or another but it was a little difficult for me cause after three years in Mumbai I only had these few friends and not having them around like they have been for these years that very thought was really disturbing.
Yet when I got to know that we were having our farewell on 5th of april I went shopping to buy a new dress for a very beautiful day that was going to leave me sad at the end of it. I bought new clothes new accessories and got ready for the day. Went to my friends house to get ready and then left in a car for the college every one out there had the same face which was smiling yet was sad a small emotion and we would all cry.. yes it was really terrible to see those faces whom we would not see in the coming years. Then we went into the auditorium where the sweet juniors had planned things for us by fighting with our professors and “HOD” and poor people arranged for a farewell in just two days time. They really faced many difficulties for our sake and they are the sweetest juniors anyone would ask for. And the farewell started with dances and masti few confessions through fishpond, few questions that left many embarrassed but it was fun. The most amazing were the “NA-REAL” awards and after being nominated for three awards I managed winning the most “chappad-chappad ” award for myself..so proud I was.. and then there was the ultimate thing the slide show of memories that is our photographs. It went on for three long songs..one was splitsvilla ka title track by agnee then yaadien and then purani jeans that was amazing…..i and one of my friend started crying by looking at those photographs.. and iam sure most of them were crying there. And then we were asked to give our views about the time spent by us in the college..and iam very sure if I did not have my poem in hand I couldn’t have been able to say a word cause we were all chocked with emotions. I was already crying when I read the poem then ketki cried when she started crying and couldn’t finish.. then I was really taken by surprise by three of my classmates who mentioned me in there speech for some cute reasons that made me more emotional cause I did not expect those things from them..at the end of everything I felt so proud cause those words gave me strength of believing that I wouldn’t be forgotten after this night and that was such a relief..we ended up taking many pictures to capture those memories of the last night together..hugged and cried and again hugged and cried made promises to keep in touch but god knows how we would keep up to them..then filled with those memories and emotions we headed back to our own nests..
The thing to say is I will surely miss these three years. They have thought me a lot of things in good and bad ways but that doesn’t matter now..i would carry a lot of things from these three years yes iam even glad that it all ended at once but still there is a part that says it should have been a little longer..
To all my friends whom might come across this blog.. iam sorry if I have hurt you in anyway or have been rude to you..iam really sorry and I really love you all and to let you know that iam surely going to miss every single person I have known in college in some way or another..love you for giving me some beautiful memories and being a part of my life..
