farewell…

Fourth of March, Two Thousand Ten – a day that will always remain in my memory forever. It was the day of farewell… Farewell to the APS class of 2010. 962 days of being in college – with all those memories and incidents – major and minor. All of it has, finally, come to an end.

It was a hearty experience, this college! It’s got to be, for you taste freedom for the first time, isn’t it? New friends, new accquaintences, new relationships… All of it and more. New philosophies, new tastes, new experiences… All of it and more.

Funny, isn’t it? When you forge new bonds, you feel that you’ll keep them with you forever. And then you become sad on the last day of college. When you’ve already decided to maintain those bonds forever, then why be sad? Think about it.

A few words about the farewell ceremony though… It was a very hearty affair. The juniors had organised it very well (hem hem!). It was in the auditorium, which was a privilege in itself! I delivered a speech, in which I talked about the memories that have come to be associated with college, and friends. It was well received, I must say! Everyone laughed, everyone remembered things, and everyone applauded!

It was then followed by title-giving-ceremony, where the junior gave us “titles”… I was given that of Mr. Robotic Mind or something… (Didn’t listen for I was too busy clicking pictures! :P)

Then came the PJ King competition, where Dhruv won by a w i d e margin! A dance party followed, where everyone enjoyed and I clicked pictures (again!).

It was fun, yes. A special thanks to all my juniors for making the day memorable. :)

PS: On my way back, a momentary distraction resulted in my falling off some 18 stairs at the Tilak Nagar Metro Station. I survived, with minor scratches here and there; but the gift I’d received at the ceremony could not. It got smashed into two pieces :(
