This Time, Last Year!

Hi all!

Memories. Our life is one big collage of various events that crossed our paths, during the course of our time. 

The year 2010 was a pretty big one in my life and I'm sure it was for many of my batchmates as well. 

Why? Here in India, being a Science student, and being interested in Engg, more often than not equates to the following: 

1. Destroy the Boards and/or
2. Clear IIT-JEE/AIEEE.

Seems mundane and uncool, no? Well, It sure is, when looked at the academics point of view. 

In my case though, I can very confidently say, that I may have had the most fun time of my life, during my preparations for JEE. All credit to that, goes to my awesomely terror set of friends, who always managed to rock any place we were in!

Why did we enjoy the classes? 

Pre class chatter. Seems stupid? You have no idea what we people can yap about! The latest scandals and rumors, making up new scandals and rumors ( :P ), sledging, betting and daring... I still remember some really EPIC dares, where one of my friends had to give a chocolate to a girl, only to find the chocos were heart shaped... #HILARIOUS!

Obviously, observation of the opposite gender ( 3:-D ) was a regularity, even though, sometimes it was a rarity... ;P. And the random going to local shops, buying chips packets and seeing them empty in 2 seconds, or sneak silently while you savour your meal. only to be chased down by rabid friends who sniffed you out during their break-time prowlings!

And I have to confess, the academic part of my life was also, quite a riot. I was blessed with studd profs for physics and chem and just attending their classes was bliss. Interactive classes, rock...always, and their work, paid off, as we all are quite happy where we are.

Accepted, this time, last year, all of us plain tensed. Tensed, cos we had to score in 2 big examinations. But, upfront, we all had that, 'Who-gives-a-damn' smile and a Cool cat attitude. 

As i wrote this, I kinda realised, that wherever we are, whatever we do, in the end, its the people who we are with, that defines how much we actually enjoy, what we do. And I'm lucky, that JEE gave me a chance, to get to know my friends better, and also, to make, many more true friends! And also...for letting me enter Insti :D

This is to all of you out there, who made my life, LEGEN.....wait4it....DARY!! 

WE ROCK!! \m/

More than 'Just Friends'

Hullo people!
Have you watched Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na? As far as I comprehended the movie, its about this awesome 2 people, who were really, really close friends, but later, discovered that their relationship was not mere friendship; it was, rather, The Pinnacle of Relationships, Love.

I watched that movie more than half a year ago (Yea, I know, Damn late!), and thought, 'Yea, Bollywood. Terrific imagination!'.
Well folks, turns out, the ever-ignorant Me, was shocked to know that that situation is very much possible.
How do I know that? No, Not personal experience (Ob :P ).

Recently, 2 of my friends ( A 'He' and a 'She'), got into an argument. Apparently, 'She' said she wouldn't speak to him 'forever',  for a reason, at that time, obscured (to  me, at least). For a fact, fights between these two were common, and I should have been quite used to this by now. Thing was, for a change, it was 'He' who told me something was wrong. Well, more probing and thinking, (On my part), led me to the conclusion that, once again, a mood swing had swept over her. Mood Swings do this? Why 'Him', you ask me?

The history of these two go back ages, of which, I know jus a small portion of. Lets just say, there was an attempt to upgrade a friendship to The Pinnacle, and somehow, that just didnt work out, and so, they decided to continue as 'Friends'. Close Friends.

Ok, as usual, at the end of the day, (in this case, close to, the end), my thoughts, wandered.
What was the problem? My answer was quite simple. MAN-DOESN'T-FORGET.
Or at least, most don't. Surely, there would many times, when you would have 'forgiven' someone for something they did, but the next time you you him/her, everything comes back and you'll be on your guard.
Likewise here, just that its a LOT more complicated.

You have that immense need to be in each other's company, but can't do that, because maybe, others may think 'something's up'. You constantly shift between two states of mind, not really knowing where you really belong. You feel your 'not  good enough' or 'not worthy of him/her', and go into a self-imposed depressed state, while the other person has no idea, whats happening. You want to prove you can live, peacefully, without the other person, in turn torturing yourself mentally and again, the other person would remain in bewilderment.

I'll give an example of how confused one can be in such a situation.
On asking what 'She' really felt, the reply was, " 'He' makes me feel Happy and Beautiful...umm, Other guys also make me feel Happy and Beautiful... " :P

What to make of this? Like the majority of semi-sane people on the planet, I too love happy endings. Good news, as far as I know, their argument is 'adjourned' (Since I can NEVER say, over!).
Will they finally figure where they stand and decide accordingly? Time, only time will tell! :)

Anyways, for people who were looking for a comedy write-up, Sorry, this time, it was kinda on a serious side.
Perhaps, next time? :D Lol, Only Time will tell =P
