Walking through the shadows of the same old trees on the same long road on a pleasant sunny morning after 3 years at my college.......my mind travels back in time to the very first day at my college.....the day when I was literally amused at the sight of every particular detail of the college..(the thick trees shedding flowers all along the road side,the path covered wid flowers,the faded lustre of the academic buildings,the gentle serene atmosphere,the multi ethnic environment,the very spacious reading
rooms in library etc. etc. ) .I found that environment very much conducive in fact inspiring for learning things and i strted dreaming about my life at the college. Ofcourse its human nature to imagine things but i do it ten times more than a normal human.that amusement went on for a quite few days till i got habituated to it but then ......it was like life was on pause for 3 yrs except for few days of traditional skimming through books before exams now and then and my dreaming which stopped never and finally I am here.Nothing has changed much in the above mentioned things since then except one thing which transformed drastically..........my attitude towards life..frm a very curious n ambitious one to an utterly complacent one.Getting good grades here for me is like a tightrope walk wid lot of beautiful girls standing around.You have to be careful till the last moment and dont get carried away by the distractions and I hav failed everytime I tried it. One thing people learn from this college most easily is taking things easy and if one judges me I will get an 'EX' grade in this. In spite of this the basic premise that we created which makes our existence happy here is"toppers are the headless morons who struggle with buks day and night with the fear of revealing their real identity and we mediocres are the extremely talented guys who gave up studies just because we dont give a damn about them".
Today a feeling of dissatisfacton fills me looking at my performance in a subject of my interest,the subject which i have excelled in +2,the subject which helped me to come here.I realised i dreamed a lot,dreamed at the cost of real life.Looking back i find deep darkness due to the dearth of knowlege.I continue to walk along without tasting the sweetness of success which i dreamed of all through.
