As the curtains draw on the 4yr course called B.E there is an air filled with nostalgia, uncertainty, fear and hope around us. Every one is going gung ho about the fact that these are the last few months with friends and now memorable moments will be hard to find. All of us are feeling bad that we are about to loose something which would be hard to find…most people say friends…but what it is they do not know..may be it is the comfort of routine or the importance that we have in some ones life (peers for most of us…the soon 2 be parted with gf for a few!!) or perhaps it is the question of what happens next?
I think all these stem from our fear of not being able to find suitable replacements. I think most of us have forgotten what life teaches us “Every one is expendable .“ We don’t stop when things go bad around us now do they..Remember those days in school where life was limited but was fun like anything. At the moment when you had just won a gully cricket match played with your friends and you felt like you were the king of the world..Those friends who were about the only extension of our lives beyond school and home…they have now been replace by whole new gang of people who hang out at tapri’s, eat together, roam together and if you are lucky enough may even study together..Perhaps a couple of guys came along but what about the rest??
Most of our old friendships are now reduced to sms, sns and the phone call on birthday…This is what happened and will happen again…I do not wish to say that it is right or wrong… Some might say we disagree we are still close with our friends as we were back then..I say then you cannot be as close to your new friends then… There is only one person at the top of mind recall that you call to share your experience with… And you can only talk to one person regularly for an hour to gossip :D. The old friendships exist but they have stood the test of time and now are pillars…The same is about to happen with our new good friends..
To do justice mathematically there are only 24hrs in a day….and we allocate only a certain percentage of time for our friends… Some one’s slot is gonna get reduced when you make a new friend… As they say one mans loss is another mans gain…
As we move ahead I say whatever your experience…Look ahead at the prospect that you’ll get a chance to meet new people and who knows may be better and bigger things in store for you…I for one two months down the line am hopefully gonna celebrate completing my BE in 4yrs…a task which when I started seemed Impossible!
Wishing every one a happy future ahead!!

ReplyDeleteNice post Maverick , totally agree with u when u say old friendships are reduced to sms and calls and nothing else. You have aptly showcased the emotions that run within us when we leave those relations
ReplyDeleteEven though the world is a small place but at the end of the day old relationships remain are just non existent except that they stay on your phone book and Friends list
Expendable... the word is a bit extreme to define friends. Just bcoz u r unable to catch up with them for a weekend movie, a cup of coffee or a leisurely chat doesnt make them expendable. For me, if during ur quiet moment u think back of the person and feel the comfort f giving in a call any random time, that itself shows that the person still has a special place. As far as catching up with new ppl goes, u tend to become the victims of routine and incarcerate urself in the realms of the mundane status quo. The relations in the real big bad world from now on would be more professional than personal and one would certainly prefer to be on his own than being meddled upon by ppl. Call it ego or so called maturity, u wont feel comfortable in putting ur heart out in front of others.THat's where these college mates and frenz come into picture.
ReplyDeleteSo i believe, moments together may get sporadic but the bond never gets expendable...
SRK's scene in luck by chance and his personal life itself is a testimony to this fact.
shims... well old frnds do get lost in the track... and at times it does hurt to loose few!!! it would have been better if we wer selfish enough to keep the old budddies and still make new ones!!!
ReplyDeletenyways!! nice 1.. keep going!!! u got a bright future!!!
nice one. i'm going through the same.
ReplyDeletehope we dont fail to recognize each other if we ever pass each other on the roads!
