Y5-BBot - Commemorating best years of our life

Its just yesterday that I realized now is the end. Yes it all ends here. Best four years of my life. Here it goes. I see its trails as it goes away.

Today is the graduation day of many of us, supposedly a red lettered day for them but somewhere in their hearts everybody is sad. Sad because this is the end of four years of joy. The thought that when I wake up next day I will not find my friends in the rooms beside me is horrible. I wish I wake up tomorrow to find that it is first day of fourth year and we all arrived from our homes. We are running here and there for registration. I just wish! Who says boys don't cry!
May be we will meet each other or may be not.May be very often of not. But we cannot live together the way we lived. It was mere celebration of life and the joy of being together.

But we celebrated in style on 29th of may. A farewell cake and celebration to mark its end.
All things must pass. Good or bad. So does this. Its time to move on. A new phase in life begins - life without all of Y5-BBot group.

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
there is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Squash coaching

I've joined squash coaching which started last to last week. I had to shell out 1000 bucks for protective eye-glass. They say ball hit in the eye is very dangerous. Leads to excessive pain and unsuccessful operation. Apart from that a new graphite made racket will cost me another 2000 bucks. That's lot of spending.

Its been over 1 week and 2 hrs daily is a tiring schedule. I must say I never toiled so much (physically) in such short duration. Only in the first few days things were taught and thereafter it is just repeating the same thing and physical work out everyday. It has become as boring as lectures during semester. Though till now I've missed only 1 session I think I will skip more in coming days.

Election Results - SMS rulz

Its election time and so it gets reflected in my blogs to. Coming from state of Uttar Pradesh no surprise I am interested in politics. (Detailed Results at http://www.ndtv.com/elections/)
Good thing about this election is that one party, Congress(with allies), got near to majority. Out of 543 seats 272 are required to prove majority in the newly elected parliament. This means that we are going to have a stable government. There were a lot of surprises in the results. Left parties reduced to around 24 that is about 36 short of last election figures. Mamta Banarji's TMC in West Bengal got around 20 as opposed to last time's 3. A remarkable increase. Much of this can be attributed to Nandigram land issue.
Also after a long time Congress was able to attain considerable no. of seats in the most important state U.P.
Now staage is set for 5 more years of UPA rule. 5 more years of SMS rule in the country. Btw SMS is for Sardar Manmohan Singh.

Unreported days

Several days have passed unreported and unrecorded.

Last major semester exams ended on 29th. It was a bit of nostalgia. Half of my friends leaving soon. It pains to part from the 4 years of friendship. Spending time in last few days together with our friends. I feel lucky to get 5 years (1 still to go) of life at this wonderful place. But this place in last few years has not been the one it used to be. Seven suicides in last seven semesters. and 2 attempts, though unsuccessful, in the last month. This place is up to something.

A chain of night strolls together with friends makes best of memories. On one of these one of my friends says that it will be lonely fifth year with most of us lively friends gone suggesting that we should get gf. My friend has not yet evolved to the IITK style of life. Getting a girl is not into the tradition of this place. But like every other thing in the world this tradition is changing.

Came back home after the exams after a little bit of thesis work. My thesis guide is a very calm and considerate person. Seems we will make a good team.

Watching a series of BBC’s Story of India, a must watch for all Indians, a good informative and entertaining documentary by Michel Woods.

Returned from home on 12th this month. Now back to college. Got to read a chapter on 'Blood Flows'.

With much time to spare computer gaming is the major activity around. Plugged into CS and the good old Quake3.

Whole summer is ahead. I still have to make plans about how to spend it. Btw I joined squash coaching camp in campus.
