I Miss You....

It hasn't been that long,
That you left us for a conquest of your own...for a dream quite daring,
But the meager gap seems endless...just like a vague song
Complete with beats, music and rhythm, but a composition quite jarring!

I may emphasize, I may elaborate,
But dear friend, be very sure, I will not exaggerate!
To insist on the loneness among us all...
To highlight on the loquacity affecting us all!
It seems, without you...
The vibe amongst us has burnt off like a flue!
But we still cherish one pertaining fact!
That the day will come when you are within us all...making our group still and intact!

I am proud of your ambition...
I am here to support your career's initiation!
But maybe its the time, maybe its our smiles...
That bind us so much so true,
To be able to think, almost at every instance, of you!

So dear friend, once again I would like to narrate...
I may emphasize, I may elaborate!
But trust me...I will not exaggerate!
Seeing the days gone by, and looking at the ones yet to come...
All I see is myself in queue,
Waiting for that smile eagerly, knowing that the days left...are few!
But even though the gap seems endless, it still is a song quite vague...
The beats, the music still continue....but to the heart, it seems like a plague!

(Dedicated to one of my most sweetest friends, Soumita....missing her presence in the daily melancholy of my college life!)

A Day To Remember....

Ever had a spring of events surfacing now and then, just within one particular day? Moreover, an apt question would be that ever had that kind of a day and you enjoyed every moment of it? Well...for me, today was such an experience.....truly a collection of moments which I, and all of my fellow friends would remember till the end!

A plan was earlier made to celebrate the placement of 14 of our batchmates...in a mega way! All was fixed, but just yesterday one of our "respected" professors (or rather a grizzly bear) called up and informed us about the class test due for today...with probably the shortest notice (of less than 16 hours) I've ever seen in my life. With the apprehension expanded the feeling of tension and dubious ways to manage the situation. Plans like inviting the concerned teacher to our celebrations, and the likes were made. Some were accepted, some rejected....but the ultimate one accepted was to talk to him straight-away by paying him a visit. So we locate his apartment and ring the bell....but all we got was his no-show attitude and a slight tone of anger from his side. Deciding not to poke the already poked bear, we scramble to our respective abodes...trying to study with whatever time we have left on our hands! Next day, as expected, he came with printed papers for the exam. We all knew tit-bits of the subject...so we decide to resort to teamwork for solving the paper and voila! We did give the exam in an unexpectedly good manner! :):)

So, happy with our round in the exam hall, next on the agenda was the buffet in Mainland China! But as per our routines, we had our projects scheduled today! And call it my luck, my own guide had other plans...specially for me and my project partner! But after a quick discussion and a slight twist with some reason, we trick our ways out of the labs and head on to our destination!

The first thing I noticed in the restaurant was the expression on the waiters' faces. All they day was an influx of 55 people....in various groups...slowly occupying the tables in all corners. They were glowing, imagining the bill amount probably, but they also were aware of the service they had to provide! But who cares? We hit the buffet tables in a flash....and in a crowded fashion! It seemed as though if the entire 5 star restaurant was converted into a mere college canteen - crowded tables, loud conversations....slangs all around...and most importantly, eating out of each other's plates! But man did we enjoy! It truly was a moment to savour! The only thing I felt disgusted about was that had it not been for the untimely scheduling of that wretched exam, I would not have forgotten about my camera! All these expressions could have stayed on my computer, but hey....I soon forgot about this when all the "khilli" started happening all around. I had been to this restaurant numerous times - sometimes with my family...others during some events...but all of them were a bit too formal! But today....it was like a group of hungry elites were suddenly exposed to the luxury of 5 star food and drinks! And the rest? Well, I guess you can easily visualize the situations! :D

Next, the scene was a bit too usual. Inflated belly's, with an inability to walk properly...and most importantly...the infection of the afternoon slumber phenomenon! So some of decided to go home and relax. Others, like us, decided to enjoy the cool breeze of the AC of the mall and chat our time by. But as the evening approached, some of us suddenly remembered the other commitment we had for the evening - Spanish class! With a dire urge....and loathsome footsteps, we set on for the short journey, but then what happened was probably the best thing in the entire day! Now, we have our classes in RKM, which is known for discipline and strictness. In college, we bunk every now and then, but today we bluffed RKM as well! We had a submission (about which we all had forgotten) and so, we went a tad earlier, and completed the assignment ( simply by copying from others :P) and then, suddenly decided to bunk the class. Thus came our teacher, and the excuse we came up with was that there was an extremely important exam scheduled for the next day, and that we should be permitted to leave. Seeing our sincerity (by coming solely to submit the assignment)and our "frankness", our teacher was truly impressed. She even granted us our attendance for today! And after that : destination Cafe Coffee Day! :D

Today was a day, where we really were tested to the second! We came out with utter grandiose and more importantly, we also executed out plans for the day. An entire day with friends, food and drinks! All in all....a day to remember. I would say my batchmates reading this would agree to this to the detail, but now...as the clock ticks closer to the end of the day...I doubt the encore of this experience, but hey...I guess moments like this should be rare..as it is then when they will retain their sweetness, wouldn't it? So cheers to the guys who made this treat possible, cheers to the guys with whom we cracked todays paper and finally, cheers to my lovely group for making the finale another grand experience!
