Looking Back and Thinking Beyond

Lying down alone
Resonating in my mind
Are the echoes of the times gone.
I lay awake staring at the ceiling
With more than just a nostalgic feeling.
I leave this place and its people here
With their memories held so dear.
And I move on
Looking back and thinking beyond…

The failures that pained
The lessons that were gained.
The smiles that worked
The words that hurt.
The pain of parting
The joy of a new starting.
With a strange emptiness within
I look back and think beyond…

The curtain falls again
Its time for another change…

These four years in college apparently might have passed in a wink of an eye, but I lived a new life each passing day. A life full of new dreams, new zeal, new fervor, new anxiety and a whole new strength. Midnight birthday parties, lectures and bunks, fashion shows and fests, trips and tour de force, parties and pangas….. lingering memories.
The first firsts, felicitations, fiesta, fantasies, frustrations, fallacies, failures, fiascoes, feelings, friends, foes and farewell……. I have come a long way.

Leaving you with pictures worth a thousand stories. Absolutely crazy hostel days, pajama parties et al! Will miss all the people who made my college life really memorable. Thanks to my dearest pals who still continue to walk with me :D. For the ones who left… m glad you did!! (muhahahahaha)

Four years rigorous imprisonment ends!!!!!!!!!! ;)
