NOTE: This piece is an old one...It was on my old blog on MSN but i thought it needed to be re-edited and re-published because this one is straight from the heart.. and now is the more appropriate time for posting it anyway.. so for those who have already read it, dont bother reading it again.. but there are a few changes.. As for the style.. its freestyle and i havent paid attention to punctuation and grammar.. in keeping with how the article was when i first wrote it.This note was not neccessary.. but it just felt so cool to write one !!
I dont want to sound like some stupid literature nerd... but when Robert Frost wrote " And miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep... " he was SO NOT kidding. Thats how I felt two years ago ..and yeah a VERY VERY long two years they were!!! I almost cant believe it finally came to an end and (thankfully) im going to go to college!! HAHA.. PROPER SENIOR COLLEGE!! not this stupid junior college that ive been rotting in for the last 2X365X24X86400 seconds..or so figuratively speaking.. u do the math...
Ironical as it seems i think im going to miss that HELL HOLE(NJC-my college). Its a pity that we wont have to walk up the stairs wondering when we'll be walking down them to go home again or whether we will be going down them again at all...I wont have to go to the Principal's room coz she wanted to "talk" to me... I'll miss all those fun times at lunch talking about how silly everyone else is..( yes.. we do put aside a few minutes for meals even at NJC).. Im going to miss having an exam every monday,and tuesday,and wednesday... and EVERYDAY!!! I'm going to miss waking up each morning and looking through the news paper hoping that one particular bulding had been bombed by terrorists..or wishing that the rain had submerged it.. or hoping that it had been struck by lightning..
Jokes apart... I've got to admit im going to miss all my friends and some of the teachers..( I repeat.. SOME of the teachers...) coz all those hours spent there have really caused a bonding... and thought i hate to admit it.. yes.. i cannot erase those two years from my memory.. because there were some good moments... Like the time when Goldy Sir called me the "Dhoolpet Rowdy" and when he caught us( Krutika and me) sleeping in his class or when the chemistry sirs caught me sleeping in their classes SOOO many times or when Ravi Shanker Sir used to check the notes and we used to quickly copy the sums we didnt get.. it was fun.. no doubt.. and im going to write a whole entry on that later..
I'm really going to miss being the coolest one around for a change :P .. coz everyone there was such a geek hahahaha ( ok.. now i know i crossed the limit.. but dont laugh Krutika and Sruthi :P )
This ones out to all the survivors out there.... all those who r now smelling the oh so wonderful smell of freedom..from the clutches of corporate college!!!And for those who hate their new college already.. just remember.. we've seen worse...
NOTE:I just realised i love writing notes... hahaha!!! NJC= Narayana Junior College which we fondly called NCJ=Narayana Central Jail

guess me with all my 'weirdness' can put forth a statment on similar lines .. life was tough there... but me miss it now...its a cycle i guess.... counting days when u r der and relishing the past when u r OUT. stronger ... much stronger feelings 4 school though... guess all junta wld agree..
"It feels just like yesterday when we all entered this place as smaller kids and now we leave with a slightly better understanding of the world..." Sergey Brins words(slightly twisted but..)(founder of google on graduation)....
well written ... does invoke feelings.. guess it hits a COMMON CHORD(RITT still rules lol)
