Relic

It seemed that degree was a relic. We came from all over in search of that piece of paper. Four years and we were through the most importnat phase of our lives. The most important from all perspectives, be it professional, emotional or personal. We all witnessed so many things and were part of a myriad happenings and events that criss crossed our lives. We all were through crests and troughs, sometimes alone sometimes together. We found ourselves surrounded by friends and foes and also found ourselves at times alone. This 4 year perios was a perfect example of a painting which was really colorful having all colors from dark to bright. The shades were perfect, sometimes dark n hard stokes sometimes subtle n soft strokes. They depicted harmony and cacophony at the same time in our lives.

It was painful parting ways in May 2006 after being together for 4 years. It was painful on this 15th January also. Which was more painful? I am not in a position to decide now. Maybe the May06 was more.

That feeling of waering cloaks n reaching up to the stage to recieve that degree was exciting and the enthusiasm was at its peak when we were all hustling each other in the group photograph. Everyone was pressing everyone and a wide smile ws on all's face.

Theres a lot which got buried with that convocation. A lot which will be buried deep in my heart. I wont let it go away but I will preserve all those memories. Relationships were forgotten and broken in those 7 months after May06 and people made new relationships. It was again happiness for some n distress for some. Which group I come is what I should keep upto myself. But those whjo know me and my writtings will be able to know which group I came in.

I am upto more writtings on convocation and college in days to come so keep hooked to read more.
