Hasta la Vista Baby :)

Aha. Finally Exams ended. I don't recall, when was I last so happy, when final exams ended. :)
But now slowly, the realization that with exams ,my college is also complete. I am graduate. (OK, unofficially only!) but yes I'll get clean-chit of being a graduate and get my degree.
3-years back, when school was about to finish, i always said I'll never miss my school days. and people around me, always said, bet you'll miss it. they are your school memories of past 13 years. but i was stubborn that I'll never miss it. and yes, till date i don't miss it. and will never miss it. but i miss my school and not school days.

And now when college has ended too..I'm sure I'll never miss my college. Throughout third year, i always kept saying one thing, thank god college is ending, Had it been more than a 3-year course, i would definitely left my degree in between and left the college. i can't stand that place anymore. Thankfully, my journey with that place is over. :)

But, I'll miss my college days. At least, I'll miss meeting Poulomi every morning with the biggest grin on my face. I'll miss asking her when will our college end. i will miss giving her high-fives for nothing and everything. i will miss the little-bit college gossip we do. I'll miss cribbing about people whom i never liked. i will miss laughing-like-i-never-laughed. i will miss meeting Sandeep and wishing him every morning. i will miss shubhangi too, her silliest things she does at time. I'll will miss the squirrels to whom i used to feed from kurkure to Maggie to kit Kat to mum's cooked paranthas. i will miss being bossy at times. I'll miss get angry over the most insensitive things my classmates do. I'll miss cribbing about the teachers. I'll miss aparana mam-the cutest teacher i have ever met, i call her teddy. she's short in height and speaks as if train chooti rahi ho. aw www bahut cute hai. I'll miss sitting in the bagicheea (our college garden). I'll miss waiting when will this all get over. I'll miss the most adored place of our college-the photocopy shop in the college. in third year, every other day I'm there at he to get something or other xerox. hm mm i'll miss alot of things.

I remember it very clearly, on the second or third of college.it was raining heavily. as i was entering the class, no teacher was there in the class. very few people were there and saw a girl (name Poulomi) sitting reading some book (which i later came to know was Fountain Head!) and by just seeing her i got a vibe that she'll the best friend I'll ever have. she is a genuine person. ( and these things doesn't happen to me everyday!) i just knew she's the best person in class. i never judge people on seeing them whether they'll be good friends or not. but on seeing that girl i just felt and knew she is. so obviously, i wanted to know her, wanted to be her friend and get along. and so i went and sat next to her. asked her name..which i never understood! and she was very very sad..and said I'll go to lsr next year come what may. i thought koi baat nahi, paagal ho gayi hai. I'll talk to her next time. But next day what i saw, blew my mind away. i saw her with the person whom i hate the most-komal i couldn't believe she was getting so well with komal! the only person i would never talk to, even if she's the last person on this planet!
I knew one thing, I'm not going to fight like kindergarten kids for yeh meri friend and all! so i just let it go and believed that 'someday' we'll for sure talk and get along very well. so i got another group of friends...and lots of things started to change.and slowly slowly 1st year ended. And while 1st year was ending...somehow Poloumi and I were talking. i don't recall, that i told her about my 1st thought about her, to her....but she says i told it to her and obviously, she was like : anybody would react like that. its natural and expected.
And in second year too, things changed alot..we were coming in terms to talking and going along well but at one time poulomi and i stopped talking at all. in fact, i ignored her. i stopped contacting her. taking her calls. and never ever said even hi in college. i did feel very bad and guilty for it.
but then one day in second year. it was in November...after watching a movie (won't name the movie here, ha ha ha ha) i contacted poulomi again and told her everything why i ignored her.everything. and apologised for my behavior. i told her i always wanted us to be good friends and get along very well. and since that day.... we are friends like we-know-each-other since ages. she's the best person i have ever known. exactly what i felt on that 1st day. the most genuine person. my best friend. second year..third year..both were roller coaster years but poulomi has stood by me in thick and thin like no-one has.tolerated my tantrums, my over-reactions, my stupidity. everything.
The reason i have written about this story here is cause this is one integral part of my college days. the one person whom i met through this college..whom i treasure as a friend for-ever.my life time friend. :)

In last three yers, besides things have changed..i too have changed as a person.how was in school, how i am today..are very two different Neha. no, the basic neha is same. but i'm much more confident now. more more smart now. i stick to my decisions now. i'm much more responsible for my actions now. I'm grateful now. And I Stay hungry and Foolish now. :P
