Life @IT-BHU

So..., soon we would be leaving BHU ,it has been a great life so far,enjoyed each n every moment @BHU , now the thought of leaving it makes me sulk into sadness, the heart has started behaving like a child who gets lured by the candy offered by his father to go out with him but he still doesn't want to leave his mother,these are the contradictory feelings of sadness for leaving the campus n excitement of starting a professional life which lures u with financial and self independence.It's not gonna be too hard a task as approx. 20 of us( n some of my gud frnds) would be moving to NCR,and i m really looking forward to it.It's got to be pretty exciting but there r some parts which are really gonna be missing and couldn't be found elsewhere.The comforting aura of the campus (i once even slept on the benches of LC at night :)), careless attitude(you don't want to go to class or lab..koi nahi proxy lag jayegi,"yaar 25 din se ek hi
jeans pehen raha hoon","3 weeks se shave nahi ki","4 months se haircut nahi hue",to me even wearing shoes now seems to be a demanding job,just walk into slippers anywhere u want),simplicity(life seems to be sophisticated in future), the exciting cricket matches(the most to be missed) n driving activa on the 3rd lane of BHU in heavy rain just to enjoy coffee at nescafe,chai-samosa at LC,chai-toast at gowdolia,"paan" at ravidas gate,saturdays parties @CB,dance n daaru parties,spending hours at ghats discussing girls , career, girls, exams, girls, cricket n again girls, the soothing air n calm water of the ganges has often provided solace to agitated soul,the Dev-Diwali of Varanasi(it's incredible, the beauty of ghats is irresistible,hope i any how do visit it every year)the peaceful ambience of VT where u can pass hours sitting, bird watching at VT(... i don't think this is gonna be missed .... jahan char yaar mil jaye ...wahi
shuru kar denge yeh to ..).

I was total whimsical here( truth is i could afford to be), most exciting being the incident wen i left the bicycle i bought in 1st year(red coloured BSA SLR) into the stands of hostel n never went back to pick it ... i was not alone in this another great pesonality Rahul pandey did the same... there was even notice from the Director's office,but look at the attitude we even ignored him..no one gives us notice.......Next was to try the german classes ...n why...interested in german or for that sake of matter in any other foreign language..no..the only reason was that the german classes were to be held in art department BHU, so it would be a VIP pass for bird-watching but bad luck there wasn't even a single good looking bird to bind our attention to the class... n
hence the 2 years diploma course was successfully completed in 1 month 17 days,the only single sentence i could learn was "Ich liebe Dich"(i love u). Now it was the time to learn guitar...guitar sounds cool but have u ever played any musical instrument other than your pen cap before ... no but it doesn't matter like every 4th guy of IT i too tried learning guitar and the only thing i could learn was how to hold guitar n 1234..4321..i also got some knowledge of chords n difficulty level of guitar( My serious advice to all beginners try learning guitar only wen u r passionate). The only feather to my cap was to taking swimming lessons,this was something i did good,but it was quite embarrassing at the pool,small kids who were half my height n 1/4 of weight did better
than me...but i can proudly say that i can survive in water till the rescue team shows up n pulls me out.Even tried to hit the gym but could only make it for a day.


It was the first time i moved out of home.It has been like a second home to me.As was said in Forest Gump "life is a box of chocolates" ,BHU gave me the best chocolates from the box.It helped me tranform from a kid to a young man who can take responsibities,it changed me from a spoonfeeded child who didn't even go for buying his own clothes to someone who can now take his decisions,it made me realise the importance of friends n family in life..when we are far
from someone we realize his/her importance better, it taught me the value of smile wat ur smile means for ur loved ones,it taught me the value of friendship how some guys from cities all around india just become inseparable,it changed me from an introvert person who didn't like attending any weddings or functions or travelling out,to someone who now likes to party n just needs a sign to start adventures.Life has always been a hard master for me,but this time the hard master brought lovely gifts for every success. The lines of the song college days "I am really gonna miss this place, i gonna miss my college days", describes the emotional state of all the hostelers n mine too.Life at BHU has been quite significant to me...Last 3 years have been the best of my life.This beautiful n careless phase of life will soon end but it promises to bring more of them.
As once a poet said "In the sweetness of friendship let there be
laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed".

I just want to wish u all best of luck for ur future endeavours and May God bless u,and i want to apologize if by chance i ever hurt you....n thank you all for being a part of my life :)
