last class.......




i am writing one of my last few articles to be updated in this blog. i have to say good bye to this blog, once m officially out of this institute. my main motive behind starting this blog was to capture some of my wonderful memories of my final year. i guess, i have fulfill that to quite a good extent. so where do i go from here? well i got few plans in my mind, like starting a new blog on environment or maybe continue with my blog "worker". though nothing decided yet.

today was a special day for me. I attended my last class at IIT Guwahati. It was an environmental management class by Dr. Chandan Mahanta. i would not say i enjoyed attending the class(there were just 3 students attending) but i felt sad after the class. the thought of no longer having to attend classes did make me feel nostalgic.

in few days to come m going to write my last end semester exam at IITG. though i havent started my preparation yet, but i dont want flunk in my last end semester exams and contaminate the wonderful memories i have of IITG life. got to write my last exams with my best effort, after all, exams are exams.

this semester has been a dream sem, not just because it is my final sem, but for various "first timers" i tried in this sem. i sat for my first job interview, dance for the first time, did a ramp walk for the first time and almost proposed a girl for the first time(though i didnt actually proposed but that's the closest i have gone ever). i could not have asked for better ending to my journey at IITG than this. thanks @ Life.

sports and me

i think my life at IITG is incomplete without talking abt sports@IITG. before coming to IIT, i never thought that i would become an active sport person as i have become now. infact, i have become a sport addict.

of all the sports that i play, tennis is the game that i have started the latest(4 years back) and is something that have attracted me the most. when i am out at the court, my mind forgets abt every happening of the world and just thinks abt my next shot. infact, there had been times when i couldnt stop myself from coming to the court even though a week later i had my end semester exams. or sometimes, i would make my mind "not to play", but when my mobile rings and ravi(my tennis patner) calls me up for the game, all i could do is to say "hey man m coming in 15 mins". besides playing, i also enjoy watching tennis matches. infact, in the last 4 years, i could hardly remember any grand slams that i didnt follow.

these days i have started to enjoy jogging too. whenever i dont play tennis, i go out for jogging in the evenings. since last few days i have started to jog at the roads of the campus as this sem being my last, jogging at the road gives me also a chance to admire the beauty of the campus. whenever i remain awake till the morning inorder to finish some assignment, i go out for jogging early in the morning(today being one of those days). i find jogging in the morning to be much more refreshing than doing so in the evening as 1.one get a chance to breathe cool and unpolluted air and 2. one also get a chance to listen to to the humming sounds made by birds.

well this brings me to the end of this article, though i have few more things running here and there in my mind, i dont want to write them now. maybe i will write abt them in few days to come.......thats all till then TC....

long goodbye to college days

it is said that time waits for no one. its our responsibility to walk along with time. in everyone's life, time comes when he has to say goodbye to his present world and enter an unknown world. well, that time has come for me too. in few days m going to graduate and say bye to a place that has been my home for the last 5 years of my life. i fell sad sometimes thinking abt it. sometimes when i sit alone in the lab at night, i start to realize how much i am going to miss this lab, my lab comp, my cabin.

these days i have stop jogging at the athletics ground and instead i jog on the roads of our campus. m going to continue it for the rest of my days at iitg. jogging on the road allows me to associate myself more to the beauty of this campus. it also allows me to fill more wonderful memories of this institute in my mind.

today nitin was telling me abt how much he is going to miss his friends and how his journey was being made easy with the support of his friends. though he was drunk when he said that, i am sure he meant each and every word of it.i think our college life is never that easy, but with the support of our friends , the journey becomes a memorable one. i have made some great friends here. some of them i guess, might be in touch for the rest of our lives and to some i might no longer see them again(i pray that does not happen). that's the sad part abt life. guys m going to miss u all and love u all. there are also guys whom i could not be friends with in spite of me putting some effort to be so, maybe some of us are never made to be friends, guys i m going to miss u guys too.

looking ahead, i sense some fear abt my future. u start to ask urself "am i going to get job?", " am i going to do well in job?" and all sort of questions comes here and there now a days. i guess that natural.

still got few days left here, so lot of enjoyment left..........

crazy life

life can be crazy sometimes. sometimes, things just suddenly come out of nowhere and change ur life.like for example, in life one aims to be something and some of us ended up becoming something else. he does things to achieve something and in the end, he achieves something else.........

at this moment, i want to reflect of some of the good things that life has endowed me with. sometimes, i guess we people(including me) are so used to talking of all unwanted things that life surprises us with that we forget abt all the good things that life has provided us with. first thing abt life that i would like to mention and thank life is for providing me with all the organs and body parts that any ideal human body should have. i have seen people in my life born without legs, without eyes, without tongue and in some cases with no legs and hands. just wonder how these guys might be living their lives. at least, i am lucky enough not to fall in any of the above category.

during my school days, i was never a good student, i can recall from class II till class VIII, there haven't been a year when i passed the annual examination without consideration(i.e promoting u to next class in spite of failing in some subjects). none including me was expecting myself to pass my 10th board exams with even some 50 percentage marks. but things were not suppose to happen as it was expected and things started to turn around. suddenly our principal of the school got transferred and we got a new principal. he name was Bro. Albert, he was just 27 years old when he came to our school as a principal and was very strict and disciplinary man. initially no one including me like him. slowly with time we started to bond together and we became sort of a friend and suddenly i started to like studies, and this was the turning point of my life. i passed out my 10th my 71 percentage marks. though this percentage might sound small for some of us, it was huge for me. after my board exams, i had to leave the school but his principles remained with me and by following his principles i passed my 12th exam and cleared JEE. sometimes i wonder what would have happened to me had I would have not met Bro Albert? had i would have been here? well that's a big question mark. that why i feel that life is crazy, certain things come out of nowhere and after that ur life is no longer the same.

today, i sit in my room alone wondering abt my long future. after 1 and a 1/2 month, m going to graduate and then what next? job, well i dont have job. so what else? i guess life has some surprise for me.

the last five years of my life had been a wonderful learning experiences. i believed things that i have learned in past 5 years are going to shape my future. m looking forward for my life after graduation. but before that, i got to live my last few and wonderful days left at IIT Guwahati.
