Those were the days..

Those were the days.
The days when I woke up at 8:30 in the morning and waited for harsha to come pick me up.
The days when, we ended up at college at 10:30.
The days when, we used to run around, hiding from the princi.
The days when we walked into class at random.
The days when we begged and pleaded for attendance.

Those were the days...
The days when we came up with fancy excuses to bunk class.
The days when we tried to forge signatures to get out of college.
The days when we enjoyed the grand lunches at the placement office.
The days when we won those basketball matches.

Those were the days...
How i miss those days! The days when we tried all kinda fancy gimmicks. The days when we ran around for Carpe Diem. The days when we lost all that money. The days when we shot that movie. The days when we worked night and day for the VLSI conference.
Those were the days...

The days when we sat studying together late at nights.
The days when I had to go back home in the chilly night.
Those were the days....

How I wish they were back! How i wish we could do it all over again. How I wish, we were never separated.
But life moves on.
Just reminiscing...

Thanks for the great times guys.

Home..

Its been a long time since i wrote here.
A lot has happened since i bought that domain name. With lofty dreams, i came here hoping to fulfill them.
And now as time moves on, they are on the verge of being shattered. Flew across 8000 miles, almost 18 countries, 3 continents, one big ocean and now what. To have them all being blown to smithereens, as I watch.Its not been easy.
For the first time, I come out from home. Away from the shell that surrounded me and protected me from the big bad world. Here I am, out in the open, vulnerable to all the challenges and the perils out there in the open. And its not a nice feeling, I tell you. Every time, I have a couple of hours to waste, my thoughts invariable drift back to college days and the stuff that I enjoyed doing so much. Its all coming back and makes me feel horrible. I wanna go back. But then once engrossed in work, I hardly seem to notice it.

Today, as I write this, I have an exam lined up for this week and a bunch of assignments and an horrible lab. The workload is sometimes unbearable. They always spoke of the light at the end of the tunnel, but funnily, I dont seem to be able to find it. Its a long way away and they tell me, I'm gonna enjoy it once this is over, but why cant I enjoy it while I'm doing it?

I wanna go back home. Back to my shell, where no one cared of what I did, or how I did it.
I wanna go back home now.
