"Rain is so beautiful,
to watch it we feel wonderful.
Tap! Tap! it drops down,
we feel like drenching under it now!
Little children in their raincoats,
putting in the water their small boats!
The fresh smell of mother earth,
makes us remember a child's birth!
It comes and goes every now and then,
and always makes us wonder its gonna come when!
Rain is so beautiful,
to watch it we feel wonderful!!"
- Rajendra Hegde, Std III A
Ya you read it rite....this was poem was written by me way back in the third standard. I had won the second prize in my school at that time for this poem of mine. Today, as I finally accomplish one more milestone in my life....I feel like that kid from standard 3 all over again. (I just went down and got drenched!!) As the title reads "The dawn of a new season" what do I mean by that? Does it mean that summer has just got over and the rainy season has started....quite obviously. But in my....and many of my friends case...it also means the a new season in life. Having just finished engineering...as my friend karen aptly puts it...I am now heading towards the big bad world! What does my future have in store for me.. I can't predict that. But, what I can say..is how much am I gonna miss my good ol' college days. These few lines from Bryan Adams' "Summer of 69" aptly describes what I did in my college life..
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no
But, who the fuck cares? I had the best time of my life....did nothing great to be remembered. Ya, but will have many many great things to remember! Today when I handed over my paper to the invigilator, My heart felt heavy...Gosh its all over...no more jokes in the canteen...no more pulling legs....no more cupping...no more engineering! :'(
So here's a list of people I think who made my life in SFIT worth spending all these 4 years!!
1) Colin
2) Siddhesh
3) Anush
4) Sushant
5) Omkar
6) Steffi
7) Sheetu
8) Indu
9) Ray
10) Kiru
11) Amu
12) Ashok
13) Marwadi
14) Kale
15) Nishu
16) Deep
17) Pct
18) Tanvi
19) Pri
20) Ganju
21) Cheema
22) Jillian
23) Serena
24) Karen
25) Keshu
26) Sujay
27) Walke
28) Sucheta
29) Shenoy Sir
30) Nazneen Mam
31) Karen
32) Viral
and last bt nt the least...Sidanth Shetty!!
Am sorry if have missed out on anyone.....:)
As the run up to our farewell begins...All I would like to say is....
Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
ADIOS,
RAJ!!
