Feelin' good!

I've been think of blogging about this last weekend, but this week time just seemed to slip by and before I knew it, weekend was here again.

Last saturday wasn't like a typical weekend. The experiences of that day made me feel happy, special and nostalgic and also made me realised how life has changed dramatically.

After weeks of postponing, two of my friends and I visited our college last Saturday to get our T.C.s . It was the first time I was going to college after becoming a 'techie'. Even though it was a place I went to everyday till four months back, last Saturday was a totally different experience.

Though the college did not change a bit, my perspective of it did. The minute I stepped into the gates, I had a strange feeling- I could no longer feel the connect with our college. In one of my previous blog posts, I had mentioned that the college was like a second home to me. I no longer had that feeling. What worried me was that I had absolutely no feeling.

After reaching college, we roamed around the campus for sometime and headed our way for taking the T. C. s. After the work was done, I did not feel like leaving the place somehow and longed to be there for some more time.

We then decided to pay a visit to our 'D' block and greet our lecturers. The way the lecturers treated us was a huge surprise- while one even ordered coffee for us, the others gave us a warm welcome and were happy for our achievements. It then dawned on me that we were now working and no longer students of the college, but 'alumni' :(

On our way back, I suggested to my friends that we sit at the back of the ‘Shankarpalli’ auto, dangling our legs...coz who knows, it might be the last time we would get such a chance. As the auto started and the college began to disappear into the distance, I felt a small pinch in my heart and at the same time couldn’t help but smile at the way things have changed so much in a matter of a few months.

We then went to Eat-Street at Necklace Road- our 'adda'. Although only 10 of us managed to be there, it was wonderful to be seeing my college friends again after so many days. I must say we had a whale of a time! This was followed by some shopping at Central and I went back home feeling tired and happy.

Even though I’ve been working for a few months now, it never really dawned on me as to how much has changed, pretty much because home is always the same. But, it took me just a day at college and some time with old friends to realize this.

Last Saturday made me realize that my metamorphosis into a ‘techie’ is almost complete and had me feelin’ good!
