Life As You Know It

Sleep on many nights can be elusive but sometimes it is good for processing thoughts that gets you introspective and emotionally invested. We are all whizzing through life and time fleets. Our life resembles a to-do list and we got no time to appreciate the small priceless things in life. 

The college came to an end. Four years of inexplicable fun and it brings deluge of memories. 

You are sick and making your own breakfast, you are surely growing up. You are learning, meeting new people and exploring every bit of it. You crib, get distraught but every single experience helps you grow up and discover yourself. 

The four years of insanity, fun, outlandish behavior, rommie squabbles, insipid hostel food, landlord bickering, the girlie gossips, drunken nights of revelry, 4am coffee conversations, exam trauma, sneak-outs, midnight hunger pangs (maggi maggi maggi), late night drives, late night hunting for grub, the tears, the heartbreaks, endless drama, getting into whacko laughing spells, impromptu trips and bunking every single boring sleep-inducing lecture. Ah, every nerve ending in my body is filled with nostalgia. 


With a blink of an eye, minutes turn into memories. I am sure everyone reading this would want to rekindle those memories. 

Life changes so much with tons of responsibilities whether you are a corporate slave or running your own business. 

Sometimes I don't want to grow up. I want to hold on to that life which seems like an all together different life without any rules and repercussions. I wish those years could be relived. Because we never realize when life changes from chasing dreams to chasing reality. 

But this is life that makes you stuck in a rut and it grows on you. All of us are going hammer and tongs to achieve something in life or settle down. And this is real life!


Life which was in cocoon breaks out of the shell now. The place where I went as a teenage girl and came out as an individual. It makes me happy and today I cannot let any force suffocate my individuality. I can endure any hardship and I accept the bad with dignity. I am proud of what I am today standing tall like a pillar in the crowd, little cynical but emotionally challenged.  

Hats off to my college life which has taught me so much. I am living my life with panache and I do everything in life with aplomb and smile in this insane and nasty world. 

All we have are the sweet and sour memories with loads of experiences. Memories to cherish. 

Cheers to college life!
