Happy Days

'College days are the happiest days in your life'

There ended the movie 'Happy Days', but left me living in it for a long long time. The whole time I was re-living my college days. I liked the message the movie conveyed at the end the most, it said 'you haven't come here to achieve some thing,,,it's the place where you learn being capable of achieving'. How true it is!



'SIMPLY BINDAAS'-that's the name we have given to our gang. Can never forget those dances on freshers, farewel and importantly the 'SPLASH'. The good times we had teasing others being an all girl gang. Would like to mention here the guy who has been teased by the simply bindaas the most, 'Praveen'.



It was the first day for juniors and we the 'SENIORS' planned to join them in their class to know the 'gossip' about seniors :)

I and Vijay(my classmate) were the honoured ones to be a part of their class as one among them.



I go late to the class, find a place besides a guy( who couldn't have sobbed more for being on the bench there on the ill-fated day- he probably might have started believing in vastu in chosing the place he sits in whereever he goes now :))

Me: Hi I am Swathi (didn't want to reveal my true identity ofcourse)
Him: Hi I am Praveen

Me: Howz it been so far? I am a little late
Him: Nothing important until now.

After a little chit chat on this and that he says to someone opposite to him

Him: Hey I want you to meet my 'Best friend Swathi'

Best Friend???? I met him like minutes ago...'ha ha ha got you bacchaa...' was my first thought :D that was enough to tease him for his entire course in Badruka :)

It took a while for my juniors to actually realize that I am their senior and the moment it is revealed there is no looking back,,,

Had the greatest time of my life in my MBA, ofcourse in engineering too. But I liked the courses in MBA more as they are more practical and fun. We had group discussions, debates, case studies and role plays. Laghed, laughed and laughed until our stomachs exploded :) Class room had always been a two way communication rather than one. Infact n-n communication :)

I don't think ever in your life learning would be as much fun as in college. Haven't actually realized that those few years of college have given me memories to cherish for the rest of my life. Those hang outs at tourist hotel, gokul chat and can never forget the good times we had at IMAX , it surely holds a special place in my heart, although I feel a lot of times it 's the people you hang out with that make it special rather than the place.


Life had been a boring book ever after the college chapter is over. How exciting it would have been if going back were as easy as flipping the pages back.
