Today calls for some thoughts. Just as the numbers on the dial of some fancy watches glow up in the dark....likewise memories splattered across the canvas of the past sometimes glow up at times...and everything freezes and one is left stranded in the islands of time. Tonight is my last at NIT Rourkela...some friends have already left...some are leaving. Sadness & nostalgia fills up the air...I'm normally not very demonstrative of my feelings...unable to cope with them I shrink away & lock up myself in my self...and brood in the solitude of my room. Typing on my computer I remember the very first time I was exposed to computers in this place & knew nothing about it save the tiny "e" icon on the desktop as that was all I had used till then(in the cybercafes).

NIT taught me life...it put me up against & together with the best of minds...people who taunted you because they cared too much about you....people who could drown you with their "natural" sugary friendship just because they would back stab you a few moments later. It loosened me up...at the same time making me cautious. Looking back the 4 years look fuzzy & foggy because the its all too recent & too intense. Maybe sometime later I will look back with different eyes & see different things. But now all I can see is the smooth carefree past gliding away & all my anger melts away & I just wish like Dr.Faustus that this night may go on & on and may never end....
