29th-31st that was all i stayed in bangalore and met my friends whom may be i saw all together for the last time. after this all will go on their own way and all of them coming together even on a reunion is impossible cz we were from different places....but those few hours in college i throughly and completely enjoyed. It was awesome making those old jokes and seeing those teachers and telling them about what we are doing. some of my friends got into jobs and it was fun to hear them having the same kind of trouble that i was facing. Really felt bad for all those classmates who could not receive the degree this time. I am really lucky to have been in this college which really gave us a royal send off. Like one of my friends said that Universities in India do not have such Convocations but i was lucky to have one. i clicked one of those funny pics with the degree in hand, wearing the the robe and the hood too!!
When i went up on the stage to receive my degree and looked back i could not see my parents in the crowd but i knew that the two people in their who were most happy and smiling ear to ear were my parents. It was perhaps one of my happiest moments in life when i saw my dad smiling holding on to my degree as if it was his own. It truly is his achievement more than mine. During dinner when one of my teachers came forward to greet us and spoke about me having great potentials i could literally see the pride in my dad's eyes and there is nothing more rewarding than that.
I still remember the first day that i went to the college for admission on my brothers bike and the last time i left it too was on my brothers bike and it was pouring like anything. The first day changed my life for two years when i was studying there and the second changed my entire life from now onwards...
