Until next time....

Second year of MBA is finally drawing to a close…
The last exams are being written…
The bags being packed… stuff being discarded… good-bye’s being said… and right now is when out of the blue the reality kicks in… we’re actually leaving this place for good. I mean … until today morning it never really struck me that I am vacating this place.. Somehow I guess I still thought that I would be coming back.. That I was going on a holiday.. But today morning….
Today morning the prayer was sung by the second years – people who sung the prayer the initial days we joined Amrita – friends of mine… my own batch mates.. they sung the Amrita prayer for the last and final time together… their voices sounded so strong and rich.. Resonant with the pride they felt reciting the hymns…
That was when it struck me.. shucks man.. we ‘re really leaving this place…
In another couple of days our hostel corridors will be empty.. no shouting from one end of the corridor to the other end… no going down to the mess for tea and food cribbing about them all the way down.. no more fear of the hostel wardens confiscating our laptops… no walks to the college through the shortcut.. no cribbing about the afternoon classes… no meeting friends at college swapping stories about the latest gossip in the hostels… no more teas at the canteen.. no more chilling out at the campus…and that’s just to say a few… :-(
Am I going to miss all this so dearly?? Well.. depends…
More than anything else I will miss my classmates here… the times I have had with them are like no other..!!!
Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will….:-)
We are a great bunch – if I say so myself..!!! :-)
But some to think of it.. I have had lots of memorable times here..!!
And I’ll definitely miss something or the other in each and every place (read the bank with the atm that never works ;), the stores, the std booth, the Xerox shop… )
And most of all the ASB building ….
This place holds a lot of memories… of times good and bad, joyous and sorrowful, frustrated and depressed… u name it.. this place has seen it all…!!!
And if there’s one this that I’ll most of all other than the people I’ve met over these past 2 years.. then it has to be this building..!!! each and every floor of this building holds some memory or other and they will always be cherished always..!!
Not only by me but by all others…. Each one will have their own stories to tell… their own memories they cherish…!!!
Until we meet again..!!

May you always have work for your hands to do…
May your pockets hold always a coin or two…
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane…
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain…
May the hand of a friend always be near you…
May the road rise up to meet you, ..
May the wind be ever at your back. ..
May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. ..
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand and fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
