The beginning of the End….”
“All good things come to an end…”
“The End is close…” No, my GTalk friend list is not suddenly having a morbid interest in the “End”… It’s a mixed feeling that most people have right now… an exhilarating feeling of nearing the completion of the one year roller coaster ride and at the same time sorrow of having to leave behind the student life yet again... and re-entering the ruthlessly competitive corporate world.Some of the craziest things we’ve done have been with people we didn’t know until a year ago… Sleeping in classes (sometimes literally!)… playing football and cricket on the concrete ground made for basketball players… club hopping on Saturday nights… utilising stale food and drinks to treat the birthday boy/girl with skin and hair therapy… chatting.. playing UNO until morning, completing assignments at the last moment… trying our best to fool turnitin… trying to imitate patented actions of friends… going for long walks not knowing where we’re heading… managing on low.. and sometimes no cash for weeks..
These ‘idiots’ we met a year ago have now become some of our closest pals. The past one year brought us close and the memories we share will be cherished lifelong. This end may not be the end at all… It might just the beginning of yet another journey where we’d again encounter strangers who we’d never want to part with… There is no dearth of nice people in this world… “The End” is just one step forward taking along all the friends and the memories to make a bigger circle... ‘cause a circle is continuous.. it has no beginning and no end.

ReplyDeleteA simple thought of reality... scientist have pondered about beginnings and ends for many years now. Some say its a pulsating thing and some believe it to have started with a big bang. Modern science believes that reality might even get lost or to put it better... get lost in one dimension but exist in multiple dimensions. bible says let there be light (big bang) and quran talks about 7 universes (proven by stephen hawkins).... leaving all this super science behind... they way u captured reality is simple and true... its a circle...looping on dimension of time.
ReplyDeletewhat we value is what we can make of what we have now...friends, age, love etc.
reality exists only for a moment... infinitely small and everything around it is the past and the future.
Very nicely put.. True! the mixed feelings haunt people now. But as u rightly pointed out, it'll slowly fade in the reality of life and v'll start worrying about parting with the next set of friends that v make wherever we go. Nice post at the right time!
