He was a hard-worker, and that had brought him to the best
college in the country.
The first day, when he held the college map in scrutiny,
he felt a lump in his throat, jumbled emotions of happiness and anxiety ran
throughout his body.
The next year, when he took his juniors throughout the
campus, he smiled to himself thinking of how humongous the college appeared on
his first day, and wondered how he was affiliated to its nook and corners in a
year's time.

4 years of ardent learning and the desire to achieve the
unreachable heights, revealed him to the best recruiters and within the campus,
his future was mapped to excellence.
Today, as he wiped of his welled eyes to catch a better
glimpse of his college, when his private chopper flew above it, the college was
growing smaller and smaller but the vision it gave, grew wiser and sharper!

I can totally relate to this post. Every part of it. I used to feel bewildered by the size of the college when I entered. When I went back for the second year it felt like home. When I went for convocation, I felt grateful for the world view it gave me
ReplyDeleteSo true pawan, i was in the same college for 5 years, and then was blessed with the opportunity of working as a substitute lecturer. Each time, U.G, P.G and at work, it gave me lessons which i cherish for a lifetime :)
