eNd oF rOad?
How many times in life have we reached cul-de-sac making our way through unknown terrains? Just that you can take a U-turn and trace your path back. Today i traversed one such road and reached the final destination, this journey took 4 revolutions around the sun gosh!!! tht is sumthin of gr8 ardour. The journey i must admit worth taking, a road that bent its way from fond and beautiful memorable times to times i would never want to remember; a road that made way through the funniest situations to the most embarrassing moments (though hvnt taken a dip in our holy college fountain), a road that showed me how arbit life is but also made me understand real meaning of life, a road where i made many friends but the same road where i have left some behind or rather may be better put as i was left behind ( damn i thot slow and steady wins the race), a road that started in teens n now seems to be taking new turn when i hv left my teenage cynicism long behind, the same road tht jammed with traffic during exam days (happens wen ppl call up to ask smallest of doubts) to times where i have been a lonely walker....
Sometimes i took off the road resting in the pit lane, giving a look who all are around, who all stop by wen my tyre punctures ;) hahaha, sometimes i pressed the accelerator hard to cover up my distances, sometimes i have helped people come back on track, n frankly could have caused some to go off, but then everything neutralizes in the end the law of averages would hold more and more true as i parse this road to the end destination.
The journey has given me so much to learn i can never forget these lessons, lessons in form of persons and persons in form of lessons; situations in form of lessons, lessons in form of situations; and finally lessons in form of lessons. It has been a long time when i first hit this road but then this isnt simply the end of road, its like a ring road in delhi that goes on and on though all commuters around u change, some ppl give u company for long, some vanish in the crowd only to be discovered at some red light. But this chance seems rare ateast on delhi ring road since the flyovers have come up. But this is life and no ring road where the mudrika buses keep stopping seening every probable passenger (friends in life), though i think i would stop by to think about my loved ones, friends et al but the hard fact of life is the road does go on only to find new ones, but who still cant replace the old ones.....
This is what i am doing now switching roads only to find my dynamic destination, n wen i find it only to take on another journey towards another destination....the road never ends....

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."
PS- today i gave the last of my exams related to engineering from a gr8 institute NSIT and now i m swithching lanes joining a b-school another gr8 one MDI. I carry sweet memories along with fonder still to come......

Awesome post dude! As I read it, I could identify with it all the way through. These 4 years have left an indelible mark on our lives....and have left us with some happy and sad memories. But the important thing is, we're still alive!! :-)
