Last Day of Attendance......

As I entered the Computer Lab 2 as usual, unaware of the fact that today was the last time i was entering the lab with the same people.... Our BIC announced that today was the last day of attendance and started calling our names...
"Aditya..." "Present Sir...."
"Amir..." "Present Sir..."
"Avinash..." "present Sir..."
.......
.......
"Sudeep..." "Absent..."

The attendance too went normal... Prabeshna Didi as usual started collecting the activity chart as soon as it got over... she knew she was doing it for the last time!!! I always felt lazy about the activity chart but today I wasn't... I wrote it in the best possible way... honestly [maybe for the first time in CCCT] The activity charts were there in front of our BIC and he was busy correcting those...

A thought ran to my mind..."A last lab talk session...??" I looked around and saw friends in their own busy life... chatting and discussing over topics like interview,[which was the most hot topic today] someone talking about clearance... some not at all bothered and someone longing to be on Facebook again...

I recalled back... some days back... BIC taking attendance...
"Amir.... Amir.... Amirrrr...." "oh... Present Sir..."
"Sleeping again?? no attendance for you today..."
This scene will never ever occur with me again in CCCT... Noone will be bothered... Who will make me stand the next day of the bunking and ask "Where were you yesterday?" and the funny answer from me... "Sir... diarrhoea..."

BIC gave us some lecture and the last sentence... "Ok... you can leave now... Best of Luck for your life..." I felt so insecure... i dont know why... i was never a too moody guy but i never had this kinds of feeling before...ummm actually i never had this kinds of friends...

Very soon we were out from the Computer Lab... I was thinking, will I ever enter this lab again...? Even if I do, it will never be the same... never...
We will never see our C.R. Aditya running around making funny faces....
We will never tease Bimal with all those strange names...
I will never ask Rejina to look happy as she was always tensed and sad...
We will never see Prabeshna Didi collecting our activity chart....
I will never ask for thought for the day again...
Pravesh will never ask me about Facebook activity...

There were many things I will never do again and will never ever occur.... Though this things were not so big and not too important when it was there but i learnt that those were the small things simply adding sweetness to our lives and making it so lively and cheerful... I will always miss those moments... those labtalks, activity charts, thought for the day, those halla and discussions going on in labs, those tensions and fear and everything that is attached to it....

and I learnt that life goes on like this... and we should move on..... and who wants to reinvent the wheel twice?? I dont...

Three years in CCCT.....

Donno how the 3 years have passed out here. Remember the day when I came here for the first time with my father for filling up the admission form. Some seniors[maybe the 3rd year students] were standing outside with loads of books, the size of which I had never seen before.... now I can guess those books were VB.Net Books or ASP books and I am sure they had a good time getting scolded from John sir while issuing those... haha... I felt: 'NO WAY! I'm not gonna study here...' kinda afraid... of the infrastructure.

Came here, remeber the first day at mess... afraid to go inside... everyone looking puzzled. The rope-in program and the introduction.... haha.... a feeling of fear everyday.... those treasure hunts and talent hunts, everything's captured in my mind. Slowly days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months... seniors became friends and then the real CCCT life began..

Files... sessionals... labtalk... everything was new... though copped up with time... Fears injected in our mind in the name of Anup Sir, Bijoy Sir and Subodh Sir.... I was afraid to go near them... Then came the main villian like it comes always at the end of the movie.... semester exam.... oops those one night study... sometimes I wonder how I did it.... those 14 subjects... anyway now its gone....

We were 45 students in DCST at the time of admission but at last, mere 26 were remaining.... many fiends got year backed... included all my best friends of that time... Those crying and tears in DE lab... those little words of sympathy still lingers around my mind... People say "failure is the pillar of success..." or "to fail is an oppurtunity to begin again..." all this sentence seems to be quite strong and nice but when the time comes to accept it into life, it never seems true... failure was failure.... that I came to know those days.... :(

But all those bitter moments made us strong and we accepted them. I wonder if friends like them will ever come to my life again....... I cherish being in their company forever...

....and my life goes on!!!

Alarm rings...... I hate it... open my eyes unwillingly..... i see the watch and time is 8:00.... extend it to 10 more minutes and again sleep.... feels so good when you know you can sleep for some couple of minutes right?? My room partner shaking me reminding me of the time.... i dont bother to even open my eyes coz i have full faith in ma alarm.... coz that is waking me up everyday form the last so many years though i never wake up to it.....

Hesitatingly i wake up at 8:15 and move to the bathroom with towel and brush just to know that there's no water. A chill runs through my spine.... i am afraid if i have to go to college without brushing?? Then i run to the bathroom at the other corridor but no, same condition there too..... I have to look in the bucket of my friends if they have kept some water for emergency...ha..ha.. coz i know they will never give me if i ask them.... noone will.....

After managing somehow with a jug of water I come to ma room and see my room partner has bought some tea for me.... not that he is so kind and understanding but because we have turn for bringing tea.... Since I am always late in the morning and never manage to go for breakfast so he brings tea everyday in the morning and i have to do the same in the evening.

After taking some sip of the hot tea [feels like you are drinking some kinda cough syrup... just sugar,nothing else] in a hurry i reach assembly.... bells already gone and everyone is assembled...i sit in the last row .... assembly starts and finishes.... i am lucky that noone asks me what was the thought for the day or the news coz i never hear that....

Class starts.... again the tension.... the torture.... prabeshna didi.... yelling over nothing..... Rajani didi.... like a dynamite.... gets angry so often.... Kalpana didi.... smiling at everything..... Sokpa.... nowadays so serious... Bimala.... one of the most humerous guy ever born..... Pravesh.... FB guru... somehow time passes... yawning.. doing quarrels.... doing photosessions... making jokes of each other... laughing and enjoying.....

5 pm... and the bell tolls... automatic smile comes to my face.... run to hostel... tired and exhausted but i have to get tea for my roompartner.... i goto terrace to see the shading sun.... feels so good.... i like to sit there looking at those blissful moments forever.... i come back to my room somewhat refreshed as if my loads went away with that orange sun....

I come back to my room... open my door.... loud music going on... from some heavy/black metal bands.... Bullet for my valentine or Cradle of Flith... screaming.... feel like running away... at first i used to reduce the sound but now i am used to it.... i smile and start changing dress in rhythm.... tears dont fall.... they crash around me.... [songs going on] :)

By now... its already 6:15 pm... getting refreshed takes another 30 minutes and then talking[we guys dont do gossiping.... its for girls....] with friends about various issues....[as if it were so important and we are gonna change it..]. Its dinner time.... we go for haunting of butter, chilli, pickles..... after dinner our CCCT hostel life begins....

When people goto bed, we are not even sure whether we will sleep or not..... good/brilliant guys will start writing files or studying.... game freak[have never seen one like my room partner...] busy with some games.... RAW, Prince of Persia teasing me for playing something like stick cricket and fruitsmash... coz i never play what he plays and the reason i say is "i dont have interest"....[the true reason is i can never beat him in computer games and i dont wanna show that...ha..ha..]

There are also some people who are a complete movie freak.... the ones like Bimala.... coming asking for a pen drive or a movie.... how i came to know that he is a movie freak?? thats a long long story... someday i am gonna say it but not now. He has seen all the series of horrors, korean, comedy[American Pie specially]... and what all i can name... evrything but still he searches for the movie every night...

Oops i lost the track... what i was saying?? ummmm..... yes i am always busy on the internet downloading all that i think is useful.... Many times i am on some programming sites though i cant stay there for a quite too long haha.... Amit Kumar by my side always on youtube.... though we know we have to submit file the other day... we are so brave to face it..... :)

Its 1 am... time for us to sleep..... then we switch off the light though amit is still talking to someone on the phone... i slip under the blanket and dont know when and how i feel asleep....

Just seems that an hour has passed and the alarm rings again..... time is already 8:00am ...again the cycle continues..... and my life goes on!!!!
