Nostalgia

A thought has been occupying my mind for quite some time lately..

Its related to the fact that me alongwith hundreds of my friends in Mumbai University across several colleges are gonna graduate in about a month
People keep saying that we are really going to miss all the things we went through and experienced in engineering..
I hear Somaiya-ites from my college K.J Somaiya College of Engineering echoing this sentiment all the time these days..
The thought is captured fabulously in this blog by an ex-student..

And i wonder..

Are these the feelings that we really have? Are we really missing the submissions, the boring lectures, the tyrannical attendance regulations, and the constant pressure to perform in the exams?

Right.

Didnt think so!

So the memories we carry from the past 4 years are more likely going to be in the category of- canteen lukkhagiri, bunking, proxies.. you get the idea..
But even so i doubt these are the reasons we are bound to get teary eyed for..later on..

These are simply symbolic..for our lives till we graduate..
An existence completely sheltered from the big bad world where competition is lurking at every step of the way.. in your career and in your life ..

Never do we get to come back to this protected environment, and hence we will always remember this phase of our life with fondness

There is something of some relevance to the point - although moot - you make in the post.
