The Days Lived !!

The world is moving fast and we are moving faster.

I'm seated on a cushioned chair that offers luxury and treats me like a king .The temperature of the air has been conditioned enough to pamper me. And as I write this now, I know, there is a possibility of the whole word reading this in a matter of minutes. The technology today, can make that possible.

I'm pampered, I'm comfortable and the whole world is out in front of me.

Then why is it that at times we feel there is something missing .A 'void'. I had read somewhere - "We are all electronically connected,yet we feel lonely" . We live in the 21st century!! The century of innovations,the century of prosperity,the century of speed,the century of new thought and the century of 'what not'!! Name it and you'll have it or at least you'll find a way to have it.

The technology has certainly helped, if it had not , I would be writing this down on a piece of paper instead,which I don't think is a bad idea either. When life gets hard and the challenges harder,  mind drifts back to those days when facing challenges was fun and challenges were challenged. Those memories is where I seek solace--The memories of the days well lived in a college!!

Its not just me ,I know.Everyone of you who have been fortunate enough to go to college ,would treasure those days.i don't mean to say that life after college is hell,of course not, Its fun too!! but, that is when you feel the 'void' I was earlier talking about.

So what about the college? The classrooms?The lecturers?The friends?The assignments?The canteen? The library?The labs?The fest? The class trips? The punishments? The last benches?The blank Notebooks?The many- first time crushes? The one lunch box and a million hands to share? The one by three lemon juice?The staying back after college hours? The exams?Getting the notes photocopied one week before the exams?Studying the night before the exams?The failing in a  paper?The smile,cos ur friend also failed?The classes bunked?The shortage of attendance?The writing of record during class hours?The fights fought?The mistakes forgiven?The group hugs?The birthday treats?The 'he has cash,so treat!'Treats? The 'he passed in one subject' treats? The 'no special reason' treats?The graduation day?The photo session?The weird poses?The tears shed?The 'we achieved the world' pride?

Well..its everything. There is a beautiful memory captured in each of these.The days not just spent, but lived!!

With this reminiscence I live, remembering what our lecturer once said, "Come what may,lets face it!!"
