Reflections...

The past two-three days, I have received a lot of new year messages each wishing a lot of moments to cherish in the upcoming years. My mind, instead of looking ahead, went an year back and wandered through the memories that the last year offered me!

I was in a terrible state in the beginning with a helluva confusion about my career. To leave Physics after five years of slogging was a tough decision to make but I guess, this time around, I could finally bid adieu to this confusion which had been upsetting me for almost the last one and half years or so..

Brother's wedding bells rung in early march and the frequent trips to home were great fun! Also, gave me the opportunity to get myself updated with the latest family/relatives news which you loose out staying away!! :)

After the semester got over, we planned a small two day trip to Agra and fatehpur sikri. Eight enthusiastic guys with a lil taste in history plus the magnificent Taj and the Mughal architecture meant an amazing trip and it, indeed, was. In May, met few college friends in CP during one of my rare day outs while I am at home. What I distinctly remember about that day is the one hour walk around CP, talking with Alok about 'n' number of things and it was quite relieving. Thanks to Prachi (who convinced me to go) and Sunit (the organisor), I went on the Rafting trip with my school group and had an AWESOME time!! Everyone should go rafting atleast once!

At the end of first quarter, when I was done with my doubts, I started looking for an internship to get an acquaintance with the corporate world. Applied for almost 2 months continuously without any success. Got extremely bugged and just when I had given up, Alok and Shashwat made sure that I get a chance to intern with Deloitte. The next one and half months were probably the bestest time of the year!! The stay in Katwaria is definitely among the top answers to the query: Things you would remember for life!! And I guess that says it all.

Met Shivam after almost an year and it felt as if "kal hi toh mile thay!" Its effortless and thats the best thing about it. Back to IIT, third semester was pretty boring. The night out at Ritwik's place in october break was again a moment where my memory slowed its pace and made me recall the convo. It was good to realize that some people do understand others even when they are not in touch.

Well, I have almost given the whole account of the last year but refrained myself from talking about the "not so good" times. It's good in a way.. All in all, the last year had a lot to offer: There were times when I was happy and times I was sad.. Times I was content and times I was angry... Times I rejoiced and times I wanna forget.. Times when I liked everything and times I hated them...Times I had fun and times I was bugged... Times I wanna share and times I won't... Times when I expected a lot and times I realized the limits.. and a lot other times when a vortex of feelings passed through.. But, I just hope there was never a time when I didn't grow!!!
