Knights for Four Years

The day when I was admitted in Engineering never thought that what I was going to face in these four precious years of my Life.Though during this voyage of Engineering I saw lots of small & Big whirlpools of time,which thwarted me,thumped me hard,& examined me to extrme.I was not so mature or rather I should say was not ready for such abrupt changes .
But anyhow the time was passed on and I remind the famous saying that ‘The Time is the best Ointment’ its very true it is the best Healer.
That was a period and was over life was again on track,we were cherishing each and every moment of college life,be it ragging ,sports,cultural and fun of co-ed too.
Slowly the daily routine was fixed for budding engineering graduates bunking lectures,back bench gossips,mimicking faculties,eating spots canteens & unofficial canteens were the best places of the world to expel out your tensions (Unofficial canteens can be best defined as they are such places which are commonly found outside of each and every engineering college campus where one can found little of snacks and much of “Dhoomrapaan” )Throwing out tension in small smoke ring was the common phenomenon(Let me tell you I was just a passive smoker don’t doubt me )
Late submission of assignments,failing in internals was no big deal.
After such hectic schedule we the brave knights when return back to our Universe that we call as Wings of the Hostel, we the exploited ,humiliated,depressed transform in to the Lions of our Den’s.
Again we remain busy in loads of unfruitful businesses like sleeping,late night galas,B’day celebrations ,movies, downloadings,chatting,LAN gaming were the few which were mos popular. Studies were nowhere in the schedule ,it slowly became the One Night Stand activity.Because we have became the KnightRiders.

The day before the sessionals you can find some brave knights running in panic shouting,”Hey plz tell me the syallabus,whats coming in test”? Syallabus becomes the most important thing before the exam not the content.”hey plz give me this topic ,give me the notes for Xerox these are some favrit dialogues you hear on the eve of sessionals.

A studious guy will be definitely be amazed to see such bravery ,but to their dismays our knights anyhow managed to on the battle, though many wounds the got during these four years(wounds I hope u al know).
No matter finally ,End is Good all is Good. Suddenly the stage came when each one became conscious about their carreer’s.It was the placement season coming.
I still remember how enthusiastic we were for the first company which we were going to face.,shopping was at its peak.,everyone wanted to be dressed in best formals ,but again few of the brave knights didn’t care about that ,they were again found with same care at damn attitude running and borrowing “hey plz give me your shirt” .”hey I want your tie”
“Hey this folder is mine”, “some shoepolish I need yaar”
Finally they faced the corporate entry exams and many of them were through.for some it was hardwork worked and for few it was Luck by Chance.
Now again tha gala time began having hefty packages with them none of the knight was ready to study it was just party time ,sessionals,labs,lectures & projects were just thought to be as a formality which is to be done for the sake of just being done.
Gradually the day came when we found that four years are getting over the voyage is coming to an end.Our universe was going to be transformed ,a new breed of budding engineers has came behind us ,we are now going to face the real corporates.
For few of us it was a jubiliant moment and for some it was moment of emotional detachment because we were goin to loose everything that we shared for all these four years .An instantaneous Flashback was going infront of eyes ,every moment we spent just became alive for a moment.
But we have to depart ,in our own directions and sail along and alone. Before entering the college gate we all were students but now exiting the same gate we are the so called Engineers.
Slowly each of us is setteled in its own job ,some are persuing higher education some are still in search of right opportunity. Now in professional life we don’t have such privileges as we owed back.
Now just fainted memories are there which are just to be recollected and cherished.The virtual world of Internet is the only medium where we remain in touch with Ex-Knights.
At times if I lookback then I found that it was a wonderful voyage that I will love to sail again for four more years ,but not in this Life again. (bcoz four more years means NFTE…hehe)
