leaving the hostel

It seems only a few weeks ago when we first stepped in to the hostels. Most of us had no previous experience of staying in hostels and were intimidated at first with the prospect of staying together. But for all of us it has been a learning experience filled with tons of happiness and camaraderie. For all the trying times we have all faced there have been equal or more fun filled moments which will be cherished for a long time to come.

We came to our rooms with some clothes and some dreams. Now we leave with some of the dreams fulfilled, new clothes (most of the old ones having been donated or lost) and new dreams and most important of all- so many memories. Happy ones which bring a nostalgic smile a dreamy stare, sad one which bring a tear and a crooked smile embarrassing moments which bring a mocking smile and the stupid grin on our faces. But these memories help us navigate the darkest hours and will probably be the silver linings of all our future lives.

Leaving friends at the end of these four years- eventful four years-friends you shared some indelible memories is a painful experience. But the thought that once in your future we shall meet again in some corner of the world where our paths are destined to cross is what keeps us going. When we say our goodbyes we do not even know whether we shall see them again for the rest of our lives, but the believe that we shall helps us make it through.

To all my friends (who i know will never read this post) I salute you all at your talents and your thank you all for your friendship.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being there at my darkest hours. I salute you.
I am grateful to this college not for making me who I am but for introducing me to such people and making them my friends.

I hope I shall one day in some way repay you all in kind and tell you all how much I have loved you all.
