NOSTALGIA

Its the end of another phase for me, as i'm almost about to finish my engineering degree and move onto the next chapter in my life..
But as usual, just like every other end, there's that irrepressible feeling of nostalgia that just cant be quashed. A million memories come flooding in, accompanied by wishes and what-ifs. Of things that were, and things that could have been. And things that just didn't happen. And then there were those which just happened!!!!
Looking back, things are always different. If there's one thing that time does, apart from moving the clock, it makes us wiser by the second. It keeps changing our perspectives, needs and desires. What might once have been the one thing you wanted the most, seems to be pretty silly later down the line. And what looked like a mountain before, just dissolves into nothingness. Time , I tell you, is one heck of a catalyst...
All in all, I'm gonna miss my engineering days. I'm gonna miss the day dreaming, the endless laziness, the lighthearted chit chat and that unbelievable feeling of peace. I am sure I'l still have all these things with me later on, but it just wont be the same...
I'm gonna miss playing pranks, I'm gonna miss going trips and sometimes quadruples on my karizma, I'm gonna miss those frequent trips for ice cream and food with friends. And what I;m gonna miss are my spur of the moment trips which have always remained in my memories. No knowing if I'l get the same kind of leisure later on..
I've learnt a lot in engineering though, of course I'm talking about out of class stuff ;) . So many experiences and so many lessons.. It just wont be the same anymore.
But eventually, everyone will learn to move on. People steel their hearts, suppress their desires and wishes and move forward. But the funniest thing is that despite moving away, everyone will definitely have left a bit of themselves within everyone they meet. And that's whats gonna remain within everyone for ever.
I suck at saying goodbyes and pretty much hate it too. But one way or the other, its ADIOS to engineering after one month, and on with the next stage of my life, IIMB...
I have my fingers crossed guys, despite moving apart, I'm pretty sure all of our paths will coincide again. 

See you somewhere on the shores of time. 
Till then,
Its a late goodbye....
