Moments scattered throughout...
The things I miss most about IMT N...
A caleidoscope filled with memories... of different times, different moods and sentiments...
suddenly a picture forms out of it all... and then it starts making sense...
it gets disturbed again... and loses the meaning... to make sense after a few days again...
the campus, the lake, Panchu Bhaiya's tea stall, going to Nagpur by S.T. bus...
more than the place i think i miss the people...
going to the lake with Pankaj... and playing baddy and going for walks with Neha.. thats what i did most in my last days at IMT.. i dunno how i would have survived those lonely days in last trimester without them...
the times spent in 1st year in khushboo and anu's room... talking, laughing, doing nonense things, studying... and what not...
the antakshari sessions in bathroom...
walks in the campus at night...
b'day celebrations...
Milestone 34 ... Vendetta and Carboraiders...
my beloved CCC with all the fights and work...
going to Bangalore and Mumbai for RTCs...
KOSHISH... and Dorli kids... always close to my heart...
singing sessions by me, sheetal and shanky...
crazy times of projects and submissions...
my beloved juniors... the whole junior CCC and khoze, priyanka, prajakta...
anky's room in 2nd year.. where i wud always be wecomed by her and rachna...
sheetal's room... my secret den.. where i used to go when i needed company and when i needed seclusion... coz sheetal knew how to provide both...
summers spent at IMT when we 12 people had the whole IMT to ourselves... those late night chats sitting on the lawn... watching movies in the library... the maggie and coffee parties at midnight... watching movies all night long... asking mess staff to prepare some good meals... having a blast with buddies...
getting drenched in the 1st rain of the season in baddy court...
my Mahindra group... the way we used to get along.. me, Ashish, Shail and Amer...
walks in campus with Amer where we'd debate and discuss anything... watching together a Bengali movie by Satyajit ray with French subtitles... and discussing what was the meaning of it all...
going everyday to the placecom office to see if there r any chances of placements... (mandir mein ghanti bajane jaana...)
coffee parties with shruti n veena in our last days...
listening to old songs.. and making the whole corridor listen to them...
the great Khushboo Saxena.. my neighbour for 2 yrs and friend for ever... who was somehow disconnected in last few days...
Sheetu coming to my room when she used to feel lonely.. and discussing enlessly about anything and everything... DUNIYA bhar ki baatein...
missing Mumbai... craving for Paani Puri... going to Nagpur and eating ice cream...
.. and Pankaj... the best buddy I had there.. he was always there when i needed company.. to share, to care, to understand.. never did he let me down.. the crazy times i had with him.. the photoshoots, the lake trips... the clip he shooted of mine when i was eating ice cream.. the songs we recorded in horrible voices... the last trip to the lake with him when we both were feeling like crying..
the way i used to write on my room's walls whenever i felt like expressing something...
the moment when everyone was packing their things and i kept it all till last moment coz i couldn't see my room empty... without me and my things...
the moment when it was time to leave and we were crying, hugging each other...
the happiness, the sadness, the enjoyable moments and the frustrations, the friendships and fights...
IMT N provided me with a lot of crazy moments...
and i'm craving to go back there... and experience some more of it...
some more of LIFE... my LIFE... at IMT N...

Well Miss India, I instigated you to write this but I never wanted to read this ... you know I really get nostalgic. But seriously even I miss every moment of those two years and it's really good that you wrote all this, because I find myself too incompetent to express those precious moments of my life in words.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am really sorry for my absence in those last few days, but hope some day I will be able to say it all to you.
:))
Thank you Khushboo for your precious words... it was you who triggered my thought process with your email... and I could actually write it down in words... I really thank you for this, coz I'm writing a blog after whole 5 months...
ReplyDeletemy dear, i just noted the fact that i missed you, i was not demanding explanations... i think you understand that...
:)
My dearest senior..It all started with you after writing all those messages on orkut...requesting you to check with APO. My God ..you did all that for me without even knowing who I was !! whoever would do such a thing!I really appreciate the amount of time you have spent with almost all the juniors in IMT-its the most valuable gift for us!
ReplyDeleteI still remember how apprehensive I was to talk to you..on the phone as also after coming to the college. But in one meeting all the aura vanquished..when you said that I was always welcome to your room !!
(Sorry I came only on the last day :P)
A senior coming to your table all by her own, and asking me if I was comfortable in the new place..it meant so much in that alien environment..I guess you had understood my state of mind..the cultural shocks - of an on-campus MBA..not too easy to digest..but it was you to convince - "when I came even I was kinda taken aback..but things fall in place days after days." -were your words..so relaxing..so soothing..
I guess I can write an entire post on you..should stop somewhere.. :(
Only to say:
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go..some stay in our hearts..and we are never ever the same" !!
Pri... thank you... from my heart...
ReplyDeleteI never thought it would mean so much to you... it was just a casual 'hi' or 'hello' from my side... :)
To tell you the truth, your and Prajakta's room was a big solace for me and Neha in those last days when we were feeling kinda lonely and frustrated... and you always welcomed us... it was nice to be able to barge into someone's room and talk about many things other than placements... :)
Thank you...
and yes, you came to my room only on the last day... but then u r staying there for 1 whole year... that compensates it! ;)
Awesome meghana..You have captured the emotions really well. Reminiscence glorified. Keep blogging and dont stop.
ReplyDeleteThanks JB... I'm thinking of vontinuing with the IMT series now... but let's see how that shapes up.. :)
ReplyDeleteWow..a snapshot of two years..the two very precious years of my life...
ReplyDeleteWhile reading.. I was like traveling into past for a moment... It reminded me all the fun n laugh that we had @ IMT..
Really..nice one... :)
Hey Pankaj... it means a lot to me... ur friendship and ur comment... i never thought u wud actually take the trouble of commenting on it... :P
ReplyDeleteI won't say 'thanks' now coz i know that's not 'allowed'.. ;)
Very well expressed. Miss the carefree days at IMT in the rushing times of today..
ReplyDeleteThanks Anshi... its pure Nostalgia... :)
