It was almost five years since I had first reached Kharagpur. This time too, I took an insti-bus to the campus; like that first time. Then, I was surrounded by freshers looking forward to dreams being realised. The only person I had known was an acquaintance (Parived) I had made even as Neelanchal express rolled into the longest platform in the world. This time round there were many friends filled with the excitement of graduating. It was nice to be back to Kgp.
This time, finally, it was not the beginning of another semester. This time there would not be the dread of yet another four long months of scraping through studies. Those four months somehow passed in a jiffy. Each and every time!
We were all excited to be in Kgp, possibly for the last time together. A couple of days passed. In those couple of days, I was awarded a couple of degrees and I had a blast. Friends and Kgp do form a pretty heady combo.
Back home with a couple of degrees (yes, I can’t stop boasting) my spirits were deflated in no time and I was back ruminating about the time that was. The result – this post.
I would save you all the trouble of reading a really long post by recounting the uneventful time I spent in Kgp. But would like to send out very sincere thanks to all the friends (and foes?) with whom I have had the pleasure of sharing the same space-time co-ordinates for 4-5 of the best years of my life. I hope that you all have the bad luck of meeting up with me. :D

Due to a very scarce number of people who read this blog, customer satisfaction is something I just cannot do without. So with all the self-contempt that comes with giving up on high moral standards, I stoop to naming names. Just naming names would have been very naive hence, I’ve also included some reasons why I might miss them once in a blue moon.

These are a list of 36 things that came to my mind first. For reasons that need not be explained, no more can be added. Inconvenience is not regretted. :D
PS: Sushant, believe it or not, tumhare naam ka position totally incidental hai!
PS2: Sunny Verma tumhara naam nahi daale. Reason being – 1. tum mere saath kabhi peeja nahi khaye 2. Sarsatti pooja k arkestra mein nahi invite kiye 3. Bhodaphone se call bhi nahi karte ho :(
