Lost…

It’s not very often that I’ve found myself lump-in-the-throat sad(previous occasions being Shahrukh in Kal Ho Na Ho, Shahrukh in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Shahrukh in Chak De,etc), but when I do feel sad it leaves a sort of scar inside me. It stirs up emotions every time I think about it. January 2^nd 2014 was one such day. Three fun-packed days and four sleepless nights with 43 people who’ve been a large part of my small world for the last 3 years…. when it all came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel lost.

The thoughts gnawing away at the back of my mind are about the things that I’ll probably never be able to do again in my life. Never again will I be able to dance without any concern inside a moving bus and still not feel like an idiot. Never again will I be able to witness people I’ve known to be uptight dancing like madmen around a campfire. Never again will I be persistent enough to keep striking poses for photographs from morning till night until I have the perfect profile picture and cover photo. Never again will I be determined enough to vie with guys more handsome than me to get the attention of the cute girl that I’ve been dying to talk to for the past couple of years. Never again will I be shameless enough to offer my face to a girl who’s been smearing the New Year cake on some other dude’s face. Never again will I be able to fool a girl into thinking that I’m an expert swimmer and pretend to give her swimming lessons.

I know that we have one more semester together but I already miss you guys. I pray to God that when that last semester too is over, every one of you gets everything you hoped for from 4 years of college life and when the time for farewell comes, let’s make ourselves a promise that we’ll keep in touch no matter what…. no matter how lost we are in the ways of the world.
