Last week a friend of mine sparked a topic to let me ponder over- " How has my life changed after coming out of college"
The first thing that flashed through my mind was Amir Khan's dialogue from RDB "jabh college ke ish taraf tum zindgi ko apne ishaaro mein nachaate ho, aur doosri taraf zindgi tumhe". These words seem so true when you are working your ass out and still not happy.
Can you actually compare your carefree attitude you wore during your degree days with the responsibilities that are like uninvited guest is fiddling in your mind. How much you try hard but you cannot escape from these so called office responsibilities and sophistication in your life which constantly forces you to run back to your btech days.
Everyday you get up remembering the days where you just bunking classes because you just don't feel like going to the class or because you don't want to get away with that SharukhKhan dream you just had. Office life doesn't give you liberty to respect your feelings. You cannot bunk office because you feel like.
Well you have to listen to the boss even if you know what he is saying is all bull shit.You cannot walk out of the office as you did when you didn't feel like listening to you Prof, when he was making more sense than you boss does now.
Proposing your classmate when you are not sure is it love, now cannot say it to the girl sitting in the next cabin when you are sure she is the one you want to share your work as well as home place with.
100 bucks with 4 friends around, going to a near by dhabba sharing whatever you can manage and missing it now. 100 times more money now but looking for people to treat just like that as to avoid eating alone.
100 people surrounding you all the time but no one to share your happiness or to lend you a shoulder you can sleep on while shedding off your tears.
Weekends when you had 100 submissions pending but still going for night shows for movies and now all weekends just wanting some one to call and take you out.
Loads of parties nothing to new to wear ..... now loads of new clothes no parties.
Still remember that first vodka shot, that first puff, crush on Prof(something common, replace Prof with boss;))
Maaroing niteouts without any reason now always finding out the reason and planing for the same to maaro nite our.

Well penned.
for in college we had all the time and no money its the other way now.
Even got to take permission one month back for a days leave that too when used to cutting hours on daily basis.
Listen to the bull which someone very powerful will tell u with due attention where as sometime back never cared what the prof told about the syllabus for the exam.
Never cared about deadlines.
May be the only thing which still prevails is the night outs for survival.
Never had the Sharukhkhan dream though :)
Well, I guess it is true for every phase of life.
When I was in college [especially during my placement time], I use to feel life was so much better in college. Everything is pre-planned. Parents tell you to do JEE and then so painful decision making.
It is human psyche to remember happy days of past and sulk about the painful days of present.
The truth is [as said by my friend] that 'We have hardly seen problems and pains in life yet'.
Not trying to give gyan :-)
well finally read it.. after such a long time(almost around a fortnight) after learning there has been a new post here... and that too in the lunch hour...
so i m sure you can understand that i surely agree with every aspect of this post(good, for a change:))
each and every line of the post rose a feeling of nostalgia... just miss those days...
For the blogger, i have no words other than "i empathize!!". i just felt like as though someone has jotted down words of my life... my present and my past.
