Didnt feel like keeping this blog sans any post for long....
Now that its time to say goodbye to college, I am not feeling good...I kind of have started remembering all those days spent .My relationship with my college...B.J.B college has been 5 years long now. Every corner, every room, every corridor has some memories attached to it....
Right after my 10th got into my college, took up science. Initialy I had wanted to do medical and thus opted for biology as my fourth optional. I remember our first practical class and there was this tray with a dead cut frog in it.. Ma'am wanted us to bring it to her. And yes almost no one was interested to do the same...I dont know why I went and got it, maybe because I was standing very close to my teacher and her order kind of made me forget that it had one dead frog in it. I didnt find it nasty even, had no allergy to it. Then after a month or two I started wondering if I actualy wanted to go for medical. I didnt feel like becoming a doctor. And the first thing I wanted to do was change my fourth optional. I didnt know at that moment what I wanted to do..all I knew was I didnt feel like going for medical. I was fortunate, we had a notice put up that anyone who wants to change his or her fourth optional may apply for the same. I immedietely applied and took electronics as my fourth optional. Circuits, chips , modulation etc, I liked the subject. Then came a time when everybody knew what he or she had to do after 12th. Accordingly they joined the coaching centres. I didnt even know what I wanted to do then. I just knew even engineering wasnt for me. I somehow didnt feel like, maybe because most of my cousins happen to be engineers..I wanted to do something different. I joined no coaching centre. All I did was attended few classes our teachers were taking for the 12th final exams. I had decided I will go for Arts after 12th or to be even more clear english hons. Once I was just going through some books in our reading room in college when a girl came and sat just besides me. She had a very interesting looking book in her hands. It was a psychology book, Baron's. I went through some pages, I liked it.
12th over. Most of my friends joined some or other engineering college and we all got separated. Some went to Bangalore, some to Pune.........
I decided to join my college again, B.J.B College. We were all called for choosing our honours subjectc. I had opted for english honours. My mom had been with me. There our sir, Psychology Department saw me and said,"Pooza you will read Arts here? Which hons? When I said english he asked me to join Psychology hons. Deep within, somewhere I found it an interesting option .He talked to my parents. He convinced them I should go for psychology honors. I decided to take up psychology only. I would say these three years I have learnt a lot. Learnt a lot about myself, learnt a lot about people, relationships, feelings, emotions etc. And I have got a lot. Right from Chancellor Cup to n number of prizes in many inter college debates, extempore, essays, creative writing....Organised so many things in college. The best part is the love I recieved from all my teachers. Every department...even fromteachers of Science and Commerce stream. These 5 years I can never ever forget. The love I have recieved from all my batchmates, juniors and seniors. I had a passion for reading so I almost never freaked out with friends when we had free classes. My home hardly a km away from my college, i would either come back home..or if in college, would be sitting somewhere going through some novel, some book .....
And yeah I also learnt driving car 2 years back and drove my car to college .....
Over all lovely memories..I will miss my college..am already missing it :(

Events
Last week was one eventful week I had in a long time. To begin with there was practice for the Annual Function. All the students of my department, that is Psychology department took a keen interest. Each and everyone contributed. I was very impressed with the active involvement and interest shown by Juniors.
On 23rd we were given farewell. Our teachers blessed us for the real life we are going to face now. I remember every word my teachers said. It was so touching. As I always say my teachers in college are angels. They have given so much of affection and love, I can never ever forget. They have given the blind support, the encouragement and have certainly helped me a lot in doing whatever I wanted to.
This sounds like some thanks giving speech, but I realy mean it. I clearly remember the day August 29th when I got admitted to my college.(I had also done my plus two in the same college, But we have separate Blocks in separate compound;having science in 12th strangely but I had almost never visited the Arts Block).
These three years seem like 3 days to me. Those function arrangements with teachers,working hard day in and out to make it a success, those debate competitions(the support from the teachers),the essay and those creative writting competitions are memories I will always cherish.
Our welcome Party by our seniors(and that question I was asked), the love from my seniors(unconditional love)being fed with lots of ice creams and chocolates,Buddhi nani(well in Oriya nani means didi) thanks.The love from my Juniors(Farheen, Sonali, Neha, Priyanka, Soni, Subhangi and those sweet Juniors of mine), the lovely farewell party and the interesting defn of farewell, the sweet,lovely farewell gift,the love I have received from my friends( Deepti, Lipsika, Sonali, Subhashree,Sudha, Ukti, Sophie, Sujata(i love ur miss calls,the late night ones), Sashmita, Shradhanjali, Souritandra, Light, baby, mama, Rashida, Lips,Minu,Sushree,Minali....and all others) and my friends in commerce block Pragyan, Ruchira, Tanu, Sushree, Anu, Lori didi.....
Well I was almost never there in college when we had breaks or free classes, but you all have been so sweet to me and the great time we have spent together at my place, parties, functions, ceremonies, IMS etc I am not going to forget. Will write more soon. Will write about the function in my next post....
