Not a Student No More

These days my friends say that a big rock seems to have hit me.

As a matter of fact, it has.It all started when I asked myself - "I mean, is that really it ? College life's over in 10 days??"

No longer a student. What does it mean ?

It means that there will be no more listless hours in the canteen.No more wandering about in big groups. No more purposeless bike-rides in the night.No more staring at 20-something bimbettes with scarce guilt.No more hitting on professors.No more getting screwed in vivas by the hit-on professors.No more booze parties with babes being the sole point of discussion.No more kheechofying friends on little issues.No more being kheechofyed by friends on mushy,queasy issues.No more all-nighter study groups. No more 11.45 night-movies at Esquare.And definitely no more maska-pav at Pune railway station at 4 am.

Its almost like someone has proclaimed -" Your train-of-fun stops here."

When I came for an MBA , I thought I'd prepared myself for a more responsible life 2 years later.Now someone up there wants to cut that time-frame by 3 months.Funny ,huh?? Its almost like a pre-mature ejaculation - you expect something, and you get the unexpected.

And does a more responsible life come with the unwanted add-ons of less fun, less frolic ?? I will try to find the answer in the coming year or so.I guess , somewhere, I will have to strike a balance . No longer can my life be one continuing joyride ,one pleasure trip.Somewhere,I will have to take the crests with the troughs , the ups with the downs.

But a new phase of my life begins.A scary phase dat I have not seen.

But will venture.Will try. Will fall.Will get up and dust ass. Will try.Will do.

And will keep venturing.
