"Give me some sunshine"--This song from 3-Idiots reminds me of my days in Nagpur. In fact,it sums of my days in Nagpur. Nagpur--the best years of my life. I learnt a lot during those years of my stay. I came on my own there. It is so funny that I find so much similarity with that song. Quite true, before every result, I will be praying to God to help me in clearing my papers. The longer it took for the results to come out, the more feverent used to be my prayer. Luckily for me, I learnt how to crack the exams by the time I reached my 4th year. It's true that I wanted to flunk in my 1st year so that my parents will call me back home :)..I never wanted to be an engineer. I wanted to go to JNU to study literature. More than Shelly, Keats and Wordsworth and Lord Byron, I was fascinated by JNU - rather blue Jeans, khadi kurta and kolhapuri chappals :). But alas,my dreams of joining JNU remained a dream only.Now, when I look back I have no regrets. I always and still feel that whatever I studied--rather mugged during those days are kind of useless to me. The Engineering Drawing, Engineering Mechanics, control systems ....hmm...never used anything of them to practice after I came out of college. If I am granted one wish, I would certainly love to go back to my college days in Nagpur. Well, would love break rules, bunk classes, spend long hours with my college gang in the tea stall..which we used to call "Tapri" and then on the spur on the moment go out for dinner with the whole gang and make some one pay by making him/her "Bakra"...But also would like to revisit the books and try to make use of the stuffs practically...
Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna grow up once again
Very true. We rarely use what we learnt in college. Hmm, so why exactly do we have college education? :P
