And so the D-Day is coming closer day by day. No, I'm not talking about 21st December 2012. I'm referring to the last day of my college. It's a strange feeling. Strangeness attributed to the fact that till the beginning of my internship (Count it as final final year :) ) I used to think that this will not be so hard. It's just another part of my life. Indeed it is. But now as I think about the awesome days left behind, I feel they were one of the most important parts of my mortal life. ;)
Somebody once said that the best teacher of life is life itself. But I think the best teachers are our friends. They teach us, knowingly or unknowingly, what we are. What we do for them and what we choose not to. Every single thing, now as I look back, taught me a great deal about myself. The loyalty, standing with me in times of need, leaving me helpless when I needed some self-realization etc. Also the fights, yes. I
feel believe all those fights taught me many values, like humility, courage, respect, etc. Taught me how to say sorry, how to control my ego. And I thank some of my friends who are still with me, still love me unconditionally in-spite of differences between us for sticking with me for so long. I love you Derps and Derpettes. :D
One of the most important thing I learned in these odd 5 and a half years that how useless is the word काश (If only). I came to know the negative impact it creates in our life. Guys say काश we had got a better college through AIPMT, काश I had done this and not that. Well if I had taken a better college somewhere in say Jaipur or M.P. I wouldn't be able to have a rock band of my own, wouldn't have met an exceptional guy so we couldn't have made a short movie or a magazine and many more things. I am trying to remove that word from my dictionary. I mean regrets are a part of life but saying काश increases the negative character in us and a sad man is a failed man.
The other thing I learned is the importance of humour in our lives. Company of friends, a boring lecture, a stressful situation, talking with my crush with a broken heart, no matter what the situation is, add some humour and see the difference :). I taught myself to laugh at myself. It really helps.
Also I came to know the advantages of having a good reputation among people around me. It creates this positive aura that helps me in being happy. Who doesn't like to have a cool reputation. I am trying to say all this with utmost humility and honesty. Come on, a little narcissism is good for health :D
These 5 and half years made me realise that how much I love music and medical profession, both. I thank my cool friends who never competed with me academically and also gave me advice-to-study from time to time. I learned guitars, drums and passed my exams because of them only. :) Without them I would have been a long haired hippy playing bongo on a road side :D Now at-least I know how to diagnose a person (If can't treat most of them) and play all major and minor chords on my keyboard.
Apart from the PYTs, I 'll miss my friends the most. The bakch**di we did. Staying awake at nights, going to far reaches of the city in search of food in the middle of the night, the long biketrips, sometimes unplanned, my countless number of accidents, the bakar series videos we made, the unfulfilled ambitions and unfinished bakar projects made with guys, Hostel no. 4 and many more.
I wish to write so much more but I think will add another post sometime later. It's freakin 6:30 in the morning and I should sleep now. Meanwhile this song is dedicated to you guys. Good Night.
