The journey of M.Sc. has finally come to an end! All this
time I just wanted to get over with it! But now all I feel in my heart is a
void, vacuum, emptiness. It just doesn’t want to accept that within a week all
that would be left of me and pune would be just some memories scribbled on
pages, frozen in pictures and few inscribed in my mind! Suddenly, I realize this
city, this life has grown on me, and it is not going to be easy to just detach
myself from it!
The best
way to describe my life here would be by relating it to a ‘journey through a
tunnel’ and outside this tunnel was my life in Mumbai! Just like every journey I
was very excited to have this ‘novel’ experience. I started off, walking a few steps, I got
scared! The end was nowhere in sight, it all seemed so bleaky and dark! I was
worried, I wanted to give up and run away! And when I was almost about to make
a run, a light just glowed and encouraged me to just have faith and walk! With
the guidance of that light, I walked!! Slowly more lights glowed and the
journey was not all that bad! Some stayed glowing and warm till the very end,
some were there for some days, and some just flickered a bit! Even though they
weren’t always glowing, I knew they are around and in case of extreme darkness
they would just light up :) as the 2 years went by more and more such lights got added, making this journey
memorable! (Here ‘the lights’ refer to all the wonderful ‘friends’ I met). And
thank you all for the light and warmth you’ve given me!
Now I’ve
reached the end of the journey! I stand here, at the edge! The world
outside seems dark and directionless all I want to do is hold onto this familiar
tunnel of mine, don’t want to let go off it! Buy reality will make me, and the journey further would begin on a new hope!
Whatever
the future holds, I’m really happy for gaining this experience, these people
and this knowledge! At times i regret having taken this decision in the first place, but nothing beats all that I’ve
gained by choosing this journey! I’m thankful to the city, and especially my
friends here, will miss you guys the most! I hope you miss me and my drama too!! Adios!!
