Engineer Aseem Shakuntal

There are many things in life which do not come exactly as they should. I mean to say that sometimes, something happens and then, you are sure of its result and start celebrating.

Things like…

Your wife becomes pregnant and you know that you’ve become a daddy now, but then surety of this sure thing is not one hundred percent sure. I don’t want to be the pessimistic weasel out here, but I just said that once your wife gets pregnant does not mean that you are a daddy now…

Hey!! I did not tell you to think on second thoughts. I meant that something just might happen, something unwanting which would lead to some other thing unwanting and finally, you are not a daddy anymore. I hope you understand what crap I wrote above.

In fact I could not find a better example than this. But yes, I can site some more I guess. But I won’t.

Let me come straight to the point why I wrote the above “CRAP”.

Well well well…

Now I am no more Aseem Shakuntal. Now, I am an engineer, officially and this official thing would be more official once I get my degree in my hands in my convocation. Well, the convocation is a distant thing at this time I guess.

It was may the 24th, when I had my final presentations and then I started merry making that now I was an engineer. But the results were not out. It was today that my results are out and that now, I am “Er. Aseem Shakuntal”.

So, now could you follow why I wrote the above crap of that daddy thing? Well… these days I am on vacations, enjoying priceless moments I am spending with my family. But I must confess a few things as well…

  • I am missing my college like hell.

  • My college days were so nice!

  • Those good ‘ol days…

  • I am missing my friends.

  • I am missing my student life coz I am no more a student now.

Hey, but I contradicted myself here. It was sometime back that I myself wrote that at the University of Life, admission is open to all and that all of us are students. But, here I am talking about something different. Something that has a special place in our heart… our college… my college… my alma mater…

And yes I am missing it badly. And I am glad to say that those college days were the best days of my life.

After all, they not only taught me many things at this University of life, but I am happy that I have earned a few good life long friends here, that I fell into love, that I cherish every moment I spent here. Some sweet, some sour, some bitter, some better!

But that’s what life is… isn’t it?

That is what life is, “ZINDAGI”

ANYWAYS.. the poem

It was just kind of like a nostalgic feeling…
With every one of us grooming, for the “big day” that is coming…

But there is something that can’t stop me from thinking
Oh yeah! My funny, stupid-et-all times college days are ending!

From Classes to canteen, from lectures to mass bunks
Every moment of “it”…

And now, I can’t breathe…
Coz the memories are so breathtaking!

the Hostel…
it was so fun-filled

Anyways, I would miss the fun that remained.

my Friends…
it was so caring

Anyways, I won’t try to find such friends again!

our Classroom…
gosh! It was so boring

Anyways, I would love to be back into it again!

the insti-roof-top, the library, the staircases, the lift…
I just wish to be an integral part of it.

the life…
it was so smooth

Anyways, It had to be hectic some day!

the love…
it stamped indelibly in my heart

Anyways, I won’t fall for it again!

It all was simply so good!

Anyways, I realize that nothing in this world remains…

Heading for the big day!!!
“It” coming to an end…

Hey!
Did you see the emotions topple?
Did you see the eyes getting wet?
Did your heart beat like it never did?
Did you feel like little nostalgic?

Well, I did!

Heading for this big day…
I learnt a grammar lesson

I found the present tense, and the past… perfect!

I wasn’t what I used to be.
“It” wasn’t what “it” used to be.

Anyways…

One can’t live in past.
It is just that I am little nostalgic, about the best days of my life…

Anyways…
