I am not saying this surrendering myself to the feeling of nostalgia...it’s just a better way of saying something as soft as ‘I would miss it all’..It’s something that has not only taken me through the up and downs of the good and bad...but it is also responsible for making me..’me’.
In fact..I have been fortunate enough as compared to the students who just get to spend four years of Grad here..Two years more were added to my four years of beautiful memories of GOA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING... this time it helped me see it all in a different angle..It just got a wonderful thing done from me..It made me share my li’l store of knowledge with my students...
The four years of student life wouldn’t be different from the usual experiences of u all..Lectures, seminars, submissions, punishments, term works, exams, viva etc mixed well with the flavour of fun and frolic, games and laughter, picnics and treats and fests..Can never forget those days ...time spent in splashing waters on each other in rains and also the times when rain gear was lend to friends ..out of concern...:)..
But the two years I got to be here as a lecturer have been way different...it was a time of getting to know myself better. It was something which was much more difficult and challenging than attending a lecture or answering a question in a class of friends. Hours of study and preparation before delivering a lecture, entering the class to see around 60 to 70(this time it was 82!!) inquisitive faces just waiting to put forth a numerous queries..it seemed to have become a way of life..I found myself learning as a teacher..it was truly an amazing experience..filled with excitement. The same heart that was a li’l nervous during the first few lectures, just happened to catch the heart beats of my students right..and it all went very well...it earned me a lot more than just money...
Differences, quarrels and misunderstandings in the working environment didn’t keep me affected for long..as I always had a way to do away with it all--my friends..:)
Yeah..the ‘system’ still remains to be slow and unsorted. I hate the way work gets done here. Many with a lull on their faces and dull appearances have walked along with me here. The ‘why-should-I-do-it?’, ‘come-later-its-tea-time’ (all the time..:D), and ‘do-not-bother-me’ spell has worked successfully well on many ...but ya ..it just made my belief in this stronger..’it takes all kinds of people to make the world’....
The best part is that...I was never left alone to face all the unpleasant that came my way ..In these two years, my life has changed and got still more colorful..I added a few more hues to my friends-palette of life...:)
It wasn’t remarkable how we met..but yes , whatever followed really was awesome. It didn’t take time for us to know that we had a few things in common. We shared experiences, jokes and even cabins and lunch...this friendship has taught me to stand storms and render courage. It has made me understand the importance of being surrounded by people, in the true sense of the term..The sharing enriched my life, elevated it and in no time I discovered that it’s become an important aspect of it..
.
It’s true..a few moments and a few people influence one’s life real positively..In the process of teaching I learnt things that a student in me always wanted to learn..It all prepared me for the real rough world and I am thankful to all those who have added a share of theirs in the efforts I put to see life more clearly...
I can’t deny the fact that, I would really miss this place...but I haven’t said goodbye..I will come back..to relive it all!!...
