you always crib for what u don’t have…
Here I am sitting alone in the room, with my dear laptop for company! The only thing I did today was browse through the convocation pictures! CONVOCATION! big word eh! Simply put, it's
a day when every graduate student is rewarded with the degree, a day when u feel thrilled to finally get the pay back of having slogged your asses off to complete every single assignment, or to score 60+, or for some nerds to get that much awaited gold medal! :)
It’s the culmination of all that hard work! After all 4 years of all that "torture" ain't a joke! :P
it’s day when u feel a sense of achievement, when u can see that pride in your parent’s eyes as u walk down the stage with the degree in your hand! it’s day of celebration! day to be with your loved ones, day of reunion, day to forgive and forget all those bad memories and just be happy!
And suddenly reality sinks in, because I missed being a part of all that!!
All I can do is sit with my laptop and reminisce those good times, comment on other’s albums and say to yourself “I so wish I could have been there!”
Irony of the situation:
I still remember the day when I got an admit from Johns hopkins university and I knew I will have to depart very soon and will not be able to attend this happy day. But then all I cared about was getting a US visa and reaching this dreamland as soon as possible! Now that I am here, I so want to go back to my mother land, to reunite with my folks!
It may be a transient phase that every person perhaps goes through. what they call as being “homesick”. But all I know is today I so wanted to be “there”.
Today’s convocation “officially” marked the end of my undergraduate life! D.Y.Patil, BBT batch of 2009, end of an era!
For all u guys like me who are away from home, my heart cries out to u! I know how it feels to be amongst the crowd and yet be alone!
why is it that you always crib for something that you don’t have, why is it that when u have it then you don’t realize it importance?
I loved it,I loved every word

May be its coz one takes IT for granted and doesn't appreciate the presence of IT..only when it's gone...reality bites :)
