"Udit, Navneet have sent you friend request"
"Piyush Singhal has invited you to join this community".
"Mayank wants to add you to his Netlog's friend list"
This is what some of my earliest emails say.
I'm sure that some fates were already decided by that time,
-: After scoring 340 marks in BITS, why would someone (Nirvaan) take admission in IIITM.
-: Why would a medical aspirant opt for Btech + MBA (Lavish )?
-: Why would me and manyu leave PEC (Elect.) ?
-: Why would the geniuses like (Piyush, Vikas) won't qualify JEE in their second attempt, (though I knw they didn't prepare for it after coming to college).?
-: Who wouldn't have coveted Manipal's flowers and greeenery (Navneet).?
-: Who would like to quit the sizzling HINDU campus ? (Yudi )
-: Why someone(THE SACHIN) having research offers from MITS, OXFORD, HARVARD would would still prefer IIITM. (I myself doubt the credibility of this very statement :P :P )
At that time,
#Did I expect that these aliens will eventually become my world and then my life?... NEVER.
#Did I imagine that each day will start seeing their faces (ugly though ;) ;)) and day will end only after spending a momentous time with them?.... NEVER
I never wondered
~Will there ever be a day without enjoying each other's 'bakar' ? :P
~Will there be any conversation not including a complement , at every 2nd word?
~Will there be times when the entire corridor couldn't sum up 10-20 Rs.(liquidity crunch: Newspaper and Milk incidents ) while at other times having party everyday and spending 4-5 Grands on a single dinner?
~How can there be days when everyone working 24 hours a day and still geared up?(Aurora,Infotsav)

~How can one take 5 min for a single SNOOKER shot while few seconds to cover metres. ;)
~How can ppl be on Facebook whole day, not missing even a single 'like'?(In some cases,pics on TOI or records on cricinfo ;))

~How can a hostel room turns into a casino and stadium at times. (was it really Room no. 167 ;)) )
~How can one dare to enter the class 15 minutes before getting over and then marking at least 5-6 proxy..
At that time,
I was also a juvenile to the 'PROPER' use of equipments like Fire Extinguisher in corridoor or water pipe or room freshners ;)
Also wasn't aware how useful and handy the hacks and bugs can be. ( MANAK,do i need to elaborate? ;) )

These were my feelings and ambiguities few years back (at the time of receipt of the earliest emails, as mentioned above :P). But now I am quite insightful and know each one of those email sender better than they themselves do.
I just want the almighty Time to take a nap and let the next year equivalent to at least a decade .
Presently missing you all to hell, but this will not last.
P.S.- I didn't thought of writing all this, when I started. May be feelings and thoughts these days can be attributed to this.Not only the above mentioned people, but a lot others are also a notable part of my life.
Also, as this post is centered around a few people with whom I interacted most with in last couple of years, so many of you couldn't get some excerpts but definitely each and everyone of you must be having your own stories,emails :P and moments to share.
So just Cherish every moment and enjoy.
Life's Good.
Cheers,
Shalabh
