Of Endings(R.U.H) and Beginnings, Too.....




"Ei poth jodi na shesh hoy, tobe kemon hoto, tumi bolo to...
Jodi prithibi-ta shopner desh hoy, tobe kemon hoto tumi bolo to... "
(Should this path never end, how would it be?
Should this world itself be paradise, how would it be?)
- immortal lyrics of a song from Saptapadi.

Home. Finally home. From friggin dust storms, from Peter and Michael and other LGMF-ing insects, from MNBs and Rs. 50-chicken rolls in C'Not (bastards!), from weird hippies in Rishikesh, from the stark isolation of the Rajasthan desert, from everything that is unknown or inunderstood or fun...it's all done and over with. For this first year, at least.

But hey, the path hasn't ended. Not yet......I guess we're still somewhere around Chirawa....:)

Cliche of the hour: The only permanent thing about life is change. Change which keeps on happening, which comes unbidden and undetected, and yet in some way alters your life forever...

Why am I rambling bullshit? Just like that, I guess.

Much more to write about my first year, but I guess I'll leave gyaan for later. This post is exclusive to R.U.H.

Stupid name: R.U.H - Ram Upper H-wing. But there it is. And I guess it shows that we weren't the most intellectual 1st-year wing on campus, but who cares?
Here we are in all our insolence:

Santa Abhishanth me Rithvik Srinivas Jayesh Atin DivX Nayyar BCBKDK Sankeerth Geeth Golu Trinath Paritosh Vellu Udit Mayank Gaurav Arpit Reddy Ravi RaKaMuMa(as I call them) Sindhur Mandu:) Krishnan Arjun and Gogte whew!!!

A year that began with us, arguably the 'lite'-est wing on campus, giving the regulations a damn and taking to life as it came, soon changed when we landed with a couple of horrible results(all except the gods PUGR, of course, but more on that earlier)...2nd sem saw us change for the better(hope so at least, cuz CG cards haven't yet arrived!!).

All that's happened all throughout the course of an amazing 1st year is definitely not clear.....but what is crystal clear was after all the sight of the wing at 4:30 pm on the 15th....when Gaurav had gone with his friends from Bhilwara and I was wandering the dusty corridor by myself, peeking into the empty rooms and thinking about the times when they were full...
Melancholic me. But there it is.
Adieu, Ram Bhawan and wingies.

Tears,
Janus

P.S.: However, for the 10 or so of us who have spilled over into our new wing, we have managed to get a total b****** of a warden for 2nd year! Looks like a lot of fun awaits us next sem too :)
