"Yelae yelae dosth da..therumunayil adithukondom siridhum valikavillai, marunodiyil siri pirivu vandal anda vali tan thangavillai.."
I don't know the person who penned the above lyrics but surely this person should have sailed a hard boat in the journey of friendship. Thanks to him/her for sharing us the wonderful words which my friend sung in our college farewell and that added a color to this song in my heart.
Everybody who have gone for a College will definitely miss something or someone when they leave that wonderful place which most of the alumni will call HEAVEN on earth.
The sadness is we are not interested and matured enough to take along that heavenly people all along with our life. We may throw the blame on situation, job, family and anything. But inside the little organ on the middle left of your body, you will know how badly you miss those golden moments which passed like colorful a spark in the sky.
Think about the farewell, you will know how the tears will taste. Read that slam notebooks, you will understand how unique you are and how differently you were viewed by different people.
There would have been people who would have eagerly awaited for your simple waving gesture, some for your eye response, some for your smile. They would have penned down all those silly super awesome fun filled lovely moments which they lived or dreamt to live with you!
Yes life is unfair, in couple of years, things might not be the same. There are people who got married, went other countries just for studying and most like me sitting before a machine typing or coding something all five days just because I get money to do that. I know am doing it wrong and very soon I will change that.
Everyone of us will be busy making our lives, illegally blaming the time for not allowing us to meet the friends.
Just for a second, sit in your room and think about those luxurious four years you lived in the classes ,seminar halls, machine labs and the hostels. Those walls knew the loads of happiness which you loved and lived.
After that what ever you do will be for the sake of money or for the ever criticizing society which is eager to make a meme for every minute errors.
You might have visited hundreds of places ,boarded your first flight, made some awesome clients for your business. But somewhere in the bottom of the heart you will have the itch to meet a good friend.
I know it will be tough. But make some time. Remember time is one of the human inventions. You can add or modify it accommodating your ten minute phone talk with your lovely old good friend without any ego.
And you know what, you might have made him or her smile after days or months. Those little moments matters in life!
Get your silly smartphone, dial the numbers, say a hello! Ask them about their parents, family and new colleagues.
Ask them how many friends they have made after their college days.
I bet it will not be more than two or three. Colleagues and friends may look alike sometimes, but your mind and heart will know the exact reason why they can't be kept at the same place.
So speak to them atleast once in couple of days, weeks or months. You will feel the difference. You will have some positive vibes through your cherished memories.
Open those fun filled photos and have a look. Don't be like me who didn't collect any of those lovely snaps.
Say thanks to everyone who made those four years a beautiful part in the journey of life.
Yes, I miss my days @BIT
கல்லூரி நாட்கள் என்றும் இனிது தான்.
கண்கள் வியர்த்திருந்தால் மன்னிக்கவும் ;)
With loads of love,
