THANQ!!

        Finally...finally....finally....found time.Please accept my apologies for being so late.Infact I am so pleased that some of my friends really read the blog and gave me honest suggestions(mostly because of pressure from my side,they wouldn't have read it otherwise!!)
        Of late I have been worrying too much about my future plans( In fact bad performance in the first mid sem fuelled these thoughts!!)I mean thoughts like."What am I till now...neither a wonder nor a blunder","Not too safe at the same time...too skeptical to worry","Will I remain the same all through my life?"and the list goes on.
        Yesterday, suddenly I got a call from one of the Alumni Contact Programme* guys that there was a meeting in the Visitors Hostel at 9 pm.I was expected to attend that.To my surprize there were a few older people sitting along with the programme guys(I am one among them),everyone waiting for an announcement.Then I remembered the big poster outside written "Pioneer batch Reunion" and figured out that they were there for interacting with us!!!Wow!Words can't express my feelings I had then.
         We were expected to ask their interests,favourite places etc as informed by our coordinators.When the coordiantor announced their interests and favourite places etc its really a feast to see their nostalgic gestures.They might have remembered the first time they met in the college!Just like When he announced the alumnus name and interest as watching movies..There was a shout from a corner "You still love watching movies!!!"...and this went on.
         We then escorted an alumnus to the dance Extravanzaa to the auditorium.This was a kind of 'Walk to remember'!!I started to dump out all my confusion I had in my mind about future,opportunities...(not even giving him a chance to reply!)Except a few nods I didn't get a solid reply.In the meanwhile the other two guys revealed their confusion as well.
          Finally after 2 hours or so we have to 'leave' him."Good night"is what we expected.But contrary to that "So it seems that you guys are too much worried about your future,good to listen but let me tell you one thing there is nothing to worry  about your future.There were at times I was about to quit education but some miracle happened and I was here with you.I don't know about your worries.All I know is that YOU WILL SUCCEED!"he continued "When I started off my career I didn't have anything,But today I have my own company and almost everything.You study well and the rest follows you!!"sounded like the "ALL IS WELL" but profound and true as well.In fact cleared off all the garbage in one shot.
        All I had been thinking at that time was to say"Thank you".A 'Thank you' from the heart!!

*This programmme is to make calls to alumni for funds and update their addresses.
