Third Year

Changing Changes


Idylo!! This is moi again, Being funny!! (wink wink)
So I wonder, I flounder, I blunder n then I. . . Uh, um, ahem forget it (grumble)
So in the recent past what I’ve noticed is a lot of change, in the way things happen. Ever since my trip home, I’ve seen so many… Haircuts, makeovers, new entrants on the (WOW! Look at her) list and its simply, cool! Looking back in the past, I’ve changed too, from a 100+ kilo weighing, inch thick moustache bearing, pain in the rear end (to some) as one ‘friend’ put it, I was the stereotype father of not 1, not 2 but 5
(that’s like bad!!). Now I’m a respectable 80+ kilos, no moustache, n bout the pain in the ass, I dono, some assume it through the network (refer highly secretive gossip or rumor network in college), some I deliberately take joy in being so. However, from a 20+ in internals I dropped to a 10+ in a few, from FCD to FCD-D=FC (I know someone who did something similar with the letters, seriously, for those in the unknown FCD=First Class With Distinction, FC=First Class)
I guess I lost the marks with my moustache. From the shy dork with the Uh, um excuse me please, may I… while conversing, especially with girls to the ‘sup? How you doin? Or the more genuine wassup? N no shyness (ya right! Whom am I kidding I still can’t ask a girl out or even just her name or be friends with a stranger, waah!! ) Ahem, ahem.. All the changes have been for the good, I’ve got new, true friends, while the old have become closer. One general change, has been that of attire from the trademark blue/gray-black uniform to the casual formals with a few jeans n tees thrown in. A day came when I guess me n my bench mates missed the uniform effect, so we all wore shades of blue! It was, quite a sight! It later went on to become the ‘IN’ thing over the next few days, with the entire 4th year ec branch following suit (none will admit to this, quite stupid if they do). Another change, a misunderstanding led to a musical evening where people would be dancing to the tunes of RHCP, Megadeth and other noted ROCK bands. Quite a forgettable evening, most would agree. I however was quite upset that I hadn’t tried out all the dishes at the ‘Cooking without Fire’ event, for reasons hmmm, unknown. With the change to casuals in third n fourth year the girls (I nurse crushes on) began to look even more gorgeous, ‘twas hard not to stare especially at S* n B* n hmmm that’s it I guess. One I can’t muster courage to talk or even try, the other I just smile n wave… The juniors are pretty too. Competition is intense…. Hmmm… ahem… ahem… (More throat clearing) I get distracted easily, sorry. Well as I was saying, the changes have been surprising too, with the MBA coming in and a life in this “censored” college. Also there have been menu changes at all the places I love to eat n I’m loving it!
All these changes, mundane as they may seem help break the monotony of, making it worthwhile to cherish all memories of life that one spent here.
