Like it or not .. I could now hear the footsteps of nostalgia approaching towards me ..
I huddle, I close my eyes.. pretend to avoid it
I remember the older times to over ride the recent past - and its nostalgia
I run away from it - looking for times ahead to come ..
But however hard I try the noise seems to get louder and louder and then intrudes my space
Yeah the nostalgia has finally made in roads .. etched my memories... well i never expected or rather wanted this last year to do more than what it is promised.
The last year ( was it even a year ?) has witnessed a flury of events.. the journey seems to be littered by memories you cant just brush aside..Here are few of them
- The annealing of close buddies
- This is interesting : I forgot getting ECNR done and get this NIRVANA when am at the Q to board the plane to Dubai - had to rush to get it done- book tickets and travel to Dubai all alone
- The airport at Dubai - the first look at it and you are floored .. but am not even enjoying it since I am absorbed in deciding whether to go to hostel or to college - remember am all alone in the journey
- Land in the hostel only to find that my room has been swapped
- Wake my roomies at unearthly 4 in morning then rush for college at 7 in morning
- The induction and intorduction was pathetically boring and I was really distressed
- The first brush with what was going to last forever - the " herd mentality" on way we did our readings and also on how we tackled assignments
- The uninvited class representatives
- The marketing assignments where we did less and less with more and more
- The funny quizzes
- The frenzy of cheating
- The birthday bumps
- The monoolized market of ghasitaram is brought to an end by Skylers and then series of new caterers and then all collapse
- The eateries nearby
- The barren land of Dubai with man made beauties
- The SGP - a truly global one -- did the business entry plan for a company based in malaysia in dubai market with indian team members and chinese mentor( who was based in singapore)
- The torture en-route to collegge ( am talking about the bus ride) - the problem with timings, drivers, schedules, numbers and accomadation
- The best part of Dubai - meeting a fellow indian/pakistani cab driver and travelling along with him
- The other half of story begins in singapore -- for IT its more likely to be over then
- For IT - singapore was never a part of curicullum - we hardly had classes
- The "firaang" prof and how we shamelesslly cheated - then stood by our rogue gang to beat the existence of honesty
- ERP vs BPR -- The biggest confusion.. who is who ? Some one blurted out answers of ERP for a BPR question
- Something like IT strategy dawned to us and we could go nothing beyong mugging up details
- The placement nausea --the preparations for the same .. LOSE LOSE situation
- The placement week -- horrors maginified
- The final YES
- Coming back to form
- Safari- Zoo- Sentosa- Reverse bungee and list is still populating ........
