Yaaron...

"Na..Na Na Na Na Na Na..Na Na Na Na Na Na..Na Na Na Na Na Na....."

"Na..Na Na Na Na Na Na..Na Na Na Na Na Na..Na Na Na Na Na Na....."


This tune rings in my ears. From a movie called New York. It's really amazing how the same tune, same lyrics mean differently in different situations. Like this song- I had always liked it, but I perceive it in a bit different way now...

My SPIT journey began with this enthusiasm, this excitement...

"Yaaron...jee bhar ke jee le pal...lagta hai aaj kal...daur apna aayega...
Yaaron...jo khud pe ho yakeen...toh zindagi haseen...tujhe kal bulayega...

Hai junoon...hai junoon sa seene mein...
Hai junoon...hai junoon sa jeene mein..."

Now these lyrics describe very closely what my first year was like. It was starting of a new journey with all the enthu and a hope of makin things come true for me.

Then came the wonderful second year...

"Kahin...jaise koi dhun baje...raahoon mein dekho hai manzar saje saare...
Hum hi...hum jahaan pe...har jagah...sapne sajaane ki hum ko mili wajah...
yeh agar...jo sach nahi...toh sach bhala...hai kya......"

The world-well by that time college started to feel like pretty much the world for us-was full of opportunities. Plenty of things were there to do, which I probably had never done in my life. Participating in various things, hanging back in college for no real reason, interacting with more people...It also provided base to a lot of friendships, which I am sure are going to last long...

Then came the third year...By now, I had realised that college is THE thing for me...It holds many things dear to me. Having created firm base in previous two years, I (and I'm sure many others) dared to do even more, with all the more enthusiasm...

"Yaaron...apne hisaab se...dil ki kitaab pe...kuch toh naya likho...
Yaaron...anjaam ki fiqar...na karti yeh umar...fir kyun bhala daro..."

Yes we had our own funda's, our own equations...We defied some of the unjustified non-sense coming our way, be it a lecture or anythinhg else...

And then, very soon...It was the fourth year...As this final year was proceeding ahead, it's speed seemed to hav doubled, or trippled, or watever...And suddenly following thoughts started to come in the head...

"Kabhi...jo milenge...raaste...pal mein hi chamkegi hasee purani
Toh kaho...kya kahoge...fir humein...kaise chupaaoge namee yeh palko ki...
Yeh bata...hai kya hua...hua hai kyun...bata..."

Well these beautiful lines explain for themselves...I'll keep it as it is...

And merely hours left, before I begin a new journey of my life...The professional journey...I hav left with everything I gained in college, with every friend (at least metaphorically if not physically) I was lucky to have...All the fun moments safely in the ROM...

And the song ends with the same lines with which it began...

"Yaaron...jee bhar ke jee le pal...lagta hai aaj kal...daur apna aayega...

Yaaron...jo khud pe ho yakeen...toh zindagi haseen...tujhe kal bulayega...
Hai junoon...hai junoon sa seene mein...
Hai junoon...hai junoon sa jeene mein..."

And so does the journey...
