THE LAST LECTURE OF MY COLLEGE LIFE

Believe it or not the D-day has arrived, the day most awaited, the day most called for. There was something more special about this class than met the eye. Despite the constraint of last class, latecomers succeeded in maintaining their dignity of visiting the class fairly after the scheduled time. Seemingly, all appeared to have diagnosed with an overdose of senti. First time in four years those 50 minutes were not abnormally long, first time eyes could move freely without sticking at watch, first time the consciousness dominated the yawning and first time in four years we were attending the class not for the sake of attendance. For our surprise, the pedantic professor was comfortable in the sentimental zone beyond his technical domain. These fast fifty minutes were successful in turning some eyes wet but laughter of I-don’t-feel-anything kind dudes remained undeterred. Digi-cams and mobiles were vying for there contents. The atmosphere around pretended to have a perfect combination of location and occasion for sorting old mess-ups.

And finally the deliberately delayed time came to an end. Nobody was unsure of the fact that the time following these moments will make complete strangers out of bosom buddies. In spite of this fact, some were fighting desperately against their prejudices. Specialty of these moments is there temporality. Had these moments a little longer they would not be that special. Within few days these faint memories will evaporate forever .And surely the life has other plans for us.
