I have never written a blog as I always used to think that one needs to be creative & innovative for it. But now I think that one's emotions are enough to do this task. It's 4 in the morning and sleep eludes me. Perhaps this is some kind of signal to do something so here I am writing my first blog and sharing with all of you who have been witness to my journey of great lakes. In few days from now my love affair with Great Lakes will come to an end. Yes this is a hard reality and I am surrounded by varied kind of emotions while I am jotting down this entry. Don't get me wrong here it's not like that I am unhappy going back home, it's actually a relieving & happy thought that I would be united with my family soon. At the same time the relationships, bonding which I have formed with each one of you is simply something which personifies meaning of life in real sense.


I will surely miss all the "FUKREY" fun, late night walks; outings to Latitude, Radisson; Wats App status update, photo sessions, playing uno ,TT, Polo; dance after Daaru parties (though I am strictly against the consumption of alcohol), Mahabharata lessons from baba, trips to Mahabs ,Chennai , Pondi , Kalpakkam , Kodai , Munnar and yes the excitement of Goa trip (before it was cancelled  which I am sure will materialize in some time in future), sodexo food, maggi/tarbooz party at room; group study; trips to library.A lot of my friends have asked me what I'd miss the most once I leave the place. I've really not got any satisfactory answer to this question. Is it the independence, freedom, "someone special",sodexo food, library, the never ending hurry to be some place or do something, the absolutely crazy outings, the extraordinary people I've met along my journey and the list is long. I hope that by this time you can figure it out what matters most to me. No guesses please.


One thing I realized over the last few days that lot depends on the people around you. How someplace that was the coolest place to be with friends around, turns out to be absolutely dead when you go there alone. How the home for one year will mean nothing when no one will be around and it seems  that all the parties, activities, screams will fade away by each passing moment.  However memories of our one year stay in Great Lakes will be etched in our minds. I am nearing the end of this blog and I feel lost. I am not able to make what to include and what not to. I want to do so many things which I could not do in this one year. In the end I would like to thank all of you ( Udit, Chatur, Baba, Sallu Bhai , Chandan, Rajjo and last but not the least "Rabia")  who made this journey truly memorable and exciting. Signing Off!!!
