Adieu

I have been procrastinating about creating a blog of my own for a long time now. Today I finally got out of the vicious circle. I just wish I had done it earlier .
In a couple of days I ll be leaving IIT Kharagpur and it is almost impossible to describe what this place means to me . When I board the Azad Hind ( 2130) tomorrow night, a part of me shall remain behind, here in Kgp and I shall be taking a part of Kgp with me. I know it is one of the most often repeated phases... you can take a kgpian out of kgp but not the kgp out of a kgpian. The reason it is said so much is because it is true.
The people I have befriended here, as my departure nears, I wish I had a spent a little more time with them. We will meet at another place and another time and hopefully some of the magic that we created here shall be there.
A few lines that I read a long way back in first year , come to my mind ....

A life which is to end
Only when i am no more
A life which transformed me
Into a fighter to the core.

A season of love and friendship
For eternity which will last
In my future to follow
I will long to relive this past

Memories of this part of journey
I ll carry all life long
Memories of those precious moments
Which made my life a beautiful song

My eyes go teary
Emotions fill my heart
As my days left here are few
Now it's time to bid Adieu.....
