to the class of 2008...wear...sunscreen....!

when DM was promoted to principal earlier this year i remeber him telling me...
"as a manager i got to know your batch closely...cause i was involved with the day-to-day activities of the engagement. however....yours will be the last batch i shall know directly. cause now...as a principal...i will be 'away'..."

that how i felt when the new batch of ISB came in...at some level i would always be away...

i do know some guys in the batch...and have a lot of expectations from them..more so since they happen to be from my high school...! but 4-5 in a batch of 430 doesnt shake a mountain...

anyways...

To the batch of 2008...(with a high probability that most will not even know of this site's existence!)

this year is going to be something you could have never imagined...
...a ride that will leave you exhausted...and craving for more...
...dont let go off it...at any time....

...and wear sunscreen...

association...

i am a sucker for relationships...and i have always told my mum...never fret over anything that can be bought by money. always regret relationships that you havent worked on...

after almost a month...it is these emotions that compelled me to write. (un)fortunately...this wont be an anecdote...surely wont be amusing...so there...dont tell me tht i didnt warn...

the ISB current batch graduated yesterday. a sad feeling...because i know this will be the last batch that i will 'really' know..! and it was nostalgia for me. not just memories of my time...last year...and the sheer deluge of emotions that i faced..it was also the association that i had built with the batch ths year. i am sure i wud be known as the alum who was on campus every friggin month...(yes...i still work for ATK...yes...they still pay me!)

made some really lovely friends...got more respect than i deserved...but most importantly...never felt alien in the batch. i may not know everyone...but always felt home...! the people were all lovely...atleast infront of me..! and i felt at home also because i had spent one of the best years of my life at the very same place...

and then today received the CD for the play that the current batch had towards the end of the year, from SS. friggin hillarious stuff..! it was so awesome going back to those times...and its these times when you realize the imprint you have had...cause of your actions. in your head everything is all fine...cause it was you yourself who enacted the 'real' moments. but...as is always the case...people dont have it all figured..! and thus is created a multiple image profile of the same person....

maybe this multiple image profile allowed me to be different people to different set of individuals...

...maybe this was the basis of my association...

...not just this batch...but my own as well...

ISB Co2007
thanks for being you....i loved every bit of interacting with each one of you...and you shall remain as a special memory...

feeling very nostalgic today...missing the moments...! cause i know it wont be the same again...

life moves on...
