Closing time

It has been a quiet few days. Indolence has been the theme so far. Procrastination has been the favourite activity so far.

It does feel weird that in a few days i will not have a reason to stay in my room. This was first thrust upon me when I had to fill up the Alumni association form (which i still have not filled). There had to be something fishy going on. Things dont end so abruptly. I am not trying to go down the good ol' route of putting senti where i talk you up with things like how i first came to campus-got scared of how huge it was-was petrified when i checked out the hostel-was stupified when i met the seniors-shocked i was when i got ragged-how thrilled i was to attend my first class-the adrenalin pumping when i cheered for my hostel-how content i seemed among my friends-how peaceful i was with the settings of the campus-how despite the innumerable cribs i had about mess food, i miss it now (even after the frog biriyani)-that i love my 15 minute walk to department even in Madras summer heat-loved getting into arguments with autodrivers-the walk to and from gurunath-endless fun in the quadrangle playing footer-nightouts put doing everything other than studying for the endsem the next day. Things have been so good that I kept thinking that this is where happiness is supposed to start, where all good things begin. And there will be more to follow. Never did I realise that this is happiness (Does it ring a bell?). This is where i belong. A place where I am content with my surroundings, despite all its shortcomings I have made my peace with. Well all good things must come to an end.

Old man dies, Young girl lives. Fair trade.

P.S: I am a bit high on milk. Had almost a litre of milk in half an hour. Long story :D
Btw just realised that i wrote the post in past tense. Guess time has come to move on.

Closing time it is.......


Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world.
Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer.
Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
