Life becomes utterly confused when school is over and all we have is a diploma and a bunch of creepy grades on them ,surprisingly on the basis of which we are to be judged when selected for college. Like all the other extracurricular things we had done and achieved didn't matter at all! All the values imparted on us by our teachers, our elderly , all the manners , good manners we have learned so far had no use! What is the use of obeying to all these when in the last a guy with good grades but no decency at all gets selected?
To be honest ,I was always a bright student with good grades, decent friends and great teachers. My school teachers were more like friends with some really insane qualifications.Even today I can recall the history chapter THE FRENCH REVOLUTION which was taught so perfectly by our teacher almost like we had lived through it. Teachers like these are a blessing indeed!
But now , a new chapter of life is starting to begin.In order to get selected to college we all are supposed to give a preliminary exam which was based on MCQs and we all know how that goes, don't we? Though my paper didn't go that well, it was not that bad even. I got a college in Kashmir, which is about 300 kms away from my hometown Jammu, I know what you all must be thinking what a devastating place to go to study but I always wanted to study there as it has a breathtaking view , awesome weather and some of the great teachers.
The date of joining is 27th of May i.e.I have 5 days to get all the stuff ready to go. I know I will be all alone there as I have never lived alone in my entire life. It kind of scares me but I also feel kind of excited as I love being on my own. So ,by 26th May, I had packed almost all of my stuff ,said goodbyes to my school friends which were basically only two , I was basically kind of a loner ..I kind of think its genetic . Anyways, I arrived at the airport 2 hrs. early because of my dad. He is a bit ahead of time kind of guy. So we shared our goodbyes at the airport, my brother was kind of happy to get rid of me like all the other younger brothers out in the world, I could see it in his eyes. I think my mom was also kind of relieved as now she doesn't have to face any of my tantrums. I could not make out anything from my dad's expressions as what was he feeling ,he is always neutral.
But I was very excited about the next chapter which was about to start! But do all the happy beginnings end up having a happy endings too? I wonder!
