Because I believe in Yesterday...


What do you say when you know you wont ever be back in that room again-the six or seven of us (a little high) watching the video which started it all.yes i talked only so that i wouldnt cry but ended up crying all the same.
It's hard to imagine days when i dont need to walk in through those gates into the red building that faintly smells of shampoo all the time, that lights up in the sunlight like few other buildings do, that watch on as girls walk in and women walk out...year after year.
Yes i have walked down corridors in rage shouting expletives at this building but it took me in each time it rained and i needed a shade.i might not have fallen down running in this building but it has surely added a certain amount of confidence in my walk.it has made me realise things i never would've understood otherwise, it has made me read of worlds i didnt know existed.
From the wide eyed fresher,through the striking second year to the crying final year,i have come a long way and it is time now to take a bow.
here's to you-each one of you-who is a part of the Class of 2010,LSR (specially the Department of English).
Thank you for these three years.Thank you for being you.
Because my world will never be the same again.

It's beautiful. That's all there is. Here's to 'the best days of you life'. May you stay forever young!

'Different' are what the 'worlds' are meant to be, because if they aren't, they wouldn't be 'worlds', I guess.

Aww, lovely and very heart-warming post. And I agree with Neel, (he has put it very well)- may you stay forever young. :-)

sujaan said...

agree with what karthik said, and though your world will not be the same, it will be beautiful nonetheless...

and the title, did you intend to spell "belive" like that?

little boxes said...

@sujaan: no that's a typo that will be rectified :)

sujaan said...

Oh LOL, i thought it's some high fundoo pun, "I be-live in yesterday" (I am living in yesterday)

Karthik Purushothaman said...

And hey.. Don't know if you got it, but I merely said 'worlds' are different because they're 'worlds' (as in, the plural) and if they were the same, they would just be 'world' and not 'worlds', it's like a unification, some verbal socialism.

Heck, I just want this lady to 'not cry'. :D

dont write such stuff, just dont. You do a great disservice to us who read these and become oh-so-nostalgic

Hugs.

Life will never ever be the same. I felt like you about JU. But times change. I can't bear to go back too much nowadays because JU is no longer the same. I delayed the acknowledgement of this truth as long as I could but it was something I finally forced myself to face.I wish I could assure you that wouldn't be the case with LSR but that would be wishful thinking.

I can promise you one thing however : those memories, they'll always be there, always giving you strength and support and solace whenever you need them.

All the best !

Aww, you're gradutating! May you have lots of luck and love!

It's two more years for me and all the other 3rd years in college are leaving. Sigh.
