As I listen to Nickelback sing, “Time is going by so much faster than I...”.. I cannot help but wonder.. When exactly did it just pass me by?
When did the innocence of a school kid get lost somewhere in the search of a street smart teenager, when his curiosity got lost in the fear of sounding ignorant? All the toys and games lost to the charm of television & telephone...This was the coming of age..
A time when working on projects all through the night was fun...
When you did not know friends could be categorised...
When mass bunking was in the league of a dream come true...
When petty fights started and ended on the campus...
When what you understood of politics was a class of 100 students trying to mug up Articles...
When anything that cost under 20 bucks was a delicious wholesome meal...
When there was a term called ‘healthy competition’...
When people broke bottles in the canteen foyer only to be applauded by the rest of us...
When the worst thing that could happen to you was a pimple on your face...
When the Xerox guy was the ultimate life saver...
When you could stand in the sun for hours to cheer your team on without cribbing about the heat...
When Xavier’s not winning Malhar was the biggest crisis on the planet whether you were part of it or not...
When stress meant not having enough attendance in a particular class...& a bad day was when someone could not give your proxy...
When you did not mind getting up early on Saturday if you had to go to college...
When you were sure your Prince charming was out there... maybe even on campus...
When the stock market was just a bunch of numbers and the newspaper was where the crossword was...
When you only needed to know the answers to only 6 of the 10 questions..
When coming back home was the last thing that you ever wanted to do...

From the thrill of sneaking out of the house to go for a drink to planning a house party when your parents are not in town, I have lost a huge part of who I was to become what I think I want to be
P.S - This one's come after a long time for all those who can relate to the nostalgia
