Well, I convinced myself, you are older than all of them. The only reason you are here is, you need a Job. Your classmates are on average 2-3 years younger than you. No need to get involved.  

And, today… Officially, I am an Alumni of Techno India, Salt Lake.

Jobs ? Got One, Left That… Got Another One…. Done…

Not getting involved… Well, those who know me, know pretty damn well how shitty I am at that…

MCA for me became a neatly wrapped bouquet of memories, and I have to say this is one of the most memorable educational institute I’ve ever been to. Yes, I know, we all have complaints about the Training and Placement Cell. But problem is, if someone considers only the building and compound and bureaucrats as ‘Techno India’, he/she is a moron on his/her own admission.

How can you forget the people, all those living beings, with whom you sat through boring classes and tense examinations? How can you forget those people, with whom, you took advantage of a malfunctioning fire-alarm and ran away from the college ? Memories are what defines us, what chisels us into shape… good and bad alike…

I was hesitant to make friends, felt a little bit offended when kids born in ’96 spoke to me in ‘tui-tukari’ dialect. But things changed, very soon. And I ended up making friends I never thought I’d make. And I most certainly got the best juniors EVER. I can vouch for that.

But, after all, I’m Chacha…

So, I guess It’s about time I deliver my blessings (ha ha) :

To all the Couples Ankita-Pritam, Arijit-Riya, even Madhurima and Sounav… May I get Invited to each of your weddings.

To Hoga, May you get involved with a suitable Married Woman and have a scandalous life ahead.

To Lunku, May you acquire a suitable girlfriend, with her as your model, one day you may win a ‘CAMARENA Academy Mentor’s Choice Award…

To Asim, I have nothing but sympathy for you; It is hard, loosing three potential girlfriends in one month.

To Tanwi, I’m coming to your wedding, Fikar-Not…

Jokes apart…

I missed you today, Aritra…

I will miss you all- Mona, Aheli, Debarati, Swapneel, Bittu, Tyapa…

There is no need to wish for the life ahead. We will survive, and we will thrive; I have absolutely no doubt.

I just hope, we have the enthusiasm to get back together, once in a while. Because to me, Techno India is you guys. My Classmates… My Friends…

Peace…

Neel…
