Those memories...

Saturday night my sis left to kodaikanal. School tour. I miss her. Our house seems to be noticeably silent. No mess or fuss here. Especially during nights I miss my roommate. We (me n sis) usually lay there in the bed staring at the stars on the ceiling, prattling late in the night and then the fighting for the ipod, arguing about which song should be played next. Last 2 nights I had to sleep alone with nobody to bicker on some crap. I just lay there reading a book till 1.30 or so last night until my eyes started burning. I just fell asleep then.

And Saturday we went to the station to send her off. I met few of my school teachers there. Most of teachers now in school are new. So I dint know many of them. The train left egmore at 9.15 p.m and there were goodbyes to parents and relatives from the students. It’s just a 3 day trip yet I could find some of them fighting back their tears (both the kids and their parents). So were my sis and mom. Parents worried about their child’s safety. Throwing all their advices to their kid. Dad had a couple of them for ma sis too. That was funny. Don’t go near the door when the train is moving fast. Don’t go anywhere without informing your teachers. Don’t loiter around without your comrades’ company and all that. The coupe in which sis had her seat was all fuss. Students moving in and out, screaming at the top of their voice, discussing who’s going to sit with whom, carrying their bags from one seat to another. Lot of confusion prevailed. But still there was fun-filled around that place. It’s their 1^st tour with their classmates so they were all anxious, I could see. When the train started to move we waved to her, told her to take care and be careful, to call as soon as they boarded their rooms n Kodai and settled. The girls started screaming and shouting with all their joy. The ambience of that place reminded me of my own experiences- Our school tour in 11^th to Hyd and during 12^th to Kodai and also the college tours to B’lore, Mysore and Ooty in 3^rd year and to Kerala in final. Every tour is unforgettable in its own way. I’ve visited all those places before with my family but then these tours with friends are totally different, aren’t they? It’s totally anew and a super-learning experience. You get to know your friends better. You get to know a lot about the people around you (previously you may think you know everything about them but then your experience in the tour may prove it diff!) I hope some of my friends will comprehend what I mean right! You also learn to adjust with a lot of things. It’s all good and fun! Sema experience !

And I miss them now! :(

I miss everything.. I miss school. I miss college. I miss being a student. I miss my friends. I miss those good times we had.

So I get back home at 10 or so and search for my photos DVD and have a look at all the pics clicked during my college tours. But I couldn’t get hold of the school tour snaps then as they are in some photo album in the cup-board. Now, I am going to have a look them to reminiscence those memories.:)
