Random - what to title it ?

Somebody has said it very nicely , "Memories are very fascinating, they make you cry when you had laughter and make you laugh when you cried for stupid things in past ".  I don't know what happened today which triggered this "sensitive"nerve of mine . I was listening to old hindi songs as usual and things started to make traffic jam in my mind .

Memories have no sequence, they have offsets. I didn't have great glorious life like price Charles  in past but certainly I am happy with whatever I have lived and I have enough to cherish for . Time is amazing thing, I wish I could play with it and go to the past and relive those moments. I don't want to change anything ( even if I did terrible mistakes ) its just perfect at that moment. An adrenaline pass through the blood and it takes me higher .

I remembered the days of engineering admission process. I was on my own. How I felt the form , how I went through the admission process and the first day of college . New guys new girls new campus . I never knew whats next at that point of time . The first semester ended before I could realize anything. I was 4 down. Another semester went and a year went down ;) I got new computer and I was so crazy after it and use to play games for 8-12 hrs without a sip of water. It wasn't like I enjoyed my year down but I was crazy in computer games. Engineering Mathematics I , II, II , engineering mechanics  were like biggest evils those days, I never liked  Maths. I hardly attended  the lectures in college. Neither I went to any coaching classes. I never filled rechecking and re-valuation forms ever in engineering . Though surprisingly I cleared this big obstacle I never had downs again. That makes me remember how I studied and cleared my engineering. Whole semesters I hardly cared for attending lectures and when PLs started it use to take a week to start studies. When things were upto the neck Surprisingly /automatically I studied for 15 Hrs and managed to score good . PLs are the best part of engineering. 40 theories , 16 practicals , 12 vivas. Same zeal , same thrill . The best part is the roamers about result declarations. someone use to spread about result dates which mostly use to be False and one day result really comes out . The anxious level on that day is sky high. I loved that .

I remember when I got my first job. First job is top highlighted thing in anyone's life. We all have some memories attached with it. I use to show off my access/id card while going to office. I still laugh I did that stupid thing . Just hold the access card on the door and door opens for you , yeah great feeling of that time . All AC office , you gonna work in front of PC whole day and you are going to be paid for same . Soon you realize the reality. Your mind pumps many things but your heart deny to accept. One day Mind wins.. I remember how I got Visa , how I was sent onsite alone. I remember my first flight experience. I remember the feeling of first emigration. I remember the look of that emigration officer gave at me . I remember the smile of air hostess. The never ending lonely days in Africa and the feeling of coming back home after Months , It felt like ages . Changing job becomes habitual and you don't feel it anymore . It becomes the part of life . You don't show off your ID card anymore. You are not proud of yourself for being a software engineer in fact "Some times "you feel pity for yourself.  Someday when you have big party and you are enjoying your unlimited multi-choice
cuisine , you remember how you use to manage "egg biryani" in your college days and laugh within yourself.

We were free birds. Clock didn't decide if its a day or night . Sleep for long days. Game for nights. Take your bike and go on unplanned trips. Friends were the world. I feel for some people, I wish they never go away from me. For some I don't care, I don't even try to remember them. Some people live impact on you. Some people teach you that don't become like them. I remember the girls I had crush on. I remember time had with Bappya, vaghya , pady , yogya and nilya . Pady use to imagine some stupid thoughts and I use to expand it , it was our daily program for years. Bappya's BJ hostel was another holiday resort for some time. Going to Pune station @ 2AM and having tea and pattis was lovely thing.

So many things gathered in mind but hardly some came on the white paper. I dunno what I skipped and what I put . But Its amazing. We are blessed with the most awesome thing called human brain.
Its not like I am old fellow who is about to retire from his career. I don't think I need that criteria to write about my life :) my memories are mine , will remain mine forever. This can be a poor attempt to cherish them but I love it .
