Void Left by college Life...

Its been just over 4 years since i passed out from the college and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember my college life and smile...
It just seems like yesterday..


There was no Bike/Car , was just BMTC bus.. I was Happy..
No Thousands of rupees in my wallet , I was Rich...
Cheta's one by two tea was a substitute for cafe mocha, I was content.
One Plate Gobi shared by 6 guys was Unlimited buffet , I was pleased..
Friends' birthday treat at a nearby dhaba was Khansama's Lunch, I was Joyous..
Bread Omlette in canteen was subway club sandwich, I was Glad.
Friends' adda near the stadium was Air conditioned cube, I was High spirited...
Intel Celorn with 500 mhz, 256 mb ram was a supercomputer, I didn't complain...
Walking 2 kms from the bus stop was top exercise in talwarkers, I was healthy..
Getting 15/25 in internals was like getting 50% hike, I was delighted..
Playing cricket with buddies was team outing, I never gave Up..
Formatting the project report and running around for printouts was whole project itself, I enjoyed..
Lab assistants were project managers, never spoke ill against them...
Kodak camera was High end digital cameras, I was thankful
Nokia 1100 and 3510 were HTC touch and i-phone , I was Smiling.
Bunking classes were privileged leave, I never regretted..
Theater near college was Multiplex, I whistled...
A bottle of KF beer was as good as Teacher's whiskey, It gave me high...
College heartbreak Was more agonizing than a bee sting, but it didn't pain..
Money owed to pals were written off without a second though, It didn't matter..
Chits, micro xerox were like Project Planning, It never felt wrong...
Part time job which paid 300 bucks per day was a Multi million dollar job Offer, never felt less...
10 kms walk with a friend was a walk to remember, Felt good ...
Old walk man's were i-pod's, It was never out of tune ..
Free style dance backstage in a college fest was Disco In pub, I enjoyed..
10 guys in the loo Shouting, yelling, calling names was new trend, Never looked Indecent...
Being in bad Boys gang was a good thing, Was better when it was bad..
College Cricket tournament win looked like champions trophy, felt like King of the world..
The day you wore a clean pair of sock, you felt like a Doctor... Never Grossed out :)
All the talks about who's the cutest chick of the class was the daily agenda, Never felt out of place..
Bums on the butt was birthday gift, I was really thankful..

All that remains are memories . Reminiscences of the past lingers and leaves a Void in me...
I just wish i can be a student just for one day... :)
