You know that feeling when you really, REALLY miss something...but you know you cannot have it...and it leaves you feeling very very sad? That's nostalgia for you...coming and whacking you where it hurts most...
I got that feeling today...and boy with a vengeance...!I knew from quite some time now that there would be no going back to IIFT...it has been coming on for a long time...but today...the whole idea of not being able to go back as a student again (unless I do my Ph.D in some trade related thing...which is a BIG no no coz it makes nostalgia feel like the best thing on earth)...it is unbearable...I want to go back :(
It all started with a bottle of deoderent I bought this morning...it was my fave in IIFT...and had been out of stock for a while...My nose just took me straight back to the bed in my hostel room...the sounds...the smells...the whole feeling...it just came rushing back!
Anyhow...fought off the feeling till sometime back...when I got down to ccp-ing a Maths assignment for my bro (penalty for taking the grape jelly icecream he'd got for himself...Put ice cream in front of me...and I go dumb and promise anything!)...well...the whole thing tugged at some more memories...1st Trisem....Humungous Maths assignment...all of us begging/borrowing/stealing (Yeah...STealing)...other people's completed assignments at 2:30 in the morning...trying to finish it before the 9 a.m class...I put on some music...and the Ipod ended up playing the very songs I used to be addicted to that year...What fun it was!!!
And now...with a whole new world waiting to open up before me (highly skeptical about it already thanks to the most soporific summers)...I can't seem to move on...
Maybe it's a passing phase...maybe by tomorrow morning I'll go back to cherishing the awesome time I'm having right now...maybe my Gtalk de-addiction withdrawal symptoms are causing this silly mood...
Whatever it is...those were the 2 most awesome years of my life...I can take the nostalgia...I just don't want to forget a single moment of the bestest days ever...
