The last Nightout... I'm sure gonna miss this place...

Tomorrow, I bid farewell to the place that has given me a new identity,,, my college. For four years, I have identified myself as part of this wonderful place, and as the last moments arrive, I feel a sense of being abandoned. When I return to this place, whether it be a few weeks or a few years later, I won't be a student anymore. The feeling is overwhelming.

I watch helplessly as my friends leave... wondering why I did not leave sooner. Saying one goodbye to all is definitely better than having to say goodbyes to so many... wondering when we'll be able to see each other again... Ruthless corporates have tossed almost all of us to every nook and cranny of the country.

Last night, four of us - Rejith, Amal, Ravi and me snuck into the Open Air Theatre at night. The night was perfect for stargazing... no moon, no clouds, just we beneath the stars. Listening to 'I'll miss my college days' under a starry sky, reminiscing about the uncountable adventures of the past four years, might be an oft-repeated cliche, but this frame of mind deserves a cliche. Afterwards, the four of us roamed around campus, plucking mangoes and jackfruits from the abundant trees.

I sit in the computer center now, typing out these lamenting lines. I wonder how much longer my login will last. Perhaps they are deleting it right now.

Thank you my friends, for making me who I am.
Thank you my teachers, for having faith in me. I can only hope I have done justice to you.
Thank you my college, for giving me the best years of my life.

I'll miss you all
