It had to come to an end..:(

A train journey to the new phase of my life is what it is about.

With low spirits each one of us was trying to keep ourselves awake just to be with our companions of the whole year for some more time. Neither the fear of missing the train nor anything else could have made us hurry to leave the place that nurtured us for the whole year, gave us the most beautiful moments and the most amazing people to share these moments with. The clock was running faster than we wanted it to and just like any other good thing that has to come to an end no matter what we wish for, it all came to an end..reluctantly, we left the college campus. That day even the Chennai railway station felt so different with so many familiar faces around. There were around 50 of us who had to travel by the same train to Delhi, so technically we had one more day with our college mates which we wanted to live like our last day on earth. When the train arrived, after the initial chaos all of us settled in our respective places or others respective places;)...that’s the beauty of it when you have people in almost every compartment. It all felt like a big Great Lakers outing. If u get bored in one compartment you can just walk into another one and join them in something else...you can just chitchat with anyone on any useless topic....those two fun-filled days were just like the last nail in the coffin or rather like the icing on the cake…the end to this beautiful journey of 1 year and a start to yet an unknown new one. Till the very final moment I was into enjoying the company of all of the people whom I’ll never be meeting again without even realising this fact to slightest and once we reached the station the goodbyes began. These goodbyes gained more meaning the moment I stepped in the direction away from everybody else. I felt so lonely on that crowded platform that I immediately turned back and my eyes started searching for those familiar faces which used to lit up my face during past 1 year but to my disappointment could not find any..They were all gone...gone never to return back. That was the scariest moment...made me realise from now on its going to be only you standing for yourself...no hang outs with college friends, no group assignments, no teaming up for any competitions or any trip...the life from this very moment has changed and soon it is going to be completely different and I guess I was not yet prepared for it....was I??
