College has been fun, until...

After a looong hiatus, I finally found something interesting to write about - My dear college.


It has been 2 years since i've been studying in college. There is so much that has been happening with my life around this place that is situated in some corner of Ahmedabad city.

Imagine being so busy and occupied that you are not free even to feel homesick. Believe me, I survived 5 months without going home. Even Diwali vacation was spent over there. But work has been the part and parcel of my everyday. I don't even realise what date it is until I look at the calendar just to realise that a random friend needs to be wished a happy birthday (no offense guys).

 
A lot has changed in these 2 years. My behavior towards different kinds of people, their influence and how they could manipulate you into doing something out of your comfort zone. That has made me learn about how seriously you should listen to a person that you have met randomly in college as compared to a person who was there with you for these complete 2 years. I have seen people change groups and talk behind the back of people they used to live with. 

And suddenly, you also realise that after graduating, you will have to leave everything and come back home. Everytime I get this thought, I get shivers around my body. A person like me, who gets easily connected to people will suffer after everything comes to an end. There is not a single day that goes without interacting with the same people. After college is over, all of us will be running behind our dreams and career. 


In spite of all these emotional feelings, I have been trying to enjoy college life as much as I can. Walking around in free time, talking to our favourite teachers, late night video calls with your batchmates while struggling with work, that 1 am maggie time, festivals, events, volunteering, attending those boring theory lectures, having fun while working with materials and softwares - there is so much that is happening altogether. This is the time that will be cherished until you are alive.


At this point of time when I am mid-way with college, I have been feeling getting used to the college environment so much that living at home is a bit boring. 

Consider this as a reality check from me... but this is what is happening with me at least.

All I know right now is that everything that starts has to end at some point of time. All you can do is enjoy every moment and event that is happening in these years. 
Regret karne ke liye toh poora life diya hai :)

Kasauti Jury ke stress ki

Some relative came and asked me - tumhare exams nahi hote kya? Exams nahi hote  but there is this one-day presentation known as THE JURY. Jury is that complete 4 course meal that has to be made using all your skills that you have obtained until now with all the knowledge acquired and that meal has to be presented in the final round of Masterchef. And the judges will decide on which dish is the best and which is not, but in order to deliver a satisfactory menu, you have work equally hard everyday so that the perfect taste is achieved. Imagine, you have worked hard all over the year and then one day, a person with 15 or 20 years of experience comes and says "This design already exists" or "This design is nonsense" or "You are not supposed to study in a design college".  Heartbreak, regret, sadness, grief, stress and all other synonyms of them start entering your heart one by one and make it sink deep into the ocean of demotivation. This was my point of view ...

How I Ended Up as a Design Student

All of us are a main character in our Story Of Life. People like me (an average introvert who will definitely over think before speaking about anything) never like to talk about what is happening in their life -or maybe nothing is happening at all.  However, these three years after passing out from school have been a rollercoaster for me, where I don't pay for the ticket, but I experience everything that happens during the ride.  And let me be honest, this is just the beginning.  School was good, but I was never actually interested in those subjects. Talking about science and maths, I was into none of them. It was like an unsuccessful arranged marriage.  Something that I was genuinely interested in was Art. An external affair I had during school.  School ka rishta humne acche se nibhaya, par dil me jagah Art ne le li thi. And that was a start to a journey as an Artist. I started taking interest in painting, mandala art, sketching and all sorts of art mediums. I ...
