REMINISCENCE OF TIME

There were so many of these moments that could never be captured

accurately, but only in the heart.
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Now I'll Tell You Everything
The placements seasons are over. The tension mongering over the
aspiring and twinkling eyes have faded. Now is the time to relax through
the senses of dreams, imagining about the beautiful life that is going to be
after they leave their Alma mater. They may leave MDI but their hearts
will always be mandevian for life
This is the wave floating among the PG14 students these days, hovering
around activities to keep them engaged to this beautiful institute in few of
their last breaths left physically within the campus boundaries. After
placements many of them have rushed on to wander in midst of nature,
scaling up to the mountains of Kasaul or encroaching the serene deserts
of Jaisalmer. Few of those weekends left are well spent in the Pubs of
Gurgaon or the theka. After all, this is the time for partying baby!
Amidst all those wonderful moments, cherished at each and every pulse
of life, there are few moments spent to capture these into the memories
to be woven forever into gifts like friendship and love. These are the
special ways of remembering those two beautiful years when each of
them had started with an ambition which they have fulfilled at this place.
The club parties for instance, an official way of passing the torch to the
new bearers in hope that they would further take the clubs to pinnacles,
have already been initiated. A confession box, to all those witty and
interesting tales which when re-visited tell an entire saga of the
awesomeness the air has in MDI. The testimonials have been captured in
the year books and the perceptions have changed from what it was 2
years ago.
A sports feat, Clash of Titans, is organised to showcase the supremacy and
legacy to the junior batch showing them who is the boss. The Football
Premier league, which although had more junior batch players, was most
enjoyed by the senior batch, cajoling on all the mistakes the players did
when not listening to the experienced ones.
And finally when all the fun and enjoyment blends the atmosphere into
happiness, a small realisation occurs that these will be all left soon. After
all, how these 2 years have passed is a mystery never to be solved. To
capture these beautiful last moments, a photo session is organised where
face bears a wide smile but the eyes are filled with tears of joy and
reminiscence which can only be felt, never told
