I think all of us should atleast listen to the pink floyd song TIME,,which in my opinion is one of the greatest songs ever written.This song has a unique quality,it tends to get better with time,just like alcohal.You tend to agree with the songwriter every time u listen to it.The only drawback being that it has a certain unpleasant,hard feeling and u cannot escape it.
It has been almost 3 months since i got the license to treat patients,since i officially passed(against my expectations though!)and i can already feel my life coming apart slowly and systematically.The hostel life is gone,all the friends are far away,weather is bad and there seems to be no end to the books i am supposed to read for the pg entrance.Life,i must say had never been so dry,not atleast in the past 5 years at manipal,and slowly but surely i can't agree more with pink floyd song.The joy of standing at the coffee shop looking at girls,hoping 'something' might happen,,,discussing the politics like u have a stake in the government.....listening to the music in khokhar's room seems like a fairytale now.There is no one like billu to cheer you up,tell you about some new deal,and discuss some mundane and impossible(seemingly) business venture.I remember dave,always happy nomatter what the occassion,no matter what the circumstances......immune to the feelings of outside world.
I miss cries of joy at passing exams, the fear and agony associated with the university exams.Everyone behaved like a close knit family,actually even better than a family sometimes.Compare the times now,the world seems like a vast ocean and i am like a fool trying to cross it on a canopy,all by myself.
The most difficult part of leaving ur college and coming home is the fact that u are more or less changed,accustomed to the 'kings' life of hostel(of course u don't realize that then!!!pity)....and if u happen to go to a place like manipal ur thinking undergoes a damatic change,for good or bad i don't know.But u feel the diff. while talking to ur old friends and for that matter to ur brother or sister too.Yes i know its just a phase just like going to the hostel for the first time was.Even that time was tough but only after a few days we were behaving like we were the bonafide citizens of manipal!!!.So would this time too,onlt thing required is the patience to endure.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYiahoYfPGk
