Alma Mater 5th Dec 2008


I have always been lucky to be in the best places to study even though i am not that a topper in the classes....This happened when I made my revolutionary decision of taking literature as my subject for graduation.But I realized soonthat its the most appropriate decision that i ever made in my life.
Ivanios has always been a dream for me.A place where I just dreamt to be and never thought would be a part of...But then the day came when I finally got admission there after all the melodrama of getting and losing it ....Its also my another resolution to study only in merit seat which got fulfilled.....Three years of living in the dream...its now a golden time that I long to get back..Alas!!! Why cant the time just rewind as its in the films???
After getting into another prestigious institution for my post graduation,I could meet my teachers after 3 months.....I was pretty sad that i could never find out time and go there and be in my evergreen days of fun....but then when our classmates who moved to Hyderabad cam for their vacation, we finally found time to go there...I found one of our classmates waiting for us at the gate...the moment i found her ...it was exactly the same as to get your long lost treasure back....
We walked all through the road that leads to our department.....it all changed....
i found a very old tharavadu being renovated to an ultra modern mansion.
We walked through every corner of our college.....met many teachers whom we love sometimes more that our parents....spent time sitting at the canteen ...sharing the canteen lunch which is as always the untearable parotta...and the rice....but it tasted so delicious......all the good old days were brought to us...the free hours that were spent chattering ,fighting laughing crying ....all under the old "punnamaram"...our "pancharamukku".....which now is almost deserted....
My heart leaped to be there the whole day....have all my friends around me....and just my dream to be true once again for at least a second.......We walked down the steps which wont call us back to the old classrooms,the old library,the old department and the old pancharamukku.........
But...its always a truth...time which passed is lost....nothing can bring back the moments that are lost.....no matter where I go what Ii do in my life the dream that I lived would be the most treasured as a handful of memories......my memories of the Alma mater....
