Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start
When memory plays an old tune on the heart!
For VGSoMites like me, the tune can be an assorted mix of an occasional cycle bell tring, buzzing of little green insects (hell yes! :)), the thought of a movie night marathon, mention of words bakar, assignments, group discussion, group studies, …well err…group chaos, maggi, xerox, committee, coffee, Illu, DC++….. it goes on and on….
As we say there is never a dull moment at VGSoM…except maybe when the LAN is down….
The course begins with a balancing act - on the cycle, in the rain, with a new lappy clung alongside and with/without rain gear (doesn't change things much)...first lesson learned and first skill conquered…multi-tasking...which we all master by the end of the course through activities like concentrating on Bonds and Debentures while munching on the calorie rich egg cheese sandwich at Eggies, reading Dilbert on lappy and pretending to take notes, positioning oneself in a way to avoid the line of sight of professors and catching up on lost sleep….yeah we are a talented bunch ;)
One would truly reminisce these golden moments of leisure and learning specially after entering the big bad corporate world… will miss those formidable archetypal pillars bearing the "Dedicated to the Service of Nation" message, which even after two straight night outs never fails to raise that unusual fervor in you….
Maybe few years down the line in our respective careers, whenever we would look back upon the crazy days spent in our beloved Alma Mater, each one of will know how every moment spent there, in some way has shaped us into what we are today….truly the best of times!!
