At first I just couldn’t notice it. I ignored it as some common post-placement season blues. Or maybe it was just that I was missing the festive spirit.
But the feeling just started getting stronger. I could just feel it in my whole body. Something creepy. I was having strange dreams at night. Like something had been taken away from me which I would never get back. Something which everyone else around me enjoyed but I had lost it.
I couldn’t eat properly. Nor could I sleep. I was growing restless. I took a break from work and tried to relax but it was of no use. I tried listening to my fav songs but somehow I found them boring. I tried watching my fav TV sitcoms but even they were boring. I lost count of days. I tried talking to my friends and family but to no avail. I still couldn’t figure it out.
What was it?
It was a sense of something lost. I knew this much for sure.
Was I missing my friends? (Those bakar sessions,Nighouts...........)
Was I missing playing sports? (Inter IIT: still hurts)
Was I missing playing FIFA and CS? (Sucked but enjoyed)
Was I missing my home? (After all it's been more than two months since I last went back)
Oh god. I think I was missing some lost love? (Ahh...That awful pain in the stomach when your heart gets crushed...When you see the love of your life walking away with someone else..Hand in hands..When you wanna say so much but you the time has already ran past you)
Nah…Now I know it… I was missing………Going to department for lectures. Yes, you guessed it right. I have zero contact hours this semester. No lectures. No Tuts. No boring practicals. No more TS. No more of Endsems. Just plain 24 hours of vella time.
As people around me still worry about waking up early in the morning for going to their classes, worry about submitting tuts in time I sleep for 12 hours a day. Every day is a Sunday here.
As my friends worry about meeting deadlines in time, worry about working on weekends I take a break and go to home for ten days without taking anyone’s permission. It’s like a paradise.
And now that I know it, I simply love this feeling. I want to miss more of it. Six months of pure fun. So much time and so little to do. As
Calmness has prevailed. I feel relaxed now. As I prepare to pack my bags and leave for home for a break (don’t know when will I return) I am sure when I come back things would remain the same. You busy with your daily life while I will try to break my record of sleeping 26 hours at a stretch.
Enjoy
