Entry: Farewell Monday, February 06, 2006



After 14 years of carry brick-heavy bags and books…. wearing those skirts and pinofers….polishing shoes….white ribbons and white hair bands ….and what not!
I can only say…was that life imprisonment or what?….

We FINALLY had our farewell, which wasn't as good as we had expected (due to the same reason for which our informatics exam was postponded). However, we managed to get the best out of it.

I can't believe I wore a sari….and what's even more hard to believe is that I actually managed to walk without falling (I'm famous for that)! :P yeah I almost lost control two times but that was fine.

The best (or should I say the worst) part was the oath taking. I was glad to find myself standing between two of my sweet friends but at the same time I forgot how good they were at PJs. It all began well…with the candle on our left hand and the right one perpendicular to us (I'm forgetting English learning Physics) …no chance of crossing-fingers too…
The only thing I was really uncomfortable with was… I was in the first row. Lucky guys! They were made to stand somewhere at the back…there are hardly any visible in the pic too.

[Friend1 – she was on the right , Friend2 – was on my left]

Principal : "On the 5th day of February, 2006…."

We : "On the 5th day of February, 2006…."

After few more lines…princi increased her speed and the length of the sentences…

Principal : "…I will do all in my power and….*something something that nobody understood* :-S "

So I tried listening to my friends next to me and I ended up laughing and giggling

Friend2 : "I will do all in my power and I didn't understand a word of what you said"

Principal : "…I'll not let corruption and *…if only we had a dictionary with us! *"

This time I thought Friend1 could be trusted…

Friend1 : "I'll not…damn! When is it finishing? My hand is paining!"

I guess I was the only one who took the oath showing all my teeth and giggling like mad and that too when I was standing in the first row …totally exposed! I wonder if you can imagine that!:P

This was followed by placing the candle over the place we'll will be going to for our further studies. I didn't want to walk a long distance (actually… didn't want to get entangled in my sari and screw my day) so placed it somewhere on Amchi Mumbai.
And some who forgot to learn the map before coming to the farewell thought that guessing would do :p…For instance, some took Africa for India, Punjab for Delhi!:D and some undecided and confused candles (or may be those which ran out of space) ended up in the oceans and seas…the rest I can recall is that Kerala was burning and there were three in US.

Now…here is a sneak peak of the event…











Some of sweetest friends! AB, Suzan, IMM , Monalisa






Now don't tell me you don't know which one is me...

Ending this post with....umm...ya! u guessed it!

Graduation by Vitamin C


And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels...

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

Woohoo! Graduu-ATIOn!
Congrats,... Damn!
Well.. you guys had an oath too eh?..
hehe.. we sneaked out during hours.. I think the oath taking was too much, specially since we knew there was no way in hell we were going to abide by it.. plus the good ol bottle of Old Monk was waiting in my friends car ..:)

It's hard not too miss school, but college is a lot more fun!

Lol! I really liked the speech thing.. I had some absolutely boring people standing besides me...

You know something.. When the princi asked us to keep the candle on the left palm and extend the right hand.. I was totally confused! In stead of extending my right hand, I placed my right palm over the flame!!

When I saw the girls from the first row raising their right hand I was totally embarassed.
