'A Picture Perfect Farewell'

-

 While leaving this place, I was overwhelmed with emotions. The journey was one of a kind. It is not a straight yes if you ask whether I liked it. As I went through the peaks and valleys, all the academic stress was ultimately worth it. The weight of assignments and exams sometimes felt unbearable, testing the limits of my endurance. I conquered fears, embraced the unknown, and grew into a version of myself I never thought possible.

Amid the academic turmoil, the camaraderie I shared with the people whom I still call my people will forever hold a special place in my heart. We laughed together until tears streamed down our faces, created memories that defied the boundaries of time, and supported each other through triumphs and setbacks. 




Yet, I also faced the bitter truth that not all relationships were meant to withstand the tests of time. Some friendships faded, consumed by the complexities of life's journey. While the pain of those losses was palpable, I've realised that the quality of the friendships truly matters, not the quantity. The bonds that endured, the connections that remain steadfast, are the ones that are truly worth cherishing.

Standing at the end of this chapter, I can confidently say it was all worth it. The sleepless nights, the moments of self-doubt, the sacrifices made—every ounce of effort helped my academic growth and self-discovery. The campus halls and hostel walls have seen my tears, heard my laughter, and witnessed my transformation.



I'm penning this for myself so that when I think of this place and embark on the next chapter of my journey, I can come back to these pictures and remind myself of the indomitable spirit this place instilled in me. The memories I’ve shared, the lessons I've learned, and the on-and-off friendships, everything will forever remind me of this place's profound impact on my life. 

Thankyou NITT❣️

The People We Meet

  Life is a long road filled with people we never expected to meet. Some walk beside us for a while, some stay forever, and some leave, but not without leaving a part of themselves behind. Every person we meet adds something—colour, warmth, chaos, or lessons. Sometimes, they leave us questioning, sometimes, they make us feel alive. In childhood, friendships are simple. You meet someone in school, bond over cartoons, share lunch, and suddenly, you’re best friends. There’s no overthinking, no fear of losing them. But as we grow, people come into our lives in more complex ways. Some stay, some fade, and some leave scars. Yet, each of them shapes us, teaching us things we never knew about ourselves. Then comes the phase when you meet people who challenge your views, push you out of your comfort zone, and make you see the world differently. Maybe it’s a college friend who introduces you to poetry, a coworker who teaches you kindness, or a stranger who leaves an impact with just one conv...

Long Lost Love

Love has always been one of life’s most profound and elusive pursuits. In this generation, where connections are often fleeting and communication can feel superficial, finding genuine love can seem like navigating a maze with no clear exit. Many of us carry stories of almost-loves and fleeting romances that shape our perspectives on relationships. These stories often blend joy, disappointment, and bittersweet lessons into an intricate tapestry of human experience. There’s a particular sting in being drawn to someone who seemed to care deeply at first, only to watch that spark fade without warning. It’s as if they saw something extraordinary in you one moment and, in the next, turned away, leaving you to question what changed. The uncertainty, the unanswered questions—it stays with you. But perhaps this is the nature of modern dating: connections formed in haste sometimes dissolve just as quickly. And then there are the ones who sweep you off your feet with grand gestures, making you fe...

The Meet Cute

  Sometimes, life places you somewhere for a dream you’ve been holding close to your chest for years. You arrive with your mental checklist: goals to chase, projects to nail, deadlines to meet. You tell yourself you’re here for this one thing .  But people have a funny way of sneaking into your plans. It starts small, a random conversation at the coffee counter, a shared umbrella on a stormy day, a stranger laughing at the same oddly specific joke you thought only you found funny. And then your mind whispers: Could this be… the meet-cute? You half-pray it is. But also half-pray it isn’t. Because the real meet-cute, the kind that messes with your heart’s GPS, might come with warning labels. Sometimes it’s the “it could cost you a leg or an arm” kind. Not literally (hopefully), but in the way it demands sacrifices you’re not ready to make. The dream you came for? It might not survive the detour. And so you learn. You don’t chase every “cute” you meet. You smile at it, poc...
