Living away from home … The title isn’t very catchy. This is the thing which most of the people want to do when they are young .
I was very enthusiastic when I got admission in the college away from home . Nearly 1000 kms away . Full freedom no restriction and blah blah blah. I arrived at college new place, new friends, new life etc. All seemed too fascinating to me. I was on cloud 9 that this is a wonderful place I can do what I want.
YEAR -I
The year started. I was very happy to be a college student more than that I am a free person now. I feel no separation kind of thing towards home. I was just incredibly happy. I never called my mother. She calls me whenever she wanted to talk. I never cared to ask my parents for something. I tell them afterwards.
In short I was enjoying the new life. Feeling more mature etc.
I was a bit inclined to studies. Giving good result is something that comes from within me. So I kept good academic records in this year. Also I was involved in almost every activity of college. This was probably a initial surge of enthusiasm-born energy which was coming from within . I don’y want to say more about this year as nothing interesting happened in this year..
Year I passed like this.
YEAR II
This year came with more enjoyment because we are seniors so we can do everything freely. Make fun of Juniors and enjoy classes more because most of the time I was reading novels in class. All these habits like late night movies, Chatting etc. caught me very badly and I lost my track. I was a spoilt one and still thinking I am right. Spoilt my 3rd sem. But saved myself considerably by doing well in exams.
Now in 4th sem I did a thing which I admit now is a worst mistake of my life till now. I fell in love. Unknowingly I fell in a thing which is not my goal and lost track completely. I was doing everything keeping my love in my mind. That was a mistake and I want to forget that. First time ever I have given someone priority over my studies ( A tremendous mistake I already mentioned) 4th sem is also passing. At the fall of Sem 4 I started feeling a special sense of responsibility towards my parents. And when I thought thoroughly I reached to the conclusion I was breaching their trust very badly and will surely gonna hurt them in the near future. Then I realised that I have done mistake. I put down that girl ( I still feel bad about that ). Now the love for parents is at the full swing in my heart. The sense of separation is creeping in my heart more and more.
Now YEAR III has started and I am missing my parents , My home etc. Its a surprising transformation but a good one.
Living away from home is the most unlucky thing that many students have to do to fulfill their parents’ hopes. I want to see my parents happy and that is the only thing I want. So this small exile to IIIT-H is only for their happiness. I wish that I will get chance of spending my life after college with them. I don’t want Job outside India. And If I get job abroad then I wish that my economic conditions will be such that I can keep them with me. I wanna live with them.
Enough of separation. Just 3 more years then I will always live with them or keep them with me where ever I go.
Final Line..
Living Away From Home Worths only when you are fulfilling the dreams of those two persons who unconditionally love you and who have more hopes attached with you than any other person in this world.
