Nostalgia

University examination for SY, TY of all the disciplines have started today. Now once again, Vallabh Vidyanagar is going to be empty soon. The roads are already empty, if you go out in afternoons. You hardly find any college goers in Vidyanagar in that period. Of course, why would they remain in Vidyanagar. They have reason for stay back. They come to Vidyanagar in the month of June in order to study (academically saying). It reminds me the college days again, when were eagerly waiting for examination to come, not because we were studious or ready for the exams. No, not at all. The only reason for that wait was not of the commencement of the examination but the end of it. Simply, we could go to our home for a longer period of two months in summer vacation.


And the lots of activities back home. Afternoon sessions at one of the friends’ home, where the only two activates we did: playing chess and cards. Just after finishing lunch, we would gather at a place and start playing till five in the evening. And after that - going out and playing cricket till 7:30 invoked a sense of national player in us. We would fight with our friends while playing game for a little matter. Though cricket was never a passion for me, I remember those days when I used to play a good cricket. A wild thought once even came to my mind in those days that I would become a cricketer. Thank god, I did not take it seriously. Though playing cricket and badminton in society in summer gives unforgettable moments, you never thought in that way when you played those games. Some of your favourites and some you do not ever want recollect the memory of. The thing which matters is, it brings a cute smile on our face.


I don’t know these students have these things to enjoy summer vacation back home, but annual examination brings a sweet smile on face saying that this is year also going to end now so be ready to enjoy the April, which was not the cruelest month in student’s life.
