When I was in 1st year, in the 1st semester when I had just started out in Patiala, I didn't unpack my clothes from my suitcase, I hadn't set my almirah and more or less still 'lived out of a suitcase'. Why I did that was because I wanted to pretend to myself that I was in Patiala on a very short and temporary basis. Such was my homesickness. The fact that I was going to be there for 4 more years still hadn't registered.
And at the end of those 4 years, I felt the same way. Except that I didn't want to leave college and come back home.
Now, at times I even watch Etc Punjabi on TV.
As I wrote the last line, I almost died of laughter!...the way things change.
Anyhow, one thing I understood after meeting up with old college buddies, after college got over was that things will never be the way they were in college. As someone rightly said - times change, people change. It was a different time then.
And I for sure miss it.
