Dreams On Fire

My first real post may be... the past few days i have been feeling kinda strange... sure of myself, at the same time unsure of myself... this sem i have had a hell lot of free time... spent mostly sleeping, watching tv series (One Tree Hill, Prison Break), reading newspaper and studying... in that order

Looking back at the 4 years i have spent at BITS... it has been one hell of a journey... living away from home for the first time, far from the protective environment... i wasn't sure i would be able to survive the 4 years of engg... but now, when some 20 days or so are left for me to graduate as an engineer (though i hardly consider myself to be one)... i feel i have come quite a long way... from the reserved, confused, agitated person i was 4 years back... i am a much stronger, confident and independent person today... i don't consider myself to have learnt a lot academically or studies-wise... but the experiences that BITS has given me... experiences with people, places, situations... these have moulded my personality to a large extent... some of these experiences have been fabulous...great friends, who have been there for me through thick and thin... advised me, lifted me, supported me, encouraged me, chided me :) ... i cant thank BITS enuf for getting me to places and situations, so that i could become close to these people...
some unpleasant experiences too... there have been misunderstandings, fights, heartbreaks... each of them , teaching me a bit or two... am glad that i haven't come out weaker, if not stronger, each time...

today, when i am about to step into the hurly-burly of the corporate world... i cant even begin to imagine the kind of life awaiting me there... i hope its fun, eventful and enriching in every which way... i will miss my college, but more so, i will miss the bonds i made here, i will miss the people i met here, people who have left an indelible impression on me... i will carry with me the fond memories i have with each one of them... of the ones which turned unpleasant included... i guess this is what u call life.... cherishing the past, absorbing the present and looking forward to the future... on this note, i will end the post... below is the lyric of the song i am listening to right now... its what motivated me to write this post (dunno how)... enjoy d lyric... ciao.


You are my waking dream
You're all that's real to me
You are the magic in the world i see

You are in the prayer i saying
You are in my two my names

You are the faith that make me be live
Dreams on fire
Higher n higher

Passion burning
Ride on the path
Once for forever yours
In me
All your heart
Dreams on fire
Higher n higher


You are my ocean rage
You are my thought each day
you are the laughter from childhood games
You are things further down
You are where i belong

You are make me feel in every songs

Dreams on fire
Higher n higher
Passion burning
Ride on the path
Once for forever yours
In me
All your heart
Dreams on fire
Higher n higher

senti-giri chaalu?? college has changed you (and all of us) for good... and yes the bonds made in college are special... as for situations- weirdest of them have risen during the last 3-4 years

but its gonna we great stepping out of here too... it has prepared me well... you too... so take whatever comes in your stride and rock on :)

Though a li'l cliched and abstracted, but overall a nice recollection of events over the last 4 years. You could do so much better! :P

And since you are so much in love with OTH, I should warn you about the sixth season; it's going to blow!

Tanaya said...

thanks ankit... i will try to do better in d future :)
abt OTH, yeah, season 6 has been, well, disappointing... esp. after d rocking seasons 1-4 and a decent season 5... seems as if the writers have lost d plot midway... i miss d times when d characters were in high school!

Nalini said...
