Wish i could turn back time...

Today I realise just how right my Mom was....today even I would gladly give up 10 years of my life in return for 1 year of college life. I remember,whenever she used to say this I used to have a smirk on my face...I was totally certain then that I would NEVER EVER get to a point where I would make such statements. But how wrong I was...just 1 month after stepping out of college I find myself making the exact same statement...

Yes,I used to hate engg like hell. Yes,I used to long for that day when I'd be free of the shackles of engg. Yes,I used to be totally frustrated at having to go through the torturous semesters of engg. But today I realise just how narrow minded I was. I never ever looked on the positive side of being that engg environment....The other side of things.... My classmates,spending those precious moments in the college canteen,parking,bunking lectures....Addiction...discussing about cricket...the inter-college cricket tournaments every year....the pride of playing for your college...the disappointement of having lost close matches every year....preparing meticulously for Addiction...the feeling of eternal bliss after having performed well on stage...The only Traditional day where I'd dressedup as a Bhatjibua...I guess the list is endless.

What a fool I've been not to realise the value of these precious moments at the right time. Today I truly understand the meaning of the saying "You understand the value of something only when its no longer there". Wish I could go back in time and live it all again. And this time I'll live it the way it was meant to be. Wish I could go back...
