The Pensieve
This was few days back, rather few weeks ago - I stood in front of the ATM, trying to gather my thoughts, unable to find what I was searching for. A crunching noise from within the ATM made a similar rumbling noise within my mind, as if all thoughts were shuffling together to find their right place. The receipt popped out, to show me 1793. The number confirmed that the last transaction had been successful and the memories that I had been juggling till now, to evade that silent force, finally formed a pattern.
There was no running away now, I knew that my tenure as a Soc-Sec was over. It was now best for me to recollect whatever I can and cherish and enjoy till that fades out. At that instant, I unbarred the doors of my mind to let all the thoughts flow out. The flow was less than expected; during this one year, somehow few of the memories had slipped out into nowhere and now they were lost forever. Still there was lot to catch hold of - saw an year younger, slightly anxious Oval adressing Freshies for the 1st time alongwith Arun(Bhadwa), Lit-Sec --> hidden in a crowd of jubilant freshies, after a great start to Saras' Lit-Soc journey with 1st position in Queen of Sheeba, a proud Oval --> saw all the shades of Oval, while coloring my life once again with those fond memories -->uff, that's a concerned Oval at Fine Arts--> angry Oval at Diwali --> now disappointed for Choreo--> I think I am happy now, twin victory at Drams and SFM -->ecstatic -->almost tearful at the Freestyle Solo Dance for the freshi wins............--->acting as a lunatic at Holi --> AHA!!!. Finally, the most memorable event - when actually the entire hostel worked as a team to seal the 1st place for Saras - Treasure Hunt, enjoying the bums now...all of us now gathering together to rejoice that moment, yelling aloud just one name...SARAS...SARAS...that's what binds us together. I see everyone from 1st years to final years - no one knows when Saras won the trophy before, but now everyone will know, because it's now...it's over...we have won!!! Thanks to Bhadwa, freshies, seniors (won't mention all names) - they achieved it, worked hard for it. It's done and over...Hurrah!!!
Alas!!!It's all over now. How good it was to re-live those moments in parts, to feel them again. I wish I had a Pensieve (remember Harry Potter?).
"I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one's mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one's leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form."
If there would have been a Pensieve....

The narration has a J K Rowling style to it. Very well written, very poetic I'll say :-)
Keep it up.
Cheers!
The writing style matches J K Rowling's in Harry Potter other than the obvious relation to Pensieve. Very poetic and full of feelings. No one can miss those.
Cheers and Keep it up.
Thank you...had to be a bit different. It's like a diary entry, just wanted to write something about it. :)
Nice post.
And dont despair, there will be other things to look forward to now.
Ya...with our placements in near future, I hope I have a lot to look forward to!!! ;)
Why keep my name as Bh**wa? :D It has so many meanings (in so many different languages) that I don't even care anymore if people write it as Bhadwa :P
As you wish!!!
Check the post now, and you will find the desired changes... ;)
[...] And it was around one year back that I was looking forward eagerly to the new semester and thinking of what fundaes to put for the then freshies. Another of my friends has also written shortly about the year that was in his blog. [...]

Haha... now u wrote it in BOLD! lol :P
Underline is part and parcel of linking the name to your blog.
I edited again and it's no more bold :P.
I hoped that you would like your name to be highlighted, directing to your blog. Hehe :P
