A tribute to Final Years

In a few days, NIT Durgapur will become a past for you. It will become what your school, your classmates has been - A memory.... NIT Durgapur will go down in a golden frame as perhaps the four best years of your life.

Still it seems like yesterday. Cracking AIEEE, celebrating with family, counselling, getting irritated that nobody understands the difference between NIT and NIIT, visiting school and teachers one last time before leaving for abode. Some memories still vivid and fresh in the mind, walking inside the Durgapur campus with parents, registration, counselling and the feeling of ecstacy of getting allotted COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. Seems like yesterday- carrying your luggage and moving inside your hostel, in a room, stuffed with another 3-4 fellows. Didn’t know then that in a few days those fellows will grow from “JUST ROOMIES” to “BEST FRIENDS”. 

The homesickness of first semester, getting up early with tears in your eyes, wishing that you were still at home seems funny now. Making new friends, interacting with seniors, doing mischief, bunking class, late night, last hour studies, making cheats for exams, breakfast at jhoops, gathering at back canteen after classes, little treats at techno, Dinner at LH more, GPL’s during birthdays, mass bunks during Festivals, the ID crowd on Wednesday nights will become past after a few days.

All these were your life till today. From tomorrow, these will become memories you will look back and smile at.
These will become fantasies, you will always yearn to get back these four years and live this life all over again. Away from all worries, enjoying life to the fullest with envious resource at your disposal. These days will never come back, but you will always long for these days.

Friends go, friendship remains, only memory lasts forever... 

All the best seniors, wish you all the success in your life.

Finally I would like to conclude with a quote by one of our teachers, Bibhas Sen sir- 

“ These four years are the golden years of your life. Live them to the fullest, you will always cherish them later.”

The DBB Guys

                                              ...............................................the best final years

One thing I am really grateful to NITDGP for giving me is some really good seniors. The DBB guys in our final year are worth mentioning-Aritra Biswas, Dibyo sarkar ,Sankha subhra chatterjee. MLZ and my RP made me meet these guys. Even before my cross calls started I was scared of them because of the fact that my zonemate was called up by a senior and informed that they were planning to make us write a whole newspaper!!!!

And even after meeting them during our first cross calls I was scared of them too. Though my zonemate said that these seniors are not at all that scary but nothing could relieve me. That was because during my first four cross calls we were scolded by sankha da and I personally got scolded by dibyo da. But I was thankful to Dibyo da for one thing- after hearing me sing in my first cross call he told me never to sing again in my life. As a result I was saved from singing in any cross call as he was in final year (SENIORITY FUNDA)

One incident which made me believe that these guys were really good and not scary was the RECSTACY INCIDENT. I was given the task of standing in the oval grounds everyday from 7 am to 7:30 am by some seniors. A few accidents occurred after that and DIbyo da and aritra da came to my rescue for that. Though Dibyo da was angry on me for missing the previous cross call yet he never let that come in that matter and was very supportive. When later in the evening I went to say thanks to him, he asked me why. I told him for supporting me in the morning. He said that he went to back canteen because he was hungry, then he saw there were the zone people sitting there so he came to see what was happening. There was nothing to say thanks in this matter!!!

These seniors of mine were like my own parents- “we can scold our kids as much as we want, but we don’t allow others to scold them”- this was their attitude. They have given us the highest number of treats and even taken the most of my ragging, but even have been most caring.

Ever if I wished to do something I was granted permission without any second question. These guys were always ready to give time to their juniors. I remember while returning after having a stroll in junction mall with my friends I met sankha da in jhoops and they took me out to have a gala time.

I can never forget the last treat we had with them on 5^th may afternoon as the next day we were leaving. We really had a quality time with them. When you are with them everything tastes nice. They are really fun to hang out with.

These guys were like my own brothers. I will always cherish each and every moment lived with them.
