This not so pertinent question stuck with me for a full 10 minutes.
The title of this blog is partially misleading, but not totally irrelevant.
The year was 2007.
The final term of the final year of our engineering course was drawing to a close. As
part of tradition a class photo of the outgoing batch is takenfor the year book. All of us were required to be dressed in formal attire and gather around the
lobby for the class photo.
The whole outgoing
batch (EXTC, Comps & IT) had gathered for their respective class photo.
There was a lot of commotion and some class photos had to be taken again. Bored
waiting for my class' turn, I decided to go get a mint (Yes … Chloromint) from
the canteen in the adjacent building.
As it happened, I found
someone to chit chat in the canteen and totally lost track of the ongoing outside. My friends too forgot that I was missing from the assembly. The class
photo was done (see below).
And I wasn't in it.
Damn. How can this
be? I was sad at first, almost cried. (No glycerin)
But then I went into
HULK mode (more so NAUTANKI mode), destroying everything in my path.
But a big thank you
to my friends, they organized the entire class for an informal re-shoot within
minutes. This time I was very much in the photo. So what if it wasn't printed in
the year book, it has been etched in memory forever.
SFIT Batch '07, you guys rock!!
