Well, I'm back......
Alright, the last time I posted was 31 weeks ago. I don't know why I never come and update this, but that could have something to do with the lack of time and the fact that since I live in a hostel, I hardly get to sit on my own computer.
But all that aside......hostel life just does not remain the same bed of roses after you have stayed with the same set of people for over a year.
Let me elaborate......
I came to my hostel in July 2008 and had a lot of fun meshing in with the entire crowd here. All of us who were in the 1st year of our college became really close. It was us against the rest, sort of. We always stuck together, rain or sunshine.
But then came our second year. People started drifting apart, fights increased, egos rocketed sky high....and so on and so forth. The entire lot of us, who had made promises of always being there for each other no matter what, has drifted apart.
Now, sounds terrible, does it not??? But this is not a bad thing necessarily. People grow up and mature. It's not necessary that everyone changes in ways that are accepted by each and every person. People drift apart, and that is the way life is. We have all changed. The ego fights and bitching goes on, but for the most part everyone is cordial with each other. It's been accepted that we have all changed, and won't remain close to each other the way we used to. Some of us have become closer than ever, while some of us have drifted apart.
I do get nostalgic while remembering those old days, but then, I just have to deal with it and move on. No matter how much I or the others might want it, things will not be the same here and our relationships won't be the same.
