Just around this time last year, we students of standard X were adding those final 'touches' that would, and did, apparently, do a lot to the final picture.
And yet, as a student of a college, I can see the excitement, the tension build itself among students, teachers and exam centres (my college is one) alike. The future is expensive. The present seems cheap. But one's past is either hidden or treasured as skeletons in one's closet or as the secret event that led to one success after another. How I remember and miss the hundreds of friend-circle unions (meetings sounds better?) before the board exams, b****ing about the SSC board (pardonez-moi pour mon mauvais français), talking about the philosophy of missing and being missed, to teachers at school!
And , as Maddy Razz correctly points out, it all boils down to one thing moving on. Moving on is the act of putting behind oneself, all the rancour pent up inside of us; is building bridges where earlier were walls; is growing up, when we understand the clear distinction between growing and growing up. Moving on is akin to learning to never say never. There is always a "Hi!" after a "Good-bye!".
Thus, many of my senior friends will be moving out of college moving out of the nest we were in some because they found better colleges, some because they have some other reason. On the other hand, most will stay in college. We'll become SYJCs soon. The SYJCs hitherto, will get newer lives, newer identities.
It's all in the movement.
We are all on the move.
