The Trip back to Trichy
The trip back to my Alma matter, to attend the graduation ceremony aroused a medley of emotions in me. Initially, I was excited about the trip as this was my first trip to Trichy after I passed out from the institute. But once I landed there, I suddenly felt that I did not belong there, the whole place looked like it was in a time warp – the predominant tenor of the place was ‘stillness’, which made me feel a bit claustrophobic. It seemed odd that I wanted to gaily relive the moments I spent in b-school and ended up feeling caught in a place I didn’t want to be in. I am in no way criticizing the place; it is just that my perspective has changed and I would rather keep that old memory of a place – sweet and away from the humdrum of urban life, alive in me!
Another reason I feel a bit downbeat about the whole visit is because, it was as if an era in my life had finally concluded. I had suddenly grown old! In the end, when I sit here back in Hyderabad looking back at the trip, I am happy about being a part of a worthy group of people.
