The Metamorphosis (me and my people)

My second innings in Aligarh was much sought after. I was much desperate to get selected this time than my past course. reasons were obvious, AMU was convenient, AMU was comfortable and more importantly AMU was like home. I have spent 9 years here. next year after I get my degree (InshaAllah) I would have spent a full decade here...Long time... its almost half of my conscious life... So when I look back at these 9 years I see a lot of changes, both in myself and the environment I am in. AMU made me speak, but it also taught me how to listen (believe me the world's best 'chatterboxes' are made here), it made me patient, a little hardworking, a lot lazier, it made me appreciate life, meet new people, made me judge them sometimes ( I know it is wrong) but most of the time AMU inspired me to respect them for their individuality. AMU kind of humbles you and also makes you proud. I may sound like an Alig infected by AMU virus, but its true. I think thats why the motto of the university is "taught man that which he knew not." you will certainly learn about that aspect of life here about which you have either no idea or wrong idea. It kind of matures you, preparing you for tomorrow but making sure to save the humane attitude of yours. Its a university and not a factory. That was about me. I like the person I have grown into in these 9 years and I will make sure that the development doesn't stops. Now about the environment. Well 3 vice-chancellors changed, I don't remember exactly how many student elections happened but at least 3 did happen, new roads, few new courses too but most importantly my immediate environment metamorphosed itself... so let me put up my judgmental cap and analyze the categories- 1."I want money people"- I mean thinking of them in the beginning, money? Seriously they masqueraded this side for years... I am sure they have a reason to love something that futile, saving every single penny, even wasting their 'right now' for some imaginative future. 2."You are a loser group"- they always think the other person is a loser; seriously sometimes you can actually see disgust in there eyes. They are authoritative and 'End of discussion type'. believe me they are a closed box, never open for logic or change. These people were always authoritative, but this disgust thing is a recent achievement (due to some imaginative applaud they received for some hidden project no one is aware of.) 3."Metamorphosis"- this group changed like the famous slang 'Behanji turned model', yeah it has all the weirdos who got sorted, backbenchers becoming top rankers, reserved ones becoming chatterboxes, trustwothy people becoming @#$% and friend becoming not so friendly (ouch...) 4."Do I know you?"- this group gives you the look as if they have never seen you, I mean .... wake up buddy.... we studied 9 years together, you cheated from my test paper so many times..... Do you have amnesia or alzheimers or stroke....What??? yeah but not all are that bad... we all have matured certainly... initially i used to react to these categories... now I just secretly blog ( ha ha ha)... see so civilized... Anyways this article was just for fun... how boring my life would be without you all lovely people....love you all!
