Responsibility - it's a sweet thing. No, really it is.

Final year is my favorite year. A year when I realised I could do a lot of things. A year when I found strength from within, when I am sure the whole world is conspiring against me. I am on the verge of letting my 'safe' world go, on the verge of escaping into reality. It truly is amazing. This rush of adrenaline that no scary ride can ever simulate. Life. It gets me on a high.

Never before have I felt an overwhelming sense of affection towards my classmates than now. The past week saw an unprecedented solidarity on our part and I am surprised that it happened. Now I know I am going to miss the 2002-06 batch of mechanical engineers - more popularly known as the 'Mech Maniax'. (silly, I know!)

I have been busy the past two months. A work that not many people believe demands two months. Ten minutes of animation in 3D Studio Max. But after the end of it all, I am super-charged. Finally, I have found something that I could do with ease. But the sad part is, there is not a soul right now who can truly appreciate it. There is not a person with whom I can share the exhilirating experience of creating a garage virtually and figuring out the story board. All I ever get to hear when I mention my work is - "But you know what I have been upto? You just won't believe the amazing thing that happened to me..." And I listen...

Everyone's important. Everyone's an individual. We have our desires and dreams; our accomplishments and failures; our view of a storm-laden sky. We need to share it. But there are those who would just not listen. They just won't recognise us as being men and women worthy of equal if not greater achievements.

Be that as it may, I have got you to pour out my soul on. Thank you so much for listening. Sometimes I wonder whether this planet is full of self-important deaf people!
