-To the crazy bunch of historians of the Sem Room, 2011-2012! Historia Vitae Magistra-
As I wore the black robe and hat and got ready for my graduation photos, the memories of the past 10 months came rushing back. 'Twas the end of my final year in college, the best year of my life.
All the moments spent in my classroom on the ground floor (and stupid LR13 once a week!), whether spent laughing or in silence, in boredom or excitement, were truly 'historical'.
Watching stupid movies in Marathi and making fun of them, pretending to listen during a presentation but actually doodling in your notebook, studying for exams just a day before attempting them-the few moments that one can experience and be a part of, only during college years.
The best days of Third Year were those that were spent outside the classroom-Heritage Walks all over South Mumbai, museum trips, boat rides, bus rides, deciding the slogan for our sweatshirts, two AWESOME days in Khandala, hours in the miniscule room that was the Department of History, conversations on Facebook and for some people, making Anna Hazare posters and maps of Maharashtra and forts of Shivaji in the arches!!!
There were many people who made this year extremely memorable for me- my 'eveteaser' (yeah, I do have one), my "wanna-share-a-cab-home person", my all-of-us-always-sit-in-the-third-row friends, the girl-who-always-asks-questions friend, the quiet ones, the crazy ones, the can't-stop-making-jokes-about-everyone-and-everything friend and most of all, the one who sang to me during lectures-passed hilarious comments-hit me and pushed me-always made me laugh,-needed my scanner more than I did-and gave the squishiest hugs ever friend, my Brucelee!! (Yeah, she probably can deliver a mean Karate chop too...)
Ofcourse, it was all 24 of us 'Historians' that made these moments what they were. All those lectures, movie sessions, class presentations, parties, games and stupid conversations will go down in history, as ten months truly well spent...!!
