I found myself idling away a couple of hours at home due to a power outage, reminiscing about the enjoyable moments my friends and I had during our college days. Even though it hasn't been long since I graduated, it's amazing how swiftly life has progressed. I can still vividly recall my first day of college, and now, it's already been three years. We created wonderful memories at NCIT, despite the silly rules, punishments, fines, and so on. When I look back, I can picture myself sitting on those benches with my friends scattered around, laughing, cracking jokes, hugging, tossing paper balls, and engaging in small conflicts that brought us closer. We shared lunch from the same tiffin box, shouted at each other, hung out together, faced punishments together (which we strangely enjoyed), exchanged playful banter, argued with our teachers, and helped each other in countless ways. The list of memories is endless. Tears well up in my eyes when I realize that those days are now...
