This is the first time in my three years stay at my institute that I am spending the Festival of Lights right here. Although disappointed at first for not being able to be at home Diwali -07 was indeed a memorable affair.
As I am among the first to pull up my institute whenever it makes a mistake I thought it will be only fair to complement it when it does something right.
Well it certainly did things right this time.
The entire campus was a sight to behold. The radiance was almost blinding.
The main building was as beautiful as a newly wedded Indian Bride. The hostels were also lighted. There was light and joy everywhere. For may be our administration understood that the Lights symbolized much more than radiance. They gave us student a quick reminder that although we may be away from our homes we are in our ‘home away from home’.
Yes we were at home. The feeling was of mutual harmony and joy. There were smiles all around, genuine smiles. Everyone was dressed in their best, ready to live life the only way it should be-BIG.
As night approached our excitement doubled, we all realized the next few hours will be one of our finest hours and the memories shall last for many years to come. We sang, we danced, and yes we did burst.
We lived as if there was no tomorrow and in many ways it was true tomorrow certainly was not ‘Diwali’.
So kudos to the administration of BIT for lighting up our campus and thereby lighting up our Diwali.
