As you walk the ring road, there is an eerie silence,
For the next couple of months will pass in a flash.

As you walk up the never ending spiral of the LRC,
You can peer down on groups engaged in animated discussions.

It is a sight to behold I say,
When all the learning must come to fruition.

It is a time in which we all make choices.
Choices I say – for choices are dangerous.

More often than not,
We choose not of our own willing.

And then we are back to where we started.

At the end of the day, I ask myself,
Is it all really worth it….

Worth – what is worth my friend?
Who do you think you can blame…

I never promised you anything when you walked in,
I created an environment around you.

And your future was yours to choose.
But then you chose the future which the guy next door wanted you to choose.

And then pain is but inevitable.

I shudder…
I am scared….
I do not know what the future has in store…

I shudder…
I pray…
I pray that bonds of friendship do not snap…

I shudder…
I pray…
I pray that I can take disappointment in my stride…

I shudder…
I pray…
I pray that I can appreciate the success of my friends…

I shudder…
I pray…
I pray that I free myself of even an iota of envy…

I pray…
I pray that all the wonderful people of the Co2012,
Get what they want to their heart’s content…

I pray…
I pray that in some measure I can be instrumental in helping them achieve what they want…

I pray…
I pray that when my best buddy gets that dream job…
I can walk up to him, look him in the eye and with a clean heart say…
“Well done my friend…”

I pray…
I pray that I do not become an animal…
Engulfed by greed and pride…

I pray…
That when we part in April…
There is only joy in our hearts.

Here’s Wishing You The Best For Placement Season !!!
