so long and thanks for the memories

MiLord
Let the records show once and for all that on 10 december 2005, a number of great events happened...
1. Someone probably will get crowned Miss World 2005 in a few hours from when i write this
2. Sachin Tendulkar went on to break the record for most number of test centuries.
3. I finally finally finished my internship. Did my 365 days.Talked to all my patients. wrote my last discharge summary as an intern. WOW!!! I'm done. Finally. Yep..glad to be out of this place...hmmm.

Weird. I keep saying it .."glad to be done". But somehow there was a sadness behind it all. Sounds corky? I don't know. I mean, i ought to be glad to be out of this college where i've been riding the waves since 1999. But a part of me feels sad too. Sad to say bye to friends i've lost, friends i'm losing,sirs who made my life hell,sirs who were godsent. Dead bodies, funny organs, midnight oils. There are so many funny memories interspersed with rash ones it's hard to know whether to be glad or sad.
I wonder...does everyone face this kind of mixed emotions leaving your college? Or am i just being a big jelly-heart as usual?
There are so many funny memories in this place and related to it that is peculiar to this batch...
Will we all be good doctors? i don't know. But I'm glad to say we'll be good people. And you know what? In today's world, maybe that's rarer than a doctor.
Anyway, I'm off now for a last supper with my Gang..the same gang which includes
... the 1st friend i made when i joined and my roommate of many years whose weight loss is proportional to my weight gain over these 5 years,whose knack for getting stuck in the quicksand of bad luck is uncanny
... the King of good times who in my opinion is either"the safest rash driver" or "the rashest safe driver!!!" Baby cat eyes with a real zest for life and a razor sharp wit.
... the Gentle Giant with muscles of steel, weighing 100+ kgs...and allows himself to get bossed by gals weighing 37kgs even during internship. The Original cool dude of YMC
... the Don. Who ragged a senior in 1st year till the senior begged for mercy. Who bought bullets to the dissection hall ( as if dead bodies don't scare us enough !!) Who owns a "2 seater" Matiz as i speak. (Hey!! the back has had a postbox, microwave, a turkey...now's its just cluttered with lesser stuff like ...EVERYTHING ELSE)
Different people. Different states.Different religions.One language - friendship.
Maybe someday everyone will think like us simple dudes, eh? till then, so long...oh, and Mr God, Thanks for all the memories. Damn, I'll miss this college!!!
