Two weeks ago we had Inflore being held at Rajagiri. It was Inflore 2013...
Forget the fact that I wanted to head back and check on how things were this year..with the programs, the quiz the panel discussion...basically the entire works. I tried making plans, checking up with people, trying to get people to make it that day while praying that I didn't have to report to office that day.
So what was it that I really wanted? More than checking out Inflore, this visit was a journey to the past, a chance to meet up with people exchange stories and revisit old memories.
Just planning the visit and the ride to Ernakulam brought on memories...We reached Ernakulam and as the car drew nearer to the gates, excitement mounted up. We met people, our classmates and batchmates, the juniors (who for some strange reason remembered us) and the faculty as well. We spent time walking around, catching up on gossip, exchanging stories and the time just flew by. Very soon it was late in the evening and we set off for the class dinner that we had planned...
The dinner was an unexpected sort of event. Four of us girls with about ten of the guys. It was quite late when we reached back but the time spent at the restaurant seemed to fly by as people cracked jokes and pulled each others legs. It just seemed like another day out from college.
In fact, we had made plans for Sunday as well. Lunch at Kayees, followed by some time at Kashi and then some north indian treats...Some time spent roaming about in Fort Kochi and then some time at Hanish's place. It was an amazing day and had to end early as we needed to head back home and work.
The day ended soon and with a heavy heart we left...We left with the heart filled with memories, sweet times and a longing to stay back for a bit more...as we headed back...back to the newly joined corporate life...
