>Chapter 40 – Adios AIT

>Well the day had finally come. three years of fun, studies, experience and college life had now come to an end. all the good things that start unfortunately must come to an end no matter how exciting they were. for taran these had been the best 3 years of his life. though he was not being able to believe that college had now ended for him it made him realise now the really serious part of life was about to begin. AIT had given him love, life, friends and experience that no other college would have been able to grant. sometimes it was good and sometimes it was bad, but still it was like his training arena, his social pathfinder and his learning ground. it would never be easy to forget this place and nor would be the moments spent.

so at last came the farewell. everyone was in their formal wear.the juniors gave them a warm welcome. the juniors had also created titles for the seniors. these titles were just phrases to briefly describe the traits of their seniors. Simran and Prateek shared what they learnt here. Kiran dedicated a video which showed highlights of our long and beautiful journey in those 3 years. everyone applauded on her creation. friends met, pictures were taken , feet danced and everyone was making best of those final days together… which will never return but will be remembered forever

taran was truly grateful to his classmates and friends for making the moments of his college life unforgettable. he was thankful to his teacher for their unmatched guidance. and of course, last but not the least, AIT for all kinds of experiences i student could ask for. taran only wishes that he is parting from his friends only to be reunited again. he wishes all of his friends all the best in life; may all their dreams come true and success follows them wherever they go.

>Chapter 39 – The Truth of the Real World

Its been a long time since we last saw taran taking on the challenges of life. now that his exams were over he was finally ready for his last semester. he was getting ready to being used to the outer shell since he wont be able to stay in protection forever. he must come out and fight his own battles, deal with problems and be cautious of those out to harm him. in spite of people calling him mature often he has a lot to learn and much to experience. one of the things he will miss the most will be his college. it gave him friends, enemies to battle, lessons to learn and experiences which he might not have been able to feel anywhere else. in a nutshell it gave him what people call ” exposure to the real world”.

all of these years there were many people in his life who left without a notice and there were a few who were with him even when nobody seemed to care. taran believed there was a reason that the people from his past didn’t make it to his future. he was going to treat all people equally and avoid people he didn’t like. time indeed plays a great factor in determining who respects you for who you are and who just waits for a chance to deceive you. may god give taran the strength to fight against all odds, the sense to pick the roses, remove the thorns and avoid the rose weeds and fake flowers and the courage to never stop at nothing in accomplishing his aim.

>Chapter 38 – Hill of the Gods

>Recently taran and his friends went on a trekking trip to a temple located across the Aravali Hills. this trip was definitely filled with new experiences which included walking for long time, climbing rocks and saving yourself from the thorns. Prateek was the only one who was going to the location for the third time. taran and a few of his friends had gone there before, but came back from halfway since none of them was prepared for the long journey.

after the exams were over and before the holidays for main externals were declared it was decided that a trip to the hill of the gods will be planned. and so after a week of exams , a few days later the day of the trip was set. before they set out a few friends got themselves some refreshments for along the way. the journey included walking, climbing small rocks, discovering amazing creatures and of course, pictures being captured.

the journey took about an hour to reach the destination but it was worth it. when they reached the place they discovered that there was not only one temple as it had been presumed but a number of temples of different religious aspects. the spiritual experience was amazing. it seemed as if all the tiredness of the body had been revitalised and all other worries were no more. there was another hill which was said to have another temple on the top, but since the rocks became slippery in the rain it was nothing more than foolishness to attempt to climb it

overall it was a fabulous experience and taran is glad to have been a part of it.this is one day he is not going to forget too easily

>Chapter 37 – Angels on Earth

>

Sometimes in life we meet people who cannot be simply described by words. They let their actions do the talking. they don’t have any wings nor they have any halo over their head, yet they seem no less than the messengers of heaven who have heard your prayer and came down to relive of the pain you are going through. They never ask anything in return, only the smiles they wish to see on their friends face. These “Angels” truly are the most valuable people in the life of a person and their presence represents a ray of hope even in the darkest of days

Taran also happened to meet these angels on earth. these people have helped him throughout his life and couldn’t even imagine his state of mind had they not been there. they may have different names but in nature all of them seemed so similar

the first one that taran met was Neha. she was his senior and met taran through a common friend. their bond was more than that of friendship. taran and neha learned to respect each other and assist each other in the time of need. since tarans elder sister was not readily available for talking about his issues, he made her his sis and strengthened the bond of love they together shared

Neha truly had become the part and parcel of tarans life. If it hadnt been for her taran would have been repeatedly conned of money, emotions and the things he valued the most. Even taran also helped her and stood by her when she needed support.she had paved his way and through many examples set by her taran was convinced that if she was doing something it was for a valid reason. Truly speaking, her actions could not be simply described in words or made to be believed by another person. Only one word was enough to describe her qualities: A Blessing

There was another friend of taran who , taran thought and believed, that he had not done anything special or extra ordinary to gain her trust; only gave the best of what a friend can and must be able to afford – his support for friendship in their time of need.

To Mehak taran was no less than a blessing in disguise, a holding hand on a lonely path or simply a key to unlock her hidden smiles. Taran also was very grateful to her company as he shared the things he normally didn’t share with the rest of his friends , be chilled out and even get important information concerning his career

They enjoyed each others company, talked ,laughed, shared stuff and thoughts and had fun. Even if they met for only five to ten minutes it was simply great.Mehak was busy most of time but did manage to spare some of it to talk to taran whenever she had the chance. Taran also tried the same whenever he had the time. In no time taran became Mehak’s best friend forever. All now that can be done is both pray to god that this friendship ends never.

Some people don’t need to be close to you to support you. They can still give you all they have got form a very long distance.Disha was one tarans first facebook friends who he had met through an application. The app allowed users to flirt with each other and though taran doesn’t know how to flirt they still became friends. Over the years when taran had no one to talk to he would discuss his life with Disha and she did the same. The application had not only introduced two strangers to each other but also now these strangers had now become greatest of friends. They may have different paths but the bond of friendship kept them together but in times of happiness and darkness alike

Sometimes people say facebook is nothing but a waste. But if you find friends like taran did it can sometimes said to be a great asset in locating pure souls and golden hearts in a relatively short time and effort. If people say theres a heaven on earth, they say it because they have seen it through their angel’s eyes. Taran had seen it too and was very grateful to god for granting him the privilege to see it for himself and have a second chance in his normally dull life.

May these angels be blessed with the best of happiness this life has to offer .

>Chapter 36 – The New Face of Inspiration

>In life we sometimes have to go through something for the reasons even we don’t know.we dont’ realise when or why it starts and when its going to end.it only comes, affects us in some way or the other and then creeps out as if it was not even there.what is even funnier is that half of the time we don’t even realise if the thing we are doing or the way we are acting is right or wrong. And sometimes we just need something to inspire us ,motivate us. something which previously did not have any effect. it was not even planned to be a source of motivation and yet it moves us in a way where all the others seem to have failed. but to think of it we need more than just blood, brain, heart and air to keep us going. we need a reason for ourselves when we ask “why are we doing this” or “what is the purpose of this journey” or maybe even “what will happen if we reach our destination”. sometimes its the inspiration that keeps us moving forward and its the motivation that tells us that we will get what we want sooner or later

something similar was going on with taran.for a few days he was not feeling like himself.though he did manage to control his short temper problem most of the time, this time it seemed more difficult for him. it seemed as if his interests had taken a plunge into the ocean of gloom. irritation and annoyance were right at his nerves and the cloud of  apathy was swirling in his mind like a hurricane. his interests were fading to the extent that the people he always told how he felt exactly were now the observers of his rudeness and that too for reasons unknown to taran himself. it was one of the primary reasons that he did not attend the freshers party of his final year despite the insistence of all of his friends. after 2 weeks of this mental mayhem he was going through he went to facebook to kill some time and maybe feel better. if he had not logged in then maybe all hopes would have been lost. he logged in and then saw a face. it was the face of one of his friends, Preeti(her name pretty much suited her as she was very pretty). but it was no ordinary face, it was the face of new inspiration inside him. taran thought “whenever i meet her she is always smiling, though i can guess she must have gone through many more hardships that i can ever imagine ; and yet she is able to successfully hide her tears and fears and face the world with a smile. if she can do it,why cant i do the same?”. this thought was enough and the face added as a flavour to his rejuvenation. the ocean of gloom drowned in the drain and was replaced with the sweet drink of new hopes. though taran and Preeti had not talked much before, she had indirectly helped him break free from his despair.

taran searched google for his answers and found it was temporary depression that had grasped him. now he had to ensure none of the recent occurred ever again. he was ready and set to continue his normal routine as he did previously and in his thoughts, he thanked Preeti for her assistance and encouragement. may god always bless her
