Every passing day means one less day till freedom, or does it. Meeting some alumni just revealed the exact opposite. Life outside GIKI sucks. Quite funny though, the fact that before getting here a person cant wait to go to GIKI and enter university life, while at GIKI people cant wait to get out, and when they graduate, they are looking for every excuse to get back in, be it a drama competition(like this weekend) or an alumni reunion. Right now I'm utterly confused. Do I want to leave or do I want to stay, what if I( God Forbid) dont graduate, it'll be awfully hard covering a semesters course contents in 2 weeks. Are these last days to enjoy or should I put in one last half hearted effort to boost up my grades. What about all the activities (Sports, Gaming, events, shughal, etc), are these the last 2 weeks of the best days of my life. What would I do in the 3 months after my University life till October the 2nd. What if I dont get a visa. A thousand and one reasons make me really feel insecure right now.
Looking back at my life, did I turn out to be the mathematician I always wanted to be. Hmmm!!!! Not quite, but I did land an interesting job. In University the only thing that kept me going despite of all the laziness were remnants of my excellent performance during O and A levels. I hope slacking off at Uni doesnt have the inverse effect at Microsoft. I have however tried to do my best to be a good Computer Scientist. But then again its whats on this side of GIKI(the hostel side) that really turned me into what I am today. GIKI gets some of the most brilliant minds in Pakistan, and spending four years alongside them lets us grow and develop into one of the most interesting, energetic and spontaneous people in the world let alone Pakistan.
In the end, I'm really honored to have attended this institute, make all the friends that I made, gone through this <cliche>Roller Coaster Ride</cliche>, with the rest of my batchmates. GIKI has been a really entertaining experience, what felt like a decade in hell will one day feel like 4 years at a fun house.
