Today i realised the true power of interdependence. We sat and spoke to each other as a class, not individual groups. As if everyone understood everyone else. Afterall, all we want is a small family, which is willing to go through the 1 hour lab shit, together. Speaking for me, i've got some amazing crime partners. Trashant, Varun, Vinay are my crime partners.
In our first year, we were small gangs or individuals. We would pull pranks and hoot to gain our fair share of attention. That year was all about others noticing us. We have so many stupid moments in 2015-16, that it almost feels like we are not the same people anymore. Shubham(suar) and Rahul Joshi are the people who will never let me forget my 1st year. Vishal Bhatnagar was another such devil in our lives who made us innocently believe his lies that attendance in this college matters. We were shit scared of him. Unforgettable times really!
The reshuffling meant change. Change is the only constant in life. Change is the nature of life and one should always welcome it. I've seen only people break and shatter, trying to oppose change. Little did people realise the strong bonds that we have, due to the reshuffling. That reshuffling gave us some insanely close friends from another section, you know, ' brother from another mother '.
Our second year was a constant battle between 'L.E' vs 'non-L.E'.
People claimed their rightful ownership of this college, its classes, the AC and everything. The L.E(Lateral entry) guys were pissed, but you know beautiful souls have a tendency to make friends, not enemies. We have no such issues now, except that a few of ours want L.E people to stay away from girls. Funny how battles transform as we age.
This is almost the end of 2nd year, and we feel less like a a stupid class forced to sit together. We now know each other pretty well and again, good souls have a habit of accommodating diversity. We feel more and more like a family everyday. In labs we complete each other's sentences now. We fool our lab attendant together, and its so much more easier. As a class, we can have so much more fun together, than what we individually can.
I've seen girls and boys go from ' suspicious looks ' in first year, to this amazing bond in second year. I've seen people not talk and still know that the other person will be there in need. Now that this is almost the end of our 2nd year and it almost feels like our college days are at an end.
And like people in a family come closer as they grow old, realizing the scarcity of time an individual has on this planet, in the same way i feel, we as 'Ece 2' have come closer to be happy and enjoy whatever we can together. They say there will be no time as beautiful as college days are.

And that is what hit me today. We focus too much on being independent. We focus too much, on learning how to be happy alone, to not care whatever the fuck other person says.
We focus too much on being independent. Rarely do we see the power of inter-dependence. A person can be independent and deal with his problems alone, but to realise that together it is much easier and much more fun is what is inter-dependence. My roommate shubham's android is playing ' See you again ' from ff7. This song makes writing this blog worth so much more.
If you have been a college student, do comment and let me know how this article sounds to you. Any of my friends reading this, you could add to this maybe and show some interdependence 3:-)
Such a pleasure reading this.. As if the two years of college flashed back like a movie.. !!!
