Manipal

Today was the 3rd outing of our batch in Manipal before we officially go back to Malaysia. It is a series of outings organized by our batch people to roam around this university town. This semester ends on the 18th of August, which means we are going back in a month time. This is a different one. We always knew we would be coming back this place again with a bunch of friends. However this time, we knew we won't. I doubt if i ever have the chance of coming back here again. Even if there is, things will be different. 人事已非。

Mixed feelings. I remember how reluctant i was whenever coming back Manipal after vacation. NOw, i reluctantly to admit that my studies in India is coming to an end. Autos, hornings of the cars which can be irritating sometimes, greeting the natives with "Namaste" " Namascara", showing our gratitude with " taniawada", all these will remain as a part of our memories.

The grocery shops which i usually hang around to really waste my time after intensive study. All the nonsense that i had done here shall be left here.

Still, i am craving Malaysian food =) So, lets not be too emotional about this, because i am kind of looking forward for the days back HOME = ) i can even grin in my dreams.
Manipal, you taught me the spirit of persevearance, the real essence of self-confidence, to be a real optimist, and a real learner. I will be applying all these that i have learnt in my life, no matter where am i going to be.

Manipal, a place that i have grown up.
