Adieu MSE !!!

Yes it’s almost a year that I am writing again. Actually there was so much to do these days (though not much productive) that I found very less time to update my blog. In these days some of the memorable incidents that I can share are my internship at Institute of Financial Management and research (IFMR), it was my first experience of working in an office. It was good, as I got to learn a lot about microfinance, their mission, their process of work and the different organizations and institutions that are involved in achieving its goal. I’m indebted to this internship because due to this I got to choose my course of further research and study.

Secondly was my first trip to Pondicherry, with my friends. It is an amazing place. It might be because I love beaches. I can spend the entire day sitting in front of the sea, and watch how the violent waves come and hit the shores at different intervals. It’s a phenomenon that has been happening for years and will keep on happening till the end. I really became addicted to this place, because I made very frequent visits to this place after the first visit. I would love to spend the last days of my life in such a peaceful place. The other attractions here are the Aurobindo Ashram, Matrimandir and the French colony. Thirdly, my MSE days are over. I have come back to Calcutta to my home.

There are a lot of incidents and experiences at MSE which if I start saying, can’t be finished. I’ll really miss those small jokes, the small fights, pulling each other’s towel while going to take a shower, those mid night dinners, staying awake the whole night doing nothing, those booze parties in the terrace, I’ll miss them all. I will really miss all my friends.

Now those days are gone. I won’t be able to get those days back. You never know whether I’ll be able to meet those friends again or even when we meet whether we can have the same fun that we used to have before. Yes, we can’t get back those moments again. They are memories now. The life we led in MSE was amazing, we had fun which is unforgettable. The experiences can’t be described in words.

Time really flies. How these two years past so quickly we didn’t understand….. Wish we could have stayed for some time more. But as all good things comes to an end, so has our MSE days!!! So our juniors made the stay more memorable with the wonderful farewell they organized. The theme was ‘Masquerade’. We were not supposed to reveal our identity. So we gave a surprise to the others by keeping ourselves in disguise. I dressed as Dushyashan, (a character in Mahabharata). Then the juniors organized an award distribution ceremony and then some games which were really fun. [In the picture, from the left, its me as Dushyashan, Anil as Duryodhan and Mohit as Yudhisthir]

They made a wonderful decoration. The most striking thing was the decoration on board, they made a design which from far would look loke an abstract art but as you come near you the see the names of all the second years. The games and the award ceremony was fun. Another touching thing were the speeches of the Director and the professors.

Next the presentation they made was really touching. In the evening we had dance party in the auditorium and then dinner. It was a wonderful evening that enriched our memories at MSE.
