All happy and joyful moments we were sharing with our Sir -more like a brother to me. He can understand what I need just by looking at my face. He had known me since grade 9 and it's only because of him I was much focused in my studies and got into this good inst.i.tution. Only because of his incredible teaching and hard work that I was able to crack this difficult exam and make it through this college and meet...

You all know what I mean!

I being the typical shy person although my stomach was not full I just rejected eating more. I felt a bit shy eating in presence of other people specially if it's treated by others. Sir immediately called the waiter to give me more. He just told the exact amount I needed. Really Superpower in disguise. His concern for each and every student makes each one of us what we are now. Although a student but the college was all thanks to him.

Towards the end we had ice-cream. Sh.e.l.ly and my choice were always the same. Others different. I and she both loved chocolate.

Actually Sir treated us because he promised that he would treat us since grade 11.And now it was put into action. The restaurant was cozy and luxurious one. We took a group fi and all of us thanked Sir for the wondrous treat. He gave his best smile- the radiance and hunger of knowledge in our lives. The s.h.i.+mmering sun rays added the effects. All of us smiled back like those tiny stars twinkling in the night sky following the radiance of his knowledge and evolving it as per our need.

Sh.e.l.ly left to meet her college mates who were waiting to watch movie with her. And I left for home. I really miss those old good days now. Even Sir's scoldings are like honey to me now. I remember almost everyday I would get scolding. But it was for my well being. Others would get too. Not to mention that. Really short-tempered but devoted man. He wanted only one thing " Quest and Hunger for Knowledge" in us. Exams are just a type gra.s.s among gra.s.slands containing variety of plants which tests us also which excites us to learn more - Just like completing levels in computer or mobile games. To answer one ,one need to know others too to differentiate it from others. I still remember what he said while making us practice for compet.i.tive college entrance examinations "If knowledge fills your stomach you will never die of hunger. But if you run after money one day you will be finding yourself in midst of unhappiness and hunger. Because only knowledge can quench your thirst and help you earn your daily bread with self- righteousness. "

I remembered those words clearly as if it were embedded in my soul. At first I didn't understand what he meant. I was at grade 11 not too young but not too mature either. I only wanted to earn money after I graduate. But meeting different people- specially Sky finally made me understand what he meant. He is the perfect example who has thirst for knowledge. He loves to learn and gather information as much as he wants. Lacy has the perspective which I had before meeting and knowing him. Actually in real world things don't work out just by mugging up. Things work out by having practical knowledge, sense of understanding of a problem and sharp hunch of how to approach or reciprocate. All of these which I had discovered in him during our practical cla.s.ses and chatting together.

Too much Philosophical right!

But this is the harsh reality and scenario of today's world. Liking a person can go side by side but Quests like rediscovering the known in an unknown way and discovering and inventing the unknown is the technology all about.

Actually I'm doing my major in Computer science engineering, I need to follow this. There is no way out of it .Technological advancement in this field is ma.s.sive but people proficient in it is remarkably low. For this all need to strive hard and get to know more and more.

Soon I reached home. At home I chatted with mom for a while and soon fell asleep.
