The journey.

So. Its been a long long month and a long long journey. And its been one hell of an experience too. Ups and downs, highs and lows, wins and losses, joys and sorrows. But its been worth it, I think. I've grown. As a person and more importantly, as a human being.

The moot. Well, to put it in a nutshell, we didn't even break, leave alone make it to the finals. Yes, there are a billion things that weren't perfect. Or far from it. The format was messed, we didn't have any experience, blah blah blah. But the bottom line is the that we couldn't rise to the occasion. And despite knowing that we were placed 12th out of 54 teams, it pinches. Everyone was very supportive and tried their level best to make us feel better. But there's only so much that can be done. The rest only time can do. And that is best left to its own devices.

On the bright side, it was a brilliant experience. Those two months were the most gruelling, tiring and yet, exhilarating two months of my life. Ever. And for that I want to just say, thank you. To Anil and Manasa. For being simply awesome. I have learnt a lot and gained immense amounts from all the time we spent and all the work we did. And despite everything that happened, I think we did pretty decently. So well done guys. For the last time, Yoohoo KLA! :)

And then the break up. That was another experience altogether. I don't want to say much but I'll just say this, I've learnt a lot from it and emerged a much, much wiser person. I've let go and I carry no regrets.

Finally home. Brilliant as ever. Warm, embracing and healing, as always. And whatever anyone might say, I love this city. Period. It has always been there for me and I love that about it. And my affair with this city continues <3

Life is strange. Here one day and there the next. But then I guess that's also the most brilliant part about it, ain't it? :)

And I think I'm going to leave you with that thought.
Tada!

Get, Set, Go!

Yes so the time is almost here. I can almost feel the tingling excitement in my veins. Nearly 2 months of work about to come to life. Its actually exhilarating. For the first time since I took it up, I've understood why people moot :)

Also, I suddenly realised I haven't had time to properly close the last trimester since that involves going over everything that happened in those 3 months. But considering the current paucity of time, I'm going to leave that task for later. Alas, that final goodbye to Trimester-II of Law School shall have to wait a leetle longer.

And now I'm sleepy and have run out of stuff to say which is unrelated to the moot. But just a little poem to end with. Here goes:

Even when it seems like the end of the road,
And you feel like you're out of breath
Look far ahead, onto the horizon and you'll see
A new ray of hope, glistening and fresh.
Embrace its warmth, feel it on your skin
And then, let the journey, really begin.

Cheers!

P.S.- Skittle, I know you probably won't read this, but I just feel like saying thank you. For everything. You're awesome :)
