The Big Crunch
Thats whats gonna happen soon (a few billion years). Ignoring the slight problems due increasing non-linear expansion of the Universe, all matter would become a singularity at the end of time (and space it would it seem).
But closer home, the Big Crunch happens on May 19. All deadlines, all goodbyes, all account closures, all the DC++ hubs, all the dues, all the treats, all the hours of uptime and inactivity, and in fact life itself as I (and 500 others in my batch) knew it for the last 4 years would telescope into a vortex of sorts. It all boils down to that in the end. Ignoring the real world realities of an extension, we would have to reboot.

Some develop a sense of urgency, doing all they could possibly do before it happens. Others try to reach new heights of lethargy and venture out only for dinner buffet spreads.
It seems surreal that in a few weeks I cant feast upon sassy or watch bondy drill some sense into bulb or hear the bellows from "the mouth". That I cant swear at STD or laze around in Thomas's reclining chair. That I cant enjoy the advantages of an extravagant subsidized long-term holiday at the expense of the taxpayers whose club I'll have to soon join.
It seems like yesterday that I spent my first weekend as the lone freshie in the hostel with all the seniors tryin to grab their share of me. But, everything that has a beginning has an end. I thought the cliched catch phrase of Matrix Revolutions was a joke, but reality is catching up. So much to do and so little time to do it in. Another one of those cliched catch phrases. Im on a roll now. I'm doin all I can to ruin this post!!
But someday, I'll drive down here in my Porsche!! (according to that alumni it'll take me 20 years *sigh*) Someday I'm, gonna come and see if time has stood still here or if Sangam has been replaced by another ghastly named hostel or if a resort is built on the banks of the lake. But until then I have to bid "adieu". Wouldve been a nice word to sign off with if not for last year's botched "farewell party" and video of the same name.
