This was the date on which the last post was posted on this page.
And while contemplating what to really write, the world just change.
The Indian/Modi Government decided that the cash in your pocket is useless, and worthless, and that for the next 50 odd days, there will be major hiccups, and what not while running your households. Minor expenses such as vegetables (from the thela wala vendors), will become a task, as you search for change under the mattresses and the sofas!
While, Shayon disagrees with me, there will be major ripple effects that our maglomaniac PM forgot to take into consideration. Though, I must appluad him for taking this bold step.
And, while, we were reeling under the shock of our worthless money, a bankrupt, misygyonist, racist, tax evader, capitalist maglomaniac won the elections in the most powerful country in the World! He did Trump us all.
And amongst all of this, do you all even remember what were you guys upto on July 11, 2013, when the last post went up.

I think the only thing we'd probably not miss the college for is that we don't have to go through those endless power cut. At least now we can work in air conditioned offices and sleep in air conditioned rooms. These days it's freaking hot here in Delhi and I was wondering had it not been for living in ACs throughout the day,what would have been my plight. My head starts aching now when I go out in heat. And to simply think that some years back we were deprived of even availablity of electricity in college leaves me amazed that how did we manage to survive those summers.
I'd forgotten that our last day was 12th! I hope I kept that last ticket of mine somewhere for posterity!
It'll be four years in Sept., since I came to the US and it doesn't seem that long. Time really flies.
And Shastha, you're right we do tend to judge people like that. Now we're in the shoes of the "'96" batch!
And Mann, I still don't have an AC when I go home in Dec., so you should count yourself lucky!
Raj, thanks for remembering this eventful day!

Yeah, I didn't notice that how would people from 2k11 look upon us. They would think that we are probably grand dads by now

I too don't have AC at my home in Mumbai.I think the heat in the coastal regions is not that unbearable as it is in the interiors here. As sam used to say in summers in Jamshedpur "I've become a roasted chicken here" ,so before I would become so, I had to install an AC here.
My God- You guys remember I wrote a farewell post for you all!
It just seems like yesterday, but that yesterday it seems is a long way gone! :)
Time truly flies!
