Global Day..

In with the new, out with the old.. guess thats how it goes! So yesterday i went back to my kingdom... :) My uni... for global day. The day that made me part of the A.U.S community, the day i was able to prove my talents, the day that i felt like family with the rest of my batch mates, the day that brings back vivid , colourful, lively, energetic, sparky, joyful, musical, beautiful memories, the day that still remains dear and near to me............for years to come.

Global day, is an event that takes place once everyear at our uni. It's held on 2 days (though its global day.. its actually 2 days!!.. bleh).. yes so its held on 2 days.. . its where students from different cultures, different countries get together and represent their country mainly in 2 forms... firstly on stage, where students get together and put up a show, a skit and/or a dance and secondly by building up stalls for their countries... something like what happens during global village.. Its a hugeeeeeee event that everyone looks forward to during the course of the year. Preparations take place months ahead for the much awaited event. This event not only brings colour on campus but also creates a dynamic exuberant atmosphere, where students are able to interact, have fun and also get to know each other. This event is most appreciated by the freshmen, who are able to meet their sophomores, juniors and seniors and get along. Some sort of orientation, sort of speak! :)
I remember, when i first took part in global day, i hardly knew anyone, and 2 days later.......... i knew most of the people walkin on campus. It's inexplicable, the feeling you have while taking part in global day... something that you can really cherish over the years... guess its one of those events where you just have to live it... to feel it :)

So, got on campus yesterday, and oh my god.. the nostalgia.. wowwwwwwwwwwwwww! Human brains can really recreate past images so clearly.. its amazing! Just driving there was soo much fun, rembered those days when i had to zoom to the uni to complete a project before submitting it in the morning.. the days i had to drive like crazyy to get to class on time...... and find no parking! :) Those were the crazy days...

I went in to watch the show, and i guess probably coz i was part of the stage once upon a time, everything i saw, i looked at it with critisicm.. i know i shouldnt, but its hard not to. Once you know the quality of work you have done was much appreciated, its hard not to judge. I do give credit for the efforts put in by the current students, but its hard to accept them completely!
And the stalls.. well... i remember working day and nite... to build the stall and make it seem great... and what i saw yesterday.. well.. lets just say.. it really struck the wrong chord in my head.

But all said and done, i realized that with time, things change, the way people look at things change, the way people work changes and the best way is to try and understand the flow and move with it, if it doenst deviate much from your own beliefs....
its best not to judge too much and appreciate the efforts put into the whole thing..... and so.......... i guess ... it went well yesterday..!
