Graduation Day!

I graduated on 13th of May with Master of Science in Computer Science here at The University of Alabama. Step ahead towards aspiration to make big in life. The best thing was that all of Gang was there, making it outstanding event. Here is the snapshot of my graduation day –
12:01 am – Lying around comfortably in our Gang’s Den (V’s and Trush’ place)
12:30 am – We (Gang - Ranjan) go on The Quad to hang around
2:00 am – We return back to Gang’s Den
2:30 am – I drop Mau and return back home. I flashback few years and then race forward few years. The sweet memories of past of back home and the memories of Denny Chimes, The Quad, Bryant Denny Stadium and The Football Mania that I would cherish for rest of my life.
4:45 am – I go to bed
9:30 am – Alarm rings and I snooze several times before waking up at 10:00
11:30 am – V call’s and offers me a ride. I enter Coleman Coliseum, the venue for Convocation Ceremony at 12:03 pm
12:30 pm – I call up home and describe all the regale going around me
1:00 pm – Start of ceremony and then I start feeling the goose and bumps, the feeling of being graduated
2:10 pm – I am awarded with the degree and I shake hands with UA President
3:30 pm – Convocation ends and I am rounded up by the Gang for pictures and compliments
3:46 pm – We go shooting all around campus. And as usual V was all enthusiastic and well equipped to take best of the shots. We had hell of a time with all the laughs and fun going around.
5:30 pm- We go to Waffle House and then to Bower’s park for FIAT’s picnic
8:00 pm – We start driving towards BHM as some of V’s photography equipment was mistakenly carried by other friend
11:30 pm – We are back to T-town and Den. A call to Papa John’s for 2 large pizzas and ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ to end the day @ 11:45 pm
11:59 pm – I call up punnu to wish him B’day but he won’t opt
12:45 am – Pizza at door. I and Mau go through V’s and Trush’s awesome pictures shoot out for the day while V and trush are already dozing off
2:oo am – End of the day; I drop Mau and off to bed
It was fantastic day and the fact that everyone (except Ranjan who is in India) was present from start to end made it even more enjoyable. It was a great day and was celebrated in style. This day goes on to top-10 of the days I will never forget. Cheers!

Thankyou all!! This would not have been feasible without your support. I would also like to thank others who cannot convey message in this world, also those with whom I have lost touch but who still prays for my good.

Cheers!
