We had our convocation yesterday. 20th Jan is a day I will never in my life forget. The new V.C. went all out for the celebration and hosted an amazing lunch. I swear to God, I had never felt this happy or proud of my university in the past 7 years as much as I did yesterday.
See, when I was in my previous university things were a little like this:
Random Aunty
"Beta school kaunsa tha?"
"LGS".
"HAYE MASHALLAH. O LAVAL?"
"Nahi aunty, matric kia hai".
*opinion of me sinks a little*
Disappointed smile "Oh. Acha. Uss ke baad to A LAVAL kiya ho ga na?"
"Jee nai aunty, Inter kia tha".
*opinion sinks even lower*
"Inter? Tch tch tch... KC se beta?"
Here we go. "LC se aunty".
*jaw drops, eyes bulge, horrified stare ensues*
"Ab LUMS mein ho? LSE? KC? etc etc" hopeful smile
"NAHI AUNTY ABHI BHI LAHORE KAALIJ FAR VEEMIN UNIVERSITY MEIN HUN".
She refuses to talk to me after that. Since I was now equal to the dirt beneath her feet. Mehehe.
On a more serious note, yeah we were sometimes embarrassed about where we came from because things actually were that bad there. I will never in my life say that the 6 years I spent in LC were good. There were good moments, yes but those were few and far between.
But the send off we got... I shall always remember this day. One of the best-est of best days.
