It's been 4 weeks approximately, I joined pearl. it doesn't feels like a new place. Nothing of that kind.
It took me a day to mix with people. THE CROWD! once you be with them, you'll fall in love with em'.
We met everyone on orientation day 2. we judged people, we made groups, we talked non-sense, we made fun of each other. All this was obvious. And the faculty we were with for whole day, you can't stay being studious and serious all the time in front of them. They make you laugh, they make you feel connected, you actually feel like you belong to this place, to them.
We were provided with an opportunity to join some workshops which were specially for us. These were not "workshop" sort of workshop. We came across a different meaning of freedom. And this was not just the meaning, but we felt what being free is. You came out of your cocoon. You met other people who were hiding inside their cocoon till now. You were no more into a place where you could say "i am comfortable". Instead, we were made to face our darkest sides, the bitter truth of tomorrow that made our today stink of yesterday.
We erased all the scars of tomorrow, all the stains from our canvas to paint a new today the very moment.
After these amazing workshops, our classes started. I couldn't figure it out if it was, if it was our class or something like what we had back in our school classrooms. "GOSSIP WIT OUR TEACHER", "LAUGHING OUT LOUD", "MAKING ISSUE OF SMALL THING". Nothing actually changes. formally name changed.
Its the end of formal 5th week, and this place feels like home, like we belong to this place, like I belong to this place. :)
