I remember seeing a Tamil Drama " Mahabhaarathathil Mangaatha" by S V Sekhar during the eighties in Madurai. It was a comedy with the subject of Time Capsule enabled travel back to the Epic times.
So even if hypothetical, if I got a chance of travelling back in my life , I would prefer to go back to my college days. I had mentioned the same i some earlier context also.
Though schooldays and childhood were golden hassle free days, it was the five years of my college days that expanded my horizons in all around directions. That was the period when I could develop a lot of fresh ideas and thoughts. That was a time of learning a lot of new lessons and getting a lot of knowledge inputs. It was a time when I felt like a free bird, but fully aware of my responsibilities, duties and priorities. That was the time when I got a lot of achievements in different fields and understood about my various abilities and talents as well as my limitations or deficiencies. That was the time when I could clearly fix my realistic goals and targets without destroying my dreams.
Those 5 years in college and the immediately following five years (the early years of my job) are what I consider the best in my life as that was when I discovered the real me and had all the freedom to mold myself without going stray from my priorities and responsibilities. I could do a lot of reading, interactions with various type of people, many of them successful and iconic personalities, get a lot of academic and extra curricular field achievements. That was a time when the vast world was opened to me. It was a time of real and sincere cameraderie.
