I was in class 7th and my chemistry teacher was trying hard to teach us the concept of Void in solid matters. She used all types of colorful chalks available to make the picture more clearer (yes i m the gen of 80's and we didn't have white boards in our class) but trust me the topic is more clearer now and that too not in solid matters but in every aspect of life.
After I left school and moved to college I felt a great void in my life... I was missing everything about my school even though school is one part of my life which even if given a chance i would never ever go back to but still when I left it the nostalgia and the association of 12 years was pulling me back. I remember my first week in college I just wanted to turn back time and be in my school and that was the point when it hit me ,what I was actually feeling at that time was Void ... because no matter how good my college was and no matter how good it eventually became I still pined for my School.
As the life in college progressed... School became a thing of past and I was actually happy that part of my life was over..I didn't really care about my school life anymore all I cared about was the new friends, new found freedom and new subjects. Life was simple and carefree.. getting up in the morning boarding the bus, contemplating between attending and bunking lectures , sitting in the canteen for endless hours and discussing all kind of nonsense and finally coming back to home after such a day full of hard work. When the four years of college came to an end.. and it was the final time to decide between further career option... again that feeling of void was coming up and the nostalgia was fusing over.
When I entered my PG college first time and being a hosteler for the very first time ... I was pining for my old college & my home more then anything and like a baby i even cried on the very first day and again the only thing that i wanted to do was turn back time... but within a day or two that was the place which i felt most familiar with... I met my best friends of life over there.. it was the place where i actually grew up.. and it was the place which taught me all the valuable lessons in life... I met a different set of people .. and when you are surrounded by almost 50 gals under one roof then trust me its a gala time that a gal can ask for... we discussed almost everything that was under the sun.. ex, current, future bfs, shoes, clothes, career, marriage, food..... almost everything. I no more cared about my grad college and my PG college and hostel was everything for me....
When i left my PG college and entered corporate... again I wanted to turn back time but now being a little more level headed and mature person that I was, I realized midst all the ups and down that are part of life I learnt a big lesson in life even though in solid matters the void could never be filled up but when it comes to life all kinds of voids are eventually filled up and for those voids which aren't filled, after a point of time you really don't care about them anymore.... you just learn to accept and move on....
P.S. -- I have a different POV on void of broken heart.. will get back to that soon !!!!
