Convocation Day
Memories help us keep the moments of love close to our hearts.
On March 1st, we celebrated our college convocation day. I felt proud to be a CETian. Being with everyone at the college filled me with happiness, but realizing our college days were ending made me a little sad. The next day, we officially became alumni. I remember my first day at CET in the DJ hall, sitting with appa.

We took our final group photo at the Golden Way. Our last event together was our convocation ceremony. We often met up at BBG for cold coffee, puffs, and gossip.
I wasn’t sure if anyone would come to my convocation, so I registered for all my family members, hoping at least one would attend. I was thrilled when appa and amma came, even though it was only for a short time. I got a picture with them.
After the convocation, I went to Varkala with my hostel mates. We had been planning this for a long time. However, because some of our parents were against us staying out there at night, it kept getting postponed. Perhaps now that we were older, they were okay with it. In Varkala, we had a lot of fun listening to music, trying new foods, and just lying on the beach, watching the sky.
