Time doesn’t always move forward.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpqdyw5jRm
Sometimes, it spirals.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlynrBV8TPe
Pulling new people into our orbit.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVAd8uCHZD
Some arrive with noise. Some with silence.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXhXVObHh
And some simply grow… like flowers.
In Thub, I met two more petals in the garden of this strange semester.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuOr4KSSaC
Both from CSE.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CObk3Vujz
Both somehow close to Forevermore’s world —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXABrni897
both from her class.
The first was Richard —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQnoqzTap9
a friend of Ren and Krish,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZi9JW5K6K
connected, confident,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkA7ggntoz
a little too good in coding,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGe1uGhks9
a little too sure of himself.
A Dream Flower —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uGggIpoee
blooming with direction and privilege,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vYocIulIB
with roots that never had to fight the soil.
The second was Ramu —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRatUNktLfT
quiet, almost invisible,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDfMz2SBCw
but with a light that didn’t need to be loud.
A Hopeless Flower, if I may.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0kkpITSU3
The kind that blossoms under moonlight,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9mT9FJ7Ip
in silence, in stillness.
He was brilliant.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJIBxPS99F
Top of the class in both code and core.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBawoIqFqmm
I met him through Simon —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ZcEWTmp0
and oddly enough,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ229I6lNI3y
Simon and Ramu shared a bond I couldn’t decode.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqZaCaHo1m
A strange comfort, like they were made of the same still water.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9CgAdjmaK
And I… I merely drifted into their tide.
As the semester settled, the batch lists were drawn.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xTtnzoVRN
To my surprise — or maybe not —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwhL8v7P89
I was placed in Batch 1.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2t5T6gCh8
A place where the spotlight flickers a little more intensely.
That’s where I properly met Richard and Ramu.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU4C9BS9ei
And that’s when my rhythm with them began.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYspwlIIOx9
Our codes spoke before we did.
In academics, I moved like mist.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF73V3rPDy
Never too visible, never too prepared.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56pIOshZgR
I relied on people.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CYnMJ9Z3k
My laziness demanded a soft network.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqv39nAlzQ
I needed people to cover my back so I could care a little less,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSaeaTCPhn
and create a little more.
Then came something unexpected —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5GBIGeG13
Codeblooded.
A student club under TechnicalHub,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9evEZI8Hx
and I was selected alongside Richard and Ramu.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuQ88lspmZ
The first time my name was written alongside something larger.
Code Engine was our first event.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbS7hXicJs
An ambitious venture.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfhK7Z8FHf
A bridge between logic and imagination.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXJYn0sAK
Where we introduced coding to all BTech students,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vfZBEkEOU
like a spark passed from hand to hand.
And there...44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhFaA5qYEe
I met another Hopeless Flower.
His name was Ravikanth —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2lwQqcKXD
a third-year CSE student from the First Campus.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgaKZsQ3SV
A senior, yes. But he felt like a twin soul, aged by just a year.
A gamer.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB3umkWfbI
A poet.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlQtuKHgdC
A cook.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r76ZfuPby
A coder.
And most of all,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRL5bQUjeN
a quiet rebel in a world full of performances.
I admired him.
Because he didn’t scream his dreams.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAchoNJ5bz
He whispered them.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxPkZuPFZ6
And still made you believe.
He was the kind of hopeless that dares to hope anyway.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUVq7HgvEC
The kind of flower that dares to bloom in frost.
And maybe…44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyTd2cjzUO
I was one too.
Just a little less brave.
We never realize how many people shape our journey.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSUGXVOJq
How each connection — accidental, intentional, or just seasonal —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEe1iUde5R
adds a line to the story.
But I remember them.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXW9itvLKe
All of them.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsS9CwTp6W
Not as classmates, or peers,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrtw3nN6ps
but as flowers —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaGB3prpBG
growing under the same uncertain sky.
And me,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER8AuvusE2
somewhere in that garden.
