Time doesn’t always move forward.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDAXa6ZML9
Sometimes, it spirals.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGp2ZKDfvs
Pulling new people into our orbit.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqiHuOeibW
Some arrive with noise. Some with silence.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjMBkdjrSt
And some simply grow… like flowers.
In Thub, I met two more petals in the garden of this strange semester.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhsUcwZ31D
Both from CSE.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPML2KQ4EL
Both somehow close to Forevermore’s world —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9t55Zo0rp
both from her class.
The first was Richard —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XCPuoejbG
a friend of Ren and Krish,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxHfpc8KOz
connected, confident,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EsPT8pJkS
a little too good in coding,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdUs62pITC
a little too sure of himself.
A Dream Flower —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkvTlnf5mJ
blooming with direction and privilege,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98zvENd2Gu
with roots that never had to fight the soil.
The second was Ramu —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInueFusr9A
quiet, almost invisible,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FPfk2zfr3
but with a light that didn’t need to be loud.
A Hopeless Flower, if I may.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNqD0VXUEl
The kind that blossoms under moonlight,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5wHjFn1D2
in silence, in stillness.
He was brilliant.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwKESXAjy0
Top of the class in both code and core.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePi36pNQqj
I met him through Simon —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ztmiB5fhE
and oddly enough,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg95kvzrshk
Simon and Ramu shared a bond I couldn’t decode.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoI1y9rdTo
A strange comfort, like they were made of the same still water.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p60LubRVN
And I… I merely drifted into their tide.
As the semester settled, the batch lists were drawn.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFK37YpuNY
To my surprise — or maybe not —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHOITH2CzH
I was placed in Batch 1.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI26QRmfpq
A place where the spotlight flickers a little more intensely.
That’s where I properly met Richard and Ramu.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN4UsEgpBb
And that’s when my rhythm with them began.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ8IuskfpL
Our codes spoke before we did.
In academics, I moved like mist.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk4QMVA5bU
Never too visible, never too prepared.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpf5Xtxp3p
I relied on people.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrpBw56po1
My laziness demanded a soft network.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo4YRPnU4W
I needed people to cover my back so I could care a little less,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQFXwI19jj
and create a little more.
Then came something unexpected —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz2ZXSaEMN
Codeblooded.
A student club under TechnicalHub,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ1DwVm3ca
and I was selected alongside Richard and Ramu.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZWox29K3s
The first time my name was written alongside something larger.
Code Engine was our first event.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdzXCe61T0
An ambitious venture.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnrt7TbZg0
A bridge between logic and imagination.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOydbjTjas
Where we introduced coding to all BTech students,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwTWYGMkhM
like a spark passed from hand to hand.
And there...59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE66wadBdY
I met another Hopeless Flower.
His name was Ravikanth —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5snNIEZfzl
a third-year CSE student from the First Campus.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59RHs5IKar
A senior, yes. But he felt like a twin soul, aged by just a year.
A gamer.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNje7DPoD4
A poet.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pqFRwQOee
A cook.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9okpIjc9i
A coder.
And most of all,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSJTfvIyRg
a quiet rebel in a world full of performances.
I admired him.
Because he didn’t scream his dreams.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSCMAgt627
He whispered them.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZJ7h5v8qJ
And still made you believe.
He was the kind of hopeless that dares to hope anyway.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39KhozqDuX
The kind of flower that dares to bloom in frost.
And maybe…59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI04tsy7J2
I was one too.
Just a little less brave.
We never realize how many people shape our journey.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I5PKerqRv
How each connection — accidental, intentional, or just seasonal —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqUd9t9Q6e
adds a line to the story.
But I remember them.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfcUclJWhs
All of them.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYyeDADzwI
Not as classmates, or peers,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuqkhnJxWs
but as flowers —59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW6ssslIGG
growing under the same uncertain sky.
And me,59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJwiPphHH
somewhere in that garden.
