Time doesn’t always move forward.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFUpoofLoK
Sometimes, it spirals.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK9XQB8ERv
Pulling new people into our orbit.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt67BV2OWH
Some arrive with noise. Some with silence.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mwJwoqVyA
And some simply grow… like flowers.
In Thub, I met two more petals in the garden of this strange semester.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfOz2xOwHp
Both from CSE.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZULG1tPFi
Both somehow close to Forevermore’s world —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EgYUcfJca
both from her class.
The first was Richard —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeFQ0UL8v3
a friend of Ren and Krish,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL6XqTrEkU
connected, confident,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04YEU5bZK3
a little too good in coding,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyjW7bKJXL
a little too sure of himself.
A Dream Flower —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAWenI8p32
blooming with direction and privilege,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyebhFN1AvX
with roots that never had to fight the soil.
The second was Ramu —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgEC8qJX5r
quiet, almost invisible,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBSKMqaTy4
but with a light that didn’t need to be loud.
A Hopeless Flower, if I may.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOWdfcqTfQ
The kind that blossoms under moonlight,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi725xFXTIm
in silence, in stillness.
He was brilliant.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu6dobBQFN
Top of the class in both code and core.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLe5CNSIrT
I met him through Simon —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB3mHKUNeW
and oddly enough,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HijaLiF4O
Simon and Ramu shared a bond I couldn’t decode.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOWqHhYTJL
A strange comfort, like they were made of the same still water.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHAZK5oiaU
And I… I merely drifted into their tide.
As the semester settled, the batch lists were drawn.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWty1Q2lVSf
To my surprise — or maybe not —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAMVgI7xs1
I was placed in Batch 1.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzh8QrV1pm
A place where the spotlight flickers a little more intensely.
That’s where I properly met Richard and Ramu.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM6z2I0zi4
And that’s when my rhythm with them began.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspTQijtTdW
Our codes spoke before we did.
In academics, I moved like mist.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yYoQPgBi0
Never too visible, never too prepared.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss5QJfQP50
I relied on people.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi95bIZrB9X
My laziness demanded a soft network.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7azGO1npZ
I needed people to cover my back so I could care a little less,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e2xM0zS8i
and create a little more.
Then came something unexpected —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzSp3pJf1R
Codeblooded.
A student club under TechnicalHub,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB1x6IdSBz
and I was selected alongside Richard and Ramu.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xXo1B4uGi
The first time my name was written alongside something larger.
Code Engine was our first event.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5BR4AVsgm
An ambitious venture.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW9zX01wop
A bridge between logic and imagination.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgoJz9QRH6
Where we introduced coding to all BTech students,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutWSJdXTqx
like a spark passed from hand to hand.
And there...139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui3nhvuon6
I met another Hopeless Flower.
His name was Ravikanth —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBi1fD4gTH
a third-year CSE student from the First Campus.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZTsAVXJVH
A senior, yes. But he felt like a twin soul, aged by just a year.
A gamer.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6T6CwSY2L
A poet.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dA6qUMOkD
A cook.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs3pH2nEhA
A coder.
And most of all,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF4Yek2rRG
a quiet rebel in a world full of performances.
I admired him.
Because he didn’t scream his dreams.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpMTgkkUjy
He whispered them.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs1TZ0OWZj
And still made you believe.
He was the kind of hopeless that dares to hope anyway.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNnx77h2sR
The kind of flower that dares to bloom in frost.
And maybe…139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKipPmufmm3
I was one too.
Just a little less brave.
We never realize how many people shape our journey.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQDX0XEFRR
How each connection — accidental, intentional, or just seasonal —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8BzB8BQOa
adds a line to the story.
But I remember them.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI8ZekMbDK
All of them.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIUSwn3k9
Not as classmates, or peers,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJPJt7jHT2
but as flowers —139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjueEFdzzmg
growing under the same uncertain sky.
And me,139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2O1MdmyVd
somewhere in that garden.
