When the whole campus is shivering with cold, when the days becomes short and night never ends, when each and every student is seen in woolen attire; that's when we realise that the winter is already at the doorstep. When everybody get back to their rooms as early as possible there are still some creatures who stand unchanged by the blood freezing winter. Yes, you guessed it right. The stone benches that lay at the nook and corner of the Campus!
Those benches that once used to be the platforms for charming friendships, blossoming young relationships, numerous fights and endless talks lay still, motionless and alone during these cold nights. The students used to sit here for hours chit chatting with each other regardless of day and night, even till 9.30 when the girls has to enter their hostels and the campus become lifeless. There was a time when no space was left to sit and people wait for others to get up so that they can aquire those places.But now, since the winter have arrived nobody is seen sitting on them merely after 6 in the evening. It is a symbol that how well people abandon things once they are done with it or how well they move on leaving behind those memories that they are uncomfortable with.
Under this cold starry nights, these benches lay frozen between the trees just like the way a corpse lie surrounded by a group of people who would probably forget it once it is buried.
