A cycle is complete now

Many years ago i was a student in literal sense and I used to sit on the benches in my engineering college. Those were the days full of concentrated studies with focus on teachers inputs, reference books, visits to library and notes etc. Yes I definitely enjoyed being student and the benches but then after graduation I shifted the gears and came to the other side of the bench as I was called as lecturer then. The other side of the bench is continuing still for so many years. But now due to the slight restrictions and new-normal conditions of my beloved legs I follow something different in my office / college. Fortunately, touch wood but its going on smoothly since when the classes in hybrid mode started recently. So if my lecture is the second as per the time table and its on the first floor, I go and sit in the opposite class, just in front of my lecture room. So that after the first lecture by another faculty is over, I can immediately hop to the front room instead of coming all the way from the second floor with my laptop, charger, phone etc. This is working on better for me. The class opposite my lecture room is empty as its a drawing hall. So I am following this practice from Jan / Feb 2022 I guess. Few days ago someone stopped to ask me why I am in that class, what I am doing? etc and list of pouring questions. Me: "next class is mine in the front lecture hall hence waiting here", the other person:"why?", Me:"instead of going to second floor, coming down, i prefer this". And the conversation went on and on.

Then I thought to myself, seriously why I was there at the front class room, what is the exact reason? I immediately got the answer, "to enjoy sitting on the bench again after ages" and literally I was enjoying, realized, it is more fun using these benches now than before. Superb indeed. Wow. 

No wonder the elders say that we remain and we should remain students forever and keep learning / exploring. Good that I got the habit of looking at the other side of the coin consistently and this is the awesome effect of it. Wow. 

 A cycle is complete now, from actual student to other side of the bench to back to bench, sahi.
