A dreary reminder

Just last week one could not have felt any thing but cheerful in XLRI...Better than expected grades in term one (esp as junta was expecting nothing but the rock bottom),An unprecedented summer placements, wetnites and alumni homecoming...It seemed that even midterms could not have spoilt the jolly mood in campus...then this happened. Its like the night before a storm...There is grave silence all around me and It is hard to put into words what I am feeling right now :(...Alas such tragedies serve as a dreary reminder as to how most things we celebrate are trivial.
