First day
I still remember my first day of engineering college—the new campus, the unfamiliar faces, and that strange mix of excitement and fear. I walked through the corridor holding my file tightly, pretending to look confident.
That’s when I first noticed him.
Sree.
Not because he did anything remarkable—but because he didn’t. While everyone else was trying hard to make friends, he simply sat quietly, observing everything around him. There was something calm about him, something that made him stand out without trying.
I didn’t think much of it then. Just another classmate.
But sometimes, the people we barely notice in the beginning are the ones we can never ignore later.
