Introspection... that's something every religion endorses, every philosopher preaches and every man looks for. It ain't easy to be honest to yourself no matter how much we'd like to believe otherwise. More than honesty or truthfulness, I believe, it needs courage to face yourself, to be unbiased. It is supposed to do you and the people around you some good.
It so happened that a good friend recently decided to do the same. This certainly was a situation. He'd know think what he's doing, right , wrong etc. The problem as I saw it was, the changes it may bring in him and since 'no man is an island', the changes it'll bring unto us. I feel that your friends accept it the way you are and even when there are traits the express a disliking for, they do not want you to change one bit, for the better or worse. At least not in the 4th year of your engineering, when you know that this is the last sem and you can afford to be careless. Mostly because many of the obviously wrong habits are enjoyed the most. For instance: boozing, fagging, gaming etc.
Hence, my request to my good friend is to not be introspective at this juncture. The 11th hour is long gone.

I'd like to say a few things.
Firstly, there's never a wrong time for the right change. Secondly, this wish for things remaining the way they are forever is what brings in insecurity. Things will change and we can't stop that, and perhaps - if you introspect a little - we must not stop that.
I might have understood the little piece of thought u shared in a very different angle, but from here (this angle) I'd tell your friend, if it's good (this change) go ahead!
Loved the subtle sarcasm!! Guess i looked at it from a different angle too!! :)
@richa: If u understood the sarcasm, then u looked it with the same angle as i did.
