Delhi 2415

"Tu ghoomne jaa raha hain kya Delhi abhii kaun rahega wahan ??" asked mi friend, this question forced me to think "why was i going to delhi when almost all my batchmates and immediate juniors had left the college, what was there in IIT that attracted me always pulling me to it's side, this was an intriguing Question indeed!!!"
Thinking about this question somehow managed to reach the station on time and boarded the inter-city from indore to Delhi with only one passenger in his late 30s digging into some magazine, suited me best i wanted my private space now. Excitement, fear, Nostalgia mixed bag of feelings was what i was going through and it sounded exciting and the cool malwa breeze added to my excitement and i with my headphones on and the latest India Today by mi side started pondering over the million question. was it 1985 batch video the other night that inspired me to embark on this journey or were there other things, i wanted a break from the grind of the life i was going through and where can i get the most relaxing break IIT ...Delhi here i come!!!!
Freedom to do anything i wanted be it acads be it following mi interest in various cultural activities, be it doing anything under the sun, organizing events, attending events which were not allowed for ur institute. life was like a rainbow colored with not 7 but 700 different colors showing color by color everyday as if someone had written a well thought script for ur stay there. u only know the value of something once u lose it and i learnt it the hard way and i guess this is the only way available to us. where on earth can u get to interact with people as diverse it can get, characters here come in all sizes and shapes and colors also (including some of teh so called exchange students) how can i forget SDA's Priced assets, Sassi's chai, Fx's chicken combo, hostel's mess, last surviving memeber of the nescafe family near the library where the taste of the elachi depended on the mood of the person there, Wind-T ...hmmmm i can smell the sweet air i can go on like this for eternity suddenly someone shook me "bhayya ticket "
what ohh the T.C i searched mi pockets ....mi wallet....mi bag ....did i have the ticket or not ....W.T.F.................................
