For Delhi, with Love

Delhi. It’s where I spent some of the best years of my life.

A thousand places in one; it’s where dreams are woven.

Where dreams are lived.

Where friends are made. And lost. And new ones found.

Where love happens.

Where friends become family.


Where maggi tastes best after bunking a class.

Where long walks lead to the ridge. [And monkeys scare you away!]

Where sitting alone in a coffee shop earns you free cookies.

Where the 2nd lane behind McD always takes you home.

Where it never rains for long.

Where ‘chikoo’ and ‘paan’ flavoured ice creams taste heavenly.

Where the greenery charms your senses.

Where winters mean steaming cups of coffee at Arts Fac.

Where IPL bets always fail (Damn!)

Where cute yellow sippers get lost. And are found again :)

Where a ‘good day’ lasts forever.

Where a missed call denotes that the class has begun.

Where three aces spell money.

Where DUTA and DUSU ensure frequent holidays.

Where a game of LIFE makes your day.

Where December and Crossroads go hand in hand.

Where birthday cakes are rarely chocolate!

Where Ludo means endless hours of fun.

Where you can shop till you drop.

Where hot chocolate fudge makes you drool.

Where Saturday means a roll, momos and a movie.

Where a diva cannot shake a leg.

Where happiness comes in a packet of fun flips and costs five bucks.


And then again...it is also the place

where ‘puchkas’ taste nothing like they do in Calcutta (No. Not even remotely close).

Where hostel food does one of 3 things- it either tastes good or it looks good or neither (mostly the latter).

Where girls in frocks climb over walls.

Where ‘badaam’ is well....’mungfali’ (:-P)

Where frequent bomb scares occur the day before tests. And no, they don’t get cancelled :(

Where they don’t deliver pizza at India Gate!

Where there are lesser number of guys in your class than your marks in Macro(!)

Painful moments...

Life is good....

College is gud too. I m actually liking 3rd yr! My days are one big blur of college, naps, food, net and of course, my beloved phone. Every thing's good...

Except...(why is there is always an "except" or a "but" after every good thing in life? Ah...) this 1 thing that I choose not to think about. Each day, a tiny voice at the back of my mind reminds me of this particularly painful part of life...two tiny words capable of creating havoc in anyone's peacefully progressing life-CAT and/or M.A.

And then there is this other voice, a much louder n influential one, which reminds me of the greater pleasures in life. The joys of sleeping (ultimate bliss...), talking on the phone, chatting, playing "bhabho" or "laal paan ki satti" or flash, shopping, eating (well...of course), reading "Twilight" simply to fawn/drool/hyperventilate over Edward Cullen or even of sitting on my bed doing absolutely nothing. And the emotionally susceptible person that I am, I get carried away by the sound of it and lose all sense of direction and any amount of focus and determination I may have gathered earlier.

One part of me hopes, at the end of each day, of beginning tomorrow.

The other part, tells me "its not tomorrow yet!" This part is also very fond of sentences like "c'mon-its-3-mnths-away-ther's-still-lots-of-time" and "this-is-3rd-yr-clg!-go-n-njoy-urself!"

The fact that the CAT ppl expect us to be aliens/ rocket scientists/ nuclear weapon designers/ MENSA members only adds to the pain.

Sigh...if only i was doing engineering and still had anoder yr of graduation left. Or even better, 5 yr law. Postgrad wudn't be so close at hand then.

If only societal pressures would not force me to continue with education. If only ppl arnd me weren't this serious...

Ah man...If only....
