Memories

These days I am wandering around the campus like a lost puppy. There are memories to be collected at every corner. Some of them will fade away as time goes by, some of them will be back to haunt. There are so many things that I took for granted whose importance I started to realize now that I have to leave them.( this is applicable to relationships as well !!)
As long as you are inside you long to get out of this place. You crib, you are mad at the system, every little slip irritates you, yet you miss all this because life is more chaotic outside. Then you realize that this is the best place to be in.
I thought I wouldn't get into this phase after my graduation (its been 11 years !!). Destiny had other plans for me. I am going to miss this campus more than I missed my earlier one. For me it is as if life has started the circle once again.
I think I will keep coming back to this place - whenever I need to get away from the chaos outside, to relive these moments, just for a while, to re-energize myself and to return to practicality outside.

In my heart there is a ‘home’
That will not go away
Where woods are a place to roam
And classes bring a new day

I know that it will not be forgotten
And all that will stay there
That someday I shall return to
Bring memories back with care

silence

First of all, I apologize for not blogging for so long. But my silence is not due to lack of thoughts. Oh I have many things to share. Sometimes things kind of get to you and you need a little space to yourself. Combine that with technology that refuses to be controlled by you (just couldnt access this site at all for many days!!), you have a silent period in my blog page.

This is Mumbai

Ya.. now you know where I went.. You can also guess what I am going to say by looking at the picture.

Anyone who travelled by the urban-rural Red bus will understand what I am talking about. Traffic Jam at Airport is what Mumbai is all about.

One ATR is parked between two Boeings.

Airplanes are waiting in queue for take off. They are wing-to-wing or tail-to-tail. As soon as one airplane takes off another one lands rright behind it on the runway. No problem in this case. As soon as one airplance touches ground, another one is running behind it for take off. That is worrisome. The runway is as bad as traffic jam at road signals at Bangalore. (ya, I am exaggerating as of now. Wait for few more months for reality).

From the continuous announcements in the airport you can never make out details of your plane. No wonder the staff goes around shouting "Jet Airways to Bangalore !!" "Spicejet to Delhi !!" (like they shout "chai chai"). The only reason people put up with all this is that they save on the travel time as compared to railways. If the waiting period extends any longer, railways will be faster and cheaper. To top it they are all 'no-frills' airlines these days. So if u are lucky u can buy water while u are waiting inside the plane. If you are luckier (i mean waiting for more than an hour) they sell chips. In this aspects trains are better - you are are never starved. Those who consider those vendors as pests, please make note.

Infrastructure in India !! I am lost for words !!
