Potpourri


Dinner@ Chownki Dhaani
Euphoria, as of now, has been lacking attention from my end, courtesy to my great love for multitasking and recently travelling too. It's so cool to travel to various places, specially when this phase comes in my life after long. Well, Jaipur and Delhi trips are what I'll be targeting in this post of mine. The month of September was the time to hit the ravishing and vibrant city of Jaipur. Thanks to our fellow mates who finally managed to make the college authorities agree for the trip. The trip, UNexpectedly was quite well organized but was fairly jinxed for me atleast. With my N97 pathetically failing to get used to the environment of Rajasthan, didn't work there. Plus I got a severe eye infection. Which lead to the spread of a rumour of eye flu (as it was a disease-fashion those days :p) and I was kept away from some not-worth-mentioning things. Keeping up with the pain and irritation, a visit to a famous place there, Chownki Dhani, made me forget about it and I actually got mingled in the sparkling jazz of the city. The place was one heck of a memorable places that I'll say, everyone SHOULD and MUST visit. The wonderful portrayal of their culture and the warmth with which they treated us was like WOW. Experienced camel ride for the first time, had heart full of their staple food. What'll be greater for a foodie like me? :p Plus the picturesque views of Aravali hills simply took my and my camera's breath away! :)
IIT D

Then showered the MSTs. So unwelcomed? :( Whatever. Wrapped them up to give a way to some greater times ahead. Preparations started for the coming up fest of IIT Delhi, Rendezvous, 2010. And I tell you, during this time, views changed. Rather changed many a times but finally I'd say, being associated with the dramatic club of my college would be another best thing of my college world. It was so much fun during practices. Learning, pulling legs, gossiping, managing, teaching and what not. And specially when you are one of the senior most in the group, u gotta get a great feel. :D On the serious note, preparing for the competition there was great too.

Hence, the month of October witnessed the Delhi trip. The trip to IIT D. Well, here I'd like to mention the very famous law of attraction. It's said that whatever you keep on thinking and wanting, gets pulled to you! Quite a similar thing happened in this case. :) Believe it or not but during past few months, one side of my brain had it's string attached to this place and its people. Been following some the famous people associated to IIT D and hence most of my talks included this. Who knew that one day I'll too get to see that supreme place. To actually see, what all the hype is about?! Coming back, the trip was an awesome fun. Didn't win. But still, as a friend said, "Never a failure, always a learning". And so it was. :) Then the

visit to breathtaking mall, Select City Walk, was simply an icing on the already yummy cake. :) Enjoyed like hell there. Phew! Finally, after a wonderfully tiring day, back to pavilion, we boarded the bus back to Patiala. Here I'd like to mention the incredible night journeys. While going, by train and while coming back by bus. It was so terrific to catch up with music while enjoying the trees and other landscape rushing past by. :)

I moved to Canada about 2 years ago. The world around and within me changed. Now, this realization wasn’t instantaneous. Definitely not th...
